MONEY MARKET. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Bank of England return completed to the 4th of June exhibits a large falling off in the stock of bullion, consequent upon the late demand for ex portation. The reserve of notes has also been largely diminished, and the private deposits exhibit a re. duction of nearly a mioilion and a half sterling. The other items of the balance-sheet show no important alterations; subjoined are the particulars Active Circulation .. 520,850,540 Increase .. 247 310 Bullion Decrease .. • . 15,486,723692,092 Rest .. • • •• 3,107,199 , Decrease .. 7864 Public Deposits • • • . 7,518,009 Increase .. • .. 580,201 Other Deposits.. . • • .. 13 , 188 , 136 Decrease • . • • • • .. 1,496,951 Seven Day and o th er Bills .• .. 664,703 Increase ..

The current demands are only sufficient to employ a moderate proportion of the available balances, and under these circumstances the banks and private houses freely negotiate bills at the prevailing quo tations. The a p pearance of the Bank of England return, published yesterday, although in some respects unfavourable, has not attracted much at tention, because the reduction of bullion was generally anticipated through the large with drawals which were known to have taken place on account of the Turkish and Russian loans. It is calculated that the net sum of the Moorish, Turkish, Egyptian, and Russian operations introduced since the commencement of the year, is about £ 12 , 0 00,000, of which £5,000,000 has already been absorbed. The transmission of the balance may assist in creating a little more firmness in the quotations, but the remittances will be made at intervals, and, in the meantime, large receipts may be expected from Australia, A merica, the West Indies, &c., which, at all events will partially re place the money that may be sent out of the country. At the Bank of England yesterday the bullion operations were not of an important character. The Hansa, from. New York, has brought £35,000 in specie. The accounts relative to the crops in France are very satisfactory, and a slight improvement is reported in commercial operations. Merchants and manufacturers continue to watch the course of events on the other side of the Atlantic with considerable anxiety, and the movement hope is indulged that some decisive will shortly take place, which will lead to the prospect of an early termination of the war, when commerce throughout Europe would, of course, receive an extraordinary impulse. There was rather less act 7 1 - ity in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, but prices were well supported. The sales were about 6,000 bales. Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Market during the last few days has been dull, owing to the absence of many of the dealers at Psorn. In the private market, however, prices generally have given way. Sugars have declined about 6d. p er cwt., while rice, tea, coffee, and miltpetre has been nominally cheaper. Tallow has slightly improved, the quotations for P.Y.C. being 465. per cwt, on the spot, and 48s. 6d. for last three months' delivery. Considerable depression has prevailed in the mar ket for American Securities during the past week. Messrs, Bell, Son, and Co. state:—" The market f or Americ an S ecurities during the past week has wh much weakness; both Government and State Stocks have been freely offered, and prices are generally lower. ' CITY NEWS-THIS DAY. Two O'CLOCK. Not the slightest increase of busin ess can b e re ported in the English Stock Market to-day, the dealings for transfer and also on speculation being very limited.

Eastern Counties are steady at 56,1 ; Lan cashlanire and Yorkshir e at 1071, ; Brighton at 122 Midds at 1271 and 127.

SENVARD.--A man, rs of age ; small under five feet in height, and of some 60 a small wiry made, with ernall delicate hands and feet, B andgrey eyes, a Tshould think, body, ;kin of scanty snow-white hair, deepset clear face perfectly clean shaved, and a smooth colou rl ess fea sort of parchment texture I Such were the outward.c.,. when tures that stru c k m e at On ce . Be was in his o ffice when half first I saw him, dressed in black, with his wa istc oat and a unbuttoned, nne leg over the side of' his arm-chair, Cigar stuck between hatesh lips. Barring the cigar and the_ o attitude, I should etaken him for a shrewd, well-to- do attorney, waiting to hear a new client's business. You a at ease with him at once. There are a frankness and bon homie about his tunerm which render it to my mind a vei l pleasant one. In Bnglish Phrase, Mr. Seward is g° 4s , company. A good cigar, company cveu if it is taut eoi pen risqu, are pleasures which a good glass of wine, and a goo d he obviously enjoys keenly. Still, a glance at that spare hard -knit frame, and that clear. bright eye shows you that no pleasure, however keenly appreciated, has been indulged in to Excess throughout his long laborious career. And, more than that, no one who has had the pleasure of seeing . hi m among his on. fatally eau doubt about the kindliness withof his disposition. It is equally impossible to talk much him without percei that he is a man of remark able ability. He has _ rearl.ad ch, especially of modern literature—travelled much— and seen touch of the world of man as well as that of book.---bieeye ipamingten during lif Wars SHARE MARKET---THIS DAY.

