The funds to-day show increased heaviness. A further reduction of B per cent. has taken place. The decline if, due chiefly to the unfavourable cha racter of the American advices. The satisfactory intelligence from China has consequently met with less attention than it deserves. In the share markets the tendency of prices is likewise downwards. British and Grand Trunk of Canada Railway stocks may be particularised as heavy. Some speculative holders are realising previous to the holidays. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rental were quoted 68fr. 52ic., being 1-16 to per cent. lower than yesterday. Consols are officially marked 93 and 92i ex div. for Jan. 10. The present quotation is 921 to 93. The official business report is as follows : Bank Stock, 233 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 921, 1, i, 2 ; New Three per Ceuta-, 92i, 1, C if i ; India Bonds, 103., dia. ; Exchequer Bills, bs., 25., dis. In the foreign stock market the feature is a sudden demand for Turkish. The Loan of 1868, after being marked 574, 574, and 574, was sud denly driven up by speculative purchases, and was dealt in as high as 58j. The present quota tion is 584 to 59, being It to 14 per cent. higher than it closed yesterday. The loan of 1854 has met with lees attention, but has risen per cent., being now quoted 72k to 4. Mexican Bonds are slightly firmer, and other foreign stocks quiet. ISeles are recorded as follows :—Brazilian Four and-a-Half per Cents., 1860, 864 ; Chian Four and-a-Half per Cents., 824 ; Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates, 1004 ; Mexican Three per Cents., for account (Dec. 28), 22, 213 ; Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 954 ; Sardinian Five per Cents., for account, 834 ; the Spanish Committee's Certificates, 611 ; Turkish Six per Cents., 1854, for account, 72 ; ditto, Six per Cents., 1858, for account, 574, 4,4, 584. It is now placed beyond doubt that the projected Turkish Loan is a complete failure here, and it I would appear that its prospects are scarcely any better at Paris. It has been arranged that the Stock Exchange shall be closed on Monday next. The day will observed as a general holiday almost throughout the kingdom. The sum of 20,0001. in bar gold was taken from the Bank yesterday. for exportation by the Bombay steamer of the 27th inst. It is withdrawn thus early to allow of its being melted into small bars, a form in which gold circulates freely in The bar silver by the West India packet was die • posed of yesterday at ss. Ifd. per ounce, being Id. above the price realised for the previous remit tance, but id. below that recently current. An adjourned meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Sofiano Brothers and Co., Greek merchants, who re cently failed, was held at Manchester on Wednes day. It appears from the report presented by the committee of investigation that the liabilities amount to 66,132., and the assets to 93,3651., including goods at Constantinople worth 11,4561. After much discussion it was decided to wind up under kupmtiers. The Birmingham Post says : The failure of Messrs. Chapman and Grainger, of the Britannia Irony/coke, Oldbury, has been announced. A petition for private arrangement has been filed. The d'if &any has arisen chiefly in consequences of losses through Messrs. Cross and floe, and several other minor failures. We are secured that the liabilities are not large. The Liverpool ootton market continues very active. The sales yesterday reached 20,000 baler, at very full prices. Although the Atlantic Telegraph Company have spent all their money, the directors have determined, at their own expense , to keep the undertaking afloat, in the hope that at some future time the capital required for the renewal of its operations will be provided. The privileges obtained by the company are considered too valuable to be lightly thrown away. The London agents of the South Austrian, Lom bardo-Venetian, and Central Italian Railway Company notify the payment of the interest on the bonds due the Ist proximo, at the rate of 7f. 50c. per bond. It is also intimated that "in conse quence of the late changes in Central Italy, and the financial modifications of the company naturally resulting therefrom, as far as this part of the line is concerned, the committee of management has decided that the emission of Bonds of the ei Series tit t especially applicable to the expenses in Italy, shall not be proceeded with." The particu lars are also published of a number of Bonds of Series A and C which are to be paid off at 201. each on the let of January. The Eastern Counties Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 1,0011. ; the Lanca shire and Yorkshire, an increase of 3,0201. ; the Manchester, Sheffield, and Linoolnshire, an increase of 4541. ; the Midland, an increase of 4,0591. ; and the North Eastern, an increase of 4,0711. The settlement of the list of contributories of the idereantlle Guarantee and Assumes Company is to be proceeded with by Vice-Chancellor Wood on 'the 9th January. Interest at the rate of 5 per cent. for the year is announced upon the paid-up capital of the Euro pean Assurance Society. The half-year's interest is advertised on the debentures of the provinces of Canterbury and Wellington, New Zealand. The Agent-General for South Australia an nounces the payment of interest and principal of the bonds of that colony, due Jan. Ist. The position of the market for American secu rities is noticed as follows by Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co. : Business in America securities cluing the past week has been moderately active, and the market has shown great firmness, sad pekes mach steadiness.

