THE LIVERPOOL MURDERS.

thy Merric Telegraph.]
EXECUTION OF WILSON.—(Tate Day )
LIVERPOOL, thetraaae, 1 rm.
Celcnft, the publio executioner, has just carried
out the last sentence of the law upon J. Gleason Wilson on
the scaffold at Kirkdale Gaol, in the preemies of one if the
largest contours. of spectators that has probably ever been
collected a' Liverpool on a similar occasion. As the public
are aware, Capt.Henrich son, the deceased husband and parent,
has only within the last week returned to England from a
voyage to Calcutta. Never has a convict under sentence of
death exhibited such an amount of callousness as Wilson,
notwithstanding the exhortation% of the Rev. Mr. !Davgins,
a roman catholic minister, who has been in daily,
almost hourly attendance upon him. An impres-
sion has bean entertained that Captain Henrietta=
confronted the culprit in the course of yesterday, the be-
reaved captain having expressed a desire to see him. Such,
however, is not the are. he mate of his ship saw the movies
in the condemned cell on Thursday night by order of the au-
thorities, in order to satisfy the public mind that he
was not the carpenter who had formerly belonged to Capt.
Henrictison's vessel. Twelve o'clock this day was the time
appointed for carrying the sentence into effect, when there
could not have been leis than from 20,000 to 30,000
persons collected. A. few minutes before 12 o'clock Wilson
was led forth on to the drop. He appeared remarkably
firm, and while the preparations were being arranged, not •
muscle in his frame was seen to move. Scarcely 3 minutes
elapsed ere the butt was drown, and the wretched man died
alter • few but severe struggles. He protested his innocence
to the last.

MONEY MARKET.

FRIDAY EVENT.O!

The stock market has been exceedingly languid to-
day, with seareo-y a transaction of aay impactor°e in the
English funds. Consols continued without any van -
tion from the commeeeiment to the close of businees
at 92,1 to for money, and 921 to for account.
The Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., which are
closed for dividend, were nevertheless negociated a'
94 and 931, with dividend, for money.
Exchequer Bills were done at 39e. and 365., prem.,
which is an improvement of le. since yesterday. Long
Annuities, 30 years, 1860, were marked 8 9-16.
India Bonds at 765. premium.
In the foreign house the dealers were principally
occupied with the settlement, which pasted cff v.i h-
out any novelty, and consequently the actual business
done was very limited. It le comprised in the follow-
ing :—Brazilian, at 851. Equador, 31. Mexican t x
coupons, at 28, 274, and 1 for money, and at 281 f. r
account. Portuguese Fear per Cents., at 201 ~rd
281. Spanish -Five per Cents., at 171 ; dine,
Three per Cents, at 34;:. Venezuela Defers d, at 71.
Dutch Two-and a-lla'f per Cents., at 641 d 54.
The premium on gold yesterday, at Paris, was 11}
per mille, which, at the English mint plies of
W. 171. 101 d. per out :co for stat 'lard gold, gists en
exchange of 25.431 ; and the exchange et Paris on
London at short being 25.421, it follows thr gold is
0.04 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London.
By adviees to-day from Hamburg, the price of
gold is 4363 per mark, which, at the Fnelish melt
price of 31. 17e. 10id. per ounce for standard gold,
gives an exchange of 136. lota. ; and the exchsr,ge
at Hamturg on London, at short, being 13s. 11 let.,
it follows that gold is 0.23 per cent. dearer in London
than in Hamburg.
The non-arrival of the Hibernia from the United
Statce and Halifax, which vessel was duo at r-
pool on Monday dot, begins to came apprehend ee,
that she may have encountered some accident to pre-
vent her arrival.
At the meeting of Spanish-American bontlholdt re,
which was held, pursuant to notice, in Auto inf. io-s,
to-day, nothing was determined on, and it was
resolved that the meeting should be adjourned till
the receipt of further &deices from Mexico.
The commercial advice. from Hamburg of the 11th''
state that the accounts r ceived from Rio and Setae.
of a di ficiency in the crop of coffee of one third, hut
especially the result of the sales in Holland, hat
strengthened the general opinion in favour of an ad-
vance in price, aed tin holders kept back in cense-
quence. Upwards of 50,000 bags taken on speculation
were by this means kept out of the msrket. The
sales during the week, nevertheless, amounted to 22,000
bags, chiefly Rio. The demand for Java was very
brisk, and higher prices would be pre'.d. Sugar had
improved in price. 2,000 centner spelter had been
disposed of at marts 9.3. In wheat more bard eft
had been done for export to England at current dole.
110 to 114 for whet* of 128:bs. to 130Iba. in weight.
Seal wheat commarehd 118 dollars. In other grain
scarcely anything was doing. The exchange on Lon-
don was 13.10 for three months and 13.111 for short.
Money was plentiful for commercial purpose..
According to advice. from Breslau of the 8 h, sales
of wool to the extent of severed thousand centner
had taken place during the week. The market was
attended by the dealers from all parte except this
country. Ihotwiths"anding these extensive op-rations
the prises had not advanced; the lower and middling
qualities indeed had given way several donate per
centner as compared with the prices of last July.
The large arrivals from Poland and Russia, as well
as the prospect of large supplies of wool from Hun-
gary, where it has been locked up during the late
commotion. in that country, are assigned as the rea-
sons for this reduction in price. The present stock
at market was estimated at 20,000 eentni r, which
was being daily increased by fresh arrivals from all
parts of the country. Several large transactions had
taken place in Speller on the era at 4 dollars, 61
5g.: at Gleiwitz, 4 dollars; at Myslovrez, 3 11-12
dollars. As regards
grain the continued unfavourable
accounts from abroad had discoursed operations,
and the priceshad in cinsequeire again given way,
and good white wbeit was obtainable at 44 to 52 sg.,
and yellow at 42 to 60 sg. per scheffel. Rye was
firm at 24 to 24 eg. Barley h
ot eon
bought to ex-
port at 23 and 24 sg. for the first qualities; inferior at
19 to 20 eg. Oats had realised 12 to 141 silver
grooehen per seheffel. The falling of the water in the
river, which imp, dud the transport, had also contri-
buted to lessen the demand for grain. The Berlin
grain market, according to advises received to-day,
was at a complete stand still, and the holders of all
descriptions appeared willing to secept lower terms.
The Bank of Englead averages for the week ending
the Bth inst., when compared with the sutures for
