The inquest on the bodies was commenced this
afternoon at Lim:tango Church, before Kr. William Jones
coroner of Anglmea, and a jury who were sworn in
Wel•h. It was an impressive eight, when the Coroner,
standing at the communion table, surrounded by the
group of dead and mangled corpses, amid the audible sobs
of those who had recognised their friends, commenced
his melancholy task. Mr. Moore, solicitor, of Warrington,
before the opening of the inquest, asked the Coroner what
course he intended to pursue.
The Corona thought he should be satisfied, under the
melancholy circumstanced, with the identification of the
bodies.
This having taken place,

_ .
The Coroner proceeded to Penrose Church, where he also
charged the jury with the investigation into the cinema-
stances of the death of the bodies lying there. The inquests

Interpreter provided.
Several parties were present, who stated that they were
prepared to vindicate the character and memory of Captain

SUPPOSED INCENDIARISM AT A FARMER.-0A
Tharefey, John Galley, farmer, of Mosborough, near Eck-
fasten, was apprehended on the charge of having wilfully
fired his awn stacks. On the previoua Saturday night two
Macke dints and a stack of hay, the property of the prisoner,
were found to be on lire. An alarm was spread, and as
quickly as possible efforts were toads to subdue the Dames ;
but this was sot accomplished until the stacks were almost
entirely consumed. The property was insured in the Liver •
pool and London office. the police la the neighbourhood
have made every effort to discover the cease of the fire, and
the information which they have elicited has led them to the
conclusion that the stacks ware purposely fired, and that the
light was applied to them by the prisoner. He has been
taken before the magistrates at likkington, and formally
remanded.—sA,ield Tekgrvh.
EXTENSIVE FlREv.—Yeutesday morning, between
the hours of three and four o'clock, a fire happened oa the
premises belonging to Mr. G. Rhodes, ooffee and beer-shop
keeper. carrying on business at No. 22, Whoelet•street,
Spitalfields. In the mimeo( a few minutes a man arrived
with the lioyel Society's escape, and, having ascended the
ladder, brought down from the window a man and his wife
in safety. Three engines quickly attended, and a good
supply of water was procured; but the dames could not be
extinenished until the firat floor wee completely burnt oat,
sad the contents consumed. The flames bad goo seconded
the stairs, and did ocumiderable damage to the remainder of
the premises. The origin of the fire could not be ascerteined.
The sufferer wee insured in the Sun and General Fire Offices.
Another are broke out in the premises of Mr. H. Reed, 41,
Stamford-4zeet, Illackfriars-road. When discovered in the
street, dames were laming from the second-door windows,.
The Royal &okay's escape from Surrey Chapel promptly
attended, as wills, the Brigade engines from Waterloo and
Famtliwirk-bridge road, followed immediately afterwards by
Mr. Rendition, the foreman, and one of the amino/es.
The firemen eacceeded in getting the firs extinguished, but
the damage done was oonaiderabls, and will fell upon the
Gaily Fire Office. . _

