MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Although some unimportant cases of embarass meat were reported yesterday afternoon, the en gagements of the 4th of the month have been very well provided for, and as soon as the effect of the necessary preparations has subsided, the money market is expected to exhibit further indications of easiness. Business of all kinds being so much restricted, the enquiries for accommodation on mer cantile account are still below the average, and with the accumulated resources of the banks it is thought that lower rates must ultimately prevail, although an important reduction has already taken place. The large daily influx of gold into the Bank of England also strengthens confidence in the future prospects of the market. About £60,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. The Water Nymph has arrived from Australia with £203,000 in specie. The Kangaroo, which left Liverpool yesterday for New York, took £6,535 in specie; and the New York, from Southampton, conveyed £l,lOO from England, £l,llB from Havre, and £13,653 from Bremen. There was less animation in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, but prices were very firm. The sales were 8,000 bales. At a meeting of the London Joint Stock Bank, to-day, Mr. F. Badewald was appointed a director. A recovery of about per cent. has taken place in the English Stock Market, owing to purchases on speculative account. Consols are now quoted 931 for money to the 10th ; and 931 for October. The New Threes and the Reduced are steady at 911 1 ; Exchequer Bills are at ls. dis. to 2s. prem. ; ditto, June, ss. prem.; India 5 per Cents. is 1031 f i ; and the New Loan Scrip, 1038. The dealings in the Foreign Securities have been limited, but prices tend upwards. Turkish 6 per Cents, are 80 to 801; ditto, 1858, 661; Spanish Deferred have improved to 421; and Dutch 21 per Cents. to 611 ; Equador are flat at 15. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : 1861.

James Stevens, of 5, College-street, Marlborough-road, Chelsea, a boy about 9 years of age, was charged before Mr. Beadon with killing a duck, the property of the Commissioners of Woods and Works. From the evidence of Nathaniel Arthur, park-constable 55, it appeared that on the previous afternoon while near he bridge at the head of the Serpentine his attention was called by some ladies and gentlemen, who told him that the prisoner had killed a duck (which was produced in court). He ran after the prisoner, who was stopped by a Life Guardsman, and, on taking him into custody he said he had thrown a stone, but did not intend to kill the duck, and that another boy had thrown some stones. He, however, saw no other boy near the spot. The boy's father said his son told him that another boy killed it. Mr. Beadon said it was very serious. It was not so much the killing the duck as throwing stone. He should fine the boy 405., or a month. It was a thing that must be stopped. The father asked that the fine might be decreased. Mr. Beadon said he would not put it lower. There was cruelty and other things mixed up in the boy's conduct. Parents should take care of their children.

An impression seems to be very general at Liver pool that passengers to or from the United States require to be cautioned at the present juncture against any ready expression of th e i r op i n i on on th e Ci v il W ar . It is alleged that persons in the service of the Washington Government are on board all the boats both ways, and they assume to be Federalists or Confederates, as occasion may require. Some of them are foreigners, and those, it is said, are espe cially dangerous who pretend great sympathy with the Southerners. Share • Railway s. i paid. Closmg Business Price.

Six furlongs. _ _ _ The disabled and immense piece of machinery, as our readers are aware, lies on its side deeply embedded in the ground, and, as we described yesterday, a temporary line of rails had been laid down for the purpose of making an easy road for it up the incline. A number of chains having been appended to the off side and from the cranes fixed above, the first effort made was to haul the locomotive over, so as to get it upon the temporary rails. After a great many attempts to effect this object, it was found impossible to move the engine in the manner proposed, so other means had to be devised. A large and very powerful machine, called a " Sampson screw," was then produced ; and having been fixed to the side of the engine, the lifting power was applied, and gradually the engine was raised inch by inch, but the awkward position of it was not in the least degree altered ; and alter a great many futile attempts, it was ultimately decided to keep the engine partly raised from the ground in order to enable the company's men to further extend the temporary line of rails underneath it, so that in the event of its turning over, by any of the means that are to be ap plied, it may fall upon the temporary trams. We regret to announce that, while the efforts were being made to raise the engine, one poor fellow received a very severe injury to his hand, so much so that he was obliged to be conveyed to the hospital.

