--'--.--.__ ONEY MAIIKEZ SHARE MARKETS. AND COMMERCIAL INTELL: CITY, Tyro The Liverpool Cotton Market, ye ste - r day, closed quietly, at the full prices of last week The sales were estimated at 5,000 to 6,000 I 'ales, 500 of ,0 which were taken for export, co' mpr i s i ng 300 At Pernam and Maranham, at 6}d. to 7d. ; 200 Egyptian, 6d. to Bd. ; and 600 iurat, 4id. to bid. per lb. The Railway Share Market ruled '74 steadily, with a moderate extent of business. 22 Advices from the German wool inarkfAs report s an active business for home co'asumption, and St. large purchases for export. At Perlin the Ham- l A' burg merchants continue to buy fine wap lied wools 50 at 80 th., and there are purchasers from the REine 20 manufacturers disposed to give an el . ually high 10 price, which renders the market firm. A parcel 10 of old Russian wool was sold lately :24 60 th. per ;I centner, and some combing qualities at 70 th. aye- St. rage. At Breslau accounts to the lf,th inst, state s T that the week just ended had bee n um isua ll f active, with sales of about 1,500 centuers br ought to mar- g ket.

The imports of 10 Polish wool into this market conti'aue to be abun- 1 4 : 0 1 dant ; and those from Russia, f o r .0 e greater part, .3 t . have already arrived. In the French markets 10 business is less active on account tof holders of stock - 3t : demanding a further advance in prices. At Cha- st. lons, in addition to the rise already reported, , 3 ` 3 .- purchasers have been obliged ) give from sc. to i t . 10c. per kilogramme. At Ma rseillefs there have been moderate importations of wool, which have realised full rates. In the Colonial Produce Marl this week there has been an absence of extensiv e dealing, and the prices of several of the leading staples, owing to the limited inquiry and the r ecent large arrivals, have tended downwards. SugF sr, both Colonial and Foreign, has been rather cheat_ her, and a very limited quantity has been disposed of publicly. Native 1 Ceylon Coffee is cheaper, a' id of this article also the sales have been limited. Cocoa has I been firm. Tea dull, a' ; 8;d. to Sid. per lb. for cougou, and rice has been in active demand at 6d. to 9d. per cwt. advance, owing to the rise in the Corn Mark( )t. A few sales of in- 10 digo have taken place a' .; full rates. Cochineal is s s t t : ld. per lb. cheaper, and Saltpetre has declined 3d. 50 to 6d. per cent. In sp ices there is no change to L it report. Cotton maintains steady quotations, and 45 tallow has been firm, Wool, at the public sales, is purchased freely, ant' t the attendance of buyers has rather increased. No improvement in prices, St. however, has taken p lace. 50 At. At Mark-lane, thi s morning, a further slight St advance occurred in the price of English wheat. t. s At the appreachir g meetingof the Southampton st. Dock Company adi vidend for the half-year at the rate of 4 per cent., requiring 7,2111. 145., will be 6 recommended. Ti ie sum availabiefor this purpose 50 is 7,7391. 125., sc.. that there will be a balance of Bt. 527/. 18s. to be c.:srried to the next half-year's ac- 10 count. The incr ease in the gross revenue for the last half-year out Jr the like period of 1855 is 1,595/. )0 9s. 4d., and the proposed dividend is per cent. 10 mere than the last one. The directors. of the Ottoman Bank have an nounced that, business has been commenced at Constantinople and Galatz, and that arrangements are nearly complete d for opening branches at Smyrna and Beyrou. t. The favourable change in the weather, and the Continued easiness of the Money Market, have Produced an advance of 1 per cent. on the English Funds, notwithstanding the grain mar ket still tends upwards.

He was in the act of Passing in his gig a crossing near to Todenham wharf, 5 ,5 When the passenger train, which leaves Moreton for 20 Stratford at 8 o'clock p.m., was seen coming along the 25 line at a rapid rate. The guard of the train, seeing the danger of the party, hallooed at the top of his voice, and 20 applied the breaks, but all was of no avail, for at. the 19 °, next moment the u n f ortunate gentleman was hurled into L 2 the air, and, in f a lli ng to the ground, came in contact 100 with the metals. O ne o f his ears was cut off, and his 25 skull fractured, besides other very severe injuries. Little 25 Lope is entertained of his recovery.