THE FIRE IN WHITS'S GROUND., BEIMONDSES.
—Mr. Cook, fur dyer' of 205, Bermondsey, in whose pee-
=lees this Sr. we. at Bret reported to ham originated, writes
to se to contradict that statement. Mr. Cook mentions the
mine of another firm, and states that be has proof that it
leeks out in their premises.
ESCAPE 01 PRISONERS FROM NEWCASTLE GAOL.
—During the coarse of Wednesday night three prisoners
reads their escape from Newcastle Gaol. Their names are
Edward Reeling, Walter Scott Dourelsta, and Joseph
Preshloue, who were under remand for further examination,
aoacerning the robbery committed a week or two ego at Mr.
Thompson'', jeweller, Arcade, and shoat Mr. Scott's, Pil-
grimo,treet. fhe prisoners were safely locked up on Wed-
nesday night, and on the turnkey going his mead on
Thursday morning it was found that they had managed to
effect their coupe. The whole affair appears to have been
most dexterously managed, not the least notes having
occurred to induce the authorities to think that anything
wrong was going on during the night. On Thursday night
the chief constable =mended in re-capturing Preshious. His
leg was hart as If by a Ult.—Newmark CAroairle.
THE GREAT EASTERN IN THE 1514 LE.—From
8 o'clock on Wednesday Captain Harrison never left the
deck or bridge, but was either sounding the lead overboard to
sae If she dragged, giving directions about the steam, or
watching the chain cables as under the strain they rose up
out of the water like bars of solid metal. Everything that
could be done under the circumstances was o,ooe, and there
was nothing for it but to hold on and wish for daylight.
This latter Captain Benison did most devoutly, tor the
wind almost Knelled the force of a hurricane at tomes, jerk-
ing at the muts as if it would map them off at the dock, and
making the Great Eastern tremble perceptibly throughout
her inimenae length and breadth as if some giant hand wee
shaking her. From this time, till between 2 and 3 o'clock
in the morning, the gels increased In violence till the din
was appalling, and the rein and had, driving with the force
of smell shot, made it painful to face it. The gusts revelled
over the huge exposes of deck till none dared stand before
them. Well was it for thereat ship that nothing happened !
at Ibis lime, or her chance would have been pour indeed. The
air was filled with spray. torn from the rugged waves, the
darkness was impenetrable, while the hoarse rose of
the wind drowned every other sound save the dull,
threatening booming of the wave. up= the rocks sod
breakwater, the sound of which came up on the
gale like peals of distant thunder, Words of command
i would have been useless, and even if heard, neither
men nor ship could have struggled long against the gale
which was tubing post. Thom who hued its deafening
roar that night from sea are never likely to forget it. Be-
' teem l and 2 o'clock Captain Harrison went forward and
endeavoured to pierce the thick gleam and see what was
going on ahead. On his way along the deck his waterproof
coat WS4 blown to Muds off hem, and he himself at last
carried before the gals and thrown down, and tumbled along
with such violence as to receive some most severe contu-
' Hose Towards 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning the gale
seemed at its worst. To the roar and scream through
the shroud, other and more unpleasant sounds were
soon added. SS the wind blew up the saloon
abylights, drooping them dawn with a bang and
crash of glass that to thus below was startling in the ex-
treme. Crash after crash the glass in these skylights went,
ems after 'heather; the rain and wind pouring dews through
the apertures into the =loons, and above all Into the grand
sakes, to decorate which so moot that was redly needed In the
ohip hss been deferred. It wanted not such aids to let in
wind and water, foe the upper wooden deck was leaking at

low wee an array of vessels of every sir., and Mad which
could ooeteio the marelare dripOngs trim above. Yet, is
spite of all this, the lower dec6 were popped and Washy, and

MONEY MARKET -MIS DAY.

Two o'Ciocw.

The funds to-day are firm, at yesterday's im-
provement, with very little basineu. The govern-
ment broker has made no further purchase. In the
share markets business is still principally confined to
the settlement, but the leading British railway stacks
have advanced.

The scrip of the New Indian Loan, after befog
narked 10311, has declined to 102/ to 103/.
The Three per Cent. Renter opened at Paris this
morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, at the
last price of yesterday—viz., 691 r. 45c. for the
account.

Consols are officially marked 951 to 961, for
money, and 96 to 961 for the eels:mot. The pre_
sent quotations are 96 for cash, and 98 to k
for the Bth of November. Bank Stock has been
desk in at 2251 to 227 ; the Three per Cents.
Reduced, at 941 to 1; the New Three per Cents.,
at 941 to 1; India Stock, at 2221 to 224; the New
Indian Loan, at 102 i to 103; ditto scrip, at 103 to
1031; the Four per Cent. Debentures of 1858, at 961
to 97; ditto 1859, at 961; India Bonds, at 2 dis.
to 2 prem.; and Exchequer Bills, at 275. to 30a.
prem.

Quietude continues to prevail in the foreign stock
market, and prices are unaltered. The Old Turkish
Six per Cents. remain quoted 77i to 781 and
. _,

the Loan of 1868 at 66} to 671. Russian
Scrip is marked # dia. Sales are recorded u follows :
—Brazilian Five per Cents., 1839 and 1869, 1011 ;
Mexican Three per Cents., 211; ditto for account, 221;
Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 98}; ditto

and-a-Half per Cents., 281.

The steamier Tentoniahaa arrived from New York,
with 153,000/. in specie for England.

HALP•PAST TWO O'CLOCK.

