supplies are small, and we have utme worth naming coast-
wise.—From Canada and the United States the imports, du-
ring the same period, comprise chiefly 4169 qrs. of Wheat,
and 12903 barrels of Flour, with 1200 qrs. Pease from
Europe.

Independently of occasional transactions of very little

import, and at prices varying in scarcely any instance from
the quotations stated previously; the Corn trade throughout,
from the close of Tuesday's market until to-day, continued

to exhibit a very heavy and uninteresting appearanee here

Having no extensive country buyers down this morning,
and our local millers remaining inactive, the Wheat trade
altogether was extremely inanimate, and the few limited
sales effected were at a decline of ld to 2d per 701 b. from the

dull, but being held at late prices, no decided change in

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE BIRMINGHAM AND
GLOUCESTER RAILWAY.-TWO LIVES LOST.

THURSDAY MORNING.
(From our own Correspondent.)
At a few minutes before six o'clock on Tuesday evening,
a locomotive engine, once well known at the Vauxhall Sta-
tion, Grand Junction Railway, as Dr. Church's engine, while
standing over an ash-pit at the Bromsgrove Station, blew up
with a terrific explosion. The following is an official account
of the melancholy accident :—The engine in question had
been made by Dr. Church, of Birmingham, for some time,
and, at his request, allowed to be tried on the Grand Junc-
tion Railway. On this trial it was found difficult to raise the
steam quickly, and Dr. Church had it back again to remedy
the defect. Last week, a friend of Dr. Church applied to
the directors of the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway to
o which they
~,ine by the en-
gineer of loconiotives. It was examined by him and his fore-
man, and reported favourably of; and the steam was got up
on Tuesday for the first time, and the engine made
several trips on the line without any loads attached,

nvu upparruuy very wen. atiout six o'clock
on Tuesday night, another trial was about to be made,
when the engine blew up with a tremendous explosion.
Scarf, a very careful driver in the employ of the company
with Rutherford, the foreman to the engineer of locomo-
tives, were upon the engine, with a man in the employ as the
proprietor of the engine, and one more person. Poor Scarf
was killed instantaneously, and Rutherford so much injured
that he expired yesterday (Wednesday) morning, whilst two
other men were severely scalded. T.

is at present unknown.

The engine had no load attached,
