ItittlittS6 ItAILI'CAV Tft TN.—A money pored, vain.- between Wt. and OH!., o o adroitly stolen. on Wednes day last, from a train on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lin. toinshire Railway. It was the passenger-train which starts from Rail at 6 a.m. On its arrival at Itetford two gentleman-like men, very stylishly dressed, stepped up to the guard and begged that he would allow them to continue their journey in bis van iii.tead of a carriage. so that they might enjoy a better view of the country. The guard's van is placed at the rear of the train, and being qua abaft its occupants have an uninterrupted prospect. The guard told them that he dared not admit them, es it was agaiust the rules. When the train stopped at Worksop station, eight niiin further west, the two passengers renewed their appli cation to the guard, and most probably resorted to the do- guence of a dourer, for the guard this time granted their i request. Upon admitting them to his van, however, he told them they must get out before reaching the Sheffieldstation, OT he d.ould get into trouble. They readily promised com pliance, and kept their word. At tVoodhouse junction a few mile. east of Sheffield, they bade the guard a cheerful s' Good morning," and entered a pressenger.carriage. At 'Linda .•.er the guard missed a parcel containing money to the amount of more than 501. It had been intrusted to him at the other end of the line for delivery to the railway com pany's cashier at Manchester, and was the proceeds of sake of coat. Ile suspected his travelling companions, bat all he could tell of their whereabouts was that he last saw eat of the twain step out of • carriage at Woodhead, between libstihiel and Manchester, but whether or not ho maned Dis seat he dad not know. The two strangers wore numer ous showy rings on their fingers, and were in all tepeeta very exiansively dressed. Money parcels going beyond Shiffirld lac loose in the guard's via, and as a elution to the guard the anoint matins/4 is marked in bold characters en the wrapper. This writing is also useful in directing the hagers of a thief to the most valuable parcel. The mann.' suspended the guard from duty. It is stated that he has been a long time in the company's service, and that ap to the time of this occurrence km character for honesty was unimpnehed. • ----- THE COTNCIL GENERAL OF GENOA has just con tributed 13,000 f. towards the erection of the monument to Columbus, which is to be erected is that city.

The tender of Messrs. lierninsrway and Pearson for the formation of these docks has been formally accepted by the trustees of the Mar quis of Bute. The contract will involve an outlay of 250,0001. or 300,0001. That sum will be laid out in forming the docks alone, as they are to be extremely capacious, and replete with conveniences forcarrying on trade upon a scale of the greatest magnitude, and the entrance gates wide enough to admit steamers of the largest class ; but, in addi tion to that expenditure, money will be required for ex tending, railroad aceommedation to the docks, for shipping stages, wharfs, dwelling houses, itc., Rte. ; altogether it is supposed that about half a million sterling will be needed. It is said that the works arc to be commenced in February, and that probably the youthful Marquis of Bute will turn the first 1104.-swansea !tepid. DORCIIE4TER AND EXETER RAILWAT.—At a meet ing of the directors of the Southampton Chamber of Com merce, held yesterday, the following resolution was unanimously adopted : ' That, in the opinion of this meet ing the proposed extension of the Dorchester Railway to Exeter is of importance to the trade and commerce of Southampton, and calculated to be of great public conve nience, and that the attention of the directors of the South Western Railway be earnestly called to the same, and its f ivour able consideration respectfully solicited." A public meeting has also been called by the Mayor of South ampton, on the 15th inst., to devise measures to secure the extension of the Dorchester Railway to Exeter, and to oppose the formation of the Direct London and Exeter FATAL ACCIDENT AT MESSRa. ETRE AND Seen- TlSWOUlleB.