The Bombay has just arrived from Ichaboe, with a
cargoe of guano. She left there on the 12th of June.
At that date there were no less than 48 British ships
there taking in large quantities of the manure. At the
adjacent islands there were eight or nine other English
ships similarly employed. This intesesting branch of
trade appears to be very rapidly on the increase.
From the shipping reports, it appears that a consider-
able quantity of Brazilian sugar has just arrived off the
coast, not less than five large ships having waited, a day
or two since, for orders. A portion of this, we are told,
is the production of free labour. The bulk of the arri-
vals have been ordered to the Continent for sale.
The Funds have been rather steady this morning,
though at the opening there were several sales made at
a slight depression as compared with the closing rates
last evening. The Government brokers have bought
5,0001. Consols at 981. For the account the present
value is 981. For Reduced Annuities 99,4 has just been
paid, and for Exchequer Bills 71s. to 735. premium.
Bank Stock is at 199 for money, and one-half per cent.
higher for the account.

In the Foreign Market, the principal transactions have
been in the Dutch Funds, the Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
having varied from 61i to 61k. There is not a quota-
tion for French Stock to-day. Spanish Consols are at
221 ; Portuguese Converted at 44 ; and Mexican at 35i.
In the Railway Share Market the more prominent
variation is the Birmingham and Gloucester Shares,
which have fallen from 124 to 2 and 3 premium. Most
of the other Shares are also lower. A considerable
amount of business has been transacted this morning. In
Banking Shares there has not been 'a transaction re-
ported up to the present hour.

An interesting ceremony took place last week at
Val-de-h-Haye, near Rouen. A subscription of 5,000
francs having been entered into for a monument to mark
the spot of the first resting-place on the river on the oc-
casion of transporting the remains of the Emperor Na-
poleon to Paris, the inauguration took place on the
15th, in the presence of the authorities and an immense
multitude.
SHOCKING AND EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT AT
THE IMPERIAL GAS-WORRS.—Mr. Wakley on Wednes-
day held an inquest at the Albion, Maiden lane, King's-
cross, on the body of Abraham Hawes Goulding, aged
35, a workman employed at the Imperial Gas -works, in
the immediate vicinity. It appeared from the evidence
that the deceased was what is termed a pattern-maker,
or maker of pipes for the Company. On Monday last
he was in the retort-house of the factory, with four
other workmen, employed in moulding a pipe in a lathe
ten feet long. He had a large iron gouge in his hand at
the time, ‘t hen suddenly the pipe flew, and some portion
of it striking the deceased, knocked him down, and in
his descent the unfortunate deceased fell with his left
breast on the edge of the gouge, which passed through
his left breast and penetrated his heart to the depth of
several inches. He was heard to exclaim, " Oh, lam
bleeding, I am bleeding," but before any of his compa-
nions could get near him he had ceased to exist. The
deceased had fixed the pipe in the lathe himself, and the
whole arrangements respecting it were under his imme-
diate control. The jury returned a verdict of " Acci-
dental death."
