A BAD ACCIDENT happened yesterday on board
the Severn after she had arrived is Southampton water.
The steamer had been fastened to the West India buoy,
opposite Nutley Abbey, some short time, when, at about
half-peat sin the morning, she was about to lire her last
salute gun. The master at arms, named Jeremiah Lucas,
was ramming home the charge, when the gun exploded,
and blew the muter's right hand off. He went on deck in
great agony, quite unconscious that he bad last his hand.
The surgeon of the ship, Dr. Schuyler, was in immediate
attendance, and applied the torniquet to the arm. Drs.
Schuyler and Wiblin immediately held a consultation, and
the operation of cutting off the arm below the elbow was
instantly performed, and Lucas is likely to do well. The
gun bad been find before the accident, and could not
have been effectually sponged.

daring the war, and was ofacially mentioned for his services
at the capture of Oswego, in 1814. The deceased admiral
was nominated a Knight Commander of the Royal Hano-
verian Onelphic Order by the late King William IV., the
15th January, 1836. His commissions bore date as follow:—

Captain, 18th beg., 1814; Scar-Admiral (retired), 2n
Sept, 1860.

MONEY MARKET.

SATURDAY Zymase.
The English funds opened rather flatly this morn-
ing, but soon experienced en 'dunes of about 1 per
cent. The upward tendency was then checked by
the receipt of further telegraphic despatches confirm-
ing oar statement of yesterday relative to movements
of the Russian forces on the Danube; but at the
close increased firmness was observable, owing partly
to the receipt of improved quotations from Paris.
At the close of the house Consols were quoted 1 per
cent. higher than they left off yesterday, and after
the authorised hours a further advance of k per cent.
was established. Purchases have been induced by a
statement prevalent in well-informed quarters that
the Swedish ambusador has notified to our cabinet
the desire of his government to give in its adhesion
to the treaty of the 2nd December. Reinvestments
on account of the recipients of the dividends have
also contributed to strengthen the market.
At Paris to-day the bourse showed more
and the French funds eloped about 1 per osoitt.=
than yesterday. Tne telegraphic report trom 'Vienna
shows continued flatness, and the Austrian funds
have again declined. The other continental stock
markets show a reaction after the late rise. At
Frankfort, Austrian stock has fallen nearly one per
cent,. At Berlin, Russian stocks have fallen, but at
Hamburg the late rise in these securities is well
maintained.
Consols opened at 911 to 1 for the Bth Feb.,
advanced to 921 to 1, and, after a partial reaction,
stood at 3 o'clock at 92/ to 1. Subsequently the price
was quoted 921 to 1. For money the 3 o'clock price
may be given at 911 to 921. The official business
report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Console, for
money, 911, 1, /, 92 ; ditto for account, Bth of
February, 92, 91 j, 921, 92, 921. Three per Cent.
Reduced, 911, 1. New Three per Cents., 921, 1,
92, 921, 921. Thirty years Annuities, expiring in
1859, 4 3.16. Bank Stock, 2081. Three-and-a-
Half per Cent. Exchequer Bonds, falling payable in
1858, 991 ; ditto, 1859, 991.
The extreme variation in Consols this week has
been 11 per cent., the highest price attained having
been 921 (for account), snd the lowest 911. The
market closed to-day no less than 11 per cent. higher
than last Saturday.
Exchequer Bills remain steady at 4s. to 7s. prem.
In India Bonds transactions are marked at 12s. to 14s.
prem.
Foreign stocks were steady, at yesterday's quota-
tions. Turkish scrip was sensibly better, touching
761, and closing at 761 to 1. The " contango" to
the new account was to 5-16 per cent. At 3 o'clock
Russian Five per Cents. were quoted 100 to 102 ;
ditto Four-and a-Half per Cents., 89 to 91 ex div.
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 61 to 62 ex div.;
ditto Four per Cent. Certificates, 92 to 94. Sardinian,
84 to 86. Peruvian Four•and•a-Halt per Cents.,
701 to 71!; Mexican, 21 to 1. Spanish Deferred
Three per Cents., 181 to 19. The list of sales is
annexed, viz. :—Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents.,
921. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 61 ex div.
Equador Bonds, 4. Mexican Three per Cents., 211.
Russian Four-and-a-half per Cents., 89, 901 tx div.
Sardinian Five per Cents, 85. Spanish Old Three
per Cents., 38 ex div.; ditto New Deferred Three per
Cents., 181 ex div. Turkish Six per Cent. Scrip
(paid in full), 76, 761, 761.
The scrip of the new French loan closed at 11 to
21 prem. Attention is excited by the statements
from Paris as to the large excess over the sum of
20,000,0001. sterling to which the subscriptions are
asserted to have already attained. It must be borne
in mind that these subscriptions are invested with
much more of a bona fide character than would be
the case with those fer an English loan, inasmuch
as, by the system usually
.adopted on this side, many
parties who may have written for an allotment con-
sider themselves at liberty to refrain from taking up
their allotments in the event of the scrip going
speedily to a discount, whereas the French plan of
exacting a deposit of 10 per cent. upon the amount
applied for at once tests the bona fidca of the appli-
cant.
The imports of the precious metals this week have
been virtually suspended. The only arrivals reported
are a small quantity of gold by the Sir Robert Peel,
from Africa; one box of specie by the Eliza Thorn-
ton, from Singapore, Bc. ; and one box of specie by
the Saltren's hock, from the Peninsula. The value
of these receipts is not stated.
The Custom-house statement of the exports of the
precious metals c!irect from London during the week
includes 6,235 ounces of gold and 124,646 ounces of
silver • representing an aggregate value of about
55,0001. The gold was despatched chilly to Dun-
kirk and Oporto, and the silver almost entirely to
Hamburg. The particulars are annexed, viz. :—Gold
coin to Dunkirk, 4,800 oz.; to Oporto; 1,200 oz.
Gold bars: to Hamburg, 235 oz. Silver coin: to
Hamburg. 27,500 oz.; to Boulogne, 700 oz. Silver
ban: to Boulogne, 500 oz.; to Havre, 300 oz.; to
Hamburg, 95,646 oz. The other shipments reported
comprise 60,0001. by the Iberia, for the Peninsula;
and 31,8531. by the Great Western, for the Brazils.
The total ascertained shipments of the week are
thus raised to about 146,8001. The chief exports,
however, have consisted of heavy quantities of gold
drawn direct from the Bank, and sent in private
hands to Paris. Of these unfortunately no return is
obtainable.
The Admiralty will receive tenders on the 25th
inst. for the supply of 20,000 blankets.
