Mr. Richard Williams, superintendent of the Great
Northern Railway, said that the dececeased wassupposed to
have struck against one of the pillars of the Snow•hill
bridge. He bad evidently forgottou the fact of the exis-
tmee of the bridge when the train was vossing under it.
Thereat= a distance of 2 feet 6 inches between the edge
of the foot plate on which the deceased stood and a pillar
importing the railway bridge, and therefore there was
plenty of room fur the deceased to pass uninjured unless
lie stooped. The deceased had only been at work two
hours when the occurrence took place. He had seen a great
deal of service, and had been employed by the Metropo-
litan Railway Company.
After other evidence,
The Coroner said that he thought that it would never
appear how the deceased had fallen on the metals.
The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death."

FATAL STEAMBOAT COLLISION ON THE RIVER

Yesterday afternoon an inquest was concluded
at Poplar, before Mr. Humphrey., the Middlesex coroner,
touching the death of John Marks, a lightennan, who was
drowned by his craft being run down in the river, off
Greenwich, by the Fulton screw steamer, for Dunkirk.
Mr. J. A. Pernikld, solicitor, appeared for the o wner
of the lighter.
It appeared that late at night the barge laden with
Iris was coming up the river from one of the lower
..viol, and when off Cubitt's-town, opposite Greenwich,
the Fulton came in collision with her and she eventually
Kok. The deceased and another man on heard jumped
overboard, and the deceased perished. The other man
team ashore. Negligence was imputed to be the sole
muse as it was averred that bad • proper lookout been
kept the accident would have been avoided.
The pilot in charge of the Fulton said she was navi-
gated down the river with all care, but there were four
glaring lights on a wharf on the north shore which had
the effect of obscuring all view of the barge until they
were close upon her, when everything was done to avert
the catastrophe. The deceased was called not to jump,
and the barge did not sink for some minutes. On hie re.
Presentation of the il.ingerous position of the four lights,
the Thames Conservancy Board had caused them to be
removed. It also appeared that the smoke from some lime
kilns on the north shore so overhung the river as to obscure
the barge.

The Coroner mid after the evidence es to the lights and
the smoke from the kiln, he did not think that any crimi-
nal neglect would attach to the steamer. It was satis-
factory to find that the Thames Conservancy had already
acted in the matter.

The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death," and
regretted that a life buoy had not been thrown from the
Hamer.

BURINE.SS IY THF: HOUSE or LORDs.—On Thurs-
day Lord Lyveden will move in the House of Lords for a

The Chiltern steamer, sent out specially with
materials and skilled staff for the repair of the Atlantic
(I'vo'd cable, reached Heart's Content, Nes foundland, on
Sunday.

This was an action for libel The defendant pleaded
not guilty.
Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr.
Sergeant Ballantine for the defendant.
When the ease was called on

Mr. Coleridge said the action was brought by Captain
Dames against Admiral Burton, under these circum-
stances :—The plaintiff, who had been a considerable time
in the army, had raised himself from the ranks, and, of
course felt severely any imputation on his character.
Having rented a cottage belonging to Admiral Burton,
they got into certain disputes, and the admiral took some
view of the plaintiff's conduct which he now felt he could
not justify. He published two letters reflecting most
severely on the plaintiffs conduct, and the plaintiff was
obliged to bring this action to vindicate his character.
Mr. Serjeant Ballantine said that Admiral Burton, in
writing the letters, did not intend to convey the imputa-
tion which, according to his (the learned counsel's) view
his words undoubtedly did convey, and, on this being
pointed out to him he readily retracted what he had said,
and expressed his regret for having said it. He would,
therefore, consent to a verdict for the plaintiff, with 40s.
damages.
Verdict accordingly.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.)
IN RE ElpB CORNEA.

The bankrupt was described as a photographer and hair-
dresser, of Langley lace, Commercial-road-east. He
ascribes his failure to badness of trade, which bad become
worse after some alterations made in his premises. His
application for release from custody was opposed by Mr.
Reed, on behalf of the detaining creditor, Mr. F. Wolsey'
•builder, of Fieldgate-street, Whitechapel, whose debt of
261. was incurred in work on the bankrupt's premises. It
appearing that the bankrupt only owed 581., his honour
suggested an arrangement with his creditors (only three in
number), and directed an adjournment for that purpose.

