MONEY Tff,A.TIK7.IT () V U. 1.11. CITY, Two O'CLOCK, The foreign and colonial produce markets, during the last few days, have not exhibited much activity. The transactions in tea have been limited, owing to the expected arrival of the overland mail, the edifices by which have been received, and li-tile variation can be quoted in values. Sugar has been at steady quotations ; coffee firm, particularly good qualities of plantation Ceylon. In rum a moderate business has been reported at about previous rates. Rice has been inactive, and only a few sorts of the lower kinds for exportation have been reported. For sltpetre there has bean a very limited inquiry, and rather lower rates are current ; the public Salim have been postponed. For indigo there is an absence of demand of any importance. Tallow has been dull, and P.Y. C. has declined to 545. 6d. spot ; 545. 3d., April to June ; and 535. 9d. last three months. Accounts from Liverpool state that the Cotton Market yesterday clesd heavily, and prices of all descriptions continued to decline. The sales amounted to 7,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken by the exporters, and 1,000 by the specu lators. The Railway Share Market manifested a very quiet appearance and quotations were lower. Further accounts have arrived from the United States, which report a continued accumulation of bullion in the city banks of New York. The sup plies from California were exceedingly large, while the exports of specie, on the other band, were cir cumscribed. The total amount held by the estab lishments approached 8,500,0001. Money was exceedingly easy and trade was improving, but by slow gradations. In the various stocks and shares, there was a good deal of activity, and being in de mand for investment, they were generally at enhanced rates. About 9,0001. in gold was added yesterday to the stock of bullion in the Bank of England. The following dividends have baen declared during the present month : Mines. Per share.

The report has already been pub lished, and states that the net profits of the half year were 6,1351. 4s. 2d., which, however, the Directors recommended to be added to the former balance, forming a sum cf 21,165/. 10s. 83, so as to establish a reserve fund rather than pay a dividend on this occasion, more especially as it was necessary to provide against the consequences of the late crisis, and the fluctuating and unfavourable state of the oxchanges at Constantinople. Some aciverse dis cussion took place in respect to the proposition, but the report of the directors was adopted, the dividend .being thus postponed, but it was expected that a distribution would take place in October next. The dividend proposed at the Londonderry and ihiniskillen Railway Company to-day was 4s. 6d. per 121. 103. shares for the half-year after providing for the 6 per cent. preference shares. The avail able suns from the half-year's traffic was 5,6091. The report was adopted. The market for English Securities is very dull, and little or no alteration can be reported in value. The transactions aro too limited to produce much variation. Until the present account is arranged there is not likely to be much revival of specula tion. Consols are marked 97 to 97f for money, and 97i for account. They are now 97 to 97i for money, and 971 for account. The May price is 97± India Bonds are 20s. to 255. premium, and the June Exchequer Bills, 383. premium. In the Foreign Stock Market business is in active, and prices remain without any material alteration. Turkish 6 per Cents, are 1011 102 ; French 3 per Cents. 69f. 50g. ; and Peruvian 4i per Cents. 84 In the Railway Share Market this morning prices have receded to the extent of about to per cent. A very moderate busine , s has been re ported. Great Western, Lancashire and York shire, and North British declined ss. ; Great Northern, North Western, South Western, Midland, North Eastern (Berwick), and North- Nastern (York), 10s. ; and Brighton, 1/. Ca ledonian improved 11. Tire Foreign and Colo nial lines have also been at sightly reduced quotations. Paris and Lyons, hn.i Northern of Franca have receded about ss. ; Kist Indian 10s.; Grand Trunk of Canada, 11. ; and Great Western of Canada, 108. In Mining Shares there is no change of any im portance to report. Joint-Stock Bank Shires are dull, but at steady rates. London Joint-Stock have declined ss. ; 'Ottoman Bank advanced ss. ; and Union of Aus tralia, 53. Milicollaneous Shares have exhibited no change requiring a special report.

Subscribers were too busily employed with the Pealing to bestow much attention upon speculation. The Handi caps and the Derby were scarcely touched upon, and the movements relative to the Two 'Thousand were limited and unimportant. Clydesdale and The 1 3 .-er were again head and bead in the betting-400 to 100 was taken once about the former, but those odds were currently of6tred during the afternoon ; 5 to 1 would have been ho oked, freely about el, her ; 200 even was betted between tb e two.

