The English railway market to7-iiiivriu7ge --- neVaily higher, but chiefly owing to the strengthening in fluence sympathetically exercised by the rise in the funds, actual business in this department continuing very restricted. The heavier stocks have all shown strength, especially Lancashire and Yorkshire, which rose 11. per cent.; of the lighter shares, Caledo nians, Great Northern, Berwick, and North British were also very good.* i 4 4 3 C 84 _II pi hioNGAV EVENING. The English stock market to-day experienced a rise of fully 1 per cent., mainly owing to an active demand for stock for the settlement of the monthly account now in progress, and closed with a firm appearance at the best point of the day. The fur ther progress of the settlement has shown a more extensive outstanding speculation for the fall than bad been expected, and the " contango" on Consols, after standing in the morning at barely 1-16, entirely passed off in the afternoon, the quotation finally closing the same for money and for the January account; in fact, at the extreme close of the market the dealers were " borrowers" of stock, and even in The directors of the Grand Trunk Railway Com pany of Canada have just made a mill 01 2/. 10s. per share on the A series, and of 10 per cent. on each class of the debentures, payable on the 6th Feb. Interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum is to be charged on calls iu arrear. Shareholders also have have the power of paying up their shares in full, and receiving interest at the rate of 6 per cent, per , annum.

There was an extraordinary demand to-day for the shares of the Australian Agricultural Company, which wee 71. to 81. per share, on reports of the dis covery of quicksilver on this company's property. The price opened 41 to 42, touched 49, " buyers," and closed at 4 o'clock 47 to 49. Considering the rapidity of the day's advance, these shares were well supported to the close. l'eel River shares were better, in sympathy, closing I to 14 prem., and other Australian Land shares showed firmness. Bank shares were steady, with an iucreased business. Crystal Palace shares closed steady, at 1,1 to 2 prem. Peninsular and Oriental Steam shares have been dealt in at 721; Royal Mail Steam at 62 to 6.1; Portland Iron at par; and Submarine Telegraph at par. The subjoined calculations show the rate per cent. per annum yielded by our government stocks at present prices. To render the results strictly accu rate, the proportion of interest which may have ac crued since last dividend period should in each case be taken into account.

In these days of building societies, agricultural improvements, and sanitary reform, there can be scarcely say subject more praedeally interesting than the improve ment of brick and tUe making, and accordingly it has, for two or three years, a considerable share of public attention. At the =agricultural shows, at meetings of farmers' clu and more especially at the Great Eshibi- Pon, much pramiasmM has been given to new processes of manufacture, mad meelsinee for making hollow bricks and improved tiles k's 1111 Wig Bess extensively used. Of DOM of the seders =Abu kit making hollow bricks and tiles the report of the jurors ef the Exhibition spoke in approving terms ; but as Imperils solid brick-making, the ease was different. In fast. the machines constructed for that purpose were natty and cumbrous A machine has been recently invented' and patented by Mr. Clayton, which undertakes to supply the confessed deficiency, and to bring solid bricks within the range of e&derit machine power. In a private view which was given yes terday, Mr. Clayton afforded to a large party of visitors an opportunity of observing the action and capabilities of his invention. It has already obtained the medal el the Great hapoaition of Industry at Amsterdam. The isimmivemeat eon-lets in the construction of moulding Masa se dies, having rotating sides formed by vertical rollers, imbed el the tiled sides used heretofore, the fallen real*/ while the clay is delivered through the die, end teas ed Edneing sad preserving a sharpness and neatams is4he of the brickwhich had previously bees band in the manufacture of bricks through dies. TIM machine pegs or prepares the clay and maims the brisk' at one and the same time. One of the isedilmg /Warn observed is a continuous delivery. The aides