ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH YORKSHIRE RATLWA Y.—
On Thursday, an accident occurred near thstlirdwell stationon
the South orkehire Railway. As a large coal train was
coming out of the siding of the Wharncliffe linkmen. Col-
liery a whorl done of the transoms of; and the body of the
Mock was dragged along the line for a distance of 300 yards,
on ifs progreoo lirealnng Newel of the chairs, tearing up the
rails, and doing other damage. A venial anstMe was imme-
diately sent off for sasistanee. and soon returned with about
100 workmen to repair the line. The peasemer traffic was
delayed for two hours, end the damage to the company's
property was estimated at 2001.—Mandirster Guardian.
FOREIGN-OFFICE, OCT. 13.—1 t is hereby notified
that the Right Hon. the Earl of Clarendon, her Maleety's
Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, has N-
ailed from the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty .
despatch from Rear-Admiral Sir Michael Semour,
commanding her Majesty's naval forces in CEns, dated from
on board her Majesty's ship Calcutta, August Bth, 1867,
stating that he had on that day established a blockade of the
port and river of Canton by • competent force under his
command. And it is hereby further notified that all the
measures authorised by the lam of nations and treaties will
be adopted and executed with raped to all vessels which
may attempt to violate the mid blockade.- -Geaste.
THE Ye ESTMINSTER BELLS.—AII the Westminster
hells are now coat. The notes are B, B (the octave
&a:ter e the great bell), F sharp, and CI 'harp. The B bell
weighs about four tons and the other three together a little
more than four tons, so that the whole peal, including the
great bell of nearly sixteen tons, weighs ea nearly as possible
twenty-four tons, aa originally estimated. If the tower and
the iron beams are ready for them they may be taken at, in
the warm of the neat month, and the clock is ready to Mow
them.
MANSLAUGHTER AT MERTHYR Trnm.—Another
atrocity ham been committed at the town of Merthyr Tydvil,
Olamorpashire. The name of the victim was Cornelius
Donohue. He was an Irish labourer. About midnight on
Sunday he was peeling down Itoaary-atreet, somewhat
the wont for liquor. In the street lives another Irishman
named Timothy Burke, and Burke's daughter Ellen happened
to be standintfmt tit, door. Donohue bad formerly bees on
terms of in with the young woman' as and be pared
her, he mid a words to her in a sort of rode joke.
It la stated that Ellen Burke entertained feelings of
jealousy towards the young man, owing to his having paid
attentions to some other young woman, but upon his mak-
ing to her she became very angry, ,
and used very abusive
end threatening language towards him and then, joined by
her brother and another young man and woman, com-
menced a moot murderous attack upon him. They
knocked him down, struck and kicked :him, and beat
him with stones, at the name lime encouraging each other
with such unmakes as "Give it to him," "Serve him
out," "Kill the—" Some friends of the unfortunate
man interfvred and endeavoured to rescue him. He expired

on thesp.:4,l.7i-was carrtd boron a corpse. lacternitlieTt
having been given to the police, the superintendent, Mr.
Wrenn, and some of his officers, succeeded in arresting the
two Burke., a men named Timothy Sullivan, sad a female
named Johanna Brien, all of whom were charged with having
taken part in the attack. The comma lass arranged for the
holding of the inquest.
An alteration in the ritual of the Russian mass is
about to take place as regards the prayers for the Imperial
family. 'tithed°, in some of these prayers, which are
several times repeated during the service, the officiating
priest mentions the name of every moniber of the family,
which considerably prolongs the service. It is now decided
that all the names shall only be proclaimed once, and that
afterwards the Emperor, the Empress, and the heir prawn.
tire shall be named, the other members of the family being
cited collectively without designation.
The Russian papers record that a few days ago a
person unknown, and who refused to give his name, went
to the prison of Tumene, in the government of Tobolsk, in
Siberia, and begged that nine pieces of linen might be so-
espied for the prisoners. In the linen were found wrapped
6,000 rotd6t• in notes and 1,429 in ever.

MONEY MARXIIT.-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLoca.

