POLICE. v - _ESTERDAY.

WANDSWORTH. ALLZOED NEOLIOSNeII OP A
RAILWAY WAGGON Damn. Robert Frampton, the
driver of an earth waggon on the South Western Railway,
was charged with wilfully and negligently omitting his duty
as driver, thereby causing the death of a horse, as also en-
dangering the lives of passengers—W. Lane, an rise in e driver,
said that on Saturday afternoon he drove the quarter-past five
o'clock uptsiin from Richmond, and that when he had
gone about a mile from the junction ho saw some earth
waggene, and a horse left unattended. He whistled to draw
the attention of some one, but there was no person there.
The horse, evidently frightened at the approach of the train,
moved on to the up line, and a collision, that was utterly un-
avoidable, took place. The buffer of the engine struck the
horse in such a p.sition as to throw the animal over the
siding. Had the horse fallen on the line the engine and train
must have gone off, and a dreadful loss of life would have
ensued.—W. Phenn, the guard, corroborated the last wit-
nees's evidence. Mr. Young, superintendent of police, and
assistant manager of traffic, said the company considered it
necessary tt snake an example in this cue. The great
number of trains peeing made it necessary that the class of
labourers to which the defendant belonged ehonld be shown
the consequence of not obeying the strict orders given them.
The company would, however, he satisfied with a summary
punishment—Mr. Paynter remarked that he did not think
he had power, ur.der the company's private act, to convict
summarily ; under the general railway act it was an indict-
able offence, and the defendant, being convicted, could be
sentenced to a much longer term of imprisonment than he
could give him. He would, however, remand the defendant
for a week, and consider his case in the interim. Ile would
take two b►il of 201. each for his appearance. Defendant,
who, expressed sorrow for what had occurred, was then re-
moved in custody.

MONEY MARKET.
MONDAY EVENING.
The stock market has shown a remarkabl
buoyancy to-day, resulting with a rise in Console of
full per cent. upon the last prices of Saturday, and
of other funded values proportionally. The conside-
rable fall of corn prices in Mark-lane, reported at
first at the rather exaggerated estimate of Bs. to 10s.
per quarter, but really at 6s. to Bs., was doubtless the
first and chief moving cause of the forward movement
in the funds. Upon the heels of this fact came the
Idifficult operation of buying in the large bear account
of a speculator who bad sold too freely at lower rates,
and found it necessary to cover responsibilities becom-
ing inconveniently onercu.s in view of rapidly rising
markets. In the face of ascending prices firmly main-
tained, business of each a description, when once the facts
are discovered, rarely escapes without punishment. The
account is played upon, the buyer bid against, and
stock therefore enhanced in value to the unlucky
speculator so caught. From 88Z to 9at which Consols
commenced, they advanced almost per &Mum to 89Z, at
which dealers began to realise rata prices gave
way for a short time in consequence to 891 to I. But
at the close of business they had not only recovered
grounds but left off a shade better than the highest
previous price, at 891 to 1. Reduced Threes, 891 to 1.
Three and-a-quarter per Cents., 911 to I. Exchequer
Bills (large), Bs. tolls. premium; the 5001. bills were
done as high as 15a.; the small at 20s. premium.
This extraordinary improvement in Exchequer Bill
values may be regarded as a tolerably sure test of
the strength of the stock market. India Bonds, 6s.
to 9s. premium. Console Scrip were buyers at 1
premium. Long Annuities, 9 1-16 to 1. Bank
Stock, 196 to 7.
The foreign market did not participate in this
active and upward movement of the funds. On the
contrary, the quotations of some of the more specu-
lative foreign stocks marked lower. Spanish Fives
at 211 to 21, the Threes at 341 to 1 were in decline.
So also Portuguese at 311 to 21. Mexican were worse
at 191 to 20. Brazilian (Old) were 821 to 41. New
, Granada, 191 to 201. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
' Cents., 581 to ; the Fours, 891 to 90.
Notwithstanding the prospering state of public
securities, money was reported not to be quite so
abundant in the general market, and is expected to
be less so still for some few days to come, in conse-
quence of the recall or repayment of a considerable
portion of the loans made by the Bank as usual on
terms, and at dates, falling due before the payment of
idividends commences.
