It appears that the Union Bank of London have
entered into an arrangement with a view to place about
£4,500,000 of additional Portuguese bonds upon the Lon-
don market between this date and the end of next year.
The Union Bank will execute this service for a commis-
sion of 1 per cent., making no further charge of any kind.
The operation commences by their opening a credit for
£lOO,OOO, which they undertake to advance so soon
as they receive an amount of bonds equivalent in
market value with an additional margin of 8 per cent.
When the sale of the first £lOO,OOO shall have been com-
pleted, and the Bank are repaid their advance, with interest
at 1 per cent. above the current rate of the Bank of Eng-
land, a fresh credit of like amount is to be opened, and so on
until the close of the transaction. The issue of these bonds
is for the purposes of railway expenditure.

According to the financial accounts from New
York the reaction in the premium on gold has been caused
by a report, very generally current, that Mr. Chase, the
Secretary of the Treasury, alarmed by the remonstrances of
the banks and the principal capitalists against his wild
schemes for an unlimited flood of paper, was about to make
different proposals. Some persons believed that instead of
an unrestricted issue of Government notes he would now
resort to the more honest course of raising money by the
creation of interest-bearing securities to be sold at their
market value. It was seen however by the parties in Con-
gress and elsewhere interested in keeping up the national
outlay, that the limits of this measure would be very nar-
row, and it is remarked by the New York Journal of Com-
merce that " the army of leeches fastened on the Treasury"
are all clamorous for the original plan. Meanwhile, from
the uncertainty thus occasioned, the money and exchange
markets were in utter confusion, and fluctuations of 3 or 4
per cent. in the value of bankers' bills are alleged to have
taken place in a single day. There is still much talk of re-
sorting to taxation, but the majority of observers are be-
lieved to be perfectly convinced that the moment its practi-
cal operation begins to be felt all enthusiasm for the war
will be at an end.

SHOCKING AND FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE KEN-
xINGTON TRAmwAY.—Yesterday Mr. C. St. Clair Bedford,
coroner for Westminster, received information of the death
of a youth named Shaw, arising from an accident, which
occurred under the subjoined shocking circumstances, in
the Westminster-road, near Astley's Theatre, on Saturday
last :—The poor lad followed the occupation of a shoeblack,
and his station was at the corner of the York-road, nearly
facing Astley's Theatre. On Saturday afternoon, at five
o'clock, he was crossing the road, when, from some unex-
plained cause, he came in contact with one of the Brixton
omnibuses, which was at the time running partially on the
tram rails laid down for the use of Mr. Train's cars. The
wheels of the vehicle passed over the unfortunate boy, the
hinder wheel nearly removing the uppermost portion of
the skull. On being picked up it was found that the shaft
wheel of the omnibus running on the metal lines of the
tramway had lacerated the poor boy's head in a most fright-
ful manner; in fact, he was literally covered with the blood
which gushed from his wound. He was immediately taken
to Westminster Hospital, but, as may bo supposed, his case
was considered hopeless from the first, and although every-
thing was done for him by the medical officers of the insti-
tution, he only su vived until ten o'clock, never having re-
covered from the state of insensibility in which he waswhen
he was first picked up.