The funds remained quiet, but steady, during part
of the morning, and subsequently rose about 1 per
cent. There has since been an unfavourable reaction,
but prices are still quoted hilly as good as at 4
o'clock yesterday, and the fall which took place
after the recognised hours yesterday afternoon is
thus completely recovered. The other departments
of the Stock Exchange are generally better.
Consols for money have been dealt in from 871 to
881, and are now quoted about 871. For the 10th
November transactions are officially reported from
88 to 881, and the present quotation is 881 to 1. The
Three per Cents. Reduced are marked 881, 881, 881
and 884 ex div. ; the New Three per Cents., 87, 881,
and 871; Bank Stock, 213 ex div.; Exchequer Bills,
10s. to 6a. die. ; and Exchequer Bonds, 1858, 98k.
Turkish Six per Cents. were first marked 871, and
have since declined to 881 to 871 ex div. The Guaran-
teed Four per Cents. are in demand, and are marked
97 and 97f. Mexicanßonds have again fallen, having
been pressed for sale at 184 to 19. Other foreign
stacks are dull. Dutch Four per Cent. Certifs. have
been dealt in at 941 ex div. Portuguese Three per
Cents., 1863, at 43; and Spanish New Deferred
Three per Cents. at 25 and 241.
Apart from the severity of the recent pres-
sure for money, the Bank's metallic stock must
have been greatly reduced during the lest ten
days, for, in addition to the remittances to the
Continent, them in course of despatch to New
York, and the withdrawals of coin by country
bankers, the steamer Celt took out on Monday
106,0001. in specie for the Cape of Good Hope,
and the Australasian 30,3201. for Alexandria.
Payment must also be made for the large
quantities of silver in course of collection
on the Continent. On the other hand, a most
important point in our favour is a general and
decided rise in the Continental exchanges, conse-
quent upon the advance in the value of money here.
There were no withdrawals of bar gold from the
Bank yesterday, and, owing to the more advantageow;
medium of remittance now presented by bills,
coupled with the arrival of a large sum from Aus-
tralia and Russia, it is hoped that the drain of gold
from the Bank to the Continent is, for the present at
least, stayed. The extraordinarily high rates now
allowed for deposits have also attracted a more liberal
supply of money for employment in the open market.
One of the most encouraging features of the moment
is that, although such high rates of interest prevail,
there is no foolish indisposition to lend.
. .

• .
At Amsterdam on Monday a complete 'panic pre-
Tailed on the Bourse. The fall in Dutch stock
'mounted to about t per cent.; in Austrian to nearly
2 per cent. ; in Portuguese to 1 to 11 per cent.; and
in Granada Active Bonds and Spanish Old Three
per Cents. to 1 per cent. The other Continental
stock markets are much lees disturbed.
At Hamburg the rate of discount has farther ad-
vanced to 8 per cent.
Messrs. Ross, Mitchell,and Co., general:merchants,
of Gresham-street, and Toronto (Canada), yesterday
suspended payment. The liabilities are estimated
at about a quarter of a million sterling.
Several failures have been reported from Glasgow,
but, as regards one or two of the firms mentioned,
the announcement is at least premature, if not
altogether unfounded.
The failure of a highly respectable member of the
Start Exchange, a broker, was announced yesterday.
The liabilities are understood to be considerable, and
it is feared that the assets will be small. This
gentleman's cue excites sympathy, as his involve-
ment is understood to have arisen through the death
of a Liverpool client.
The Red Jacket has arrived from Melbourne,
with 68,000 oz. of gold on freight, worth about
264,0001.; and the California, from Sydney, with
18,000 Australian sovereigns. The remittance by
the Red Jacket is expected to reach London in a
day or two, and will probably be taken for the Con-
tinent. A portion has already been sold for expor-
tation. The dates brought by these vessels are old.
The steamer Berwick arrived in the Thames yester-
day from St. Petersburg, with 80,000 half-imperials,
er about 60,0001., on freight. This remittance was
in hand yesterday, and was purchased for exportation
to the Continent.
The steamers Brenda and Norna have arrived
from Constantinople. The former has brought
7,2501. in sovereigns, and the latter 6,0001. About
12,0001. more is known to be on the way from the
same quarter.
Some extensive supplies of continental silver in-
tended foe exportation to the East by the steamer
Indus on the 20th inst. have come in. The Dolphin,
from Antwerp, and the Rainbow, from Rotterdam,
bring a total of about 85,0001. Both these vessels
have arrived in the Thames.
We notice that the rate of insurance on remit-
tances of gold to New York has during the last day
or two advanced.
On'Change yesterda7 afternoon the rates for paper
on nearly all the Continental cities exhibited an im-
portant rise, and in some cases it was difficult to
place bills. The advance was especially important
as regards Hamburg and France. The current quo-
tations are shown below viz.:
Amsterdam, three roonthii,ll.l9l to 12.01; do., short, 11.16
to 17; Rottertbun, three months, 11.191 to 12.01 ; Ant-