IN RE lism.r.sw.
The bankrupt, late a clerk in the customs, residing at
Albanyroad, Camberwell, applied for his release from
custody. His debts are about 1,8001.
Mr. Webster opposed for the detaining creditor.
Mr. Pitman urged the bankrupt's release on the ground
of his illness.

His Honour said that in the abeam° of evidence the
case must follow the usual course, and tho application
must stand over till after the choice.

IN RN IL G. BARRON.

_ _...._-...
The bankrupt was • warehouseman of King-street,
Cbeapside, and Lawrence-lane. The debts are rbout
20,0001. ; a dividend of 2a. lid. in the pound has been
already paid. This was the sitting for examination and
discharge, but the statutory accounts not being filed, an
adjournment necessarily took place.

1N RE CROUCH.
The bankrupt, a cab-owner, of George's-yard, Caledonian-
rood, applied for his order of discharge from debts of about
1,0001. No assets. . .

Mr. Heed opposed. The bankrupt shortly before his
failure bad 52 horses ; but he had acted upon • system
which was now very common with people in his line. He
had disposed of several of his best horses, handed over
others to his sons, who were now driving them in cabs, and
had then gone to the repositories and purchased some
wretched cattle worth about 30e. • piece, which were after-
wards given up to tho court as his "estate and effects."
(A laugh.)
After hearing Mr. Beverley for the bankrupt, who
alleged that he had lost • great many horses by disease,
His Honour directed an adjournment for • goods
account.

A GENTLEMAN DROWNED.—A sad case of drown-
ing occurred on Saturday last. A gentleman, about 30
years of age, hired a small boat on Southsea beach from a
waterman named Clarke for the purpose of having • bathe.
About 4 o'clock in the afternoon Clarke we, informed that
the boat had been picked up at sea, beyond the Nab Light.
He accordingly proceeded in search of it, and found that
it was being towed by • large boat which was going to
Langston harbour, the persons in charge of it having
found the boat adrift outside the abovenemed light. In
the empty boat there was • complete suit of clothing, the
pocks and handkerchiefs being marked " P. IA Bias." The
body has not been recovered up to the present.
THE WEATHER AND THE CROPH.—The weather
can scarcely be termed seasonable which, in the middle of
the month of June, alternates between • high temperature
and actual frost—between genial breezes and • cold north-
easter. But even in spite of weather of this character,
vegetation has made great progress during the week, and
the reports which reach us from various quarters as
to the state of the crops are, on the whole, highly
satisfactory. The wheats are everywhere coming into
—and in most instances now are in—full ear, and should
a satisfactory " blooming" time be experienced, the pros-
pect bids fair to be unusually good. Hay harvest has already
oommenced, and a heavy swathe is reported. Fine weather
is now the great thing. From the hop districts the accounts
are somewhat varied and conflicting--• state of things which
may almost be accepted as normal. We know of no cultiva-
ted crop where " hopes and team alternate rise* in the
same striking degree as in the case of the hop crop.
The plant is of so peculiar a nature and its enemies so
numerous and dangerous, that the crops depends
upon • variety of circumstances irrespective of mere
weather. At present there appear. to be prospect of
• fair abundance, but it is all too early so do more
than hope that • good crop may be realised. The ac-
counts speak of an increase of vermin, but the plant it
strong and vigorous, and another week may see a change
with respect to fly, and put • stop to the forebodings in
which some of the planters seem but too ready to indulge.

TRH Durum AHlflr IN JAVA...—The Indian army,
which has nothing at all in common with the home service,
is composed of elements but little adapted to promote the
moral supremacy of the European, though its ranks con-
tain a brave and hardy set of soldiers, who rendered in-
valuable services to the government. The officers may be
divided into two distinct classes : those brought up with
the cadets for the home service at the military college of
Breda, entirely at the government expense—in every
respect well-educated young men—and those promoted
from the ranks, selected from among the men who are
sent out to India as privates, or exchange, as commissioned,
ov even non-commissioned officers, from the borne into the
colonial army. The greater part of the rank and file of
the European soldiers who enlist in Holland for India
belong to the very worst set imaginable of the natives, to
whom are added in great numbers the outcasts of all na-
tions, who can rind no other means of escaping disgrace or
starvation. The Dutch student, ruined by profligacy, the
German fraudulent bankrupt, the French gambler, the dis-
charged soldiers of the foreign legions of other nations,
who fought in the Crimea, who were Zouaves in Africa, in
Italy, or in Mexico. stand beside each other in the ranks,
and share together the hardships of the campaign. Most
of these men are of a dare-devil character, excellently
adapted for the field, but entirely unfit for a peaceful
home, or for exercising any wholesome influence on the
native Indian population.—NorfA British &rim, June

REMARKS.
Barometrical pressure has diminished a little since yesterday,
and Is now decreasing over the British isles. Winds are light
and variable , weather cloudy.

