THE FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT The adjourned inquest on the bodies of the persons killed by the accident at Dixon Fuld, near Manchester, on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, on Friday evening last, was held yesterday, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, at Clifton. Captain Wynn, the !government inspector, arrived during the afternoon. Mr J. P. Cobhett, barrister, attended on behalf of the contractor for the permanent way. Joseph S. Platt, of Chapman-street, Manchester, said— ! was in the list carriage but one of the train to which the accident happened. After we left Bolton we went at a ra ther quick speed, then stopped at Haisban Moor, and then went at the usual si.ecd till we got to Dixon Fold, when I thought the speed increased very much. There was much oscillation off the carriage in which I was; then I felt a sudden jerk, was thrown off my seat, and then I jumped out of the carriage. When the speed in creased I should think it was not less than 9J miles per hour. I have often travelled that way, genera:ly by ex prow train, and always ',shied the part where the acci dent occurred with fear and trepidation, because I always feared we should pass the Clifton Junction before the East Lancashire train came up. The express trains have always gone quick at that point, and I complained some time back of the speed we passed the Caton points at. I don't think the speed was slackened there. I examined ' the line after the accident, and I measured 70 strides from the end of the train to the place where there was the first mark of the train pin; off the line. '1 ha mark began at a joint, and the holt of one of the chains was loose. The two rails which joined here were close together, and seemed secure, but 1 thought the bolt ought not to have been loose. There was an indent on the outside of 20 odd yards, then it broke off suddenly, and the sleepers on the other side began to be broken up. Thomas Copeland and several others gave evidence of a similar nature, and the proceedings had not terminated wheu our to;:•_rt was despatched. VIOLENT HURRICANE AND GREAT LOSS OF LIFE AT CORFU. The correspondent of the Malta Mail, dating Corfu, Feb. 20, writes: During the night of Friday—Saturday, 19th inst., at about half-past 11 o'clock, • fearful hurricane burst upon the country, and has everywhere ravaged it, occasioning the most lamentable misfortunes. The wind blew with such violence that the houses were agitated as if shaken by an earthquake. To the noise of the tempest was added the crashing of the tiles, which fell like hail into the streets, and the windows, violently torn from their hinges, which flew through the air, and fell with loud noise into the street below, or on to the tiles. fiercest housu in tho town fell, and buried in their ruins the unhappy inhabitants. Last evening five people have been reckoned among the dead, en town, and • considerable number of wounded. Two OHM houses of the 49th regiment have been thrown down in the Citadel ; luckily all had time to save them retiree, and there is no misfortune to deplore. But the news coming in at every moment from the interior of the island is more and mere alarming. One village is spoken of as en tirely destroyed; the number of deaths known in the envi rons amounts to 29, some even speak of 80. All the ships at anchor in port have more or less suffered ; several have been wrecked. Several Louses have lost portions of their walla, and others have been entirely unroofed. Upwards of one hundred trees on the Esplanade have been uprooted and encumber the walk with their trunks and branches. A portion of the walls supporting the laud, has been demolished by the waves of the sea. The magni ficent forest of olive trees, which was the pride and wealth of Corfu, is entirely des'aoyed. The country is literally sacked. The few trees which remain standing may be s counted, but it is impossible to reckon the thousands which are torn up and broken to pieces. Never here I wit nessed such • deplorably desolating scene, of whose bonen description is impossible. All the roads are blocked up by trunks of trees—the country no longer has the appearance of a land inhabited—it hes the as pect of a chaotic overthrow. The loss occasioned by the disaster is incalculable. A number of families have been ruined, without shelter, without bread. Public and pri. rate charity must do miracles to relieve the numberless un happy beings, for I do not see how they are to escape the frightful misery which is about to devour the country. The Fairy yacht was on shore with loss of rudder—several merchant ships are dismasted, and three foreigners were blown over, and sunk at their anchors. the trees in the palace garden, and a unicorn, and part of the roof of the palace, the roof of the general's house, and that of the pro testent church have b:eu blown off, and all comiderably damaged.

