With the exception of the Reduced Three per Cents., which are now relatively much cheaper than Consols, the floating supply of govern ment stock is diminishing.

DEATH FROM A RAILWAY AMIDE A youth named David Henry Jams, aged 17, • clerk in the general manager"s oilers at the Menebestet and Sheffield railway station, Manehes,er, died at as early hoar yesterday snider the following CifeIIUISISUCOS. On Monday the Bth inst. he went to give some letters to the =of the 1140 a.m. train to take to Hull. The train, ring the station, would have to piss the door leading to the office, and Jones attempted to jump upon the engine, ea he had been accustomed to do, though against role, to ride to the oaks doer. The engine was in motion at the time, and he missed his footing. The consequence was that his right foot slipped down upon the near rail, and one of the wheels of the engine went over the fore part of it and snaked it. Ile held on by the rail of the engine until his cries bad induced the engine-driver to atop, and he was thee taken down to the Manchester Royal Infirmary, where the surgeons (and also Dr. Harrison and Mr. Smith, surgeon, of Mosley street, who attended at the request o f the general manager of the railway), stated that amputa tion of the fore part of the foot would be nemeary. The father and mother of the youth (who were made acquainted with this opiaioo), however. objected to the amputation, sad insisted upon his removal home, where they might meld" a surgeon themselves. They afterwards took him to the surgeon, who is the present successor of the cele brated " OldSeld-lane Doctor," in whoa* powers the bum bler dares have great faith, and who appear. to have Omen he could save the foot. Os Thursday last, how ever, isortifleation was discovered to have commenced, and the leg was then amputated a little below the hue. This proved too much for the anfortsuato sufferer ia his thou 'shouted state, and he gradually sank said yesterday neusin, when he died. LOAN SOCIETIES.

Last night, a mooting of the Metropolitan sad Yenisei"' Mutual Defence Association was held at the Geddes Idea, Cannes-street-road, for the purpose of ex- ItZig end promoting Om objects contemplated by the Mr. Dim u, who was tolled to the chair, said that the circular calling the meeting explained the object for which it was emormed. He would therefore say uo same than that it would require all their effort and energy at the pre sent Punters to effect the object they had in view; for ea ters there was a pressure from without, nothing would be done from within. (Hear.) If they did sot bestir them selves now, sad show that they felt the injury which had already been indicted by the government, the result would I be that they would be obliged to shut up altogether as the may. (Hear, hear.) He celled OD Mr. Paster to propose ihs lest resolution, sod to explain in full the object for I Ville wen met. the »solution he had to propose re lquiesilisst any m be read, but to be understood, - boors the tisell to its support. It was seeesaary that li abusM tspiells is the meeting the object they had is view, what they hid done, and what they Intended to do is Mare. The resistion itself was as follows :—.*That tide , meting has moo melanins is meguisiss the Abele ' ling made by no Defense Amenties le repel thin Ilea SW, sad ly as wind the Mann legad time • .1. web sessint tin lien boat engem not may by esbwßfag, but else by W nano of he Joanne in Yardage* the objecu min lobe 'noised." The Beer Bill, le begged to observe, WY she inflicted upon them by the eat, as the chair- ' 1 ma seemed se think, because t was not a government measure. It ease from a clique of persons who, it they soak', would am only undermine their obliged to bat those of every trade th at wee to do basins* as the Sunday. They were y attacked, first, below they were the mast vulnerable. The llabbetarien 'Whence booked up as it was by the TO). DOW and Temperance gotieties, was so strong, that it it woe' sot shacked is time it would insidiously undermine °them as it had them. He did not mesa to say that they had use • great deal to show, or that they could let appeal to a great number of petltioos—though he would not allude to the mode is which those petitions had been pot up, or to the fact that they were signed by women and ebildrea, awl were the work of diasenoog congregations—praying tin the public-houses might be closed on the arsaaw. in was it at all suroriung that the legislature should brie paid some attention to these petition.; the MOM peens. larly whoa the society and the newspaper that should ham watched sad defended the interests of the trade neglestad I to do their duty. lied they been sufficiently on the alert, and warned the trade, they would never have been subject to the annoyance of the protein act. (Hear.) Within the last three weeks he had seen nine or tea members of porlianseat ea the subject of this bill, and they seemed astonished that say somplaints should exist about it as it was