MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEIV,s. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Bank of England return completed to the 4th September shows some rather unfavourable features ; the bullion, owing to the circulation of coin in the agricultural districts, has only been slightly increased,notwithstanding the arrivals from Australia and the Continent. The reserve of note, has also been diminished to the extent of nearl3 half a million. In the private deposits there is a diminution to about a like amount, and the other securities show a rather large addition, notwith standing the easy tone of the Money Market. The other items of the balance sheet and the changes they present will be seen in the subjoined table:— Active Circulation .. £02,293 910 Increase • . 544,880 Stock of Bullion .. .. 13,118,101 Increase 13,779 Rest .. • • .. 3,783,761 Increase .. 307,490 Public Deposits .. 4,284,485 Increase .. 219,776 Other Deposits 12,195,813 Decrease .. 577,578 Seven Day and other Bills 714,017 In crease .. • . • • • • 44,951 Government Securities .. 10,360,880 Increase .. 225,000 Other Securities .. 17,702,085 Increase .. .. 300,590 Notes unemployed .. .. 6,673,390 Decrease .. .• • • • • 463,485 About £37,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. he discotint market continues in a very quiet state, and the rates remain steady. During the last few days the operations in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets have not been very extensive ; prices, however, have been generally well sustained for most of the principal staples. Tea has maintained fully previous rates, and good qualities of sugar and coffee have been in moderate demand at fall prices. Rice has been actively dealt in at enhanced rates, chiefly for expprt ; but spices and fruit have slightly declined. Tallow has been dull, the principal dealings having been on speculative account. In the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, business continued rather quiet, but prices were well supported. The sales were 8,000 bales. The highest range of prices attained in the Eng lish Stock Market yesterday afternoon has not been maintained, the Bank return having led to a few sales, which have caused diminished firmness. Consols, however, have not varied to any material extent, the latest quotations being 93 938 for money and the 10th in't; and 93/ 1 for October. The New Threes are 911, and the Reduced 911 1; Exchequer Bills, March, 2s. dis. to 2s. prem.; ditto, June, Bs. prem ; India 5 per Cents.

There has been very little activity in the Foreign Market, but prices, in some instances, have shown increased firmness. Turkish 6 per Cents. have im proved to 811 I; ditto, 1858, 67/ 681; ditto £lOO Bonds to 701 ; Buenos Ayres to 86 ; ditto Deferred to 29; Equador to 151; and Mexican to 211. Spanish remain at 491. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have not been of a very extensive character. Prices, how ever, are generally well supported. Caledonians have improved 103. to 15s. ; North Westerns, 10s. ; North Easterns (Leeds), 10s. ; Midlands, ss. ; and South Easterns, ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines have remained in active without any material alteration in value. South Lombardo-Venetian are firm at 17a, and Bahia and San Franciso at 12k, 121 ; Great Luxemburg have improved to 81, '4 ; East Indian to 1011, 1021 ; Great Indian Peninsula to 991 ; Great Southern of India to 99/, -I ; and Scinde to 102 ; Great Wes tern of Canada are flat at 9i. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares show little variation of importance: Bank of Bri tish North America have improved 10s., Ottoman Bank, 55., London Joint-stock declined 55., and Australian Agricultural, ss.

With regret s ith DE A TH OF TOM SEBRIGHT.--I tis that we halm to record the death of Tom ebright, the senior sportsman in England, which occurred on Sunday last at his house in Milton-park. The event was sa what suddeN, as he had only b een laid up three or fourd ra ay e. s ear with the malady which proved fa tal—i nflammati on o f the houn ds chest. T om h a i b ee n with the FitzwilliamA for no less than forty- one y e ars, and it was only last y that a testimonial of the value of 800 guineas was presented to him —a fact which sufficiently proves that his zeal and cou r t esy in the hunting field met with the appreciation which they , certainly merited. WORMS IN THE EYES OF GEESE.—The follow. ing letter appears in the Irish Farmer's Gazette :—" The most singular thing I ever heard of has happened to our geese this year. They are all going blind, and pining away , I had one of th em kill e d ; an d w h en we opene d the eye ball, a small bl ac k worm, j us t lik e a young leec h , came out. It was very lively; and when it was put into water, it swam about exactly as a leech does. I sent the insect, alive, in a bottle of water, to Dublin, to Mr. Small, of Aungier-street, who is our veterinary surgeon He has ordered us to cut open the eye-balls of those affected, with a lancet or sharp Perauife, SHARE MARKET.-(THIS DAY).