Mr. Bumpstead, inspector of Bank of England notes, proved that the plates, block for water marks produced, &c., were spurious. The prisoner Thompson made a rambling and lengthy address to the jury through the interpreter. The pur port of it was that the press and articles found belonged to Ulric, a lithographer and engraver, the man alluded to in Mr. Fryer's evidence, and that they were brought to the lodgings in Upper Berners-street, Commercial-road East, by Freitz, who had lent Ulric 4/. on them. The prisoners being in indigent circumstances were desirous of raising money on the press, and on breaking open a box they also had of Ulric's, they then found the gum, plates, ink, pads, Ste., produced. They consulted what they had better do under the cimumstances, and it was suggested that the plates should be broken up, the papers burnt, and the press sold, and one of them advised their giving information to the police, and so make money by it. That, however, was not done, and the things were put into the cupboard. He then went into the City, and on his return they held another consulta tion on what should be done with the things, and it was then that the police broke into the house like thieves and apprehended them. Freitz, in his defence, said he had recently been dis charged from the German Legion, and that he considered it an honour to have served under England's banner. He denied having any intention or ever having been en gagrd in such a nefarious practice as that charged against him. The One on high knew his heart was clean and innocent of this charge, and he called on the jury to do justice to his injurcl honour. Thonap3on, who had also belonged to the German Legion, denied any knowledge of the articles till the day of his apprehension, when they were produced and a consultation held relative to their disposal. lie lived with the prisoners, who were his c)untrymen, for e sake of economy. He suggested that the articles should be taken to the police station, but being strangers they did not know how to act, and it was not carried out. He also denied baying been engaged in making imitation Bank of England notes. Mr. Baron Martin, in summing up, said that the jury must be satisfied, before they convicted the prisonerp that they had these articles i n t h e i r possess i on for the, purpose of using them in the manufacture of forged Bank of ,England notes for issue by themselves, or of selling them to other person s for that purpose. The prisoners had made able statements relative to how they became possessed of the things, and it would be for the jury to say if they were consistent with truth and the facts of the case. The jury found the prisoners guilty. Mr. Haddleston handed in a forged 51. Bank of England note, evidently produced from the plate found at their lodgings for issuing, for which Thompson wre tried at Guildford, and acquitted. His lordship said the prisoners had been convicted on the clearest and moat satisfactory evidence by a j ury composed partly of foreigners and of Englishmen, one of the former being their countryman. He s en t ence d t h em each to six years' penal servitude. - - UTTERING A FORGED 51. Nora. —John, Dumont, a German, 23 years of age, was charged with feloniou,ly uttering a 51. Bank of England note, with intent t, de. fraud. It appeared from the evidence that on the 21st July, the prisoner went into a baotmaker's shop, in White chapel-road, and purchased a pair of boots for 143. 61., giving a 51. note in payment. Prosecutor asked him where he got the note, and he said from a friend of his at Liverpool (where he bad just COl3lO f rom), who had been discharged from the foreign legion. At prosecutor's request, he wrote his name, " John Dumont," on the note, and prosecutor, not liking the appearance of the note, detained the prisoner on the plea (:f getting change, but in reality sent for a policeman. During the absence of the man the prisoner was very uneasy, walked up and down the shop, and asked for a glass of water, which after some time was given him. He then walked to the door and out of the shop, walking rapidly down the street. Prosecutor called after him, on which he in creased his speed, and he had to run after him to bring back to the shop. Prisoner said, "I am in no fear of my change." Prosecutor replied, " You must return and get it. I shall not let you go without it. " After the prosecutor brough' , him back to his shop, prisoner went to the water-closet, where the prosecutor saw him throw pieces of paper down the water-closet, one of which turned oat to have an address, Wells-street, on it. Prosecutor went there, and ascertained the prisoner was known to the occupier of the house ; but on the policeman going there the fol o wing day they denied all knowledge of him. Mrs. Fryer, who