THE LATE DISASTROUS FIRE AND LOSS OF LIPS IN BLOOMSBURY. This morning at 11 o'clock Mr. Wakley, coroner for the Western Division of Middlesex, opened an inquiry at the Fox Tavern, Doke-street, Bloomsbury, into the cause of death of the unfortunate individuals who lost their lives at the late calamitous fire in Gilbert-street, Museum-street, on Sunday morning. Previous to swearing the jury, The Coroner addressed the gentlemen summoned, saying be intended sitting to-day until 3 o'clock, and if they did not conclude the enquiry by that time he should adjourn it till Thursday morning and sit till 3 o'clock. If not then concluded, he should adjourn the enquiry over for a week or ten days. It may be a very brief enquiry, or it may be a very protracted one, and he men tioned it that no gentleman might be sworn on the jury and bound over to appear day after day to whom it might be inconvenient to attend. If any gentleman was likely to be out of town, or wished, or was likely to be called away by business engagements on Thursday, or the early part of next week, he would advise him at once to name it, in order that he might be excused from further attend ance, because it would be awkward for gentlemen to be bound over to appear and incur heavy penalties for not attending. • Mr. Cooper askt:d if the enquiry extended over a month or mix weeks the jury would be bound over to attend ? The Coroner said'.—Yes. His knowledge of the cir cumstances was at present limited, and he could form no opinion until after he had heard the evidence on oath. It was an awful calamity, and it was one of the most horrid sights he ba.d ever r een. Ne time would be mis spent to endeavour to discover the cauqe, and to pre vent, if possible, the recurrence of a similar calamity. Mr. Cooper said he believed the whole of the proposed jurymen were tradesmen, and it would be ex , .reali ngly inconvenient for thrrm to attend for three months. lie instanced the protracted irquiry in Tottenham-court road. The Coroner said. oven in that case the jury would be bound to attend. He took it there were no gentlemen summoned on tha jury connected in any way with the proprietor of the for emises. The jury were tilt en sworn, Mr. Alanal, churchwarden of St. Gles's, being selected as forenaln.. The Rev. llorai3e Roberts, and several of the pa rishioners were proe eut during the enquiry. Mr. Sampson Lc,w and Mr. Inspector Badderley at tended to watch th.e• proceedings on behalf of the It lye! Society for the Protection of Life from Fire. The jury then pr)ceeied to inspect the premises, and also to view the. bodies of the unfortunw.e sufferers, fourteen in nurnbe r, which were lying in the dead house of St. Gi:es's .Wor ithouse. Their appearance has already been mieutely des er,bed. The young man Smith, who jumped out of the window, is lying at University College Hospital, The names and aages of the 14 persons on whom the inquiry was held uvere—Richard smith, 40 ; Harriett, his wife, 41 ; Alfre.d, 16 ; H arr i e tt, 13 ; Harvey, 11 ; Walter, 9 ; Tbornaii, 7 ; Maria, 5 ; and Jesse, 2 years of age, children of fat) first two name' ; Jas. H'dger, 53 ; W Eliza, his wife ; illiam, 20 ; and John, 13 years of age, children of Hedg sr and his wife. On the return ( vf the jury, the Foreman and others re marked they had n ever witnpssel such a horrible siglit, and raid to the Co tuner, " Did you ever in your expe- rience witness such a horrible sight 1" The Coroner—l certainly never did. A Juryman—Oo vent-garden Theatre was burnt down without a single life being lost, and here a miserable hovel takes fire ant 1 all these lives are lost. The Coroner—l really cannot understand it. The first w:tneris called was Alfred Chilmrbn , N o , a , Graham-street, Walworth road, porter, who dep ose d h e w as brother to the de ceased Mrs. &nigh. H e id en tified her body and that of her husband and children, now lying at St. Giles' Work. house. His brot h!3r.in.law was a porter. He was a poor labouring man, rand he and his family were in great distress.. He mrver kne w him or his sister attempt or threaten to com mit suicide. At times, he regretted to say, he was griven to drink. He was not aware if any of the, children were in burial clubs, The last time be saw his sister alive was at his house at Walworth ; ohs then complained that the house was eirtlit for them to live in, and that as soon as she could get a partinents she should leave; she was then looking out for apartments in Pied Ball-yard ; be knew nothing of the fire except from general report. He had been to the house where they occupied two rooms, a front room and a back room on the second floor. The rooms adjoined and opened into one another. There was no back wind ow to the house, and the family had to come from the , back -room to the front-room before they could get to the landing. There was a skylight ; but he did not kno w if there was a means of