JEALOUSY AND DOUBLE MURDER.—The village of St.
Qneutin-en-Tourmont, near Amiens, has just been thrown
into consternation by the discovery of a double murder,
committed by a young man, named Gomard, in a fit of
jealousy On the occasion of the village feast, Gomard,
after dancing with his sweethart, induced her to take a
walk with him. He then appears to have accused her of
favouring the addresses of another suitor, and the quarrel
became so violent, that at last he pushed her into a deep
ditch full of water, with the intent to drown her. The
girl's screams brought a woman to her assistance, but while
the latter was endeavouring to help the poor girl out the
murderer pushed her in also, and held them both under
water until they were drowned. The bodies were discovered
next mousing, and Gomard himself was present as an
indifferent. spectator. His cap, however' having been found
on the spot, he was suspected; but before he could be
apprehended he attempted self-destruction by discharging a
gun with the muzzle placed under his chin. Strange to
n o
say, the charge passed through his neck, without sersly
injuring any vital organ, and he is now in the prison of
Abbeville awaiting his trial.

DFATII OF SIR JAMES RUSSELL.—We regret to announce
the death of Sir James Russell, K.C.8., which took place
on Monday lest at his residence, Ashiesteel, Selkirkshire.
The deceased Knight was the son of Colonel William

John Rutherford, of Edinburgh. lie was born at Madras

James Hall, Bart., of Dunglass, grand daughter maternally
of the fourth Earl of. Selkirk. He entered the military
service .of the East India Company at Madras in 1795, and
was engaged in the principal military affairs of the East
Indies from 1799 to 1825. He was appointed Colonel of
the 2nd Madras Cavalry in 1824, and became a General lo
1854. He greatly distinguished himself at the bate' of
Mahedpoor, where he commanded a brigade of ORVaty. He

of in 1837.

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL
LIVERPOOL, Wednesday Evening.
The Liverpool Cotton Market continues heavy,
and prices to-day are fully an eighth per pound
below the quotations of Friday. The business to-day
has been confined to 4,000 bales, all of which have
been taken 'by the trade.

Liverpool Share Market, and the amount of business

better. The transactions to-day comprised :-East
Lancashire 9/. shares, 4 d. ; Lancashire and York-

The London Stock Market has been very quiet
to-day, and scarcely any business has been done..
The price of Consols has been very regular, opening
at the closing quotations of yesterday, and closing
at about the same point. They were finally marked
at 901, 901, and other securities as follows :-Three
per Cents, 901, 901 ; Bank Stock, 218, 221 ; Exche-
quer Bills, Large and Small, 24, 28 ; pm.

The weekly return of the traffic of the Great
Western Railway, published to-day, shows the
receipts to have been 65,273/., being an increase of
4,3111. on the corresponding week of last year.. The
receipts of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company
have been 24,4621., being an increase of 851/. ;: and
the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire 10,872/.,
being an increase of 1,0100.
The Liverpool Wool Sales were resumed to-day,
and 'comprised 3,438 bales, offered by various
brokers, viz.: Messrs. Law and Wylie, Messrs.
Perkins and Robinson, Messrs. Buchanan and
Browne, and Mr.. E. Buckley.. Of the entire, 870
bales were East India, the biddings for which were
spirited, and resulted in the whole ' being sold at
regular and full prices. The remainder of the cata-
logues consisted of Oporto, Peru, Chili Buenos
Ayres, &c., but only a portion of which were
sold.. The sales to-morrow will embrace 1,800 bales
East India, to be offered by Messrs. Browne,
Hunter and Co.
At the London Wool 'Sales to-day, Messrs.
Southey and Son disposed of about the average
quantity of wool. For good and fine qualities the
,biddings were rather spirited, but inferior kinds
changed hands rather slowly.. Compared with the
opening decline, no. further change took place in
prices. The attendance of buyers was tolerably

numerous.
The course of the Money Market is strengthening
the impression entertained in some quarters that the
action of the Bank, in raising the rate of discount
to 41 per cent., was somewhat precipitate. The
amount of money on offer is extremely large, and
important sums are daily refused by the leading
establishments. First class bills are readily nego-
tiated at 4 to 4; per cent., and, in exceptional
instances, at lower rates. he applications at the
Bank have dwindled to a trifling amount.
Fresh proof of the wealth of France, as well as of
the extent to which the mania for stock jobbing
pervades even the humbler classes of society,
is afforded by the remarkable fact, vouched
for by the Moniteur, that the subscriptions to
the loan of 20,000,0001. have reached an aggregate
capital of. 92,280,0001., that the subscriptions for
an amount of stock representing an annual income
of 10fr. (say Bs.), amount to a capital of 32,000,0001.,
and that the enormous number of 525,000 indivi-
duals have taken part in the operation. It is pre-
sumed that, in accordance with the original an-
nouncement, the entire amount of the loan will be
allotted amongst the large class of small subscribers.
The individuals who have been inspired, whether
through patriotism, a hankering after premiums, or
a desire to curry favour with the powers that be,
to write for large sums, will consequently have the
satisfaction of knowing that they have participated
in a national demonstration, without incurring the
slightest possible risk. The subscription lists were
closed on Sunday throughout France.
Complete stagnation prevailed to-day in the Stock
Exchange. The Funds remain firm. Numerous small
investments are made by the public The closing quota-
tions of Consols were 1-16 to 1-18 per cent. above
those of yesterday. An impression is entertained that
the action of the Bank in raising the rate of discount
to four and a-half per cent. was somewhat precipitate.
The amount of money on offer is extremely large; impor-
tant sums are daily refused by the leading establishments.
First-class bills are readily negotiated at 4 to 41 per cent ,
and in exceptional instances at lower rates. There were no
gold 'operations at the Bank to-day. The £135,900 in
Australian gold, by the Maidstone and. Sydentiam, was
taken for transmission abroad. Insurances have been
effected on large amounts of Russian gold, about to be
transmitted to this country. It is believed that the
aggregate will reach £400,000 or £500,000. A large pro-
portion. is on account of the Russian government. The
exchange at St. Petersburgh on London has risen, in
consequeuee, from 311 d to 33d.—Daily News City Article,
Tuesday Evening.
The movements of the English funds to-day have been
precisely such as have been witnessed nearly every day for
more than a week. Consols advanced, receded, and finally
rallied to their first price. The arrivals of Australian and
American gold during the past ten days has amounted to
£930,000, of which the greater part has been already taken
for the continent, and the remainder will immediately
follow.. The Indian Council will not make any specie
shipments to India. The total sent has been about
£3,000,000. In the Foreign Exchanges this afternoon
there was a slight improvement in the Austrian rates.
