CHATHAM, Oct. 16.
I 'ACCIDENT To THE. MASTER ROPERAHLR.—Me.
Taylor, the master Topcoats at this dockyard, met with a
very serious accident whilst segamed in his duties yesterday,
whereby it la feared that he will be altogether unfitted M.
fort= =vice. Several of the largest cable' being now in
coarse at manufacture, Mr. Taylor wee employed sear the
engine used when by some means his left hand become en-
tangled in the machinery, and before the engine could be
stopped the limb wee torn and lacerated so mach that on the
removal of Mr. Taylor to his residence it was found neces-
sary to amputate a portion of the hand. Mr. Malloy, one
of the officere employed on the ropery, also bed one of hie
hands caught by the same machine, whereby the limb was
torn and bruised in a frigtotal mannar,though it is hoped that
the hand will be eared =teed of amputadon being necessary.
The =bleat would have been far more serious had not the
man who had charge of the machinery instaataneonely
thrown the engine out of gear. From inquiries made this
morning we learn that both the injund gentlemen are doing
well.

THE 16TH LANCitlui.—The head-quarters of this
distinguished regiment, under the command of Lientemant-
Colonel Foster, arrived at the Leeds Cavalry Barracks on
Friday from Pieria:all. Edinburgh, two troops having pre-
vieuely arrived from Handlure, sear Glasgow.
SUICIDE OF A SOLDIER AT BRIGHTON.—OIt Satur-
day morning, at ea early hour, a most determined sct of self-
deetruction was oommitted at the Cavalry Barrack, Brighton,
by a young fallow named John Longwell. a private in the 0
Troop of the 4th Dragoon Guards, deliberately blowing his
brains out under the following painful circumstances : —lt
appears that the unfortunate young Plow enlisted in the
above regiment some three months beak, and that since then
it would seem that he had repented of what he had done, and
was expecting his friends to purchase his discharge. Daring
the whole of the peat month Ise has behaved himself with
great propriety and steadiness. Hoverer, he appears to have
become reckless in consequence of his dtsappointurent at his
friends not coming forward, fur some two months back he
absented himself from hie regiment without leave for two or
three days. On his return he was, according to the general
orders of the regiment, confined to the barracks for a period
of 28 da. That term of confinement expired on Friday,
and on Saturday morning, at a few minutes past 6 o'clock,
when the troop was called out for stable duty, the demand
roamed along the pairesge upon which the men's rooms &bat
on either ads, when he was observed to raise his carbine,
which wan loaded, to hie head, and, placing the muzzle over
his right eye, pulled the trigger, and In an instant the poor
fellow's skull was shattered to pieces. Medical aid we.
called, but without any avail, se death must have taken place
at the instant of the discharge of the weapon.

LoNDosi. moNDAY. OM 17.

Mt i•tt boa bum said d late about the stagnation
of businses--ths Mirth of enterprise. Of the ex-
istence of the evil In many quarters there cannot be
• question. Our commercial machinery at present
doss not work with the rapidity of which
we know it to be capable. At this period of the
year, the return of thousands of merchants, brokers,
capitalists, and speculators from their autumnal tour
is usually followed by a certain degree of animation.
This is still lacking. We must not imagine, however,
that the complaints now heard, which after all are
only partial, denote any Re retrogression of the
great commercial interest. The loud discontent of
one unoccupied individual may drown the quiet ex_
preseion of satisfaction from ten of his fel-
lows, too busy to correct his experience by theirs.
Notwithstanding the dulness which undoubtedly
prevails in many circles the nation is silently carry-
ing on • vary extensive horsiness, both internal and
external. Figures of ready scene prove this. Consi-
derable though the idle resetres in the Bunk of Eng-
land are, the active circulation is unusually large,
amounting, according to the return just published (in-
clusive of seven-day bills) to no less than 23,043,1891.
against 22,028,392/. at the same date in 1838, and
20,882,6904 in 1837. Additional testimony is afforded
by the recent almost mysterious disappearance of
the large amounts of gold, wh:ch u soon as imported
had been sent into the Bank. The amount of foreign
and colonial gold bought by the Bank during the last
four weeks has been as follows—viz.: in the week
ending Sept. 21,130,0001. ; Sept.2B, 410,0001. ; Oct. b,
433,0001.; Oct. 12, 130,000/.; total, 1,128,0001.
The corn and bullion in the Bank have been thus
stated during the same period: Weekending Sept.2l,
increase 71,3471. ; Sept. 28, increase, 348,9604 ; Oct 6,
increase 82,171/. ; Oct. 12, decrease 384,4911.; making
a total net increase in four weeks of only 147,9774
There is, therefore, a deficiency of some 977,0001. to
be accounted for within a month. Foreign demand
there was little. Neither aa• the payment of the
dividends have contributed to the absorption, for the
last published return extends only to Wednesday,
and the dividends were not payable until Thursday.
Speculations as to the cause, however, are almost
eupertluous, for it is known that unusually large
quantities of coin have latterly been draughted away
into the country. To suppose that coin is hoarded
there would be absurd. It is wanted for active em-
ployment, in the payment of wages and the trans-
action of an extensive retail business.

