CLOSE OF THE POLL—FIFTH DAY, HAT 27. Sir John Key 2,421 kr. Berjarsin Stott Majority for Sir John Key ll SHARE LISTS. FRIDAY BRINING. The railway market showed a drooping tendency to-day, but the decline was very trifling, and was rather in sympathy with the downward movement of the funds, than from any pressure of sales. Real business in British shares is very restricted. The excellent traffic returns continue to support prices. East Lancashire*, Irish Great Southern and Wes terns, and North Staffords, amongst other lines, were cheaper. 1011110 K 111 gawp ied asiterden Imam gralmeis..

The English stock market was again heavy to day, upon the complications of the Turkish question, but the market recedes reluctantly. There is a strong impression that the alarming statements relative to this question received by telegraph are exaggerated. The depression in prices to day was chiefly traceable to some large sales made by an influential broker, who usually acts on banking account. The other departments of the house arc in a state of suspense, being devoid of active business, except the market for French shares, which was brisk, the fluctuations of the Paris bourse being watched with much anxiety. This afternoon it transpired that prices came better from Paris at the close of to-day's bourse, owing to the Turkish accounts being interpreted as more pacific in their character. The depression in the market appears to have been further assisted by the springing up of a very brisk demand for money out of doors, to meet the re quisite payment falling due to-morrow on the new shares just issued by the London and North Western Railway Company. The amount of this payment is about 600,000!., and in the pressure accompanying it we have a further illustration of the mode in which the capabilities of our mousy market are being over taxed.

The pnsitiun of several of the Items of the account is evidently indicative of a gradually increasing strin gency of the money market—a movement caused by the extraordinary activity of trade in all its branches, and by the heavy demands on the market for new undertakings at home and abroad. The rapidity with which the treasury deposits flow into the Bank—although a very favourable feature, tut proving the flourishing state of the revenue, and the ease with which it is collected—yet, by contracting the circulation more rapidly than usual, assists in aggra vating the tightness of money. The increase in this item during the last fortnight has averaged up wards of three-quarters of a million sterling per week. The decrease of upwards of a quar.tr of a million in the B mk's stock of the precious metals, by which this item is reduced below 18 millions, is another adverse feature, as attesting the efflux of gold to the continent. THIS DAY.—Two o'CLocit. With the commencement of the arrangements for the settling, the railway market is a shade flatter in tone to-dtiy, but price s in nearly all cases rule the same as yesterday a ft ernoon . Midlands are a trifle cheaper. Business remains quiet. The rates of con tinuation are in most cases lighter than last account. French shares are again higher, but quieter than yesterday.

