I; 'RIGIITFUL ACCIDENT IN THE WATERLOO• ROAD, AND LOSS OF LIFE. This afternoon, about a quarter to one, a large Concourse of persons had assembled in front of the house of Mr. Southby, wardrobe dealer, No. 199, Waterloo road, within a few doors of The Feathers Tavern, in consequence of a disturbance caused by some brokers attempting to get possession of the premises, in which they were stoutly resisted by those within, when a portion of the pavement gave Way, precipitating about 25 persons to the cellar below, a depth of about 30 or 40 feet. One child died on the way to the hospital, and most of the others are very seriously injured. Police-constable William Venus, 142 L, in endeavouring to disperse the crowd, fell through along with the others, and Was taken to the hospital in a very precarious state. rth E MARKETAND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK, During the past week the progress of business in the manufacturing districts has not been very active. At Leeds the woollen trade has continued dull, and the operations in both yarns and piece goods at Bradford, Halifax, and Huddersfield have been on a very limited scale, without any material change in prices. Business at Manchester has been inactive in all departments, and the hosiery and lace trade, at Leicester and Nottingham, have ex hibited little variation. In the hardware districts, viz., at Birmingham, Sheffield, Walsall, and Wol verhampton the dealings entered into have been chiefly for home requirements, and prices have re trained unaltered. In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday there was a fair inquiry for most descriptions, and Prices were firmer. The sales were 6,000 bales. About £30,000 in gold was withdrawn from the Bank of England on Saturday. The steamer which left to-day with the Brazilian mails took out £11,382 in specie. The Sasonie, from New York, has brought £41,46 3, and the Ethiope, from the West Coast of Af rica, £B,BOO in specie. The traffic receipts of the Great Northern Rail way of Canada, for the week ending the 24th ult., amounted to £10,633, against £8,991 in 1861. Although the demand for discount accommoda tion has slightly abated, the rates continue very fir m , and few transactions are reported in private Channels under the minimum of 2f per cent. There Be enaS to be an impression that a further upward movement will take place, and capitalists are there fore less inclined to enter into business at the cur rent quotations. Gold continues to be withdrawn from the Bank o , f England f or expor t a ti on , a bout £30,000 having been taken away on Saturday. The following comments upon the recent pro gress of business appear in Messrs. H. W. llewes nry and Co.'s Price Current :—" While many branches of trade remain unsettled, the markets have been steady and moderately active since the tettleinent of the American difficulty. There is a large demand for consumption ; the transactions on speculative account have been considerable within t he past fortnight, and there are already symptoms o f an extensive export demand when the navigation of the north of Europe opens. The stock of bullion ba ld by the Bank of England exhibited e further Important increase last month, and the rate Was, according to general expectation, lowered to 21 per cent. on the 9th ult. A sudden renewal of goad shipments to the Continent has prevented any further reduction being made, and money is More in demand in other quarters. The financial operation on account of the French Government will doubtless have an effect upon the market, it being proposed to raise £2,000,000 to £4,000,000 her e on the security of the French rentes of 4 per Cent. interest. Accounts from the manufacturing districts continue of an unsatisfactory character. Th e high price of cotton entirely absorbs the pro fits of the producers, and many of the foreign mar kets keep fully supplied by the excessive ship ioents made at former periods. Under these eir tuinstanceb the adoption nfshort time at the various tarn s makes further progress, anti Ili. ---volp r of °Peratives out of employment is still on the in crease." The half-yearly meeting of the Royston and liitchin Railway Company has been held today, W hen a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per an num was declared. Very little fluctuation has taken place in the Eng lish Stock M ar k e t t o -d a y, an d th e t r ansactions have ° eel] rather limited. Consols, at the latest moment, Were about 92:i 93 for transfer, and 93 for the ac count.

In th e R ailway Share Market the deal i ngs h ave b een on a rather limited scale, and, in somF in stances, rather l ess fi r mness has been apparent.