Both red and white qualities of new moved off steadily at quite Monday's advance of 2s. to 3s. per quarter ; but in old samples sales progressed slowly on former terms. The demand for foreign wheat was by no means active. Nevertheless, importers were firm in their demands, and the quotations were well maintained. Floating cargoes of grain were in steady request at very full prices. We were very moderately supplied with barley, and the ,rade ruled firm at extreme rates. The business doing in malt was, for the most part, con fined to tho finer qualities at previous rates. In the value of oats no 'change took place. The trade was firm. Both beans and peas changed hands slowly at late cur rencies. The flour trade was firm, and prices were well supported. ARRIVALS THIS 'WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

TEA.—The operations have been limited, but good and fine qualities fully sustain previous rates. SUGAR.—Good and fine descriptions of West India have been in fair demand at late values, but foreign qualities have slightly declined, owing to the large quantity on offer. In the refined market there has been a steady business tran sacted, without any material change in quotations. COFFEE.—For the better descriptions of plantation Cey lon there has been a more active inquiry, and full rates have been readily obtained at public sale; ordinary qualities have also sustained previous qu o tations. RICE.—The demand for export has increased, and prices generally tend upwards for good and fine qualities of Java and East Indian.

THE FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT A 2 LEY2IBII TOWN. CORONER'S INQUIRY.-(THIS DAY.) At twelve o'clock the Coroner, Mr. Humphrey, resumed the inquiry at the Vestry-hall, St. Pancras-road. Mr. Metcalf, the barrister, appeared for the London and North-Western and North London Railway Companies ; Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, appeared for the relatives of Emma English; Mr. Charles Watson for Elizabeth Allen. Captain Yolland, the Government Inspector, was in attendance. The first witness called was, Mr. George Greenwood, Allen-terrace, Fairfield-row, Bow, who identified the bodies of the two boys who were killed. The eldest was eleven and the youngest seven years of age. Mr. James Rees, 21, Walcot-place, identified the body of Mary Sellis, as that of his sister. Mrs. Elizabeth Turner identified the body of Mai y Clement. The deceased was her cousin and 44 years of age. Mr. Henry Stacey, Bird-in-hand •yard, Bow, identified he body of Eva Stacey. She was about eleven years of Mr. Thomas Saunders, of Harold-terrace, Bow, engine driver, identified the body of Richard Saunders. James Hills, Portland-street, Stepney, identified the body of Richard Hills, as that of his brother. The de ceased was about 32, and was a telegraph clerk. Mr. William Emmerson, of North-place, Queen-square. The deceased, Elizabeth Allen, was brought to my surgery on Monday evening, about half-past eight, She died in consequence of a fractured neck. Mr. J. D. Hill, house-surgeon to the Royal Free Hospi tal, said—Thesleecased,Emma English was admitted to,the institution on Monday. She died an hour afterwards from concussion of the brain. Mr. Willis, house-surgeon of Middlesex Hospital, said— The deceased man, Standing, was brought to the &spite' on Monday quite dead. The organs of the abdomen were thrust up into the chest, which caused death. The two Greenwoods were admitted at the same time. Both died in consequence of ruptured liver. Mr. S. Ringer, house-surgeon, 'University Hospital, said —Mary Sellis died in consequence of concussion of the brain Rhoda Oliver died from rupture of the liver; Clara Maria Clements died from fractured ribs and injuries to the lungs ; Eva Stacey died from fractured skull and fractured leg ; Richard Saunders died from fractured skull ; and Edward Hills from rupture of the abdomen and other wounds. William Hall identified the deceased, George H. Bolton. He was a fireman on Hampstead Junction Railway. Mr. Ringer (the house surgeon) recalled—He said the deceased died yesterday in University Hospital from scalds. Mr. IV. Yeomans identified the body of John Yeomans as that of his brother. Mr. Ringer said he died in consequence of a fractured neck. The Coroner said he had been informed that there was a witness who it was very desirable should be examined, and as he was in a most precarious condition, he thought it would be desirable for the jury to proceed to the University Hospital and take the injured man's depositions. The jury could then also view the body of Boulter. This course was agreed to, and while the conveyance for the jury was being got ready, the Coroner said, in order not to lose time, they would proceed with the examination of witnesses. John Perkins, the driver of the ballast train, was then called, he said the flagman was holding the punts at the time. I had been conveying ballast for Bor 9 days. 20 is the regular number of trucks for a train. When I saw the train coming I opened my whistle. Not the least notice was taken of it. I foresaw there would be a colli • sion, and to.d my mate there would be an accident. I was not in any way injured by the collision. All I saw of the collision was that the excursion train was coming at a great speed. I did not see the engine run off the line or turn over, because the trucks were across the line. I saw the effects of the collision about ten minutes after it occurred. I saw some of the excursion train carriages on the left hand side of the em bankment. At this time my engine and one truck was on the down-line, and the remainder on the six foot and the up-line. I did not