egress from it. There were fc iur rooms on each floor. He did not know who else lived in the house. There was no venti lation or light f °Jr the back-rooms but that borrowed from the staircase.. By a Juryman— -His sister's reason for wishing to leave was the dilapidatf ,d state of the house, the rain came in from the skylight and made the room so damp that it wai unfit for the e:b ildren to sleep in. His brother-in-law had not been in oanstant work for some time. His sister had compli&ined of a carpenter's shop under the dwelling which sti,e considered dangerous and that she would leave. Hecr reason for not leaving was that she could get no one to take her hi. The shop was opened about Christmas last. There was an outlet from the back-ground floor befoie it was turned into a carpenter's shop. The deceas ed Smith and his family had resided in the house about six years. _ a l E a b l i o z u a r S er a , rs d o e n p , o l B o o,l L — R ifla a a m rd t s h e daug Itaggerstone, wife of Eliza Hedger and :sister to the chiloran. I identify three lottr of William and of the bodies. M y brother John is so much disfigure... that I cannot identify him. My father was a journey man biscuit baker and confecttoner ; he lodged on the second floor and occupied two rooms. I ant not aware if my father and 'mother had attempted suicide ; they were not in distress. - I last saw them in the house last Sunday week :; they had lived in the house nearly three years. The Coroner—Do you know wh ere t h e fi re b roke out ! The ila C er--A in( o t r h o e n beaak td where Yes Sir, in the carp en t er ' s s h o p. then 2 Hain—l have a witness who knows all about it. Witness continued—They had a front and back room. By the jury--.f don't know anything that compelled them to live there; they only owed a fortnight's rent. She never heard them make any complaint about the house • but my fa ther frequently said th at if a -fi re t oo k place :hey would all be burnt to death. They had never experienced any fears as to the stability of the house. James George Fleming, No. 11 Fire Brigade, deposed —I belong to the Chandos-street Fire Eugine Station ; I was at the fire:, and got there fourth, arriviug at about half-past 3 o'clock. After the fire was over I assisted in getting; out the whole of the bodies. The young man was found near the front wall, and near the window at tne east of the building on the second floor. The floor had faller), and the front wall before the bodies were found. Front the position of the body I cannot say where it must have been. When I arrived there I saw the front would fall, and I gave an alarm. It then immediately fell, roof and all, and we had a narrow escape. The walls, floor, roof, and all fell in a second. After cooling the ruins, and whilst the ruins were still burning, I went by direction of my foreman into the ruins, where I found a young man near the front wall of the east end; his father was underneat h him. We then cleared away the ruins farther, when we found eigl4 children, males and females. Then we found Mr. and Mrs. Smith—they were all one on top of each other, as it were. By a Juryman—The Smiths were in the back part. Some of the children had falle n T., ith their heads down wards, and I had to pull them up by the legs. I took out 14. The first we found about 10 minutes past 4 . They were all dead. The pressure was enough to kill any one. They had only their night clothes on, which were much burnt. One body had his trousers partly or, and he must have been in the act of pulling them on when the house fell. He was least burnt of all. I heard no cries nor saw any person at the windows when I came up with my engine. By a Juryman—The house was in flames from the bottom to the top when I arrived. The alarm of fire was given at the station by a stranger. I saw the bressemer giving way in the eentre, i whicl2'drew the ends from the wall. I saw it bend and the wall gave way. I gave an alarm. By the Coroner—We are supposed to be called by the police, who we give a trifle for doing so. Mr. Goff, of the brigade, said he was called by a policeman on Blackfriars-bridge before the last witness was called ; the policeman on the bridge was attracted by the light. By a juryman—l have seen hundreds of houses on fire and seen them fall. I ne►er saw a house fall so quickly as this. Since the fire I find the timber had not much hold. If the front bressemer had not given way I think the front wall would not have given. Police-constable $4 E, Daniel Brown Sullivan, I gave the first alarm of fire by springing my rattle at a quarter past or 20 minutes past 2 o'clock on Sunday morning the 28th. The Coroner—Are you sure of that ! Because the Chandos•street men did not get there with the engine till half-past it o'clock. A juryman—l saw it at half-past 2 o-clack. The Coroner—Yes, but the Chandos-street man was in the immediate neighbourhood. A Juryman—Yes, and