COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.
RK.LA.NE.--(THIS DAY.)
Fresh up to-day the snivels of English wheat were very
limited. Although the show of samples was small, the
demand for all kinds ruled heavy, at le. to 2e. per quarter
below last week's prices. The condition of the supply
was remarkably good.
With foreign wheat we were fairly supplied. Holders
generally refused to sell except at full quotations. Millers
however, purchased slowly, on former term.
Floating cargoes of gain wen a dull inquiry, at barely late
currencies.
The supply of barley was moderately good. Fine sam-
ples commanded previous rates. Grinding and distilling
sorts were • slow side, but not cheaper.
Malt, the show of which was good, changed hands slowly,
on former terms.
The demand for oats was moderate. In prices no change
took place.
Beans were quite as dear as on Monday, with a steady
. e inquiry.ew peas on the stands were taken at extreme Fetes.
Both English and foreign dour was steady in price, but
the trade was far from active.
The seed market was steady, but new winter tare were
offering at 9a. 6d. to 10s. per bombe!. Linseed and linseed
cakes were inactive.

THE LEGER FAVOURITES.—Langton Wok! OD
Sunday was visited by crowds of people all desirous of +U-
neasier ►he performances of the two Leger favourites,
General Peel and Blair Athol, The Wold presented the
appearance of • grand fair, and the immense number of
visitors wens gratified by • sight of both homes taking
three gallops each. This being their last appearance before
going to Donoester next day, the " going was a matter
to which very considerable attention was paid. Never
previously was the Wold known to be so busy on the eve
of • great race. The hones both left Melton on Monday.
THE FORTHCOMINd GREAT PRIZE FlGHT.—Yes-
tends! there was a great gathering of patrons of the prize

20 mdse of Dublin. At present the betting is not rev
brisk, but odds are given in favour of Mace.—Times.
ANOTHER FATAL Grx ACCIDENT. —An affair
occurred at Shnrdington, near Worcester. on Sunday, which
has thrown a gloom over the whole parish. It appears that
between two and three o'clock in the afternoon. Thomas
Radler, aged sixties, son of • farmer living at Greenway
Farm, was upstairs °meaning with his mother and
brother. Shortly afterwards he went down stairs and
took down • gun which was hanging in the kitchen,
I and also took some powder and shot from •
writhig-deek. In about five minutes afterwards the report
of • gun was beard, and a younger brother, Albert, who
had been walking over the farm and bad heard the report,
found the deceased lying on his back in the garden. The
goo was lying acmes his legs, and bls clothes were on fire.
Albert immediately communicated with his mother, and
she, with the assistance of Joseph Hawkes, a labourer on
the farm, as once proceeded to the spot, and were horrified
to fled be was deed. Mr. Cottle was sent for, but of course
no medical attention was of any service. It is not known
how the stair happeose.—Birsaireohan Gazette.
ANOTHER DEATH MOH CRINOLINE.—Hannah.
Campbell, eleven years of age, the daughter of • wire
worker, Spittall-street, Oldham-rood, recently west to •
neighbour's boom to nurse • friend. On Monday
morning the girl who bad slept on • sofa downstairs.
was heard to somas by the husband of the person
she was nursing. He went to the stairhead, and met her
running frantically up with all her clothes on fire. He
took hold of her to try to extinguish the flame, bat the
clothes were so much burnt that they gave way when he
touched them, and both he and the unfortunate girl rolled
to the bottom together. He, however, speedily got a
blanket and threw it round her, and cot off her stave. She
was take° to the infirmary and died the same night. The
coroner's inquert, ireiy, disclosed the fact that the de.
awed's muslin dress, extended by crinoline, ignited from