of the blades as or dinarily set can produce only ea fatermittent delivery ; but in this case there is an err a' t of blades by which the clay is subjceted Is a sa timnsas lateral threat, effected on either Bide of the ills themisli the moulding online. The machine seen in epeeeden ysMaeday was worked by one horse, a man to feed the mackfsy and two boys to clear off the bricks at the sides. Four se lye revolutions were per formed in a minute, and in that time sufficient clay was pen out to make 25 bricks. It should be added that the clay, after timing out hnizontally in a solid oblong mese, is Binh great precision rut up into bricks of the required dimensions by means of equi-distant wires placed on one side, and worked so as to divide the whole at one stroke. A comparison of the productive powers of this machine with those of hand-moulding is of course important; but it cannot be very easily made, at least in a positive manner, cosine to the fact that the daily performances of hand•moulden appear to vary considerably. Something like an approximation, however, may be arrived at. In the London district, which in brickmaking, as in so many other processes. sonars to take the lead, a pallet moulder will turn out 5,000 bricks in a day, in doing which he requires the assistance of a clot moulder and five other hands, and also that of a hone. In the country districts, where the clot moulder is dispensed with, 3,000 is the average. These, restil•r, it should be ',nerved, are attained in a day,which is far from being a fecory one ; the brickmaken commencing in the best season at four or tin in the morning, and working oa as long as the day holds out. Assuming 25 a minute as the average production of the machine, the multiplication of that number by 80, and r f the product eosin by 60, will gave 15,000 in ten hours ; but from this will probably have to he deducted two or three thousand for unavoidable stop pages, leaving, perhaps, a general average of 12,000 a day. Such is the inventor's estimate. The cost of a machine of one-hone power is stated to be about 1001. The inspection yesterday was not confiried to the solid brickmaking machines ; the processes of hollow brick and of tile making being each sahibited. THE WE.T INDIA AND MEXICAN MAILS were leaded at Falmouth on Saturday morning. In consequence ethers being no railway between Falmouth and Plymouth, the mails did not reach London any quicker than if they had been taken onto Southampton. SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY.—A committee of shareholders has been formed at Liverpool in order to re ceive suggestions as to the filling up of the vacancies which will be caused by the retirement by rotation of three mem bers of the board at the n•-at g I meeting. Ai CIDENT ON HOLBORN-HlLL—Yesterday morn ing. shortly before twelve o'clock, an accident occurred which it is feared will prove fatal to a gentleman named Mr. John Grant, apparently between sixty and seventy years of age, and re , iding near St James's Church, Clerk enwell-green It appears that Mr. Grant was about to cross the road opposite Ely-place, and after he had stepped from the kerto.stone into the roadway he turned roood to speak to a lady with whom he had just parted. At that moment a Hansom's cob was coming at a slow pace towards St. Andrew's Church, snd the unfortunate gentleman, turning suddenly round, came in contact with the horse. He was knocked down, and the horse's bind feet several times struck him on the head, Il e was picked up bleeding profusely and almoet insensible, and was taken to St. Bar tholomew's Hospital, where every attention was paid to him. but he still lies in a very precarious condition. EXTE.NoIt E PLUE NOttliEEY.