North Western Railway.

sented that he was sent from the Camden station for the
accounts that were dee to the company. At the time he
produced a genuine paper which had been stolen from the
office of the company. In each case the prisoner asked for
the exact amount that was due to the company, and from
that fact it was suggested that the prisoner was in league
with some one in the office of the company. When the

Aarroa Sped, emgt-lookios man, 45 years of age,
described on the ahaege-sheet as • traveller, lodging at 191,
Great Dover-street, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Bee-
cham, charged with attempting to commit suicide under the
following extraordinary circumstances :
Mr. Jmisph Shaw, carver sad gilder, carrying on business
at No. 131, Great Dover-street, said that the prisoner and
his wife had lodged in his house about four months, and
they occupied the first floor. About 9 o'clock the previous
day wittier heard screamiog and cries of " Murder " pro-
ceed from the prisoner's apartment. He could distinctly
hear the prisoner's wife call out for help. Witness fearing
that murder might be committed at ono, proceeded up-
stairs to the prisoner's apartments, but the door wen locked.
Hearing the ecuMing and cries being continued, witness
sent for the police, and while he was waiting for them the
Corer jumped out of his back-room window into the yard

Mr. &velem asked the depth of the fall.
Witnea replied that it was ten or twelve feet. As soon
as he heard the fall he rushed down into the yard, and
found the prisoner lying doebled up and partially stunned.
The polioe then came in and he was picked up, and a surgeon
was sent for. Fortunately be had received so little itiju,7
that shortly afterwards he wss conveyed to the station.
hones. . . . . .

Mr. Burnham asked the prisoner what he had to may in
answer to the charge.
The prisoner, in a moat incoherent manner, mid be had •
lot to say spinet Mr. Shaw. He keeps a lodging-house, and
the moms are so constructed that everybody can see into
them. The Boors are glass, the walls are glass, and may -
body can see what takes plane.
Mr. Bambara was of opinion that the prisoner's mind
wan affected ; oossequently be should remand him for •
week, so that he might be examined by the medical gentle-
men of the gaol
Mr. Shaw said he believed his mind was affected, as his
conduct had been dram lately.
The prisoner was then remanded.

ALLEGED BRUTAL MANSLAUGHTER NEAR
LONDON BRIDGE.
LNQUEST.—(THIS DAY).
An inquiry was concluded this morning by Mr.
W. J. Payne, deputy-coroner for the City of London and
Southwark, at Guy's Hompital, respecting the death of
William Hayles, aged 36, who was alleged to have been
killed under circuinstsnose of great brutality.
Mts. Caroline Jones, wife of a clerk, said that on last
Friday fortnight, about two o'clock ia the afternoon, she saw
near London-bridge a dray driving right across a Greenwich:
omnibus in order to get on its own side of the way. They
were both just under the new railway bridge near the Wel-
lington clock, and were going in the direction of St. George's
Church, Borough, The back of the dray touched one of the
omnibus horses, witness believed, but it did no damage. The
omnibus driver then turned his vehicle out of it. course in
order to fix the dray against • lamp-poet. He
then cat the dray horse with his whip fearfully
shout the breast, covering it with blood and wheals. These
were two dreymen on the dray, and the driver of the omni-
bus streak savagely at one of them, and cut him dreadfully
and nearly took his eve out. Deceased then jumped off the
dray, and caught bola of the omnibus horses' heads. The
omnibus man made his horses rear up, and then lashed
them forwards. Deceased was of course thrown down,
and the omnibus went over him. The dray would
also have gone over him, but that witness rushed
forward and pulled him out of the way by the leg.
The omnibus man attempted to drive off, but
was stopped by several persona. When deceased was under
the omnibus • person ors the roof said, " You you
got under the omnibus on purpose to be run over." Witmer
caused hire to be removed to the hospital, where be died.
The omnibus had been driven with such force against the
dray as to smash in the spokes of the wheels of the latter.
Charles Brooks gave similar evidence. Williess remon-
strated with the driver of the omnibus for his cruelty in
using his whip against the two draymen in such • manner,
but he only laughed and said, "What is it to you!" Wit-
ness replied, " It is most unchristian, and if you were down
here I would punch your head."
Mr. G. T. Dunbar, 38, Limestreet, said that lie was
sitting on the box by the driver. The draymau had asked
the latter to goon, bathe was told to go on himself. The
omnibus driver "only flicked his whip" to prevent the
dray crushing his horses. He did not strike deceased—his
whip was not long enough. Deceased gave a flying leap at
the ride of the omnibus to attack the driver, and fell under
the wheels. The driver polled up directly. No one spoke
on the omnibus but • person who called the driver a
bound. Witness did not know why the driver was called
a honed. Witness would have used his whip under
similar circumstances.

The medical evidence proved that deceased died from the
injuries received, and that there were marks from the cute
of a whip on his persoo.
After a deal of other evidence of a very conflicting
character,
John Bokes, driver of Wheatley's Greenwich omnibus
6,543, denied having struck deceased. He only swished his
whip at him. The dray nearly knocked the omnibus over
the kerb. He did not see how waa killed.

The Ooroner having summed up, the jury returned a ver-
dict of "klanalaughter against John Bokes, for killing and
slaying William Haylea"
The accused was then committed to Newgata, but it was
understood that substantial bail would be tendered and
accepted during the forenoon.

