Poet Nstal 3ept.l3 This is " continuation day" in the railway share market, and the arrangements for the settlement of the account now in progress, have given rise to a little fluctuation in particular lines, but on the whole have not induced a firmer feeling in the mar ket generally. The rates for carrying over, how ever, in most cases are trifling , and in several in stances, including Orcat Northern', a " backwards tioa" has been conceded. London and North West erns and Midlands have attracted some numer; Ms transactions, and at one time realised ra ther higher prices than were obtainable at the close of yesterday's market, but they are now rather lower again. South Eastern. are decidedly worse, and quoted 19 to 4, in consequence of its being announced that the dividend is fixed at Bs. per share only. Lancashire and Yorkshires, on the other hand, are very buoyant, and have reached 601. .uaue AND STOCKS UNOUARAIITEED. According to the official returns published in the Gazette of last Tuesday, the total note circulation of all the private banks of England and Wales during the week ending the 30th of August last, was 3,200,963/. ; in the week preceding, the amount was 3,216,1741. There is consequently a decrease of 13,211/. MINCING-L/41P., SATURDAY MORNING. In the colonial markets, although the amount of produce that has changed hands has not been large, prices rather below those current last week have been accepted. The public sales of Sugar have not gone off 1.01; importers have bought in largely, but the portion told has been nt fully Gd. per cwt. decline. The Ditch Company's sales of coffee at Rotterdam went off briskly, at fully the valuations, and upon the receipt of the news of this sale our market became firm, and u good business was done, but the subse quent decline at the sales held at Amsterdam has tended somewhat to check the demand here, and importers to sup port the market have been compelled to buy in, the actual sales made being at prices occasionally in favour of the buyers. The inferior descriptions of Bengal rice have heart sold on rather easier terms. The tea business done by pri vate contract has been small. The public sales of yesterday and to-day passed off flatly, but without much alteration in prices.

Mr. Stone, for the bankrupt, asked fur a certificate of the first close, observing that the failure was mainly attributa ble to the death of the bankrupt's father ' whereby u policy to a large amount, 2,000 L, had been placed in doubt, he had immediately placed himself iu the hands of his creditors, and had conducted himself so as to gain their approbation. Mr. Whitmore the official assignee, said the amount of assets would depend on the result of the sale of the mort caged property ; also on the event of the claim made on the Equitable Insurance Office, in respect of the policy alluded to.

The bankrupt had been connected with several building societies; he had hell the situation of collector of assessi.ll tales, which he lost through being in arrear ; then his liabilities to the building societies were rapidly swelled by aerears and fines ; and a bankruptcy was the unavoidable result. It was to be stated in his favour that be had supported his father up to the time of his death, and also his sister. Ile had been connected with no less than seven building societies. These societi n, originally designed to facilitate the small investments of the labouring claw, had become used to a great extent by persons of a superior claw, m a means of raining large aum4 of money. H His honour said it behoved him to be very careful in the classification of certificates; and this was certaitdy not • MC for a first-class certificate, or it might be said that first claw certificates were given to government defaulters. Mr. Stone said he had only held the office of collector a very short time. Up to his father's death he was solvent, and it was likely the property would realise a considerable sur dis us ilonour observed that he had permitted his stock and furniture to be seized by a particular creditor, his OWII, soli citor, so lately as the 2,th of April.