—During the night of Saturday a burglarious entrance was etteved into the house of Mr. W. S. Wyndowe, No. 6, St. George's-road, Ecriestoo-square, Pimlico, and plate, jewellery, and other property to a very considerable amount was carried off. (hew: the Bei Wawa son.) The sentence of the law was duly executed on Thomas Connor yesterday, within the gaol-yard. At an early hour persons began to assemble in the vicinity of the gaol, and by noon, the hour of the execution, thousands were congregated on every available prominent position, embracing both sexes, and every age, hue, and colour. The scaffold was erected in the northern part of the gaol yarit, is the usual forte, most of the timbers being those lades gaseions similar occasions. The scaffold was 27 feet S MAN 1141 b, with 9 feet by 8 feet, 18 feet above the r asa The fall of the rope was two.and-athalf feet. The rope was tried duriag the week, and bore a half ton in weight, to insure that no mishap should occur through any weakness or flaw. It was manufactured especially for the marpo“. At 10 o'clock persons who had received tickets of admission to the gaol yard were admitted, and were nearly IMO in number. At 20 minutes past 10 o'clock, John Hayes, Esq., high sheriff, and hie deputies, proceeded to the cell rf the convict, who was duly transferred to his custody by Mr. Myers, the warden. He appeared very ads, with very slight signs of trepidation about him. On • table in his cell stood • small cross, and • bouquet of blooming roam placed there that morning. The prisoner said but little, and on the Rev. Father Hickey speaking to him words of consolation and hope, he did not shed a tear— s= so with others, Mr. Foley, his spiritual adviser, weeping freely. Connor bore the ordeal with great nerve. At 25 mi mamm le 11 o'clock, the sheriff and his deputies proceeded to *se the white shroud of muslin on the prisoner, bat he At • quarter past eleven o'clock Connor engaged in de- s t . vest prayer with Messrs. Foley and Hickey. At half-put m eleven the officen proceeded to bind his mos and hands preparatory to leaving the cell for the scaffold. At • lel quarter to twelve o'clock the whits cap was placed on his 11, bead, and the sheriff and his officers, clergymen, members s e of the press, and physicians, who alone were admitted to et. bb cell, started for the scaffold, the warden and his depts• at. ties, together with others who had attended on him, having bid him farewell. On the way to the scaffold the .„•• ministers chanted an appropriate psalm, the crowd in the yard standing uncovered as they passed through, • lane being formed by the police. At ten minutes to twelve IS o'clock they arrived at the scaffold, and without halting, le the prisoner, together with the clergy, sheriff, and two of le his deputies, and warden, proceeded at ones on the plat- V *, form. Coonor walked up with a great degree of firmness, st holding kis head down, his eyes fired on his crucifix, as he R. had done from the time be bad left the cell. tt The sheriff and hie assistants having fixed the rope on his If seek, a short prayer was offered by the elergy, and the last e absolution given. At five minutes of 12 o'clock the cap ' was pulled over his eyes, and all having left the scaffold, the trigger was touched and the trap fell. Previous to haelag the platform, at the request of the Rev. Mr. Hickey, the fall of the rope had been increased from 2i feet to near 6 feet, and the weight of the body coming on it at that distance (Connor weighing over 1801bs.), the rope broke in twain and he fell to the ground. A uninnal thrill of horror ran through the crowd within the enclaare —outside it was greeted with shouts and clapping of hands, and, as he soak ism their view, the multitude, as if by mmines emus% mail their way towards the gate of the *beesemsething from the inside. About Lit " i .f the "artlliwi left theirs:shoe for their homes. The rope on his meek which was suffocating him was in stantly cut, and be soca revived, being very little injured, se bones being broken, and only • few alight bruises per asplible. A small red rirg, caused by the rope, the akin Mfsp abrased in very few places, was to be seen around his meek. His first exclamation was: " Well, gentlemen, 1 em Innocent of murder in the first degree !" The excite ment occasioned by the mishap was soon allayed, and, water being brought, his face was bathed in it by Mr. Foley, and he lay down under the scaffold, pleading to his God for mercy. Sheriff Hayes immediately despatched the following note to G Lowe, who was reported to be within • short distance, at the residence of • relative : "To his Excellency Governor Lowe :—Dear Sir—l have met with an accident in the execution of Thomas Connor, the rope having broke, and he declares his innocence of 'outside in the tint degree. Yours very respectfully, " Joux HATES, Sheriff. " Baltimore, Aug. 6, 1853." Mr. Jeffers is the beater of this note to your Excel lency. Connor, in the meantime, continued his