The neighbourhood of Psickmanaworth and Chor leywood has been considerably excited during the past week, owing to the occurrence of &daring rubbery and at tempted murder of a young female on the high road be tween Chesbam and Chorky-wood. The name of the suf ferer is Anne Simmons, a young woman of exemplary cha racter, obtaining her eirelehood by making straw plait. It was her custom every Saturday to go from Chorley-wood to Cbesitkot for the purpose of disposing of the plait made during the week ; e.nd it was on her return from Chestnut market, on Saturday last, when about midway between the two places, that the brutal attack was made upon her by a miscreant who has Lappily Leen captured, and is now safely lodged in gaol. The poor woman was in the act of passing a lonely portion of the road where the highway is sheltered by the uranches of overhsliging woods un either aide, when a fellow dressed in a billy cock hat and green smock frock rushed out upon her, and without a moment's warning felled Ltr to the ground with a violent blow. The next instant, he pulled out of his pocket a large clasp knife, which ho deliberately opened, and drew across the poor creature's neck near the jugular vein. Toe knife was blunt, and did not cut readily, upon which the monster made a deliberate stab with the point on the other side of the nee k, inflicting a wound of considera ble depth, from which the blood flowed freely. The fellow then tore off the poor woman's pockets, and panning him self of her purse, containing IN. 7d., retreated into the wood, leaving his victim insensible in the road. Simmons presently recovered sufficiently to walk a short .listai.ce, and make known the particulars of the attack upon her at the Roo. C. C. Cavendish's residence, lAtimen, from whence several pergola hastened in the direction Fainted out, and endeavuured to track the man. In this they were unsuccessful, but a correct description of the fellow having been obtained, the local police at Chesham on Weclue•day last a;Trehanded on suspicion a man of bad charoctcr, named Henry A. ems, and on Thursday he was taken over to Chorhi-wood, the purpose of enabling Simmons to j•adge of his idsn;ity. The poor creuture wax scarcely able to look at the priaonor, but she at once identified him us the man who had attacked her. He was at once taken befine Ile. Fuller, a local magistrate, and committed for trial to Aylesbury Gaol. TitE LerssT.—The Oriental Company's steam packet Cay of tondo!), Captain John Cargill, arrived at Southampton y:sterday morning.

There has not been so much business in British mining stocks to-day as has been observed for some time past, but otherwise the market is without fea ture.

The gold mining shares were considerably higher in the morning, and though subsequently clucked by sales, yet closed at an improvement on yester day's rates. The chief advance was in British Aus tralian, which rose to 13-16 to 15-16 prem., on largo purchases of an influential character. Satisfaction is expressed at the announcement from the directors to the effect that they have just concluded a very favour able arrangement for the lease of a grant iti Braid wood of 2,500 acres of land, including Bell's Creek, Bell's Paddock, and other auriferous tracts, which have been referred to in the local journal , . Another party of men sailed in the Antelope steamer from Liverpcol on the Bth inst. Peel Itivcr shares rose to 81 to 1, but declined on a supply to 7} to 1, and left oft' 7„ to 4.. THIS DAY.—Two o'CLocic, The gold mining shams are firm to-day, with a quiet business, and little or no change in prices. Cobre shares hare been pumhawl st 4C.

Oa the constable on duty in the neighbourhood hastening to the house, No. 4, Apple-yard, Seward-street, he found a male infant, 14 months' old, bleeding from a wound in the throat, and lying in tho arms of one of the lodgers, who stated that the mother hod a few minutes previously hroutrht it to her in that state, saying :hat hr heart had feiiad her in the attempt to take ire life. A .able-knife stained with blood was found in her apart ment, which exhibited the strongest indications of extreme wretchedness. The child was taken to a surgeon'a in the Ooseiell-i,trect-road, who ordered its immediate removal to the hotpi. if, mid on taking the woman to the station-house, the anntitted having intended to murder her infant. She gave her name Elie , heth Higgins, 39 years of age, stating that the was r, pirated from her husband, who had the care of her °the r children, and that in consequence of istrrs, sod nut !melee tasted food for five days past, she bad on her return .me alter • fruitier' endeavour to obtain a few halfpence, revolved on killing her bay and they titi•ltl7, her owe life, but upon steitig ttio blood iF•OC from tke w. end ensued, and she wee ULLIble to come!ete le e pur pose.

The improving tendency in the stock market, to which we drew attention yesterday, acquired in creased strength to-day. The main feature of the day was an advance in Console to above par for ac count, the market closing at the advance with a strong appearance. The conclusion of the Cense! settlement shows continued absorption of stock by the public of late, against sales partly speculative and partly real, induced by the higher value of money out of doors. More confidence is now observable, the advice, from Australia showing that a more steady supply of gold may be expected from that quarter, by which any renewed drain to the Con tinent will be met. The pressure for money out of doors has abated during the last few days, the effect of the late gold arrivals being now more sensibly felt, as of course when a million of gold is offered for purchase to the Bank, a mil lion of notes is taken from that department of the institution. Oo the whole, there appears to be an impression that the period of pressure has been passed over, and that the tendencyof the money market us now in the direction of greater ease, provided we do not have any immoderate influx of foreign loan or other projects drawing largely on the market. There is uo idea, however, in view of the activity of'. trade, and the number of new schemes, that capital ists will have any difficulty in keeping the rates of money at their present level fur the pre sent. The falling off in the shipments of coin to Australia, is another point that excites satisfac tion. In the railway market, we have the feature of the absence of any rise corresponding with the up ward movement in the funds. l'riees are generally well supported, but, so far, there appears to be an in disposition to "go for the rise." A few speculative purchases were made in the morning for next ac count, but were quickly met by a supply, althoutth a limited one, of real stock ; still the advance in Con sols gives strength to this market, and stock, though better supplied, is not plentiful. The public aro ope rating very little just now in railway shares, the pre sent level of prices checking speculation, and the ten dencyof Itonofide operatious appearing toincline to sales on any decided rise. Guaranteed stocks are more offered, and first class debentures can be bought to pay higher rates than were obtainable a few months back. The Caledonian Railway report is issued, and shows a dividend at the rate of 21 per cent, per annum. The shares this evening were a trifle flatter on its issue. The South Eastern dividend is announced at Ile. for the half-year, with, it is re- I ported, a surplus of 1,7001. COTIROIB were very firm, and finally left off at 99„ to 100 for money, and 100 1-16 toy for the 13th of April. The Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents experi enced& corresponding improvement, reaching 1033. The official report includes : Tame per Cent Consols, for money, 993, 100 ; ditto, for account, 99„, 100, 3.

