(THIS DAY.)

(B 7 7ELEGItAPII.)

BLANCHESTER, WZDNEADAT.

A postman, named Joseph Wood, was charged a
the Manchester police-office this morning with the murder
of his wife. The police received the alann about 3 o'clock
this morning, and, on going to the prisoner's house, in
Back Ash-street, found the wife on a bed with her throat
cut, and some frightful gashes about the body.

THE SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT DARTFORD.

ANOTHER DEATH.

This morning Mr. William Payne, the City
coroner, received information of the death, in Guy's
Hospital, of Peter Wells, aged 28 years.
The deceased was one of five men who were engaged
on the 4th of last month, in raising by means of a
crane which weighed 10 tons, an iron girder of 6 tons
in weight. It was their intention to place the
girder across the Dartford High-road in order to widen a
railway bridge belonging to the loop line of the South
Eastern Railway. While the girder was being adjusted
the crane overbalanced and the men and it were thrown off
the old bridge into the high road a distance of 20 feet.
Two of the men died shortly afterwards. The deceased
expired on Monday from the effects of his injuries. An
inquest will be held.

XOYEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

am o'Ourcia.

The dealings in public securities show a prepon-
derance of sales, and the general course of prices is
unfavourable. Political uncertainties still exercise
a depressing influence on the markets, especially
those for the English funds and foreign stocks,
while the withdrawal of Mr. Crawford's motion
with reference to the debenture question has caused
a decline in most of the railways. The speculators
for lower prices had made large re-purchases during
the last two or three days to close their accounts,
under the impression that Mr. Crawford's motion
would meet with almost general support in the
House of Commons in view of the existing em-
barrassed position of two or three of the chief
lines, but the more general opinion in the City has
been that no resolution of the kind would be has-
tily come to, bearing in mind the magni-
tude of the interests involved. Neverthe-
less it is considered that the discussion of
last night may be productive of good, since it led
to an expression of the views of some of our best
Practical authorities on the subject. The reduc-
tion in Consols amounts to /I per cent.
To-morrow being the 4th of the month, there is
a good demand for money to-day, while the supply
is rather limited. The charge for choice bills is 2/
percent., and for short loans in the Stock Ex-
change, 2} to 3.
Consols are now quoted 901 to 91 both for money
and the 10th inst., and 91 1-16 to 3-16 for the
May account. The Three per Cents. Reduced and
New Three per Cents. are steady, at 89 to /,
ex div.

Foreign stocks are inactive, but Danubian
scrip exhibits a recovery of per cent.
Turkish Bonds of 1865 are i better, while Italian
of 1861 have declined to the same extent.
Turkish of 1865 are quoted 29! to ; Greek,
141 to ; Spanish Passive, 211 to 22 ; ditto
Certificates, 14 to ; Italian of 1861, 53 to ;
Mexican, 16} to 1 ; Russian Scrip, 211 to g pram. ;
Chilian Scrip, 21 to 21 die. ; and Danubian scrip,
3 to 21

American securities and Atlantic Cable shares
show no movement of importance. The 5-20 Bonds
are quoted 741 to 75 ; Eric Railway shares,39 toe;
Illinois Central, 714 to 79 ; Anglo-American Tele-
graph, 161 to 1 ; and Atlantic Telegraph Eight
per Cent. Preference, n to
International Financial shares are quoted
2i to j dis. ; London Financial, 18} to 17e
die. ; General Credit, 3/ to 3 dis.; Credit Foncier,
61 to 6 dia. ; National Discount, 7.1 to 1 prem. ;
and Hudson's Bay, 161 toe.

The steamer La Plata has arrived from the West
Indies with 258,500/. in specie.
The third ordinary meeting of the Fairbairn En_
gineering Company will be held on the 17th inst.,
" for the purpose of receiving a report from the
directors, of declaring a dividend, of confirming
the payment of the interim interest already made
to the shareholders, and of electing directors and
an auditor."

It is unsatisfactory to remark a continuance of
the feeling of mercantile distrust which has been
bequeathed to us as a legacy of the past year.
The timidity manifested by persons in busi-
ness, their indisposition to enter into any
but the most ordinary and routine trans-
actions, and the unusual number of doubting
and hesitating inquiries as to the position and
credit of mercantile firms which are being con-
stantly addressed to the banks, prove how severely
confidence has been shaken by the disasters of the
past year, aggravated as they were by the needless
prolongation of a panic rate at the Bank of Eng_
land. It is known that the resources of many
houses have been seriously impaired by the losses
incurred ; and this knowledge, combined with the
general slackness of business, and with the diffi-
culty of effecting sales of goods, both at home and
abroad, probably explains in some measure the
vague rumours now prevailing of mercantile diffi-
culties in the home, foreign, and colonial trades.
As regards the former department, there is some
anxiety to ascertain how the bills due on the 4th
instant will be met.

About 48,0001. in gold was purchased by the
Bank yesterday, while 15,000 sovereigns were with-
drawn for Egypt.
The silver market continues firm, and bars
and Mexican dollars are again fractionally better
yesterday, at bs. and 4s. 1111. per ounce re-
spectively. The supply here is limited, while the
demand for the East is good, but it is chiefly for
bar silver.

At a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. F.
Goodyear and Co., straw plait and foreign ware-
honaemen, of Old Change who stopped payment
on the 18th ult., the liabilities were stated by
Messrs. Ladbury, Collinson, and Viney, the
accountants, at 202,1691., and the assets at
60,6471., showing a deficiency of 141,522/. 4
long and angry discussion took place, in the course
of which it was mentioned that the firm had
entered into some large accommodation bill
transactions, but it was eventually agreed to
accept a composition of 5s 6d. in the pound,
payable in instalments extending over twelve-
months, the last instalment of Is. to be secured.
It appears that no tenders have been sent in
for the 50,0001. 6 per cent. debentures of the
IMelbourne and Hobson's Bay United Railway
Company.
Most of the railway traffic returns to be pub-
lished this week compare with Good Friday week
in last year.
The South Eastern Railway traffic return shows
this week a decrease of 4,1691., compared with the
corresconding period of 1866 ; the Londoa,
Brighton, and South Coast a decrease of 6,3041.
(owing partly to the temporary strike of the engine
drivers); and the Metropolitan an increase of 241/.
An advertisement has appeared inviting share-
holders in the London, Brighton, and South Coast
Railway Company to attend a meeting at the Lon-
don Tavern on Tuesday next, "For the purpose
of considering the propriety, or otherwise, of
taking over the West Sussex Junction, the
Chi-
cheater and Midhurst, and the Surrey and Sussex
Junction Railway Companies, to be proposed by
the directors at tlie (adjourned) meeting on the 16th
inst. Also to consult generally as to the best
course to be pursued for stopping the construction
of unremunerative branch lines, and for entering
into amicable arrangements with neighbouring
companies to prevent ruinous competition." Sir
Charles K. L Jackson is to take the chair.

The half-yearly meeting of the West Flanders
Railway Company is called for the 26th inst., in
London, and the 7th May at Bruges.
The second ordinary general meeting of the
