TILE LATE ACCIDENT ON TILE SOCTII WESTERN
RAILWAY.—Ou Saturday evening Mr. Carter went into
• protracted inquiry at the Three Goats Inn, Wandsworth-
road, Lsmbeth, respectiag the death of John Massey, isW
31, who was killed on the South-Western Railway, under
the moat frightful eitounstancea, some particulars of which
appeared in the Exp►ess of Saturday last. After the Jury
had been in consultation for half an hour, they returned •
verdict: " That the deceased met his death accidentally;
at the same time, they szpriiised an opinion that the imme-
diate attention at the company might to be called to the
present system el leaving • man in such • dangerous posi-
sition, and th►t means be adopted forthwith for the better
preservation of ►ife." Mr. Runt, the contractor, said the

With a moderate amount of business, which con-
sists chiefly of money dealings, time bargains in
Consols being still very restricted, the English stock
market has worn a steady appearance to-day, and,
though no quotable advance can be noted, the general
tendency has been towards improvement. There
is no particular feauture in the continental news, and
no consideration calculated to disturb the quietude
of the security markets has presented itselfi
Consols have ruled steady all day for cash, at
Saturday's quotation of 96: to 1, whilst for time the
price has been a frifie better, at 961. The business
figures are thus officially recorded :—Three per Cent.
Consols, 961, ;;;; ditto for account, 961; Three per
Cent. Reduced, 971, 3; New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents., 981, 99. Long Annuities, 1860, 71 ;
ditto 30 years, 1859, 7: ; South Sea Old Annuities,
96=; Bank Stock, 2151; India Stock, 262, 2621.
For the unfunded securities little inquiry is ob-
servable, and the price still shows a drooping ten-
dency, though Saturday's quotation of 445. to 475.
prem. for Exchequer Bills is supported. India Bonds
under 1,000/, mark 545. and 378. prem.
The foreign bond market is very steady to-day,
and prices, especially of the less speculative
stocks, are firmly held. In Peruvian Deferred
there have been some transactions as high
as 431, and the Active Bonds, though no
business is as vet marked in them, are better, at 01.
Sardinian. Russian, Danish, and Dutch, are sup-
ported, but in no description are the transac-
tions at all numerous, as may be gathered from
the subjoined list of the figures at which
bargains have been concluded, :—Belgian Five
per Cents., 1041. Danish Five per Cents., 105.
Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates, 93. Mexican
Bonds, for account, 15th August, 311, 31. Peruvian
Deferred, 4:11, 43. Russian Four-and-a-llalf rr
Cents., 101 i, 1. Sardinian Scrip, 1 prem. Spanish
Active Five per Cents., 211; ditto Passive, 51.

SATS:RDA! EVENING.
The money market presents no essential change,
but full former rates are readily obtainable, and dis-
counts cannot be effected under 3to 31 per cent.
The sales of Exchequer bills, which have of late been
noticed, may be thus explained, as in several
branches of trade businesshas assumed a rather brisker

appearance, and in some quarters an impression
would appear to prevail that capital will crc lung
command rather more remunerative employment.
"On call," the rate rules at 2; per cent. In
the Stock Exchange no tightness is observable, and
the absence of difficulty on the occasion of the
settlement in railway shares and foreign stocks is in
a great measure attributable to the moderate terms
at which accommodation was granted.

The Bank of France returns for the week ending
Thursday, the 31st of July, show the following
results (25 francs for 11.) :
Bullion £23,764,813 Increase £112,958
Bullion on deposit 120,130 Decrease 10,838
Circulation
Public deposits
Pricute deposits 4,402,162 Demme 68,436
Bills discounted 4,766,312 Increase 382,616
tioccrnmcnt ,acuran s 7,065,499 Inercuse 4,362

The stock of bullion, which at the beginning of
the month experienced a reduction, is thus shown to
be again steadily- movie up. The increase in the
bills discounted is usual at the end of the month,
but the returns generally afford evidence of more
briskness in business than of late.

The bullion markets, abroad and at home, are
without particular movement, and quotations remain
the same as last week. Present prices are thus re-
ported by Messrs. Sharp and Wilkins: Bar gold,
3/. 17s. ltd. per muse standard; American gold
eagles, 3!. I6s. 3d. per ounce; bur silver, without
gold, ss. OA. per ounce standard; bur silver, con-
taining gold (all gold above 5 grains in the pound
to be paid for), ss. 1 td. per ounce ; Mexican and
South American dollars, 4s. 11 td. per ounce; United
States dollars, 4s. 111 per ounce ; Spanish pillar dol-
lars, ss. Id. per ounce; five franc pieces, 45. 11 id. ;
quicksilver in bond, 3s. 4d. per lb.
The imports of bullion this week have again been
very large, arrival following arrival in quick succes-
sion. The imports arc: by the Hermann from New
York, 100,0004, of which, however, 60,0004 only
were for England; by the Africa from New York,
1,001,543 dais.; by her Majesty's ship Meander from
the Pacific and Rio, 860,000 dols.; by the Baltic
from New York, 700,000 dols.; by the City of G'.as-
gow screw steamer from Philadelphia, 15,000 dots.
The total imports represent a sum of 583A81/. sterling.
Shipments of specie continue also to be made by
sailing vessels; thus the Independence liner is
shortly expected at London from sew York with
122,000 dots.
The total amount of the precious metals exported
direct from London, during the week ending Thurs-
day lust, we learn from official sources, was as fol-
lows :—Silver bars: To Hamburg, 12.000 oz.; to
Rotterdam, 72,000 oz.; To Boulogne, 5,727 oz.
Silver coin : To Dunkirk, 3,000 oz.: to lklgiun,
25,000 oz.; to Rotterdam, 15,000 oz.; to Corfu,
24,000 oz.; to Boulogne, 8(K) oz.; to Hamburg,
1,062 oz. Gold bars: To Boulogne. 178 oz. Gold
coin : To Calais, 9,500 oz.; to Dunkirk, 14,000 oz.;
to Hamburg, 30 oz.—making a total export for the
week of 23,708 ounces of gold, and 158,589 ounces of
silver, amounting in value to about 132,090/.
The exports from the out-ports have been as fol-
lows :—By the Iberia, Peninsular and Oriental
steamer, 13,650!. for Lisbon; and by the Enxine,
Peninsular and Oriental steamer, 1561, for Malta—
both from Southampton.
An analysis of the railway traffic rcturr.s of the
United Kingdom for the last week, published by
Ihrapalli's Journal, shows the total receipts on 6,181
miles, to be 333,361., or 64/. per mile per week.
In the corresponding week of last year, the amount
was 283,6814 only, which on 5,975 miles, is equivalent
to 471. 10s. per mile per week. There is thus an increase
of 49,682!., or 17.51 per cent. in the aggregate re-
ceipts; an increase in the mileage of 206 miles,
or 3.43 per cent.; and an increase of 61. 10s. in
the amount received per mile per week. The
Railway Tiles estimates the total receipts since
the Ist July, on 6,100 miles, at 1,250,3784, or
294/. 19e. 7d. per mile; while for the same period
in 1850 the income only reached 1,042,7071. on 5,656
milts; thus showing a balance of 20!. 12e. 60. per
mile in favour of the present half-year.
