MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocx. Although some unimportant cases of embarass ment 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 it market' is expected to exhibit further indications ,t of easiness. Business of all kinds being so much .4t 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 St Bank of England also strengthens confidence in the ' S I', future prospects of the market. sti About £60,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of st, England yesterday. st The Water Nymph h as arr i ve d f rom Australia it Share with £203,000 in specie.

It is alleged that person s in the service of the Washington Government are on board all the boats both ways, and they assume to be Federalists or C onfederates, 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. 100 all all all all all ,ck ( Do. 5 per test. guar )ek Edin.&Glas. sp.c. shares ock Do. 4p. a gua.

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 Centre 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 ex tend to 900 yards and upwards. Fortunately, no injury was sustained by the commander or any of the crew, 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 Ciazotte, Bedtord and Bletchley Bwkinp..,hamshire Chester it Holyhead...

LATEST PARTICULARS. This morning the scene of this terrible disaster was visited by thousands, in order to witness the steps taken to raise the fallen engine up the embankment. 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. The remains of the lower parts of the passenger carriages have been removed and placed on the line ; but notwith. standing this the appearances of the fearful nature of the accident are still very palpable. Upon making inquiry this morning at the different hos pitals we were glad to learn that no more deaths had oc curred, although the unfortunate stoker, Henry G. Bolton, lies in such a state as to preclude all hope of recovery. Bridges, the guard, notwithstanding the dangerous nature of his wounds, is going on favourably ; and so are the whole of the other sufferers. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. KILLING DUCKS IN THE PARE.- - Wm. 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 bad 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. THAMES. TOBACCO SMUGGLING ON BOARD SHlP.—Charles Phillips, the steward of the ship Aurora Australis, which arrived in the London Dock yesterday from Hobart Town, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with smuggling slbs. of foreign manufactured tobacco. Edwin Savory, an examining officer of Customs, stated that he went on board the Aurora Australis yesterday, on her arrival from Hobart Town, and asked the prisoner if he had any tobacco or cigars. The prisoner answered that he had neither, but the captain had some tobacco. He began to rummage the vessel very closely, and the prisoner be came alarmed, and said, " I have one pound of tobacco, and that is all." He observed to the prisoner, " Why you just now said you had none." The prisoner made no reply to this. He then searched the prisoner's bed place and found another pound of tobacco, and in his chest 3lbs. more. It was Cavendish tobacco, and subject to a prohi bitory duty of 7s. sd. per pound. The value and duty amounted to 525. 6d. The prisoner, in defence, said he had charge of all the tobacco on the voyage out and home. He brought the to bacco produced on board. It was for his own use. when Mr. Selfe—Why did you deny having the tobacco questioned by the officer ? The prisoner—l was bewildered. Two officers were speaking to me at one time. Mr. Selfe—l must infli ct a penalty for this. You are fined £3, and you will lose your tobacco. 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 )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 consider the subject. The Liverpo4 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 expensq 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 nntenoe.,u ‘,rtho " 134 "Aar. but that it should be brought no further into the town than St. (ieorge'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 high Ways in Liverpool) to act upon.

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 Paternosta7a . - 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 had 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 of ' 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 Ly 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 rey was made over the blackened and smoking heaps of bricks, rafters, broken furniture, books,•&c. The ravages of the fire have been most terrific. The whole of the premises of Messrs. Knight, the tallow melters, are 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 not above 16 or 17 feet high. The damage done to the warehouse of the Messrs. Longman, the eminent publishers, in toe 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 to-day, 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. 21118 DAY'S SILIPPING.

GARIBALDI NOT GOING TO AMERICA.—The Wash ington correspondent of the Philadelphia Press says :- 44 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 interferenee 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.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. 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 6s per Blbs. There was a large falling off in the receipts of foreign calves, and the trade was somewhat active at an advance of from 4d to 6d; the top quotation being 5s per Sibs.

A FEAR OF "CHURCH REFORM." (From the Liberator.) We have now before us the 13th general report of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. A bishop—one of the Ecclesiastioal 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 £2,000 for " adding to, altering, and improving the episcopal house of residence. This £2,000 makes up the sum spent on bishop'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 year'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 t'ne 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-suns of £15,000 for the repairs of Worcester Cathedral. Now the Dean and Chapter of Worcester 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 the Cathedral out of this income. They have, however, it now ap pears, neglected to do . this : they have preferred to distribute 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 sold, the Ecclesiastical Commissioners becoming the pur chasers, in order that the expense of repair, as the order in council expresses, should not be " charged. 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 capacity, 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 2unum 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 during the year, six belong to London, one to Bristol, one to Macclesfield, one td 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 awrage, £137 per annum! Of the £51,003 12s. 9d. expended by the Coin mission in the year, the legal expenses amounted to £13,502 15s. 4d. ; the surveyors received £8,532 Os. 4d. ; the clerks, £15,578 195.; and the agents, £10,453 2s. 9d. Bishops, archdeacons, dean and chapters, deans, minor canons, lawyers, surveyors, clerks !tng , ag ni en i t s s_ are, then, according to the Ecclesiastical Commis sioners, i h o e n y e r s w , the ere " a s p p p i r i no u t a e l d l y . d e A s t n i t d u t e i Lf s or h o se Church Reform !" DESPERATE LEAP AND REMARKABLE ESCAPE.-- On the afternoon of Thursday last a man, named Laker, a shoemaker, native of Ashford, performed several most des perate and dangerous leaps while in a frantic state of mind,. and, to the surprise of all who are acquainted with the cir cumstances, he escaped without any serious injury. it tip pears that Laker had been working for and lodging with Mr. Barrat, shoemaker, of No. 2, St. Clement's-place, who on the preceding evening noticed something peculiar in his manner, and in the course of conversation found that he was dwelling upon the delusion of an attempt being made to send law to an asylum. He afterwards became more composed, was got to bed, and medical advice was obtained. About 2 o'clock on the following afternoon he crept quietly out of bed, climbed up to a window placed above the half landing of the stairs, and jumped from the sash on to the roof of a. scullery, about 20ft. below. The roof giving way beneath - Ms 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 lug, breaking in the slated root, and falling backwards, ag is supposed, into the yard of No. 14, Undercliff. He then proceeded into the kitchen or that house, where he was found leaning on the table in a trembling condition/ an . _, with no other clothing than. a shirt.