Payne held an inquest at St. Butboloatew's Ho'pita' on the body of James Walsh, arid 84, who died is that hospital from a woond in the abdcw ind cted by some gimp installment on the night of the 18th instant. The jury haviog viewed the body, the following evidence ens taken itr7Aiired Stephen Wood, of No. 6, Francis-place, Lower Uoway, surgeon, said—Last Wedaesday week, at about Squatter past one in tho morning, I was called to see a Ma said to have been wounded is the abdomen. I ao ilempaaied the messenger, a man, who bad with him a lad alwat 17 yews of age, to I, Pleasant-passage, Lower Hello ing. When we got to the house, the door was opened by • young womsa, who said, "The man is very wsU, and 1111 not - want me." The son, however, said, "Come up, ter, sad see ;" hut the woman stood at the foot of the stain, end said that I should nut peas. I said, " Very well," sad taming away, said that I would return with the police. I left the Wan, and soon met • policeman, when the woman came after me, and said her rudeness to me was min to tier being awakened out of her sleep. I went leek with the policeman, and going up stairs saw the de. timed in the first door front room on the bed. Ile was tressed, but his *oust* were unbuttoned. I maw a wound It the lower part of the abdomen on the left aide, and on *minims it I found there was • great quantity of coagu lated blood, which I did not disturb. It was a punctured sieved. and was about an inch in length. There were pre test in the room the policeman, the son, the young man, and an old man, whom I understood was the grandfather. lA,' asked the deceased bow it was done, and the son said it was done in a row" in the court, bet when and hy *hem be did not know. I remarked, "Not by the woman F" and be said, " No—ro one there." The deceased made no sassier to my questions. I asked him several times, but the sea each time answered the same. I advised his re gionl to the hospital. While the policeman was gone for Mutate* the eon lighted his pipe, and invited me to to the same. The youth said, " I would not care if I had only seen it duce." I asked what it wee done with, sad somebody in the room said " A knife," tat Ido not know who it was that said so. I did not see lay knife there, nor was there any blood about the room. Its clothes were completely saturated with blood, as were he clothes of the bed on Virli he lay. I saw no blood on he stairs. if it had been done in the court I think there would have been blood there unless it had been washed up. I Wills, 159 N., corroborated this evidence. Hastings Moore, polite-sergeant, 29 N, said he was on day at the station on the night is questioa. Therm ems a and aid that his father had been stabbed near the Hol• lewayiste. Soon after the deceased was brought in, and *e ion went away. He had known the deceased as a pri vate watchman and .a shoemaker. Witness said to him, " Walsh, how woe it done I" and he said, " Oh, Mr. Moore. some woman has stabbed me in Plf assent-passage." Witnem said, " I have beard the surgeon has said you will sot live, do tell me the truth." He said again, " A woman his done it in Handylest-row." Pleasant-place used to be tilled by that name. He was then sent to the hospital on a stretcher. Neer's' other witnesses were examined, but none were able to furnish the jury with the means of ascertaining the band which dealt the blow. The Coroner then summed up the evidence, and The juty reiurned a verdict of " Wilful murder against Nate person or perms unknown." Ihe police were instructed to use every exertion to trace the enurd^rer and bring him or her to justice. APVIIIECARIErs' llALL.—Names of gentlemen who limed their essmin.tion in the science and practic , of titlicine, sad received certificates to Practise, on Thursday, 1843; James Earl Morton, Merton Hall, Cheshire ; Jots Ivy /dais, Catterick, Yorkshire; Robert Aulesirk Oarstane, Lancashire Hall Ryntt, . 1. ., ? .r5k, Yorkshire; Richard Carmichael Bourne, Dublin; Cathbart Blackett, Dothan. The nomination of candidates for the seat vacated by Mr. Matthew Wilson, whtse election was declared void by a pardamentary committee, on the ground that his agents had been geilty of bribery and treating, took plass Welshman morning. The candidates are Mr. J o h n Th omas Welshman Alpinell, of Standen Hall, the opponent of Mr. Wilson at the general election, on conservative prinsiples • and Mr. Richard Fort, of Read Hall, in the liberal fate: rest. Mr. Fort wan a candidate for North Lancashire at the general election, but retired on the day of nominatiess. The hustings were erected in the open air, at the lower end of Castle-street, about two hundred yards from the ruins cf Clitheroe Castle, which frown upon the little town from the upper end of the street. Clitheroe had one seat lopped oft by the Refl.= bill, and to qualify it for retaining the other the tovriships of Whalley, 4 miles south; Chetburn, 2 miles north; Sabilen, Pendleton, sad Whiswell were added; but, after all, the parliament/a borough, with this wide district included, is but iosigniffi• cant in population, and includes on the register only 4fill names, with disqualified end dead men altogether, white are ten in excess of the num' er qualified at the last eke. Lion. The town of Clithero itself presents a much quiets*. aspect than at the previous election, when treatise was practised on a large scale ; but the few of a disturbance have not been inoperative. The mayor, however, having sought the aid of the county police, bodies of the rural constabulary from all parts of Lancashire arrived during Thursday night and yes terday morning, and Captain Sheppard and Superintendent Sheppard (of Blackburn) found themselves at the head r..f force in the borough of 200 constables. Captain