The English Funds were again flat to-day. In
the morning a decline of 8 to 1 per centwas quoted,
but the closing prices were nearly per cent below
those of yesterday. At the close, the prices were
931 to 931. The tendency towards depression was
chiefly attributed to the activity of the demand for
money in all quarters. In the Stock Exchange,
the !pressure was especially noticed, being
increased by the settlement of the account
in shares and. _foreign stocks. This is a natural
consequence of the outstanding speculation
for a rise in most descriptions of securities. In
face of the stringency of the Money Market, the
Funds must be considered fairly supported. The
Stock Exchange settlement has not been
effected without the announcement of a failure.
The party referred to has been an exten-
sive speculator for the rise in several departments
of the market. His suspension has thus had a
prejudicial effect- upon the price of certain
securities. The closing quotations of the Paris
Bourse did not reach the city this evening. On
'Change, this afternoon, there.was more demand
for bills on most Continental cities.

At the adjourned meeting of the creditors of Mr.

that an arrangement, tantamount to a partnership,
really existed between Mr. Young and the late
Mr. Beckwith. Mr. Young's affairs are, therefore,
to be thrown into the Bankruptcy court.

STEAM COMB

dUNICATION WITH AUSTRALIA

On Monday, a large and influential meeting was held at
the London Tavern, to determine on the best means to
be taken to insure the immediate re-establishment of our
steam postal relations with Australia. The Lord Mayor
was called to the chair, and among the company on the
platform were, the Earl of Hardwick, Lord Stanley,, Mr.
Kerr Seymour, M.P., Mr. W. Brown, M.P. Mr. John
M'Gregor, M.P., and many other gentlemen o'f influence
and.standing,

The Lord layor, in opening the proceedings, said that it
appeared to him to be a matter of deep regret that govern
meet had done nothing to facilitate the postal communica-
tion between this country and her Australian colonies. The
importance of such a communication was at once apparent.
In fine, it was his opinion, that the: money which would be
saved in insurance and in interest on the value of cargoes,
if a sure and reliable postal communication were opened
between England and Australia, would go a long way
towards a subsidy for that purpose-(hear, hear)—and he
therefore, thought that they ought to urge on government'
to expedite the establishment of one, and he hoped that the
united voice of that meeting would have the effect of getting,
without further delay, a line of ships put on the most
eligible route, which might pr event the inconvenience which
had hitherto been felt.

The meeting was addressed at considerable length by
Mr. C. Wenrworth, lately representative of Sydney in the
legislature of New South Wales, by the Earl of Hardwicke,
by Lord Stanley, M.P., by Mr. Kerr Seymour, M.P., and
other gentlemen, and the - following resolutions were
unanimously adopted :
_.

First. Tliat while the long-continued interruption of all
postal steam intercourse with the Australian Colonies have
been productive of serious discontent and detriment to them,
it has been in a still greater degree injurious to the com-
merce and finances of the United Kingdom.
Second. That it is 'expedient that immediate steps be
taken to establish a steam. postal service suitable to the vast
commerce and growing importance of Australia.
Third. That it appal =rs to the meeting that the trans-
missions of letters between England and Australia could be
performed at an average-, /ate of not I.ess than ten knots an
hour, and this should be effectad by the most eligible route
and in the shortest possible time.
On the motion of Sir W. M'Arthur, a vote of thanks to
the Lord Mayor was passed by acclamation, and thus the
proceedings terminated.

THE RAILWAY -FOR-GtRIES

DUBLIN, Monday Evening,.---At the head police-office,
this day, Mr. James M. Knighting was brought up,
charged with having committed another forgery of a
transfer of railway shares. From the evidence, it
appeared that Mr. Knighting, in June last, called at the
office of Mr. Robert Corbett, stockbr4er, and stated
that. Mr. Henry M. Jones, of Hampstead, was anxious to
dispose of 156 preference shares in the Great Southern
and Western Railway, and that, inasmuch as his residence
was at some periods uncertain, he wished to appoint Mr.
John J. Ryan, of the Lunacy-office as his agent.
In accordance with this direction, a deed of
transfer ' from Mr_ Ryan to Mr_ Jonpa Q rnado
out in Mr. Co-rbett's office and forwarded to the Great
Southern and Western Railway of
was returned with the si
rough t for- feror, and of Mr. Ryan

EXTRAORDINARY PASSAGE.—The splendid clipper ship,
Zobooh, 1300 tons register, which arrived last week, has
made the fastest passage, we believe, on record, from New
Orleans to this port, viz , twenty-three days and a-half.
She is now laid on the berth for Melbourne, as one of the
Mersey Line of Packets, and, as her accommodation for
passengers are very superior, we have little doubt she will
command the preference which such a fine ship deserves,
and usually obtains in this trade.
_ TUE LATE GOLD DUST SEIZURE, —We have already
stated the circumstances of the seizure of gold dust, value
£l2OO, by Mr. L. T. Gaskill, in the case of Nathan Sala-
man, an Australian bankrupt. The party decidedly
stated before the commissioner at Sheffield that the dust
did not belong to him, but. from further information
received by the Red Jacket, from Australia, it seems the
assignees in the case, are confirmed in the fact that it did
belong to him, and we have been informed that the
Messrs. Baines have received orders to retain it. Yester•
day, the Leeds Messenger 'of Bankruptcy arrived in town
in consequence of a refusal of Messrs. Baines to give up
to his agent, Mr. L. T. Gaskill, a box of silver plate that
came from Australia in the Lightning also, and is
stated to belong to the bankrupt. Of course, the Messrs.
Baines only wished to keep themselves harmless, and on
the messenger and his agent producing their authority,
the box was accordingly given up.
CORONER'S INQUESTS.—Yesterday, the Coroner held the
following inquests :—On the body of a person named John
Dixon, a painter, who from the evidence, it appeared,
went into Mr. Nuttall's public-house, at the corner of
Saltney-street, and sat down for a moment, and then
dropped dead. He had been ailing for some time past.
His death was the result of natural causes. Verdict,
died by the visitation of God. On the body of Elizabeth
Fenwick, who kept a small confectionary shop in Scotland-
road. It appeared that the deceased was 42 years old,
and that she had been subject to disease of the heart for
some years back. On Saturday she died suddenly, after
being at market. Verdict, died' by the visitation of •
God. On the body of a boy named Thomas Calvert, who
was killed by being driven over on Saturday (in Park-
road) by a car. It appeared that the deceased was
running across the road, when the car passed over him.
The car is the property. of Thomas Norton, and was driven
by a man named John Pickersgill. It appears that the
unfortunate affair was purely accidental, and that no
blame wets attached to, the driver. The jury returned a
verdict of accidental- death. On the body
.of a female,
whose name was not known, who was killed by a shandry
near the 'Adelphi Hotel, crossing from_ Brownlow-hill.
The shandry was drifred by a person named James
Watson, who was in custody.. The deceased seemed to be
a poor woman, and had a loaf of bread in her hand when
the fatal occurrence took place. 'On the evidence, it
appeared that the driver was not much to blame, as the
horse had a hard mouth., The jury returned a verdict of
accidental death, but at the same time, they thought there
was a great want of caution in the owner of the horse, in
sending out the animal without a proper bit to the bridle,
and that the driver was not as cautious as he ought to
have been in such a thoroughfare. The driver was,
however, discharged from custody. On the body of Ber-
nard Morgan, who resided in Glover-street. He was a
dock labourer, and was hurt on board the ship Mary
Cassells. when he was at work. He fell into the hold, and
died fromi the effects of the injuries. The affair was
purely accidental, and the jury returned a verdict of i
accidental death.
