Most descriptions of washed have commanded, however, about the rates then current) but greasy wool is to Id. per pound cheaper.

The debate on the bill for taxing raw material is now progressing in the National Assembly at Versailles. The lobbies are full of excited spectators. The members of the Bight are resolute in their determination to oppose the measure, and hope for a majority against it, with the aid of the repre sentatives of the free-trade districts of Southern France. Among the ques tions discussed is the contigency of the resignation of Thiers ; and the appoint ment of a triurr.virate, composed of Marshal MacMahon, General l'Admi rault, and Due de Broglie, is again mooted. It is said that the Party of the left are now unanimous in their support of Theirs. They have had an interview with the President, and on receiving a promise of their assistance, he made a brief speech, in which he distinctly stated that he would not in any event resign. Theirs also an nounced that he was fully aware of the intrigues of the Right, and remarked that the Left may implicitly rely on him to defend with, firmuess and all his power the interests of the Bepublic, Madrid, July 3rd.

Fearful Railway Accident in Canada.

Belleyille, June 22nd

The night express went down past this place at 2.30 this morning full of passengers, among whom were many ministers of the Engiish Church on the way homeward from the Synod at Toronto. About eleven miles below Beleville Station the engine jumped the track, carrying death and fearful torture to scores of passengers in the forward cars. The baggage car re mained on the track and telescoped the smoking car and second-class passenger car, leaving them on the top of the engine exposed to the escaping steam from the boiler. The poor creatures were hopelessly penned for some time breathing the vapors of death, and suffering agony from immersion in the boiling cauldron of superheated water.

O. M. Roddy, an eye witness, says that immediately after the disaster lie went to the second-class car. It and the smoking car were telescoped, and on the locomotive, the steam from which was issuing round the cars so densely that he could see nothing. One after another of the scalded victims were crawling from the open ings. Crowbars were immediately put iito requisition by the passengers of the first-class cars, all of whom escaped injury, and openings were made. The passengers were extricated with the utmost difficulty, the timbers having to be broken ::i half Persons were found dead, and carried to the road side, where the wounded lay for nearly three hours in the most fearful agony. Dr. Burdett, of Bellville, arrived and had them removed to a Pulman car.

On their arrival here everything was promptly done to allay their sufferings. The medical men in town were summoned, and mattresses pro cured and the large freight shed turned into a temporary hospital, where the patients received every possible attention. The medical men and their assistants are unremitting in their attentions. The Ministers of the Gospel are with each other in zeal in the administration of their sacred office.

The sight was one to baffle des cription, and the terrible cries of the sufferers rent the ears of the lookers on, who made every possible effort to grant their requests for water. Their terrible injuries were tear?**} t0 witness, while the prayers and cries of the victims approaching dissolution were heard. After the injured arrived here death brought some of them happy relief from their terrible agonies. Those least injured walked about swathed in bandages, and conversed freely about the occurrence of the night. The express and baggage cars were forced past the broken engine, without injuring the express messen ger or baggageman; but the smoking car telescoped the second-class car. The latter going forward, knocked the safety valve off the boiler and remained on top of the engine, allowing the steam to fill the second-class car, which was crowded with passengers, many of them lumbermen en route for Quebec. The two first-class ears and Pullman car were comparatively unin jured, and the passengers were trans-, shipped and went East this forenoon. Sixty-five men and women were fearfully scalded and otherwise injured. Six died on the spot, and their bodies were brought to Belleville Four more have died, and others are dying every hour. Not more than one-third of | the injured will live. John Hibbert, .engineer, was in stantly killed, and Found, fireman, was badly injured; one leg had to be amputated. H. M. Neilson, conductor, and other train hands escaped unin jured. The wounded and dying are lying stretched on mattresses on the floor of the freight shed so much dis figured as to be unrecognisable. Five of the wounded who were able to walk left by express train for Toronta. Belyii/le, June 22.

Since the report this afternoon, twelve more of the , injured by the railway disaster have died, making twenty-three dead now. ' Others are dying The physicians say that not more than six or seven of thejrixty five injured persons will live. ?The suf fering'and appearance of the wounded is frightful.

COMMERCIAL.

Hemp was quiet. The offerings at auction consisted chiefly of New Zea land, which were held firmly, and only 61 bales sold— ordinary to medium £32 ss. and £38; remainder bought in at £36 10s. and £45.

Kauri Gum - The offerings were chiefly bought in. Sales: 177 eases, ordinary soft and dark, 265.; fine bold, clean chips, 32s Gd; low middling scraped sorts, 82 6d @ 33s ; middling, 35 ; good do., 41 @ 43s Cd ; fine clean pale, 655. Hides were in good demand, and the small supply of Australian at the sales brought extreme rates. In the iron trade there appears to be no limit to the advance in prices, the attitude of the men being the main cause of quotations fcoitig so unduly forced up. To-day Messrs Jacomb, Son and Co. sold 4420 bales, of which 2238 bales were from New South Wales and Queensland. There was a fair degree of animation apparent, and prices showed no material alteration from those already held. The San' Francisco Company has reduced their rates as follows : Manila, in lots of 10,000 lbs., 18c; lots less than 10,000 lbs., 19c; extra sizes and lengths, 20c ; New Zealand Elax Eope, 12-|c to the trade, and 13|e for retail lots.
