Yesterday forenoon a frightful accident, result: ad from the incautious use of Imarms, occurred at Camberwell. About twelve months ago Mr. Thomas Hum, a man who had been for forty years one of the moat • atenkive formes and market gardeners in the metrop b., died, leaving four orphan children, throe sons and a daughter, and leaving his property to be carried on for the benefit of all Ms children alike, and under the supervision of the eldest son. The family were ono of the moat united In the pariah, end nothing could eland the harmony observable in their residence in John-street, Commercial-road, Camberwell, until it was marred by the unfortunate occurrence we are about to describe. On Sund►y last • young lady, • particular friend of the family, spent the day with them, and remained there on • visit, and on the following morning, after breakfast, this young lady and Miss Horn, an amiable young woman of sixteen, took down a gun, which hung up in the parlour, not having the slightest idea at the time that it was loaded. Just ea they. had done so, the second brother, James Hum, aged eighteen, en tered %beeper! meat, and struggling playfully w I tII him sister and the young lady for some moments, succeeded in getting therm away from them andplaced itanderhlsakonlder.Theinatant be did ao the gun went off and the charge striking his sister on the forehead, literally carried away the roof of her skull, scattered her brains about the apartment, and she instantly dropped at his feet • lifeless terve. The shock which the unfortunate youth, as well as the young ►ady who was pre lent, experienced may be conceived. In fact the. shock to all the members of the family has been indescribable, and the unfortunate °entrance has thrown • coneiderable gloom over the neighbourhood. Yesterday Information of the unfortunate calamity was forwarded to Mr. Carter, the coroner for Surrey, to appoint • time for the inquest. LONDON DISCOUNT COMPANY.-ITRIS DAT).

Two o'OLoot. The funds to-day are slightly firmer, bat the ac tual recovery in Consols Beauty exceeds 1-16 per oent. The share markets are steady. English railway stocks present a slight tendency towards improvement. Throughout the Stook Exchange business is very limited, owing to the prevailing political uncertainty. At Paris to-day (Tuesday), according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Recites opened at 68fr. 10c. for the present set tlement, and were subsequently quoted 68fr. Ik., showing a decline of bo. compared with the last price of yesterday. The telegram reports " share liquidation difficult." During the whole of the morning the scrip of the new Austrian Loan was nominally quoted 2 dis. to par, but within the last few minutes the broker who usually acts for the agents of the loan hu come in as a buyer, raising the price to to 1 prem. 640801; are quoted 961, "alien," for money and the Bth inst., and 961, exactly, for the 9th March. The Three per Cents. Reduced have been dealt in at 951 to 96; the New Three per Cents., ►t 931 to 96; Bank Stock, at 2271 ; the Indian Four per Cent. Debentures, of the first issue, at 981 to 991, showing a fresh decline; India Bonds, at 225. to 265. premium; Exchequer Bills, of both issues, at 345. to 375. prem.; and lExchequer Bonds, falling payable in May next, at 100/ to f. In the foreign stock market the transactions have been rather more numerous, and in some instances prices are slightly firmer. The fl rs t series of the Turkish Loan is now quoted 6/ to 81 din., and the second, 7 to 61 dn., after being marked 7f dia. The Six per Cents. of 1854 are slightly firmer, at 90f to f. Sales are recorded as follows s—Brazilian old Five per Cents., 102, 1021 ; ditto Five per Cents., 1829 and 1839, 1011 ; Milian Six per Cents., 1031 ; Danish Five per Cents., 1011 ; Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents., 86 (exchange 12 fi.) ; Peruvian Four and-a-Half per Cints., for socount, 911,92 ; ditto Three per Cents., for acct., 71; Portuguese Three per Cents., 1863, 461 ; ditto for account, 471; Spanish New Deferred Three per Cents., 30 ; Turkish Six per Cents., 1854, 901 ; ditto for account, 901; ditto Six per Cents. 1868, first series, for account, 781; ditto,;second series, for account, 71 dia. It is not to be assumed for a moment that Mears. Rothschild have contracted to take the Austrian loan on their own responsibility; they have, doubtless, taken it merely on commission. Even under this condition, surprise is expressed in many quarters at their bringing forward the project at so inauspicious a time. It is pointed out that the subeoription list will be closed at 11 a.m. on Monday next—i.e., one hour previous to the delivery of the speech of the Emperor of the French, at the opening of the Chambers. The failure of this loan would be merely a repetition of the fate of the Anglo-Austrian Loan of 1862 for 3,600,0004, at 90 per cent, of which only a comparatively limited proportion was taken here. The present price of the latter is about 87 to 89 per cent., but there is scarcely any market for it I for, although holders might be found willing to sell, with a view to exchange into the new loan, an attempt to realise any important amount would be fruitless. It is probable that subscriptions to a limited amount may be .sent in through London houses by con tinental applicants; but, according to present ap pearances, little English capital wilt be embarked. The fate of the foreign loans raised here last year, the anxious position of politics, and the certainty that, in the event of war, the present will be only the first of a series of Austrian loans, each to be issued at a lower price than its predecessor, combine i to induce caution. The discount market yesterday was easy. For first class bills 2} to 21 per cent. were the terms generally current. The applications at the Bank of England, though more numerous than during the last day or two, were still