The meeting of the select committee on Mines is
postponed till Tuesday next.
The meeting of the select committee on the East
London Water Bills is postponed till Monday next.
On Thursday Mr. Taylor will aak the Secretary
of State for the Home Dep►rtment whether his attention
has been called to the statement published in the public
papers by the Rev. R. Payne concerning the conviction of
Henry Fulford and Mark Welstead by the Salisbury
bench of magistrates for alleged poaching on the 26th of
of March last ; and if he will lay upon the table all the
communications that have paned upon the subject.
In consequence of the announcement by the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, yesterday evening, that the
cabinet had abandoned any intention of introducing an
Irish Reform Bill this session, a meeting of the Irish mem-
bers has been called for to-morrow, in order to consult
upon the nouns to be adopted.

Yesterday a meeting of Scotch liberal members
was held in No. 16 committee-room, Mr. Bouverie, the
member for Kilmarnock, in the chair, to consider the pro-
visions of the Soottish Reform Bill, and more especially
those which relate to the grouping. About 40 members
were present—all who are now in town. The conviction
seemed to be, that while the plan of grouping would in no
way strengthen the popular cause in the boroughs, in the
counties the liberal interest would be seriously damaged,
if not completely overthrown. It was unanimously resolved
to oppose that portion of the measure.

The name of Mr. Jacob Bright (Mr. John Bright's
brother) was alluded to at a meeting of the Macroom
Farmers' Club on Friday, as a possible candidate for the
county of Cork.

It is understood that Assistant-Commissary-
General J. Long has been appointed by the Secretary of
State for War to the responsible and important office of
military accountant to the forces in Ireland, in succession
to Assistant-Commissary-General L. W. Blacker.
Yesterday afternoon the officers of the Ist
Battalion of the Grenadier Guards quartered at the Tower
of London entertained a numerous party of their friends
at that ancient fortress. The warders, who were attired in
their picturesque uniform, were in attendance, and con-
ducted a large number of visitors to view the armour', the
state jewels, the White Tower, and other parts of the'
fortress. Unfortunately, shortly after 5 o'clock, it rained
for a short time, which prevented many of the company
from thoroughly visiting many objects of historical interest
with which the fortress abounds. At the °farms.' mem a
luncheon was provided. A large party came from West-
minster-bridge, and landed at the Tower•wharf, in one of
the Citizen steam.boats. When the company began to
take their departure the drums and fifes of the battalion
played a variety of cheerful airs.

- The South Western Company have made ar-
rangements for conveying 200 excursionists to and from
Paris, five days a week. Mr. Oaze, who has been
appointed manager of these excursions, has offices at
Southampton and at Paris. Every excursionist receives •
pan which enables him to travel on the South Western
and Paris and Havre lines, and by the Southampton and
Havre packets and to choose any of several first-class
hotels in Paris, where he will board and ledge for a week.
His baggage is taken charge of between Southampton and
Paris. The Paris hotel keepers are advised daily, by
telegraph, of the accommodation that will be required
long before the excursionists can arrive. Many hotel.
keepers are chiefly supported by these excursionists every
summer, and they have been compelled to continue the
accommodation this year for the sake of future patronage.
AecTostrr TO THE Courwrzas or Fire.—We regret
to have to record that an accident of • somewhat serious
character happened to Lady Fife yesterday. Her ladyship,
who had been staying for the last few days with the
Countess of Jersey at Osterley Park, was stepping from
• cab at the Southall station, when she missed her footing,
and falling, fractured her left leg near the ankle. Lady
Fife was conveyed home to the family mansion in Caven-
dish-square, when Mr. Henry Thompson was in immediate
attendance, and set the fractured limb.
THE EASTERN FISHERIES. —Some of the Great
Yarmouth boats engaged in the mackerel fishery have
brought in from :100 to 1,200 fish each during the last few
days. The average price has been 255. per 120. The Lowes-
toft boats have made very fair catches of mackerel daring
the week ; the price has been about 30e. per 132. Some
quantity of mackerel has been landed at Lowestoft from
Norway.

