. - . MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. SHARE CITY, Two O'CLOCK. There has been little variation of importance during the last few days in the value of most descriptions of foreign and colonial produce. At the public sale of indigo the rates realised showed a decline of 6d. to ls. per lb. upon those current at the close of the series in February. There has been a fair attendance of buyers at the foreign and colonial wool auctions, and prices have been well maintained. In tea the dealings have been limited, as buyers have deferred their operations until the public sales which take place to-day. Sugars have been inactive, and inferior qualities of foreign have further receded about ls. per cwt. Coffee, cocoa, and spices have been extremely dull, and rice has shown less buoyancy. For saltpetre there has been a diminished inquiry at a reduction of sd. to ls. per cwt., and tallow has declined about 3d. to 6d. per cwt., P.Y.C. on the spot being now quoted 555. 9d., and last 3 months 565. per cwt. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a very moderate business was transacted, and prices were without alteration. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed rather heavily, and quotations continued to tend downwards. There were no bullion operations of public im portance at the Bank of England yesterday. The Maidstone, from Australia, has been an nounced this morning, with £75,056 ; and the Fulton, from America, with £20,111. The general demand for discount accommodation is much quieter, and, as the available supplies are abundant, the terms charged for the negotiation of Commercial paper are, in some respects, easier; at the same time the drain of gold from the Bank has Ceased, owing to the recent importations of specie from Australia and America. The Bank of France return for the past month shows a decrease in the bullion of £1,024,900. The Sydenham has arrived from Melbourne with 15,216 ozs. of gold, or about £60,864. There was a special meeting of the Submarine Telegraph Company to-day, at which Sir James Carmichael, Bart., took the chair. The object was stated by the chairman to be the consideration of the Proposition of the directors to lay down two new submarine cables to France, and to complete.the telegraphic communication with Denmark, and to raise the necessary capital in both instances. In the first instance the limit was £25,000, and in the latter it would be £50,000. He regretted that sonae reports had obtained circulation about the Government being opposed to the landing of the cable ; but he thought nothing of the kind could be entertained, seeing that no opposition had been raised to their lines to Holland and Hanover. A notice had been received from the Woods and Forests in respect to their rights in regard to the coasts of the United Kingdom. A resolution was proposed ou the part of this company acknowledging these, and expressing the willingness of the directors to Confer with the Woods and Forests as to paying any compensation or damage for the privilege they sought, which he hoped would remove any aifficulty. The resolutions were severally passed, and a vote of thanks was passed to the directors. A moderate business has been transacted in the Market for public securities to-day, and the quota tions have exhibited increased firmness. Consols Were at • one time 92k, but they are now 91 1 91 for money, and 91 for the ac count. Numerous purchases are still effected on behalf of the public, and the Government broker continues to make his appearance as a buyer for the Savings Banks Commissioners.

A full average supply of English wheat—many of the samples having been left over from Monday and Wednesday —was on offer in to-day's market, in good condition. On the part of the millers no disposition was shown to get into stock ; however, the trade ruled heavy, at barely Monday's nominal fall in price. Upwards of 20,000 quarters of foreign wheat having come in, the demand for that grain was much depressed, and the quotations were drooping. Floating cargoes were heavy. There was a fair, but by no means active, inquiry for barley, at late rates. The malt trade ruled firm, at previous currencies. Oats, the supply of which was good, moved off slowly on former terms. Beans and peas were dull, and the value of flour h a d a drooping tendency. ARRIVALS THIS WEE= Wheat. Barley Malt. Oats. Flour.

