-MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLooic. The operations in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Market during the last few days have been rather restricted. Sugar, however, has maintained its value, while good and finer descrip tions of coffee were a shade dearer. For tea steady prices have been obtained, while fruit, rice, and spices, have barely maintained former values. Saltpetre and tallow have been dull, but the latter article has slightly advanced owing to a speculative demand for forward delivery. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 475., and last three months delivery 48s. to 48 s . 6d. per cwt. There was a fair amount of business transacted in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were firm. The sales were 8,000 bales. The Delta which leaves to-morrow with the Bom • bay mails, will take out £289,535, principally in silver. It has been notified by the Spanish Financial Commission that the auction of the Foreign Redeem able Debt will take place at Madrid on the 27th inst., for which purpose the Government have assigned 5,171 072 reals. The inquiries for money continue moderate, and the quotations are scarcely so firm as they were a few days ago. A further supply of gold, amounting to £35,000 was withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday for exportation. Reports have been current this morning to the effect that the contemplated advance of £2,000,000 to £4,000,000 to the French Government on the deposit of Rentes will not be concluded. Various reasons are assigned for the coarse adopted, but it seems to be generally supposed that the principal cause is the annoyance felt by the French flovern ment in consequence of the publicity given to the operation by the English press, and the discussion on the subject which took place on Saturday by the Corps Lt , gislatif. In some quarters, however, the repudiation is attributed to the fact that the necessary deposit had not been secured. The whole affair, however, is enveloped in mystery, and it is quite probable that the public will never be made acquainted with the full particulars. In consequence of the statement that the arrange ments for the French loan will not be completed, some speculative purchases have been effected in the Market for Public Securities, which have exer cised a beneficial influence upon quotations, Con sols, which had been 92i 1 for money, and 92; 93 for the account, having risen to 921 93 and 93 -1 respectively. The New Threes are flat at 921 931; the Reduced steady at 93 -1 ; Exchequer Bills, March, have receded to Bs. and 12s. prem. ; ditto, Jane, to 10s. and lls. prem. ; Bank Stock remains at 240 and 242 ; but India 5 per Cent. has advanced to 1064 1. In the Foreign Market the transactions have not been so active, and prices, in some instances, show less firmness. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 841 85-1, ; ditto, 1858, 751; Mexican have receded to Mk; Russian 5 per Cents. are 98Z ; Spanish are 531 54t; ditto Deferred, 431 ; ditto Passive, 19t ; ditto Certificates, 71; Italian are flat, at 671, t; but Equador have improved to 181 I. The Moorish Loan is 5,1 prem. The operations in the Railway Share Market to-day have been of a rather restricted character. Prices, howevcr, have shown a further slight improvement. Midland, North Eastern (York), and South Eastern have advanced 55., Great IVestern 155., and Caledonian £1 ; Eastern Coun ties, Great Northern, Lancashire and Yorbshire, and West Midland remained at about previous prices. In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there has been little change of importance. South Aus trian and Lombardo-Venetian are a shade flatter, Sambre and Meuse have declined 55., Bombay and taroda 55., and Great Western of Canada and East Indian realise previous rates, Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue inactive. London and Westminster have, however, improved 55., Union of London 55., and London General Omnibus Co. ss. BRITISH FUNDS—ONE O'CLOCK. Bank Stock per Cent. Reduced Annuities 93 1 3 $ per Cent.

E MICAL WOR K. -About 10 o'clock on Saturday forenoon an acci dent occurred at Messrs. Hugh Lee Pattinson and Co.'s chemical works at the Felling, by which the lives of several men were very nearly sacrificed. It appears that at the time in question it became the duty of Robert Hunter, overman, a young lad named Stevenson, a man named Kennedy, and two other persons, to clean out a pit wherein chalk, after undergoing the action of muriatio acid, leaves a flinty deposit, which it is necessary to bring outoi the pit occasionally. This pit is twenty feet deep. and is entered by a hole at the top about two feet in diameter ; and in this instance the men seemed to have acted somewhat incautiously in descending at a time when there was a considerable quantity of carbonic acid gas floating in the pit, of the presence of which they appear to have been unsuspicious. It happened, however, that after they had been a short time in the pit a man named Quin, who was employed in the bleaching powder chambers above, descended from thence, still wearing the " nozzle" or protection for the nostrils against the injurious effects that would otherwise be experienced in that department o f th e wor k s; and he, hav i ng h i s suspicion aroused, went down the ladder into the pit discovered the men in a state of unconscious ness. An alarm was raised, and Mr. Watson, Mr. Nilson, and Mr. W. P roctor were soon on the spot, and in a short time the men were brought out. Mr. Torbock, surgeon, assistant to Mr. Coun cillor, had been summoned, and though the men had been very far overcome by the power of the noxious gas they were,after the application of proper restorative measures, so far recovered t o b e sent to their homes, no fears being entertained as to th e i r ultimate recovery. Had their stay in the gas been protracted a few m i n utes longer fatal r esu l ts must have ensued. As it was, Hunter and some of the other men were severely cut and bruised by th e i r falls on the flinty particles in the p it. —New cas tl e Chronicle.