owing to the state of the money market,
and, where sales were made, lower prices were ac-
cepted. A few sales of sugar took place at a fall of
2s. to 2s. 6d. per cwt., but the market was very un-
settled. Tea fell id. per lb., and tallow 6d. to Is.
per cwt.
The tenth half-yearly meeting of the East Indian
Railway Company is called for the 29th inst.
The half. yearly meeting of the Great Central Ou
Consumers' Company is called for the 30th inst.,
when a dividend is to be declared.
The final call of 15s. is to be paid on the Barking
Extension shares in the London, Tilbury, and South-
end Extension Railway, by the 2nd of November.
The half-yearly interest is advertised on the City
of Melbourne loan.

TUEBDAY ISTINING.

The money market continues unsettled, and the
pressure for accommodation at the Bank was to-day
almost as heavy as yesterday and on Saturday. The
rates of discount current in the open market are
generally above those of the Bank, and in most quar-
ters there is an indisposition to touch long-dated
paper, unless in the shape of advances for short
periods. These circumstances combine to maintain
a feeling of uncertainty and anxiety, and to keep
alive the fear that the Bank directors may ulti-
mately decide upon a fresh rise in the rate of dis-
count. Upon the whole, however, the apprehension of
a further immediate advance has somewhat subsided
to-day, an impression having gained ground in many
quarters that the Bank will pause until the weekly
court on Thursday. To-morrow the dividends will
be payable, but, as we have before pointed out, little
relief is anticipated from this source, owing to the
magnitude of the repayments due at the Bank, com-
mencing with to-morrow.
It was announced this morning by telegraph that
the Bank of France have raised the rate of discount
from to 61 per cent. A movement in this direc-
tion was inevitable, and the announcement therefore
excited no surprise here.

The funds opened this morning with

heaviness, and at one period prices showed a redue-
ion of fully one per cent. compared with the four
o'clock quotations of yesterday. At this point
numerous influential purchasers came forward ; par-
ties who had effected speculative sales hastened to
buy back ; a number of bond fide investments were
effected ; and the aspect of the market ex-
perienced • decided change for the better,
At four o'clock the quotations were equal
to those current at the same hour yesterday. Some
support was givea to the market by the appearance
of the government broker as a buyer of Exchequer
Bills on account of the Sinking Fund, for although
his purchase was limited to 10,0001. (effected at Bs.
discount) it was thought that further operations in
the same direction may be in reserve. After 4 o'clock,
however (at which hour the recognised buainess
may be said to terminate), the funds gave way
again. One of the features that chiefly tends
to discourage operators for the rise is the super-
abundant supply of stock in the market, coupled
with the general belief that this supply will here-
after be further increased by a government loan.
The rate of " continuation" on Consols this afternoon
rose to 7-16 to / per cent. Rates equal to 7to 71
pu, cent. per annum were freely paid this afternoon
by the first firms in the Stock Exchange. This
indicates that the public must absorb stock much
more freely before the market can be considered to
have a sound basis. Probably the reduced prices
now current will gradually induce this absorption.
Consols, which were quoted at 4 o'clock yesterday
871 to ■ for money and to-morrow's settlement,
opened this morning at 87 to 1, fell rapidly to 861 to
f, rallied, with numerous variations, until they
reached 871, and stood at four o'clock at 871
to 1. The price for the 10th Nov. was at the
same hour 581. During the eubseirent non-
recognised hours transactions to a considerable ex-
tent took place, and an unfavourable reaction
was shown. About half-past four o'clock
the current quotations were only 87,3 to
/ for money, and 871 to 88 for November, and sub-
sequently. stock was offered at still lower rates.
The official business report is as follows :—Three
per Cent. Consols, for money, 861, 871, 87, 87/,
871, 871 ; ditto, for account (14th October), 86, 87f,
871, 871, 873 ; Three per Cent. Reduced, 863, 851,