This morning the adjourned inquest upon the body of Isabella Bankes, whose death it was alleged had, been caused by poison, was resumed before Mr. Cartter, at the Court-house, Richmond. The greatest interest was excited by the investigation, the inquest• room being crowded to suffocation. Dr. Smethurst, who is in custody on suspicion of having caused the death of the unfortunate lady, was brought from Horsemonger-lane gaol, by an order from the Secretary of State, in accordance with a request made by the coroner. He arrived at the Mortlake station, and was conveyed thence to Richmond, in a cab, by Inspector M'lntyre of the V division of police. The Coroner having read over to Dr. Smethurst the depositions taken on a former' occasion when he was not present, then called Mrs. Wheatley, the landlady of the house, 10, Alma Villas, who, in addition to her former evidence, said—l re collect receiving medicines for the deceased from a boy who said he brought it from Dr. Julius's. The medicines con sisted of liquids and pills; the bottles were six ounce phials sealed up in paper. The pills were in packets of white paper, sealed up. The food procured by Dr. Smethurst was sometimes sent—sometimes he brought it in himself. I always prepared it. The deceased generally had her meals in her bed room. I have seen her on some occa sions take her tea down stairs. She seemed very ill. I always tried to attend to her domestic com forts. I had been in the room about three times to sweep it, but it was not properly done in consequence of the pre sence of Dr. Smethurst. I have seen vomit in a basin, it was thrown into an utensil outside the bedroom door by Dr. Smethurst, to be taken downstairs and thrown away. I always threw it away. Previous to the Monday I formerly mentioned I frequently saw her vomiting. I did not notice the exact time the vomiting came on. The Monday I men tioned was that preceding the first inquiry. After that day the deceased was attended to by Miss Banks and the nurse. I don't know the name of the nurse, but she was engaged after that day—last Monday week. Dr. Smethurst was not in the house when the nurse came. After that day I did not see any medicines administered to her. The deceased sister was then also attending her. She came to Alma Villa on the Sunday and remained until the lady died. She left on Monday evening after the death of her sister. Dr. Smethurst was there on Monday 'night, he was taken away in custody. I can't recollect the hour. It was after the death. I had asked the deceased whether she felt any bodily pain, she only replied, she felt very unwell. I never saw her take her food. She took tea down stairs on the Sunday following Friday the 15th of April—the day she arrived at my house. I was from home on that occa sion. T always gave the medicines to Dr. Smethurst in the same condition that I received them from Dr. Julius's ,boy. The deceased's sister came on the Sunday but she went out to sleep. I saw her next morning at about half-past nine. She slept on Monday night in my house. She left on Tuesday after death of her sister. The evacutions were all thrown away. By Dr. Smethurst—l am not sure the bottles I received from Dr. Julius were always sealed. Dr. Smethurst—What food do you refer to when you say I brought it in. Witness—Arrowroot and such things. Dr. Smethurst—Was not the bed made every day? Witness—Yes. Dr. Smethurst—And you always emptied the slops and did all was necessary ? Witness—Yes. Dr. Smethurst—You never had any suspicion of any thing wrong ? Witness—No, never. Dr. Smethurst—The landing was used for your own family bed-room ? Witness—Yes. Dr. Smethurst—Did you not know our bedroom door was constantly of en night and day ? Witness—lt was generally open during the night and day except when Dr. Smethurst was there, and then it was shut. He said he had the windows open. Dr. Smethurst—You never law w me to empty the night commode. Witness—No, never. Dr. Smethurst—Anyone going up or down stairs could see the things ? Witness—Yes. Dr. Smethurst—We gave you entire satisfaction ? Witness—Yes; you always acted as a gentleman to me, and, as far as I saw, you were always very kind to the deceased. By a Juror—My daughter is 17 years of age. She might have gone up and down stairs before the night-commode was removed. William Merchant, a lad aged about 17, said—l am in the service of Dr. Julius. I have been in his service about two years. I sleep at home. My duty at Dr. Julius's was to take out the medicine. I recollect taking medicine to No. 10, Alma Villas, Richmond Hill. They were gene rally bottles, a box of pills was with the bottles one morning. The bottles were covered with paper, and directed "Mrs. Smethurst." The bottles were tied not sealed. The pills were sealed. I gave the medicines to Mrs. Wheatley. I never under any circumstance left wrong medicine. I never had to change any I left. I had other medicines to deliver, one was at No. 6, Old Palace-terrace. That medicine was tied like the rest. That was delivered previously to my going to Alma-place. I delivered the medicines at Old Palace-terrace to Miss Robert son. I gave it to her on every occasion. The medicines were always delivered in the condition I received them from my employer. I received the medicines from Mr. Caudle, _the assistant to Dr. Julius. Dr. Smethurst—Do you deliver medicines at night ? Witness—No. Dr. Smethurst—Who does ? Witness—Another boy. Dr. Smethurst —What is his name? Witness—George ickery. Dr. Smethurst—ls Mr. CandU lint! Only assistent to Dr. Julius ? Witness—Yes. • '• • 1°, 14!' Dr. Smethurs he the only pepron iYho raftlfes p isthe medicines ? = ' • - Witness—Yes. ' By Sergeant Ballantine—l go at seven and leave