If we consult another vnlasble index—the railway

traffic returns--similar inferences are suggested.
First let as take oar greatest railway, the
Loudon and North-Western, which places in

communication the three mightiest commercial
emporia in the world—London, Manchester, and
Liverpool—besides embracing a multitude of smaller
hives, where iron-forging, cotton-spinning, and
a thoassind other indu,trul pursuits are Min.
lowly carried on. We may take our stand and
glance over wide tracts so densely populated that
their natural productions in the most bounteous
11l Yen. would not suffice for the wants of one-fifth
of the inhabitants, whose prosperity is dependent in
no small degree upon the demands of the foreigner or
colonist. If the cotton of Amer, I, the wool of Aus-
tralis, the textile fabrics of Manchester, and the glit-
tering productions of Birmingham, do not roll in
sufficient quantity along this arterial-iron road,
trade is doll. Now the traffic of the Loa-
don and North-Western Railway since Inn eon-
meretment of the current half-year has reached
1,1J4.8911., being 69,784/. more than in the writ-
spending period of last year. The inci ems is equi-
valent to 4,2701. per week, and as the retorts pub-
lished last week showed an increase of 7,2381. com-
pared with the corresponding week of last year, the
ratio is segmentiog. Again, the Lancashire and
Yorkshire Itaileray runs through the heart of our
indestry : its receipts since the let of July smoant to
619,471/., being an increase of 33,9781,0 r 2,6701. par
week, over last year, and the increase foe the lest
week was 4,1544 Time Midland Railway has taken,
in fourteen weeks, 6,.:4,042/., being 32,226/., or ..!,6011,
per week more thin last year, and the increase for
the last week was 3,106/. If we quit these noisy
manufacturing districts, and follow the steps of the
tourist, the man of pleasure, or the men of business,
who, at this dull time of year, snatches one month 041
of the twelve for relaxation at the seaside, or across
the Channel, we shall we that although people
grumble loudly at the hardness of the times, they
can afford to go a pleasuring to a greater extent than
usual. The few figures annexed will show that
the Southern " pleasure" and "excursion" lines of
railway are 'Nitwit es buy as those which ran
through the manufacturing diericts :

• From Amami I.

As the last monthly Board of Trade returns have
bven fur nearly three weeks before the public, and
ea tho►e fur the month of September, instead of being
published a week ago, will not quit the bands of our
government c'erke uatil some ten days hence, we
will here merely rt ear elate the aggregate declared
value of the. Itritirh and Iri•h produce and manufac-
tures export. d durir.4 the first eight months of the
present seer, wh, ea was 86,405,8851., being
10,809,321/., or 1! per cent. more than in 1858, and

1,739,1671., or 2 per test. mere than is 1867. In I
1606, the paralyeisg inessoce at the groat Weis
was 'till felt, bat is 1437 trade had sequired adore-
Ispasest sever before reached, sod due, in far too
great a degree, to spicalstive ienpu'ies. In 1839,
wit!little specolatioa afloat, no dgares of 1867 are
sossiderably exceeded. 1)0 these Iliolllo., the rail-
way traffic receipts, the circulation of Bank of Eng-
had saes, and the absorption of coin, denote a
atipant or a fairly active condition of general bul-
bous)

