the passengers, who were still completely wedged in.
One gentleman, Mr. Adam Duff,. of Re..ling, who was in
the first carriage when it fell over on to its roof, got his
head fixed firmly into the hole thrott,tl. which the lamp
is ordinarily suspended, and it was wit!, the utmost diffi-
culty he could be extricated. Mr. Doff had some of his
fin4,Js broken, but was not otherwise injured seriously.
Th' body of Mr. Gibbs was got out as soon as possible,
and conveyed to the Ealing station. This gentleman's
death seems to have been occasioned by a fracture of the
spinal cord about the neck. Among the other passengers
injured were Mr. Miller, of Warminster. whose forehead
was seamed with a terrible gash ; Mr. Ormerod, of Brase-
nose College; and Mr. Kelly, the company's station.
master at Birmingham.

Dr. Pritchard Smith was brought on to London, and
conveyed to the Prince of Wales Hotel, close to the sta-
tion, where his dislocated shoulder was reduced by Mr.
Caesar Hawkins, and he is going on favourably, as was
also Mr. Miller. The accident is supposed to have ori-
ginated in the breaking of one of the " scroll irons," or
" spring hangers." attached to the near leading wheel of
the front class carriage. The consequence of this break-
age would be to set the axle-box free, merely giving the
wheel a play which would necessarily, in a very short time,
throw it off the line. The ballast is torn up for some 400
yards, indicating that the wheel or wheels had been off
tile rails before the coupling chains broke. There must,
of course, be a degree of uncertainty as to the precise
cause of any accident of this character, but from a careful
examination this appears the most probable solution of
the disaster. It is suggested that the extraordinary
variations in temperature during the previous forty-eight
hours may have been the primary cause of the fracture
described, no imperfection being visible in the iron.
The inquest on the body of Mr. Gibbs was held on
Saturday, when a verdict of accidental death was recorded.
Mr. Gibbs was a very extensive vitriol-manufacturer at
Bristol, and had been a director of the Great Western
Railway almost from the period of its incorporation. He
was in no way connected with the firm of Messrs. Gibbs
Bright, and Co., of this twon.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET,
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25.
At this day's market we had a rather better demand for.
Wheat, but the transactions generally were in retail ; to effect
sales in any quantity a slight reduction is necessary, except
for fresh parcels of red foreign, which are relatively Scarce.
Flour was 3d. per brl. lower, which induced consumers to buy
more freely. Oats were neglected, and the turn in favour of
buyers; Oatmeal nominally unaltered in value. The market
is pretty well cleared of Egyptian Beans, and an advance of 6d.
per qr. established ; some further purchases made to arrive
here. In Indian Corn, ex warehouse, little doing: buyers of
fioating cargoes hold off for the expected arrivals.
