FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT IN THE WATERLOO- I SHARE MARKET-(THIS DAY). ROAD, AND LOAS 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.

During the past week the progress of business in the manufacturing distriats 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 mained 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 About £30,000 in gold was withdrawn from the Bank of England on Saturday.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 £44,463, and the Ethiope, from the West Coast of Africa, £B,BOO in specie. The traffic receipts of the Great Northern Rail way of Canada, for the week ending the 24th ult., anieuntei to £10,633. against £8,991 in 1861. Although the demand for discount accommoda tion has slightly abated, the rates continue very firm and few transactions are reported in private channels under the minimum of 21 per cent. There s eems 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 Gold continues to be withdrawn from the Bank o f England for exportation, about £30,000 having been taken away on Saturday. The following comments upon the recent pro gress of business appear in Messrs. H. W. llewes aary and Co.'s Price Current :—" While many b ranches of trade remain unsettled, the markets have been steady and moderately active since the settlement of the American difficulty. There is a la rge demand for consumption ; the transactions on speculative account have been considerable within the Past fortnight, and there are already symptoms of an extensive export demand when the navigation of the north of Europe opens. Th e s t oc k o f b u lli on held by the Bank of England exhibited a 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 gold 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 _ b eing pr o p osed to raise £2,000,000 to £4,000,000 here on the security of the French rentes of 4 per cent, interest. Accounts from the manufacturing districts co , itinue of an unsatisfactory character. The 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- Ments made at former periods. Under these cir cumstances the adoption ofshort time at the various mills makes further progress, and the number of operatives out of employment is still on the in crease." The half-yearly meeting of the Royston and Ritcbin Railway Company has been held to day, 'when a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent, per atituin was declared. Very little fluctuation has taken place in the Eng lish Stock Market to-day, and the transactions have been rather limited.

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 market 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 steadily at late rates. In other kinds, a fair business was transacted on former terms. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEAsuan.

Mr. Gritten said he took two rooms at No. 30, Gerrard street, Soho (ot 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 ha only had it a fortnight. jHere 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 bank 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 R as 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 Barters 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 50 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. 891 i 181 1 After a good deal of conflicting evidence, Mr. Woolrycb gave his decision at one o'clock, and said in every case where it was made out a knife was used he 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 £3. iption of seeds.

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. Litre i Est'ways. 00 Atlantic &St Lawrence k j Bom.,Baroda&.Cent Ind Gu. 5 per cent........ 203 Buffalo and. Laze Huron 204 Do.

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 P" The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, £5O.

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 o i 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 the 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 against the United States, on account of the boarding of an English 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 on annomacement may be imagined. x toil Iles 110 10 108 108 10 109 111 10 94 99i 10 97 99 0 1110 112 In 110 112 0 110 112 1101 a 1,15 i P 9 100 )0 97i 986 )f) 966 974 ;0 106 108 ;50, 11061 107 i loa 105 106 107 JOINT-STOCK BANKS. 100 Agra&UnitedService B • 60 86 88 861 40 Australasia all 65 66 65 / 25 Hank of Egypt all 21 22 100 'Balk. of London 50 British North American all 52 53 20 IChtd.Bank of India, &c. all 211 211 25 , Ch.

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, as advance in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. The bes.. 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 81bs. The best Downs realised 55 6d per 81bs. There were about 400 shorn sheep in the pens, and which sold at 8d per 81bs beneath those in the 'wool. About 100 lambs came to hand from Dorsetshire, but, owing to the prevailing cold weather, they sold heavily at 78 per 81bs. We have to report a slow sale for calves, at Thursday's decline in value. The supply was only moderate. Pigs were in somewhat improved request, at quite last week's currency. . Per Slb. to sink the offal. s. d. s. d.

(From the Hone; 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 them. We are in an age of forty million deficits, and surprise is a worn-out sensation. True, it is suspected that this h uge d e fi c i t i s 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 scend with accumulated weight upon the head of M. Fould or his sucessor. Is it p c shed partly into the floating debt ? Surely the amount of that debt was large enough before—certainly larger than the Government could conveniently float, or themarket conveniently bear. Has advantage been taken of the Government control over tension and other funds to stick floating securities into them, a la Busse ? What other devices have been resorted to? One thing only is certain—that the forty million deficit, lately acknowledged with an affec tation of frankness which proves 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 X 2,000,000 or £4,000,000 for three or six months came from bankers on this side, without being solicited by the 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 41 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 •ose 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 31-), 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 hended at present is a very moderate rise in the value of maney from its present level, which rightly viewed, is too low to be permanent, since it invites every kind of borrower to come and put his hand into our purse. A somewhat higher rate of interest 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" to the Emperor when he is required to honour the bill which our capitalists will hold against him. SINGULAR AND FATAL ACCIDENT.-011 Saturday afternoon Mr. G. S. 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, but remained sensible nearly until death, which took place on the following day. A verdict of " Accidental death" was recorded. Amongst the recent arrivals at Alexandria from Australia we find the name of Mr.WilliamYounghusband, of Adelaide. This gentleman lately occupied for a con siderable time the important colonial position of Premier in the South Australian Ministry. He is also well and favourably known for his public spirit and enterprise in opening up and promoting the navigation of the River Murray, having with his family accompanied Captain Cadell upon his first expedition, and succeeded in steaming 1,500 miles up the river. 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 be 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. Miss Grace Wharton, one of the authors of " The Queens and the Wits 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.

