Shortly after eight o'clock this morning a middle-aged man of gentlemanly appearance was seen on the down platform at the Loughborough-road station, awaiting the 8.37 express to Ludgate-hill. his manner was noticed as somewhat emptier, and on the approach of the 8.10 through train from Dickley he took a deliberate jump from the platform ou the main line immediately in front of the engine in motion. To show his determination we may state that he leaped a distance extending over four lines of metal, and owing to the speed at which the train was travelling he was carried some distance before the engine, but was then run over and cut to pieces. The body was at once removed to a store-room belonging to the I•tation. The deceased wore no jewellery, and all that could be found in his pockets was an old key and a scrap of piper, on one side of which was written "London and County Bank, Lombard-street," and on the other " 13, Milton-villas, Millbrook-road." The station master despatched a messenger at once to the lust-named address, where the who of the deceased resided, and the name of the unfortunate man was ascertained to be Joseph Cartwright. It is said that the deceased has on more than one occasion expressed an intention to commit suicide; but no informa tion is given as to the motive of that intention or of the act which deprived him of life. ---- --- A , S THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING ; OCTOBER 16 , 1868.

A CONSERVATIVE PEER ON MR. DIRRAELI.—In addressing a meeting of the electors of Belfast, on Wed nesday evening. Mr. Johnston, of Ballykilbeg, one of the candidates, delivered himself as follows unhesitatingly my that I have not changed my principles—that I am the same Orangeman, ready to maintain Orange principles— (eheers),—to stand by Insraeli's government—(cheer,), as long as it stands by the protestant institutions of the country. (Cheers.) On one occasion I asked a noble lord to go with me into Mr. Disraeli's presence to try and get something done for the protestant' and onangemen of Ulster, and this noble lord's reply was, "Ile was ad —d blackguard, and he would see him in h--I first." This is a conservative peer, and I never said anything like that of Mr. Disraeli. (Hear, hear.) I honour him for his genius and his intellect, and, if he stands by the protestant came and institutions of the country, I'll stand to him as longs. I live. (Loud cheers.) ADVERTISEMENT EITRAORDINARY.—Tho fol lowing strange advertisement stands at the head of the second column in the Times: 17.E.N.

This shrewd suspicion will be wonder fully confirmed by the remarkable announcement we have quoted. Who is ' Old Toni of Grenoble" and what is "B. E. N. (my Premier)" expected to do with him or for him F and why should "E. W." be so wonderfully con cerned for his fate If " Old Tom," like Hamlet, lacks advancement, and looks for it from B. E. N.

THE ELECTION " SCREW " IN BLACKBURN.— The following circular, says the Maticheater Arnminer, has just been privately sent to all the tory millowneni, managers, overlookers, and tradesmen in Blackburn : " Blackburn, October 12, 1804. Dear sir,—At a very influential meeting of the conservative party, held at the Registration Rooms, Clayton-etreet, on the Bth instant, for the purpose of making arrangements for securing the return of Messrs. Wm. Henry Hornby and Joseph Fielden as the representatives of the parlia mentary borough at the ensuing election, the gravity and importance of the crisis iu our national history at which the election occurs was very prominently referred to, and it was decided that all millowners, and their managers and overlookers, and all master tradesmen and others pommeling influence, should be strongly urged to exert that influence so as to secure, in the municipal elections, as well as in the parliamentary, the success of the candidates who adhere to the constitution in church and state—the con stitution under which the people of this eoutry enjoy freedom and security to a greater extant thank' enjoyed by any other nation under the sun—and who are opposed to the levelling principles, demoralising in tendency, which would make Christian England a godless nation, undermine the stability of the throne and the security of property, and hasten on an era of anarchy and misrule. Believing that you know and appreciate the blessings, temporal and religious, secured in this country by the constitution which is at the present time so violently threatened by unscrupulous politicians, we venture to urge upon you most strongly the necessity of personal vigorous effort, to ac cure the return, as town councillors, of gentlemen who hold, with reelect to tuitional po ! itiea, constitutional principles', and the return to parliament of our two known end tried representatives, Mows.

The ondlohted ineniorand tni is hum the Tfor and Malt Exchange : At the Hop and Malt Exchange to-day the hnp trade continued inactive, and it is said that, ministering the low rates ruling, there can hardly be remembered a time when ro little demand existed. A few choice parcels of East Kents were taken at from 100 s. to 120 s. per cwt. Inferior qualities were altogether disregarded. Reports from Wey bill fair of esty's burins were unsatisfactory, and it is believed that no MISS of any magnitude were effected. The malt trade was quiet at late rates, and in the corn and peed departments quotations had a drooping tendency. Oil cake was firm, at advanced rates. The following is the official return of the cheques and bills cleared in the Bankers' Clearing-house for the week ending Wednesday, Oct. 14 - - - Thursday, Oct. 8 Friday, Oct 9 10,093,000 Saturday, Oct. 10 Monday, Oct. 12 Tuesday, Oct. 13 Wednesday:Pct. 14 11,370,000 £83,189,000 Cize. Dnam Bankers' Clearing-house, Oct. 1 :u 6. ; Chief Ins p ector. The week's total is mot unsatisfactory. Wednes day, the 14th, was the first day of the dividend payments. For the corresponding week of last year the total was 68,253,0001., but that included a Stock Exchange settlement. The weekly return of the Bank of France shows the following changes (the exchange being taken at 25fr. to the pound) : Coin and bullion Demme 8880,000 Bills discounted Not is circulation Private deposit& Treasury balance Diereses 133,600 Advance* From the further considerable decrease in the coin and bullion, accompanied by an increase in the discounts, there may be room to infer that trade in France is improving a little. The return of the Bank of England for the week ending Wednesday, Oct. 14, compared with that for the previous week, shows the following changes: Circulation issue £34,083,870 Decrease £609,06.5 Circulation active Public deposits 3,83+1,119 Decrease 1.468.505 Other deposits 20,231,481 Increase 2,209,03.5 Government securities in banking department .. 15,935,874 Increase 896,158 Other securihee in bank. ing denartinent Coin and bullion in both --- 20,164,2.50 Decrease 543.695 Seven day and other bills 701,897 Increase 52,812 The Rest Notes in reserve Total reserve (notes& coin) in banking department 10,646,335 Decrease 411,695 This return shows the effect of the payment of the dividends, which commenced on Wednesday, tho 14th. The government deposits have been trenched upon to the extent of 1,468,5413(., in spite of &min further large leans obtained by the Chancellor of the Exchequer from the Bank on government se curities—probably " Deficiency bills." As, how ever, no immediate employment could be found in the market for the dividend money, it was largely transferred to the private deposits, which show an increase of no less than 2,209,0:15/. The unusual smallness of the advances taken from the Bank during the last few weeks is shown by the fact that the decrease in the " other " secu rities is only 231,894,f. The result of these various changes is that the payment of the dividends thus far has been accompanied with a reduction of only 411,695/. in the reserve. On the import and ex port transactions of the week the Bank parted with a net sum of only 10,000/. in gold: and the above return indicates therefore a continued ab sorption of coin far beyond what is tonally expe rienced at this period of the quarter.