gave evidence in the last case, proved that the prisoner lodged with her iu July last. Mr, Bump Lewis Bohn, 25, Augustus Freitz, 32, and Charges Thompson, 32, were indicted for feloniously and know ingly having in their possession a plate and other in. struments for making 51. Bank of England notes without authority. Mr. Huddleston and Mr. Bailey prosecuted. The prisoners were undefended. John Spital, one of the City detectives, deposed that, about 2 o'clock in the day on the 12th of August, he and three other officers went to 42, Upper Bernard street, Commercial-road East. He and one of the offi cers, seeing the window of the house partly open, threw back the blinds and got in, whilst the two other officers entered by the door. He saw in the room the three prisoners at the bar. Thompson was turning the handle of a small neat iron press, which witness produced. Freitz was standing at the side of Thompson ; and Bohn was lying on the bed. They had all their coats off. He seized Thompson and the press at the same time. He found only a bit of foreign newspaper in the press, but on searching the rooms, in the cupboard he found a copper plate with an impression resembling a Bank of England note, and 14 pieces of paper with water marks of waves, and the words "Bank of Eng land " and " fiva similar to those on Bank of England notes. He also found three cakes of gelatine, a knife, a stamp with printer's ink on it, and four pads with a faint impression on them, such as might be produced by the copper plate referred to. He also found another plate, with a faintkengraving on it. In a portmanteau in the room be found twelve pieces of paper similar to those above, and four pads. In a back room he found several pieces of paper like the others spread on lines drying, and there were paper ashes in the grate, which on exa mining he found corresponded with those hanging on the lines. He found several other articles, and amongst them a magnifying glass. The prisoners are all Germans, and witness, through an interpreter, was cross-examined by them. He said he bad never seen Thompson before ; he found nothing on him, and he was unable to say if the articles seized belonged to any of the prisoners. Joseph Huggings, a City detective, who accompanied the last witness to the prisoner's house, deposed that he apprehended Freitz, and on searching him he found a small purse, in which were five metal figures ; four figures were on one piece of metal, and one on another. The metal was similar to that found by last witness. One piece had the figures "8,875" on it, and the other "2," which admitted of their being used in different forms. In a cupboard he found a box con'Aining a board for making water-marks in paper, similar to Bank of England Si. notes. The plate is dated 12th May, 1856. By the side of the press he found a small square stone, with wet ink on it. On charging Freitz, with the other two prisoners standing by his side, he replied, "I know nothing. lam a paper hanger." Edward Fennel, another detective, produced two cans of working ink, a bottle of oil, gum, printers' ink, &c., and the paper ashes found in the prisoners' room. Joseph C. Lyte, the fourth detective, was placed in the box, but was not examined by the prosecution. The prisoners put several questions to him, but which were not material. Matilda Winter deposed that she and her husband occupied the house in question. On Friday, the 7th, the prisoner Thompson came and engaged the rooms in which the prisoners were found by the police. He re presented himself to be an engraver. On the Monday fol lowing all three came there and had tea together, and Biel t there that night. On Tuesday afternoon about 3 o'clock a cab drove np to the house, and Thompson took from it what appearcl to be a package covered with a white cloth. The prisoner Freitz borrowed a saucer of her, in which he mixed some glue. Mrs. Rebecca Fryer, 19, Little Alley-street, Whiter chapel, deposed that Bobn and Freitz lodge I with he up to the 11th of August last. Thompson visited them. They left her lodgings on that day without notice. Cross-examined—A man named Ulric Freitz and Bohn lodged with her up to July. They represented themselves as stewards, just come from America. Ulric did not represent himself to be an engraver. She saw Thompson bring to her house a press similar to that produced. He stumbled against her as he brought it into her house, and she at first thought it was a coffin. She found under the bed in Freitz's room a handle si milar to that on the press produced. She could not say that Bohn knew the others were lodging with her when he took the lodgings, hut, on finding Preitz there he expressed great pleasure at it, and said he well his inti mate friend, and he would sooner meet him than his father. kberdeen Deben.

