Demme, Vas. 24. The coroner's jury, who have been inquiring into the can of the late fearful shipwreck of the Queen Victoria, at Howth, have returned the following important verdict with respect to the only body recognioed of those that have yet been discovered : We end that Jobs Reardes, jun., came by his dealt by drowning, he being at the time • pawner oa board the Pasta Victoria steamer, floss Liverpool to Dahl", which mid steam -e hip was wrecked as the laming of the 16th February, 1653, off Howth, sad that his death was osessioned by the culpable neglect of Captain Chards sad Thomas llama in not slaskeniag speed in a now stern which eiseared all lights, sad they knowing they were approach iltti, the first mate, was then placed under arrest, and committed, on the coroner's warrant, fur trial on &charge of manslaughter, but bail was accepted and entered into for his appearance at the commision, himself in 1001., and two sureties in 601. The jury returned a verdict in the other cams to the effect that the bodies were found drowned in the Bay of Dublin. The Clare grand jury were occupied during the whole of yesterday in examining witnesees in the Biz-mile-bridge affair, and had not, up to the time the latest account. left, been able to agree to • find ing. The conclusion which they might arrive at wasconsidered very doubtful, though the more gene ral opinion was that they would ignore the bills. The following letter from the Under-Secretary, received by the governors of one of the Dublin hos pitals, clearly indicates the intentions of the present Irish government with respect to these institutions: Dublin Castle, Feb. 18, 1853.—Clentlemen—The estimate which has been received of the expenses of the Westmore land Lock Hospital for the year en di ng 31st of March, 1954, Wag in amount 2,5001., • sum much larger than can be to parliament for • vote, I an directed by the Lieutenant to request that you will cause as amended ultimate (in duplicate) to be transmitted to this ofilm as sees as poesible. The sum voted fir the present year was 1,5001., and his excellency has recommended to the Lords COlSMillgolliff of the Treasury that the vote to be prepared the the year 1853-4 should be 1,7501. (the amount voted for I 851), together with the sum of 2611., required t defray the mosso of expenditure in the present year beyond the 1,6001. 1 am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, Tatomas A. Lame._ — The Lord-Lieutenant received a deputation from the Incorporated Society of the Attorneys and Soli citors of Ireland yesterday, relative to the recent appointment of Mr. Kemmis, Jun., a barrister, to the dice of Crown Solicitor for the Leinster Circuit. His Excellency informed them that he had read their memorial, but reminded them that the appointment la question had been made by the late government, and that if legally made, it could not be revoked. He then asked for the opinion of counsel that had been obtained on the subject, which he would have submittcd to the law officers of the crown, and added, that his own feeling on the subject was in !avow of the appointment of solicitors to those very few offices which properly belonged to their profes sion, but that it did not rest with him to decide on the legality of the appointment which had been made ; although he believed that personally there could be no objection to the gentleman who had been sppointed. His Excellency received an address yesterday from the Association for Promoting Christian Know ledge, and accepted the offer of being President of the Society. Yesterday her Excellency, the Countess of St. Germane, went to the Royal Dublin Society House foe the purpose of presiding at the distribution of prizes to the female pupils of the Public School of Design. The steamers sent to Howth by the Dublin Steam Packet Company, under the superintendence of Cap tain Dennis, for the purpose of raising the wreck of the Queen Victoria, were obliged to return last evening owing to the rough state of the weather. Captain Dennis had, however, succeeded in get• bag two chains under the wreck, and when the weather becomes favourable the operations will be renewed. The Mull has the following paragraph : It is currently rumoured to-day that the late member for Carlow is to be got rid of, by being appointed to the Clerk- Mip of the Crown in the queen's Bench, vdcant by the death of Mr. Pierce Mahony. The salary Las good as that of a Junior Lord of the Treasury. but the office of Clerk of the Crown bac this atleantage—that it is held for life. Unless he can olitain a return to parliament he must vacate his seat at the Trtaaory Board. A horrible ease of domestic murder was tried yes terday at the Clare assiun, the charge being that of the murder of a young man named James Stackpole, by several member.. of his family, for the purpose of passaging themselves of some small property to which he was entitled. Richard Stackpole, one of the prison er , was yesterday found guilty • and three others, who ref use d to .join in their challenges, will be tried fur the same crime to.ilay- The Curk Examuser has the following curious statement Information has reached us of a plan which is at present brie; carried oat by the tory Duty, and which invciores a ails mad moot audacious vielahon of constitutional freedom.

