sition, )3 1 de' _- T 1,511 on the is ex. credi. _ ~ SON Et iARKET tiND ii-TTELLIGEZTIJ rt CITY, Two o'CLock; The Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, closed firmly, but without animation. The sales amounted to 12,000 bales (1,000 for export, and 4,000 on spe culation), comprising 410 Pernam and Maran barn, 61d. to 71d. ; 50 Bahia, 6id. ; 700 Egyp tian, 6/d. to lid. ; 400 Surat, 40. to 51d. ; and 200 Sea Islands, at 10d. to 131. per lb. The Rail way Share Market yesterday closed quietly, at a slight improvement. The colonial produce markets, during the past week, have been exceedingly quiet, and the quota tions of most of the principal staples have been generally without much variation. In sugar, how ever, there has been numerous transactions, at r- , 7'lesrather in favour of buyers. Coffee has been let, but rather firmer. Tea has ruled dull at 8i t sar chest for common Congou ; and Rice has been heavy. For Spices the inquiry is limited, Rum remains quiet, and in Cocoa the dealings are con tracted. For Saltpetre and Cochineal there has been a moderate inquiry at previous rates. Tallow has been inactive. Letters from Alexandria of the 221 August an nounce that the project of establishing an Egyptian steam packet service on the Red Sea has been ulti mately decided upon ; but that the Viceroy, in taking this initiative, does not intend that it shall constitute a privilege. He has given orders to pur chase three French packet boats, to commence at once ; but this number is insufficient for the ex tensive shores which are open to traffic ; can sequently the Egyptian Government will shortly increase their materiel of navigation, or accept some auxiliaries from European companies. At the same time the honour lies with him of having opened the way of giving a new impulse to the commerce of his country. Accounts fro :n Berlin of the 2d inst. state that the Commercial Committee of the Germanic Diet had demanded of the Prussian Government to give Some assistance to the preparatory labours of the new code of commerce proposed for all Germany, and to point out with clearness in each instance Where these preparatory labours are not finished before the month of November next, the Diet having resolved to take it in hand themselves. No reply has yet been given to this demand. The Russian Government are at present seriously ex amining the question of revising their customs' tariff, and all negotiations on the subject with foreign countries have been postponed until the result is known. Advices from Marseilles, to the 2d September, announce the continued arrival of vessels laden With grain at that port, which has lowered the price of wheat and maize considerably, and it is feared that the market will be soon glutted. On th e previous day upwards of 150,000 hectolitres of grain entered the port ; while the arrivals for the Month of August amounted to 1,100,000 hec tolitres. Various state nents are current with regard to the affairs of the Royal British Bank ; but until the extent of the liabilities and assets is fully as certained no reliable information can be obtained. The shareholders' meeting—of which, according to the charter, there must be 14 days' notice—is fixed for the 20th inst., when the position of the bank 'ill be fully explained, and measures taken for its dissolution, as there is not the remotest chance of business being resumed. It is said that the share holders will be heavy losers, as a large proportion of the unpaid 501. per share must be called up, so as to enable the directors to liquidate the claims of the depositors and others in full. The 4th of the month passed off without serious embarrassment; but it is nevertheless admitted that a larger amount of bills than usual was re turned. The Money Market is now rather easier, but full rates are still current. The National Bank of Belgium has raised the rate of discount to 3 per cent. Hitherto it had bee n 2i per cent ; but the absorption of cash to Provide the capital of the Credit Mobilier, recently established in Brussels, and other circumstances, have caused a scarcity, and a consequent enhance kent in the value of money. _ Although no quotable cliange has taken place in the value of the Funds there is an improved feel ing among the operators, and a slight extension of business has resulted. Consols have been 941 to 95 for money, 94i to 95 for the 10th inst., and 9 51 7, for October. The new 3 per Cents. are 95i tile Reduced 95i and the Thirty Years' Annui ties 18 9-16.