MONEY MIRIL81:-.41,11& DAY.)

Two °Twos.

There is little improvement to-day in the prices
of public securities. A recovery of } per cent. his
taken place in the funds, but the general
tone of the markets is dull, owing chiefly to the
continued receipt of heavy accounts from the
Paris Bourse, combined with the absence of
speculation. English railways and foreign stocks,
in several instances, are quoted slightly lower
than they closed yesterday.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rents opened
at 67fr. 10c., being it per cent. lower than yester-
day. The heaviness of the Bonne is, it is said,
partly attributable to a notification from the Bank
of France that it will in future restrict its advances
on public securities.

Console are now quoted 921 to 1 both for money
and the account (August 6). The official business
report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Console,
for money, 921, }, 1 ; ditto for account,
921, 1 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 921, 93 ;

1081, 107/ ; ditto Four per Cent. Debentures,
1863, 100 ; ditto Bonds, 18s., 15s. prem.; and
Exchequer Bills, 3s. prem.

Spanish Passive Bonds and Certificates, and
Italian stocks, including the Maremmana Railway
Loan, are weaker to-day. There have been
inquiries, however, for Sardinian Bonds.
Mexican exhibit a alight improvement. Greek are
unaltered, at 334 to f. There is likewise no change
in Anglo-Turkish Bonds, the 1854 Loan being quoted
93 to 4 ; the 1858, 70 to 4 ; and the 1862,
67 to 4 ; but the Consolidia have fallen
per cent., being now quoted 494 to 4.
Transactions are recorded as follows :-Brazilian,
1852, 1858, 1860, 93 ; Chilies Six per Cents.,
1014 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 854 ;

Consols have improved i per cent., being now
quoted 921 to i, botlrfor money and the 6th of
August.

The stock markets are still under the influence of
the uneasiness which prevails with respect to the
course of affairs on the Continent. As usual at
this season of the year, prices are rendered addi-
tionally sensitive by the want of speculative sup-
port, the majority of the operators being much
more disposed to close their accounts for the
coming vacation than to enter into fresh engage-
ments.
About 4,0001. in gold was sent into the Bank
yestecday.
At this period last year the railways were re-
ceiving the full tide of the Exhibition traffic. The
receipts now exhibit, in consequence, a compara-
tive decrease, the extent of which, however, is only
moderate. The London and North Western return
shows this week a decrease of 2,4731., com-
pared with last year ; the Great Eastern a decrease
of 3811. ; the London and South Westerns decrease
of 6421. ; the Great Northern a decrease of 2,752/. ;
and the Great Western a decrease of 2,2851.

The committee of the Stock Exchange have
appointed to-day (Thursday) a special settling
day in the shares of the New Theatre Company
(Limited), which, however, are not to be officially
marked.

The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the
London and County Bank is convened for the 6th
of August.
The letters of allotment of the Company of
African Merchants were distributed yesterday.
The certificates for the new shares of the Com-
mercial lJnion Assurance Company are now ready
for issue.
The report of the directors of the Scottish
Australian Investment Company, to be submitted
at the half-yearly meeting on the 31st inst., states
that the profit derived from the company's opera-
tions in the colony, during the period now reported
on, is considerably larger than that of the previous
half-year.

With reference to the market for American
securities, Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite reports as
follows :

The intelligence received by the Canada on the 20th inst.
gave the London market for American securities a con-
siderable impetus, and more business has been transacted
than for some weeks peat. Illinois Central shares at one
time touched 25 discount, but have since slightly reacted,
and close 27 to 26 discount. Erica remain steady st the
recent improvement. Railway bonds have also advanced in
price, and close firm at quotations. For United States Five
per Cent. Bonds there has been a renewed demand on Dutch
amount, sad the price has advanced 5 dola.
The creditors of Messrs. Morgan and Adams, of
the Hereford, Roes, and Arehenfield Old Bank,
have decided that the estate shall be wound up
under the supervision of the Court of Bankruptcy.

At the commencement of business the foreign
stock market was &leer, and a slight recovery took
place in some of the more speculative stocks, but
this was lost in the afternoon, and the market
closed with a dull appearance.
The shares of the new financial companies im-
proved in the morning, but relapsed in the after-
noon, and closed scarcely better than yesterday,
International bring last quoted 41 to 41 prem. ;

recovering to die., relapsed in the afternoon to 1

The share% of the London and Brazilian Bank
Were in demand, and have risen about 11. An im-
provement also took plane in Alliance Bank, British
and American Exchange, and Oriental Bank ; but
Continental Bank, English and Irish, Bank of
Hindustan, Imperial, London and Buenos Ayres,
Midland, and Union Bank of England and Prance
were rather lower. Generally it would appear that
realisations predominate In this department of the
Stock Exchange, owing (thistly. no doubt, to the
pressure of calls on the shares in new establish-
ments. Royal Mail Steam slums have improved,
' while Oriental Inland Steam remain heavy.

Melbourne, at which the scheme wee entertained of equall-
ing the Customs import dues throughout the Australian
Colonies. Although the delegates at this Conference were
an pl' deed to secrecy, it has eked out, or at least it is our
peered, that the duties on tea, rim, nun, and some other
articles, will be raised, and • good deal of excitemeat barn
consequently earned in these articles. The customs re-
eeipte for the present month will be considerably larger thee
they have ever bees for any prowler month.
