MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAI.) i MINES.-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'Ciocs.

The funds to-day are well sustained at the
im-
provement which took place yesterday afternoon.
In the other markets there is a great lack of busi-

nee, but prices generally are firm, notwithstand-
ing a sullen autl unexplained fall on the Paris

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Ren-
ter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Ratites opened
at 70fr. 35c., and improved to 70fr. 45c., being
sc. better than yesterday, and " firm and iu great
demand." Subsequently, however, a sudden de-
cline took place to 69fr. 95c. and the Rentes are de-
scribed as " much offered." The fall since yester-
day is about 4 per cent.
The scrip of the Moorish Loan remains firm, at
51 to 6 prem.

At a meeting to-day of the creditors of Mr. F.
Meyer, oil merchant, Are. (trading as Charles Ogleby
and Co.), a resolution was passed appointing a com-
mittee of creditors to examine into the position
of the estate, and to report to a future
meeting. The liabilities are 53,2441., and the as-
sets 58,4431. net, showing a surplus of 5,1991.
The prospect of some supply of English Three
per Cent. Stock coming upon the market for ac-
count of the savings banks in the manufacturing
districts has latterly excited discussion. The idea
must not be dismissed as improbable; for, although
the operatives in the cotton trade have always been
noted for living from hand to mouth, and, as a
rule, do not lay by savings, this is not the case
with the shopkeepers, and the numerous other
trades which subsist by the operatives. All of
these suffer at present from a common adversity.
The withdrawals of gold from the Bank for the
Continent, to pay for silver, continue ; the amount
yesterday was 40,0001. in French coin. The 62,5001.
ley the Niagara, from Boston, consisted almost en-
tirely of sovereigns, which have been sent into the
Bank.
The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were
steadier than for some time past, owing partly,
perhaps, to the fall in the value of money on the
Continent. The rates for bills on Hamburg, how-
ever, were again quoted rather lower. Subjoinedis
our usual list:
Amsterdam, 3 months, 11.17 j to 1 ; ditto, 3 days,
11.15 to / ; Rotterdam. 3 month', ILI7I to ;

days, 52 to 1 ; Oporto. 90 days, 52 to 3.
The Liverpool cotton market continues very in-
active. The sales yesterday were only 4,000 bales.
The advices received from New York with regard
to the affairs of Venezuela appear to be as un-
trustworthy as usual. They affirmed a day or two
ago that Paez was "still in power," but that the
ex-President Mouagas was in possession of two or
throe towns, whereas the much more reliable
accounts received direct from Venezuela describe
Monagaa as quite impotent to make any progress iu
opposition to the existing administration, which
continues to increase in strength.
The stoppage is announced of Messrs. G. J. Cal-
vert and Co., railway iroufounders, of York. The
liabilities are uuderstood to be a little over 100,0001.
The firm have some large railway contracts, in-
cluding some for the supply of the West Loudon
Extension Railway and for the ironwork of the
bridge above Chelsea. The accountants employed
are Mount. Cooper Brothers and Co. Annexed

THI FATAL POACHING ATTHAT IN CCNINITC•
LAND.-A farmer resoling at lirecklewath, named M ilb urn, ! '
was apprehended on Friday, and when taken lefore .
magietnite he made a voluntary statement in which be
identified the three blacksmiths already In
cuetody as the
men who had been poaching. He stated that these three
men had been netting the river, on Tumday eight. before
the watchers got there. They then got two fish which
they took away with them ; and they arranged that they
would come again at en early hour next morning and
catch some Ash for Milburn. Hilburn, therefote, pre-
pared too seta and poles, whit% were kept at his house,
and when the three blacksmiths came on Wednesday
morning lie went out to see tribe watchers were on the look-
out. Believing the comet to be cleer, he went with the
other three men to the river side. "Old fob" Robinson
Mend the river with the net, and Hilburn then returned
to his fold. In about five minutes he states he heard shouts
proceeding front the direction of the island. He concluded
that there was an encounter between the poachers and the
watchers, but he did sot go to the plea. 80011 after this
the three men—Robineon, father and son, and Earl—came '
up to the farmyard and told him what had occurred, eayiag
they believed they had killed "Ned" (Atkinson). Pei.
sently be saw the policeman (Cowman) and the watcher
Bowman coming from the isLuid. The prisoner Milburn
WWI remanded till Thursday, on which day the other pri-
maws will be brought up.

EXPLOSION Or • KITCHILI BOILER THEOPIRR
FROST.—A CHILD KILLED.—On Sunday eveni2. MS of
those dangerous. and often fatal, explosions kitchen
boilers, which were of such frequent occurrence dam.*
the frost of recent years, happened in Bury New-road.
A police officer belonging to the B divisioe was pausing
Britannia-buildings about half-past 7 o'clock, when he
heard • loud spat coming from the house occupied
by Mr. James Henry Taylor. On entering the house, he
found that the report bad proceeded from the explosion
of the kitchen boiler. The grate and the burning coal bad
been thrown fate the middle of the room, unhappily strik-
lug. and almost completely covering Maria Jane Taylor,
a girl, about seven years of ago, who was sitting before the
treat the time of the explosion, and who was the only
occupant of the kitchen. The first care of those who
entered w.is directed to the unoortunate child, who wee
dreadfully scalded by the steam, and burned by the
heated grate and the burning ashes. She was removed
in a cub to the Royal Infirmary, where she bas since tried
from the frightful injuries she received. The brickwork
on both sides of the stove was removed for more Theo
a foot, and the chiumcypiece was thrown down. ne
force of the explosion is further indicated by the feet,
that the fireplace in the kitchen of the adjoining hoops.
occupied by Mr. Samuel Hill, was also forced oat, and au-
dderahle damage was also done there. In both houses se-
veral windows were broken. The cause of the accidents
supposed to have been the stoppage of the supply of cold
water by the frost, and the consequent undue generation of

A DATORTER ATTEMPTING TO POISON RER Murath.
—At the Town Hall, Torquay, on Monday, • girt named
Caroline lliomore, aged 14 you, was charged with barb(
attempted to poison her mother by putties a quantity it
sugar of lead in her tea. From the evidence of the mother
it appeared that she resided in Swan-street, Torquay. Oa
Saturday evening last. "between the lights, her daughter
asked her if she would drink a cup of tea, while she went out
with some clothes. She took up the cup and was proceed no tie
drink it, when she found that it was not tea, and moreover
had a very peculiar taste. During the afternoon she bad
threatened the girl that if she found out something which she
had told her to be au untruth, she would beat her. In a
cupboard she had a bottle, which contained a quantity of
sugar of lead, sod upon aubeequeut examination she &ro-
osted that • portion of it had been removed. Being rather
auspicious, she took the cup with its contents first to Mn.
Bishop, and then to Mrs. Norman. It was afterwards
submitted to Mr. Moggridge, chemist, for analysis. Ha
fannd that the liquid wee impregnated with sugar of lead,
which, uis wall known, is deadly poison. Whea the
prisoner was taken Into custody, she said that if her mother
chose to keep such messes in the cupboard it served
her right. Under each circumstances, the prisoner wee
committed for trial at the next assizes upon the charge el
attempting to poison her mother.