Mr. Strugnell, were yesterday, at Middlesex Sessions, found guilty of an attempt to defraud, and were sentenced, Johnson to twelve and Wilson to six months' imprisonment with hard labour. The English postal authorities in the West Indies have given notice that the American steamers plying between Havana and New York have resumed the service, and that it is anticipated the postal communication by those steamers will not suffer further interruption. PICKING POCKETS IN AN OMNIBUS.—Mary Ann Edwards, a dressmaker, was found guilty yesterday at the Middlesex Sessions of picking pockets in one of the Gene ral Company's omnibuses, and was sentenced, as she was known to be a regular omnibus thief, to six y ears' penal servitude. APPLICATION OF STREET RAILWAYS TO LIVER rooL.—At the Liverpool Town Council yesterday, the question of street railways was discussed in connection with a report of the committee appointed to sonsider the subject. The Liverpool Street Railway and Omnibus Company (limited), which consists of an association of the principal omnibus owners of the town, had proposed very liberal plans to the council, to the effect that they would be at the expense of constructing the lines, and hold the cor poration free from any action that might arise for damage to persons or property. They would also claim no peculiar monopoly in the right of way. The committee recommended that the applicants should be allowed to construct a line (in continuation of an existing suburban one), under the supe rintendence of the borough engineer, but that it should be brought no further into the town than St. George's-hall. During the proceedings a report was read from the borough engineer, Mr. Newlands, disapproving generally of Mr. Train's plan of rails, and recommending for adoption the plan tried in Manchester, of merely wheelways, and a guiding line an inch deep in the middle of the horse track. After a full discussion of the subject it was referred to the health committee (who control the highways in Liverpool) to act upon. NARROW ESCAPE AT ARTILLERY PRACTICE.—A few evenings since, as the 4th and 13th Kent Volunteer Ar tillery Corps were carrying on practice with common 10- inch shell from the Centro and No. 1 Bastions, at Sheerness, a fragment of one of the shells passed a little in advance of the bows of her Majesty's tender Sylph, while a second piece passed through her mainsail. There is no blame attributable to the officers who commanded the practice, as every precaution was taken before firing in ascertaining that the range was clear. It appears, however, that not sufficient allowance was made for the lateral spreading of the fragmentary portions of the shell, which sometimes es gno yards and upwards. Fortunately, no injury was sustained by the comtnanueL 41.0 orour, and the colonel-commandant has adopted the precaution of reducing the bursting charges of common shell to one-half of the authorised amount, which will in future obviate the possi bility of any danger resulting to craft who are out of the range of fire , —,South-Eastern Gazette.