very moderate. To-day a pay ment of a million sterling falls due on the Victoria Government Loan. About 10,0001. in American gold, ex the Alps, was yesterday sent into the Bank. The 661,4001. in Australian gold by the Swift sure and Blackwell was delivered yesterday, but too late to admit of any portion being sent into the Bank. The amount purchased for the Continent up to yes terday afternoon was about 225,0001. The specie by the steamer Africa from New York is 94,9001. The steamer Thames will probably reach South ampton about the 10th Feb., with the 75,4001. in gold, and the heavy portion of the Australian mail, ex the Columbian. The light portion, via Marseilles, is expected to be distributed on Friday or Saturday next. The Columbian was detained at Melbourne three days after her contract time to allow of replies being sent to the October mail by the European, which had arrived out. In the wheat market yesterday prices were not essentially different from those of Monday last. In the tea market the price of common congon has risen to 13d. The official announcement of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, against 4! per cent. per annum at the corresponding period of last year, has excited disappointment. From the intimation put forward, however, the directors apparently deserve credit for adopting a much more honest and legitimate mode of dealing with the expenditure for the renewal of rails and parliamentary costs. The dividend on the stock of the East Lancashire Railway Company will of course be at the same rate as that of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company. The dividend on the stock of the Greet Southern and Western Railway Company of Ireland is officially announced at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, with a surplus of 10,0001., against the same rate at the corresponding period of last year. The committee of the Stock Exchange have, so far as they are concerned, summarily cut short the dispute respecting the character of the treatment sustained by the Geelong and Melbourne Railway Company at the hands of the Victoria government, by fixing Monday next, the 7th lost., as special settling day in the new Victoria Bonds, and authorising their quotation in the official list. Considering that the committee, in adjourning the matter on the 17th inst., were avowedly actuated by • desire to receive farther intelligence from Aus tralia, that no intelligence has since come to hand, but that the telegrams this morning announce that the Australian mail is only a few days' distant, to day's decision has excited considerable surprise. 'The Brighton Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 6741. The weekly traffic return of the Great Western Railway of Canada, just received, shows a decrease of 2,2681. sterling. A note attached to the return intimates that this sum " includes a small amount of local traffic on the Sarnia line." The annual meeting of the North British Aus tralasian Company took place yesterda. The sum applicable to a dividend amounts to 1 2,9221., out of which a distribution of 61 per cent., free of incases tax, was agreed to, leaving • small balance to be added to the reserve fund. The annual meeting of the East Lincolnshire Railway Company . is called for the 18th Feb., awl will be made special, to authorise an application to parliament for power to convert the mortgage debt into a perpetual irredeemable 4 per cent. Debenture Stock. The half-yearly meeting of the London and Black well Railway Company is, called for the lbth Feb., when it will be proposed to consolidate the paid-up shires into stock. ' The second ordinary half-yearly meeting of tt. Mediterranean Extension Telegraph Company is called for the 7th Feb. MOXIMI EVPNINO. The announcement of the Austrian Loan ha.. natu • rally prejudiced the stock markets. The funds pm. sent a fresh decline of Ito 3.16 per cent. News at a further fall on the Paris Bourse contributed tc strengthen the adverse tendency. The government broker made another purchase of 20,0001. stock ; ant'. these operations, which have represented of late a minimum of 120,0001. per week, aggravate the glut of money in the Stock Exchange. In every quarter speculative transactions are kept within a narrow compass, pending the re-assembling of parliament. fixed fur Thursday. In nearly all the other departments of the Stock Exchange, including the markets for Eng tist.. French, Lombardo-Venetian, and Indian rail es. shares, sympathetic heaviness prevailed. The :tut mentioned securities are additionally prejudiced bt the magnitude of the amount afloat in the Stogy: Exchange, coupled with the expectation of anotht Indian loan. Conaels, which closed on Saturday at 951 to 1, fo. money and the Bth February, opened this morning at the same quotation, but had fallen at the close to 95. "buyers." For the 9th March the last price wet 951, "sellers," the " oontango" being only about 1-16 per cent., in consequence of the short supply of stock. The official business report is SO follows : Three per Cent. Console,for money, 951, 4, /, j, ditto, for account (Bth Feb.), 96,1,4, i ; Three pt. Cents. Reduced, 96, 961, 951 ; New Three p.: Cents., 96, 951, 961,951; Long Annuities, expiring in lan., 1860, 1 3-16; 30 Years Annuities, Jan.. 1860, 15-16; Thirty Years Annuities, April, 188 i. 18( ; India Stock, 221 ; Indian Four per Cent. Dt-- bentures, of the first issue, 991, 991, 991. The New Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were likewise officially marked 79g. It being assumed that the next Indian loan wi. be raised in 4 per cent. debentures, the existing secu rities of this description retain a drooping tendency. and were pressed for sale to-day as low as 99). Exchequer Bills have again declined is., beim? quoted 345. to 375. prem. India Bonds remain firr.. and were dealt in at 225. to 26e. prem. The foreign stock market was dull. MANSION-HOUSE.