CORN EXCHANGE. There was a fair demand for the best samples of wheat in the leading country markets on Saturday; but low and damp qualities moved off slowly, on rather easier terms. In barley a fair average business was transacted, neverthe less, the quotations had a drooping tendency. All other kinds of produce were dull, at barely previous rates. Scarcely any change has taken place in the value of grain in the continental markets; but the demand for spring shipment has continued heavy. Liberal supplies of wheat, flour, and maize continue to be shipped from New York. Somewhat increased supplies of home-grown produce were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad were 25,681 quarters of wheat; 2,861 barley; 8,465 oats; 1,370 beans; 776 tares; 26,547 linseed; 6,297 rapeseed; 374 sacks and 43,011 barrels of flour. The arrivals of English wheat to this morning's mal ket were small, yet notwithstanding the drier state of the weather, very little improvement was noticed in the condition of the samples. On the whole the demand ruled steady, and the rates current on Monday last were fairly maintained. We would remark, however, that there was no tendency to activity in the trade; nevertheless a fair clearance was effected. With foreign wheat we were fairly supplied. American descriptions changed hands more freely, at full quotations; and the value of other kinds, for which there was a mode rately active inquiry, was steadily supported. Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request, and the currencies ruled firm. The show of barley was less extensive. The demand, however, ruled somewhat inactive, yet prices were quite maintained. The transactions in malt were by no means extensive, at the late decline in the quotations. The oat trade was firm, and prices were well supported. The supply on offer was only moderate. The show of beans was tolerably extensive, and the trade for them ruled heavy, with a downward tendency in the quotations. Peas were a dull inquiry, and previous quotations were with considerable difficulty obtained. There was a fair average quantity on offer. American barrel flour moved off steiffily at late rates. In other kinds, a fair business was transacted on former terms. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Amongst it were about 90 oxen from Oporto, in fair average condition. Compared with Monday last, the show of home-fed beasts was on the increase, whilst the quality of all breeds was very good. Although the beef trade was by no means active, most of the beasts found buyers at, in some instances, an advance in the quotations of 2d per Blbs. The best Scots were disposed of at 4s 6d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,300 Scots, crosses, and short-horns ; from other parts of England, 900 various breeds; from Scotland, 550 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 200 oxen and heifers. We were again scantily supplied with sheep ; but the quality of most breeds was tolerably good. Downs and half-breds were in fair request at full prices ; but heavy sheep moved off briskly at an advance in the quotations of 2d per Sibs.

SEEDS. C om pared with last week) very little change has taken LAW lIV TELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.) JUDGMENT.-TILDESLEY V. CLARKSON. His Honour the Master of the Rolls said—The plaintiff asks specific performance of an agreement entered into on the 20th June, 1860, by which the defendant agreed to take a lease of Clifton House, Clifton-gardens, Maida-hill, for 7, 14, or 21 years, at a rent of £2OO for the first three years, and £220 for every other. The ground was a grant by the Bishop of London, and the defendant took possession on the 29th December, 1860, but objected that the house was in an unfurnished state, and required more repairs annu ally than was incumbent on him as a tenant to bear the ex pense of. His Honour, on considering the affidavits pro duced, and having personally inspected the house, and taken the opinion of experienced architects and builders thereon, came to the conclusion that he could not enforce specific performance of the agreement. His honour dis missed the plaintiff's bill, with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(nis Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STEALING A VALUABLE OIL PAINTING.—Mary Ann Connolly, pianist, residing at 377, Strand, was charged before Mr. Tyrw hitt with stealing an oil painting and frame, of the value of £4O, the property of Mr. Alfred Gritten, picture dealer, of 30, Gerrard-street, Soho. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prisoner. Mr. Gritten said he took two rooms at No. 30, Gerrard street, Soho (of which house the prisoner was the landlady) to place some pictures in, he being a dealer in pictures, and among them was the one named in the present charge, re presenting the " Virgin and Child," being a painting after Rubens. They were all taken to the prisoner's house on the 2d of December. A few days after he went to the houSe to get another painting to send to a gentleman, and, as he could not find it, this led him to examine the pictures more carefully, and then he found the painting of the " Virgin and Child" was also gone. He placed the matter in the hands of the police, and nothing more was heard of the matter till Saturday afternoon, when happening to pass along Princes-street, he saw by accident the painting in a dealer's window. He asked the assistant what it was, and he said he did not know, and that Mr. Adams had only had it a fortnight. (Here the accused fell down in the dock in a fit and, was carried out of court.] Mr. Lewis said she was subject to epileptic fits. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the case should stand back for half an-hour, and on the case being resumed, Some evidence was given of pictures being pledged by the prisoner's orders, and she was remanded. THAMES. A GERMAN Row.—William Pindler, aged 23, of No. 2, High-street, Deptford, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with feloniously cutting and wounding George Bartels, lodging-house keeper, of No. 17, Fieldgate-street, W hi techapel The complainant and prisoners are both Germans, Pind ler or Pinder formerly `lodged in Bartel's house, and when he left and hired lodgings in Deptford, it was alleged that he was in Bartel's debt. They met on Saturday night in Fieldgate-street, and a quarrel took place respecting the disputed account between them, and, according to Bartel's account, the prisoner attacked him and beat him, and in a struggle which ensued, cut him with some very sharp in strument on the upper lip, which was cut right through. He bled profusely, There was a general row among the Germans, principally sugar-bakers, of whom there were 60 or 60 present—the police interfered, and after a serious disturbance the prisoner was arrested. No knife was seen or found, but the prisoner had ample opportunity of making away with any instrument he might have had, Mr. Stoddart, solicitor, set up a defence for the prisoner that the complainant had struck another man in a public house, and that the prisoner was running after him when the complainant turned round upon him and gave him into custody. After a good deal of conflicting evidence, Mr. Woolrych gave his decision at one o'clock, and said in every case where it was made out a knife was used be would commit the party for trial. It was doubtful whether a knife had been used in this case, but a violent assault had been com mitted by the prisoner, for which he fined him M. AN IRISH BREACH OF PROMISE CASE. An amusing breach of promise case came before the Dublin Exchequer Court on Friday. The plaintiff, Miss Agnes Harrison, is a lady who has passed 35 summers, and resides with her brother rear Ballyleagh, county of Antrim. The ungal lant defendant, who rejoices in the euphonious name of Hooks, is one of the ruling elders of the Covenanting congregation in the locality, and has gone far beyond the allotted " threescore and ten." The case was a forcible illustration of the old adage that " every eye forms a beauty ;" for so strange was the appearance of the reluctant lover that the bag boys and loungers of the Four Courts are stated to have mobbed him when walking about the precincts of the court, and hunted him with cries of "Hooks! Hooks" down the quays. The counsel stated that the defendant, who when at home wears the best broadcloth and good clothes, he being a comfortable farmer, and worth over £l,OOO, appeared thus ridiculously and fantastically dressed in wretchedly poor clothes, with his face dirty, and his appearance very squalid, in order that the jury might be led to believe that he was in extreme poverty. The fair suitor laid her damages at the sum of £3OO, and the defendant pleaded a denial of the promise, A novel feature in the case was that both the parties were examined by consent. Much laughter was occasioned by some of the statements made by the defendant when in the witness box, especially when at the close of his examination, he turned to the Lord Chief Baron, and in a mysterious and confidential manner in quired of him, " Does your lordship think the case is going in my favour ?" The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff —damages, £5O. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING. LONDON, Feb. 10.—Wind this day at noon—North; light breeze, and fine weather.

EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY OF A BOAT.—The works for the conveyance of the water from Spring head to Stoneferry have now fairly got into operation, under the superintendence oi Mr. Dale, the engineer. About 300 yards of the trench have already been made, and in digging at the depth of about ten feet from tho surface a boat has been discovered lying right across the trench. The boat is of oak, and is evidently a Roman relic, and must have been buried for at least a thousand years. With regard to the time when the work will be finished, we believe the pipes will be ready to admit the spontaneous overflow of water about the last week in July.—Hull Packet. How THE NEWS OF THE TRENT AFFAIR REACHED INDIA.—The .Madras Observer of the 26th of December contained the following announcement, headed, " Reported Declaration of War between England and Ame rica" :—" An unofficial telegram, dated London, the 2d of December, states that war is declared by England agains t the United States, on account of the boarding of an Engl ish West India mail steamer by an American man-of-war, and forcibly taking from her the two commissioners." The excitement which must have been occasioned by such an announcement may be imagined. FOREIGN RAILWAYS Algerian Antwerp & Rotterdam Ardennes.... ...... Bah. &S. Fran.. Lim.7 p.c. Belgian East.

An interesting memento of poor Goldsmith has just been laid before the public by a gentleman re siding at Holy wood, near Belfast, through the columns of a local journal. It is a letter written by the poet from Edinburgh in 1753, to his " good uncle," the Rev. Thomas Contraine, and is remark able as containing the only reference now to be found of Goldsmith having been, for a short period. an inmate at the Duke of Hamilton's ; " on what occasion,' wrote Prior, in his " Life of Goldsmith," " in what capacity, or by whose introduction does not appear : but it is evident he did not like his position in the family." Subjoined is a copy of the interesting document (if it be really genuine) which, along with another autograph letter from the pen of Goldsmith, the gentleman referred to alleges he has in his possession : " My Drat Uncle,—After having spent two Winters in Edinburgh I now prepare to go to France the tenth of next February. I have seen all that this country can Exhibit in the medical! way, and therefore intend to visit Paris when, the great Mr. Farheid, Petit, and Duhammell de Monson, instruct their pupils in all tho branches of medecine. They speak French, and consequeuntly I shall have much the ad vantage of most of my countrymen, as I am perfectly ac quainted with that language, and Few who leave Ireland are so. Since lam upon so pleasing a Topick as self ap plause give me leave to say that the circle of science which I have run thro before I undertook the study of Physick, is not only usefull but absolutely necessary to the making of a skillful' Physician. Such sciences enlarge our under standing, sharpen our sagacity; and what is a practitioner without both but an Empirick ; for never yet was a dis order found Entirely the same in two patients. A Quack unable to distinguish the particularities in Each disease prescribes at a venture. If he finds such a disorder may be called by the generall name of fever for instance, be has a set of remedies which he applies to cure it ; nor does he desist till his medicines are run out, or his patient has lost his life. But the skillful Physician distinguishes the symp toms, manures the sterility of nature or primes her luxuri ance : nor does he depend so much on the efficacy of medi cines as on their proper application. I shall spend the spring and summer in Paris, and the beginning of next winter go to Leydon. The great Albinus is still alive there, and 'twill be proper to go there tho' only to have it said, that we have studied in so famous an university. As I shall not have another opportunity of receiving money from your Bounty till I return to Ireland, so I have drawn for the last sum that I hope I shall Ever Trouble you for—'tis twenty pounds—and now Dr Sr let me here acknowledge the humility of the station in which you found me. Let me tell how I was despis'd by most, and hatefull to myself —poverty, hopeless poverty was my lot, and melancholly was beginning to make me her own, when you—but I stop here, to enquire how your health goes on. How does my Cousin Jenny, and has she recovered her late com plaint ? How does my poor Jack Goldsmith ? I fear that his disorder is of such a nature as he wont easily recover. I wish my Dr Sr you wod make me happy by another letter before I go abroad, for there I shall hardly hear from you. I shall carry Just thirty -three pounds to france with good store of cloathes shirts &3., and that with economy will serve. I have spent more than a fortnight every second thy at the Duke of Hamilton's, but it seems they liked me more as a Jester than as a companion—so I disdained so servile an employment—'twas unworthy my calling as a Physician. I have nothing new to add from this country; and I beg Dr Sir you will excuse this letter so filld with Egotisms. I wish you may be reveng'd on me by sending an answer with nothing but an account of yourself. " I am Dr Uncle your most Devoted " OLIVER GOLDSMITH. " Give my—how shall I express it ?