The prisoner, in defence, said he was discharged from 'zhe Foreign Legion at Plymouth, and afterwards went to Liverpool, where he gave a black man change for the note in question, believing it to be a good one. The prisoner communicated with the Court by means of an interpreter, because he said he c3uld not speak English, but the prosecutor said he spoke English very well when he called at his shop and tendered the note in payment for the boots. The jury found the prisoner guilty. His lordship, in sentencing the prisoner, said he had seen a correspondence between the manufacturer of these notes and the seller, and it was there stated that the parties who became possessed ;of them should pass the forged notes to country butchers, probably from the supposition that as country butchers paid farmers in notes, and that as they would speedily change hands, detection of the original issuer would be'impossible. He cautioned country butchers how they took notes. He sentenced the prisoner to 12 months' imprisonment with hard labour. John Lctito, who pleaded guilty yesterday to a charge of uttering a forged dividend warrant on the South- Eastern Railway Company, was sentenced to three months' imprisonment with hard labour. Tonquin Savilla, who pleaded guilty yesterday to a charge of forging PeraviAn Bands, was sentenced to 14 years' trarsportation. Summers, found guilty yesterday of uttering a forged 51, Bank of England note, wa 3 sentenced to four years' penal servitude. Seconzn, who pleaded guilty to a similar offence, embracing four distinct charges, was sentenced to six years' penal servitude. THIRD COURT. HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—Mary Ann Donavan was in dicted for stealing a sovereign, the property of a foreign gentleman. From the evidence of the prosecutor, it appeared that on the night of the 14th of August he was walking along Milbank, about 9 o'clock, when the prisoner ac costed him and solicited him to accompany her to a house of ill fame. He refused to do so, and he requested her to walk on, but instead of doing so she put her hands into his waistcoat pocket and took therefrom a sovereign and a sixpence. He tried to prevent her running away, and, in the struggle, his r,ng, valued at 151., was taken from his finger by the woman. On discovering the loss of his ring he called " police," and before the constable arrived he (witness) saw the ring in the woman's possession, and he immediately attempted to recover his property. The prisoner struggled violently, but he succeeded in getting the ring from her, but not before she had bit him se verely in the hand, the marks of which still remained. After struggling for some time a policeman came up, and the woman was given into custody. In answer to the charge, the woman said the gen tleman stopped her, and behaved in a very indecent manner towards her. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. The learned Commissoner, in passing sentence, said that the prisoner had, to all intents and purposes, com mitted a highway robbery. The place where the robbery was committed was a very lonely place, and it was con• sequently frequented by a great number of very bad cha racters, whose sole object it was to waylay and rob anybody who might happen to pass along. Such practices must be put down by the strong arm of the law, and in order that persons of the same class as the prisoner might learn what they had to expect if brought to that court, he should pass a severe sentence upon her. From the fact of having been previously convicted, he had no doubt that she was one of those parties who habitually prowler , about the locality. He should, therefore, sentence her to four years' penal servitude. BIIIIGLARY.—Mary M'Kenzie was charged with bur• glariously breaking into the house of Joseph Hearn, and stealing therefrom two pairs of boots and a quantity cf wearing apparel. From the evidence it appeared that the premises, situate in Princes-row, Lambeth, were made secure at about twelve o'clock at night, and in the morning the house was found to have been robbed. The prisoner was apprehended by the police with the property in her possession before the information of the robbery was received at the station-house. The prisoner denied the charge, and said the pro. perty belonged to her even after Mrs. Hearn had iden tified it as belonging to her husband. The jury found the prisoner guilty of having property In her possession, well kcowing it to have been stolen. Two previous convictions were proved against the pr 7 soner. The learned judge sentenced her to six months' kn. priqoninent. MARKET Day.) CORN EXt;tIANGE. • Very moderate supplies of English wheat have come to hand this week coastwise and by land carriage. The show of samples here to-day was ti illicit , . For all kinds we bad a good inquiry, and sales were :Elected at 3s per quarter above the rates current on Monday. Although we were well supplic I with foreign wheat, and the fresh imports are good, that article was in request, and fine qualities were is to 2s per quarter clearer. Floating cargoes commanded more money. The barley trade was very firm, at fully Monday's cur rency. Milt was in short supply, and moierate request, on 'ormer terms. An immense supply of foreign oats having come to hand inferior qualities were dull and drooping. Prime sample.; supported late rates. Beans and peas were firm. Flour sold steadily, and country marks were is to 2s dearer. 0 ARRIVALS THIS WREN. Wheat. Barley. I Malt. Lnglish .. 1,250 SO 3,920 frith SO Foreign • , 15,840 I 5,830 / Oats.