signal after the accident had occurred. I have been seven years in the employ of the company. Examination by Corener continued—When I went on the siding the engine was attached to the trucks. I then opened the whistle for a signal to the policeman at the Kentish Town station. I got an answer to my signal from him. His name is Rayner. He waived his hand meaning by that that I was to leave the yard. 1 came out after seeing both signals, the one at the station and the auxiliary one on the down line for Camden• town. Both signals " blocked" the line. I then came out from the aiding. The guard detached the engine from the trucks and proceeded on the down line and recrossed again on the up line. My flagman was at the points. His name is Stuart. I mean that he held the points for me to get on the line. There was no pointsman there but my signalman. He held the handle of both points. Having recrossed to the up line the engine was again attached to the trucks by Stuart,. The effect of that was that the engine was in front of the trucks; she was in the first instance at the rear. Altar the flagman had turned me on the down line again, I was then driving the train across the line. The train consisted of 18 trucks and break van. The signals when I crossed the line was standing at " Danger." After I had proceeded for a short time, I saw the excursion train. Be fore I got the engine clear of the up-line I saw it coming. I took it to be an excursion train by its following so closely after the regular train. I had waited for the regular train to go by. I knew there was ono due about that time. While I waited for the regular train I was on the down line. As soon as the regular train passed I opened the whistle. I had not the slightest idea that an excursion train was due about the same time as regular one. We are furnished with information relative to the time and run ning of the reguiar trains, but not of the excursion trains. When I saw the train coming I kept onward to get my train clear if I could. I was not enabled to get it clear, and a collision took place. When I first saw the train coming she was near the Kentish Town station. She seemed to me to be going at quite 40 miles an hour. She was going fully at that speed. She had not passed the station when 1 first saw her. She did not attempt to pull up at Kentish-town station. It was not usual for excursion trains to stop at Kentish-town without they aro timed to do so. The result of the collision was to knock a great many of my trucks to pieces, and sent them over the right hand side of the embankment. The second truck from the engine was the first struck. The engine and first ;truck escaped uninjured. The fire man was riding with me. The guard was at the back. I am an engine-driver in the employ of the London and North-Western Railway. I was employed on the line on Monday evening, the 2d instant, removing ballast from Bushy to Kentish-town. I recollect arriving at about 5 30 p.m. at Kentish-town. I discharged the ballast, and then went to the Camden. road for fuel and water. I returned to the siding. I had a guard with me at that time. It was about five minutes past seven. , Juror—How do you come to know the time so exactly then ? Witness—l looked at the clock in the Camden yard. By Mr. Park, counsel for the Kentish Town signalman —I could not have got back from Camden Town earlier than I did, after taking in fuel and water. There was a signal between Hampstead and Kentish-town stations. If the signal stood at " danger," the excursion train ought not to have been coming at so great a speed. By Mr. Wyatt—l had to travel about a mile and a half to get the fuel and water. There had been no unnecessary delay in delivering the ballast. There were other engines beside my own getting water and fuel. I can't say how many—not whether there were two or half a dozen. I did not feel alarmed at the approach of the train. I did the best I could to prevent it. By Mr. Wilson, a juror—We have no particular time for leaving Bushey. We leave as soon as we get loaded. We have papers given to us relative to the ordinary trains, and our orders were to keep clear of them. We have no informa tion regarding other trains, and were never told when they were coming. If the danger signal was on at Kentish-town I should not pass it as the line would be blocked. That signal was not up when I passed, but as soon as I had passed I knew the danger signal was placed up. I can't say how long it remained up. I know it was up when I was shunting. When I saw the train coming I did not look at the signals. I did all I could to prevent a collision. The main signal was between me and the coming excursion train. I did not look at it. Mr. Metcalf—He has said he was using his utmost exer tions to prevent a collision. By the Coroner—The engine drawing the excursion train was what is called a " tank engine," and was travel ' ling in front. By Mr. Lewis—l produce the book of regulations. [Book handed in.] I bring up my own flagman and guard. I saw the flag in the man's hand, while with the other he turned my train across the line. I did not see the train coming when the man first had hold of the points. This was about two minutes before the collision. It was less than a minute from the time I saw the engine that the accident occurred. Mr. Metcalf—The train he has said was coming forty miles an hour, . Witness continued—The passenger trains are signalled in the ordinary way when a ballast train is on the line. I always see that the signals are at danger before I com mence shunting. The guards always book the time in shunt ing. The book is sent to Mr. Lamb. Everything done during the day is entered in a book.