supplications to hie Maker for mercy—to take him out of this world; Messrs. Foley and Hickey did what they could to comfort him. He finally get himself in quite a nervous emotion, crying loudly, asseverating that he bad seen his God—got • glimpse of hie Saviour, and he wished to go on the scaf fold again to be hung, Minder that he might have the same =Mos over—that his Saviour was just is the act of catching him in his arms, sad was going to present him to his Father. He remarked, " I have been a very bad boy, and I du not want any boy to take pattern by me," and repeated several time that he was not guilty of murder in the first degree—he killed the man, but did sot intend to do it. The journeyman carpenters who bad put up the scaffold refused to Dome forward and rep's*. the trap again, and their employer, assisted by the sheriff's officers, put it in proper order, re-rifting the same rope over the cross beam, which caused great apprehension that it would again break. Mr. M. Jeffers, who bad been despatched with the note to Governor Lowe, returned and reported that his excel lency had gone eat of town during the morning. Them was no chance, therefore, for a farther reprieve. At half past 12 o'clock, the scaffold being sp An prepared, the prisoner was raised on his feet an d started for the platform, accompanied by Rev. Mr. Foley, the sheriff, and assistants. Connor appeared extremely anxious to die, and actually walked up the steps a-head of the others with quite a rapid stride. The rope was men re-adjusted, all left the platform, and at Meaty-sena minutes to one o'clock the trigger was again palled, the trap fell, and the poor wretch hung suspended in the air. The fall this time was made only about twenty inches, and it proved amply sufficient for the purpose. He struggled very little, and in less than five minutes all, save a slight muscular motion, had ceased. At two misotes te 11111111 the body, having hong twenty five minutes, was lowered down and examined by Dr. E. P. Duvall, the Oriel* of the gaol, Dr. E. C. Thomas, Dr. Charles A. Prick sad Dr. C. A. lass, who were in at tendance, and lib proasuased to be extinct. The body was Mos pima is the coffin and removed to a room of the building. _wbere Dr. Duvall and others made an examination and ha that the neck was not dislocated, and that death bail resulted from suffocation. His mother took charge of the body last smoke end had it privately interred.

STATISTICS OF CATIIEDRALS.—A German magaz ine makes the following arrangement of the largest eds in the world. The majestic cathedral of Speyer is the greatest monument of the Romanesque or so-called Byzantine s'yle, in Germany—in fine, the largest of all completed German churches; larger than the cathedrals of Lam and Strasburg, and therefore still larger than the buildings of ldavence, and St. Stephen of Vienna, and the cathedral of Speyer is only surpassed by the Dons of Cologne. Considering the churches out of Germany, the largest throughout the world are—St. Peter's, at Rome ; the Dons of Milan ; St. Paul's, at Rome ; St. Sophia's, at Constantinople ; the Cathedral, at Florence, and St. Paul's, in London. All these churches, enumerated here according to their size, are larger than Cologne Cathedral, even in its completion. St. Peter's, at Rome, occupies an area three times that of the Cologne Dom; of similar site with the Speyer Cathedral is that of Anvers, and only next to that is Notre Dame, of Paris.— The Bui/der LONDON-BRIDGE. —The want of accommodation for the increased carriage traffic has become a question of great interest, and many schemes of more or less magnitude have appeared, purposing to remedy the evil, of which so many feel the annoyance. Nowhere do we find this want of room more evident than on London bridge, and I beg to submit the following plan for its amelioration. I propose to do away with the footpaths on each side of the bridge, and give the entire width to carriages. And for foot passengers I purpose to construct, over and above the present bridge, a second platform, constructed of iron or wood, and sup ported on iron pillars of a height to allow the highest loaded waggons to pass under it. This upper bridge, commencing at where now stands the second lamp, I would ascend to by a long inclined pathway on each side.—Correspoodext of the Builder. 100 ft S Do. II 17 !

