ACCIDENT ON Tilt GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—An
accident of a very extensive nature occurred upon this
railway last Saturday morning, and attended with great
loss of life, not, we are happy to state, to any human be-
ing, hut to a great number (about 90) of sheep and calves.
The guards of the train, however, experienced a very nar-
row escape. The accident resalted entirely from the repre-
hensible.e practice of having an engine behind the train to
assist in propelling it.

home-grc

7th of June, there was a rally in prices to the extent of Bs,
per quarter ; gra from the 7th to, the k4th of June then

_
was again a redaction to about the same ainount, owing
principally to news of large arrivals being- expected from
America. The funds are rising as the price of grain falls.
An old man, 81 years of age, was brought rip last week

LAR CONFESSION; &:e.—The above Roman CAtbolic jour-
nal states that the chapel' at Magdalene College, Cam-
bridge, is being "purified from the desecratiOns of the

auricular confession, in the English Church, has- been that
things which have' been revealed in confession-have been
talked of in society. ThiS is attributed by the' Tablet to
the persons receiving such confessions (the number is va-
riously estimated at from sia, to twenty), berugl some of
them married men!--Chfirelt and State Gazette.
