FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE TITHEBARN-
STREET RAILWAY STATION.
TWO PERSONS KILLED.

About eleven o'clock last night, William Parker, aged
22, guard of a luggage train on the East Lancashire Rail-
way, residing in Tatlock-street, and Mrs. Mary Hurst,
aged 32, wife of Mr. Henry Hurst, veterinary surgeon,
No. 1, Juvenal-street, met with their deaths in a most
dreadful manner. George Glaister, of Dover-street, states
that he was a passenger by the luggage train from Orms-
kirk, accompanied by Mrs. Hurst and William Parker,
the guard; and when the train arrived at the Great
Howard-street terminus, they all left the luggage van,
and were proceeding along the line between the rails of
the main line towards Tithebarn-street, when the engine
Hurricane, driven by Henry Bullfield, came behind them
unobserved, and ran over Parker and Mrs. Hurst, killing
them on the spot.

TELEGRAPH

THE EASTERN WAR.
(From the Times.)

VIENNA, MONDAY.—It is credibly reported that a
serious conflict has taken place between the Servians and
the Turks near Ushitza, on the Servo-Bosnian frontier.
The Turks were repulsed. The loss of both parties was
estimated at 500 men.

CONSTA.NTINOPLE, Nov. 16.—The French Military
Envoy has made his first official appearance at the Divan.
The greatest excitement prevails in Affghanistan. Dost
Mahomed has declared to the Shah of Persia that the
Affghans are at war with the Russians, that he means to
attack them in the direction of Chervan, and that he is
resolved to march through the Persian dominions, with
the Shah's consent.
The Khan of Bokhara has been killed by a band of
rioters mostly Affghans. He is succeeded by his late
Grand Vizier, an Affghan prince.
A correspondent, under date Vienna, Nov. 24, writes :
1"o armistice has been concluded, but hostilities are vir-
'4allY sus ended on the Danube. News of the retreat of
the T..
fl fwv,ritaPfrom Kalafat to Widdin is confirmed. Only
men remained at Kalafat.
Belgrade letters state that the difficulties between the
Porte and Servia are settled. The Turks are to garrison
the cities on the borders, and a contingent of 12,000 men
will be permitted to join' the army on the Danube.
The Chronicle's Vienna correspondent telegraphs that
all the reports of the Russians crossing the Danube are
unfounded. The Turks are fortified at Kalafat-24,000

strong.

The Augsburg Gazette has news from Poland of the
approaching recal of the Russian Ministers at Paris and
London.

The Times' money article says : "It was understood'in
the city on Monday that a treaty had been arranged
between England and France, guaranteeing Turkey
against any aggression on the part of Russia, and.that it
remains for Prussia and Austria to join therein if they
think fit."
The Times states in a leading article that there is little
reason to doubt that the principal portions of the cam-
paign have hitherto been uniformly creditable to the
Turks, and that they appear to have been more particu-
larly successful in the Circassian country ; but it does not
see that we are approaching any nearer to the evacuation
of the Principalities ant the withdrawal of the Russian
demands. The aggression of Russia must be resisted.
The authority of public law must be vindicated, and the
rights of Europe must be secured ; but these objects
are far mare likely to be attained by negociations con-
ducted with the consent of Europe, than by the engage-
ment of any particular powers in hostilities of which it
is impossible to predict the end.
EXPORT OF GOLD. —A further sum of £200,000 in gold
will be sent this day (Tuesday) to Rotterdam, on account
of the Russian Government. It is not expected that any
more remittances of large amounts will be made by pri-
vate firms.

INDIA AND CHINA

[GRATIS.

The letters have arrived. Colonel Mechinson's murderer
has been executed. The frontier was comparatively tran-
quil. There is nothing new from Burmah.
CALCUTTA, OCT. 18.—The prospects of the cotton goods
market had improved ; all fears of bad crops have been
dispelled. Freights lower, more ships offering. This,
with encouraging advices of colonial produce received by
the Bombay, will give impulse to exports. The probable
extent of the indigo crop is estimated at 105 to 108,000.
BOMBAY.—Money easy. Import business very limited.
Greater activity is expected after the holidays than has of
late existed. Metals steady ; cotton lower. Freights,
£2 12s. for vessels commencing loading, and £2 15s. for.
vessels nearly ready for sailing to London and Liverpool.
Shanghai had been taken almost without resistance on
the 7th Sept., and risings were expected in other places in
the district. The rebels hold Amoy. Canton was
threatened, and will probably change hands before the
despatch of the next mail.

The Tartar invasion of China begins to be talked of.
H.M. steamer Hermes was ordered to bring down the
survivors of the wrecked ship Lady Evelyn, bound to
California. There were 26 Chinese and 6 European ff
About 240 perished.
Trade in China still depressed.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—This DAY.
There was a much better attendance of country buyers at
this day's market, and a fair amount of business was doing
in Wheat at a reduction in price of 2d per 701 b. from the
rates of this day week. Flour was in slow demand, at is per
barrel lower. For Indian Corn, Oats, and Oatmeal, and
other articles, quotations are merely nominal, no material
transactions taking place in eith .
We continue to receive very little Grain or Flour, coastwise
or from Ireland; but of Oatmeal the supply is large, with
another reshipment of Indian Corn. Direct from abroad,
however, the arrivals, collectively, are considerable, amount-
ing, since this day week, to upwards of 29,700 qrs. of Wheat,
41,768 barrels of States and Canadian Flour, exclusive of
several imports of Beans, Pease, Indian Corn, and Corn Meal.