The market for Exchequer-bills also maintains a firmer appearance, especially for the new issue, which now seems to have a better chance of floating at a small premium, with the powerful support afforded, and ready at hand. The March bills arc quoted 10s. to 14s. prem., nod the June, Bs. to 12s. prem. ludia Bonds were done at 435. prom. Business in the foreign stock market was not cha racterised by any violent fluquation. Spanish Bonds were rather flatter, the Deterred closing 21 to 1, and the Certificates 73- to 1 per cent. Mexican Bonds were just a shade worse, at 233 to 1. Turkish Scrip, on the other hand, was better at 2 to 21 prem. The Now Sardinian Three per Cent. loan, to ba is sued at 69, is quoted 13 to 2 prem. Greek Bonds were not quite so good as yesterday. Generally the European and other dividend paying . stocks are firm. The list of the day's sales is annexed.

The amount of gola on board tlds vessel was incorrectly stated in some of the telegraphic despatches received this afterri.iou at 300,000 ounces. The Panama has also arrived at Portsmouth from Hobart Town, which port she left on the 4th Nor. The quantity of gold on board this vessel is estimated at about 30,000 oz. A company has been formed under the title of the Royal Australian Mint Association, for the establish ment of a mint, with local branches, in Australia, for assaying and stamping, or coining the gold produced in that colony. The undertaking appears to be pro jected mainly on the readiness now shown by the imperial government to sanction the establishment of Australian mints. Mr. Wilson announced the other evening in the House of Commons that" government would he ready, free of all charge to the home go vernment, and with proper regelations fur securing the purity and weight of the coin, to grant the esta blishment of mints wherever they were demanded." We understand, however, that government do not propose allowing the Australian mints to coin sovereigns, but only local coils or tokens, a restriction of which it is not easy to perceive the wisdom. It may be very fairly asked, why should not sovereigns be coined in Australia, under identi cal arrangements with those adopted at the Mist Lore? The requirements et trade throughout that great dependency of the British crown, and, indeed, in many other parte of the southern hemisphere, would thus be satisfied, and the drain upon our home stock of coin, a drain which the London Mint is notoriously unable to meta, would be dune away with. Under the present system the colouists suffer considerable loss, in the way of expenses and loss of interest, so that there can he no doubt they will give every encouragement to the establishment of mints; indeed, they have already forwarded petitions in this sense. The capital of the propostd association is fixed at one million sterling, in 201. shares, but only 2s. per share is to be raised until the act of incor poratiln shall have been obtained. With the exception of the Scottish Australian, the shares r I the Australian banks were firmer to-day. Australian Agricultutal were good, commanding 112 to 117, and South Australian Land Shares rose 2/. The shares of the tw ) Scottish Land Companies also realiscd rather improved prices. Vuu Diemen's Land shares appear streugtheucd in character by yester day's meeting, though with little change iu the prtee, which closed ltd to 20.

The large increase in the stork of the precious metals is in accordance with our anticipation, and is entirely owing to the influx of Australian geld into the Batik, whilst at the same time the demand for export experienced a sensible abatement. The next and succeeding returns will probably show a further increase in this item. The Increase in the private securities is considerable, and attests the activity of the demand fur money in the week in question, which embraced the 4th of the mouth. The increase in the reserve is satisfactory, and mainly due to the influx of gold. In the market for foreign exchanges to-day, short bills on Paris were rather lower, being done a s l ow OS 23.021, whilst the three months' quotation on that espital is the same as last post. On; Hamburg there were bills over at 13.71, after being done up to 13.8, with but few takers. Vienna and Trieste were some what lower, Vienna being &se at 11.2 to 3. The rates on Amsterdam, Frankfort, Italy, and other markets, show no variation worthy of notice. THIS DAY.—Two o'CLocK. Business in the English funds to-day has been ex tremely restricted, but the market, nevertheless, con tinues its upward movement, and Consols arc now quoted 100 to I for money, and 100,;- to for April.