at ton, the other boy comes about six in the evening, and then we do the rounds together until ten at night, and then I leave. Dr. Smethurst—You delivered all the medicines at Alma Vallas yourself ? Witness—Yes. The Coroner said he thought, under the circumstances of the case, as Dr. Taylor was not able to be in attendance that day, he should propose to the jury that the medical testimony should not be given until Dr. Taylor was ready'. Sergeant Ballantine said Dr. Taylor had two circum stances to inquire into the state of the body from a post mor tern examination and certain symptoms exhibited by the deceased during her lifetime. No medical man could give his testimony until the whole of the witnesses had been examined on this point, and he therefore thought it best that the whole of the medical evidence should be postponed until the next inquiry, when it was fully expected Pr Taylor would be ready. ' This course was adopted, and the examination of the witnesses was proceeded with. Ann Robertson, the landlady of the house 10, Old Palace-place, merely repeated the evidence given on a former examination before the magistrate. It was to the effect that the deceased during her residence at that place was taken ill, and was attacked with vomiting and diarrhoea, and that Dr. Smethurst always appeared to treat the deceased with the greatest affection. Two or three witnesses having been examined whose evidence has already been published, the inquiry was ad journed. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT THE WEST MINSTER PALACE HOTEL. Soon after six o'clock this morning the men engaged on the work having scarcely commenced operations, a most lamentable accident took place at the building now in pro gress of erection at the corner of Tothill-street, West minster, called "The Westminster Palace Hotel." At the north-west corner of the structure about 30 men, chiefly labourers, were engaged, when in an inst a nt th e scaffold- ing on which they were standing gave way with an awful crash, and 12 out of the number were precipitated to the ground, a distance of 80 feet. Great quantities of bricks and fragments of broken timber accompanied the poor fellows' descent, and partially covered the bodies. As soon as the workmen around could recover from the shock re ceived they commenced to extricate the bodies of their un fortunate comrades, and we are sorry to say that four were quite dead when drawn out. The remaining eight also appeared lifeless, and thus the rumour soon spread that the whole had ceased to exist. The poor fellows were at once conveyed to the Westminster Hospital, where it was dis covered that life was quite extinct in four cases, and that the remaining eight men had received injuries of a fright ful character. The following are the list of names : DEAD. —Edward Sullivan, John M'Hugh, Cornelius Buckley, John Carroll, and Peter Forbes. FRIGHTFULLY INJURED. Michael Grogan, James Keating, Michael Carey, Denis M'Carty, Ed ward New man, Michael Irvine, and James Mack. Although, from the fact of the immense excitement existing, our reporter had great difficulty in gaining intel ligence, yet this list, at the time we write (12 o'clock), will be found strictly correct. We believe that all the unfor tunate men who have lost their lives are married, and it was truly heartrending to witness the anguish of one young wife with a baby at her breast. Of course, many opinions were expressed amongst large parties of the men who grouped together at the corners of the streets as to the cause of the accident ; but one seemed to be most prevalent, and that was, that the scaffold was overloaded. Fears were also expressed yesterday as to its safety. We cannot con clude without speaking in the waimest terms of the man ner in which Mr. P. K. Adam, the house-surgeon of the hospital, performed his duties, assisted by Mr. Hillman and a competent staff. So great was the rush of the men, to obtain admission to thelosPital that a body of polio tq be La atteaclaam Paid.

(Before Mr. Justice Crowder and Mr. Baron Channel.) THE WAGNER FORGERIES. Andrew Foster, hatter; William Wynn Bramwell, dealer; Robert Humphreys, jeweller; and William Wagner, agent, were charged with fraud. Mr. Bodkin, Mr. Sleigh, and Mr. Giffard conducted the prosecution on behalf of the Bankers' Association for the Prevention of Fraud and Forgery ; Mr. Metcalfe defended Foster ; Mr. Doyle defended Bramwell ; Mr. Tindal Atkin son defended Humphreys ; and Mr. Ribton appeared for Wagner. The principal witness examined this morning was William Whitehead Chandler, who said—l am a prisoner in Newgate. I was convicted at last sessions of several charges of forgery, on my own confession. I know the prisoner Wag ner, and became acquainted with him in about May, 1857—it might have been April. I know a man named Horton Bate man. They occupied a house in York-buildings, Adelphi, for some time, which Wagner rented. " Bateman and Co., Law, Parliamentary, and General Stationers;" was painted on the blinds. I was clerk to them from Septem ber, 1858, till the day I was apprehended, on the Ist of February last. In November I saw the cheque (produced) on Messrs. Drummond for £440, purporting to be signed by George Wilton Chambers. I saw it in York-buildings. I had previously seen a similar cheque for a like amount. This was brought by a man named Kirk, and I knew it to be a forgery. It was given to Wagner. Several copies were made by myself and Bateman in Wagner's pre sence. I made the forged cheque 'now in question. I know a man named Jones, who used to come continually from October last. Bateman and Wagner made an application to Jones to find a man to cash the cheque, and he found one