Given the greatest amount of inflammable mate rial in the vicinity of property the most valuable and the least replaceable in the most crowded locality and the most prominent position of the greatest metropolis in the world, and the fire that took place last night can be realised. In the north western corner of the narrow spot allowed as the limits of St. Paul's Cathedral, is a tolerably wide space narrowing from the churchyard, so called, into a small court which leads into Paternoster row, and extending on one side into a yard or pas sage—the houses composing which are a green grocer's (Mr. Fox's), who is also a hay and corn dealer, the very exact sort of trade that ought not to have bad such a neighbour as Mr. Knight, the great tallow-chandler, whose premises—burnt down about eleven years ago—(then belonging to Messrs. Cuthbert and Co.), have for more than half a cen tury been known as the great standing, almost im memorial, and therefore impracticable and in exorable nuisance of the neighbourhood. Next to these premises, facing towards St. Paul's Church yard, is the well-known hostel of the Goose and Gridiron. Messsrs. Knight's premises extend through, into Paternoster-row, and are flanked on either side by Blackie, Son, and Co., booksellers, No. 44, comprehending also the establishment of Messrs. Green, Atkinson, and Co., lithographers; Mr. Thomas Hodgson, publisher ; Mr. Alexander Martin, book agent ; and Messrs. Timbury and Co., bookbinders' toolcutters. On the other side is Mr. Thomas Brown's, of the firm of Longman and Co., No. 39, and from 38 to 41, the extensive premises of Messrs. Longman and Co. On the other side of Messrs. Blackett's are. Messrs. Hitchcock and Co.'s. A few minutes after twelve Richard Gallaher, No. 107, saw smoke issuing from the premises o f Mr. Cox, and instantly summoned the engine from Farringdon-street. The flames, however, had ob tained an unmanageable ascendancy, and speedily the fire, having destroyed a stable under Mr. Fox's premises, and with it a van and horse, broke into the adjacent store-house of combustibles at Mr. Knight's, and a conflagration rapidly burst forth which lighted up the great cathedral to the very dome, and signalised to the whole metropolis that a vast fire was threatening devastation to that crowded neighbourhood. The fire now raged, through, into Paternoster-row; the tons of tallow in the cellars of Mr. Knight blazing up like a caul dron, and hissing and exploding a gas, the more inflammable, the more water was poured upon it in the hope of extinguishing its dangerous force. The supply of water was abundant, and so far as the neighbouring " Goose and Gridiron" was concerned, the fiery element was speedily swamped, but not before the premises were destroyed. In Paternos tor-row, Messrs. Blackie's was utterly destroyed, with all connected with it. Across the narrow Row, of about 18 feet, the flames rushed, and caught the roofs of the opposite premises of Miss Pattie, No. 31, and Messrs. Heylin, No. 28, but these were soon extinguished by the admirably directed engines of the brigade. At a quarter past two o'clock the front of Mr. Knight's premises, Nos. 42 and 43, fell into the "Row," but fortunately with out injuring any one. The attention of the brigade was now directed to Mr. Brown's house and the premises of Messrs. Longman, but we regret to say that the first mentioned house was utterly de• stroyed, and the stock and premises of Messrs. Longman sustained a damage which is irreparable, when the many.precious and valuable works con tained therein is taken into estimation. Of the throng that gathered round and about the Row it is unnecessary to speak ; but no words can do adequate justice to the well-disciplined exertions of the police force and the gallantry and conduct of the firemen, working as they did within an area at once so limited and so full of danger. Messrs. Sherrard's land steam fire-engine, assiduously worked by Foreman Gerrand, of the Watling street brigade, did most excellent service; indeed, was the great repressive and overmastering engine of the night—in fact, what was done by this engine is a proof that steam power to work fire-engines is an absolute essential in the presence of any great conflagration, and must for the future form the principal component of every fire brigade. LATEST PARTICULARS. At eight o'clock this morning, after the most un tiring exertions, the engines ceased playing upon the building • and at about ten o'clock a hasty sur vey was made over the blackened and smoking heaps of bricks, rafters, broken furniture, books;81c. The ravages of the fire have been most terrific. The whole of the premises of Messrs. Knight, the tallow inciters, aro level with the ground, and the only part of Messrs. Blackie's, the publishers, No. 44, are nearly in the same state. The front wall, however, still stands erect, but the sides are j not above 16 or 17 feet high. The damage done to the warehouse of the Messrs. Longman, the eminent publishers, in the Row, is very serious. The roof is entirely de stroyed, and the quantity of valuable books destroyed must be enormous, as many thousands of volumes have already been removed all but totally de stroyed. _ _ _ Another serious loss will be incurred by the damage done to the stock in the warehouse of Mr. George Hitchcock, the extensive silk mercer, St. Paul's Churchyard. The business of the firm was this morning entirely suspended in consequence of the assistance required to remove other portions of the stock out of danger from the water flowing about in all directions. The houses on the opposite side of " the Row" to those destroyed have suffered very severely from the effects of the fire, the whole of the fronts having with difficulty been prevented taking fire. At one o'clock today, as a matter of precaution, the hose affixed to the water main in front of Lon don House-yard was kept charged, and another in a similar condition was still discharging itself into the ruins of the tallow melters premises. Of course no estimate of the loss can be arrived at, but no doubt it will be found to be enormous. The scene of the disaster has been visited by thousands, and it requires the utmost exertion of the police to keep the curiosity seekers out of danger. THIS DAY'S SKIPPING.

GARIBALDI NOT GOING TO AMERICA.—The Wash ington correspondent of the Philadelphia Press says : " There is no truth in the reports that Garibaldi proposes to help us out of our troubles. A gentleman here, person ally acquainted with Garibaldi and his son, received a letter from the latter a few days ago, in which the son says he desired himself to come out and take part in the struggle now going on here for liberty, and that his father objected on the ground that ours was a family quarrel, and could be settled more easily without foreign interference than with it, and that it was based upon a political question in which the nations were not interested, and in the settle ment of which they could not become parties. These are now the views and sentiments of Garibaldi as expressed by his son in private correspondence of very late date." HORSEWHIPPING A CONDUCTOR.—Wm. Adams was yesterday fined 12s. at the Lambeth Police-court for violently horsewhipping the conductor of Train's travelling car, in the Kennington-road. Adams was driving his cart slowly in front of the car, and when he was asked to move off the tram he moved slower than before, and when the oon- remonstrated with he replied by horsewhiPPing ductor who had spoken to him, THIS DAPS MARKETS.

To .day's market was moderately sppplied with beasts. Prime breeds moved off steadily at, in some instances, rather higher prices; otherwise, the beef trade ruled in active at Monday's currency. The general top price was 4s 8d per Sibs. The supply of sheep was also extensive, and the demand for most breeds exhibited a slight im provement at fully previous quotations. Lambs—the show of which was limited—sold steadily at full currencies, viz., from 5s to Gs per 811 , s.