DEARTH AND Dlsonnza.—On Monday last (says Galignani) some carpenters who were at work at a place iu Brittany, called La Guerche, attempted to seize on a cart laden with wheat, which was proceeding to Forger's. The gendarmes of the neighbourhood hearing of what was going on, hastened to the place, and at their approach the rioters took to flight. One man was arrested.—A few days bark a dealer bought some wheat from a farmer residing at Clincbamp (Haute-Msrne). The corn was already placed on a cart, when the women of the neighbourhood gathered round the spot, and threatened to burn the corn rather than allow it to be carried away. In the end the bags of wheat were again depa..ited in the farmer's barn. One of the wheels of the cart was forced off and hidden, and has not since been found. A judicial investigation has been com mented. MLTROFOLITAN COMMISSION OF SEWERS.—The Commirsionen propose to construct a large pumping station at Deptford, and to facilitate the drainage of the London area within their jurisdiction on the south side of the river, by means of an intercepting main sewer. DEMERARA RAlMAY.—Traffic for the fortnight ending Oct. 22, 1853-7331. Os. ad. Corresponding period 1 last year, 6751. 14s. Od. some cases disposed to pay 1-16 per cent. " backwardation ' for the loan of it. Political rumours of a more favourable character were also in circulation, end, though unsubstantiated, tended to assist the upward tendency ; but the chief cause of the rise evidently consists in the altered position of the account. The market derives addi tional support from the consideration that, on Wed nesday, Consols will be quoted ex the half-year's dividend, thus apparently making the price 11 per cent. cheaper. 'lke firmness of the Paris Bourse is also referred to as a favourable feature; but it is believed in Paris and elsewhere that the bourse is greatly supported by the operations of bankers and others under official countenance, in order to prepare it for the introduction of a French loan, of which the government is understood to be in need. Console opened 953 to 3, touched 954, receded to 953 to 1, and were quoted at the official close 95 1 to 3, for money and to-morrow's settling. At 4 o'clock I there was a further advance to 95 to 3, and after that hour to 953 to F for January, and 951, just 1 " sellers" for money. The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 95, 954, 3,3, 3, 3 • ditto, for account, 95 953, 3. Three per Cent. Reduced , 94, 943, 3. Three-aud- I a-Quarter per Cents., 953, 963. Long Annuities , 1860, 51,5 546. India Stock, 251. South Sea Stock, 113. Back Stock, 219, 218. Exchequer Bills remain quoted 3s. to 61. prem., and India Bonds par to 3s. prem. In the foreign stock market business was charac terised by . a slight increase of activity, but wee yet far from Important. The chief movement was in Mexican, which touched 253. Spanish was well supported. Portuguese was better, the accounts received from that country, instead f reporting an insurrection, speaking of a more settled state of political feeling. At 4 o'clock Mexican Bonds were quoted 23 to 3 ex div. Peruvian Three per Cents., 49 to 51; ditto, Four-and-a-Half per I Cents., 70 to 72. Granada Deferred, 73 to 8; ditto, Active, 19 to 21.

Spanish Old Three per Cents„ 461, 46, 461 ; ditto, New Deferred Three per Cents., 224 ; the Committee's Certifi cates, 52 per cent. Venezuela Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 313. Money to-day was rather easier. We hear of prime bills being discounted, in some instances, a shade below the Bank of England 'minimum : but generally, it would appear that accommodation has not been obtainable on good paper under five per cent. The great discount establish ments in Lombard-street found Saturday (when the heavy mass of bills falling due on the 4th had to be met), the heaviest day known for years, the commercial requirements being of an extraordi eerily extensive character. At the same time it was generally observed, that on no previous occasion have bills been so well met. By the courtesy of the Secretary to the Royal Mail Steam Navigation Company we are informed that the specie brought in by the Orinoco, from the West Indies and Mexico, amounted to 2.033,416 dole. or 406,7001. sterling (exclusive of 8,723 dole. in plata pine) ; of which 1,663,723 dole. were in dollars; 127,633 dole. in bar silver, and only 24'2,060 dole., or 48,4001., in gold. This silver, of course, will merely pees through the London market. The subjoined is of interest to holders of Mexican Bonds: "The committee of Mexican bondholders have received advice, from Mr. Falconnet, dated Mexico, Ist November, stating that he will not be able to leave that capital till