TWO HEN POISONED BY AMBER SPIRITS. e This morning information was forwarded to Mr. Payne, the City °occur, of a shocking fatality which took plate at Fenning's Wharf, London•bridge, last evening. It appears that two men were discovered hat evening in the cooperage of the above wharf, lying apparently dead. One of them, a man named John West, aged 45 years, a labourer, was found lying on a cask of amber spirit which, it was evident, he had been snaking up through a small tube. The other man, Daniel Frenning, wu only a few feet off, and he was totally insensible. It is presumed that both men took an opportunity of drinking the amber spirit, mistaking it for brandy, not being aware that it was one of the most powerful spirits known, being 60 degrees over proof, and it being imported only for the purpose of adding strength and flavour to other spirits. Mr. Lacey, surgeon, and the police were soon an the spot, and every effort was made to re sunitate the two men, but with success only in the cue of Daniel Preening. John West was quite dead. Frenning wu so injured by internal burns that he bad to be carried to the hospital, where he now lies in a dangerous state. He IF states th►t West shrieked out before he died, "I am burns, l g . lam burnt," and, placing his band upon his sheet, fell se down apparently dead. Spirits of amber are said to be 1 p much stronger than spirit' of wine. io THE GREAT CITY BURGLARIES. RECOVERY OF JEWELS, Ioo.—(THIS DAY.)

The increase in the discounts is satisfactory, as denoting a little more movement in trade. The rise in the price of cotton this week, which l appears to have been based on the assumption that in the event of peace no very large quantity is likely t o arrive from America, is in favour of better divt dends on the liquidation of the estates of several firms that have failed lately. A good deal of the cot ton included amongst the assets in these cases ham doubtless been transferred to creditors as security against their claims. A general meeting of the shareholders of the London, Hamburg, and Continental Exchange Bank (Limited) was held yesterday, when it was unanimously resolved, that the transfer of its boldness to the " General Exchange Bank (Limited)," be confirmed.

It is mentioned that the object is to carry on " in the British Colonies and adjacent territo ries" the business of a Land and Credit Company. Preliminary arrangements have been made for buying estates in Natal and in the Orange Free State to the extent of 300,000 acres in each, con sisting of grazing and agricultural land, on which it is proposed to induce emigrants to settle.

Having nerd to the de mentia state of trade in the South African colostril, it wee deemed prudent in October hit to declare en Maim divides(' of 31 per neut. only, bet the mediatory retains since repaired from the several brunches enable the dine. tars to recommend for the approval re the ebanholders dividend of 18e. per shame,which, with the payment made is October, 1864, will be at the rat* of 8 per oast. per erw num, free of income tax, leaving a balance of NU. 9s. 41. to be curled kr ward to the profit and loss account for the next ball-year.