SEVERE SNOW STORM IN HAMPSHIRE One of the most severe snow storms experienced in this district for many yearn occurred on Wednesday and extended in an easterly direction al ong th e w h o l e of the south coast, occasioning serious dalay and inconvenience to the geaseagrr traffic upon the South Western Railway. The mew began to fall at one o'clock in the afternoon, awl con tinned without intermission until half.peat four on Thum .I.y morning. The train from Salisbury, which is due at Bithopstoli c at 7.10, was upwards of an tour behind time, and ou arriving at Bishopstoke found that the up train from Weymouth and Southampton, after waiting for sonic time, had proceeded without it. A special train was then despatched with the Loudon p er s. but on reaching the incline at Micheldever bank, about a mile and a half from Mitheldever Station, the °Milian train was discovered. with a heavy gooda train helms it, blocked up by the snow, which at that time (9 o'clock) was between two and three feet deep. As it was impossible to move the 'acts train, the engine was un hooked, and cut its way through the snow to Micheldever, in order to procure assistance, guards being despatched down the with danger signal. to prevent the apron* of any other trains. On the goods engine reaching Michel d ever &telegram was sent to Basingstoke, 11 miles nearer London, aml two pilot engines were promptly sent down and a posse of labourers to clear the way. In many places the snow was found t o h ave a tt a i ne d a depth at Dearly five feet, and as the Are-boa of the lead' st mews berates choked op, every few minutes it was found requisite to dig aI. front of it before any scald be mad e . 77= 1 1:1y, after remaining stationary for yearly ilia 17 the goods tracks we taken to itiolieldoesr, the MICTiO) three engines being assmeary to drag them forward. Many of the panniers h the train behind were exceedingly alarmed by the delay, partimilmly as it was knows that the up soul train wan &lame due. Great credit s flowerer, is doe to the guards and other ollicia/a conamied with the company for the exertions they made, all of them working ap to their waists is snow, and for the premations= i took to prevent my accident. The goods mita was on to a siding at Micheliimer, and the paeseags train drew up at the station at belf.past one, when its alarmed and hoses occupants were enabled to obtaiu rstreeknenta and warm theruselvesat a roadside public.house. An unfortunate traveller, a Freochman, (rim Southampton, we. found to be so ill from the cold, sad the alarm be had experienced, that be preferred remaining at Micheldeverr all night to the HA of a further exposure. The train, with three engines at tached to it, proceeded upon the journey at two o'clock, but bed not goo* more than three miles whoa the Ars bum became choked up. and a further stoppage tooltgam. Prom this point to Banngstoke, about eight mike, i atc were uicenant. The snow 000dnued to fall very heavily, a and at intervals of about 100 yards theiguards and labourers were compelled to cut a purge. The train arrived at Basingstoke at half-past four, and remained there about half an hour until the mail train, which was two hours behind time, passed. The remainder of the journey wu seoomplished without further obstruction, and, to the asto- nishment of the passengers, it was found that no mow whatever had fallen between Woking and London. The train which was doe at the Waterloo station at Are minutes put ten on Wednesday night arrived there at 215 minutes peat .even on Thursday morning, being nine hours and a quarter behind time. At Newcastle mow fell more or less during the whole of Wednesday, and a hard frost set in. A large number of persons in Newcastle, Shields, end Sundorinad, base ben thrown out of employment by the sudden change of tempe rature. During Wednesday evening the atmosphere was highly charged with electticity, and frequent distant dis charges were observed. Shortly after one o'clock yesterday morning it commenced to thonirer, and Noshes of lightniog were extremely vivid and frequent. . - Edinburgh and Glasgow have been visited during the last two or three days with very heavy snow and hail storms. In the former city the snow varies in depth fresn 12 inches to three feet, and the roof of a house has given way fro m the weight of snow upon it. The trains on all the Sem , lines have been much delayed. On Wednesday morning the weetern districts of Corn wall were visited by • severe thunderstorm, accompanied with violent bail , which commenced about $ o'clock, and though it continued only a short time, considerable dame. was done. A poor woman was struck dead on the mad leading from Calenick to Tolverne. The