thus were there before him. The Coroner—lt seems there is no organised system for calling the engines. Witness—When at the oorner of Montague and Rus sell-streets, I heard a cry and ran towards the house ; just as I turned the corner I saw the fire rushing out of the window on the basement. The door, I believe, was fastened, but the fire was so strong I could not approach the door. I looked up to the front of the house, where I saw a man at the second floor font window on the west side over the shop, above where the Tittles were gushing out. He cried out and I told him to hold hard where he was. At this moment flames rini,ed out, and there was great cracking of glass. I stooped down to avoid the broken glass when a young man jumped out and knocked me down. The young man was not killed at the time, but he was seriously injured. The ma❑ Eastwood, his wife, and three children got out of the window by means of a ladder which the police put up to the window. A stranger went up the ladder and brought down one of the children ; at that time a fire-escape had not arrived. Five persons were got out safely. No engine had arrived at that time. I can't recollect when the first engino arrived. Policeman 56 E first ,:ame to my assistance. We sprang our rattles almost together and I sent him for the fire-escapa, but not to the engine station. The Coroner—Are the fire escape and the engine etation connected. Mr. Goff (fire brigade)—No, they are not. Witness continued—a-The only persons we saw were those we took out and the young man who jumped out, he came from the second floor window. I did not see the other window touched. I saw no other living person but those I have named at any of the windows. When the last person was taken from the window, the flames and smoke was so great from the basement that I could not see the second window. It was about five minutes after the last person was saved that the fire escape came. It was there before either of the engines I cannot say which fire.engine arrived first. The front door was burning at the time. By a Juryman—The fire when I first saw it was burning the Musetfm-street end of the building. I knocked at the door and sprung my rat tle. One part of the door was burning at the time. The whole of the lower part of the premises was on fire when I saw it, but more towards Museum-street than the other. lam sure the door was burning when I first saw the fire. I can't say if the shutters were up in front of the shop. 'no flamed were rushing out in a body at the time. By the Coroner.—l was at the fire about two minutes before the young man jumped out. During that time I sprang my rattle, sent for the escape, and went back to the young man to desire him not to jump out, the glass and flames rushed out against me, and at the same moment the young man jumped out, fell on me, keocketi me down, and stunned tne. My instructions with reference to giving information to the fire engine sta tions and escapes are to go to all the nearest stations and give au alarm. When the e-caps arrived it could not be used. It was higher than the windows, and the flames from below prevented its use. It was put against the adjoining house, and the fire-escape man went to the roof. -By the Foreman—lt was about ten or twelve minutes after I discovered the fire that the fire-escape came. By a juryman--I know nothing of a boy giving in formation to the station near the church. By the Coroner—l think most of the de'ay in the arrival of the escipe arose from the beams of timber across the street, to support the building, impeding its progress. By a Juryman—l think the cries proceeded from the men who jumped out of the window. Ido not know if the occupants of the adjoking house; were i.creatning. .Tohn Curie, 8. Bury-street, Bloomsbury, painter and glazier—l was at the fire on Sunday morning shout 20 minutes, ur half:past two o'clock. I was fiat alarmed by the ery of murder and the sound of a policeman's rattle, which occurred simultaneously. I had just returned home, and bed passed the end of Gil bert-street about five in.nutes pas 2. I iinrnediately went to the fire, where I fund two po icemen, one of whom was springing his rattle, and the other was close against the door. I don% think the door was o❑ fire, but the flames were coming through the shop window. It was not great at first, though it wa rather a large flame that came out of so small a shop ; the door and window ap peared to join. I can't say if the door was broken open, but I think not. I heard several calls or screeches. Tnere can be no doubt they came from the sEcond floor window. I saw an arm put out of the window, ani pulled back again. It was not the man who jumpe I Out. The hand and arm were put out of the window nearest Bury-street ; the party appeared to be in their shirt or night dress. Rev. R. Long, curate of Bloomsbury, said he had often visited the house, and could