This morning Mr. W. J. Payne, deputy-coroner for the City of London, opened an inquiry at S. Bartholo mew's Hospital, relative to the melancholy and lament able deaths of Thomas Palmer, and Eizabeth Pullen, Tiloroas Pullen, and James Pullen, his step-children, occasioned by the fall of the house No. D, Little Swan alley, Moorgate-street, on the morning of Wednesday last. Previous to the jury assembling at the hospital, they met the coroner in Little Swan-alley, and examined the Mr. W. Jones, ward clerk of Coleman-street Ward, in which district the house was situated, attended and watched the proceedings accompanied by several of the members of the Common Council, Commissioners of Sswers, and vestrymen of St. Stephen's parish. Mr. Woodthorpe, the district surveyor, was present with plans of the premises. The jury was a highly respectable one, comprising the principal tradesmen of the parish in which the dreadful calamity occurred. Mr. Perkins, of Cole man-street, a member of the Common Council, was appointed foreman. ', to leave or make any complaint of the state of the house. (Sarah Parry, who formerly occupied rooms in the house, deposel--"i h tt about three years ago she noticed the dlls.pirlaterl stsie of the premises. The plaster from the ceili3g n : ' the window, and the bricks from the fire place beg so first to fall. She was a tenant to Mrs. Marsh, and 0., complaining to her she had it repaired. About the same time one of the steps of the stairs gave way from decay. The summer before last while white washing the room some of the plaster fell down, and she could see through. She was sister to Mrs. Pallen, and her mother occupied the house for a long time. From her observations she was satisfied the house was in a very bad state. Mr. Horton, Mr. lieddington, and others called some months since and looked at the exteriors of the houses. They said they wished the houses were all down, and asked the occupants why they did not leave. They said the parish wished to have the houses down. Mr. Reddington did not go into the house because he was afraid to go over the stairs. Mr. E. Woodthorpe, district surveyor, deposed that he knew the premises in question and produced plans he I had made of them. About 18 months ago, when he was condemning houses in Sun-court, adjoining Little Swan alley, he found from observation, before his notice had been called to it, the property in a dilapidated etate. He condemned the "property in Sun-court I under the old building act, which vested these po w e r s in the Court of Aldermen ; those houses were pulled down. At that time he examined the exterior walls of the building in question. He had no power to enter the premises and survey them. He had to take care that no danger was likely to occur from old buildings to pas sengers and the adjoining property. By the new act the occupiers of houses were pro ected as much es passen gers, &c. Under the old act, and on a certain process being gone through, he bad power to survey—without it he could not enter premises for that purpose ; the In spector of Pavements gave him notice of any houses being dangerous, and on receiving it he applied to the Court of Sewers for authority to act. He was not aware if Little Swan-alley was in the dis trict of the Inspector of Pavements. If he saw danger he should move in the matter without notice ; and report to the Commissioners of Sewers. There was nothing definite in the act to compel sur veyors to walk round their districts like policemen, and examine the dwellings, but it was the spirit of the act. He had condemned a whole street on his own observa tion, and without his attention having been called to it. The removal of the houses in Sun-court had not affected the stability of the house in Little S man-alley. These houses were from 150 to 200 years old. The wood work was all worm eaten. He had examined the premises since the accident. In his judgment the interior of the house fell bodily from decay of the ends of the rafters and wood work generally being worm-eaten, and, falling in this manner, the outer walls were forced over a shed into an adjoining court. [We will give the conclusion in our last edition.] MA2KL'T NEWS.—(This Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. Coastwize, 4,460 quarters of English wheat have come fresh to hand this week. By land carriage, to-day, the re. ceipts were limited, and the show of samples of both red and white was small. For all kinds we had a dull sale, at prices barely equal to those realised on Monday. The imports of foreign wheat are only 5,570 quarters. The amount of business transacted in that grain wa■ trifling, at the late decline. There was a steady sale for barley, at extreme quotations. There was a moderate demand for malt, on former terms. The oat trade was steady, and fine oats were rather dearer than on Monday. Beans and peas were steady, but flour was very dull. Over 30,000 barrels of the latter have arrived from th• United States. ARRIVALS THIS WEER. Wheat. Barley. Malt. English .. 4,460 110 2,900 Irish .. . Foreign 1 5,570 I 2,190 i Oats.