The variety of events touched upon gives an appearance of business, but in reality there was not much done. For the Chester Cup, Zodiac was in force to-day, and Weasel had a coming appearance, but his friends stopped at 50 to 1, which would have been readily taken. On the Derby, with the exception of 20 to 1 being laid against The Marquis, there is no change. 7 to 2 to £5O was taken about Old. Calabar for the Two Thousand Guineas, and for the Grand National Steeplechase some money was put on The Hunts man, finishing at 100 to 6 (taken). The friends of Thomas town readily took 100 to 7, but declined ICO to 8. The favourite was very quiet, while Brunette took her position in the rear, receding to 100 to 3 (offered).

(Rom Ow Honey Market Review.) . - It can hardly be said that France has taken the world by surprise in coming to our market once more for a temporary loan, for people have become so used to the shifty character of the Imperial sys tem of finance that nothing of the kind astonishes theme We are in an ago of forty million deficits, and surprise is a worn-out sensation. True, it is suspected that this huge deficit is merely shelved to a convenient season, and not permanently settled or disposed of. It is comprised in the hocus-pocus wherein the French officials delight, the most suc cessful and esteemed Minister of Finance being he who can best throW such a quantity of dust into the eyes of the public as to bewilder them, and com pletely incapacitate them from understanding the real position of affairs. That forty-million deficit, we repeat, is merely staved off—thrust on one side into pigeon-holes and elsewhere, whence it will de ;Tend with accumulated weight upon the head of NI. Fould or his sucesior. Is it pi shed partly into zhe floating debt ? Surely the amount of that debt was large enough before—certainly larger than the Government could conveniently float, or the market convendently bear. has advantage been taken of the Government control over Tension and other funds to stick floating securities into them, ala Russe ‘Vhat ether devices have been resorted to? One thing only is certain—that the forty million deficit, lately acknowledged with an affec tation of frankness which Droves to have concealed, an intention of getting a new loan in disguise, has never been honourably settled. The shifts pursued with regard this deficit, and to the handling of the floating debt, have lauded the Government in the quagmire of absolute pecuniary embarrassment, to relieve which they have turned to our market in an unusual and by no means credi table manner We se: it is studiously explained some quarters that the offer of a loan of £2,000,000 or £4,000,000 for three or six months came from bankers on this side, without being solicited by th e French Government, but the public are not quite so simple as to be deluded by so transparent a device. It is observed, too, that offers to the extent of £4,000,000 have been sent to Paris, and a pretty little picture is suggested of the French Minister (his empty coffers apart) deliberating whether he shall take the £4,000,000 or be content with half that amount. Probably, observes a contemporary, he will consider himself " bound" to accept the larger sum. We will be bound he will. The suspicious reduction in the rate of discount of the Bank of France from 4h to 4 per cent. directly it was known that this little affair had been satisfactorily arranged in London is interesting as betraying the Government dictation to that establishment, but will imp aise on no one. The rapidity with which the loan is to be paid up (see our " City Article") indicates that the French Government both want and mean to have the money: Accordingly, the financial classes here are already setting their house in order. The prospect of a draught upon our stock of gold, and of a speedy ad vance in the rate of discount of the Bank of England from 21 to 3 per cent. (if not to 3B is already in ducing holders of money to raise their terms. The demand at the Bank of England is likewise ris ing, and the resources of that establishment are diminishing. Let us not be misunderstood. The commercial and financial position of this country is too sound, and the avoidance of foreign commitments has been too strict, to admit of uneasiness respecting the future course of the money market. All that need be appre hendelis interest hand into at present is a very moderate rise in the value of maney from its present level, which rightly viewed, is too low to be pe r manent, since it invites every ou k r in p d ur o s. putfeboArrosowmerewtohactohmieghaenrdrate of i l will be more likely to prevent future inconvenience. It will probably prove, therefore, that a moderate increase in the value of money will have a beneficial action. But we shall pity the French Government when they have the task of remitting back to Eng land the money which they are now borrowing for an unscrupulous purpose—namely, that of putting a false face upon their credit at home. It is pro bable that the exchanges will be " made very plea sant" tothe Emperor when he is required to honour the bill which our capitalists will hold against him: FOREIGN MAIL PACKET _LIST.