FATAL ACCIDENTH AT HASTINGS.—No less than
four accidents attended with lose of, life have occurred sear
Hastings within a few days—quite • remarkable circum-
stance in view of the orderly character of the town and die.
ti:ct. On Tuesday evening the borough coroner (R.
Grows*, Esq.) held an inquest at the infirmary, on view of
the body of Mr. William Coleman, a druggist carrying on
business in Brompton.road. Mr. and Mrs. Coleman had
come to St. Leonard's to spend the day, and on re-
turning from a *Olio( trip they wen crossing the roadway
in the centre of Eversfield-place, when they were violently
knocked down by a runaway bone. Mr. Coleman had his
collar-bone fractured and also the base of the skull.
He was removed to the East Sussex Infirmary, but died in
about an hour after admission. Mrs. Coleman had
her leg metered, arid she is obliged to remain
in the building. The horse was being ridden by •
foung gentleman named Edgeeumbe, who was much hurt in
alling from the horse. Another death occurred on the
previous day from over-excitement. Mr. Charles Smith,
timber merchant, of Westminster-bridge-road, came to
Hastings on Sunday to pay • flying visit to friends. On
the journey down the train met with as acci-
dent, musing considerable delay. The circumstance
greatly alarmed Mr. Smith, and, combined with his
over-anxiety to get back to London, so as to transact some
important business on Monday morning, Mwrought himself
into • state of excitement. An apoplectic fit fowed, aid
resulted fatally in the course of the night. List week, off
Bexhill, three men were drowned through Tutoring to use
is an open boat on a dark tempestuous night ; and just pre-
vioully • young gentleman broke his neck by an incautious
plunge whilst bathing.
DUNSE.—EITHAORDINARY CASE OF POLYGAMY.
—On Monday last • man, aged about 30, named Richard
Money, a colper by trade, was apprehended on • charge of
bigamy. An unusual feature in such a case is the circum-
stance that the accused bas been previously convicted of
bigamy. 1n 1855 he was married to a woman in Perth ; in
1857, while( abe was still slice, he was married to another
woman io Leith ; and for this act of bigamy he was tried
before the High Courtof Justiciary and sentenced to two
years' imprisonment. He is now charged with having in
the year 1660 been married in the Border fashion at Lam-
berton Toll, in Berwickshire, his lawful wife being still
alive. He was examined and committed to gaol The
police had been on the look-out for the incorrigible poly•
'moist for nearly three years, but never meld gee hold of
him until now, when he was captured at Amble, in North-
umberland—Edinburgh Evening Courant.
BAD RESULTS OF THE WHALE FISHING.-0/1
Tuesday, the Ls. Polynia (Captain Orwell!) arrived at
Dundee from the whale fishing. The Polynia comes horn,
clean, after an absence of about five months. She reached the
fishing ground in May, and continued to shift from one plane
to another up till two or three weeks ago, whoa @be cleared
the ire. During the whole time one whale only was sighted,
sad mome very bad weather was experienced. Captain Cravat
reports having seen the Active, of Peterhead, which
had no whales, but the oil of 657 seals. The Sir Cohn Camp-
bell of Peterhead was also spoken by the Polynia, and had
at that time ore whale and about 300 seals, which would
yield about 15 or 24) tuns of oil. The mow of the Polynia
caught twenty two brown bears, some of which were of oat-
orderable Liu. Two have been brought horns alive, and the
others have been preserved for their hides. Captain Gravill
states that be scarcely ever saw worse weather, mad never
daring the many years he has gene to the whale fishing did
he move about io much, and meet with so little socoesa.—
Dundee Advertiser.

MCRDER OF AN ENGLISHMAN AND SIR SERVANT
TI! PElLSlA.—Letters have been received at Marsden, neer
Huddersfield, from Mr. Edward Laogfield, of St. Paten-
burg, giving an amount of the murder of his brother, Mr.
Benjamin Langfield, and his man-servant, in Persia. It
appears that Mr. Benjamin Lang6eld and hie man were re-
turning from a port on the Caspien Sea to their home at
Sherat. They bad to travel across • very monotaisous
country, and though the tbstence was not extraordinarily
grist, yet, on account of its difficult character, it took four
days to accomplish the journey. The journey, especially one.
tiguous to the seacoast, is very perilous, so that the travel-
ling takes place in the day time only. The men front whom
the horses nearer, for cooveyance are engaged accompany
the travellers, and did so in this instance t and on the 16th of
July, while Mr. Leordield and his man were asleep for the
night, unsuspicious of danger, their drivers murdered them
in cold blood, and then robbed them. Mr. Langtield is
believed to have had a considerable sum of money upon
him, and plunder, no doubt. was the object of the murder-
ers. It appears that the crime was soon discovered, and at
the time the information was sent off to Eoglood active
measures were io progress to discover and capture the mur-
derers. It was believed the English consul at Teheran had
started to investigate the foul crime. The Russian cooed
at that city was a friend of Mr. Langdeld's, and as the man
semsnt was a Russian subject, there is every reams to sup-
pose he would us every endeavour to discover the mar-
denim The deceased has also another brother, Mr. Abra-
ham leogileld, then at Astrsklien, and he and Mr. Edward
Larigfield (who sends particulars of the murder) were in
communication with each other, and using all possible
mesas to insure the capture of the murderers. The mur-
der, it is believed, occurred within the dominions of the
Shah of Persia, and it is dated that there is • law that, so
far as personality b coecareed,when persons are plundered,
the amount is levied upon the district as an inducement to
check robbery. It need scarcely be stated that the news of
the murder has created • painful sensation in the village,
when the demand was well brows sad mush mopeds&

