Our stock market has been very animated since this
morning, and a very eager desire to purchase has been
manifested, which has occasioned the prices of all our
railways to rise several florins per cent. even before the
commencement of Change. The cause of this un-
expected change is a notice published in the Vienna Ga-
zette of this day, that the State resolved to purchase
railway shares at suitable rates. The imperial resolution
is dated yesterday, and announces that his Majesty has
been pleased to order that an extraordinary loan office
shall be opened in the department for the payment of
the public debt, which is destined to purchase with the
funds allotted to it shares in certain national railroads at
prices corresponding with their actual value. This
measure has caused a better tone on
'Change, and appears
to give more room for speculation.

DEATH BY HYDROFHOBIA. . OF MR. CONEY, OF

t appears, from the Bristol Times,
that Mr. Coney had just entered the army, having joined
his regiment in Ireland little more than two months
ago. While there, and about six weeks since, he was
one morning playing with a little favourite dog when
the latter bit his lip. The bite was rather a severe one
and Mr. Coney felt uneasy and. nervous about it, and, by
the advice of his friends, applied to the Horse Guards
for leave of absence, which, after some delay, was
granted him, and on Friday week he returned home.
While on his way back, and at Gloucester, he was first
seized with a paroxysm. He dined heartily, and had
then a cup of coffee, which, however, he had only just
taken when a violent fit came on. After a short remis-
sion the paroxysms returned with terrible force, and
continued, with a few composed intervals, until Sunday
morning, when they terminated his extreme agony. He
was attended by the most eminent medical men frum
Bristol, but skill, science, and medicine were all
perfectly impotent against the mysterious and awful
malady.