Among some s ubscriptions sent through Messrs. Coutts and Co. was 110, collected among the English at Nice by the Rev. Lord Thomas Haye and friends. TUE ATTEPAPTED MURDER AT ROCHDALE.

MONTAGU repeated the notice which he gave yesterday for the appointment of a com m itt ee t o w h om should be referred the consideration of all sums of money voted for public purpases by the house, in order to secure the proper application of the same. THE COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH BELGIUM. Mr. FORSTER gave notice that on going into commit tee of supply, he would ask the Under -Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any new commercial treaty had been concluded with Belgium ? PUBLIC ave notice EXPENDI that on . Tuesday, the .Bth inst., he would as k whether it was the intention of Government to introduce any bill on the recommendation of the committee on the subject of public expenditure in 1856. POOR LAW (IRELAND). Sir R. PEEL gave notice that on Friday next he would move for leave to bring . in a bill to amend the law relating to the relief of the poor in Ireland. THE MURDER OF MR. WINCOTT. Mr. LEWIS asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether his attention had been directed to the recent murder of Mr. Wincott, in South-street, Manches ter-square, and to the investigation consequent thereon at the Marylebone Police Court on Wednesday, the sth Feb ruary ; and, if so, whether be intended to make any inquiry into the reasons which induced the presiding magistrate to sentence three of the men aiding and abetting in the murder to the pun ishment of s ix weeks' and one month's imprisonment resp ectivel y ? Sir G. GREY said he knew nothin g of the matter re latingr. : 1t Wincott,he posed sap the magistrate except from what he saw in o before whom the parties ac cused were brought did not the the newspapers, murder o f b con sider he was justified in committing more than one of them on the charge of wilful murder. However, as he was informed the c oroner's j ur y w ho investigated the case had returned their verdict, the persons accused would have to be tried, and under the circumstances he thought it would be most improper, for obvious reasons, to say anything calculated to prejudice this case. CANDIDATES FOR CIVIL SERVICE (INDIA.) Mr. STAC POOLE asked the Secretary of State for India whether it was considered necessary that the successful:can didates for Civil Service (India), reeiding in Ireland and Scotland, should be required, as heretofore, to remain seve ral weeks in London, or to return thither from their re spective places of abode, to be inspected by a medical prac titioner in London ? Sir C. WOOD said that it was thought necessary that the existing practice should be adhered to, and the candi dates for appointments in India were paid very liberally for their expenses. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Mr. WHITE moved that, so soon as the estimates are ready, one night in each week be given to their considera tion ; motions on going into committee of supply being on that day not permitted, except by express permission of the house. The hon. member entered at some length into de tails to show the necessity for an alteration in the present mode of conducting the business of the house. Since 1835 the estimates for the army had doubled, and the naval and civil service had trebled. He did not wish to interfere with the right of ample discussion on matters which private members might deem expedient to bring forward ; but he contended that the alterat'or. he proposed would not in the slightest degree curtail the means of such discussion. Having laid d3wn the position that the house was entitled to a greate~ control over public expenditure than it pos sessed under the existing system, he urged some additional arguments in support of his motion. Mr. EWART seconded the motion, and considered that the alteration suggested would effect the object proposed. Whatever contributed to the despatch of business in that house must b a public advantage. Sir G. GREY said that although he voted against the resolution brought forward last session on the subject, and which embodied the views of the hon. member (Mr. White), he agreed to the present motion in substance. He thought that when motions for the discussion of the public estimates stood on the paper, the Speaker should leave the chair with out any subject being brought forward, as at present on the motion for that purpose. At the same time exceptions might be made, and therefore any rule such as that pro posed by the motion of the hon. member (Mr. White) ought not to be adhered to invariably. He repeated that he ob jected to the form of the motion, which would not practi cally secure what the hon. member desired, but with some modification it should have his support. (Hear, hear.) Mr. PAULL objected to any alteration in the existing practice on constitutional grounds, the theory of the cot - stitution being that grievances should be discussed before public money was voted. He drew