about the middle of November. He had nothing of much importance to communi cate. From the accounts of the custom-house of Vera Cruz for the twelve months ending 31st August last, it appears that during that time not less than I 230,658 dole. had been alienated from the amount collected in that port for account of the foreign debt ; and in Mazatlan 53,226.78 dole. had been similarly disposed of. The government had received a sum of 300,000 deli. for prolonging the term of the Anglo- Mexican Mint Company for 10 years, but that money had been immediately forwarded to Europe to buy arms. The government had officially denied any intention to resort to additional taxation, which it was thought they could not do without, unless they received some large amount from the United States for the territory in dispute, and for the abrogation of the 11th article of the last treaty of peace between the two republics. Until Messrs. Jecker, Tone, and Co.'s advance of 250,000 dole. is repaid, the remit tances now again go to Messrs. Baring, Brothers, and Co. They appear to be by this packet from Vera Cruz 66,000 dole., and from Tampico, 12 840.33 dole., besides 10,000 dole. which have been shipped from Mazatlan. The import duties in Vera Cruz for October were estimated at 276,600 dole., exclusive of three cargoes which had not been eaten- lated yet." The supply of home-grown corn at market to-day was rather small, but the foreign arrivals during the last week have been to a fair extent. Wheat to-day sold slowly off the stands at Is. to 2s. per qr. below the rates of last Monday. The top-price of town made flour was fixed ss. per sack lower. American flour ruled le. per barrel cheaper. Importers of floating cargoes of grain, influenced by the improved tone of the Belgian and French advice., and by some orders to buy on continental account, showed little disposition to accept lower prices. Several sales of cargoes on their passage, however, were reported. The tallow market showed a decline of Is. to-day, closing at 56e. 6d. for Russian, for delivery in January to March. At the half-yearly meeting of the proprietary of the Bank of Australasia, held to-day, a highly satis factory statement was presented by the directors. Owing to the satisfactory progress and continued increase in the general business of the bank, the directors express a conviction that the profits during the year of account ending in October last will exceed those of the preceding year. They hope that after providing for the payment upon the shares for the ensuing year, at the present rate of 15 per cent. per annum, the accounts to be submitted in June next will show they have been enabled to sepa rate and set apart, as a guarantee fund, the sum of ' 200,0001., to be reserved as a protection to the capital, the interest thereof being applicable to dividends. This important object being accomplished, a larger proportion of the profits, as they may from time to time be realised, will then be available for future division. A special general meeting of the Eastern Counties ' Railway Company is called for the 19th inst., to consider of and sanction an amalgamation of the Norfolk Railway Company and the Eastern Union Railway Company with the Eastern Counties Rail- The English stock market to-day has been marked by considerable excitement, owing to the statement of the union ;of England, France, Austria, and Prussia on the Eastern question, and of a renewed combined attempt to bring about an ar rangement between Turkey and Russia. Owing to the panic this created amongst the speculators for the fall whilst the settling is in full progress, a further rise of 1 per cent. was for a short time attained, but this has not been maintained, and the present range is only about 1 per cent. better than the closing rates of yesterday. A " backwardation " of 1 and even ; per cent. has been paid on Consols. Console have touched 961 for money, and are now quoted 961 toy for cash, and 961 to for the 16th January. The Three per Cents. Reduced have been dealt in at 951 to I. 51; the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 964 to 97 1; Bank Stock, 218; Exchequer Bills, 6a. to 7s. prem. Foreign stocks are also better, but without an material advance. Mexican is 251 to 2, and Spanish Deferred, 221 to 1. Granada Deferred Bonds have been dealt in at 8 to 81; Peruvian Four-and-a- Half per Cents, 701 to 72 ; ditto Three per Cents., 50 to 501; Portuguese Four per Cents., 42 to 421; Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 981 to 1; Sar dinian, 891 to 90 ex. div.; Spanish Old Three per Cents., 461; Dutch Four per Cents., 941. MINES - MONDAY EVENING. There has been a fair amount of business in the market for British mining stock.