Console are without change at 96 to I, both
for money and the account. The scrip., of the
New Indian Loan has risen 3 per cent. during the
last half hour, the present price being 1031 to j.
The government broker yesterday invested in Re-
duced Three per Cent. stock the balance —7,0001.
applicable on account of the fund set apart for the
ultimate redemption of the original stock of the Rut
India Company. The total taken for the purpose
this week is 67,0001. There was also another in-
vestment to the extent of 60,0001. in the New Three
per Cents.
The demand for money in commercial channels was
brisker yesterday. Few or no bills were discounted
below the Bank minimum, and the applications at
that establishment, though moderate, were both
larger than for some time past, and of a more diver-
sified character. Activity is looked for next week,
considering that 440,0001. has to be paid on the new
Victoria government debentures, deliverable on
Monday, in addition to the instalment on the Rus-
sian Loan, fixed for Tuesday, and the commercial
requirements in the first week in November.
In the Stock Exchange, owing to the recent in-
vestments by the public, money is abundant, at 11 to
2 per cent. on government securities.
At Vienna on Thursday there was a renewed fall of
1 per cent. in the Austrian Metallic,. The effect on
foreign markets of the recent revelations respecting
the doings of the finance department is watched
with a good deal of anxiety.
The ensuing settlement in the share and foreign
stock markets is fixed for the 16th November.

In addition to 8,0001. in bar gold taken from the
Bank yesterday,the bulk of the 169,235 sovereigns by
the Maid of Judah, being of Australian coinage, was
purchased for the Continent. The rest were English,
and will be sent into the Bank. The Behar, with
the heavy portion of the Bombay mail, has brought
only 2,2401. in specie.
Bills on the Continent were again in demand yes-
terday, and the French, Hamburg, and Frankfort ex-
changes showed an adverse tendency. The course
of the exchange on Austria continues to indicate the
effect of the distrust engendered by the lax morality
of the Austrian financiers. The rates are shown
below :
Amsterdam, dote months, 11.18 to ; ditto short, 11.14
to ; Bouerdaza, three months, 11.18 to 1; Antweep,
three mouths, 26.25 to 30 ; Hamburg, marts tumor, three

Thel. light portion of the Calcutta and China mails
will be delivered in London early on Monday
morning. The Bombay mail left Aden for Suez on
the 19th inst., and the Marseilles portion is due in
London on the 4th of November. It may be detained
in Egypt, however, awaiting the arrival of the Aus-
tralian mail.

The Caledonian Railway traffic return shows this
week an increase of 2,0131. _ _

The traffic on the Trieste line of the Lombardo-
Venetian Railway Company for the week ending the
21st Oct. was 26,7341., being 1,9731. more than in
the corresponding week of last year; and that on the
Lombardo-Venetian line 11,5821., showing an in-
crease of 1,4091. The aggregate increase on both
lines sines the Ist Jan. is 693,0611.
The numbers are published of 365 bonds, repre-
senting 60,700/. of the Danish Three per Cent. Loam,
which have been purchased and cancelled.
The half-yearly dividend is advertised on the Wil-
mington and Raleigh Railroad Company's bonds.
The preparations for the fortnightly settlement
in the market for British railway stocks show that
the amount of the outstanding transactions is very
limited. Speculators for the rise have been dim-
, ocuraged from carrying on their operations, and
their sales have been met to some extent by pur-
chases by the public. The rates of " continuation "
yesterday were consequently light. The following
shows the terms current at the commencement of
business, but in the afternoon a reduction took place
in most instances

London and North Weetern 3.16 to 6-16 per cent. " con-

The movement under the respective heads of

231,8871., an increase of almost the same amount has
taken place in the reserve. The decrease in the
specie is trifling. These changes are satisfactory.
The increase of 1,000,0001. in the " Government
securities," shown in the return for the week ending
the 12th inst., and the decrease of 1,344,8121. in that
for the week ending the 19th, appear to have beta

caused merely by the usual quarterly arrangement
of the Diticiency Bill accounts between the Bank
and the Treasury. In one week, government tem-
porarily borrowed 1,000,0001., and in the next repaid
it. The difference-344,8121.—repro ante chiefly, if
not wholly, the diminished value of the government

There is little variation in prima. Copper, however, is in