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

ONI o'OLoaa.

The amount of business in the Stock Exchange
to-day is limited, and the tone of most of the
markets is dull. Consols are slightly better for
money, but are unaltered for the account.
The dealings in the railway department
are still chiefly confined to London,
Brighton, and South Coast stock. Transactions
were officially recorded this morning at 574, and
although a partial recovery has since occurred, the
present quotation is per cent. lower than yester-
day. Every fall of importance in this security is
followed by bone fine investments, notwith_
standing the announcement in the report of the
committee of investigation that no dividend can be
announced for two years. Many persons, how-
ever, entertain a belief that the line, with able
management, will eventually pay well, and are
disposed to lock up their funds and await that
result. Some of the foreign stocks are inquired
for, including Spanish Passive and Certificates.
The applications for discount to-day are upon
a very moderate scale, while the supply of money
has further increased. The rate for choice bills is
24 to 24 per cent. The change for short loans in
the Stock Exchange is 2 per cent.
Consols are now quoted 944, ex div., for
money, and 941 to Q, ex div., for the account
(July 10) ; and the Three per Cents. Reduced and
New Three per Cents., 934 to 4.
The government broker has bought to-day
13,0001. New Three per Cents. for the sinking fund,
at 934.

The foreign stock market is rather firm. Spanish
Certificates have improved f percent. ; the Passive
Bonds, 4 ; and Turkish of 1865 and Mexican, 5.
Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 595 to 605 ;
ditto Five per Cents. of 1865, 331 to 34 ; Spanish
Passive, 245 to f ; ditto Certificates, 140 to a ;
Italian of 1861, 51f to 52 ; and Mexican, 165
to 175.
Financial shares exhibit no variation, apart from
an advance of 10s. in London Financial, viz., to
19 to 18 dis. International Financial are quoted
10 to die. ; General Credit, If to If dia.; and
Credit Foncier, 55 to 5 dia.
As regards Bank shares, Alliance remain heavy,
and exhibit a fresh fall of 10s., viz., to 95 to 85
dis. ; London and Westminster are called 107 to
109, and Union of London, 415 to 425.

American securities are unaltered. The 5-20
Bonds are quoted 73 to 1. Erie Railway shares
39/ to 401 ; and Illinois Central, 781 to 791.
Anglo-American and Atlantic Telegraph 8 per
cent. preference shares are in request, and have
improved 2s. 6d. to se. ; the former are now quoted
181 to 1, and the latter, 4} to g
The annual report of the directors of Charles
Cammell and Co. (Limited), of the Cyclops Steel
and Iron Works, Sheffield, to be presented at the
meeting of shareholders to be held on the
21st instant, states the net snm available
for dividend at 67,4621. 15s. 9d., out
of which the payment is recommended of 51. 2s.
per share (which will make, with those already
paid, a total of 30 per cent. in dividends during
the past three years), leaving a balance of 16,4621.
15s. 9d. to be carried forward to next year's ac-
count

The directors of the Provincial Bank of Ireland
notify that a dividend for the half-year ending
Midsummer next, at the rate of 4 per cent. on the
paid-up stock, and also an extraordinary dividend
of 30s. on each 1001. share, and 12e. on each 101.
share, will be paid to the proprietors on the 15th
of July next.

With reference to the London and Australian
Agency Company (limited), it is announced tha
warrants for the payment of the dividend de-
clared on the 21st ult., at the rate of 10 per cent
per annum, free of income tax, will be issued on
the 26th inst.

The fourth ordinary general meeting of the Im-
perial Mexican Railway Company will be held on
the 28th inst. At an extraordinary meeting, convened
for the same day, a resolution will be proposed for
changing the name of the undertaking.
An extraordinary meeting of the East India
Cotton Agency (Limited) is called for the Ist of
July, to consider special resolutions for the volun-
tary winding up of the undertaking, subject to the
supervision of the Court.
The liquidators of the China Steamship and
Labuan Coal Company (Limited) propose making
to-morrow (Wednesday) a further call of I/. 10s.
per share.