attention to the fact that the subject was considere i before four committees, but none of them had recommended the alteration proposed by the hon. member for Brighton (Mr. White). Mr. WILLIAMS supported the motion. He contended that, according to the present practice, the interest of the public was sacrificed, the time which should be devoted to the consideration of public expenditure being too frequently consumed in the discussion of subjects of a private character, and in many instances of interest only to the private members who brought them forward. The fact was, that these motions of private business very frequently occupied the greater part of the evening, and votes involving millions of expenditure were agreed to when the house was worn out, and perhaps only 20 mem bers present. (Hear.) He suggested also that the esti mates should be brought forward at an early period of the session, and an early hour of the evening, which would secure their full discussion. THE ANSWER OF HER MAJESTY TO THE ADDRESS. Lord PROBY, the Comptroller to the Royal Household, brought up the reply of her Most Gracious Majesty to the Address voted by the house, which was as follows :—" I thank you sincerely for your loyal and dutiful Address, and especially for ycur expression of condolence in the loss I have sustained." The debate on this subject was resumed. DEPOT BATTALION.

Mr. BAILLIB opposed the motion. Mr. WALPOLE denied that the alteration proposed would in practice give the house any additional con trol or power of checking public expenditure. Ho laid great stress on the fact that two of the committees, composed of the most influential members of the house, who had this subject under their consideration refused to make any recommendation on the matter. The Govern ment had already deprived private members of their consti tutional privilege of bringing forward what they considered grievances on certain evenings, and he called on the house not to consent to any further curtailment of these privileges. He alluded to the circumstance that the late Sir Tames Graham, one of the highest authorities, and who was ch.,irman of one of these committees, had warned the house against the adoption of any such altera tion as that now suggeMed. Sir G. C. LEWIS said he would take this question on the issue of whether or no it would facilitate the progress of business in the house, and he was of opinion that it would do so. The right hon gentleman then proceeded to show the extent of the private motions, which occupied a large portion of the time of Parliament to the detriment of the duo consideration of the public estimates. (Hear, hear.) He thought that the motion of the hon. member (Mr. White) would accomplish what it proposed, and would in no way produce the evil effects predicted by hon. members who were opposed to an alteration in the proceedings of the house.

Yesterday, about 1 o'clock, a lamentable accident, causing injurie s more or less severe to nearly 30 people, occurred in the Waterloo-road. For some days past it appears that a sheriftla officer has been posted in ten of the little houses and shops on the left side of the short street called Wellington terrace, running from the south side of Waterloo bridgeto Stamford -street. The occupiers are tenants of a kind of middle-man, named Jeffs, a builder in the Corn wall-road ; one Jones, living in the vicinity, being the superior landlord. They have, it is said, in every instance paid their rents, due up to last quarter day, to Jeffs, and hold his receipts ; but, in spite of that, on Friday or Saturday last a distress for rent, alleged to_be due from him, was put into every house at the instance of Jones, to the great inconvenience and annoyance of all of them. The houses there follow the incline of the roadway lead ing up from Stamford-street to the bridge, and in front of them there is a space, about 6ft. wide, and in places some 30 or 40ft. deep, covered over with flagstones mostly, with here and there an iron grat ing to ventilate and light the abyss below. It appears that yesterday morning " the man in possession" of the house and shop there of a widow named Clayton, a blind-maker, presuming on her forbear ance, left the place to go to a neighbouring public house for some refreshment. Her nephew, a young man, occupying apartments with his wife in the upper part of the house, taking advantage of the absence of their unwelcome guest, locked the door upon him, and on the man's return amused himself by laughing and jeering at him from one of the windows. The neighbours around and people pass ing treated this as a practical joke, and the fun continued all the forenoon. At length the dis comfited bailiff, procuring advice and assistance, attempted to break in the door, using for that purpose and with much violence a piece of short, stout planking. With this he stove in two of the panels and effected an en trance. The nephew of the widow Clayton, rather than allow his and her furniture to be retaken for rent which they conceived they did not owe, began