Mr. Lewis—Were you not asked about the signals? Witness—Yes. Mr. Lewis—Although you had previously said they were at "Danger ?" Witness—Yes. Every time I crossed the line I looked at the signals, excepting last time, when I saw the train coming. I did not look at anything but it. I have had the book I produce since' the 4th August, 1560. The old rules had been entered in it. I have only been an engine driver about 13 months. I was previously occu pied as a fireman. I had never driven an engine before I did so on this line. Before I acted as fireman I was a cleaner. By Mr. Metcalf—Every station-master has the power to shunt a train when a train is expected. We never come out of the siding without the signal is given to us from Kentish-town. That signal was given before I left it on Monday evening, and I a'so saw that the danger signal was up. There was no appearance of anything being done to stop the approaching train except shutting off the steam. If the danger signal was up at Kentish-town, the driver of the excursion train ought not to have passed it under any circumstances. If the auxiliary signal was up between Hampstead and the Kentish-town station he ought to have stopped. By the Coroner—The train which preceded the excur- sion train had no accident light behind it. It ought to have had one to show that an excursion train, not a regu lar train, was following. By Colonel Yolland--The lamps were lit in the station signal and on the down line auxiliary. I could not see the up auxiliary from where I was standing. Before the accident I was:driving the tender first, and I had a red light showing to Kentish-town, and a white one towards Cam den-town. The ordinary train was a little behind time, and it was about five or six minutes after that the excursion train passed. . This having concluded the examination of this witness the'eoroner and jury then proceeded to the Westminster Hospital to take the evidence referred to at the opening of the proceedings. When the coroner and the jury arrived at the Hospital A was found that the poor man was so ill that his evidence could not be taken in public. He was, therefore, screened round, and the coroner, in the presence of Col. Yolland, took his evidence, the jury ani the other persons who accompanied them remaining outside. On their return to the Inquest Room at twenty minutes to six, The Coroner read the evidence of Charles Cox, a pas senger in the excursion train, and George Woodley, the signal man. The evidence of Cox was to the following effect. He stated he was a signal-man on the North London Railway, At the time of the accident he was riding in the break van in front of the train, and next the engine. He did not notice the auxiliary signal, but at the Kentish. town station the signal stood " All right." The danger signal he was quite sure was not on. Hewes looking out to see all was right, and looked out nearly all the way. The guard had men tioned.just before, "We're off to Camden without steam." He (witness) saw the danger from the trucks being on the line. He could not say at what rate they were going, as he was not in the habit of riding. The white light at the Kentish station was turned on. He was sure it stated all was right, George WoodleY's evidence was to the following effect. He said he was on the break van with Cox, and saw at the Kentish-town station the signal denoting " all right." He did not notice any light on the ballast train. He saw the trucks 50 or 60 yards before the collision. The excur sion train might have been going a little sharp at the time, but he could not tell at what rate. George Webster, guard of the ballast train, said—l ac companied the train to take in fuel. It was hear seven o'clock. The engine was attached to the trucks when it started from the siding. The driver sounded his whistle three times, and the signalman at the station put up his hand to mean " All right, come out." I mean by the danger signals those used both day and night. The engine brought the trucks out. The train came to a standstill, and the engine was detached and put in front of the trucks. I was holding the points for the ballast train to turn it on the down line. The signal was still up. I did not notice them after. I stood still when I saw a collision must take place, and I saw the up .train run into the trucks. It struck the second one. I don't know how the signal stood at the Kentish-town station when the train passed through. I never noticed the signal before the ballast train came out of the siding. I had a lamp in my hand, not a flag. When I saw the up. train coming I showed my red light. I heard the engine whistle of the ballast train. The ordi nary train was about five minutes late. I should think about 12 minutes elapsed before the excursion came up. I don't know anything about the time the excursion train was due. There were no lights at the back of the regular train or "excursion boards." All was done by both parties, as far as my judgment will allow me to say, to prevent a collision. I did not notice how the signals stood after the accident at the Kentish-town Sta tion. By Mr. Wilson—The guard has charge of the ballast trains. We have no list of arrivals of the excursion trains. I first saw the excursion train at the Kentish-town Station. I did not look at the signals at that moment. The driver of the excursion train I should think could have seen the red light I showed him. By Mr. Lewis—l was employed on the line a platelayer before I was engaged as a guard. I did not know that six excursion trains were coming up. I did not know there was one. I don't know that any provision was made for those excursion trains. Our orders were to work between the ordinary trains. I am positive the red light at the Kentish-town station was up before I left the siding. There is no doubt about that. The auxiliary down signal was also up. These were the only two signals I could see. I don't call 7in the evening dusk. I should say dusk is about half-past 7. The red signal is generally put up in the month of Septem ber before seven. It was my duty to see that the red light was up to protect the down line. The witness was then further examined with respect to the signals at Kentish town station, and at the termination of his examination the inquiry was adjourned until to• morrow.