11104,18 Y MAIIKET.-(THIS DAYJ

Two oTtom

The funds opened steadily this morning, at the
closing quotations of yesterday, but have
since given way / per cent. on a
rumour that a further unfavourable movement has
taken place in the Bombay exchange. It is in-
ferred, therefore, that increased amounts of silver
will be sent from England to the East. The other
departments of the Stock Exchange are somewhat
inactive, the dealers being chiefly engaged in the
settlement of the account.

The discount market remains quiet, with little
business, and a ►arge supply of money. The gene-
ral rate for the best three months' bills is 8/ to 9
per cent., but exceptional transactions are reported
at 81. The charge for short loans in the Stock
Exchange is 5 per cent.
At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Reuter's tele-
gram, the Three per Cent. Routes opened at 66fr. 72c ~
showing no variation of importance.
Consols are now quoted 87/ to 88 for money,
and 88} to f for the account (October 11).
, The official business report is as follows :
Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 881, 1, 87; ;
ditto for account, 884, ; Three per Cents.
Redacted, 861, ; New Three per Cents., 861, 1,
; Bank Stock, 244, 242 ; India Stock, 212 ;
ditto Five per Cent. Stock, 104, 1, 1031 ; ditto
Bonds, 28e., 20s. die.
Spanish Passive Bonds continue in demand, and
have further improved f per cent. The Certificates
and the Confederate Loan are also rather firmer.,
On the other hand, Greek and Mexican
have receded 4. Some of the present quotations
are as follows :—Turkish, 1858, 68} to 69 ; ditto
1862, 691 to 70} ; Consolidds, 500 to 3 ; Greek, 24}

The steamer Tasmanian, from the West Indies,
has brought 437,500/. in specie.
There are too many conflicting elements in opera_
tion for any certainty to be felt with regard to the
course of the moneymarket a month or two onwards;
and the approaching influx of revenue to the Bank
will tend, as usual, to restrict the supply in the
general market, unless where a counteracting effect
is produced by the release of notes through the
loan and discount operations of the Bank—a pro
cess which can only be carried out on the Bank's
own terms. Nevertheless, the belief is gaining
ground that, for the present, the pressure in the
money market is likely to subside. More confi-
denoe would be felt but for the evidences presented
in many quarters of the tension to which the
machinery of at lit has latterly been subjected
through the operations of the financial companies
and of some of the new banks. The flood of paper
from these sources is believed by many to have con-
tributed in no small degree to the recent monetary
uneasiness and pressure, sad it is also considered
that the exceptionally high rites which have been
paid in not a few cases for the negotiation of this
class of paper has had an appreciable effect in
raising the general rate of discount against the
ordinary trader. The way in which these
transactions operate is clear enough : per-
haps a contractor engaged in some large
operation, or • person wishing for an
advance of large amount upon securities which,
though really valuable, are not immediately con-
vertible, goes to a financial company and solicits
their co-operation. The business, we will assume,
is profitable and sound ; mutually advantageous
arrangements are quickly agreed upon ; but
when the applicant expects to receive the proceeds
in cash he is probably requested, instead, to draw
upon the financial company, and does so, impressed
with the obvious truth of the remark, that the'
company's acceptance must, so far as be is con-
cerned, be the next thing to cash. It is in this
way that there is danger of credit being overstrained
and the seeds sown of future difficulty, the effects
of which may react over a far wider area than is at
present imagined. One remedy would seem to con-
sist in the financial companies dealing more largely
with actual cash and less with their credit, and this
would probably involve the calling up of • larger
amount of paid-up capital. If it be objected by
shareholders that this would tend to dimiuiah the
dividends, the answer is that the rates of dividend
lately declared will well bear dilution.
' Only 2,0001. in gold was sent into the Bank yester
day. The influx will continue, there being no de-
mand for the Continent in consequence of the Fgh
value of money here.
The silver market is inactive, at ss. 14d. per
ounce for bars. Advice. respecting the in-coming
Bombay mail are awaited. It appears that the
submarine cable between Alexandria and Malta was
broken about five days ago, 80 that no advice; from
Bombay can be received here by telegraph till the
mail reaches Malta, which is expected to be on the
15th inst.