pitching chairs and tables out of the windows into the street. Of course, a scene like that in a great public thoroughfare attracted the notice of every one passing, and. a crowd col lected in front of the house. Most of them unhap pily —men, women, and children—stood upon an iron grating, about six or eight feet square, near the adjoining shop. In an instant this grating gave way, and some 25 or 30 of the unfortunate people fell pell-mell into the area beneath, a depth of about 35 or 40ft., shrieking terribly. Several others were caught by bystanders as they were falling with the rest, and so rescued. The greatest consternation prevailed above and below. The people in the street rushed down to the Belvidere-road, which is on a level with the bottom of the area, to render what assistance they could in the emergency. A yawning gulph appeared in the street above. By degrees the people who had fallen were got out through an adjoining house an the lower level. They were in many cases shockingly injured. Some had both their legs broken; others their skulls fractured ; .all were more or less wounded. It was distressing, in particular, to see the bruises and broken bones which boys of 12 and 14 had received, and the grief to which their parents gave way. The sufferers were conveyed as speedily as possible in cabs to the nearest hospitals; the greater part of them being taken to that of St. Thomas's, and the rest to Guy's and Charing cross, except a few who lived near and were removed to their own homes. One was a policeman who had been engaged in keeping order; another a shoeblack boy, who had his skull fractured. Subjoined is a list of them, with the nature cf the injuries they have sustained:-Francis Raymond, aged 41, 4, South Lambeth-road, injuries in the back and left leg ; Thomas Baker, 18, 6, Cornwall place, Cornwall-road, right thigh fractured and injuries to the face; Edwin James Robbins, 27, living in the Waterloo-road, injuries in the abdo men ; George Clement Ridley, 14, 188, Waterloo road, compound fracture of the right leg and scalp wound; Thomas Grange, 15, 2, Commercial-road, scalp wound and injuries to the left leg ; Edwin Woods, 14, 20, John-street, Waterloo-road, fracture of the pelvis and contusions; Frederick Harriman, 28, 2, Roupell-place, fracture of both legs ; Wm. Hember, 11, 42, Princes-street, Stamford-street, injuries in the right knee; John Wheelhouse, 32, Hammond-place, Cornwall-road, both thighs frac tured and foot injured ; Robert Larkin, 43, 15, Felix-street, Blackfriars-road, injuries to thigh and chest; Francis Cunningham (a shoeblack), 7,Woot ton-street,Cornwall-road, fractured skull; William Venus, 30, police constable 142 L division, 52, Bird street, West-square, injuries in the spine; John Head, 23, 47, Wentworth-road, Bow-road, scalp wound and injuries to both thighs; Daniel Mur phy, 35, 10, Waterloo-road, injuries to back and chest; Sarah Harding, 41, 27, Old Nichol -street, Shoreditch, injuries to right knee and abdomen; Mary Goldsmith, 18, 11, York-road, injuries to right shoulder and face t Fanny Robinson, 28, 1, Cox'h-buildings, Belvidere-road, injuries to back and right leg ; Rose Metlock, 14, 191, Wellington terrace, Waterloo-road, injuries to the left knee and chest ; Elizabeth Goldsmith, 14, 10, Princes-court, York-road, injuries to both knees and thighs. (All the above are in St. Thomas's Hospital, and the next two in Guy's.) Joseph Reader, 16, 181, Wa terloo-road, bruises and internal injuries; and Thomas James, 16, 56, York-road, fractured thigh. The next two are in Charing-cross Hospital-John Mitchell, 22, 4, Strand-lane, Strand, scalp wound ; and Alfred Absolam, 24, 1, Exeter 'Change, Wel lington-street, internal injuries, not severe. The fol lowing were taken to their homes :-Thos. Dalton, 12, 31, Southampton-terrace, internal injuries, and Henry Beard, portcr,York Hotel, scalp wound. The injuries in some cases are so serious that death is apprehended ; but up to a late hour last evening none of the sufferers had died. There are pecu liarly painful circumstances connected with the case of George Clement Ridley, a fine boy of 14. Not long ago his father and several of his little brothers and sisters died of a fever, and sines then his poor mother has been struggling to maintain the rest; of the family and herself. She was well-nigh distrac ted yesterday as she accompanied her unfortunate boy to the hospital. It appears that after the iron grating had given way it hung by the edge for a moment or two and then fell with a fearful crash, carrying some of the flagstones with it, upon the people who had just been precipitated into the area below, and also upon two children who were playing there. LATEST PARTICULARS. The fear that some of the unfortunate sufferers conveyed to the hospitals would not long survive the extensive injuries they had received has, pro videntially, up to the present time, proved ground less. Although all have suffered very much, our reporter, on making inquiries at St. Thomas's Hos pital, where most of the injured