—Testerday an inquest was taken by Mr. Baker, at the Red Cow, Dagen, on view of the body of John Patel, aged 31, in the service of Messrs. Eyre and Spottiswoode, the Queen's printers, Shaeklewcll. It was the employment of the deceased to attend to a printing machine which was put in motion by a steam-engine. Oa the 21th ult., while attending a machine, a screw got un fixed. Ile was in the act of tiglsteai n it, while doing which he inadvertently placed his head between the lever and the bracket, when he was struck by the lever on the right ear. lle momentarily extricated himself, and ea claimed to a boy who was near him," My head is smashed." Mr. Long, foreman of the machine department, immediately' took him to the German Hospital, where he erns attended by Dr. Weyer, the resident physician, who found the left ear cut in two and an extensive fracture over the right car. lie rallied under treatment, but afterwards fell into a state of insensibility, in which he remained till Monday last, when he died. Deceased had been five years in the esta blishment, and has left seven children. The firm, upon the admission of the deceased, gave a liberal contlibution to the funds of the hospital. Verdict—" Accideutal death." SINGULAR ESCAPE.—On Thursday morning a most extraordinary escape was experienced by a child named Bacon, belonging to poor but respectable parents, at Stan way. The child was playing round the mouth of a draw well, 41 feet deep, but containing little water, when it tell in: the force of the fall was broken upon the water, and the child when released was found with its head in a bucket which rested on the bottom. The parents of the child were instantly attrac...d to the distressing scene, aid rapidly raising the bucket to the top of the well they had the joyful satisfaction of soon discovering that their child hail sustained no further injuries than some severe bruises. —Chchnv ford Chronicle. DEATH ON A DOOR STEP.—Yesterday Mr. Wakley, M.P. held an inquest in the Marylelmue Workhouse, uu the body of Stephen Stephens, aged formerly an inmate of the above workhouse. Deceased was found by the police on the step of a door in Manchester-square, on Sun day morning, quite insensible. Hewes taken to the station house in Marylebonc-lane, whence he was removed to the workhouse, where stimulants were administered, and every attention paid to him, notwithstanding which he died on the same evening. The jury found that the death was occasioned by want of proper nourishment, and expressed an opinion, in which the coroner concurred, that the police had exhibited great neglect in not having administered stimulants to deceased in the first instance. GAROTTE ROBBERIES IN BIRMINGHAM unhappily continue on the increase, the past week having added sere- ral more to the already large number that have recently taken place in this town and neighbourhood. An improve ment seems to have been made in the "garotte," in the shape of an instrument with a running noose, equally adapted to throw round the neck and to serve as a trap fur the feet. The frequency of these attacks, and the audacious manner in which they are carried on, cause great alarm to the inhabitants of the outskirts of the town, and it is to be hoped that the logice will be able soon to effect a capture of some of these highway Thugs. SINGULAR CHICVMSTANCL—ACOTIeSpOndent states that on Friday morning last, Dee. 6, as the team-man in the employ of Mr. Wm. Palmer , of Besthorp, Norfolk, was about to give his master's hones provender, in clearing out the manger, discovered a piece of one of their tongues, which, on rumination, was found to lie about three inches long, and to belong to a fine chestnut horse, six years old. The animal was in perfect health at the time, and had been at work the previous day. It is supposed that the horse bad bitten the piece off while asleep, as he gvnerilly slept with his tongue hanging out of has mouth, and marks of teeth appear on the piece found. He is reported to be doing well, and the proprietor has resolved to preserve the portion of the tongue found in spirits. BAILTVAYS. THIS DAY. Two o'CLocx. The share market opened very good this morning, higher prices being realised for Caledonians, Great Westerns, Lancashire and Yorkshires, North West- I erns, South Westerns, South Easter" York and North Midlands, and others,but,since the fall in Consols, and with high rates of " continuation - being demanded on some descriptions, a decided reaction has en sued, and prices arc now in all cases quoted lower. The decline is most marked in Midlands, North British, Manchester and Sheffields, and York and North Midlands. The arrangements for the settlement of the account are in full progress, and excite much attention, the account being a very heavy one. On Midlands the contango" rules at to 4 ; t n Great Westerns, ; on North Westerns, ; on Dovers, ,t, and on York and North Midlands, At the moment we write the market is very flat. emits.; AND 4rIZ,KII UAW %RAMMED.