From this, however, another l important deduction must be made ; the estate was charged with various annuities, amounting to gether to nearly 3,6001., payable for the most part to the Countess of Belmore, aged 69 years, and to other elderly ladies. The orate was put up in 48 lots, and the aggregate produce of the sale was 145,8601., being about 19 years' purchase on an aver age. Some of the lots most heavily charged with the annuities sold at rates of about 14 years' purchase, and others exceeded 20 years. An estate in the counties of Galway and Roscommon, belonging to air. N. Dare, sold for about 14 years' purchase. The gross produce of the day's sales was 157,8601.

TMCIODAT Bynum,. The railway market opened favourably on further purchases against " bear" accounts, but subsequently slightly relapsed, particularly for the heavier stocks, and, with the exception of Caledonian, the tone was generally rather weaker at tho close. The latter advanced, on a report that the dividend is to be more than was stated a few days back (viz., 13s. 9d. per share). Owing to the large purchases of these shares made for some time past by parties connected with the company, their market value is easily affected by the various rumours daily in circulation relative to the dividend. THIS DAY—Two o'CWIE. The railway market is steady, with a limited busi ness, the settlement of the account having commenced. The rates of continuation to next account are light. Caledonian, Great Western, and London and North- Western are rather better, and Edinburgh and Mu gow, Brighton, and Dover worse than yesterday. French sham s are all higher.

The shares of Australian companies are especially inquired for. Speculation tends decidedly in favour of mining and other adventures connected with the gold countries. Ave Maria, British Australian, and Liberty shares were higher; and Port Phillip, Noveati Monde, Colo nial Gold, and Great Nugget Vein particularly firm. Waller shares were more offered to-day in the mar ket, but many . of the most respectable jobbers will not make a price to do business, refusing to have anything to do with the "rig."