persons were con veyed, was informed that all were progressing satisfactorily. The boy Cunningham, w ho has sustained a fractured skull, is as well as can be Robbins, expected; but the unfortunate man who has sustained very severe internal injuries, gives most grounds for alarm. The housensout en rg a e p o p n r , e h h ow a . ever, up to the present time, does any fatal termination to any of the patients under his care. The two injured persons, Joseph Reader and Thomas James, at Guy's Hospital, are also going on well. Those in Charing-cross Hospital are reported as p rog ressing favourab l y. Crowds of persons have collected throughout th e day at the scene o f the acci dent but the police pre. ve nt all from approaching within danger. T HE PRIVATE DIARY OF RICHARD, DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM AND CHl:,mos, K.&.—The portion of these entertaining volumes which relates to politics serves to throw additional light on the struggles of Canning, Wel lington, and Peel for office, and the opinions of the King on the principal questions which then agitated the public mind. The sketches which the Duke gives of the society at the time are remarkable not less for their vividness than their fidelity. The entries in the Diary respecting the Bonaparte Family are replete with interest at the present daYl-04crver. LAW IA TELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) COMMERCIAL TRAVELLING —IN RE ROWSEtL This bankrupt was described es of Richmond-road, Dal ston, - commercial traveller, and now c - tree up on an applica tion for discharge from custody. Mr. Drew, Basingball-street, support ed. The failure is attributed to the insufficiency of salary, which had hze,a sud denly reduced from £3OO to £lOO per year, on which he had to maintain a wife and seven children. His Honour granted an immediate discharge. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE TURNER. Tbis bankrupt was a licensed victualler and builder at Penge, Surrey, and this was a meeting for last examination and discharge. Mr. Brough appeared for the bankrupt, Mr. Dowse and Mr. Redpath for creditors, and Mr. Sorrell, Mark-lane, for the assignees. The opposing creditors asked for an adjournment sine die, without protection, as the bankrupt had not filed any accounts. Mr. Sorrell said he could see no good from such a pro ceeding. The assignees wanted to get accounts from the bankrupt, and it was not the way to get them by depriving him of protection from arrest, as men could not make cut accounts in prison so well as when they had liberty and fru access to their books and papers. He (Mr. Sorrell) there fore thought it desirable that a day should be named, with protection. Mr. Brough said the cause of delay was the illness of the bankrupt —and asked an adjournment, with protection, till the 27th March. Mr. Sorrell suggested that as there were many creditors desirous of proving the proofs should be sent to him for examination before the next meeting. The list was very long (nearly 80 causes) chiefly first meetings disposed of by the Registrars. POLICE I.NTELLIGENCB.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CHARGE OP STEALING A CORONER'S WATCH AND CHAlN.—Sarah Evans, a prostitute, was charged with. stealing a watch and chain from Mr. James Teague, coroner and magistrate, of Highe House, Blakeney, Gloucester shire. On the prisoner being placed at the bar, Mr. Tyrwhit t asked where the prosecutor was? Godwin, 206 C, said the gentleman was in liquor that morning, and that might perhaps account for his not being. present. The gentleman was a coroner, and he thought he would attend. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked what the charge was ? The constable said for stealing a watch and chain. It appears that Mr. Teague went into a public-house in Holborn and had some drink with the prisoner, and left with her in a cab, and on arriving at the Black Horse, in Coventry-street, missed his watch. The prisoner was searched, but the watch and chain were not found, and the cab had driven away, and Mr. Teague gave the prisoner in charge. After waiting some time, prisoner was discharged, no prosecutor appearing. TEE MURDER IN MARYLEBONE. The adjourned coroner's inquiry relative to the circum stances attending the death of Mr. John Wincott, lately carrying on the business of a butcher in South•-street, Manchester-square, was resumed this morning by Mr. Humphreys, at the Bedford Arms, South-street, Man chester-square. •It will be recollected that the four men, Quail, Walsh, Cox, and Poulton, on Monday week created a disturbance in front of the shop of the deceased, and that in his en deavour to prevent Quail assaulting Byles, he (Quail) seized one of the knives lying on the shop board and ',lunged it into Mr. Wincott's abdomen with such vio lence that death ensued in a very short time afterwards. After the evidence, which was the same as that given at the Marylebone Police-court, had been completed, The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against all the four prisoners.