Brent, the deputy coroner for West Middlesex, held an inquest at the Marquis of Granby, Green-hill, near Harrow, on the body of James Bodymeade, a youth of 18 years of age, whose death was caused in the ollowing manner. It appeared that on Monday last the deceased was viewing the operations of his uncle, ,who was removing some fallen trees on the estate of Mr. Foulger, in the immediate neighbourhood, when the accident occurred which deprived him of life. The trees in question were blocking up the carriage drive, one lying across another. Horsns were yoked to the upper tree with the intention of drawing it off the under one, when, contrary to expectation, as the traction power was put on, the under tree rolled, and knocking down the deceased, completely flattened his body and fractured his skull. He was picked up with blood issuing from his ears, hat remained sensible nearly until death, which took place on the following day. A verdict I of " Accidental death" was recorded. Amongst the recent arrivals at Alexandria from Australia we find the name of Mr. William Younghusband, of Adelaide.

The importance of this enter prising undertaking is beginning to be acknowledged and appreciated, not only in South Australia, but also in the neighbouring colonies, whose commerce will eventually bo so largely benefited and developed by means of the commu nication with the interior now established on this the only real river and extensively navigable watershed of the Australian continent. We doubt not that Mr. Young husband, on his arrival, will meet with a friendly welcom from the many Australians now resident in England. ROYAL INSTITUTION.—On Saturday the Rev. Alexander D'Orsey delivered his third lecture on the English language to a large and distinguished audience, including Mr. J. P. Kay Shuttleworth, Mr. Ellis, and other eminent scholars. Tho illustrative maps and diagrams were on a large scale, and extremely interesting..

Miss Grace Wh arton, one of the authors of ,t The Queens and th e Wi ts and Beaux of Society, " has a new work in the press on " The Literature of Society, with an introductory chapter on the Origin of Fiction." The new theatre at Baden-Baden will be inau gurated with a new comic opera, in two acts, by M. Berlioz. The plot, also from the pen of the composer, is taken from Shakspere. Meyerbeer's opera, "Les Huguenots," which has been performed in every European capital for years past, was represented in Naples, for the first time, a week or two since. LIFEBOAT SERVICES—DROGIIEDA, Feb. B.—Yes terdaY afternoon the brig Minerva, of Workington, struck, during some heavy winds from the east, on Drogheda Bar The lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution was imme diately launched to her assistance, and succeeded in rescu ing her crew of four men, and afterwards landing them in afet y. A communcation from Berlin, of the 4th, has the following :—" The reply of France to the Prussian counter-prepositions (commercial) arrived here yes terday. A number of the propositions of Prussia appear to have been declined, and a conference on the subject is to take place to-day. France already, on the application of Prussia, has expressed her willingness to extend the p eriod of transition, dur ing which the tariffs s hould be maintained at a certain high rate, and the real reduction shou ld not commence until the expiration of th a t ti me . Among the last c ounter-propositions of Prussia is ' one demanding the extension of that period until the Ist January, 1865 ; that is to say, until the ' ex piration of the treaty of the Zollverein."
