The "Horn Railway Market opened, dull, and daring the morning prices declined, in spit, of ner farourable tnc returns. Continued with draaals of gold make tha market grow uneasy, sad the tendency at such times i to sell.

Very bkelr, if the Bank directors put up their rate to twrrcr, the market will at one harden again. The clcaixLC pricea were about th. lowest of the dir. and Brighton A stock fell aa much as 2 pf rent. In United States Railway Stock the tendency was likewia.

Us.a tha fond tO which ta BUI af Entr oontrikntM ta ba (till applied to Its eaatit.Ua nurooM. to llasr tba Bill continue aa is at present puUiabed.

I Motan Is aa ta whether the names of tU importers and exporters should continue to giren la Bill wbiah, my opinio and that of tb iguatories to tb memorials, is of Immense lmlortne, arlng In mind that, even under the present twlatjona, the nam of any person entering good mltted oa bis request ia writiBg, but that no entry caa be wholly Th worUnrof this ml shows that the requests to suppraasUsebcea ae small as ameuat virtually to around our ahorea but th lot is sow mora than made good. Tb import show an Increaee oi nearly 13 per cent, on those (or November last year, and thi is th more remarkable, inasmuch aa they in their turn akowed th larr increase of 331 per cent, over th. figures for 1878. In other word, the total ralua of th import for tha month just closed how an increaee, ol about 404 per cent, on tne ngure tor November, 1878. Thu i doubtless to aome extent tha result of tha retarding influence at workduring October, but the result i from any point of view u'Eciently remarkable.

The figure in detail ar in some respects more satisfactory than thoso for November last year, inasmuch a the increase are to a entailer extent due to food import. Wheat show a considerable decrease in quantity and a still larger in value compared with a year ago, and tha falling off in tha import of potatoes i upward of a half. So too in the caa of oat and barley, currant and raisins, decreases cf greater or lea amount have cirred. On th other hand! there haa been a lam increase in tha Quantity and ralua of beevea imported and in Indian corn, wheat meal, tea, sugar, tobacco, rice, and win but tbe total in thee case are, a a rule, (mailer, ao that on tha whole tha increase for th. month on tha whole trad, of th.

country is less exclusively dua tb food requirements. In wheat alona the fall in value is 1,340,000. Among raw produce and in manufactures, cotton show the most important increase measured by tha totals, but the Mroentaee of increase ar ereater for corner. jute, and wood. Wool ha come in to a smaller extent oy per but ua value snow a itgnt increase.

There is, however, a sharp falling off in woollen yam, while tha compensation of batter price haa not been in their caa ao effective. As regard th xport figure, which give an increase of about 11 per cent, on those of November last year, there is not much to ba said, unlesa attention be directed to the fact that iron andateel again show a serious reduction in the quantity ex ported, although in higher prices ruling mate tha value (how an increase. It is ohviou that these higher price now injuriously affecting our market abroad. Cotton yarn, woollen, and worsted yarn, and worsted all show decreases mora or less important but in mort other respect the record oi our export business look healthily progressive. Th increase in cotton piece good is very large, and hardware, machinery and mill work, refined surar.

habvrdaaherr. and one or two other leadingarticle all ahow a very satisfactory expansion. The bullion movements of th month snow a net export oi in goia, as against a net export of 3,600,000 in November, 1879.

Barlow, F3.8., Freaident, in tna eoair, it was annoanoad that the council had recently transferred Henry Tecallaoa to the class of memlers, and had admitted 29 geatlemea as students.

Oeorg Mattbey, F.K.S., F.C.S., was made aa associate. Fatal Football Accidxxt. Yesterday an Inquest was held st the Southampton Guildhall, before Mr.

William Coxwell, the borough coroner, on the body of Mr. Stanley Brneurt Uibbs, 19, who died on Tuesday morning from the effects of injuries received on tbe afternoon of Saturday, tb 27th ult, whilst playing at football. Hugh Frederick Gibba, a brother of the deceased, deposed to the feet of the latter being brought to his lodgings on tha evening of th accident ou a stretcher, lie was tbea unable to apeak. Medical men were called In. After his brothar was put to bed he (witness) aaw him, but he eould mak no communication to him.

The following day be told him that whilst playing football in Porter's Meadow' he slipped down in the scrimmage, and some of the players on bis own tide fell over him. lie said he felt something snap, and thought he was dead. It waa a pure accident. Tbe witness was not playing himself, but was sent for when tbe accident occurred, ilia brother died about 6 o'clock oa Toes dsv morninK. George William Cepptr stated that be was playing ia the match with tbe deceased.

After a aorimmaee Lad broken op he saw tbe deceased on tbe ground unable to rise, and it was thought he waa out of breath. Tbe necessary steps were taken to recover him. and he waa afterwards carried into the club dressing room and laid upon the tabic He made no complaint, but aaid be bad no feeling below tbe cheat. The match was being played on tbe Bugby Union rule. In tbe witness's opinion tbe Association game was the most dangerouc If tbey thought a man was oalr out of breath he would be allowed to lie oa the ground till be could get on bis lege Leonard liarfield, another player, aaid he vent into the scrimmage at the stme time as the deceased, and the ball was then on the ground between the two teams.

They were not allowed to touch the ball in a scrimmage, and they were putmng one against anotner. ine witness did not eee tb deceased fall. He knew be bad fallea by missiDg him from his aide. The witness beard a cry a man down," They loosened tbe scrimmage to enable him to ret sd. but be could not.

There waa no "hackina" at all to tbe witness's knowledge. Several ethers ef tbe players fell, but not on tbe deceased aa far aa the witness knew. He beard the deceased say when on the pound, I have no feeling ia my leg." He agreed in Mr. Capper's opinion that there was less danger under the Bugby Union than the Association rules. He was sure that the deceased was not on the ground a quarter of an hour be waa nicked up in two or three minute.

Dr. George King stated that he was called to see the deceased about 7 o'clock en the evening of (be accident. Ha carefully examined him, and found him completely paralyzed ia the lower limb and th greater part of tb trunk, with partial paralysis of tbe anna. Such symptoms indicated sever Injury to the spinel cord, on a level with the sixth and seventh cervical verts bra, over which pert there waa a bruise, indicating sever pressure from small body, aad which might have been caused by the beel of a boot.Tbe young man died from congestion of tbe lungs, which always followed from such casec His recovery hopele from the first. This being tbe whole of tbe evidence, the Coroner briefly explained to tbe jury the law tif tbe ease, by which.

If bar was any unfair play ay bjl a kick from malice all joining in th affair would be. guilty of laanslanghtev, but happily there was an entire (beenc of any auch feeling ta si nrasaat case. Ha Boccd. however, the effect ef thia ssd accident would be a rrt'C'n to a lea cUngervaj mod of rjaying what formerly was a healthy and manly gam.