try will accord impunity to acts such as those de-
tailed in the committee's report. Is there no
punishment for directors who systematically falsify
—or, as the phrase is, "cook"—accounts andthrow
dust in the eyes of their shareholders by declaring
letitious—we might say, fraudulent—dividends f
['he full good to be got out of this bitter lesson, ,
.red complete compensation for the loss and misery
which these doings have occasioned, will nut be
arrived at unless means can be devised of demon-
strating in this instance to the whole body of joint
stockcompsnies'directorstheir individual and pecu-
niary responsibility fur the faithful discharge
of their trust. Unless this is done, we shall
well deserve the reproach that things are no better,
no purer, and shareholders' safeguards against
wrong-doing no greater than they were 20 years
ago, when bribery and corruption ran riot.
But, leaving this part of the matter to be dealt
with as law and justice may dictate, the sheke-
-1 holders have now to occupy themselves, under the
guidance of their committee, with the means of
devising a practical remedy for the company's
more immediate financial embarrassments. The
best solution of the difficulty would appa-
rently be found if the existing proprietors
both ordinary and preferential could make an
effort, and themselves take the whole of the new
preference stock which it is proposed to issue, and
which ought to be offered to them on suitable
terms before the public are asked to participate.
The existing partners would by these means escape
the worst and most unjust infliction arising out of
such abuses—that of being over-ridden for ever by
preferential claimants, who profit by their un-
deserved misfortunes.

At a very scantily attended meeting yesterday of
Russian Three per Cent. bondholders of 1859, Mr.
Alderman Salomons, M.P., in the chair, a com-
mittee was appointed to watch over the interests
of the bondholders, with authority to confer with
the Russian government thereou, and to take any
other steps that may be deemed expedient.

The committee of investigation of the London,
Brighton, and South Coast Railway having put
forward in their report the name of Mr. S. Laing,
M.P., as one of the new board of directors, without
that gentleman's assent having been first obtained,
we are in:ormed that a letter will be made public)
containing his refusal to accept office.
The Brighton Railway traffic return shows this
week an increase of 5,219/. over last year, the
receipts being for Whit week, and the South
Eastern an increase of 5,189/.
The official liquidators of the Bank of London
have been ordered by the Court of Chancery to
make a call upon the shareholders, the amount of
which will be settled this week.

The amount of gold sent into the Bank yesterday
was 90,0001.

The Hermann has arrived from New York with
64,5001. in specie ; the Aleppo, from the same
port, with 31,5001. ; and the Africa, from Boston,
with 23,5001. ; making a total of 119,5001. A
further sum of no less than 900,0001. is known to
be on the way from the same trader, in addition
to 461,5001. from Australia.
The bar silver by the West India packet was sold
yesterday for the Continent at ss. od. per ounce,
showing no change compared with the recent quota-
tion.

The revelations contained in the report of the
Committee of Investigation of the Brighton Rail-
, way Company have produced a profound sensation
in all quarters. The shock is the more lamentable
because it takes place at • very critical period for
railway finance, and at a moment when the public
have become so disgusted with the scandals and
abuses attending joint stock business that there
may well be danger of their rushing blindly into
the unwise extreme of an indiscriminate sale and
sacrifice of their property. Upon the impolicy of
such a course it is surely unnecessary to
dwell. Embarrassed though the position
of too much of our railway property
undoubtedly is, and severely though it has suffered
at the hands of unfaithful steward., like those who
have governed the Brighton Railway, men who are
conversant with our railway history can easily
point to past periods when the prospects of this in-
terest were much darker, and that chiefly because
directors, while equally unscrupulous, wore more
powerful, and shareholders, though equally suffer-
ing, were more supine. This latest phase in the
history of the Brighton Company shows that pro-
prietors have only to rise and intimate their will,
and a board of directors is driven from office
without the slightest chance of offering any
effectual resistance. But it would be unjust
and incorrect to assume that, because a shameful
and self-seeking system is proved to have prevailed
in the case of one company, it obtains universally.
There is, on the contrary, ground to hope that
equal abuses cannot be found at the board of any
other railway company in the kingdom. There is
a universal feeling amongst the proprietors that
Mr. Leo Schuster—reputed a rich man—and the
other persons primarily connected with the exten-
sion projects which, according to the committee,
have caused some three millions of the company's
money to be utterly wasted, ought to be forced
by legal action to repair at least a portion
of the injury they have inflicted upon
those who trusted to them. Of vindictive
feeling there is and ought to be none, but
it remains to be seen whether the law of this coun-