This morning, Mr. Langham, the deputy-coroner for Westminster, resumed the inquiry into the cause of the death of Mary Maloney, alleged to have been stabbed in the neck with a clasp knife, by her husband, William Maloney, at their residence, No. 2, Leg-court, Peter-street, West minster. At the conclusion of the evidence, which is little more than has already appeared in the police reports, The Jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against William Maloney. Partridge shooting commenced on Monday last, the Ist of September falling this year on a Sm.day. From the accounts which reach us the birds are plentiful and strong in the wing, and the result is good sport and in most cases a full game bag. THE BIRKENHEAD DOCKS.—At the weekly meet ing of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board yesterday, it was resolved to adapt the entrances to the Morpeth Dock at Birkenhead to the purposes of graving docks ; but the proposal of Mr. Bold and Mr. J. Laird to enlarge the en trance to the great float to 400 or 600 feet, and to make it available as a graving dock, was rejected by 16 to 3. DEATH OF ANOTHER ALPINE TOURIST.—The Swiss papers record another accident to Alpine tourists. The victim on this occasion is Mdme. Fanny Gamier, Paris, who was travelling with her husband in the Bernes, Oberland, and fell into a torrent called the Lutschine, a Gundewalde, where she was drowned, in spite of all efforts to save her. The Russian journals announce that a remark able geological phenomenon has just occurred in the Caspian Sea, an island having risen from the waters near Baku, on the western coast. The captain of the schooner Turkmen, who first discovered it, states that, except the upper crust,:the soil of this new island was quite moist and very warm, which shows that it was of ver y recent forma tion. It is 18 feet above t he level of the wat er , and 12 miles from the island of Swinoj. THE YELVERTON MARRIAGE CASE.--A Commis sion has been opened in Dublin from the Court of Session by the commissioner, Mr. Crichton, of the Scotch bar, to take proof in the action of decla ra t or o f marr i age i n the teh bar, Yelverton an again st Mr.d solici tor, Edinburgh, appeared for Mrs. Yelverton, and Mr. Mil ler, of the Scotch bar, and Mr. P. Adam, solicitor, Edin burgh, appeared for Major Yelverton. Proof was adduced by Major Yelverton to establish that he had been a Protes tant, or had professed to be a Protestant, 12 months before the marriage ceremony by Father Mooney at Rostrevor, which, if proved, would render the Irish marriage null. Four witnesses were examined—viz., Archdeacon Knox, of Lorrha ; the Hon. Letitia Yelverton, sister of the major ; Mrs. Colonel Lloyd, and Mr. Dyer, residing at Ballyquirk Castle, who gave evidence that the major, when residing with his family at Belle Isle, sometimes went with them to the parish church. The commission will next be proceeded with at Newry and at Rostrevor. It was objected (on be half of Mrs. Yelverton) in the course of the proof taken on Tuesday, that the question "whether the mojor was a Pro testant," could not and ought not to be put to the witnesses without first defining what a " Protestant" is, and a defini tion of the word " Protestant" was given by Archdeacon Knox to the effect that it meant every person who protested against Popery. The evidence in this ease is all takend fr o o w l : in writing, because there is an appeal upon the facts the Court of Session to the House of Lo rds, where the case may ultimately terminate. The proceeding of the com- boat was . . after poon i :noverladen t l h u e g- b b o o n a t t , s , mission were private.—lrish Times.