Woodford afterwards arrived from London, and took charge of this very efficient force. Although open treating has not been practised, the system of bottling is reported to be in great force, and the police were applied to on Thursday night by the friends of Mr. Fort to rescue one of his pledged sup- Wporters said to be held in durance at • public-house in halley. The officers declined to interfere unless a war rant was obtained, but, apprehending • disturbance, sent a small force to Whalley to repress any rioting. During last night the friends of Mr. Fort began toassemble fora rescue but a collision was prevented by the " bottled" man him self crying out lustily from an upper window of the inn fur the polite, and declaring that ho was held prisone r , and would throw himself down unless set at liberty, tinder these circumstances the police were compelled to act, and probably have thereby prevented some rather serious riot ing. A drunken farmer was also bottled, and carried away in a chaise at a late hour on Thursday night. A bottled voter is said to have been previously carried away to Dub lin. The canvass is supposed to indicate a close run at the poll, and about 30 voters are reported to be holding them roteee.in.eseerwa Sway isiiise that irk, hoiden& The proceedings commenced about ten o'clock. Mr. JOUN TAYLOR, of Morton, nominated Mr. Arpin%ll, and the nomination wu seconded by Mr. RObEliT Daw- KUNST. M. °mottos FOSTIIR, of Sabden, nominated Mr. Fort, and Mr. HINRI THOMSON, of Primrose, seconded it. Mr. ASPINALL then proceeded to give at some length an explanation of his political creed. Mr. FORT next addressed the assemblage for nearly an hour, entering rather fully into an explanation of his opinions. On a show of hands, the mayor declared Mr. Fort to have the nr . .jority (a very large one), and a poll was demanded for Mr. Aspinall. The poll is to take place this day. TILE ACCIDENT ON THE LANCASHIRE AND YORKShIRE RAILWAY. PRESTON, FRIDAY. The inquest on the body of Mr. William Holden, manufacturer, of Chorley, one of the sufferers by the acci dent et Leagete, on Wedneacley, closed last night. When the inquiry commenced the female sufferer had not been identinid with certainty; but it has since been ascertained that her name was Mary kl'Cann, servant at the New Inn, Blackpool. She was on her way to Preston, to consult a physician with regard to her health. Mr. Blackmore, traMe manager of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, and Mr. Johnson, engineer, were present during the coroner's inquisiticn. A number of witnesses were examined, who detailed the Particulars of the accident, which have already appeared in the Express. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental Death," at the same time intimating that the guards should have in structions to pay particular attention to locking carriage doors on the dangerous side. WEST CRINNIB MINING COMPANT.—Yesterday, the half-yearly meeting of this company took place at the offices in Essex.street, Strand ; Mr. Charles Slinks in the chair. From the reports which were read, it appeared that the directors h►d commenced the sinking of an engine and fiat-rod shafts—the former being down about 11 fa thoms and the latter 13 fathoms, on good ground for sinking and minerals. They had also commenced the erection of an engine-house, which it was probable will be completed in about a month from this time. Carpenters' and black smith: shops, and other necessary buildings, were in course deconstruction ; and tlu re was every reason to believe, from the result of the past operations, that the mines would prove valuable both to the employers and the employed. There was no doubt that the mines would be found I highly mineralogical at a moderate depth —say 20 fathoms below the edit, which was Ming extend, din order to effect a communication with the shafts where the water would be discharged from the pump, and thus afford ventilation. The lode which is now being worked was in about 10 fathoms, and was called the South Crinnis mine, running directly through the West Crinnis sett, and there had been already a sale of 5101. worth of copper from that lode alone. The results of the inspection made by Captains John Webb and Charles Thomas were confirmatory of the opinions ex pressed in the reports—that the development of the mina was well worthy of attention and vigorous prosecution. The reports were adopted, and resolutions were passed ex pressive of confidence in the present management of tho company, and various routine matters having been at tended to, the business terminated. . . 6 ea IC Bt. 16 Sotrru LINCOLNSHIRE MILITIA. Colonel Sib thorp, M.P., and the officers of the Royal South Lincoln. shire Militia, which has just mustered at Grantham, have announced their intew ion of giving &grand ball to the in habitants of the town and neighbourhood, in the course of the ensuing week, at the Corn Exchange, which has been placed at the disposal of the corps by the municipal autho ri'ies. The regiment has only been in training seven days, but the officers have done their work so well that the men under their commend would pus muster u troops of very much longer standing. On Tuesday last, beieg her Ma jesty's birthday, the gallant colonel regaled all the privates and noncommissioned officers with a liberal supply of good old English ale in the held, nod the Queen's health was drunk with three times three hearty cheery. The staff and drill strjeants sit down to an excellent dinner at the Angel Hotel, and the evening passed off with the greatest good feeling sad conviviality. This entertainment was provided at the private expense of the gallant colonel, who has also generously undertaken to supply the necessary funds fur the ball.