state it was impossible for any one to get out of the window, because boards were placed across them. Witness continued—Mr. Eastwood was at the window when I put the ladder up, about three or four minutes after I got there. I saw the t and and arm before I saw Mr. Eastwood at the window. I did not see it afterwards. I went up the ladder and brought down a little girl about nine or ten years of ago. Mr. Eastwood then went baok into the room. After that I brought down Mrs. Eastwood and an infant in her arms. Mr. East wood went back a second time, and got a little boy out, and then came down the ladder himself. Mr. Eastwood went in and brought them as calm and as cool as if he was following his ordinary employ ; but when he came down he was evercome—he fell into my arms and said, " Oh, my dear boy, I have not a rag left." Neither fire escape nor engine had then arrived. It was a quarter of an hour or so after Mr. Eastwood was got out that the fire-escape or engine came. Had the ladder been long enough I could and should have gone to the second floor window ; but when the fire-escape arrived, it was impossible for them to render the inmates any aid — all chance was gone. The fire-escapeman was willing to go up, but I put my hand upon his shoulder, and said, "Yon can't live up there," and he then put the escape against the adjoining house and went on the roof. When the escape arrived, the flames were rushing out of the sky light. The poor man who jumped out was first laid on the opp Rite side of the street. By a Juryman—When I took out the child the flames were issuing from the shop window, but not from the door. I did not see the door opened. When the police came we were all driven back for the firemen to work, and I can't say what was done then. No flame at first issued from the first or second floor window. When I mounted the ladder and looked in at the window there was no fire in the first soar. Mr. Eastwood was burnt coming down the ladder. After the policemen drove me back I stood on the buildings opposite, and saw the walls at first fall course by course. If the fire-escape had arrived earlier, or I had had a longer ladder, more lives could have been saved. The ladder was so hot that I could not hold the sides in my hand as I went up and down. A policeman knocked at the door violently, and pulled the bell. John Eastwood, one of the occupiers of the house, whose life was providentially saved by the last witness, deposed—l am now living at 42, Museum street. lam a carpenter by trade. I occupied a front and back room on the first floor, under those occupied by the Hedgers. I was first awoke by my wife. She said, "John, there's a row; what is that crackling noise?" I got up and said, "Dear me, the pace is full of smoke." I slept in the back room with my wife and one child, and the other two children in the front room. I jumped out of bed, opened the door between the two rooms, and saw the reflection of a fire in Gilbert-street. I then went to the front window and looked through it, and saw the flames curling up over the front of the adjoining window, which was immediately over the carpenter's shop. There was flame at the landing,and rushing up the stafrcase. I shut the front room door and locked it, to prevent my wife in a moment of excitement attempting to escape that way. It was impossible to escape by the stairs at that time. I then rushed to the front window, opened it, got out side on to the shallow balcony, and called for assistance. ' I heard the policeman's rattle immediately after my wife awoke me. I called for assistance, and pointed to a ladder at the new buildings opposite. I kept my wife back from the window till the ladder was brought there. I then handed my eldest daughter to the last witness. We all fortunately got out without injury. At the time of my escape the room was nearly full of smoke, and was accumulating. When I got my last child out I could scarcely see, but by stooping down I was able to look as it were under it. The flames l i t tle boy coming through I lived at the front window as I got my little h b s oy 20, Gilbert-street about th ree mont • Nnto. The rooms one slept on the ground floor. There was no basement. adjoining mine on the first floor were uno ccupied. I can't say when a perso n with a candle was last in the carpenter's shop. I saw no light there on Saturday n i g ht when I went to bed about elece o'clock. By the Coroner—Kave you formed any opinion as to the cause of the fire I Witness-1 can't imagine. 