The Express.
London, England, 1867-12-27 00:00:00

THE EXPRF.Sk. .FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 27, 1867.

hurried away and waisted to get a are escape. When I vas
taken to the surgeon's I found the tail of my great coat
had been blown away. The ventilator of my helmet was
blown off, and was afterwards found in the yard of the
House of Detention. Ido not know what became of the
woman and children.

Inspector Potter—One of them, a little boy named
Abbot, is in the hospital now, not well enough to give
evidence.

The witness Moriarty, in reply. to a question from
a juror, denied that he loitered in going towards the
barrel, and said even if he had thought of putting the light
out he could not have done it, because the fire seemed to
be gashing out from the inside.
W. F. Young was standing at his door in Corporation-
lane a few minutes to four on the Friday afternoon. and a
little boy, named Abbot, drew his attention to the
barrel. He looked out and saw every gentlemanly looking
man, dressed in a fashionable brown coat, with black
velvet collar and a black hat, standing on the edge of the
pavement opposite, and • white mackintosh appeared
to be laid over the barrel. The witness saw
Bird talking to the policeman. Saw the police-
man walk lazily towards the man. Meanwhile the
man struck a light which went out, and a box waa
thrown to him from the court near, by a man dressed in
black. The policeman was by his side at the time. The
" gentleman lighted • squib in the barrel, and it
fired with a light as thick as his finger. The two men
them run one way, and the policeman the other, as if he
expected an explosion. The policeman was at least forty
yards off at the time of the explosion. It was a yellow
flame. Witness had his thumb so injured that it had to be
amputated immediately. His wife and sister were also
injured.
In cross-examination witness said—l should know these
two men if I saw them again. I have been taken to see
some men in prison, but they are not there.
The Foreman—Do we understand you to say that the
policeman was there when the match was tired ?
Witness—Yes, when the second match was lighted.
The Foreman—Did he see the light applied to the paper?
Witness—Yee ; he saw the gentleman light the blue
paper upon the edge of it.
The Foreman—Then be could have prevented it'
Witness—Yes, if he had had nerve enough. He was
within • foot of the man.

Moriarty was re-called and asked to explain. I
Moriarty—l will swear, on my solemn oath, I was not
there when the man lighted the fusee. There was nobody
there but a few boys and a woman near the barrel. I'll
call Him who saved me from being hurried into eternity to
witness to this.

The witnesses Bird and Jarvis were re-called. The
former said the policeman was not there when he saw the
light applied, and the woman also swore most positively
that the only persons near when the fusee was fired were
three or four little boys.
Inspector Potter—The witness Young was examined at
the other inquest, but he did not say a word of this.
A Juror—HL statement is a very extraordinary one.

The inquest was here adjonrnedtill next Fridaiy.

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Mx o'OLoca.

The Stock Exchange has re-opened this morn-
ing with a large attendance of members, this being
the first day of the settlement. Owing to the large
extent of the operations during the fortnight,
especially in railway securities, there is little dis-
position at the moment to enter fresh transactions.
With the exception of Caledonian and Lancashire
and Yorkshire the supply of railway stocks is fair.
Nevertheless, the tone of the market for these secu-
rities is rather firmer, and an improvement has oc-
curred in several instances. Midland and Lanca-
shire and Yorkshire are in especial request. Con-
sols are fiat, at a reduction of 1-16 to per cent.
Foreign bonds exhibit no alteration of importance,
and banking and financial shares are inactive.
As usual at this period of the year, the demand
for money has increased, while the supply has
diminished. The general rate for the best bills is
14 per cent., very few transactions being reported
at If. The charge for loans in the Stock Exchange
is higher, at 14 to 2 per cent.
Consols are quoted 92* to f, ex div., for money,
and 92f to 4, ex div., for the account (January 7).
The Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per
Cents. are 4 lower, at 921 to f.
The railway market is rather firm, and prices
have improved in some cases. Lancashire and
Yorkshire stock has advanced 1 per cent. ; Mid-
land, f ; Caledonian, 3 ; and North British, 4.
On the other hand, Berwick has declined f ; and
Great Eastern, 4. Annexed are the quotations :
Metropolitan, 1154 to 116 ; Great Western,
431 to 444 ; London and North Western,
1134 to j ; Midland, 102 j to 3 ; Lancashire and'
Yorkshire, 122 to 4 ; Caledonian, 73* to ;
South Eastern, 66f to 67 ; Great Eastern, 31*
to 4 ; Great Northern, 108 to 109 ; ditto A,
110 to 4 ; London, Chatham, and Dover,
171 to 18 ; North British, 33f to 341 ; Brighton,
493 to 50} ; Berwick, 981 to f ; and York and
North Midland, 91 to 4.
Foreign stocks are inactive, and the only
movement in the speculative descriptions is a rise
of * per cent. in Italian Bonds of 1861, viz., to
441 to 45f. Turkish of 1862 are called 604 to 614;
ditto of 1865, 33* to f ; Greek, 124 to 13 ; Spanish
Passive, 251 to 261 ; ditto New Three per Cents.,
36 to it ; Egyptian of 1864, 85 to 86 ; and Mexican,
• 154 to O.

American securities are flat. The 5-20 bonds are
quoted 72 to f , showing a decline of 1 ; Erie Rail-
way shares 48k to 1, being lower ; and Illinois
Central, 871 to 881.
Atlantic Cable shares are unaltered. Anglo-

On no previous occasion of a similar kind has the
City presented so deserted an appearance as it did
yesterday, both wholesale and retail establishments

there was next to nothing doing excepting through
the Clearing House, where likewise the business
tranaacted during the afternoon was very small.
The managers of the London and County Bank,
who appear to take very liberal views in the matter
of consideration for their clerks, released from duty
one-third of their staff, and it is to be regretted
that the managers of all the other banks did not
follow so good an example.

this week a decrease of 4,3501., compared with the
corresponding week of last year ; the Midland an
increase of 821. ; the Lancashire and Yorkshire a
decrease of 6111. ; the North British an increase of
543/. ; the London, Chatham, and Dover, including
the Metropolitan Extension and Branches, a de-
crease of 476/. ; and the Metropolitan Extension,
separately, a decrease of 2281. As before men-
tioned, the decrease in some of the returns pub-
lished this week is partly explained by the fact

included a larger proportion of Christmas tratiic.

tive thereto, or to any of the matters thereof, that
may be deemed advisable."