The arnAxed is from the Committee of Mexican Bondholders : " Deferred Mexican Bonds.—The following is a transla tion of the letter of WE. the Minister of Finance, dated Mexico, the 18th of July last, to the financial agent of Mexico in London, Colonel Facio : " Ministry of Finance and Public Credit, - Second Section, No. 187. " I have, under this day's date, sent to the representa tive of the old house of Lizerdi and Co., Mr. Pedro del Valle, your note of the 18th of March, on the difference which there is between receiving deferred bonds on which thole is a claim for arrears of interest and active bonds of the last issue, at the rate of 60 active for lea deferred, to which I have added what follows : " In communicating to you, by direction of the presi dent, this note, I beg to add that the authorisation to deli ver active bonds of those now current, at the rate of 60 ac tive for 100 deferred, was given solely because you stated that a clerk of the house had abstracted a considerable number of deferred bonds, and was meant only to apply to the deferred bonds, which, thus circumstanced, might not appear in the market, and not all to deferred bonds in the hands of innocent holders, which necessarilymust be given up in order to be c a n ce ll e d. " "The intent of the agreement with you was that Go vernment should receive back all the bonds issued in excess, without having to pay a single dollar, which can only be effected by your either deliverinc , deferred bonds, or if active bonds at 60 for 100, the difference of value between the two arising from the arrears of interest overdue on the former. " His Excellency the president has no doubt that yon will admit that such was the intent and meaning of the agreement with you, and that you will have proceeded on this understanding of it • but in of der to obviate the pos sibility of all misunderstanding on this point, his Excel lency has directed this note to be addressed to you, and that the same be communicated to the financial agent in London, in reply to his note and for his Government." A'fred Latham, Esq., is the gentleman recommended by the Court of Directors of the Bank of England to fill the vacancy in the direction occasioned by the decease of Henry James Prescott, THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. —The Govern meat authorities have adopted the views pres:ed upon their notice by Lord Lyndhurst as to the employment of the solution for stopping the incipient decay of the stone used at the New Houses of Parliament, and pre venting, future decay, to the efficiency of which Sir C Barry had certified, no time has been lost in bringing it into operation. Workmen are already employed on 111 J walls in other parts of the building besides the 1,400 yards on which it was originally tested, so that the who!e edifice will be rendered impervious to atmospheric Mil cue and the deatruotive properties of damp, ROBBERY OF A CASH-BOX WITH THREE HUNDRED POUNDS.—John Walsh was brought up for re-examina tion, charged with being concerned in stealing a cash- box containing near three hundred sovereigns and a ten pound Bank of England note, the property of Charlotte Thaike. The prosecutrix is in business with her son as light erman, in Tooley-street. About a fortnight age, during her absence, one of her sons, a /ad about fifteen, took Ler cash-box from her bedroom and brought it down to show Walsh. The latter snatched it from him and ran off. Information was given to the police and Walsh was apprehended. The empty cash-box was found by a little girl the following morning in Kennington•lane. The evidence mostly rested on young Maike, whom his wcrehip could not put much faith in, but the prisoner was remanded for another week. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, SEPT. 4. There is but little charge in the market since Tues day, all the favourable features remaining, and buyers showing an increased disposition to operate, though the amount of business doing in cloths is limited. In grey, red, and shirtings there is some demand, and prices were rather firmer. There is rather more business .in some kinds of grey domestics, but pries were unchanged. In jac.mets and India shirtings generally the demand is limited. T-cloths in a little better inquiry. Yarns con tinue to command the id. per lb. advance obtained at the commencement of the week, and in some kinds there is a tendency to a further advance. NOTTINGHAM SEPT. 4. The lace trade is iii a healthy state ; a number of shipping orders are in course of completion, both for the continent and other part, ; cotton quillings continue in demand, and there is a fair amount of business doing in other sorts of goods for the season. The very favourable barveet weather imparts a buoyancy to trade, and, should the corn be well got in of which there is now every ap pearance), our trade will be greatly kflueuced thereby. Iu hosiery the amount of business doing is satisfa•:tory. The cotton branch is bilsk. For winter goods there is a good demand in connection with our home trade, as well as that of the United