HOUSE OF COMMONS.-THURSDAY

In reply to a question from Mr. H AWES,
Sir R. PEEL said it was the intention of the government
to appoint a commission, composed of persons of taste in the
fine arts—composed as well of members of parliament as
others—with a view to ascertain in what way the new houses
of Parliament Could be made conducive to the promotion of
the fine arts ; and that Prince Albert had announced his in-
tention to form one of the commission.
Dr. POWRING moved for copies of correspondence be-
tween the Home-office and the poor. law commissioners oft
the subject of distress in Bolton, with the report of the as-
sistant-commissioner sent by her Majesty's government to
inquire into alleged cases of destitution and death, referred
to in the debates in parliament during the present session.
The hon. member, in the course of his observations intro-
ducing his motion, admitted that there were some discre-
panc:es in the information which he had received, and upon
which he had made his former statements to the house.
Sir J. GRAHAM read some documents he had received,
showing how very fallacious were some of the statements of
the hon. member, and said it should be a caution to hon.
members to assure themselves of the correctness of their in-
formation before they made statements to the house as dis-

into the service.
A French vessel of war had arrived from Santa Martha on
the 12th. Hormichea had retired in disgust, and gone to Rio.
le Hacha.; Collaros still remained in Ocano ; Hernandez in
the Savannahs, and Obando in Papayan with GOO men, hem-
med in by Flores on one side, and Mosquera on the other.

The sloop Jane Ann, Captain Durant, sailed from Jamaica
on Aug. 24, for Carthagena, conveying important despatches
(received by the schooner Veloz) from the Constitutional
Governor of Rio Hacha. to him of Carthagena, and also a
small cargo of tobacco, rice, and corn, for the use of the gar-
rison. Another larger vessel will, we believe, sail within a
few days, with an additional supply of provisions for the
troops in Carthagena. The brigantine Jane, Capt. Robin-
son, likewise sailed on the next day for Rio Haca, having on
board the few hundred stand of arms required by the gover-
nor for the accoutrements of his forces.
The accounts from Texas, by these papers, state that three
commissioners had arrived in San Antonio, froth Mexico,
for the purpose of proposing a suspension of hostilities be-
tween the two countries, and opening a direct trade between
the Texan and Mexican provinces. This, it is considered, is
all that is wanting to impel the young republic to the utmost
state of prosperity with unparalled rapidity.
President Lamar had arrived at Galveston. It was gene-
rally understood that the object of his visit was to despatch
Com. Moor, with two armed vessels, to the coast of Mexico,
to co-operate with the Yucatanese and the Federalists against
Vera Cruz, in consequnce of the indignity lately offered J udge
Webb, as minister. A large portion of the citizens of Vera
Cruz, it is said, are friendly to the cause of the Federalists,
and it is believed the province could be revolutionised with
little difficulty.

DREADFUL AND FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE
LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY.-FOUR
PERSONS KILLED.

HAYWARD'S HEATH, SUNDAY

••
Yesterday considerable excitement took place at Brighton
in consequence of the non-arrival of the second train from
London, and the news quickly spread that a dreadful and
fatal accident had occurred on the line near Hayward's-
heath. Numerous anxious inquiries were made during tile
afternoon, as, up to a quarter before seven, four trains were
due. About that time they began to arrive, when a general
gloom pervaded the town.
From the particulars collected on the spot the following
account may be relied upon ; although not the slightest in-
formation is given by any of the parties connected with the
railway :—lt appears that the second train, which left Lon-
don, about a quarter before eleven, had proceeded at a steady
pace up to the time of the fatal occurrence, which happened
in a deep cutting about a mile on the London side of the
Haward's-heath station, at a place called " The Copyhold,"
the engine and tender dashing off the line, dragging with it
several of the carriages ; by the concussion the engine, ten-
der, and two of the carriages were literally smashed to pieces.
The shrieks of the passengers were dreadful. As,istance
being procured, it was discovered that the engineer and stoker
were smashed to atoms, and young woman nearly cut in
half, and so completely disfigured that she can only be re-
cognised by her clothes. The fourth was a young man, a
servant to one of the passengers. A great number received
very severe cuts and bruises. Several medical gentlemen
shortly after arrived from Cuckfield, and rendered every as-
sistance in their power.
The line being strewed with the fragments of the broken
carriages and engine, prevented the trains proceeding, and
the consequence was that the greatest confusion prevailed,
as four trains had arrived on the spot from London. It is a
most extraordinary circumstance that the rails are not at all
injured where the occurrence took place, and the engine is
described as having " jumped off," and being in a cutting
any one would have considered it the most unlikely place for
so serious an accident to have taken place. Some of the
fravnents of the carriages still remain by the roadside covered
ov4 with tarpauling, and numbers of men are employed
clearing them away.
A coroner's inquest will be held to-morrow on the bodies,
which are deposited in a shed near the spot where the occi-
dent took place. Some people who were walking on the line
had a very narrow escape, as a man and a woman with a
child were knocked down, but only received a few bruises.

the week, whilst for the month the sales amount to upwards of 1000
hhds., of which 500 were Kentucky stemmed, and .470 leaf; the
remainder consists of Virginia leaf and strips, in about equal
proportion: Prices have undergone very little alteration. We have
now four cargoes in from Virginia, one only of which is yet sampled,
and with that nothing has been done.
There is no change in the state of the market for Brimstone, the
demand continuing to take off several hundred tons per week, and
the sales reported in the present being 250 tons. For Sumac there
has been rather more inquiry, and see to 400 bags sold at 9s td to
10s per cwt. for Sicily, with some new at rather higher rates. The
250 casks Oporto Argols offered at auction were chiefly bought in,
at prices as to as higher than the buy, rs were disposed to give. A
few casks of brown Tartar brought 495. Cream of Tartar neglected.
All the Persian and Turkey Berries offered at auction were taken in
for want of bidders. There is not much inquiry for Madders or
%toots ; lint our extreme quotations for Turkey Roots have this
week been realized for a small parcel. Quercitron Bark is quite
neglected. 'file demand for Olive Oil has been good, and, owing
to its scarcity, rather higher prices paid for common descriptions ;
the sales, including some parcels of Spanish to arrive, have been
nearly 150 tuns. Fish Oils are steady, but there is not a brisk de-
mand ; a- few small lots of Cod and pale Seal have been sold at
former rates. Linseed Oil moves off slowly at the annexed quota-
tion. Pale Rape, of fine quality, has realized 565. Oil of Turpen-
tine continues dull at 49s to 505. Palm Oil has advanced aCI per
ton ; the sales this week amount to 500 tons, beginning at ..t'32 to
.'32 a., for 250 to 300 tons, off the quary ; but ..t.'32 15s to £33 has
since ucen paid, and there now remain very few sellers, even at
this advance. Hemp and Flax continue neglected, and we reduce
the quotation for Petersburg Hemp 105 per ton, at which reduction
there are sellers. The Tallow • market continues rather dull ;
Petersburg yellow Candle has been sold at 6d decline, and South
American, particularly the inferior sorts, are lid to Is lower.