IMPRISONMENT OF BRITISH SUBJECTS, The Earl of CARNARVON said he was most anxious to put a question to the noble earl opposite, relative to the notice which he had given him previously. On Friday last he had referred to the imprisonment of a Canadian subject, under a warrant from Mr. Seward. Since that day he had I?srned that three other Eritish subjects , had been detained in a Federal fortress, and that alt liberation was denied until the oath of allegiance to the United States was taken. He thought if such was the fact the Government ought to take the most energetic steps to prevent such seizures for the future. The names of two of the parties were Charles Reed of Savannah from Liverpoool, Andrew Low, and an other person, whose name he did not at the moment remember. Earl RUSSELL said he could not take upon himself to say, as the noble earl opposite had done, that the Ame rican Government had acted altogether in a n illegal manner. In cases of emergency like the present, the President of America had claimed to be armed witit great power with respect to the arresting of persons supposed to be engaged in treasonable correspondence witii the Confede rates. He had not learned that personal ill-treatment had been offered those persons, neither had all access to them been refused. They were suspected of having been in correspondence with the South, and an investigation would of course take place, as Lord Lyons had been in cornmunicationiwith Mr. Seward, and the noble earl might be satisfied in every case in which the attention of Lord Lyons was desired, and in which it was found there was reasonable ground for interferenc3 that assistance would be given in the west prompt and energetic manner. {LEFT SPEAKING ] THIRD EDITION.

Heathcote, Mr. Deeds, Mr. Dunlop, Mr. Herbert, Mr. Bonham Carter, and the chairman of the select committee of standing orders. THE HARTLEY COLLIERY ACCIDENT. Mr. SHERI DA N gave notice that he would drawithe attention of the house to the subject of accidents in colleries, with a view t.) the prevention of loss of life, for which, he contended, under the existing state of the law, no proper provision was made. PAYMENT TO WITNESSES AT TRIALS AT SESSIONS AND ASSIZES. Mr. A. EGER roN asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether he intended to introduce during this Session any bill in relation to the allowances to witnesses at sessions and assizes. _ _ Si: G. GREY said that the subject was under the con sideration of the Government, and It was intended to re introduce the bill that was brought before the house last session. CHURCH RATES. In reply to Lord A. CHURCHILL, Sir G. GREY said that it was not intended by Govern ment to introduce any bill for the abolition of church rates. THE INCOME TAX. In reply to Sir H. WILLOUGHBY, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that there was no doubt there was some ground for complaint with reference to the assessment and collection of the income tax, but at the same time Government could not undertake these functions. It was considered necessary that the corn missionrs should have full powers in reference to the im position of the tax, and any inconvenience arising out of the collection of it, or the levying of it, was inherent in the principle of the tax itself. He defended the tax on the ordinay grounds of political economy. He denied that appeals against the assessment under this act were frequent or well founded. Mr. BENTINCK contended that the surcharges made under the provisions of the act were productive of consider able inconvenience, and should receive the attention of Government with a view to an amendment of the existing law. PAROCHIAL ASSESSMENTS BILL. Mr. CLIVE obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the law relating to parochial assessments. FIRES IN THE METROPOLIS. Mr. TIAN KEY moved for a select committee to inquire the exisl in g state of legislation, and of any existing &mange ments, f( r the protection of lite and property against fires in the metropolis. Mr. H. B. SHERIDAN said that this was a subject that required particular attention on the part of Government, and entered into details to sustain his position. Sir G. GREY said the law on this subject had not under gone anyalteration since 1774,and he considered the existing means for protection of life and property through accidents been very efficient. The right hon. gentleman referred irit terms of eulogy to the exertions of the fire brigades, and t a h l l a u t d t e h d e t s o u the e l t a w t e a s M o r n . e S t r h a a i d t wmoiogdh.t bei I s e u t b h ra o t gl e 2 d t, t o h h owever, vev com mittee with benefit to the public.

After some remarks from Sir H. WILLOUGHBY, the motion was agreed to. EAST INDIA STOCK TRANSFER. Sir C.