Tlie 30e weather continues most favourable for the progress of the harvest, and in many places the important labours of the go season are drawing to a close. The atmosphere has been divested of that closeness that characterised the weather of a portion of the last few weeks, and although there is for " the most part a warm, cheering sun, yet the air is cool and lu bracing, and very suitable for preserving the reaped grain. We regret to observe that the reports of the potato crop are ee not so favourable duriug the last week, although the market price has advanced considerably during the last few days. is The usual mode of explaining this latter circumstance u would be that the farmers are too busy in the fields to take time to bring them to market, and we cannot think that, if so the disease was mating that rapid progress the reports in et circulation would lead us to suppose, they would run the 12 4 risk of losing a large portion of the crop by permitting them to remain in the ground. The number of partially diseased ' tubers are certainly more numerous than they were a week so we two ago, but wo still think there is out yet any cause to 10 warrant a doubt of the fact that a large proportion—pro bably to the amount of an average crop—wad remain sound. 10 —Belfast Netts-Letter. SO FATAL ACCIDENT.—About nine o'clock last even- ea ing, as the driver of one of Meyers. Pickfurds' waggons was proceeding up Presidentstregt, Doswell-street, sitting at 14 the time on the shaft, and, uis supposed, being asleep, ho 30 fell off, the wheels passing over him, and crushing him in 61 a most frightful manner. When the body was taken up life was quite extinct. el SHOCKING OCCERRENCE AT WRINGTON, SOMERSET. 12 —Two Wormer Pomo:gen.—lntelligence was received at u Bristol on Thursday afternoon of an occurrence of a shock ing kind having taken place at the village of Wrington situate at about ten miles distant from that city on the Sumenetshire side. The rumour which first reached was that two women had been murdered by poison, but on in quiry being made on the spot the particulars were found to be as follows:—Thos names of the deceased women were Sarah Ann Roberts and Charlotte Birch. Roberts was the widow of a shoemaker who about a year since absconded from the village and emigrated to one of our colonies, , where he shortly afterwards died ; his wife (who was between 20 and 30 years of age) was left with two young children, and without any means of provision for them and herself beyond what trifle she could earn by binding boots and shoes. She occupied a little cottage near Wnogton, and was latterly understood to have mewed an attach ment fur a young man between whom and herself, it now appears, en illicit intercourse had been carried on, as she was at the time of her death somewhat advanced in preg nancy. The other female, Birch, was a native of a neighbouring village (Churchill), but had recently lived as housemaid with a family at W. ston-super-Mare, from which she had been dismissed a short time ago in conse quence of its being suspected that she was pregnant. Upon her return home Birch became intimate with Roberts, and on Tuesday last she was at her cottage, as was also the young man with whom the latter kept company. They were neither of them, as far as has transpired, seen to take anything, but in the afternoon they were both seised with severe Blues,. Roberts was immediately put to bed and Birch conveyed home, and surgeons were called in to see them. It was soon ascertained that they were suffering from the effects of some poisonous drugs, which they had taken for the purpose of endeavouring to procure abortion. Suspicions are entertained that the deleterious stuff was given to them by a woman who has sines run away from the neighbourhood, but tabs would seem to be contradicted by the statements which they made during their last illness. Roberts stated that she prepared the stuff sad took it with her own hand, and that no one else in any way interfered with it, while Birch asserted that Roberts induced her to take it, telling her that it would asset her ease, and that if it failed to effect the object aimed at, it could not hurt her in the least. After the deaths, too, the house of Roberts was searched, and in her box were found four quart bottles full of the drug of which the unhappy women partook. Information of the sem fence was conveyed to the Coroner, who at ones Wog Ha warrant for the holding au inquest, and has directed post merlon examinations of the bodies to be made by the tar pons who attended them, Mr. Chadwell and Mr. Coated. The inquiry will be prosecuted on Wednesday next, when the whole matter will be thoroughly investigates NAVAL APPOINTWww ,r, - Seri. 12. Mona (conviet-ship). .