sodomised, they said, that the bill was a compromise between the tests and the promoters of the measure. And it was quite tame WOW trade was represented, or rather misrepresented, as SO reticular occasios by persona who had no au hem the trade to represent them, and who now co= mat they could Dave prevented the paseng of the act if they lied thought proper. (Hear.) Seeing that this was the cue, aMiesaing that • set of gentlemen had usnrpeda power which 4111 set belong to them, it became the duty of the trade to asseider what steps should be taken. He would not dispute that time gentlemen were actuated by the best motives in doing what they had does, and that being frightened at the strength of the report of the select oom antes of the House of Commons, they anticipated serials future changes, and that by throwing i n this nue awe as • kind of sop in the pan, they nought they pre teented something wore in pro.peet. There was neither principle nor manliness in adopting each a owes ; because fry consenting to a compromise, they betrayed the merits of their cause. It was as insult to the members of the Home el Commons to my that the measure was the result of a sem promise between the trade and certain members of parliament, or that they did not decide upon it on its broad merits. Nor was it lessen insult to the nods at large to represent them as entering into any compromise of the kind. (Hear, hear) Seeing, therefore, that the Protec tion Society did step out of its way in putting themselves forward as the representatives of the trade, and that they did not pay that vigilant attention to the interests of the trade which they ought, the time was come when the trade should bestir itself sad look after its own interests. That was evidently the feeling and opinion of the trade, for no tosser were a few meetings held in the metropolis titter the posing of the measure than they began to be largely attended, and persons were now *molted as members of the Defence Association to the number of 1,300 or 1,400. (Hear, hear.) This was an important fact, and showed the importance of the opposition they had organised. He was willing to admit for some time subsequent to the stertiog of the Defence Association, they were regarded as an ephemeral society, and it was supposed they would speedily amalgamate with the society that was longer in existence. That was a natural view to take, and in point of fact they did hold out the olive branch, but the Protection Society studiously avoided any approach, they said they were juvenile members of, the trade, and pools. peohed and snubbed them as much as possible. Now, however, they could not help recognising their PM ben and their status in the trade as being just as reopen able and dignified as their own. He was sorry that two se more societies should be in existence having the same object is view. It was a melancholy fact that such should be the cats; bat then the Incorporated Society, seeing that it compromised th eyad should have the manhood to camel forward and that they would now do the best they could to repair the mischief. (Hear, bear.) Would that society now, after having dons the mischief, come forward to assist in obtaining the repeal of the act ? They would attempt nothing of the kind. The Defence Association, however, sent petitions to be signed by the metropolitan publicans for the repeal of the act. All they fished was to be plated in the position they were before its passing. He would ask any reasonable man, whether he did not think the regulations in force, previous to the vaunt of the act, were sufficiently stringent to keep public-houses within the bounds of respectability and propriety ? (Cheers.) If there were disorderly houses previous to in• passing of the late act, it wee the fault of the executive and the police. Sib batarien people told them that in consequence of this act, the cause of sobriety bad been much promoted. And Mr. Gilbert A'Beekett wrote a letter to the TIVISS, stating that for 17 Mondays subsequent to the passing of the act, then had been fewer eases of intoxication than previously. But it was unfair to take the Monday morning only. He believed that if the cues of drunkenness on the Tuesday and the other days of the week were reekmed, it would be found that drunkenasse had not diminished on the whole. (Hear.) He was not an advocate for drunkenness. Oa the contrary he believed that the drunkard was the great pest of society. (Hese, hear) But what he contended for was, that a man could not be made sober or religious by legislation, but by Macedon and other moral appliances. (Hear, hear.) if these gentlemen wished to see drunkenness diminished they must stop the cause st the mune ; it would not do merely to turn arida the running stream. (Hear.) The chairman ,told them that they could only succeed by bringing pressure from without to bear, with a view to the repeal of this act. He agreed with him in that, and in point of fact they were extreme outsiders, for they were