The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were
generally quoted the same as on Friday. Where
any alteration occurred, it was in &downward direc-
tion. The rates were as follows :
Amsterdam, 3 months, 12.2 to 1 • ditto, 3 days,
11.18 j to 191 ; Rotterdam, 3 mooths,l 12.2 to 1 ; Ant-

The subjoined circular announces the failure of
Messrs. Lewine and Morris, merchants. The firm
is of recent origin :

The following is the circular sent to their creditors
by Messrs. Croskey and Co., whose stoppage was
referred to two days ago :
It is with deep regret that we find ourselves compelled to
suspend payment through the unexpected failure of several
mercantile firms. We are however genuine that if in.
dolgenoe be extended to us by our creditors we shall ulti-
mately be enabled to discharge oar liabilities is full. A
statement of affairs is in course of preparation by Messrs.

A meeting of the creditors of Mews. Newby,
Carson, and Co., in the East India trade, is con-
vened for Friday next.
The directors of the Bank of Hindustan, China,
and Japan (Limited) have secured the services of
Mr. H. Turner, late manager of the Imperial Bank
of China, India, and Japan (which has been merged
into this bank), to open a branch at Yokohama, ia
Japan • and, as he proceeds to his destination in
October, the bank will shortly be in a position to
do business with that country.
At an extraordinary meeting of the Panonia
Leather Cloth Company, held yesterday, it was de-
termined to voluntarily wind up the undertaking,
and to merge the business into a new concern, to be
called the Artificial Leather Company."

The following memorandum is from the Nova
Scotia Land ai,d Gold Crushing Company :

The directors of the Nova Scotia load and Gold Cranking
and Amalgamating Company (Limited) have received by
the present mail a remittance of 1560 z. 7 dwte. of gold, the
produce of Sherbrooke and Oldham. A great scarcity of
water for crushing is still felt at Oldham. From Oldham
the agent writes :—" I am much encouraged about getting
another rich deposit on the Hall lode. We have found it
again on the sorties as we were prospecting westwardly, and
about 15 feet further to the north it is looking very well,
and appears to increase in quality u it approaches the
slate." The agent at Sherbrooke states that " The Seers
Lode looks a great deal better in the bottom than it ever
has before ; rta present size in the bottom will average
about 8 inches wide, and looks very well, being weLL
sprinkled with gold. Nearly all the gold we took out of the
shaft this month was from the last three or four cwts. of
quartz takeu off in the bottom of shaft. I believe this
is going to be one of the beet lodes on the mines. It will
avenge, if it keeps its quality, from two to three °winos per
toe, which will pay handsomely for working. Oar cos-
pany's property on this lode is considered the best in Sher-
brooke, and I have every reason to believe that this is going
to be one of the best paying lodge in Sherbrooke."

Notwithstanding the recent rise in the value of
money, the rates of "continuation,' in prepara-
tion for Thursday's settlement in shares and foreign
stocks, were yesterday, upon the whole, rather
lighter than at the last settlement. The cause of
this appears to be the large number of specul►tive
operations for a fall which have been entered into in
the course of tax last two or three weeks in
consequence of the state of the money market. The
following shows the terms generally current at the
close of business yesterday afternoon :