States. BRADFORD, Sm. 4. The market this morning opened with a decidedly improved tone, partly attributable to the large attend ance, but principally to the fine weather and favourable change that has taken place in harvest prospects, by which no market is more materially affected than that of Bradford, and throughout the day an impetus waq given to business. The staplers di mended for the finer, and in same cases, the middling qualities of comb ing wool an advance of a per lb. This, in the early part of the day, caused a temporary re , trietion, but in the traj,,rity of sales it had to be conceded, and a toler ably fair business was;transacted in the azgregate. There is a large supply of long staple wool at market; but of short wools and noiis the stocks are limited, and the inquiry continued steady. yarns there was a satisfactory, we might almost say brisk, business done ; although an improvement has been gradually perceptible, orders were more freely given out than for some time Fait, especially fel- export to the continent, the Russian houses displaying the most acti vity ; the struggle experienced by the spinners was to obtain an advance ou production commensurate with that demanded for the raw material. Cotton warps evinced the effect of the r ise in the Manchester cotton market, and were generally higher in price. The piece trade also partook of the general improve ment, and the merchants purchased more favourably of seasonable goods fur the home trade. The business done in the warehouses has been moderately extensive. The foreign houses, as regards manufactured goods, appear comparatively quiet. Mr. George Peabody, the American banker and mer chant, sailed on Wednesday for the United States, in the steamer Atlantic, from Liverpool. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday last an inquest was held at Exton, before Mr. H. Hough, coroner for the county of Rutland, upon the body of Etvd. Cunnington, coachman to the Mr. R. W. Baker, of Cot smore, ant to the Earl of Gainsborough. It appeared that Mr. Baker had been dining with the Earl of Gainsborougb, and had ordered his dogcart to be at. the door at half past 10 o'clock to take him home. At about a quarter to 11 o'clock the Rev. William Gibson left the house, and noticed the horse and cart standing at the door. Mr. Baker left the house a few minutes later, but the dogcart could not then be seen. Lights were procured, and a search made, and after some time a hat and the seat and cushion of a dogcart were found floating in a piece of water in the pleasure grounds, about 100 yards from the house, and about 30 yards from the nad lead ing to Cott smore. Assistance was at once procured, the water let off, a boat was manned, and a long rake, with iron teeth, etuployed to drag the bitten). In about half as hour the horse mid cart were found, and dragged a.bore ; but it was half past 2 o'clock in the morning before the body of the coachman could be discovered ; wi,en, of course, life had been long extinct. The i,ody was removed to the Fox and Hounds inn at Exton, and the verdict of the coroner's jury was "Accidental death." The evidence of one witness went to show that the coachman, on leaving the I:44'arl of Gainsbornugh's stables, was not strictly sober, and the track of the horse aid wheels from the door, across the lawn, and up to the point where the final plunge took place, shows that the horse must have turned round and round half•a dozen times, and have gone backwards almost as much as he went forward. The deceased bad lived with Mr. Baker 26 years as coachman. This appalling event has created a very painful feelicg in the neighbourhood. The jury having viewed the bodies (that of Elizabeth Pullen having been removed from St. Stephen's dead house to the dead-house of the hospital), considerable delay occurred in commencing the inquiry from the want of accommodation for the jury, and the proceedings had to be conducted without tables for the jury to write on and take notes of the evidence. The jury having been sworn, The Coroner said that, as the inquiry was one of con siderable importance, he proposed first to take evidence identifying the bodies, then medical evidence as to the nature of the injuries from which the deceased persons died of, and then such evidence as would show how and why the building in question fell, and ascertain thereby if any blame attached to any person. Elizabeth Pullen deposed that she lived with Palmer, the deceased, who was a labourer, about 31 years of age, at No. 9, Little Swan-alley. The three children now dead were hers, and resided with her and Palmer in Little Swan-alley, at the time of the accident. She had resided in the house on two occasions. She had been back the last time about three or four months, and occupied the first floor back. The front room of the first floor was occupied by other persons. The Kings occupied a room