outside the Protection Society, and as was the cue sometimes with other out sohe trusted they would come in sad win. (Cheere.) thetegto they bad sinew and bone and blood Ma. OD win the ram. (Cheers.) It struck him as moat !Fibs* after having paid their licenses for certainpil fer twelve months the legislature should step in pm this act. (Hear, hear.) He wasters that if those who amid have watched their interests properly ropes-' essaid nis fact to the members of the legislators they 1 wish sat bast allowed the act to come into operation at' ismillill Air Otter. r, when the time for the renewal of the lisense mu round. (Hear, hear.) He now called I as the meeting to support the resolution on the sateslth of what they had already done. They at nu issk an apes and straightforward course. They oreapisiesl of the conduct of the Protection Society and of the I journal which reply/mated the trade. "Ile bad no doubt there were sissy lamest men amongst the committeemen who directed its &Heirs ; but he felt at the same time that there were three or four old members on the committee who, presuming oa their length of standing in the society, led the majority in a manner that was disgrace ful to themselves and to those whom they led ; and it these pumas were removed from their Genial position he bad no doubt that a better understanding and greater unanimity would prevail on their removal. The Defence Association were holding meetings over the metropolis, signatures to Wiliest fee the repeal of the act were asked for from the publiene sad the public, and mouldering that they did them Oise with the small mans at their disposal, without having essimme So diagnose.' theatriselleoefits, or without pethissing tho pest hose maker, he *man they had done n nub lee the messy as could be ansinsa.

These accounts, which we only notice because they are already gaining currency in London, ars certainly incorrect. It might be proved that they are a mere echo of false news, which, for • time, circulated in England. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.—Captain Beni., R.N., Ad miralty agent at this port, has au•rd notices to be posted in the Richter , and Underwriters' Rooms, ting ten ders to be sent to his *Sop, India-buildings, Water-street, to-morrow, for one or more ships, from 300 to 400 tons sack to 'covey hay to the Crises. limited. _ It is understood that the fixed amount of ---- 800,000,000 f. (about 20,000,0001. sterling) of the French loan will be entirely covered by the subsirip tions not exceeding 500 f. (say 201.) of annual rents. It is even stated that these small subscriptions, in respect of which the French government hu ac corded a preferential claim to the allotment, must be subjected to a certain proportionate reduction. The grand total of the subscriptions was reported from Paris to-day by telegraph as approaching two milliards, or about eighty millions sterling. Under these circumstances it is inferred that the appli cations of large capitalists, and those transmitted from London, cannot be entertained. As the worse of the money market, and the current of Use precious metals, have of late been exceptionally affected by the French loan, this fact is invested with considerable import ance. The astonishing success of this financial ope ration is the subject of generafcomment, and attests in a striking manner the vastness of the pecuniary means lying at the disposal of the two great nations of Western Europe for the prosecution of the war. If the Czar be amenable to reason, there is no fact since the war began better calculated to induce him to pause in his violent career than the eagerness with which this French loan hasheen taken up, as con- treated with the miserable failure of his own attempts to raise money. The scrip of the French Loan rose to-day to 3 to 31 prem., and closed at 21 to 31 prem., or about / per cent. higher than yesterday. There was to-day less demand for money, and a fuller supply in the discount market. In the Stock Exchange the rate of money on government securi ties was 31 to 4 per cent. The final instalment on the last million of the Turkish loan fell payable to day. The whole 3,000,0001. (being the total amount yet issued) of this loan is now paid up. At Paris to-day a further rise was established, amounting to about 1 per cent. in the Three per Cents., and I per cent. in the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. At Vienna, the exchange on London has de clined to 12.13, but the Austrian funds have again fallen 3 to 1 per cent. At Frankfort, Austrian stock has receded about 1 per cent.; and at Berlin, Russian securities are declining. Consols were first marked 92 for the Bth February, and closed at 921 to /. For money, transactions are recorded at 911 to 92 , 4 and the closing quotation was 911 to 921. The official business report is as follows: —Three per Cent Console, for money, 92, 911, 92 ; ditto, for account, Bth of February, 92, 921, 923, 92. Three per Cent. Reduced, 911, 1, 92.

