Frrim inqdries made on the spot, it appeared that about 8 o'clock, the deceased, who bad been shunting some opal waggons, had slipped on a line of rails just as an engine was being backed. The consequence was that the deceased was knocked down, and before the en gine could be stopped, it wan partially over him ; the fire-box of the engine, which is only a few inches from the ground, caught the deoined, and must have smashed nearly every bone is hi body, as it dragged him along the ground for sins distance, and it was not nail it reached the points that the body was released. As the engine was changing from one rail to the other it turned the deceased on one aide, and turn ing his head under the wheel., cat off the top portion of it.

The weapon is a Urge wrought irou gun for the purpose of th rowirig cylindrical shot, sod its peculiarity consist. in giving the shot a sufficient rotatory power without allowing the missile to enter the rifling. The trials were of a preliminary nature. intended to esoertain the general capabilities of the gun. mod to test the velocity of cylindrical shot of various weights with gnoluated charges of powder. The initial velocity was taken by the apparatus designed by Mr. New man, of the Electric Telegraph Company, being somewhat similar to that used at Shoehuryoess.

Haxr-rse4 Two o'Ctocx. Consols are unchanged, at WI to for money, and 91a to j fur the account. Both at the Bank of England and in the general market the demand for money yesterday increased. The terms fur good bills were 51 to 6 per cent. A number of Australian bills fell due yesterday, but the increased movement generally observable is doubt less caused chiefly by the advance of the quarter. In the Stock Exchange there was a strong demand for loans on government securities at the increased rate of 411 to 5,4 per cent. About 52,000/. in gold was Rent into the Bank yesterday, and 40,000 sovereigns were withdrawn for Alexandria. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were rather dull, but there was scarcely any variation from Tuesday's rates. Telegrams from Bombay quote the exchange at 2s. 10., shoe it.g a rise of N., or 211 per cent., compared with that previously received. There was consequently a decidedly increased demand to day fur bar silver, and a considerable amount was bought for transmission by the Bombay steamer of the 27th inst. Included in the total taken yester day was the supply by the last West India packet, which was sold at 55.1141. per ounce, showing a rise of id. compared with the price obtained for the previous supply. Iu the interval the market has been flat, with limited transaction•. The present advices from Bombay extend to the 2t'th of Fe bruary, at which date it is believed that large quantities of cotton had arrived from the interior for shipment to England. Accounts would also have been received from this side of an advance in the value of silver, owing to the receipt of a higher rate of exchange from Calcutta, and of our Bank rate being at 8 per cent. Now that the cotton season has fairly commenced in India, increased shipments of silver from this side seem to be looked for. An important decline, ranging from 2/, to 31 1 per cent., has taken place at Bombay in tLe value of the rupee paper. The Four per Cent. was quoted 92 ; the Five per Cent., 1021 ; and the Fire-and-a-Half per Cent., 110. At Paris, Vienna, and St. Petersburg, the cur rent rate of discount is 6 per cent. • Hamburg and Berlin, 4 ; Turin, 7 • Frankfort, ; Amster dam, 5 ; and Brussels, 4} per cent. The question of a settlement in the shares of the Australian and Easteru Navigation Company came before the Committee of the Stock Exchange yester day. Several of the directors from Liverpool were present, and laid before the committee a printed reply to the allegations recently wade with regard to the allotment of the shares, to the peculiarand extensive purchases, to the re, , erve of shares made fur Australia, and to the other points ou which they have been attacked. The committee will meet again on Monday, when it is believed they will give their decisiou as to whether a settlement shall take place or nut. It appears that though the number of shares ap plied for in the Credit MobilierAimited) amounted to three times the number to be allotted, the di rectors have adopted the laudable plan of issuing no letters of regret, and giving an allotment to every applicant. - - - The directors of the Standard Bank of British South Africa yesterday made a call of 5/. per share, payable ou the 21st April. At an adjouned ordinary half-yearly general meeting of the shareholders in the Auglo-loniau Steam Navigation Company (Limited), held yester day, at the otlices of the company, Mr. E. T.

PATAL OCCURRENCE'S ON THE RIVER. (THIS DAY., Shortly before the start for the tuiversity boat men this morning, when the river was crowded with craft of all descriptions. an accident, attended with a fatal result, occurred just below Hammersmith-bridge. Three youths were rowing a wherry, when, through their unskilful management. they ran foal of a heavy barge, and the wherry immediately filled and went down. Two of the youths were saved, bat the third, a very fine boy, named Benjamin Wheeler. between 12 and 13 years of age, the woof respectable parents residing in Chester-street, Lambeth, was carried away with the tide and sank. About the eame time a ° boatman, mimed Eooch Smith. belonging to Kingston.oo-Thames, was in the act of stepping from a coble on to the gunwale of • west country b.rgr, lying off Battersea, when his foot slipping, he fell into the water. An oar was thrown to him to keep himself up, to which he held for • minute or two and then let go, as if paralysed, immediately sank, and was carried away by the tide. THE BURGLARY AND ROBBERY AT A BULLION DEALER'S IN THE CITY. The great robbery of 3,0001. in notes, gold, and jewellery, which is reported to have taken plane at the shop of Mr. Themes M'Keowu, bullion dealeraod mousy changer, in Feochurch-street, in the course of Monday night and Tuesday, has excited considerable attention among the bank ing and mercantile establishments ill this busy section of the City. The circumstances altogether are very remarkable-; and although the police have been actively engaged in the matter, they have not succeeded in eliciting any fact which might aerial them in clearing up the mystery at tached to the affair. The shop is on the south ride of the street, • few doors from Phi- pot-lase, and, being • money coatiger's, • large amount of foreign money was exhibited is bowls in the win. dow ; as also rolls of foreign bank notes, and watches and other articles of jewellery. The doorway of the shop was in the aide passage, leading to • suite of offiixe on the upper floors, occupied by respectable firma. Mr. M•lieown u.a. °aged the business, and had two assistants. At the close of the day the money and notes and other valuable property were pat into • large iron safe at the hack of the shop, w hen it was locked up, Mr. 3Plieown having charge of the keys. The shop door was fastened with patent locks, sad there were two hole* in the shutters to enable the police on duty is the street to survey the interior daring the night, the gas being left lighted. On the evening of the night of the rob bery the place was left as usual, and the policeman looked through into the shop several times in the course of the night, and saw nothing to excite his attention. On the shop being opened on the following morning, it is SLOW that there,were no indications of the place having been for cibly entered ; but on the safe being unlocked, the whole of the valuable contents, reported to be worth 3,0001., were found to be miming. Immediate information was given to the police, and several of the most oleoresin:ad officeis at once atteodwl. and a minute OZABlillatioll of the premises was made. No marks of violence to indicate how the shop had been broken into could be traced, and it would seem that the shop-door hail been opened is the ordinary way. Several of the most eminent locksmiths were called in to examine the safe cud the locks, with • view of siker , taining the manner in which they had been operated upon.
