CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, yet firmly. Compared with Friday's rates Prices of all kinds were the same. The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 1,000 have been taken on speculation. The sales include 340 Pes rlairt and Maranham, at 61d. to 7d. ; 140 Bahia, 6 1d. t o qd. ; 500 Egyptian, Gid. to 9.1. ; and 1 ,000 Surat, 4d. to 4;/d. per lb. There was a fair einount of business done in the Railway Share Mar ket, but prices were much the same as on Satur day. The commercial advices from New York are con-1 sidered favourable, and although much anxiety was e vinced to obtain further polit ical information from Europe,still the improved prospects of peace con tinued. 'to operate beneficially upon monetary and mercantile affairs. Capital was abundant both in Wall -street and among the commercial community. The Banks discounted freely, and most departments of trade were becoming very active. The last w eekly return of the City Banks exhibited some I , lll Portant changes. The loans a nd discounts were 'arser by 1,344,132 dollars, and the specie increased 1 7,138 dollars. During the week ending Feb. 23, the imports exceeded the exp orts to the amount of '1 29 3,029 dollars. Commercial advices from France show that a feeling of uncertainty still ex ists amon g traders in f ancy wares, and the usual ord ers for bijouterie, , urnoz6, &c., have been kept back, which has ren dered the season very dull to the manufacturers. ° IA th e other hand, the silk factories at Lyons and el sewhere are in full work, with orders from Ameri can and English houses, and on Russian account, 'which will keep them employed for the next two or t hree months. At Paris the sal es of s p rin g novelties h ave not yet commenced , in conse q uence of the la elcwardness of the season , but lar g e p urchases w]l ave be e n made in woollen manufactures. . 44 the provinces trade has i m p roved, and manu facturers of general articles of merchandise are f ullyemployed with town a nd country orders. T hose of Alsace and Rouen have had their stocks 40 completely taken off that purchasers have had so difiaenitv in obtaining, supplies ; and prices, which g had been declining for some time past, have ad- 25 V4 t ic ed. Generally speaking , such a steady state 4Ern2, ~ trade has not existed for some time, as there is 10 ,iPParently all absence of speculative transactions. the same time, all are anxiously looking for ward to the close of the present month, when the 25 1.1.61111 h of the peace negotiations will become known. 192 41 .eanwhile, the feeling displaye d in the commercial 50 W orld shows that the majority are sanguine of a 30 fa vourable result. st. Telegraphic accounts from Ha mbur g state that 50 n ri ceS have been received the re from Norway St announcing that a serious comm ercial crisis has st. rcurred there. In the city of Bergen alone 20 St.s 4° ußes had suspended payments. Notwithstanding the adjustment of the account ‘ l, t l active speculation for an advan ce in p rices pre jilts iu English Stocks, and the least political in ligeoest of importance from Paris may be ex p ected t° exercise a material influence upo n the market. it l by of the dealers have deferred " carrying over" a ir accounts, and the rate this morning ad anced to fully t per cent., a hig her p oint than h ag be en k nown f o r some time past.

ADJOURNRD INQUEST ON THE LATE MR. SADLEIR, Day.) The adjourned inquest on the bcdy of the late Mr. Sedleir was resumed Ude morning at, the W.irkhouse, Hampstead, before Mr. Wak'ey and the jury impanelled on the first occasion. The jury having answered to their flamer, The Coroner asked Mr. Manning, the solicitor to the deceased family if he had any more witnesses to examine Mr. Manning said he had not, but be had some &nu ments to lay before the jury. With regard to the money said to have been paid to the deceased on the Saturday previous to his death, he bad found the deceased had been paid 1,334/. in Bank of England notes, but neither of the notes had been since paid in to the hank. Again the deceased was paid the above amount i❑ a 1,0001., 3001., 501., 201, 101. Bank of England notes, and the remainder in cash. He (Mr. Manning) had received a letter froM Messrs. Freshfield, solicitors to the London and County Joint-Stock Bank, stating► that they be examined the deeds deposited by the deceased, as security with that bank, and found them to be genuine. It was believed that the statement that hail been put forth with regard to the deceased's forgeries were ex aegerated, if not unfounded. The Coroner said that if the matters to which Mr. Manning had referred were to become evidence, wit nesses must be called in support of theae Mr. Manning said it would be impossible to produce evidence that the deceased had, as be had nccused him self, ruined thousands', and he suggested that the in quiry should be strictly confined to the cause of death. The Clown here could have no claim to the chattels of the deceased ; but the Lord of the Manor of Hampstead, under the terms of the original grant of 1561, to Sir Thomas Roth, if the cre ditors could not prove their right to it. The Coroner said the jury had no power to decide on that question. The case since they last met had assumed a more serious aspect than it first appeared to present, and many astounding fade bad come to light through the