FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN
RAILWAY-FRIGHTFUL DEATH.-(THIS DAY.)

This morning an accident of a fatal character,
and which was attended with moat appalling results, hap-
pened at the coal department of the Great Northern Rail.
way, York-read, St. Pancras, the victim being a shooter
of carriages, of the name of George Beeson, residing in
Sidney-street, Caledonian mad.
. . . . .

Frrim inqdries made on the spot, it appeared that about
8 o'clock, the deceased, who bad been shunting some opal-
waggons, had slipped on a line of rails just as an engine
was being backed. The consequence was that the
deceased was knocked down, and before the en-
gine could be stopped, it wan partially over him ;
the fire-box of the engine, which is only a few inches
from the ground, caught the deoined, and must have
smashed nearly every bone is hi body, as it dragged
him along the ground for sins distance, and it was not
nail it reached the points that the body was released.
As the engine was changing from one rail to the
other it turned the deceased on one aide, and turn-
ing his head under the wheel., cat off the top portion of it.
The sight which the mangled corpse presented was most
fearfoL As quickly as possible the unfortunate man's re-
mains were picked up and taken to the Albion public-house,
York-road, where they now await the coroners inquiry.
The deceased, a most steady man, and who was very touch
respected, and had been in the employ of the Great North-
ern Railway for year,, has left a wife and two children to
lament his untimely loss. From all that could be gathered
no blame is attached to anyone—the rosier being purely
socidentsL The engine-driver, it is stated, was not on the
engine, having gone to breakfast, the minion in charge of
the enifiee being the stoker.
The nicest will be held on Monday by Dr. Lankeeter,
at the Albion pablic-hour.

Autos in Lunacy, ke., so long as she was in the dark),
Vek notes of all that paned. and wove them into a short

initlted. Her heed it was, not mine, which drew from life
the imbecile old commissioner. (The oommissioner, who

from the life by Edwani Fletcher, another sane lunatic.) In

missile to enter the rifling. The trials were of a preliminary
nature. intended to esoertain the general capabilities of the
gun. mod to test the velocity of cylindrical shot of various
weights with gnoluated charges of powder. The initial
velocity was taken by the apparatus designed by Mr. New-

similar to that used at Shoehuryoess. With a projectile
weighug 100 lbs., and a charge of 20 lbs. of powder, the
iaittal velocity attained was 1,508 feet per second, although
the wind blew in fitful gusts of half a gale across the
range. Several shots went through the targets, which were
placed at a distance of 1,000 yards sad 1.500 yards. The
weight of the gun is about nine tons, and the bore is 8.12

Haxr-rse4 Two o'Ctocx.
Consols are unchanged, at WI to for money,
and 91a to j fur the account.
Both at the Bank of England and in the general
market the demand for money yesterday increased.
The terms fur good bills were 51 to 6 per cent. A
number of Australian bills fell due yesterday, but the
increased movement generally observable is doubt-
less caused chiefly by the advance of the quarter.
In the Stock Exchange there was a strong demand
for loans on government securities at the increased
rate of 411 to 5,4 per cent.
About 52,000/. in gold was Rent into the Bank
yesterday, and 40,000 sovereigns were withdrawn for
Alexandria.

The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were
rather dull, but there was scarcely any variation
from Tuesday's rates.
Telegrams from Bombay quote the exchange at
2s. 10., shoe it.g a rise of N., or 211 per cent.,
compared with that previously received. There
was consequently a decidedly increased demand to-
day fur bar silver, and a considerable amount was
bought for transmission by the Bombay steamer of
the 27th inst. Included in the total taken yester-
day was the supply by the last West India packet,
which was sold at 55.1141. per ounce, showing a rise
of id. compared with the price obtained for the
previous supply. Iu the interval the market has
been flat, with limited transaction•. The present
advices from Bombay extend to the 2t'th of Fe-
bruary, at which date it is believed that large
quantities of cotton had arrived from the interior
for shipment to England. Accounts would also
have been received from this side of an advance in
the value of silver, owing to the receipt of a higher
rate of exchange from Calcutta, and of our Bank
rate being at 8 per cent. Now that the cotton
season has fairly commenced in India, increased
shipments of silver from this side seem to be
looked for.

An important decline, ranging from 2/, to 311
per cent., has taken place at Bombay in tLe value
of the rupee paper. The Four per Cent. was
quoted 92 ; the Five per Cent., 1021 ; and the
Fire-and-a-Half per Cent., 110.

At Paris, Vienna, and St. Petersburg, the cur-
rent rate of discount is 6 per cent. • Hamburg
and Berlin, 4 ; Turin, 7 • Frankfort, ; Amster-
dam, 5 ; and Brussels, 4} per cent.
The question of a settlement in the shares of the
Australian and Easteru Navigation Company came
before the Committee of the Stock Exchange yester-
day. Several of the directors from Liverpool were
present, and laid before the committee a printed
reply to the allegations recently wade with regard
to the allotment of the shares, to the peculiarand
extensive purchases, to the re,,erve of shares made
fur Australia, and to the other points ou which
they have been attacked. The committee will meet
again on Monday, when it is believed they will
give their decisiou as to whether a settlement shall
take place or nut.
It appears that though the number of shares ap-
plied for in the Credit MobilierAimited) amounted
to three times the number to be allotted, the di-
rectors have adopted the laudable plan of issuing
no letters of regret, and giving an allotment to
every applicant.

- - -
The directors of the Standard Bank of British
South Africa yesterday made a call of 5/. per
share, payable ou the 21st April.
At an adjouned ordinary half-yearly general
meeting of the shareholders in the Auglo-loniau

year, free of income tax, was declared, payable on
Monday, April 4. The chairman stated that fiat;
prospects of the company continue to be very goo'.
The appointment of Mr. John Robert Hall as a
director was confirmed.

At the annual meeting of tae Briton Medical
and General Life Association yesterday, the report
stated that 2,328 policies had been issued, the new
annual premiums bring 18,3721. 2.. The total
income for the year was 113,6811. 2.. 91, of which
43,100/. had been carried to the reserve fund. The