1 The Coroner—You cannot conjecture Wi tne,s —I have not the slightest idea. I saw nothing to excite my suspicion. By the jury—l Emelt nothing burning on SatiltdaY evening. No one was at work thereewhen I went home on Saturday. I have known the occupier of the shop to be at work there so late as 7 o'clock, but I never knew him to be there with any one smoking. I don't know what time the shop closed on Saturday night. The carpenter's shcp was kept locked in the absence of the occupier. If any one had been there to work on Saturday night after I returned home I might have heard it. I had no means of communicating with the persons above. My thoughts were directed to saving my own family. We had made our escape by the ladder before the fire-escape had arrived. The Coroner—Yon have formed an opinion whence the fire began ? Witness—l am certain it was in the carpenter's shop, but when I can't say. The flanges were rushing up the stairs and out of the shop windows at the same time. By a juryman—l don't think the fire could have originated in the dust bin ; there was too much water used there. I firmly believe it was in the carpenter's shop. If it had originated in the dust bin it would have been under my bedroom. By the Coroner—l heard no movement or screaming overhead. The Coroner proposed to examine Mrs. Eastwood, but the witness said she was in such an excited state that he thought it would be dangerous for her to be called. Thomas Stubbs, occepier of the carpenter's shop, was next called. He said, I reside at 3 Little Russell street, and am a carpent er b y trade. frented the house 20, Gilbert-street, and underlet it in tenements. Three portions of it were occupied when the fire occurred. No one was at work on Saturday, and the last time I was there was between half-past 9or 10 o'clock en Saturday morning ;no light was used then. I began work about half-past 8 o'clock and left about half-pact 9 o'clock, I was called away by Mr. Taylor to the Caledonian road, and did not return again for the day. I have kept no combustibles there. There was an accu mulation of shavings there at the time of the fire, The shutters were down except one. Some glass without a shatter behind it was broken near some shavings. Any one might have thrown a light amongst them. He had many times omitted to shut up the shop. He was not insured, and he knew of no one who had threatened to do him an injury. There was an opening in the staircase through which a light might be thrown on the shavings. He could only account fur the fire from an accident arising from the inmates going up and down the staircase with a lighted candle. Mrs. Hedger is not a sober woman, and there were rumours she was out 89 late as one o'clock that morning. I have reason to believe that one of Smit!i's sons was out equally late. Policeman 56 E (William Soar) was at the fire on Sunday morning. I saw Smith the deceased on Satur day night about a quarter or 20 minutes to 12 o'clock go into his house. He had been drinking, but he was not drunk. The Coroner—Not helples9ly drunk ? Witness—No. By a Juryman—Ho could walk up stairs. Witnesi—Yes. The Coroner—•Do you recollect if he was smoking ! Witness—l did not see Linn smoking. By a Juryman—Do you know if ha was in the habit of smoking ! , Witness—l don't. By a Juryman—Did he tell you what public house he came from ? Witness—No. He went into the house alone, but I can't say if he opened the door himsalf. I did not go for the fire-escape. Mr. S. Low (Secretary of the Fire-escape)---The former policeman said he sent this man for the fire escape. Carle—This man assisted me getting out the inmates. The Coroner.—l intend to go on with that part of the eae at our next meeting. Mr. S. Low—This is a matter of great public im portance. The fire escape might have been brought within 5 minutes. Inspector Pethers, E division, said there were two policemen i❑ the room who fetched the fire engine and the escape. Witness said it was a usual circumstance for the shut ters to be down. At 2 o'clock he passed the house, and there was not the least appearance of the fire. After ward., when he came up, the flames were rushing out. The Coroner said they had now been three hours in examining the cause of the fire, and they were n 3 nearer now in ascertaining that fact than they were when they co.amenced. It was a very extraordinary case, and h appeared to hint to be surrounded by a great deal of mystery of an exceedingly disagreeable character. He wished to state that one of the objects of the adjourn ment was to have one or two of the bodies opened, which be thought absolutely necessary, because it was a remarkable case that eleven persons should have been smothered—if that be the fact—in one room whilst other persons immediately below them escaped. There was something remarkable, he thought, also about the head and arms only being seen for an instant. No noise was heard from that part of the premisos, save from ene individual, who, it was believed, was so injured that he was unable to speak afterwards ; and under those cir cumstances, he thiught it his duty to have two or more f the bodies opened. Stringers were ordered to withdraw, that the coroner might confer privately with the jury and the authorities. The public inquiry was accor.liogly adj )urned till Thursday ❑ext.