south-west 1 1 pinnacle of the tower of Xeowyn Church on whiz& a moat inefficient conductor had been fiend, nu struck by the electric fluid and hue ed to the pound, where it lies broken. The lightning also entered the roof of the building, piercing s it in au or ni different places, and in its course destroying many et theater& seats. In thechnrelyard theaksbal ab,rgo tousle, assland within iron rails, was uplifted, huh^ sad the Anna scattered in all directions. A storm se add= and terrible at this wintry season has not been witnessed la Tnno for may years. Another account which we have ralisived slates that the destruction in the interior of the church was cussed by the pinnacle falling through the roof. A come 'pendent adds that a beautiful tablet, recently erected, was completely smashed, and that the church inside is one mass of broken stones and debris. The thun derstorm visited Rairuth and Penzance about the same time. At the latter place the lightning was very vivid to the eastward, and the hailatones exploding! ) . large ; the wind at the time and afterwards blew very cold from the north-west. Scow had fallen on the previous day throughout Cornwall, and in many parts of the county there was a heavy downfall on Wednesday. - Dublin hu experienced the taros severe weather during the week, and much suffurimg has boss @stades' upon the pour of the city in conseiluence. On Wednesday tie Dah lia and Wicklow Mountains were covered with snow. The Dram, the highest el the Wicklow nage, presseted one even vtufaco, evidestly at ciansiduable depth. The plains wen also covered with an even coating.

Tar Lars RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT LEIGH. At the Liverpool Amines, yesterday, Samuel Hind ley, a into about re man of age, was charged with man slaughter M emmezion with the recent strident on the London and North Western line, between Atherton sad Leigh, in November last. The prisoner, who was the (cre mes of the plate layers, was employed to take op and relay ' several of the rails on the line in question. The facts of the case are these : —On the 20th of last month the prisoner was directed to take up some defective mils and replace them. In such a proem as this the company furnished explicit rules for the guidance of their servants. The rules stated that in all cases of rails being taken up. a man bearing a red dag should be 1,000 yards on each side the spit to be dis turbed, to apprise any advancing train of the obstruction. in came of declivity, such as the one under notice, the sig. nal.noin should go 1,2n0 yards, became of the difficulty in stopping a train when descending a gradient. The prisoner i did direct two men to go out the necessary dimmers. from I the spot where the rink had to be removed, but before they arrived at the proper places be began to knock oat the " keys" and to remove the rails. When the slim& man, going toward. Atherton, had rose about 300 yards, he saw a luggage train approaching at a rapid rate. This train comprised 57 or St miscues, and from the speed it bad acquired the driver found it impossible to stop it be fore reaching the scene of the accident. On arriving at the place where the rails were disturbed the sugars. was thrown out of its course with terrific force and the driver killed. This catastrophe was attributed to the prisoner, who should have allowed the signal man to go theme thousand yards be fore raising the rails. For the defence it was urge.) that the breaks et the train were deficient in power, and also that the speed which it had attained was pester than it should have - been ; in fort, that the assident arms from inattention en Ike part of the rum in ellegge of the pawl. train. The Joey found the primmer guilty*/ manslaughter, but in con sideration of his previews geed character the sentence was needided to imprimmenent them months.

UNIAFTIEED CHILDRIII.—A correspondent writes to us from Elham, rays the South Eastern Gazette, re questing us to state that recently an inhabitant of that place lost a young child by death, who had not been bap tised. The consequence was that the clergyman when re quested to do so, refused to read over it the burial service, and would not even permit it to be buried iu the church yard till after dark, as though the infant had committed filo de at, or the berialgrouod was the property of the officiag minister for the time being, instead of belonging to the whole body of the parishioners, who have had to my for it twenty times over. In a neighbouring parish a similar incident lately occurred, when the cle rityman there told the mother that all unbaptised children • become hobgoblins after death," and are not permitted to go to heaven. , f
