Tw• ceOLocz.

Business in the Stock Exchange this morning
has been interfered with by the Lord Mayor's
show. The transactions in every department
have been limited. The funds, however, are
steady, at the closing quotations of yester-
day. In the other markets there is no variation of
importance with the exception of a rise in the
Turkish Loan of 1858, and in the Spanish Coupon
Certificates. Midland Railway Stock, however,
continues to rise, and South Eastern to decline.

Consols are still quoted 94 to I, CUM div., for
money, and 92} to j, ex div., for the account.
There was a better demand yesterday in the die-
count market, many borrowers having apparently
waited until the Bank of England reduced their
charge. The rate for good bills in Lombard-street
was 21 to 4 per cent. At the Bank of England
there was a slight increase of business.
The new Italian Loan coutinuea very heavy. The
effol a of Continental holders, who are over-
charged with it, to effect sales in this market ap-
pear to meet with little success. The loan is of
large amount, and is evidently badly placid.
Moreover, there is a prospect of another creation
next year. Hence the continued heaviness of this
5 per cent. stock, notwithstanding its low price.
About 10,0001. in gold was withdrawn from the
Bank yesterday for the Peninsula, whither gold is
continually being sent in moderate amounts.
The mail steamer Oneida will take to-day
3,3781. in gold and 9,5001. in silver for Brazil.
About 750,0001. in gold is advised by the preaent
Australian mail as having been shipped during the
month. It is not stated, however, whether the
whole of this is for England.
The tendency of the foreign exchanges yesterday
afternoon was again flat, although there was not
much alteration in the rates. Subjoined is our
usual list :

Amsterdam, 3 months, 12.01 to ; ditto, 3 days, 11.181
to ; Rotterdam, 3 months, 12.01 to 1; Antwerp, 3
months, 25.571 to 621 ; Hamburg, me. lance, 3 months,

at Hamburg, 3 per cent.
The Liverpool cotton market yesterday was very
firm, and the sales extended to 20,000 bales.
A special meeting of the Great Ship Company was
held yesterday. The directors' report states that
the repairs of the Great Eastern will cost 8,0001.,
to meet which the present assets of the company
will suffice. 25,0001., however, will be required to
equip her for another voyage and to provide work-
ing capital, and the directors propose to raise this
sum by the issue of debentures bearing interest at
10 per cent. on a second mortgage ; 15,8001. has
already been taken up. The chairman, Mr. R.
Baker, complained of the publication of "exagge-
rated statement's" respecting the recent accident
to the great ship, and expressed his confidence in
her ultimate success. 150,0001. had been offered
for the Great Eastern, but this proposal was not
in any way entertained by the directors. If the
shareholders subscribed the money, there would be
a mortgage of 60,0001. on the vessel. Several
shareholders spoke in favour of an enquiry into the
causes of the late disaster, but the directors' report
was eventually adopted, ogether with a resolution
in favour of 25,0001. being raised.
Messrs. Durant and Co.'s monthly silk circular,
dated yesterday, reports as follows :
We have again as unsatisfactory report to give of ilk.
Transactioes steamily have been upon a limited end., awl
prices barely supported. The deliveries are less unfavour-
able than the previous mouth, but still not good. In China
silk we have bad an occasional appearance of business and
sales of parcels of decent extent ; but this has been only oc-
casional, awl the market generally has been heavy—so
much so, that notwithstanding the continued small supply of
"classical" chops, the prices of these silks have given way
Bd. to Is., thus reducing them to about their usual parity.
Chinese thrown silk continues neglected. In.repan silk a fair
business has been done—the sales fairly keeping pace with
the arrivals. Bengal silk shares the geuersl quiet, unfortu-
nately to the fullest extent. In Italian silk we have very
little doing. In Bruit. and Persian silk nothing.
The Gazette specie statement for the week end-
ing Wednesday last gives the following totals,
viz. :—lmports of gold, 183,6401. ; exports of gold,
99,5181. ; imports of silver, 195,6001. ; exp irta of
silver, 26,8411.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT BURY.—Yesterday after-
noon, at the Bury Station of the Lancashire coal York-
shire Railway, an accident occurred under the following
circumstances :—The train which was proceeding frau
Leeds to Liverpool, and was due at Bury at 12.37, was ap.
proachiug the station, being only about 100 yards distant,
when by some means, just at the junction of the ',Mute, the
first carriage was dragged completely over, and fell against
a goods train on the siding ; the second carriage had •
pair of wheels torn off, and the third carriage did not
appear to be injured. There were only three car-
nage. in the train. The engine passed all right, bat
it is supposed that the first carriage caught one of
the poima, and thus the accident occurred. Very few
passengers were in the train, and some is,esped with only •
few bruise.. Mr. Hazlitt, waste dealer, Bury, was seriously
injured. He was conveyed home, and some medical mess
visited him immediately. Mr. William Porritt, school-
master, Bamford, wu conveyed to the Albion Hotel, in a
state of insensibility, and no hopes are entertained of his
recovery. His wife and child were with Lim in the carriage,
but escaped without much injury.

trian, and 'Aycock, who had been matched to walk tea

THE DEATH or THE ELDEN'S WARDER OF Till
Towen.—Died on Sunday last. Mr. A. Thompson, in his
84th year, forty-four of which he had been warder at the
Tower, he being the only one left who had purchased his
sitoatioo. The Duke of Wellington, in ltelti, when his
grace took the constableship, and subsequently his suc-
cessor, Viscount Combermere, gave away together no lees
thee one hundred appointments, without demanding the
fee of 300/., the sum required for a wardership prior to that
date. The deceased warder had for several years been
allowed by his brother warden to take duty at the entrance
gate, not being cababile of roodneting visitors round the
armouries. There is • vacancy now for some old soldier as
the approval of the Constable Viscount Combermere.—
