SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE CRYSTAL

This morning an accident occurred, by which
sever ' perms travelling by am of the up-Crystal
Pace trains were Wend, and it le feared that two indi-
viduals are so badly hurt that they moot keg survive.

found nunnery to remove these, one to St. Thomas's end
the other to Guy's If called. The latter gentleman, who
was the mammies clerk to Bah, Croft, and Co.,
has received. beetles ether injuries, a broken arm, the
blade-bone of the shoulder is Wintered, and his left aide
lacerated. The other gentleman, it is feared, bar received

beds in the hospital, but their injuries cannot be reduced
until they have somewhat rallied from the shock to their
raters. The other three mann' were able to be removed
to their homes. The tine was cleared so quickly that the
teak was not delayed men than five minutes.

MONEY

r.-THIS DAY.

Two WOLOct.
This being of the days fixed for the striking
of the half•yearly balance at the Bank, the transfer
offices at that establishment are closed. The Stock
Exchange is also shot, according to custom.
The failure of a broker, a member of the Stock
Exchange, is announced. The party in question
had transactions for " the rise " open in a con-
siderable number of stocks, but his liabilities are
not expected to prove heavy.
The Vimicra has arrived off Portland from Syd-
ney, but is not known to have any gold on freight.
The dates by this vessel are old.
The 195,4001. in gold brought by the Anglesea
from Melbourne is not expected to be in hand until

next week.
According to telegraphic advice@ from Vienna,
the embarrassments of the market arising from the
extraordinarily rapid creation of new securities have
at length become so serious that the government
has been compelled to institute an "inquiry" as to
the advisability of restraining the operations of all
companies which contemplate making fresh demands
upon the market. The result of this inquiry, it is
stated, is to be communicated without delay:
The shares in the Russian railways remain nomi-

raspy quoted Ito prem.
The chief movement in the Stock Exchange yester-
day was in French railway shares, in which there
was a species of panic in the morning, but a decided
recovery in the afternoon. The rumour that the ne-
gotiations for a fusion between the Paris and Lyons
and Lyons and Mediterranean Railway companies
have been broken off is altogether contradicted, and
it is stated that the proposition may be regarded as
decided upon. The fall in the former company's
shares is attributable to the disappointment felt
at the dividend which has been declared
at the meeting just held at Paris. The
dividend remaining to be received by the share-
holders is announced as 431 f. per share, making a
total distribution of 81f. per share for the year 1856.
An impression seems to have been entertained that
the forthcoming payment would amount to 50f. The
meeting of the Lyons and Geneva Railway Company
is stated to have passed off satisfactorily.
The Paris minces communicate some further par-
ticulars relative to the general meeting of the Credit
Mobilier Society, which was held in that city on
Tuesday. The dividend was fixed at 90f. per share,
making, with the 25f. already paid in the shape of
interest, a total distribation of 115 f. per share of
500 f. for the year 1858. This is at the rate
of 23 per cent. per annum. A sum of
80,0001. was at the same time ordered to be
added to the reserve fund. The price of the shares
fell yesterday from 1,305 f. to 1,250 E, and closed
heavily. The dividend declared for the year 1855,
it will be remembered, was 40 per cent., immense,
profits having been made through the company's
speculations in the Austrian railways. The detailed
accounts of the company have not 7et been received.
It appears, however, that the society holds an ag-
gregate amount of 360,0001. in Itentes, 2,120,0001.
in shares, and 1,200,000!. in bonds. The stock of
securities held by it, chiefly on borrowed money,
being thus enormous, any important fall on the
Bourse must be a serious matter to the shareholders.
It is to be hoped that the mode of valuation adopted
is fair, since otherwise the alleged profits of the so-
ciety would be to a considerable extent very pro-
blematical. Amongst the assets are also
3,020,000!. of investments falling payable at fixed
periods, including loans to railway compa-
nies, &c. We fear, however, that no inconsider-
able proportion of this enormous sum has been em-
ployed in fictitiously enhancing the price of certain
stocks on the Bourse. The bulk of the operations of
the society are evidently of an extremely, speculative
character, as even the variation in its dividends tends
to prove, and thus we cannot feel surprise at the
distrust with which its progress is regarded in
England, despite the distinguished success to which
its administrators lay claim. So long as the country
continues prosperous and tranquil the undertaking
may exhibit a large apparent surplus; but in the
event of a new financial or revolutionary crisis in
France, the affairs of a company with such vast out-
standing engagements would probably be thrown
into utter confusion.
An extraordinary general meeting of the Peel
River Land and Mineral Company is called for the
11th of May, to alter the period for holding the
meetings of the company, as well as the period up
to which the accounts are to be made up, and to
reduce the number of auditors from four to two.
We have already noticed the declaration of a
dividend of ss. per share at the meeting of the
London General Omnibus Company, held in Paris.
This payment is to be receivable on the 4th of May.
The half-yearly interest, falling due on the let of
May, on the City of Montreal Bonds, and Wilming-
ton and Raleigh Railroad Bonds, is advertised for

payment.
The second series of colonial wool sales commenced
yesterday. There was an average. attendance of
buyers from the manufacturing districts of England
and Scotland, and a large number of buyers from the
Continent. The latter, it is understood, are very bare
of wool, and they bought freely; but English opera-
tors purchased very cautiously. Comparing the
closing rates of the last sales with those of yester-
day, we notice an average reduction of about lid.
per lb.
We notice that a meeting of the silk trade is
invited by the committee of the London Silk Con-
ditioning House for the sth " on important business
in relation to the conditioning establishment."
With reference to the market for American secu-
rities Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co. report at
follows : . .

The market for American securities continues without
animation, and prices are without change.

TinCRSDAT EVIII4IO.

The funds experienced a decline of / per cent. this
morning, owing chiefly to the unfavourable nature
of the advises from the Paris Bourse ; but upon the
breaking up of the weekly court at the Bank of
England a recovery took place, and the closing
quotations of yesterday were maintained with steadi-
ness up to the termination of business. The market
presents no new feature of importance.
In the discount market to-day there was a steady
demand for money, but no pressure. In the Stock
Exchange money was in demand, and commanded 7
per cent. on government securities, but in the after-
noon the tendency was towards more ease. The
fortnightly Stock Exchange settlement in shares and
foreign stocks was completed to-day.
Commis, which closed yesterday at 921 to 1 for
the 7th May, opened this morning at 921, and
after temporarily receding to 921 to 4, were last
quoted 924 to 1. For money the last price was
921 to 1. The offivial business report is as fol-
lows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 922,

Turkish Six per Cents were again more offered
to-day, but showed rather more steadiness in the
afternoon. The quotation at 4 o'clock was 921 to
for the 14th May, being L per tout. below that of
yesterday. The giarant;ed. Four-per-Cents. were
quoted 100 to 1. Spanish bonds were rather weaker.