E.) I 2 12•1 12 td Bt.. I W:11 Maki TIIIS DAY. Two o'CLocK. There has been a marked reaction in the English stock market toalay, quotations having experienced a heavy fall. Prices opened with a buoyant ap pearance, and at an advance of about 1, per cent. on the last rates of yesterday, but heavy sales for the opening in January, commenced by an influential broker, quickly gave the market a de cided turn the other way, and the quotation hos gone down nearly 4 per ccut. As to the grounds of the sudden fall nothing certain has as vet reached us. Rumours of all descrip tion are * flying about, sonic referring to unfavourable Austrian news, others having reference to an al leged general vote of the 1 much navy against the President (a report which our telegraphic des patches quite refute), whilst in sonic parts of the I City reports of Louis Napoleon having been shot are freely current. At a period like the pre sent, when the aspect of continental politics is so earnestly watched, we would merely observe, un founded sinister rumours are rather the rule than the exception among many classes of City men. As we-write the tone is decidedly flat, with an uneasy feeling prevalent. Consols opened 97 to }cx div. for the January opening, or equivalent, with the. divi,leud on, to 99 to 14, being an improvement of = as compared with yesterday's last rate of 9'} to 1. They then fell to 96!„ at %hi& there were large sales, and after a slight rally arc now flat at 96 to ex div. for the 16th proximo. The official business list comprises :—'lhree per Cent. Consols (shut), with div. for money, 9al, 971 ; ditto for ac count, 97, 961 ' ex dir. Three per Cent. Re duced, 971, 97 ; New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 981, 971. Exchequer Bills arc rather flat, at 475. to 50s. Irem., being a reduction of Is. since yesterday. ndia Bonds arc nominally unaltered. In the foreign market operations have been re strictcd by the arrangements for the account. Mexi cans continue to advance, it being supposed that some of those in the secret have had intelligence by tho late mails of a favourable nature, the more particularly as the communications of the committee was rather depressing. Mexicans were dealt in as high as 251, so that the bear operators who have been obliged to buy in will suffer. The official report of the tra'sactions is:—Belgian Bonds, Two and-a-llalf per Cent., 59. Buenos Ayres Six per Cents., 50; Chilian ix per Cents., ;tit!, French Five per Cent. ]tenter, :kik. at an exchange of 25fr. 23e. Mexican Bonds, 23,1, ; ditto for ac count, 23.1.

The Californian gold mining shares are neglected to-day, and rather flat. Agua Fries are quoted .1 to I prem.; West Mariposa, 1,, dis. to par; Golden re Mountain, par to 4 pm. • Nouveau Monde, 1 to prem.; Ave Maria, to 1- die. ; Anglo Californian, to 4 prem. hether any parties have operated for political purposes is not known, but the new plan of the Portuguese Minister of Finance does not meet with ready acquiescence. It involves two =dine considerations. The first is, that on the dividends proposed to be treated of, the iniqui tous deduction of 25 per cent. is proposed to be applied; and the second is, that the claims of the bondholders are to be disposed by the action of the Port.iguese government without their consent. Setting, these considerations aside,the avowed motive of tic. , minister is laudable enough, to provide for arrears, to keep up cash payments at the fixed periods, and by getting rid of the Lisbon jobbers and usurers to prevent the dissipation of the national resources. The minister proposes in June, 1832, instead of pay ing ono arrear dividend to tender four per cent. stock for the four arrear dividends, appropriating the divi dend money to get rid of the Lisbon jobbers, and paying the dividend in December, 1832, as of that period, instead of December, 1850. One calculation made on the Stock Exchange is that the operation stands thus: Four half years' dividends £B Le.s 25 per cent 2 Four per Cent. Stock Value of ditto at 30 1 16 It is consequently treated as a commutation of 87. for 1/. 16s. This, however, is not a fair comparison, because under no circumstances can such assumed market value represent the real value to a holder. It must be remembered that these arrears cannot he paid off in cash; no ono is sanguine enough to be lieve it, and a conversion sooner or later is all that is to be expected. In Juuc, 1852, the sum of 1/. 