SECONDARIES COURT. (Before Mr. Potter and a Common Jury.) DEPLORABLE CATASTROPHE IN THE BRITISH CHANNEL. NORTON (ADMINISTRATOR) V. MERCER AND ANOTHER. This was a writ of enquiry sent down from the Court Of Exchequer to assess the damages laid at £1,500 sustained in consequence of the death by drowning of William Norton, through the negligence of defendants' servants. The facts of this case are somewhat affecting, as the action is brought on behalf of three poor little children. aged, respectively, 12, 7, and 5. The record sets forth that the damages are sustained by the said children by reason of the death by drowning of the father, which death was caused by the negligence of the defendants and their servants and mariners in swamping and sinking the vessel or cutter Hydra, in the British Channel on the 17th November, 1860, by and through the neglect in the navigation of a certain other ves sel called the Imogen, whereof the defendants were owners, the said William Norton, who was a master mariner, and then master of the Hydra, being then lawfully on board that vessel." Defendants, who are shipowners, have suf fered judgment to go by default, but have engaged the services of an eminent counsel to, if possible, mitigate the damages. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, for the defendants, said he should save the jury considerable pain and trouble in this case. The facts were that three poor children were de prived of their father, and he (the learned sergeant) had agreed with his learned friend Mr. Clark to allow a sum of £350. Mr. Clark—How should that sum be apportioned ? Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—Suppose we say 1150 for the eldest child, and £lOO each for the others. The learned Secondary-1 he jury had better be sworn, as we must record the verdict. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—Gentlemen, I am happy to say we have settled the case. The learned Secondary then directed the jury to assess the damages at £350. POLICE---THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET, THIS DAY. A CASE FOR THE DIVORCE COURT.—ALLEGED ADUL TERY.—Mrs. Mary Hasberry, the wife of Mr. Wm. Has berry, professor of music, and formerly with the Christy Minstrels, but now of Weston's Music Hall, was charged with wilfully breaking a pane of glass at the house of her father-in-law, Mr. Hasberry, a master tailor, of Meads court, Soho, as also with assaulting her husband. The father-in-law having proved the breaking of the window, The husband said his wife came to his father's house, whero he was residing, and asked him to receive her, he having left her in September last. He refused, in conse quence of something that had occurred, telling her that he could not think of such a thing, and that she had better take proceedings against him. She then caught hold of an iron bar that fastened the window, and, pulling it out, struck him a blow on the forehead. He had letters in his posses sion - Mr. Knox said he had nothing to do with that. The husband had a course open to him. If he was able to prove adultery he had better commence proceedings for a divorce. It was the most effictual remedy, especially as there were no children. The wife—Look at my arm. The husband—You did it yourself. The wife—He has wrongly accused me. Richard Kent, 191 C, said he saw the prisoner strike the complainant with the iron bar produced, her husband at the time trying to put her out of the house, but using no more violence than necessary. He also saw the window broken by her: _ . _ Mr. Knox said it was clearly a family dispute, and if the husband believed she was guilty of adultery he had better take the course helad suggested. The wife had also in the mealtime better make herself chargeable to the parish if her husband did not make an allowance, and then he would be brought before him (the magistrate). She must pay the damage, or havo three days' imprisonment, and be bound over to be of good behaviour for three months, anti if she offended again he should require sureties. MARKETS-THIS DAY. MARK-LANE. The show of samples of English wheat on sale here to day, both fresh up and loft over from Mondoy, was very moderate. All good-conditioned parcels moved off steadily at full prices ; otherwise, the trade ruled heavy, at about previous rates. There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on the stands. Dantsic qualities were mostly held at full quota tions; but other de , criptions met a very inactive market, at previous currencies. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, on former terms. Barley—the foreign supply of which was large—sold heavily, at fully the late decline. The malt trade was dull, and prices had a downward endency. Fine oats fairly supported previous rates; but medium, and especially low foreign qualities, were difficult of sale. Beans and peas being in small supply, were firm as to value, and good qualities wet e inquired for. The flour trade was very inactive, buyers having con fined their purchases to actual wants.

