The weekly meeting of the Bank of England
Directors has separated without adopting any of
the measures which were rumoured yesterday.

There is an extremely inactive market for public
securities, but their quotations are fairly supported.
Consols for money have been 88 to 88i, and for
account 881 I, but they have since been 88k I. Ex-
chequer Bills are 7s. to 4s. discount, and India
Bonds 7s. discount. The New 3 per Cents. have
been 8711 to 88, and the Reduced 87 to 87i. India
Stock is 226.

In reply to an inquiry by Mr. Webb, the secre-
tary of the Stock Exchange, it has been elicited
that, in the opinion of the Board of Inland Reve-
nue, no deduction for income tax should take place
in the dividends on the Turkish 4 per Cent. Loan,
guaranteed by England and France, where the
bonds are proved to belong to foreigners residing
abroad.
Foreign Securities are generally quiet, but
rather heavy. Mexican Stock is ) per cent. lower,
namely 191, and Russian 5 per Cents. have de-
clined to 94. Spanish Passive are 6. Dutch 2/
per Cents. are marked 631, and the 4 per Cents.
931 to 94. Turkish 6 per Cent. Bonds are dull a
791 to 80k, and the Now Scrip is again quoted at
4 to 4/ discount.
The following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks: Grenada Deferred Bonds, 61 to 7 ;
Mexican, 191 to 1 ; Peruvian, 74 to 76 ; ditto Three
per Cents., 52 to 4; Portuguese Four per Cents.,
43 to 45 ; Russian Five per Cents., 94 to 97 ;
ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 85 to 88; Spanish
New Deferred, 19/ to 20 ; ditto Three per Cents.,
38 to 381 ; ditto Certificates, 41. to 41 ; ditto Pas-
sive, 6 to 1.

This is " ticket day" in the Railway Share
Market, and the preliminaries for the adjustment
of the account have been in progress. The " Con-
tangos" are, in several cases, heavy. Most of the
principal lines are higher, but the general business
is of a limited character. There are very few trans-
actions in the Foreign Market.
St. John Del Rey Shares have risen 10s. to 1/.,
but the Lenares are weaker. Union of London
Bank Shares are rather lower. Amsterdam are
down 1/. Crystal Palace Shares ruled steady.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT PllTNEY.—Yesterday mornine
an accident, which was unfortunately attended with fa-al '
consequences, occurred to a middle-aged man of the
name of George Laurance, a pl,sterer, residing at Put-
ney, under the following circumstances :—lt appears
that the poor fellow was employed on a scaffold in front
of a new building now in cour,e of erection at Putney,
when his attention being called to a man below he un-
fortunately lost his footing, and fell a depth of 40 to 50
feet. In his fall he struck against the " putlocks," and
bounding from one to the other received very severe in-
juries. He was at once picked up and taken
to St.
George's Hospital, where it was a.certaitied
,by blr.
Phipps, the house surgeon, that the poor mans spine
was broken. Every attention was paid him, but he ex-
pired shortly after his admission. The body now awaits
a coroner's inquest.
BANK OF ENGLAND.—The fact of the Governors of
the Bank of Eng!and having bad an interview yesterday
with the Chancellor of the Exchequer in Downing-street
has been followed by a rumour that the Government
have intimated an intention to authorise the Bank to
increase the notes they are allowed to issue on secu-
rities beyond the present total of 14,000,0001. The
impression is, that the interview was for the rm--
pose of conferring on the financial requirements of the
Government during the next few months, and that, if
anythingg passed regarding the general amount of the
circulation, it was confined to an !intimation that the
Government, whenever it may be thought desirable, will
be ready to take the subject into consideration. At the
same time, itis not improbable that the desirab'eness of
making up the deficiency in the country circulation
wh!cl-i has taken place owing to the failure or retire-
ment of individual banks, has at length been entertained.
The total of that deficiency about 700,0001., and .
tie fifth clause of the act of 1844 the Government ari•
empowered, on application being made to them by tb.
Bank of England, to order the issue of additional note-
to the extent of two-thirds of the amount, the profits of
which issue are to go to the State. The increase which
could be made would, therefore, be about 470,0001.