Cash sales of Consols have again been offered, and have caused a further decline to 951 to 96, but the market has since rallied k, and now stands at the reduction of 1 established at the close of business yesterday, the present range being 96 to 1 for cash, and 961 to for the 14th October. It is possible that the settlement in railway shares and foreign stocks now coming on may have had some influence in bringing forward sellers on a weak market, but for several days past disquieting rumours as to the condition of particular houses have been propagated, and the proceedings of the discount houses an d banking establishments are watched with much attention. To-day's business prices are: Three per Cent. Consols, 961, 954; ditto for account, 961; New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. (shut), 98/. Exchequer Bills support their late quotation of 455. to 48a. prem., with only a quiet business doing. India Bonds are nominally unaltered. The foreign stock market has attracted a fair average number of transactions for a Saturday, the approaching settlement of the fortnight's account, which is fixed for Tuesday, exercising some in fluence. Generally, ;the transactions of the as count have been very light, but in Mexican Bonds the settling will prove heavy, the fluc tuation in the value of this stock having been so considerable. Further sales of Equador Bonds have offered this morning, on account, it is believed, of sonic of the speculators in Mexican bonds,' cer tain of whom arc understood to have been rather extensively touched. The attempts which were so perseveringly , made some months past to bolster up the market for this stock, by blinding the bond holders as to the actual position and prospects of the republic, have at length been pretty well exposed, and the results which were naturally to be expected have followed. That Mexico may speedily acquire a strong, faithful, and honest administration, is sin cerely to be wished, as beneficial equally to the interests of commerce and her English creditors, but all attempts at misrepresentation should be con sistently exposed. The following are to-day's sales:—Belgian Four and•a-Half per Cents., 941 ; Brazilian New Five per Cents., 1829, and '39, 88; Danish Five per Cents., 1021. Dutch Two-and-Half per Cents., 59; ditto Four per Cent. Certificates, 921 ; Equador Bonds, ; Peruvian Five per Cents., 1149, 90/, 1. Portuguese Four per Cents., 321. Sardinian Five per Cents., 821; ditto Scrip, 21, dis. Spanish Three per Cents., 371, 364. The gold news from Australia received at the Je rusalem Coffee-house was the prominent topic of con versation. There can now be no doubt that gold has been largely found in one creek in Bathurst county, and it will become anxious speculation whether the whole of the affluents of tho Murray do not afford the same resources. Adventure will take a new direction, and instead of branches of the Murray being sought for water and pasture, they will be anxiously explored fur gold deposits. Thus there can be no doubt the whole of the western flank of the great mountain range which marks the eastern side of the Australian continent will be explored, and if gold should be found generally, Australia will surpass California as much as the vast basin of the Murray surpasses that of the San Fran cisco river, and Adelaide will as a port surpass the rising metropolis of the western shores of the Pacific. What will be the effect on industry in Australia it is difficult to forctel. The general opinion of mer chants here is unfavourable. They believe that the wages of labour will be enhanced, and the great wool and tallow trades of Australia fail in the midst of their sudden development. No one doubts that a large population will be drawn to the south-east of Australia. We are inclined to augur favourably on this ground. If it does no more for Australia, this will be much, because at the present moment the attractions of California are drawing emigrants from Sydney and all the Australian ports, while with a great influx of populatian into New South Wales, the majority of the new arrivals after a short spell at the gold diggings will be glad enough to take refuge from Such severe toil in the more settled employments of the grazing districts. The market for foreign exchanges exhibited again an upward tendency, and bills on France and Hol land in particular were negotiated at somewhat higher quotations. Short l'aris was drawn at 25.121 to 15; ditto, three months, at 25.271 to 321. Amsterdam was again very difficult of sale, and buyers insisted on higher rates, which were granted by sellers, and the exchange touched in some in stances 12 florins, or par. Hamburg was at first in demand, and several negotiations took p'ace at 13.9, but in consequence of paper preponderating, it left off 13.91 to U. There was little money for bills on Italy, and the quotations are a shade higher. Spain remained unaltered, but rather in demand, particu larly Madrid, which ruled as high as 491 to 30. Portugal was likewise iu favour of sellers, there being some request for Lisbon. Vienna was a little lower ; it was done at 11.50 to 34, and Trieste at 11.52 to N.

Anot sos, chairman of the Preston Court of Quarter Sesaions, pr. sided. The report stated that the accounts of the last half-year had been printed and circulated among the shareholders.

There were some public sales of about 1,500 bans of East India woul on Wednesday evening, at the Hall of Commerce. The attendance of buyers was larger and the biddings more spirited than was expected; but prices were nut quite equal to the July sales, and it was not exp. tied they would be, as this was an ex periment by the importers of selling these low descriptions of blanket wools between the regular sides of colonial wools. There is very little doing in German and Odessa wool by private contract, and no alteration in prices. There have been several failures in the cloth trade recently, and this generally produces a slight check on the sale ut' the raw material ; but the parties who have lately suspended pay ment have not done so for the first time.

SOUTH-WESTERN, BRIGHTON, AND MID-KENT Jr:vcrtos RAILWAY.--It is stated that a scheme is nnw in progress fur promoting the construction of a railway from the South-Western Railway at Wimbledon to the Brighton Railway at Croydon, and thence to Maidstone. The length of the line is stated to be 36 miles, and the amount of the proposed capital 600,0001. One of the professed objects of the scheme is to enable the South-Western Company to run trains to the terminus at London-bridge, and also to enable the London, Brighton, and South Coast Company to run trains to the Waterloo-bridge terminus of the London and South Western Railway Company. GREAT WESTER:4 RAILWAY.—In order to connect themselves with Liverpool and the north, the Great Western, it is said, contemplate a new line for next ses sion from Wolverhampton, via Shrewsbury, to Chester, thence to Runcorn, and under the Mosey by means of a tunnel. FOUR FIRES (TlllB DAT).—During this morning four fires have occurred in various ports of the metropolis. One fire happened about 3 o'clock, in ono of the newly fitted-up premises for the accommodation of visitors to the Exhibition, situate at No. 31, Bidborough-street, Burton crescent, the property of Mr. Barge. At the time of the outbreak, a number of foreigners were in their beds asleep, and it was with great difficulty that they could be aroused. Several engines quickly attended, but very speedily the whole building was in flames. The fire was net subdued until the premises were burnt out, and the whole of tho furniture and wearing apparel therein consumed. The total loss, it is expected, will exceed 1,0001. Mr. Barge was par tially insured in the Sun Fire-office.