usual channels of information. The question of claim must be decided elsewhere, and be would not anti cipate that decision by discussing the question then. Mr. Manning said he considered it would be a waste of time to produce more evidence. The case must rest on the evidence of the deceased's friends, and, the letters he bad written to show the state of the deceased's mind. The letters if produced is the Court of Chancery relative to the testamentary disposition of his property would have been sufficient to prove him of sound mind, but he (Mr. Manning) considered that when it was recollected the deceased was in the habit of freely using opium, there could be no doubt that when its effects went off he became much dejected, and it bad an effect on his mind and spirits, and in that desponding state it was probable he had destroyed himself. Mr. Nicholls, the surgeon, was recalled, and said be had again examined the stomach of the deceased, and he, believed it contained opium. Mr. Manning again urged the effect which probably the opium had in depressing the deceased's mind, and the distressing circumstances in which he was placed, to show it was not possible the deceased could have been in his right mind. He had no other evidence to offer. The Coroner then summed up, and said he should re fer to the most important points of the case to guide the jury in arriving at a right conclusion, but before doing so he said that looking at the letter sent by the deceased to the chemist of whom he had the poison, that he scuitted him and also the butler from all blame—the manner in which it was ordered, and the quan- tity, being sufficient to throw any person off Lis guard. He deeply deplored that coroners' juries had to inquire into the state of mind of per: , ons at the time of their ceminitting suicide, because he knew of nothing more calculated to involve persons in a labyrinth of doubt. He believed such inquiries to he utterly use less, and in many cases they were most mischievous ; be cause every now and then verdicts of insanity were re turned as a matter of course, and they had this per nicious effect, that jurymen, from getting into the habit of returning such verdicts where crime nal not appa rently charged, when they had to discharge their duties as jurymen at the Old Bailey on charges of murder, re collecting on what slight grounds they returned verdicts of insanity before the coroner, the worst of cri minate escaped justice, and now and then a mad man suffered extreme. puuishreent After referring to the course adopted by the Court of Chancery in ascer taining the state of a pereon'a mind he said they (the jury) had only to deal with the actions of a dead man, which they mutt couple with the letters he had written, and whicti must be taken as his dying statements. lie next referred to the difficulty of defining insanity, and, said that the jury, from the evidence that ha I been ad duced, would have to say whether the deceased was a rearnsible agent at the time of his committing suicide, or, in other words, that he was in such a condition of mina As trade him mot ally and legally responsible for his actions. It was deeply to be regretted that thin was a subject of so much difficulty. He al ways notieed that jurymen were disposed to lean en the side of mercy end humanity ; but then it should be borne in mind that that feeling re ferred more largo) , to society generally than to the individual, and on that point he again said the practice of coroners' juries in returning verdicts of temporary in sanity where the evidence was slight, was producing the most dieestroue consequences in Criminal Courts of jus tice, and he hoped that before long that practice would be put an end to by an alteration of the law. The Coro ner then referred to the deceased's lettere, which he said were written at a time when he was not so far dis turbed as to create a confusion of ideas. They were writ. ten as if by a man of reasoning and reflective powers, and possessed of a correct memory. At the same time, it was impossible not to know tizat be was suffering intense agony, and the act which be had committed showed, ef itself, the mental suffering that drove him to such an act of desperation ; but then the question arose, was the deceased in that state of mind that made him responsible for his actions ; was he driven to it front an unoontrol able impulse The evidence of the medical gentleman ithowed that, on the post mortem examination, the brain pr: tented no symptoms indicative of its being in a dis ease I state. Reference had been mode to the deceased being in the habit of taking opium, which would be a matter for their consideration, and it would be for them to say, on the whole of the evidence that had been laid before them, whether the deceased committed murder by destroying himself in a toned state of mind, or whe ther ho did it et a time when ho was labouring under insanity. If they hall a doubt upon it let them glee the deceased the benefit of it, and ren-ue his memory from the charge of being a murderer. Having referred to the evidence, The jury retired to consider their verdict. After an abseace of 25 minutes, the jury returned into court, and returned a verdict that the deceased died by his own hand whilst he was in a perfectly sane state. The Coroner —Then that is self-murder. The Foreman—Yes. We are unanimous in that