A YEAR OF ~ ciTURCLI REFORM:, (From the Liberator.) We have now before in the 13th general report of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. . . . A bishop—one of the Ecclesiastical Commission—is a gainer by the past year's effort at " Church Reform." We had thought that grants out of the funds of the Ecclesiastical Commission towards bishop's palaces had ceased for some years past, but we were mis taken. The Bishop of Salisbury appears in the present report as a suppliant for 12,000 for' adding to, altering, and improving the episcopal house of residence. This £2,000 makes up the sum spent on bisb op's palaces by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners out of the fund " for the relief of spiritual destitution in populous places," to nearly £172,000. Next to the bishops come the archdeacons. Three of these " oculi episcopi" are benefited by the last S ear's proceedings of the Commission. The Arch deacon of Cardigan gets £2OO per annum; the Arch deacon of St. Alban's a stall in Rochester Cathe dral, value £9OO per annum ; and the Archdeacon of Totnes £162 per annum—all out of the fund for the relief of spiritual destitution. The income of the second of these dignitaries, independently of his archdeaconry, is £778. Deans and chapters follow archdeacons. In their collective capacity the Dean and Chapter of. Wor cester have had voted to them this year the sum of £15,000 for the repairs of 'Worcester Cathedral. Now the Dean and Chapter of Woreeteter have an income, according to the report of the Cathedral Com missioners, of rather more than £9,000 per annum, and they are obliged to repair tb.e Cathedral out of this income. They have, however, it now ap pars, neglected to do this : they have preferred tw distrihute the revenues of the Cathedral amongst themselves. Here we have the result,—£ls,ooo taken from the relief of spiritual destitution. Chapter property to this amount is therefore cold, the Ecclesiastical Commissioners becoming the pur chasers, in order that the expense of repair, as the order in council expresses, should not be " o,larged. on the parties now entitled to the benefit and en joyment of the divisible corporate revenues of the said dean and chapter." But the deans, in their individual rapacity, are not neglected. First, the Dean of York has his £2,000 legally secured to him ; and secondly, the Dean of Chichester has all anxiety respecting his future income dispelled by £l,OOO per annum being warranted by an order in council. - - But do the poor clergy get nothing out of the funds of the Commission? Undoubtedly they do. But on what principle are these funds distributed ? From the list of 145 benefices augmented daring the year, six belong to London, one to Bristol, one to Macclesfield, one to Norwich, one to Nottingham, one to Rochdale, and one to Smethwick ; but not one to Liverpool, Birmingham, Coventry, or any other place where destitution has become notorious. On the other hand, we have a curacy (Albrighton), with a population of seventy, augmented with a capital sum of £467; Tredington, with a• popu lation of 150, augmented with a similar grant of £7OO ; Tunstall, with a population of 150, aug mented with a grant of £125 • while Bury, in Sussex, with a population of only 599, is actually augmented, in addition to three previous annual grants of £lO, £39, and £lO respectively, with a grant amounting to two hundred and twenty-eight pounds per annum. In London, the perpetual curacy of St. Matthew, Pell-street, is augmented by a capital sum of £l,OOO ; while the pew-rents alone of the same church are stated, in another part of this report, to amount to £226 per annum. And this, while the ministers of district churches in populous places are only allowed, on an average, £137 per annum ! Of the £51,003 12s. 9d. expended by the Coin mission in the year, the legal expenses amount ed to £13,502 15s. 4d. ; the surveyors received £8,532 Os. 4d. ; the clerks, £15,578 19s. ; and the agents, £10,453 2s. 9d. Bishops, archdeacons, dean and chapters, deans, minor canons, lawyers, surveyors, clerks and ag;ents are, then, according to the Ecclesiastical Commis sioners, the " spiritually destitute" for whose relief they were appointed. And this is ,‘ Chumh Reform !" DESPERATE LEAP AND RENT E ESCAPE.— On the afternoon of Thursd a y last a man, named Laker,' a s ho e maker, native of Ashfo rd, p erformed several most des perateleaps while in a frantic stat e o f m i n d , d a ngero serious injury.

He aftßrwards became more Composed, was got to bed, and medical advice was obtained. About 2 o'clock on Ow following afternoon he crept quietly out of lam , izmbed up to a window placed above the half. ' fending of the stairs, and jumped from the sash on to the roof of a scullery, about 20ft. below. The roof giving way beneath his weight, he fell through, and running across the yard, sprang to the top of a wall 7ft. or Bft. high. Thence he jumped on to the roof of another building, 20ft. or 30ft. below, and then made another descent to a still lower build ing, breaking in the slated roof, and falling backwavds, ae is supposed, into the yard of No. 14, Undercliff. ?de then proceeded into the kitchen of that house, where, he was found leaning on the table in a trembling condition, and with no other clothing than a shirt. The crashing noise caused by his falls attracted the attention of 'Mr. W. F. Beecham, jun., Mr. Sellman, and others, who immediately ran to the spot; and to their great surprise found that , although cut and bruised, the poor man did not appear to have broken any bones "or sustained any serious injury.