(From our own Correspondent.) EPSOM, FRIDAY, 12 O'CLOCK. The " Ladies day," as far as comfort is concerned, is much to be preferred to the wild saturnalia of the Derby, and although the attendance of company on the Do wns is never to be compared with that of the great attraction, yet to-day it was more nu merous than was generally expected, and far ex ceeded the average of Oaks days in general. The rain which had fallen yesterday gave a de lightful freshness to the scene, and in place of clouds of dust you had a pleasant refreshing breeze, which added materially to the enjoyment. At the Spread Eagle the scene was altogether of a much more subdued tone, although the assemblage of vehicles was by no means small, and the hill, which afforded such labour to her Majesty's lieges on Wednesday to surmount, was to-day breasted with extraordinary alacrity, the walk being ren dered pleasant by the improved state of the ground. The course looked as fresh and green as the most ardent admirer of nature could desire, and the Grand Stand was exceedingly well attended, but of course the numbers bore no comparison to Wednesday. The various itinerant vendors of jewellery, all " warranted gold under a forfeiture of 20 sove reigns," mustered again in full force, but the charge for the celebrated brooches, of which 2,000 had to be sold in half an hour to decide a wager, had fallen from only one shilling each to the in significant small sum of sixpence; but even at this alarming reduction the articles were a drug in the market. The betting in the ring this morning was chiefly confined to Hurricane, Sappho, and Bonny Breast knot, the first named having the greatest number of supporters. A number of persons, however, were of opinion that the course was not in the most favourable condition. ONE O'CLOCK. Heavy clouds are gathering, threatening rain. CRICKET MATCH AT SHEFFIELD. YORKSHIRE V. KENT. A grand match between the respective elevens of the counties of York and Kent, was commenced on the fine ground at Brammall-lane, Sheffield, on Monday, and was continued on Tuesday and yesterday, when it was brought ro a conclusion. The Kent eleven went in first, but the bowling of Slinn and Hodgson, and the generally good fielding of Yorkshire, wei o too formidable for them, and they were got out for a total of 130. Yorkshire then went to the wickets, against the bowling of Willsher and Ben nett, a very dangerous pair, the " slows" of the latter being very troublesome to the batsmen. George Anderson, by some of those heavy hits for which ho is famous, and Halton by some good steady play, ran up good scores ; and the innings closed for the total of 82. In their second in nings, Kent made a much better stand than at first, and Bennett seemed especially to have mastered the bowling. He and Willsher were at the wickets for a time which severely tried the patience of the spectators, who, of course, sympathised with the York men, but after a brilliant innings, Bennett succumbed to a fine ball from Hodgson, and Willsher followed suit almost imme diately. The other wickets fell rapidly, and the innings closed for 133, of which 72 had been put on by Will sher and Pennett. Yorkshire then followed for second innings, and had scored 14, with two wickets down, when play ceased on Tuesday. Yesterday the gams was resumed, Joe Rowbothem, of Sheffield, and John Perry being in. The innings of the former was one of the finest displays of cricket ever witnessed. The bowling of Will sher and Bennett, though really superb,was of no avail, and in the most magnificent manner he kept his wicket until the game was won, retiring with the great score of 59. His score included three fives, one four, five threes, and nine twos, the rest being made up in singles. A liberal sub scription was made on the ground for him. As will be seen by the subjoined score, Yorkshire won with two wickets to go down. KENT. First innings. Second Innings. Elcorne b Slinn ...

Yesterday Mr. Humphrey, coroner for Middlesex, held an inquest at the Elephant and Castle, Camden Town, on the body of Gaetano do Lauretes, aged 40, an Italian, who committed suicide by swallowing a quantity of sulphate of ether, under most extraor dinary circumstances. Ellen Butler said she resided with deceased at 5, Charlotte -street, Fitzroy-square. He was a professor of music. On Tuesday morning he went out in company with a person who called upon him, and returned about twelve o'clock, when he was accompanied by the man he went away with and two others, and who followed him up to his apartment. Deceased appeared much agi tated, and after getting some papers witness sud denly saw him put a bottle to his mouth. She rushed towards him, and screamed, as she be lieved, for a doctor. Deceased replied to her in Italian, "It is too late," and died almost imme diately. Deceased was very excited and depressed, being in a state of fear and in great pecuniary diffi culty. She believed what he had taken to be sul phate of ether, which be used in photography. Mr. John Shaen, solicitor, of Bedford-row, said he had been instructed to institute criminal proceed ing against the deceased and another man, on ac count of being charged with forging the signatures of some of the ministers of the King of Italy, with a view to obtain money. He alleged that the Italian Government owed him large sums of money, and that these forged documents were authority for re ceiving it. lie was traced to his lodgings in Char lotte-street, and was on the morning of his death brought to his (Mr, Shaeu's) office. lie said if he would allow him to return to his lodgings he