SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES OF ROUGH PLAY.

An inquiry was held at Horton-house Lunatic
Asylum, Heaton, last evening, by Mr. Richards, deputy.
coroner, respecting the death of an inmate named Joseph
Williams, aged 29 years.
The principal witness In this case was Jonah Williams,
a veteran who had fought under fair John Moore, in the
Peninsular campaign. He rid that hie son's malady
bad lie origin in the rough sport of his playfel-
lows, who, when be was lei: years of age, kept turning him
round rapidly one day until he became insensible. He
afterwards bad a series of fits which affected him brain for
several years. He recovered to a certain extent when 18,
and at 24 he married. Four months after his marriage he
went mad. Ultimately he had to be met to the asylum.
When under restraint he was so violent that be had to
be placed at night in • room by himself lest he should
injure the other patients. On last Friday morning he was
found hanging out of bed with his head on the floor. He
was quite dead. He had apparently worked himself into
that position in a fit.
The jury returned a verdict of " Found dead from the
effect. of a fit."

PROPOSED REDUCTION IN PUDDLERS" WAGES.

DETERMINATION OF THE MENTORESLST.

Yesterday afternoon, a meeting of del tee from
the various ironworks in South Staffordshire, laao.ahire.
North Staffordshire, and the North of England, was held
at the of of the Associated Ironworkers of Great
Britain, Brierly Hill, to discuss the reduction proposed
by the imam:stem at the last preliminary meeting in Bit.
mingham. The representatives laid before the meeting •
statement of the affairs at the various works where they
were employed for consideration by the assembly. After •
long discussion, the following resolution was unanimously:—" That this meet*, after having beard and
Srerately considered the statements given in and read by
the several delegates, is of opinion that the notice given
for a reduction in prams is both unjust and unwarrantable,
and it has therefore absolutely arrived at a similar deci-
sion to that which the members at each yaks have, that is
to strenuously op the reduction in the event of the
employers attem to micros the same at the expira-
tion of the notice. '
It is expected (says the Birutisghavi Post) that • con-
ference of the ironworker` representatives for the whole
United Kingdom will be held during the week, to discuss
the above question.
The notice terminates on Saturday next.
The generally expressed opinion in the district is that
the strike will not continue many week,, but the men
seem confident that they shall succeed.
Yesterday • numerous meeting of the forge and mill-
men employed in the Easton district was held at the
Bull's Need, High-street, in that town. After a lengthy
discussion upon the proposed reduction of wages, for the I
oonsideration of which the meeting was oonvened, the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted:—' That this meeting
enters its protest against any attempt to reduce the wages
of the ironworkers of Minton and the surrounding die-
tries' ; and we are of opinion that it is unconstitutional
and uncalled for on the part of the masters. Therefore,
we pledge ourselves to resist this redaction to the very
aasaao ".

GOVERNMENT INSURANCES AND ANNUITIES.—
According to an amount published this mornii.g, it ap-
pears that the number of contraeta entered into with the
Postmaster-General for immediate annuities from the
commencement of business in April, 1865, to the 31st
December, 1867. was 561, representing a total amount of

MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Cent. Leans of 1862, 1858, 1880, and 1883, were
deposited in the Bank of En?land by Senhcr
Aragon and Messrs. Rothschild, m the pretence of
a notary pul lic, antOantflig to no less than 506,6001.
Those purchases date from the Ist of April, 1866,
to Ist October, 1867. The annual sum appropriated
for their amortization bythe contracts on which the
Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Loam were raised is
184,6751., which is, however, increased by
the aocumulation of the interest on the bonds re-
deemed, which, by the terms of the contracts, is
squally applicable to sinking fund purposes.
Under the operation of the low values of the
Four-and-a-hall per Cent. Loans, their redemp-
tion is now going on much more rapidly than wall
contemplated at the time of issue. Should the
price continue as at present, they would be
redeemed as follows :—Vhe loan of 1852 in 19
years (1887) ; the loan of 1868 in 14 years (1882) ;
the loan ut 1860 in 18 years (1888); and the
Joan of 18n3 in 214 years (1884). The annual
Isinking fund on the Five per ()ant. Loans of 1839
and 1859 amounts to 21,2401., plus the interest on
the redeemed bonds; and on the Five per Cent.
Loan of 1865, which is redeemable at par, to
73,2001., plus the same interest. The capital sum
now due on the former Five per Cent. Loans is
only 919,2001. • and that on the latter Five per
Cent. Loan, 6,963,6001.
The committee of the Stock Exchange have
appointed Thursday, the 9th inst., • special
settling day in the Four por Cent. Preference
(Convertible) stock of the Caledonian Railway
Company, which is to be marked in the official
list.