The English stock market was very firm to-day, and, although not closing at the highest point, the general appearance of the market was improving. Stock continues to be absorbed by the regular pur chases on account of the Sinking Fund, and this influence, in combination with the renewal of the imports of gold, prevents the reports of Continental political difficulties from having any depressing effect. Were those difficulties removed, there can be little doubt the market would manifest a decided upward tendency. The Bank of England weekly court broke up, as we anticipated, without the issue of any announcement calculated to affect the money market. Money was to-day easier in the Stock Exchange, at 1 k to 2 per cent. on government securities. Currency has been given to exaggertted reports of the decrease in coin and bullion to be exhibited in the next returns of the Bank of England, the falling off being stated in some quarters at upwards of half a million sterling. We understand the decrease will be less than 100,0001. Consols opened 99 to for money, and after ' reaching 991 to for the 10th March, finally left off 991 to t, and 991 buyers, respectively. The govern ment broker effected his purchase at 991. The official list of actual business is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 991 a ; ditto for awsount. 991. Three per Cents. lied:hee. 1003, t, Three-end-a-Quarter per Cents., 1031,1, 1, 1. Long Annuities, 1860, 61. India Stock, 268, 266. Bank Stock, 227, 1, 2261. The market for Exchequer Bills is better, and business is more freely transacted. The June bills were dealt in at 125., 175., and 20s. prem., whilst the advertised issue marks 10s., 14e., and Bs. prem., closing Bs. to 13s. prem. Moro steadiness is appa rent in this market. In the foreign stock market there is no feature of much novelty. Mexican Bonds improved to 24 to 1, being scarce amongst the dealers. Turkish scrip fully maintains its improvement of yesterday. and was purchased at 11 prem., in consequence of the in telligence received by private letters, and published by us, to the effect that the Porte has decided to grant an indemnity and 6 per cent. interest, or to ratify the loan on the terms stated in the firman of August last. Swedish scrip remains heavy, whilst Dutch stocks show a continued upward ten dency. Business throughout this department is very scanty. The list of sales includes:— Brazilian Four-and-a-Half per Cent., 1852, 971. Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates, 991, 99. Mexican Three per Cents., 241, 23i, 24 ; ditto for account, 28th February, 24. Peruvian Deferred, Three per Cent., 63. Russian Five per Cent., 121. Sardinian Five per Cents., 93, 94i. Spanish New Deferred Three per Cents., 233; ditto Passive (Converted), 53 1 fo Swedish Mort gage Loan, 13, 2 din. Turkish Six per Cent. Scrip, 1, 11 prem. We are glad to observe that our remarks relative to the serious and continuous additions to capital by the Midland Railway Company have elicited some explanations at the half-yearly Meeting yesterday. The main point to which we drew attention was the steady addition for several years pest to the charge for rolling stock, debited to capital by this company and now returned in their accounts at 3,5271. per mile; and to the unfavourable contrast this sys tem presents to that of the London and North Western Company, the latter living as regularly diminished this item. The chairman's explana tion of the disparity is far from satisfactory. It is an apology rather than a defence, and simply to the effect that the London and North Western Com pany having originally paid dividends of 10 to 12 per cent., was able to defray a considerable portion of this charge from revenue•, while the Midland, having been, according to Mr. Ellis's statement, "al ways hard up," was compelled to make the capital ac count bear a considerable portion of this item, pro perly chargeable to revenue. The logic of this is simply that, if low dividends are earned, capital is to assist the revenue account, in order that higher and undue rates may be declared, and to this perni cious style of argument and too common practice is attributable much of the distrust which attaches to railway property. Whatever reasons may be assigned, the unfavourable feature of the Midland accounts, and one which provokes general comment, lies in the fact that this company divides 171,3221. among its various proprietors for the past six months, and at the same time, though one of the oldest railway un dertakings in the country, adds a total of 156,3821. to the capital account of the company, or nine-tenths of the profits declared. The public sales of colonial wools at the Hall of Commerce continue to be well attended by buyers, both English and foreign, though there are not so many of the latter as generally attend. Prices have improved a shade since the commencement, and it is fully expected they will continue firm until the end Tho last day of the sales is fixed for the tad of March. _ The periodical sales of silk commenced yesterday, and terminated this evening. The quantity offered was only 800 bales Bengal and 2,500 bales China. As usual, there were no bidding!' in the room, but business has been done to a fair extent by private contract. . The market for American stocks, this week, has been characterised by a steady demand for most de scriptions of securities. There have been some large purchases of New York and Erie Convertible Rail way Bonds. The shares of all the new Australian banks were in demand, to-da3, and realised decidedly improved prices. The shares of the older institutions connected with that colony are also inquired for, and show on upward tendency. The shares of the Oriental Bank have reached 501. Australian Agricultural were steady, and closed 250 to 255; ditto, ex Peel River, 113 to 118. There were dealings in Bank of British N irth American shares, at 591; Chartered Bask of Asia (51. paid), 41; London Joint Stock Bank, 21 ; London and Westminster Bank, 35; • Oriental Bank Corporation, 491, 50,1, 50; London hocks, 129; St. Katharine Docks, 99 ; British American Land, 511; Crystal Palace, 51; Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 87, 861; Royal Mail Steam, 821, 83; Submarine Telegraph (11. paid), lb The traffic returns for the last week on the under mentioned English lines of railway, as made up to this day, are as follows : 1853. 1852. 18.51.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. MARK.LANE.-THIS DAY. The supplies of all descriptions of grain base been small this week. Millers evinced no disposition to increase their stocks of Wheat, and purchases could be mach, to-day on quite as good terms as in the beginning of the week. Choice malting Barley was scarce, and the tura in prier was in favour of the seller; other descriptions were fully as dear as before. We have scarcely any Oats fresh up for this morning's market, nevertheless the demand was very inactive, and prices were with difficulty supported. Beans and Peas firm at former prices.

There is about an average supply of Sheep. The demand is not so brisk as on Monday, and it is with greet difficulty that the quotations of that day are supported. Although the number of Calves is not large, trade is so heavy that prices are lower.