10s. in cash would be receivable(2/.,less 25 per cent.), and if stock should be given instead, a needy holder driven to sell would, at the above rate of calculation, receive V. 16s. instead of 11. 10s. It will be for the bondholders to determine whether the arrear coupons should be funded, and on what terms, and whether a dividend should he given up or not in consideration of such funding, but the Portuguese government know well enough that if the bondholders met to consider such a proposition, they would demand the restitution of the 23 per cent. deducted on so many occasions. If the government were honest, it would be most desirable to get rid of the Lisbon jobbers, and of the appearance of arrear coupons, as the dividends would be better paid and the stock bear a higher price; but the bondholders must take care how they authorise Peninsular arro gance to tamper with their rights. The business transacted in foreign exchanges yester day was not considerable, but the quotations were lower for Amsterdam, and particularly so for Vienna and Trieste, which were in great demand. Short Paris was done at 25.174 to 20. It was rather offered; parties having to draw against railway shares sold iu the Paris market: ditto three months, was quoted 25.35 to 40. Amsterdam, coming lower from the other side, receded to 11.17 to 1, but purchasers re frained from buying, and the amount negotiated was not considerable. Hamburg remained 13.10 to with but little doing. Frankfort found few takers, and looked a shade higher at 120; to 121. No change worthy of particular notice occurred in the rate on Italy, Sicily, Spain, and Portugal, but a very considerable fall took place in the exchanges for Vienna and Trieste, which were doue as low as low as 12.40, in consequence of spe culative purchases by parties who anticipate an im provement in the Austrian prices from the events in France.

I q Vi 20 1 i tsi ts lin 33 21 161 I 16 j By last advice' the price of gold at Hamburg is 4281 per mare, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 171. 10!d. per eunce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.61; and the exchange at Ham burg on London at short being 13.7, it follows that gold is 0.110 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. According to the last accounts the course of excluango at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1101 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.92 per cent. in favour of England. After making allowance for difference of interest and charges of transport, we find that the present rate leaves a profit on the im portation of gold from the United States.

The stock of bullion is rapidly mounting up to seventeen millions, a figure M hich it may reasonably be expected to reach before the commencement of the dividend payments in January. According to the offiehl 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 29th of November last, was 3,433,-1671.; in the week preceding, the amount was 3,173,117/. There is consequently a decrease of 41,&0!. The note circulation of the joint-stock banks during the same week was 2,740,931/.; and the previous week's return being 2,778,198/., the decrease is shown to be 37,2641. . . . . . . On taking into consideration the active circulation of the Bank of England, which in the week in ques tion was 19,223,1631. (being 131,735/. less than the week preceding), we find the aggregate note circula tion of England and Wales to be 23,397,866 1 ., which shows a decrease of 171,401/. as compa►ed with the returns for the previous week, ending the 22nd of November. _ _ As regards the fixed issues, the private banks were 1,264,698/., and the joint-stock banks 669,043'. below the amount authorised to be issued, making a total of 1,933,661/. below the fixed amount.

The forei..m Wool market continues in a very inactivo state, and in as probability will remain so for the remainder of the month. There is some probability of a little de mand springing up from France as things ln•como settled, the manufacturers there being all low in stork. Prices remain firm. This weekv imports of wool into Loudon have been rather large, comprising 3,953 bales from Islay, from Algot Bay, a from Ham burg, d 2 from 'Trieste, 64) from Taganrog, 1 from Bombay, and 60 from Alexandria, in all 6,101 bales.
