FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. - ONE KILLED AND ONN IN JURED. This morning information was forwarded to Dr. Lankeater, the coroner for Middlesex, of the shocking death of George Gummer, a railway labourer, who met his death under the following shocking circumstances : It appears that last evening, between 6 and 7 o'clock, the deceased and a number of other men were ed at the engine -sheds of the Great Northern R ailway, g York-mad, in lifting a powerful engine by means of a crane, for the purpose of changing the wheels. All went well, the engine having been lifted to within an inch of the desired height, when one of the chains supporting and lifting the engine, a chain the links of which are about two inches long and an inch and a half thick, suddenly broke, and the engine fell on the blocks. The end of the chain struck the deceased with great force on the face, cutting open his cheek, and swing ing caught him on the other aide of the face and broke his jaw. The unfortunate fellow was at once picked up and taken to the Royal Free Hospital, Gray's-inn-road, where he was attended to by Mr. Jeaffresoa, the senior house surgeon, and Mr. J. D. Hill, the resident medical officer, but though everything was done that human skill could suggest it was all to no avail, as life was found to be ex tinct. The deceased was known as a quiet steady man. and has left a wife and six children to deplore his untimely loss. The attention of Mr. Jeaffreson and Mr. Hill was next directed to the case of Frederick Ford, an engine cleaner, also in the employ of the Great Northern Railway. He was standing ►bout two yards from the engine when the chain broke and imme dimetly he felt a sharp blow on the thigh near the groin, which felled him to the ground. He was taken to the Royal Free Hospital. and on being undressed and examined by Mr. Jeafferson, it was ascertained that be had sustained a severe injury of the thigh. On further examination a hard substance was found beneath the skin near the knee. An operation was at once performed by Mr. Jeaffreaon and Mr. Hill, and a piece of a link of • chain about an inch and three-quarters in length was extracted from him. The patient is now going on satisfactorily, and hopes are entertained of his speedy recovery. It is stated that about ten months since a similar acci dent occurred at the Name mane, but fortunately without fatal results. It was only • short time before this acci dent that subscription lists were put up in the engineers' shop for the man who bad been previously injured. AFRICAN STEAMSHIP COMPANY (LIMITED). (THIS DAY.) This afternoon the half-yearly general meeting was held at the offices of the company, in Leadenhall street ; Mr. P. D. HADOW in the chair. The rejport has already appeared. The CIIILIRMAN, in moving its adoption, observed that the operations of the year, which had been somewhat limited, were fully detailed in the report. He congratulated the proprietors that notwithstanding adverse circumstances in monetary difficulties, commercial depression, and storms and cyclones, which had been so fatal to shipping, they were enabled to present so favourable a statement. The Inkerman was fully insured, and the mail service had been singularly satisfactorily performed, owing in a great degree to the seal, energy, and skill of the com manders and officers. Hs expressed a hope that from in creased traffic the line would ere long be self-supporting. They had contracted on serviceable terms for a new vessel, the Nana, in order to maintain the efficiency of the mail service, and lie urged the proprietors to agree to pay for it out of revenue by periodical pay ments—(law, hear)—remarking that although they had been paying a good dividend for some time, they should not wholly disregard the possibility of French or other competition, or loss from falling off In trade or other circumstances which might interfere with the receipt. Speaking of the proposition of a proprietor mentioned in the report, to pay a bonus out of the boiler and repair fund, he said that the directors were unani mously opposed to it. and on consulting the solicitor of the company, he had given it as his opinion that such a resolution could not be put under the provisions of the deed of settlement. (Cheers.) Mr. J. NURTON seconded the motion. Mr. HILL said that after the opinion given by the solicitor be supposed he was put out of court in regard to the resolution, but he regarded the boiler fund in the light of a reserve, and contended that as such the shareholders had a right to deal with it. They had an undivided balance of 49,870/., and he did not see why, under such circumstances, they should remain satisfied with an 8 or 10 per cent. ditidend. The report was adopted. CLERICAL RBETITI7TION,—The Echo du Park meat has the following:—" The will of his Eminence the late Cardinal Archbishop of Malines we. placed yesterday in the hands of M. Dnvivier, the president of the tribunal. The document, which is dated the sth of this month, is likely to produce some sensation. By the will of two elderly sisters, named Seger,, who died some 20 years ago in Brussels, the archbishop inherited two houses in Brussels, and a splendid property at Laeken. On his death bed Cardinal Stercks restored to the natural heirs this property, with the interest which accrued upon it during the time it was in his possession." It appears that Earl Granville was prevented by gout from being in the House of Lords when Lord Russell's education resolutions were discussed. In a reply to a letter from the earl, the Duke of Marlborough explains that his fear of the conscience clause has been that a parent might, under its operation, interfere so far as practically to do away with religious teaching in the school to other children ; but he is glad to learn from so good an authority as the earl that such an apprehension is unfounded. Snow has fallen of late in such abundance in some provinces of Spain that the railroads have been quite blocked up.