opinion. The Coroner—My own conviction is, after the most mature and careful investigation, that you could have come to no other conclusion. The jury then signed the inquisition, and the inquiry closed. work in the carpent , !r.' shop to his knowledge during that day. A plan was here shown t 3 the witness, and he marked the place where he first saw the fire break out. By Mr. Lawrence—He La(l never seen the iron oF t 133 chandeli, , r heated. William Butler, wiother fireman of the theatre, st. ed he went on duty on the night previous to the fire, at nine o'clock, and remained so till the fire was discovei ( d. He was on the stage when the alarm was given. He raw nothing of the fire until he entere I the carpenters' shop with Castles. Ti3e smoke was so dense it was inipos . ble to get at the fire cocks under the cistern. He had not been higlnr than the top flies on Tuesday night, and at twt lye o'clock there was no Ere that he could discover. At tiaree o'clock on thu morning of the fire ho met Mr. Sloman's brother on the first fly and from him he learned the hour of the merning. After Mr. Sloman left him he (witness) proceeded wp stairs and found everything in the top flies was perfectly safe, and nethiog like fire wee perceptible. On re turning down stairs be entered the flats at the promp side, and crossed to the 0. P. side, and then he returned to the ball-room to prevent. the gentlemen from smoking, and remained there nntil the alarm. Castles came to him, and said there was something " wrong up-stairs," and they immediately ran up-Aairs to the carpenters' shop. There was a heap of wood in the shop fleet* on fire, as much as would half till a cart. The fire bad spread considerably, and the floor in one part had fallen through. The flooring of the shop Was very thick and strong. There was no thing on fire below the carpenters' shop when the alarm was first given. He did not think the fire was occasioned by the gas, as if sueh bad been the case the flooring would have been on fire underneath, instead of the top, as was the case when the fire was first disco vered. There was a cousi el erable quantity of loose stuff lying about the carpenters' shop. Any person could enter the shop, as it was open. The gas was first fitted in the carpenters' shop to bring oat the pantomime, but it had been shut off since, and no gas had been used in the shop since Christmas. On Tuesday morning he was up in the shop with a lantern. but it was enclosed with glass, and was termed a safety lamp. By the Foreman—lf there bad been fire prnolder'ne in the carpenters' shop he thought he must have smelt it. When he entered the shop he did not eenell any. thing extraordinary about the smoke; it was just hke the ordinary smoke. James Bryanstene, sen., fireman, stated he was in the theatre the whole of the night of the fire, and never left it for a moment. Shortly. before 5 o'clock he saw fire fall from the roof of the theatre. He immediately ran to the carpenters' shop to turn the water on, but the smoke was so great that it was impossible to get to it. He got into the shop about a yard, but he. could not proceed any further. He could see a heap of wood, as much as would fill half a cart. He was not in the room when Castles gave his evidence. He could nut form any idea how the fire occurred. By a Jurjr---The wood he saw on fire was about 16 feet from the door. The bits of wood were thrown where they were in clearing the carpenters' shop. Due ing the performance the firemen go over the house to examine it. After the performance was over, it was their duty to go over the house every hour. He did not think the firs was ecca , ioned by the heat from the chandelier ; for when M. Jullien had the theatre there were 12 additional ones hung around the large one, and no accident occurred. The burners of the chande lier had not been enlarged. The heap of burning wood was about 30 feet from the opening of the chandelier. John Drake Palmer, gas-fitter—lle was employed by the proprietors as general manager of thegas-fittings of the theatre. The last time be did anything to the fitting I was to erect those that had been spoken about in the carpenters' shop. He fitted some piping from the painting room to the six benches in that shop. A va've at the back of the stage must be turned on before gal can be supplied to the painting room or carpenters' shop, and when it is required his assistants or some of his mon turn it on. The large cocks are never turned on by any but the gasmen. He bad not had the chan delier down since the middle of the last season, and then it was only to dust it. Tr ere are about SOO burners in it, but they were not all fishtail burners, and they were all in thorough repair. The witness here explained the mode in which the chandelier was fixed. The gas for the chandelier was regulated by a dial-plate in the prompt box. It the gas was tarred fail on some of the burners would not go higher than an inch and e half. The heat from it would warm the ceiling, but it would he impossible for the ceil ing to take fire from it. The chandelier was first lit at about a quarter to 12 on Monday morning, and was ee er turned off till the fire took place. It had been turned dowr, hu not put out. The burners: were lit with a long Lambe° rod, with three feet of wire at the end. The men satn r-ite 1 the cotton ball at the end of the wire with spirts