WORTH OF PAPER ON THE RIVER THAMES.—John Bullivant, Alfred Dale, Arthur Grim wood, and Richard Smnitlt, the three former waste paper dealers and the latter a lighterman, were finally exa mined before Mr. Combe, charged with stealing several bundles of paper from barges on the River Thames, valued at near 300/, Mr. Solomon appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Binns for the prisoners. It appeared from the evidence, given at great length, that on the 25th of July a large quantity of paper was brought from Scotland by the Edinburgh steamer Ex press, consigned to several wholesale paper dealers in London. When the vessel arrived off Miller's Wharf the bundles of paper were removed to a barge to be con veyed to the warehouses. On unloading the baNe afterwards thirty-four bundles of paper were missed, and information was given to the police. On the sth of the present month another cargo arrived by the same steam ship, and in conveying the bundles from the ship to the warehouses eighteen more of them were stolen. On Monday, the 11th inst., Inspector Bridges, Thames Po lice, and Sergeant Hewlett, M division,• with other constables, proceeded to Bullivant and Grimwood's house, Leighton-grove, High-street, South wark, where they, with Dale, were removing several bundles of paper in a truck. Th e p r i soner Grim _ . _ _ wood said he had purchased it from Bullivant, at 275. per cwt. On searching Bullivant's house a quan tity of outside wrappers were found, which, with the paper, were removed to the station-house with the three prisoners. Smith was , apprehended as being con nected with the robbery and another extensive robbery of sugar on the river Thames. The outside wrappers were afterwards examined, and the marks corresponded with the 34 bundles stolen on the 26th of July. The shipping-clerk, at Leith identified them as those shipped on board the Express on the 23d of July. After the prisoners had been locked up Inspector Bridges and Ser- geant Hewlett proceeded to the shop of Mr. Cathiswood, gr•cer, in Gutter-lane, where they were shown 15 reams of paper, which that tradesman had purchased on the 26th of July from Grimwood at the regular wholesale price: This paper was taken away, and identified by the shipping clerk as another portion of paper shipped on the 23d. Evidence was also given by Mr. Wallis, a barge builder, and Wilson, a waterman, of John-street, Lambeth, that they saw Smith and another lighterman with a barge, laden with paper, on the river near that spot, on the morning of the 25th of July. Wilson saw the paper landed. Mr. Bruce cross-examined the witnesses in a very able manner, and elicited that Grimwood acted in an open manner all the way through, and that Dale was only a servant of Bullivant's. The whole of the depositions were then taken, mad Mr. Combe committed all the prisoners for trial, ad mitting Dale to bail. METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET There was about an average supply of beasts in to-day's market. On the whole the beef trade ruled steady, at Monday's currency. The show of sheep was seasonably good as to numbers, but deficient in quality. Most brccds moved off steadily, and late rates were well suppot Wed. We had a very slow sale for lambs, at about stationary prices. Primo calves were in request, at extreme rates. Other wise, the veal was in a very sluggish state. In pigs very little was doing. Mitch cows were dull, at from 141. to la'. each, including their small calf. Per Sibs to sink the ofals. s. d. s. d.

ROBBERY IN A SHIP-YARD. —George Morris ; a plumber, painter, and glazier, aged 20, and living at No. 3, Kerby street, Poplar, was brought up before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing 5 lbs. of copper bolts and 4 lbs. of metal bolts in the shipbuilding yard of Messrs. Fletcher and Co., Millwall, Poplar. Robert Ayliffe stated that he was gate keeper to Fletcher and Co., and that yesterday (Thursday) after noon the prisoner approached him at the gate, and was followed by the foreman and another who had suspected him. The prisoner was about to pass out of the yard when he stopped him, and asked him what he had con. cealed about his person, to which he replied nothing. He detained him, and on searching him discovered save ral copper and metal bolts used in shipbuilding on his person. Ho was enabled to identify them as the 'property of Messrs. Fletcher and Co., as they had been previously marked. The reason for doing so was this. The prisoner was in the employ of Mr. Gray, who executed the plumbing work for Messrs. Fletcher and Co., and a few days ago he was sent into the storekeeper's department to obtain a piece of lead to repair a tank, and on that occasion valuable property was missed, and it was believed the prisoner was the thief. The prisoner had been sinco discharged from Mr. Gray's service for dishonesty, and when the prisoner entered the yard yesterday afternoon the copper and metal bolts were deposited in a room and marked, and the prisoner entered the place arid carried them away. The prisoner, on being asked if he had any account to give of the property, made no answer ; and, on the question being repeated, said, " I have no account to give." Mr. Selfe asked the value of the copper and metal bolts, and Ayliffe replied Bs. The father of the prisoner said his son was a very dutiful youth, and always behaved well to him. Mr. Selfe—He may be a dutiful son, but very dis honest. He has been discharged from Mr. Gray's ser vice for dishonesty, and he is now caught taking away valuable property from the shipbuild:ng yard. I sen tence the prisoner to two months' imprisonment and hard labour, fur the unlawful possession of the bolts. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(bis Day.)

The inhabitants of the Danubian Principalities, ac cording to the latest despatches which have reached Paris, are about to organise national petitions, praying the groat Powers to propose their union.