would produce some important papers which would prove that he was not so bad - as had been made out. Witness accompanied him, with the other parties, to Charlotte-street, and went up with him to his room. He went to a cupboard and took out some papers, which he sealed up, and then went back apparently for more. Having handed the papers to witness he turned round, and wit ness's attention was attracted by the scream of the previous witness, and on looking, as she rushed up and clasped him round the neck, witness observed him take a bottle from his mouth. She called for a doctor, and he said in Italian, "Too late, too late !" He staggered back to the bed, she still clinging to him. He gave one or two gasps and fell back ap parently lifeless. Witness sent for a doctor in stantly. There was a strong smell of ether. Mr. G. H. Wildbore, surgeon, of 2, Charlotte street, Fitzroy-square, said when he arrived he found deceased dead. The phial produced had con tained sulphate of ether. He had made a post mortem examination, and found the lungs congested, and had no doubt that the sulphate of ether was the cause of death. There was no case on record of a death having resulted from sulphate of ether, and therefore it was impossible to state with accuracy what quantity would produce it. The first witness was recalled, and said the bottle when she saw it was about a qua rter full, and Mr. Wildbore gave it as his opinion that that was quite enough. The jury ultimately returned a verdict " That the deceased destroyed himself in a moment of aberration of intellect , arising from apprehensions of arrest on a charge of a criminal nature." SUSPECTED MURDER NEAR DUDLEY.—Late On Monday night the inhabitants of Lower Gornal, near Dud ley, w‘re disturbed by the intelligence that a young woman had been found murdered near the bottom of -a pit, in the colliery field at Red Hall. The news was well founded, for a woman, about 20 years of age, was extricated about half past eleven in a most pitiable and fearful condition, being almost dashed to pieces.

EASTERN UNION. A Wharncliffe meeting of this company was held yesterday at Radley's Hotel, Blackfrairs, to consider two bills now before Parliament, Mr. S. C. Cobbold, M.P., in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said that the first bill he had to submit was a bill to amalgamate the Eastern Counties, the East Anglian, the Newmarket, the Eastern Union, and the Norfolk railway companies. He explained that the committee of the House of Commons had settled the terms of amalgamation between the Eastern Counties, Norfolk, and Eastern Union Companies. The terms were not so good as the directors of the Eastern Union Company thought they were entitled to; but after a very long con test, and with a view to a peaceable settlement, the Norfolk Company had offered them about £34,197 of the ordinary stock to which the Norfolk were entitled, which would have the effect of making the Eastern Union B shares of equal value with the Great Eastern ordinary stock, and each £lOO of the Eastern Union A stock worth £l5O of the Great Eastern ordinary stock, on condition that the Eastern Union should withdraw their opposition to the Amalgamation Bill. _ _ A very long discussion ensued, in the course of which Mr: BRA SSEY and other proprietors expressed an opinion that the terms now offered should be accepted. Mr. CAYLEY, on the other hand, contended that they would get more by not accepting those terms. On the motion for the approval of the Bill being put, it was announced to be carried, after which Mr. CAYLEY demanded a poll. A Bill to confer powers upon the Eastern Counties Railway Company with respect to the Epping Railway was also approved, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks. EXTRAORDINARY DOINGS IN A CEMETERY AT SHEFFIELD. Some consternation has been caused by certain strange discoveries that have been made at the Wardsend cemetery. A few days ago a man who is occasionally employed at the cemetery perceived a disagreeable smell issuing from a sort of coach-house there is on the ground, and took some trouble to ascertain the cause. From what he saw he made a further investigation, and, we aro informed, made a discovery which it will be incumbent on the authorities fully to inquire into. We are told that a hole about four feet deep, and of considerable width and breadth, was found covered with planks, on which a quantity of earth had been loosely thrown, and that there were a number of coffins in the hole. The plates had been removed from the coffins, and in some cases the bodies, which the coffins had previously contained, were gone also. The police have been informed of the circumstance, and we understand are investigating it. _ In the afternoon of Tuesday a great crowd collected at the cemetery, and the excitement became intense. A funeral was fixed to take place in the ground, and a number of people expressed their determination to be avenged on the sexton as soon as he arrived. When he made his appearance the crowd flocked round him and rather roughly assaulted him, and, but for the opportune arrival of the police, the feeling was so strong that there is no doubt ho wculd have been severely injured. BetNeeen seven and eight o'clock in the evening the windows of the house which stands in the centre of the ground, and also the windows of the place in which the burial service is read, were smashed; and the premises were otherwise considerably damaged. About twenty men were seen to commit this mischief, and then walk away, During the afternoon and even ing a large number of persons assembled