accordingly—a young man named Glendinning, and an arrangement was made in the presence of Wagner that Jones should advertise, and I wrote an answer to meet me at the Sabloniere, Leicester-square, and I met him, walked some 200 yards with him, and gave him a cheque in a pocket-book. Bateman and Wagner were watching my proceedings. I told him to go to Drummond's and present it, and I returned to York-buildings. Jones brought the £440 in bank notes within half an hour. I went out to meet Wagner and Bateman, who had missed Jones, but did not succeed, and returned and found them at the office, and we all went into the City together and the notes were changed; one for £4O, by Bateman, at Vaughan's, bullion dealer, and I took one to Knightsbridge for £lOO, and got Scotch notes for it. When all were changed 'Wagner gave Jones 110 sovereigns to be divided between him and Glen dinning. I had £7O, and Wagner and Bateman the rest. The cheque brought by Kirk was returned, with the mark " No effects" upon it. I had an uncle in Poland-street. Mr. George Whitehead and he banked at the Union Branch, Argyle-place, and the prisoners had from me the informa tion of the balance he had in his pass-book. Glendinning was sent for it, and Wagner received and brought it to York-buildings, and the next day I saw the cheque now produced for £250, dated Ist December, 1858, on the Union Bank. Glendinning was to present the same, and Bateman to be at the bank with a cheque of his own for £5, he keeping an account of his own there. Soon after Bateman came to York-buildings with the news that Glen dinning was in custody, and Wagner came in shortly after wards. Mr. Whitehead's pass-book, which up to then had been in the back office, was thrown behind the fire, and we all entered into a subscription for Glendinning's de fence. A brief was prepared at York-buildings, and a woman was to be employed to convey the money and the brief to the attorney employed, and I afterwards heard that this had been done. I recollect a proposition was made for a loan by a person named Croker, and Dr. Jones was to be security to Bateman and Co. Dr. Jones wrote, and his signature was copied to the cheque produced, but I do not recollect by whom. I think by a Frenchman. I changed the notes obtained for the cheque, which was for £250, in the City, at Massy's, and gave the notes to Wagner, re ceiving £4O for my share. Humphreys was engaged in this transaction, and the rest of the money was divided between them. The cheque for £375, produced, on the City branch of the Union Bank I know to be a for gery. The £3OO note produced is part of the proceeds of that forgery. I know it by my own handwriting on it. I saw Bateman go into the bank for the cash, Wagner and I remaining outside. Bateman, on coming out, gave me some Bank of England notes, which I changed at Spiel man's, Lombard-street, for French money, part paper and part gold ; one of these notes was for 1,000 francs, and Bateman, I believe, changed it for English money at Smart's, who gave the £4O cheque produced, and he gave that cheque to Wagner, Bateman having in our presence made a copy of it. It was made upon tracing paper. Shortly afterwards a blank form . Of cheque for the forgery \was brought to York-buildings by Humphreys. It had no stomp upon it at the time. • A, die was made at York-buildings by us all in plaster of paris and afterwards in metal, and that was used for stamping the cheque in question. It then represented a cheque for £270, purporting to have the signature " Edward Kneller Smart," and an arrangement was then made with Jones, who said he knew a person named Bram well, who was in charge of an empty house, and he would present it, and to protect him, a letter should be written to him from some one in the name of Wilson, about taking the house. The letters produced were those written for the purpose. (Put in and read). The first, dated Jan. 9th, 1859, and the second, Jan. 20th, professing to enclose a cheque for £270, and saying-the writer (Wilson) would call for the balance, over £2O, for the fixtures of the house, which had been asked for. There was, however, no cheque sent. I posted one of these letters, I believe the last, and Jones the following morning met Wagner near the Nelson Column, where Bramwell was to pass, in order that Wagner might see him. I afterwards, returned to York-buildings, and Wagner and Bateman came in about 12 o'clock, and Jones followed, and said an officer had been seen to go to Bramwell's house with him froth the bank, A doubt was raised, and Wagner said Jones and Bramwell were conspir ing to rob him of his regulars, and he would go and see for himself, and Jones agreeing, he went with Wagner to re- connoitre the house, and on his return he said he had seen a strange man smoking a pipe at the window. Cross-examined—Many robberies I have perhaps been concerned in, and, with Wagner's suggestion, have been robbing the bankers as much as I could. I have not been yet sentenced, though conyicted. I make this known because I think it for the best. Ido expect a mitigation of punish ment, but cannot say what will be done ixt.my case. The case was proceeding when we went to press. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Anthony Gattenby and William Vale were found guilty of unlawfully conspiring together to obtain of Edward Gar renton the sum of £5 with intent to defraud. Vale was sentenced to 18 months, and Gattenby to 6 months, in the House of Correction. THIRD COURT, . (Before the Common Sergeant.) Henry Humbury was found guilty of feloniously cutting and wounding Charles Humbury with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. He was sentenced to two months' imprisonment.