of wine, They place the hall in the spirit bottle which they carry with ti e n. Time ball was always brought back of er it had been u'ed at the chandelier. At a quarter to five he was speaking to Mr. An Jerson with hie back to the green-room, and as he was gi vine. ' orders wi.ich battens were to be left burning he saw the tire through the Greeks of the shop. Mr. Andersen exclaimed, " Hush," and then he looked up and e it "Good God, the boase is on fire, get out for your lives." lie (witness) then tan to the gas regulators and eery gently turned the whole of the gas off. It was totally impossiblefor the lights or gas from the chandelier to have caused she fire. Tee draught was too great to allow any gas to remain. lie could not fursu any opinion as to the origin of the fire. By a Juror—He had known the chandelier to have been alight for a whole forteight duriog the decoraeion of the house. Mr. Henry Sloman, the rvac.thirlist and carpenter of the establishment, was last on the pr.unises about half past 11 on Tuesday night. He hail not been in the carpenters' shop since Friday last, when he went to see if it had been properly cleared up. Toe centre of the floor was quite clear. ' There was a large quantity of wood and properties at tho sides, hut not heaped about the shop. It did not not occur ti him that anything but the escape of gas caused theirs. The e scape o eg a i wee very great, so great indeed that he had frequently called the attention of the authorities, the gasmen and firemen, to the circumstance, and be had frequently said that if the escape of gas was not seen to, the theatre would be burnt down. Since tne gas had been supplied by the London Gas Company, the pressure bed keen three times as touch as it used to he. He was certain there was not seffieient wood to fill half a cart lying about the carpenters' shop. By a Juror- -Ile thought the gas must have exploded, and therefore caused the firo. There had not been a light in the carpenters' shop sMce Christmas. At this point the inquiry was adjourned until Satur day next at three o'clock.

READING, SERMONS.—NOTICE TO QUIT.—A. clergyman at Doune, in Perthshire, has given notice to his congre gr.tion that he will be under the necessity of reading his sermon in the pulpit.

Official Inquiry This Day. This afternoon, at three o'clock, Mr. Bedford, the coroner for Westminster, and a jury, assembled at the Piazza Hotel, Covent-garden, to inquire into the cir cumstances attending the total destruction of Covent garden Theatre, by fire, on the morning of Wednesday last. Amongst those present we observed—Superintendent Braid wood, of the Fire Brigade ; Mr. White, of the County Fire Office ; Superintendent Durkin and Inspec tor Dodd ; C. J. Carttar, the Coroner for West Kent ; most of the officers of the establishment, Mr. inderseu, the \Vizird, and nearly every one connected with the management of the Theatre. The preliminaries having been gone through, • The C..roner said ho did not think it was necessary the jury should be troubled with viewing the premises The present inquiry was rather unusual, it was not touching the death of any person ; but it was to Ascer tain the cause of the late destruction, by fire, of Covent garden Theatre. The churchwardens of the parish wire extremely anxious to have an inquiry in the late con flagration, and from the opportunities that bad been offered to him, he had determined to make a thorough and searching investigation. The public were entitled to have an inquiry openly and in a public room, espe• daily as the most intense interest existed in the minds of every person in the laud, from the highest down to the very lowest. The first witness called Wes James Castlen, fireman to C ,rent-garden Theatre. He was employed by Mr. Robertson, as agent to the proprietors. His duty was to attend to the general sake). of the theatre. There were four firemen engaged in the duty, each having an equal share of duty over the hole of the premises. fie was in the theatre a few inirutere after coo on Monday until after the fire took piece. The time that he supposed the fire occurred was between 4 and 5 o'clock on Wednes lay morning, ai near as he could tell. He never left the theatre during the whole time. Between 4 and 5, on the morning of the fire, he was passing up to the flies where the ma- chinery was, and returned to the stage, where it was desirable that the fireman should he, in conseepence of the number of smokers, and then entered into a eon versaoon with Mr. Brynnetont and Mr. Pa'mer, the foremen of the gas department, and asked him what " battens " or herder lights he would have left alight, imagining that the people. would go to Rork to remove the fitting. He had just spoke one word when he cold-peel his hands, and said "Oh, my God, the theatre is on fire." At that time he saw a glimmering light through the floor of the carpenters' shop. At this time no tire bed fallen. lie thee met Butler, another fireman, and told him the house was on fire, and they both rushed up t the carpentere' shop. When they got to the door a gust of black smoke struck them which ',sued from the shop. A plan of the theatre was here put in. Examination continued—The smoke milled out of the door which was open ; it was so dense that Butler called to him to go on his hands and knees to endeavour to get at the fire cock in the shop, and ho supposed