CARRIAGE ACCIDENT AT BOLTON.—YeSLPTCIay, painful accident occurred at Bolton. Mr. R. H. Ainsworth and his sister were proceeding along St. George's-road, when the carriage in which they were riding came into collision with a coal cart. The vehicle was overturned, and its occupants thrown into the street. Mr. Ainsworth and the coachman speedily regained their feet. but Miss Ainsworth had fallen in an alarming position. The horse had sprung to its feet, and was plunging and trampling upon the unfortunate lady. Several gentlemen who hap pened to be near held the horse, whilst Miss Ainsworth was rescued from her perilous position. She was con veyed into a shop near the scene of the accident, and medical assistance obtained. She had sustained severe injuries, hut no danger is apprehended. Mr. Ainsworth was severely shaken, but wee not otherwise injured. HOSPITAL TOR DIREASER OF THE THROAT, 32, GOLDES-SQUARE, W.—During the week ending ith December 348 patients were under treatment, of whom 19 Were new Mee, IN THE DIEPPE CASINO. —We sat there, in the shade, tinder the arcade, in indolent comfort, a small knot of us, French and English, working or not, as might be. the tide coming in at our feet, that moving panorama of figures and colours passing and repulsing before our eyes, ever changing, as if it were a living kaleidoscope.

But the body (if it could be called one) left off where other people's mostly begin, and there were no sleeves whatever, unless a strap of inch-wide white silk, carried up over the shoulder, could be called such. Over this was a covering of white tulle, thin and slight ; only those whose sight was very clear could see it at all. Perhaps she thought she looked well--that the gazes and glasses directed to her were those of approval and admira tion. Perhaps she found out how it really was, and under stood the angry hum that went round. "Can the Fr( nth like that style?" crossed my mind. " She ought to be re quested to leave the Casino," exclaimed, even as I thought it, my dear old French friend of many years, who wan misted next me. " I'd rather go abroad in my nightgown," heartily cried my English neighbonr on the other side. Who she was, or what she was, nobody professed to know, but we never saw her emit. Perhaps (poor thing 9 she only wanted to invent a new sensation—a very difficult matter to achieve amid those ever-changing costumes. — A roue for December.

MONET MARKET.-(THIS DAY) On o'O&ooz. In consequence of the absence of business the stock markets present few variations to-day, but the tendency is rather favourable, owing to the di minished demand for gold for exportation, the flatness of the corn market, and the absence of ad verse news from abroad. The circumstance that some of the recent speculators for a fall are closing their accounts, in anticipation of the Christmas holidays, also tends to impart firmness to some secu rities. The dealers are engaged with the fortnightly settlement in shares and foreign stocks, which has just commenced and will be concluded on Friday. There is still only a moderate supply of railway stock, and in several cases a premium for the loan of it till the next account has been paid. On Caledonian the charge is about / per cent. Home railways are quoted the same as yesterday, with the exception of a reduction in North British, but a few of the foreign bonds have improved. The charge for choice paper in the discount market is 1/ to 2 per cent., with a moderate de mand for money and a fair supply. Loans for a few days, on English government securities, are ob tainable in the Stock Exchange at 1 to 1/ per cent.

Anglo-American Telegraph shares are quoted at 184 to 4; and Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent. Preference, 4 to 41, showing no variation. Bank shares are dull, owing to the expectation that r,duced dividends will be declared at the meetings to be held in January.

It appears from the report of the directors of the Indian Tramway Company (Limited), to be pre sented at the meeting on the 16th inst., that the Secretary of State for India has resolved to gua rantee that the dividend shall be made up to 3 per cent. per annum upon the company's present paid up capital of 100,000/. from the Ist Jan. next until such time as it may be deemed desirable to proceed with the extension applied for, in which case such arrangements as inay then appear suitable for the purpose will be made. In order to make the accounts coincide in future with the date of the commencement of the 3 per cent. guarantee, it is proposed to pay the shareholders interest at 3 per cent. per annum to that date from the 31st Dec., 1865, in stock, the net revenue having been all expended upon the line and works.

The Nur( li. , r,ty of the system of marking dates on railway tickets by means of perforation, instead of by ink, has lately been disctused in letters printed in this journal from two or three railway shareholders. The system of perforation is now adopted by the South Eastern, London, Chatham, and Dover, Great Eastern, and Brighton com panies, as regards their coupons and for other pur poses, but nut as yet for dating railway tickets. The London and North Western Company, however, date their tickets by perforation, and a similar plan is adopted, we believe, by the South Eastern Company when excess fares are paid. The use of ink for such purposes is objectionable in many respects, especially because of the facility of erasure; and the recognition of the advantages altogether of perforation where cancelment of docu ments or a check upon the honesty of employds is desired. has made such progress among mercantile people during the last year ur two as to amount to quite a revolution in a not unimportant part of the routine of business. Machines invented and patented by Mr. tqoper are in use by the London and St. Katharine Docks Company, at Doctors' Commons, and by a number of the principal bankers, to whom the process for crossing and cancelling cheques, and for can celling other documents, especially commends itself. There can be no doubt that the system is as yet only in its infancy, and that it is calculated to obviate a vast deal of clerical labour, and at the same time to afford an effectual protection against fraudulent dealings.

The quality of the supply was only middling. Fu average supplies of foreign wheat were on sale. The transactions were confined to the immediate wants of millers. at late currencies. The floating cargo trade was, on the whole, quiet. Maize was scarce and dear. Other descriptions of produce, afloat, I met with but little attention. Fine malting barley, being scarce, readily found buyers at the recent advance in the quotations. Grinding and distilling sorts were dull of sale. Malt commanded but little attention on former terms. In oats, a fair average business was concluded, and the tendency of prices was in an upward direction. Beaus changed hauls to a fin extent, on former terms. The supply wet moderate.
