The railway share market to-day is extremely
inactive, and scarcely the slightest alteration
has occurred in prides. The attention of the
dealers is principally occupied with preparations
for next Friday's settlement. Midland stook has de-
clinod I per cent, being quoted 124 to k,ex.div. and
ex new shares. Loudon and North-Western stock is
quoted 1014 to 102 ; Great Western, 72 to k ; Lanca-
shire sad Yorkshire, 104 to 1, ex div. ; Cededouiau,
931 to 94f ; South Eastern, 881 ton ; Great
Northern, 110} to Int ; and Eastern Counties,
Mito
tardo-Venetian Railway shares have de-
clined to 1 3-16 to 1 1-16 dia. Other foreign
descriptions have met with scarcely any business.
The Indian and Canadian Railway shares are like-
wise very quiet.

THE GREAT EABTZRIT.—NEW MILFORD, TUESDAY,
—The directors of the Great Ship Company have not lad
time in preparing their vessel for its second mercantile pur-
pose—an a show ship. The three managing directors on the
spot, via, the Hon. Captain Carnegie, Mr. S. Baker, and
Mr. Bold, held a meeting yesterday afternoon on board the
vowel, when it wee dceided to open her for public inspection
et onee, and accordingly to-day the people are flocking down
to the Haven in shoals. No place, perhaps, is better supplied
with the means of locomotion than this marine spot. Small
steamers are constantly plying between Pembroke and this
place, sod ever since the fleet has been in the Haven special
steamers have been running from Pembroke and New
Milford to the ships, and also to the Great Easters. The
great Ain does nut look quite so new as when the British
public had last the opportunity of inspecting her. Her
hull and spars are weather beaten, her masts smoked with
the voinitings of the five funnels, and in the white and other
cabins the gold and ornamental work has lest some little of
its freshness. Several officers of the Channel fleet visited
the vessel yesterday, and were reosived with every courtesy
by Certain Vine Hall, the new commander.
Sista:LAY CAUSE OP DEATH.—It la our painful
dirty this week to chronicle the untimely demon of Mr.
Francis Bellringer, who for some time past barn been au
assistant in the establishment of Mr. Bennington, of
tlfa town. The deceased, who was much respected in the
c,:ahlishment, hail an unfortunate habit of sucking the
pen with which be had been writing, and this, it is almost
certain; was the Mtge of his life being so suddenly and
uuexpectedly brought to a close. A few days since, while
using the tooth-brush, he inflicted a slight wound in hie
lower lip ; but, as this canoed him not the least ineonvenienoe
or pain, ho thought nothing more of it, and continued to
indulge in the habit of which we have spoken. Its effects
soon became visible. On Saturday morning, the 18th inst.,
symptoms of erysipelas manifests...l themselves, but the
deceased got through his usual work in the shop during the
day, and also during Monday attended to his duties. By
the evening of Monday, however, the malignant sym
of the disorder manifested themselves, and Le was o
to keep to his nom for the next couple of des . On
Thursday he was a greet deal worse, and on the afternoon
of that day he was Liken to the hospital, where the best
medical nil was affm.le.l, hut of no avail. The poor young
man dint on Fridav afternoon at a quarter-past 2, bin fatal
malady having been induced by the poisonous ink which he
sucked from the pen penetrating the slight abrasion un his
lip —Brighton Guardian.
' SERIOUS COLLISION ON THE SHREWSBURY AND
HEREFORD RAILWAY.-012 :Sunday lest a serious collision
°mum d on the above line, but no fatal results have as vet
arisen. The 12.40 train (rein Shrewsbury was delayed for
considerable time in starting, in consequence of interrup-
tions to the traffic by a break down the same morn hog, there
being only a single line of rails. The train proceeded at its
renal pace until it arrived at the Craven Arms Station,
shout 18 miles from Shrewsbury. After leaving that station
there is an incline towards Ludlow, and the passenger train
was running at a swift twee, when the driver saw a luggage
train approaching. It was impassible In the distance and
on the sharp incline to stop the revenger train, lout the
goo da train driver nearly succeeded in doing en, when the
other train dashed into it. Both drivers and 'firemen
jumped off their engines, after doing all in their power to stop
the trains. The engines were both smashed, as well as a first
and se:mid-class carriage, and, some of the goods trucks.
Immediate assistance was rendered to the passengers, and
it was found that Mr. Joseph Jolson, corn merchant, of
Shrearbury ; Mr. F.. Tipton. Shrewsbury ; Mr. W. H.
Bayley, of Shrewsbury, a director of the line ; Mr. Med-
ley, traffic manager of the line ; two or three ladies from
'rabbitry, and others, were more or less injured. Mr. Job-
e= waived a violent coecussion, and his life is despaired
of. Mr. Tipton had a severe scalp wound. The whole of
the persons injured were conveyed to the Craven Arnie
Hotel, where ni.4ltral attendance was promptly rendered.
How the accident acturrrl is at present not arcertained
with any degree of c;;:tainty ; but A searching inquiry will
at once be made.

character. The position of the general market
continues much the same as before reporter. Money
doss not circulate with its usual rapidity, and com-
mercial bills are scrutinised narrowly. First-class
paper Laving not more than a month to run is dis-
counted at a fractional reduction from the Bank
minimum, it being a characteristic feature of the
present disposition to caution that all safe channels
for the employment of money for short periods are
sought after with eagerness. At longer dates, the
terms are generally above 4 per cent., and six
months' bills are not taken below 51.
No bullion was purchased by the Bank yt sterday,
but some further amounts are expected to on taken
there, the demand for the Continent continnin.;
limited, although the exchanges are rather less
favourible. The Saxonia, from New York, has
brought 58,0001. for England, of which 40,0‘ag., in
eagle; has been bought for exportation. Of the
137,5401. by the steamer Ls Plata, from the West
Indies, 72,0001. is silver, and 65,5001- gold.
The demand for bills on the Continent yesterday
afternoon was more active, and in some iI.44IICONIthe
tendency of the exchanges was adverse. Tho rates
on Hamburg and Austria 'have declined. The
Paris exchange, however, remains firm. Subjoined

expected increase in the export trade, the total
shipments of British and Irish produce and manu-