A block of buildings inmaw's alley, Mersey-street, Liverpool, was on Wednesday morning burnt to the ground, and six persons burnt to death in their beds. The Liverpool Daily Post of yesterday thus describes the terrible disaster:— " The lower portion of the premises which were the scene of this morning's conflagration, was occupied by Robt. Dodds as a bakehouse, and has been so for more than three years. It was la this part of the edifice that the fire originated, and it was discovered by an old man named John Gallacher, who worked with Mr. Dodds, and who slept in the bakehouse. About 1 o'clock Gal lacher was awoke by a strong heat, and on springing up he discovered that the tables and the stairs, as well as the door of the bakehouse were in a blaze. He imme diately rushed out, shouting 'Fire !' as loud as he was able, the f Imes f o ll ow i ng hi m i n a d ense volume. ''On the landing cf the stair above the bakehouse a poor lad, about 12 years old, named Patrick Roach, one of the street shooblacks, had been for some time pact a tolerated lodger, and was also awoke by the heat and crackling of the flames ; he, as fa.t as possible, huddled on his clothes, and shouted upstairs to alarm the sleep ing inmates of the upper floors. In doing this the fire gained so rapidly upon him as to envelope the stairs and cut off the possibility of his retreat. In this perilous prelicament the only alternative which presented itself to the poor little fallow was to leap from the window, o height of about 14 feet, which he luckily accomplished without sustaining any injury. "As soon as it was possible to gain access to the pre mises the firemen rushed in to rescue the inmates who it was known had not come out, and whom it was hoped they might be able to save. On gaining entrance, how ever, the appalling fact was revealed that the unhappy sufferers were beyond the reach of aid. The principal portion of the upper premises, to the back, was in the occupation of Mr. Fagan, who kept a small book and chart shop in the neighbourhood of the Custom-house. On entering the apartments occupied by him, he and his wife and three children were all found dead, several cf them being very severely scotched. Mr. Fagan was about 45 years of age, and the children were aged respectively about 8. 5, and 2 years. "The uppermost floor, or wale, was occupied as the sleeping-room of a man named Wade, about 74 years of age, who kept a children's school in the floor below. He also was found lying dead, and much scorched. The bodies were removed to the deadhouse." An inquest was held upon the br)dies of the deceased before Mr. Statham, the deputy c:.roner, yesterday after noon, when the following evidence was adduced : Timothy Moran, joiner, Sharland-street, said, the de ceased, Daniel Wade, was his father-in-law. He was 71 years of age. Had seen hint lying dead in the dead house that morning. He lived in tho house which was burnt down. Wi!ness had seen the house in ruins that morning. Tl:ce.;as Carpenter, hoarding-he:lse-keeper, living in Chit - lotte-place, knew the eeceased .Tobn Fagan and his w fl very well, and the how e where they lived in Shaw's alley, where they had lived about two years. They lived in the top floor. Deceased had a glass of punch with witness at his house at a quarter past 11 o'clock on Wed nesday night. He was perfectly sober when he left wit ness's house. His wife was a very sober woman. Fagan was a chart and bookseller, and had a small shop and stall opposite the Custom house. Pitt!ick Itortee aged about 11 years, stated that on Wednesday night he was sleeping on the landing of the stairs when the fire took place. About half-past 1 o'clock in the morning heard an old man who slept in the cellar shout "Fire," and witness then shouted "Fire" upstairs, but could get no answer. Witness saw the fire coming under the door of the oilskin place, and was obliged to make his escape out of the window. He then went for a policeman to Park-lane. Biought an officer, who went off for additional assistance. While on the stain witness heard Mrs. Fagan scream out, but did not see her. 'When witness got into the street he saw the old man Wade, who slept in the top room, come to the window, and heard him call out ," Is there no help ?" He said nothing more, but appeared to fall back from the window. John Gallacher, an old man, formerly a seaman, stated that he had recently worked in Robert Dcdd's bake house, 14, Shaw's-alley. Slept in the bakehouse on Wednesday night. Neither of the ovens was heated after 6 o'clock that night. They had been heated in the morning to bake dinners. The ovens were heated with sawdust. There was not much sawdust on the premises on Wednesday night. Went to bed about 11 o'clock, having first turned the gas off at the meter. Witness was awakened this morning by the crackling of the fire on the stairs. Ho immediately got up and ran into the street in his shirt. He afterwards tried to get his clothes, but could not, and went into a neighbour's e house, where he remained until daylight.

The oven was heated with sawdust, put in the bottom, lighted, and stirred up with a poker. -Wuitness rented the entire premises, and sub let to the poor people who were burned. The stock in trade was insured f. r 100/. in the Live rpool and London office. Bartholomew M'Carthy, who occupied the middle room as an oilskin manufacturer, was also examined.