ONE OTWOL.

There is an increaaed amount of business in the
-Stock Exchange to-day, and the general tendency
of prices is upwards. Purchases have been induced
by the circumstance that the dividends will
be paid to-morrow, as well as by the announce-
ment that 1,300,0001. in Australian gold is now on
the way to England, a large portion of which
is likely to be retained here. The fine
weather has also had sonic favourable in-
fluence. Consols are still in demand, and have
experienced s fresh rise of k per cent. A similar
movement has taken place in the Three
per Cents. Reduced and New Three per
Cents. Foreign stocks are to I better, and are
likely, according to the present tone of the market,
to improve still further during the day. Railways
likewise meet with inquiry.
In anticipation of the payment of the dividends
to-morrow, the supply of money in the discount
market has further increased, and choice bills are
taken at to per cent. below the Bank of Eng-
land minimum. Loans are obtainable in the Stock
Exchange at I} per cent.
Consols are quoted 931 to for money, and 931
to if for the account (May 5), and the Three per
Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents., 92

unchanged at present, with the exception of • rise

The foreign stock market shows strength,
and a rise of 1 to 4 per cent. is apparent in the
Viceroy of Egypt's Loan, Mexican, Peruvian of
1865. Spanish of 1867, and Turkish of 1865. An-
nexed are the prices : Brazilian of 1865, 741 to
751 ; Chilian of 1867, 891 to 901; Euptian of
1864, 81 to 82 ; ditto, Viceroy Loan, 73

631 to 64 ; and ditto of 1865, 341 to 1.
The only change in Indian Securities is a reduc-
tion of Is. in the Four per Cent. Bonds, viz., to
275. to 32e. prem. The Five per Cents are at
1131 to 1144 ; the Four, 100 i to 101; and the Five
5 per Cent. Debentures, 105 to 1. Exchequer
Bills have risen 25., the present price being 9s. to
14s. prem., but Bank Stock is fiat at 244 to 246.
Only a few dealings have been recorded in bank
shares, but Anglo-Austrian are in request, at 41 to
4 prem. London and Westminister are quoted 671

; London and Brazilian, 30 to 28 dia. ; Imperial
Ottoman, 3 to 1 prem. ; and Consolidated, 1 to ft
prem.

With reference to the affairs of the Great
Eastern Railway, we have received a copy of a cir-
cular proposi=ng &scheme for the readjustment of
the company's financial position. This plan pro-
poem i. The construction of the metropolitan
branches as a separate undertaking, to be leased on
completion by the Great Bunters Company. 2. Pro-
viding for the other Boating liabilities of the com-
pany by the issue of 1,715,0001. of ordinary stock
at 35 per cent., so as to obtain 600,0001. in cash.
3. A concession by the preference holders, the r.a-
tnre of which is described in the annexed para-
graph :

At Paris to-day the Three per Cent. Rentes

change.
With reference to the Spanish Colonial Eight
per Cant. Loan, we have received a communication,
from fibich it appears that the list was closed last
evening, and that the " applications are satiable-
tosy, both in number and amount."
It appears that considerable competition is still
going on, both amongst English and foreign
capitalist:, for the privilege of ministering to the
pecuniary needs of the Viceroy of Egypt. Assuming
the complete failure of the loamand consolidation
contract, to which attention has previously been
directed, it would seem that no long period will be
suffered to elapse before the matter will be arranged
afresh, the position of the Western money markets
being propitious, and the Viceroy's requirements
being sufficiently urgent to render it advisable to ob-
tain an advance on account of the proposed new
loan with all reasonable speed. According to
one rumour, however, the amount of the
impending operation will not exceed 4,000,0001. to
6,000,0001. of stock, instead of the much larger
sum previously spoken of. Special revenues will
probably be airigned to the new stock, but it is
not easy to see what is the pracias value of such
hypothecations, nukes they be accompanied by a
:aarshalganisatlaaems a themionll= thet revenues
,Wrs
and their punctual application to the stipulate{
In this respect the various classes of
ptian bondholders have been far too remiss.
As another safeguard, before say new loan is
granted to the Voter/ he ought to Mai himself