that they got about midway, but be then get so giddy he was obliged to return, but not before seeing that the fire was on the left side of the shop. As soon as he got to the door he fell, but get up and ran to the fire cocks at the end of the floor which was on fire. The fire mains were charged for that place, but he was unable to find it. lie remained there until he heard some one call him. lie went to the flies and cut two or three ropes from the windlasses, thinking they wouhl stop the fire, lie there saw Mr. Lawrence and ether firemen on the stage at work at the fire-cocks. The engines were playing when he left the building. There was a rule for the firemen : it was to the effect that one of the man was to go round the building every hour. Three men were on duty at night, and one during the day. It was the duty of each to make the rounds as ordered. He had passed from the front of the theatre to the stage fre. queutly that day, and he had not smelt anything like fire or gas in tl.e carpenters' shop. He had frequently smelt gas, bat not more than might be expected from wear and tear. The fire broke out by the side of the carpenters' workshop. He did not think it could be burning elsewhere. The "flies" were connected with the carpenters' shop by a etaircr se. When he first went to the "flies" he was about twenty feet from the car penters' shop. lie thought the theatre was set on fire. The smoke was not like wood smoke, and the time that the fire broke out, when they were all engaged getting the people out, favoured the supposition. It was merely his impression that the fire had been wilfully made. There were some gas fittings in the carpenters' shop, but they had not been used since Christmas. The gas was turne I off from the pipes in question in the car penters' shop. Any person could turn the cock with a key. If the gas escaped from these pipes it would have gone up the shaft of the chandelier, which was sus pended from the roof through the carpenters' shop. The chandelier could not be taken into the shop, as it was a fixture. The shaft was an open one, and like a large funnel. The draught, for the escape of gas, was very great. The chandelier was suspended by iron g irders; which reste d horizontally on the tenber supports, which were made fast to the floor of the shop, which was the roof of the theatre. The supports could be seen by any person in the carpenters' shop. The distance from the chandelier to the floor of the carpenters' shop was between 14 and 15 feet, and about 10 or 11 from the gas when alight. He never knew the heat from the chandelier to warm the floor of the carpenters' shop. There were flues in the walls of the buildings, which formed the boundaries of the car pouters' shop, and on the night in question there were several of the flues in use. There were about seventy flues in the house, and during the whole of the time he bad been on the establishment, and that extended over some years, he never knew more than two or three to take fire. The smoke ho had mentioned in te former part of his evidence smelt like fumes of charcoa h l, not like burning wood. By Mr. Clerk--There was no charcoal used in the car penters' shop, and until the fire broke out, he never smelt anything burning. The reason he and his fellow servants were ou the stage was to prevent accidents arising from the vi-itors smoking. The carpenters' shop be felt so certain was quite secure that he did not think it requisite to visit it every hour. It was the duty of the firemen to visit every part of the theatre every hour. During the performance their duty w to look after the safety of the theat re generally. Th as ere were which would inform the proprietors whether they did their duty or not, but it was not expected that they (the firemen) should pull them every hour until the perfor mances were over. By a Juror—He was in the lobbies of the boxes dur ing the night of the bal-masque. He was within 20 or 30 feet of the place where the fire broke out, but he smelt nothing. He was perfectly sober during the who's!) of the night. By Mr. Solomon ---There hai not been any one at 9 I & d of the excellent health which the army has erjoyed fo some time past, but that no death from disease hasois: - curred during the week. I believe one or two deaths from accidents took place out of hospital ; hut for an army of this strength, 00 service the field, to hare lost no man by diease in a whole week is a remarkable circumstance ; and when it is t:+ken into consideration that only 14 men have died in three weeks, little 'need be said about the character of the diseases that have been prevalent in ca•up ; and as the ratio of ►ick to well is only 44- per cent., the sanitary condition of the errby . may fairly, I think, be pronounced satisfactory .: • -Some of the divisions of the army have er joy ed on _ nsea!!y good health of late ; for instance, the highland Division at samara has had only one death fur five weeks, out of a strength of 4,360 men. In the Third Division in camp no man has died for 23 days, out of a strength of 6,450 ; and in the Light Division no death has occurred for a Lirtnight, out of a strength of 6,460. This favourable state of things does not, I am sorry: to say, apply to the L. , nd Transport, in which there is still a considerable amount of sickness anongat -the young lads who Lave been sent out of late.