near to the house cccupied by the sexton on the land alletuaent near the liellebro' toll-bar, The house was of stone, and had been bleat by Howai d. It was two storeys high, contained five or six neatly furnished rooms, and was, in every sense of the word, a comfortable working man's residence. The crowd appeared to get more and more excited as their:nurn bars increased, and threats of violence were loudly made. At night stones were thrown at the windows, and when se veral of them had been broken, a cry was raised to set fire to the house. Extreme and ruffianly as this step is, it was actually taken. A number of persons rushed into the house, ernashed the furniture, and piled it in heaps on the floors, and then set fire to it. "At that time there was only Mrs. Howard in the place, and she begged of the persons who had gone into the house to spare the property. They disregarded her entreaties, and the place was soon enve loped in flames. Mrs. Howard evinced great reluctance to leave her house, and we are told had actually to be forcibly ejected from it when it was on fire. Information was despatched with all spsed to the Sheffield fire-offices for assistance, and engines from the Sheffield and the Liver pool end London offices were promptly sent, with a strong body of firemen, to the scene of the fire. Before the arrival of the engines the flames had taken so firm a hold on the premises that it was at once perceived to be impossible to save any portion of the contents. The house, fortunately, was detached, and the fire was, there fore, confined to it. So rapidly did the fire consume the information ng ftWosh ation of a very grave nature house that at midnight nothing but the bare walls were left standing, every combustible having been com pletely destroyed. During the progress of the fire strong expressions were made use of by several to Howard. people in the crowd in reference ld v. st efftdajthhi ac q u ai n ta n ce LP a lertoceabenecelhh° us°, a mutilated human body ; andwou havewas broadlybeen thrown stated i n t thato the fl ie r ehe in church o r had otherwiseb ee n there severelyh e handled.

I saw two of the country police in the cemetery After the funeral, seeing a policeman still lin geringl requested to know his business, grounds. he, when had teen laid against the sexton, viz., that he had there, that the legs had been seen dangling out of a box by the informant that morning ; and that the sexton, when re- I quested, bad declined to.produce the key of the coachhouse. 1 at once waieed the objection that the county police had no jurisdiction within the borough, and no legal authority for such an investigation, and ordered the coachhouse to be Opened, There indeed was a box containing a shapeless mass of decomposing matter, black and fcetid, not having the remotest resemblance to the human frame, but a mourn ful illustration of the universal doom, ' Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.' The sexton accounted for the possession of the box by stating that it had been sent from the Medical Hall; that it had been securely nailed up, and had been opened by some one who had picked the lock, or otherwise obtained surreptitious entrance to the coach house ; that he had placed the box there for a short time previous to conveying it to a covered excavation, which was ' originally constructed for a catacomb, but the shale not having sufficient coherence, the arch fell in, and the exca • vation has since been used as a receptacle for the remains sent by the Medical Hall, and for stillborn children, relics of humanity over which the Burial Service cannot legal_ly a T be read. I have made searching inquiries respecting small empty coffins, greatly decayed, found there. ofheot sma __ planation is that they, as well as a few coffins and coffin-plates found and removed eurrep table had been (no doubt by the same individual) from the s buried, as the thrown out of the shallow graves of ohildr ceen, a nd therefore plates prove, from four or five yearos ~„T be remarked, are long since decomposed. These, unappropriated all infants' graves five feet deep, i n the deeply for family graves ; nk section, and have all been au nt of the sexton's offending. here is the front and substaropriate d he was justified when As these graves were un tu e r P n P _ e d to dust, to sink them deeper, the first tenants had returned remove even a decayed particle of a but he had no right , t In having done so he has grossly coffin from the grav es' and by this no one has - been more offended against decency, d ee ply pa in ed than myself, The public, however, may res t assurv d that this has occur r e d o n l y in 24 cases (for I have obtaine d an ex act list), and the wild and exaggera t e d ru - urs now afloat may be utterly disregarded. The truth i m s : t he act 3 and 4 Win, IV., C. 75, has amply supplied the requirements of the medical profession, as well as imposed a severe penalty on dis interring the dead. The crime now would be as unwise as it would be wicked, and every intel ligent person is well aware that it has long ceased to be perpetrated." The rev. gentleman then proceeds to say that the charge against the sexton had been got up by a person who had been dismissed from the gr ounds, and adds—" There is no doubt th e sexton has acted in this instance in a manner which is highly improper and blameworthy; but it is the first offence which has come to my knowledge in 25 years and he has faithfully promised not to repeat it." stock * Fl made Share stk zoi 111 20 3 / 4 io 100 100 100 stocil Divid 4i Pi 101 l ti 1051 151 201 t 1001 171 1