above. About four months ago she lived in the room of a Mrs. Marsh, at 2e. a-week, end continued her tenant till about six weeks since, when Mr. Crane became the landlord of the premises, and she had since that paid the rent to him. She had complained to Mrs. Marsh of the state of the house. There was only one room on the ground floor ; the floor of the room underneath that she occupied had been taken away. Last Saturday night week she com plained to Mr. Crane, when she paid him her rent, of the state of the floor, and pointed out the broken state of the flooring near the fire place. The wood was much decayed. As he stood at the door he looked at the place, and said be would look to it. He did not call again until Sunday last, when he came for his rent. On Sunday last she paid him again her rent, but nothing had occurred then to excite her alarm. In the course of the evening she fancied she heard a cracking noise, and noticed it to Mrs. King and deceased, Palmer, and said she should soon get out of the house. By the Foreman—Mrs. King said at the time that she had heard strange sounds, and that they had better get out as soon as possible. Witness continued—About nine o'clock on Tuesday night she heard a cracking noise near the fire place. It appeared to be in the same place she had heard it before. She and deceased, Palmer, had not then retired. All the family slept in the same room, but in different beds. The children slept in a bed under the place where she heard the noise. Her self, Palmer, and the baby slept in one bed, and the three children new dead in the other. About 10 o'clock they retired to rest, and about 5 minutes past 12 she was awoke by her child. She got out of bed to give him something, and walked the room with him for a short time. She then heard a fearful cracking again. Her hushing the child did not shake the room. The room began to shake very much, and she awoke Palmer and desired him to get up, as the house was falling. He got up and went to the children, and she opened her room door and alarmed the other inmates (the Kings, who were over her head). Whilst standing on the top stain outside her room door, one half of the floor of the room gave way, the window fell, and was smashed ail to pieces, as was also the fire• place ; hearing the crash she tried to run down stairs, and the shaking of the house threw down the stairs, and she and her baby were thrown into the street ; but how it happened she had no recollection. She had made no complaints to the ward beadle or any other person. She had not seen any of them round that neighbourhood. She believed her mother, who lived in the house before her, had complained of the state of the house to a lady who visited the neighbourhood to distri bute charity amongst the poor occupants of the neigh bourhood. Crane accepted her as a tenant from Mrs Marsh, about 6 or 7 weeks ago. By the Jury—Last week she experienced difficulty is doting the door, but it did not create alarm in her mind as to the state of the house. By the Foreman—Her other son, who was about 15 years of age, had not returned from his work when the accident occurred. She saw him in the court shortly after the house fell. She did not know where Crane lived, She believed in Charles-place, Bell-alley. The boards in front of the fire-place were all broken away and decayed. There were no nails in them, and after sweeping the floor she had frequently to put the boards in order the best way she could. James Frederick King deposed that he was a book binder. lie occupied the top floor back, over that of the last witness. The other room on that floor was unoccupied. He had lived i❑ No. 9 about seven months, always occupying tho same room. During that time he had complained of the state of the house. A. week before the house fell ho complained to Crane of the dila pidated state of the house, particularly the state of the window of the room ; it had a frame, but most of the glass was broken. On complaining of it to Crane, he said they might put in the glass themselves if they wanted it. He paid Crane is. 6.1. pe r week rent. When he took the room of Mrs. Marsh the glass was then broken, but being unable to buy glees he patched it up the best way he could. The fl )or of his room was " thorough!y rotten and eaten away." He showed it to Crane, who said, "Oh, you must make the Lest of it." On Sunday morning. last Crane called for the rant. He was unable to pay him, and again coin • plained of the state of the house, to which Crane replied " If you don't pay you know the consequences," and he then left. On Tuesday night he was engaged preparing his work for the following day. About ten minutes to 12 he and his wife retired to rest ; a few minutes after he was aroused by a Bound, and he said " Hark, ho w its hailing." His wife said it waano such thing for the stars were shining. He and his wife, and his wife's sister and four