Bonds, falling payable in 1859, 983.
Sales of Exchequer Bills were pressed in the morn-
ing as low as 20e. discount ; but, owing partly to the
I purchase above referred to, the price had rallied at
the close to 10s. to ss. dia.
India Bonds have fallen to 30s. to 20s. discount.
The fluctuations in Turkish Six per Cents. to-day
were again of the most extraordinary character. In
the morning, on the fall in Consols, the stock exhi-
bited extreme depression, and sales are officially
recorded as low as 841 ex div. Purchases ensuing,
the price rose to 87 to 1, and stood about 4 o'clock at
881 to 871 ex dir., or about 3 per cent. lower than
at the same hour yesterday. Almost immediately
I afterwards a relapse to 861 to 1 took place. Turkish
Guaranteed Four per Cents. were marked as low as 963,
but subsequently recovered to the closing quotation
of yesterday—viz., 97 to /. Most other descriptions
of foreign securities were heavy, being additionally
prejudiced by the fall in some of the continental
markets.

THE INVITATION OF THE BISHOP OF NORWICH TO
vas Crmiter.—As there hem been some considerable miesp-
touching this invitation, as well as the meeting
Ci rn Festival week, we have made each inquiries es lead us
to believe that the following is the substance of what took
&LT-The clergy who attended were the Revs. Professor
ck, C. J. Blake, Burrell. Cavell, Cobb, B. Cook, W.
H. Cook, Cutting. Coldwell, Evans, Hosts, Holloway, C.
Morse, H. R. Neville, R. Rigg, S. Titlow, sad Will-
shere ; the Rev. J. Alexander, the Rev. 0. Gould, the
Rev. T. Wheeler, and other ministers, besides a number
al lay officers of the different churches and chapels—in
the whole about fifty persons. The bishop opened the
meeting by prayer and afterward. addressed the gentle-
men assembled, stating that he believed considerable tins-
maception had arisen as to the intention of his invitation,
and the under the circumstances, sa so few clergymen were
pesent, he thought it would be advisable to allow it to drop.
The Rev. S. Titlow, when called upon by the bishop, as-
persed his regret that so large a body of the clergy. as ap-
pend by their absence, did not accept the bishop., invita-
tion, but that he believed it we. mom from conscientious
view, than out of disrespect to the bishop, who was juely
esteemed by the clergy.—The Rev. J. Alexander and the
Rev. G. Gould acknowledged with gratitude the invitation
of the bishop, and accorded in his lordship's desire; and
Professor Sedgwick, we believe, whose devotion to the
Church of England cannot be doubted, expressed his
obligation to the bishop for having called them together,
and apprehended that it must be the desire of every one
to carry ont the object for which the meeting bed been
called. We hear that the Dean and Professor had been con-
sulted before the invitation to the clergy had been iseurd.
Ina clerical paper a letter appears, which attempts to con-
vey the impression that the meeting at the Palace was
seamy. We believe that no angry teenage arose or were
expressed, and that although the intention of Bishop Pelham •
was not attained, yet that hie worthy object will not lower
his lordship in the general estimation of Christians of liberal
views, and not lees religious or honest in their faith because
liberal, who desire to see mate and goodwidl prevail among
all denominations of Christians. This liberality of feeling
and views may not suit the Tracterian priesthood, but they
will at least be more in consonance with that spirit which
gave as the Lord's Pr:gen—Norwich Mercury.
THREE MEN KILLED IN A RAILWAY TU?INEL.
—bat mr.—An inquest was bald at Patter's-bar, yester-
day, on the bodies of three plate-layers who were killed in
the Potter's-ler tunnel of the Great Northern Railway on
Sunday morning. Nine men were employed in the tunnel
in repair.ng the rails, when, at a little past nine o'clock, an
empty returning cos' train end a passenger train entered the
tunnel at opnorits ends. The whole of the men at mirk,
numbering nine, got out of the way of the empty train. but
forgot the up passenger train, the tunnel being nearly filled
with steam until it was close upon them, and the reent
was that three of them were caught by the engine and lite-
rally 101■1114ed to pieces, the reniains being picked up in vari-
ous Felts of the tunnel afterwards. The driver sod guard of
the engine were not aware of what had taken place until
they arrived at the Holloway station, when they saw
the blood of the men upon the engine wheels. The
jury returned a verdict of death by misadventure, an-
companied by an addendum, to the effect that they considered
the present signal arrangements in such cases very defective,
and that a man and not a bey should be placed on all occa-
sions when men are working in tunnels at some distance
frees each cure:any with appropriate flap to warn engine-
drivers.