Exchequer Bills remain quoted 4s. to 7s. pram. ; Exchequer Bonds, 991 to 4 ; and India Bonds, 111. to 14e. prem. Tne regular opening of the transfer books of Console will take place tomorrow (Wednesday). Foreign stocks generally show firmness, including Russian. Turkish closed per cent. higher than yesterday, at 761 to 771. The amount of this stock afloat in the market is now largely reduced. Sales are recorded as follows:—Austrian Five per Cents., 1852, 85. Brazilian Five per Cents., 1843, 971. Buenos Ayres Six per Cents., 53. Dutch Four pe Cent. Certificates, 933. Equador Bonds, 4. Peru. vian Three per Cents., 501; ditto for account, 31st January, 51.

Bonds, 763,3; ditto for account, 31st January, 761, 1, 771. The foreign exchanges this afternoon exhibited a more favourable tendency. For bills on Paris there was little inquiry, and the transactions were gene rally at the rather improved range of '251: to 23.025 at short, and 25.275 to 30 at 3 mouths. .On Am sterdam the current quotation was 11.171 to 1. Not withstanding a decline reported from Hamburg, the rate on that city remained steady at 13.51 to 5. Paper on Vienna and Trieste continues quoted 12.25 to 30. Several transactions took place in bills on St. Petersburg at 331 to I d. Owing to the more favourable appearance of the exchange on Paris, there was to-day very little de mand for gold for exportation. There is an impres sion that no further effiux will take place for the present. The Emigration Commissioners will receive ten ders on the 20th instant for the hire of a ship, to be ready by the 20th of March, for the conveyance of emigrants from Trinidad to Madras and Calcutta. At the meeting of the St. Katharine Dlck Company to-day a dividend was declared for the half year ending the 31st of December last at the rate of 2 per cent., free of income tax. The report was considered satisfactory, notwithstanding a decrease in the gene ral business of the company. A cordial vote of thiinks was passed to the directors. Lend shares to-day were quiet, at yesterday's quo tations. Oriental Bank shares advanced 11., and those of the London Chartered Bark of Australia showed more firmness. London Dock stock has been dealt in at 103; St. Katharine Dock at 90; and the Canada Company's stock at 105. THIS DAY—Two O'CLOCK. The English funds continue to ebow great firmness. Businesa is very limited, but prices have attained a further advance of per cent. Consols opened at 921 for the Bth of February, and are now quoted 921 to Z. For money transac tions are recorded at 92 to 921, and the present quotation is 921 to 1. The Three per Cents. Reduced have been dealt in at 92 to 921; the New Three per Cents. at 92 to 1; Exchequer Bonds, at 991 to 1; Exchequer Bills at 4s. to 7s. prem.; and India Bonds at 11s. prem. Foreign stocks remain steady, but scarcely any business is going forward. The only salts recorded are :—Brazilian Old Five per Cents. at 99; Turkish Bonds at 77 and 771 ; and Russian Four-and-a-Halt per Cents. at 901 and 91. Turkish is now quoted 77 to ; Mexican, 21 to 1; Russian Five per Cents. at 100 to 102; and Spanieh Deferred Three per Cents. 181 to t. MINES. TUESDAY REINING.