children slept on the floor, having no beds ; shortly after hearing the sound he found himself below ; the floors appeared to have "fallen in all of a lump together ;" there was only a shop on the ground floor ; the cellars went down a few steps ; he did not think any of the ground floor had been cut away ; he had never complained of the state of the house to any one but Crane ; he believed the house had not been examined by any one ; he had never seen a surveyor there ; Crane, the landlord, lives at 19, Little Bell-alley ; he is a mes senger in some office in the City. Mrs. King, who walked home, and appeared to be suffering from the injuries received on Tuesday night, deposed that about three months ago a person inspected the house, and ordered the rooms to be whitewashed. He inquired who was the landlord, and said the house appeared in a very bad state. From the manner in which the person alluded to came, she thought he must have come from the Board of Health. She bad long noticed the dilapidated state of the house. Pieces of mortar used to fall from the ceiling. On Friday night she and her sister awoke by a sound like the "unloading of a cart-load of bricks." The noire appeared to pro ceed from between the two houses. She got up and procured a light, but could not see that anything had fallen. She did not mention it to any one the following day, because. Mr. Crane was very hard upon them, and she thought if she did he would think it was done to get out of the place. On Sun day Seibert, who occupied the room adjoining Palmer's, was hammering all day, putting a lock on to his door. Mrs. Palmer said, " I don't think any of us will want locks or bolts long for I don't think the house will stand long." Witness then corroborated her husband's evi dence with regard to the noise on Tuesday right. She got up with her baby, and saw in the fire-place a light which came from below, and she said to her husband she thought the house was on fire, and whilst saying that she fell through the floor. She saw the crack the side of the room nearest No. 8, from whence the noise appeared to come. Mr. Reynolds and Mr. Cox looked at the house in the spring of the year, but she did not know their object. By the Forereag-04 Friday night she and her Dieter LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day). COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Mr. Commissioner Fane was the sitting Commissioner, but thcre was.no case of the slightest interest. THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK. No proceedings were taken in this caee to-day, SHERIFFS' COURT. YEATES V. LEWIS. I3IPOIITANT QUESTION AS TO LIABILITY OF INDORSEES 07 CHEQUES ON BANKERS. This was an action brought to rec3ver the sum of 5/. from the indorses of a banker's cheque. It appeared from the evidence adduced that on the 231 July last a person named Simpson went to the office of a Mr. Philpott, in Bell alley, City, and asked him to cash a cheque for 51. The cheque was dated the 28th, and Philpott agreed to do so, on being allowed ten shillings as discount, which was done, but on the 28th - another application was made for three days further time, which was granted. Eventually, however, the cheque was presented at the bankers, a n d the answer was "No effects." When the cheque was discounted, Philpots refused to do it unless it was en. dorsed by the defendant. The cheque was subsequently passed to plaintiff, who not knowing Simpson, the drawers sued defendant on the indorsee. Mr. Davies contended that there was no delivery to the plaintiff by defendant, with the intention of vesting the property in him. 4 Samuel v. Green, 16 L. J. His Honour, however, held that it was an affair be tween the parties that the defendant should pay the am )unt 'of the cheque, and take his remedy agiinst Phdpot, who had obtained the cash from plaintiff, who was the innocent holder, and only discounted the cheque on the faith of defendant's indorsement. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. PICKING POCKETS IN AN OMNIBUS.—MrB. mould, the wife of a large omnibus proprietor, and stated to be a lady of large personal property, surrendered to her recognisances upon a charge of picking pockets in an omnibus. The court and its vicinity was densely crowded by the friends of the accused. Mr. Bingham, in givirg judgment, said—l do not see any evidence here for a iary. The prisoner, on being accused, gave her proper address, and turns out to be the wife of an opulent tradesman. In the omnibus, about the time that the alleged offence took place, was a person with loose sleeves, and, no doubt, loose character. (Laughter). This man suddenly left the omnibus, and I have no doubt that he was the person who took the purse. Mrs. Would, who was deeply affected, was at once discharged: and received the warm congratulations of her friends. SOUTHWARK. IMPUDENT WATCH ROBBERY. Thos.