The dealers have large selling orders on hand, which they are unable to execute in the absence of purchasers. Business in the gold mining shares was also ex tremely dull, and the market is flat. Peel River have receded to 34 to 34 prem. Yuba River were flatter, and Lake Bathurst did not maintain the ad vance of yesterday. At four o'clock Colonial Gold was quoted 14- to 14 prem. ; Great Nugget, 14 to 14 prem. ; Port Philip, 1 prem.; British Australian, 1-16 to 3-16 prem.; Nouveau Monde, 14 to 11 prem.; Agua Frio, 1 to 14 prem.; Anglo-Californian, 7.16 to 9-16 prem. The shares of the Jamaica copper companies do not rally, there being no epeculation. Metcalfe closed 9 to 91 prem. Rhymney Iron shares were 1/. higher.

THIS DAY.—Two O'CLOCK. The settlement of the account has commenced in the Gold Mining Shares, but the market is devoid of novel feature. Colonial Gold are quoted 1: to 11 prem., and Nouveau Moodes 1 7-16 to 1 9-16 prem. Liberty Shares mark 1 prem., and West Mariposa 1 din. to par. . . . . Australian Agricultural Shares remain quoted 70 to 72; Peel River, 3 to 31 pron.; North British Australasian, 7-16 to 9-16 prem. ; and Scottish Australian Investment, 1 13-16 to 1 13.16 prem.

Consols opened with a tolerably steady appearancel at 1001 to 1, but Suddenly declined ha 100: to I. After some fluctuation the price closed buyers at 1003 for money and the Ist June; but the market was very sensitive to rumours, and authentic iotelli gence is anxiously looked for. For delivery in July the price ruled at 1001 to Z. The official business report includes :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 1001, 1, :, i; ditto for account, 1001, I, :, Z. Three per Cent.

The Exchequer Bill market was flat. Upon the government broker re-appearing as a purchaser of the March issue, the price, as usual, was raised upon him, his purchase beiug effected at la.prem., but the prevalent and closing quotation was 3s. die. to par. India Bonds mark 30s. prem. The foreign stock market was flat, especially for Mexican Bonds, but business remains circumscribed. Speculative stocks are chiefly affected, but sales aro in few cases pressed. Peruvian Bonds remain de pressed. At 4 o'clock Mexican ]fonds were quoted 2GI to 3 ; Granada Active, 22 to 23 ; Peruvian Four and-a-Half per Cent.

We hear of the despatch this week of 5,0001. by the John Sugars for Sydney, and 15,0001. by the Amaranth for Ho bart Town, exclusive of the amounts in the hands of passengers. The rates of foreign exchange to-day exhibited little variation from those of last post, but it may be noticed that the general aspect of the market, so far, is not unfavourable. The transactions are limited, but do not exhibit any disturbance arising out of the present aspect of continental politics. Paris showed firmness, and was even a trifle higher, especially for short paper. Bills on Amsterdam remain offered at 11.181. Hamburg was a little more in demand at 13.81. Frankfort ruled at 1201, and St. Petersburg at 37/ to I. Vienna and Trieste were nominal at 10.52. Madrid was rather offered at 301,whilst 304 to was paid for Cadiz paper. The quotation of exchange at St. Petersburg on London comes reported to-day at 381 d. to 7 16d., being firm. There is not the slightest probability of any more gold being shipped from this side to St. ' Petersburg ; the current will probably be the other way, should any movement of the precious metal take place between the two countries. All land shares were again lower. Australian Agriculturals, which have been heavy for some days past, closed 70 to 72 only. In the present stagnant state of the market, a comparatively small sale pro duces a considerable effect on the price. North ' British Australasian left off ; prem. sellers, whilst Scottish Australian Investments were firmer at 1/ to I; prem. Crystal Palace shares closed 2l to 3: 7 prem. Australian Bank shares continue fiat, and Orientals were also weaker. Shares of the Bank of British North America have been done at 631; Vic toria Docks (41. paid), 71, 7 ; Australian Royal Mail Steam (61. paid), 4 ; General Steam Navigation, 311, 1 ; Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 77, 76; Royal It Steam, 77, 78. Shares of the Grand Central of France Railway closed 11 to 2 prem. ; Grand Trunk of Canada, ; dia. to ; prem. ; Berlin Wa terworks, ; to I prem. ; Melbourne and Colonial House and Investment Company, ; to ; prem. Hamburg letters of the 24th mention the failure of Messrs. H. 0. Plitt and bon,of Lubeck. The weather had become warm in the sun, but was very cold at nights, the wind being easterly. The ground is consequently described as arid, the rye thin and looking yeliow, and altogether the reverse of pro raising. Short and late crops were consequently predicted. A sum of 600,000 banco marks in silver was going to Stockholm by the next steamer, under stood to be on account of the bank. A further sum of 102,000 marks in silver had been despatched to St. Petersburg by steamer, and a good deal of pla tina was expected from that place by the next boat. Money was consequently tight at 3 per cent., and little exchange business was doing. Great agitation prevailed in the spotter market, owing, as it was un derstood, to parties buying to fulfil earlier contracts. About 40,000 ccntncr had been bought, driving the , price up to 14 marks. Rapeseed was looking up.

The private demand fur Foreign still con tinues favorable and considerable Pales are reported. Coffee has been moderately quiet, and at auction very full prices have been paid, particularly fur the good and tine descrip tions of Plantation Ceylon; Native has been sold at 475. fid. per cwt., at which good ordinary quality is quoted. Cocoa continues very dull and unsaleable, unless at a decline. Rice is inactive. In Spice a moderate business has been done, and flack and White Pepper are dearer.