The tru'h appears to be that, es is often observed,
ume branches of enterprise are not so well off as
*there, Manchester is busy, many of her largest
manisiacturers being under contest for a consider-
able time forward, sad the prices of her productions
range very high. At Leeds thew is "a steady de-
mand," and the clothiers are "in goad work.• At
Huddersfield "stocks in the manufacturers' beads
are small." At Halifax there is a tensismey to
improvement," and at Hcckdale a "very brisk de-
mand for flannel Ruch." At Iteodford, " spinners
are well employed." At Leec-star, "nearly every
department in the hosiery trade is well engaged.°
And so we might run on, with a hasty glance at
each of our great staples, the general report being
that the operatives are well employed, per lacing
largely and consuming in proportion.
Not to refer, for the moment, to certain important
branches of business, such as the shipping trade,
wherein visible depression prevails, we would direct
attention to the quarter where the shoe really
pinches, and whence the loudest complaints are
received. To the financial and speculative chum
this is a time of sore trial. Holders of money, who
daring the three years preceding the crisis of 1867
obtained high terms, can now find but a narrow
market for their commodity, and at very low rates.
It must smoke a great difference to the owners of the
forty millions lodged in the London Joint-Stock
Banks, whether they get 4,5, and 8 per cent. per
annum interest, as in 1856 and 1857, or only per
cent. The banks and other moneyed establish-
ments are likewise prejudiced, for there is
not adequate employment for their large
funds, and the present state of the mar-
ket naturally induces increased competition for
business, and a proportionate cutting-down of all
money-lenders' profits. Then, again, there is a large
class of persons who habitually take part in the
more tempting of the various joint stock projects,
public loans, and other financial operations that are
occsaionally brought forward. Some here as
allottees and jobbers in the shares, ethers as directors
and promoters. When enterprise of this description
is rampant enormous profits are frequently realised.
Great City houses, ostensibly engaged in regular
mercantile pursuits, derive in some years the bulk of
their income from these speculative sources. To
them and to the whole host of minor operators,
whose sole thought is of premiums, the market at
present affords no scope whatever. It is
generally complained that " there is no
money to be made." In the Stock Ex-
change equal stagnation has not been experienced
for years. What little speculation is going forward
is principally amongst the members themselves; and
a close body like the Stock Exchange cannot live
upon itself for ever. The public are effectually
deterred from speculation by distrust of Frame, sad
by the uncertainty which continues to surround the
great political question of the day. The limited
transactions effected for account of operators beyond
the walls of the Stock Exchange are principally for
Beek; that is to say, whenever the dealers in public
securities give way to little alarms and put prises
down, bone/
fide buyers step forward and take
advantage of them. The result is generally adverse
to the Stock Exchange, which is notoriously bare
of stock. Daring the great panic in that establish-
ment, nearly six months ago, the members were com-
pelled to empty their boxes of marketable securities.
With loss of credit and absolute ruin staring them in
the face—for each individual knew not whether his
neighbour, with whom he had dealt, would be able
to fulfil his obligations—the sacrifice entailed by
selling at depressed prices was not to be considered
for a moment. The public took the preferable stocks
at the low prices; and the collapse has given great
intrinsic strength to the markets, for when a demand
springs up the dealers have no longer the muss of
supplying it, unless by raising prices, and thus
tempting holders to sell.

Great attention has been directed during the last
few weeks to the remarkable movement in the New
Indian Loan. Malicious people wonder how the
gentlemen of the Stock Exchange would have con-
trived to exist but for the profit which the Loan has
afforded them, both from the premium and from
the large amount of business attracted by it. This
has certainly proved one of the most successful
operations on record. It is perfectly futile to argue
that the price of the stock cannot advance beyond a
given limit, that it most bear a relation to the prices
of other Indian *realities, and that the arrangement
for the payment of the dividend., and for the trans-
fer of the stock at the Bank of Englacd confers no
additional security whatever. The simple fact is
that the new investment has exactly hit the
fanciful taste of the public, who are perfectly con-
test to go on absorbing it, and even to pay a con-
siderable premium, neglecting other securities rela-
tively cheaper and resting precisely upon the same
heir. When the next Indian Five par Cent. Loan
comes it will be swallowed up with equal greediness.
But now that the public hes contrived to stay its
appetite for the moment with this five millions of
stock, the question is very appropriately asked—
Upon what class of investments will the demand
run next?

senting a bouquet from Harvard= Castle. The Bishop of
Cheater then advanced, and preeented an address on behalf of
the clergy. A moment or two having elapsed, and the train
being on the point of moving, her Majesty fixed her eyes on
a rich bouquet which the Mayoress held in her hand ; the
royal glance was not to be mistaken. The marquis instantly
presented Mrs. Frost, and, as the train was moving off, her
Majesty put her hand out of the window and received the
bouquet from the hand of Mrs. Frost. Thle little incident
called forth the moat enthuaiestio cheers. The Marquis of
Chandos was in the royal train, which moved out of the
