FATAL ACCIDENT,--All accident of the most hor-
rible nature befel a young lad at work in a hay-field near the
town of Romsev Ilants. on Friday last. The young man,
whose name vvas'Fizh, was in the act of descending a ladder
from the top of a hayrick with a large fork in his hand, and
whether he let the fork drop and lost his equilibrium it is
not. known; but he was observed to be struggling on Ihe
ground, and was heard to exclaim, " I am staked, I am a dead
man. After about thirty hours of the most excruciating
agony, death put an end to his pains. A post mortem
exami-
nation took place when it w s found the handle of the fork
had passed up into the cavity of the abdomen, until it reached
diaphragm,the when it was stopped by that strong material.
The blunt handle of the hayfork had carried away with it a
part of the lad's trousers, which gave way at the moment of
its entry into his body.

ATHENS, JUNE 25.—The Wanderer states that
King OTHO, in following the example of the SULTAN,
bas commenced a tour, and has set out for the Cy-
clades. His reception is said not to have been parti-
cularly cordial, for the people were depressed by their
lengthened sufferings.
The budget, which amounts to 22,000,000
drachma. has only a reserve of 8,000,000 to depend
upon. ibis tremendous deficit is attributed not only
o the insufficiency of the resources, but primarily to
-he avarice of the officials.—Barnburgh Courant,
July 5.

STONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TW 0 O'CLOCK.
The Cot ton Minket at Liverpool yesterday was active at
higher prices. The sales were estimated at 12,000 bales, one-
half being taken for export and on speculation. The sales
comprised 9,000 American, 400 Pernam and Maranhani, at
714 d. to Bd. ; 450 Bahia, st 774(1. ; 300 Egyptian, at 71/2d. to
81/2d. and 1,800 Surat, at 41/2d. to 6d. per lb.—Railway
?hares were quiet, and prices had rather a downward ten-
dency.
The public sales of Indigo began yesterday; the quantity
leclered being 1-1,226 chests, partly in second bands.
The Bengal is about three-fourths good and fine, and one
fourth mid and ord. The Madras was one-third good with
a few fine fine, and two-thirds mid and ord. The Kurpah
half good and fine, and half mid and ord, and the little
Java put up was of tine quality. Upon the question of a
re-tare of the Indigo that has been in the warehouses
more than twelve months, and to which we referred some
days since, it was agreed that a special meeting should be
called before the October sale. The Bengal offered
yesterday, being a mixed parcel, was mostly with-
drawn ; prices ruling from par to 3d. per lb. higher
than last May. The Kurpah was 3d. to 4d. dearer, and the
Madras went at par to 3d. advance. Of the 1,095 chests
which passed, 734 were sold. For these particulars we are
indebted to Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewesbury.
The meeting of the Union Bank of London proprietors has
been held this morning, and a favourable report being pre-
sented, it was adopted unanimously. The directors state
that the extreme depression in the value of money
during the past year has materially diminished the
amount of profit which the extension of the business
of the bank would otherwise have produced; but the
proprietors will observe that, notwithstanding this disadvan-
tage, the net profits of the year amount to 33,8581. 95., out
of which sum the directors' now declare a dividend of 6 per
cent. per annum, clear of income-tax, amounting to 25,3741.,
and appropriate 5001., as usual, in reduction of the preliminary
expenses, leaving an unappropriated balance of 7,984'. 9s.
to be carried to profit and loss new account.
At the last annual meeting the proprietors, by a resolution,
recommended the directors to take into their consideration
the subject of the interest then allowed to customers on their
current accounts, and the directors having considered the
question so referred to them, concurred with the proprietors,
and on the 20th July last the following modification of the
system was agreed upon, in the fairness of which the cus-
tomers have almost without exception acquiesced : "On
all accounts where the balances shall at no time during the
preceding six months have been below 500/., interest
at the rate of 2 per cent. will be allowed on
the minimum monthly balance as heretofore. On all
accounts where the balances shall at no time during
the preceding six months have been below 2001., interest at
the rate of 1 per cent. will be allowed on the minimum
mcuthly balance. On accounts which at any time during
the preceding six months shall have been below 2001., no
interest will be allowed." Inquiries having been made by
several proprietors with reference to a connexion sup-
posed to exist between this bank and the Royal Bank
of Australia, the directors feel that it will be satisfactory to
the proprietors to receive their assurance that the only con-
nexion which ever existed between this company and the
bank in question was the ordinary one of banker and cus-
tomer; and that the dealings of this bank with the
Royal Bank of Australia were always confined within such
limits as to exclude all possibility of ultimate loss accruing
to this company.
The prosperity of banks, with certain reservations, is a fair
index of the prosperity of the mercantile community, and we
are especially pleased to observe that the establishments con-
nected with the British West India possessions, and which had
previously made such heavy losses, are slowly recovering
part of their lost capital. In this way there is very little
doubt that the Colonial Bank will ultimately stand in its
original position, and which it well deserves to do, after the
great sacrifices made by its proprietary, who are receiving
now but two per cent, per annum for their money, the re-
maining profits being applied to the fund for meeting bad
debts.
The English Funds have been rather extensively dealt in,
but firmly support their former price. Co 'ails have been
quoted 96/4 to 97, and for August 97 to Vt. The intelli-
gence from Paris of the conduct of the Montagnards in the
Assembly is not particularly dwelt upon, although the direct
attack upon the Republic shows how bold a front the re-
actionists are assuming. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have been 983/4 to 99, and the Three per Cents. 97
to 97%. Bank Stock has been firm at 211, and India stock is at
265 to 1/2. Exchequer-bills have been quoted_67s. to 705.,
and India Bonds 87s. to 90s. premium.
The Foreign market has been dull. In Peninsular Securi-
ties there has been scarcely a bargain. Spanish Three per
Cents. have been 371/2. Brazilian Small Bonds are 92.
Peruvian are nominal, and Equador have been 33/1. Danish
Five per Cents. have realised IC2 to 1031/2. Dutch Two •
and-a-Half per Cents. have been 57 ex. dividend.
Railway Shares have been without any uniform move-
ment. North Staffords are better, as it is officially intimated
that there will be no further call. Great Western and the
other lines are much the same. North British flat. Foreign
Shares continue in request, and East Indian have touched X
premium.
United Mexican Line Shares have been more looked after
and have reached 6 and 64.
