COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The inquiries for money today have been rather
less active at previous quotations.
A further sum of £15,000 in gold was taken into
the Bank yesterday.
There was no alteration of importance in the
foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon.
Since Monday last the imports of specie have
altounted to £368,600 and the exports to £748,800•

Two o'CLocK.
In French 3 per Cent. Rentes, according to Mr.
Reuter's telegram, business was transacted in the
Boulevard last night at 68f. 70c., in consequence of
divers rumours. To-day at 11.30 they were quoted
at 69f., none of the rumours current having as yet
been confirmed. The last quotation received is
CBf. 92c., uneasy.
There has been a .general curtailment of specula-
tive business at the Stock Exchange, which may
be partly accounted for by the intervention of the
Jewish holidays. The quotations, however, have
continued to manifest considerable firmness, much
support being given to prices by the upward ten-
dency of the French Rentes. Consols are 92:
for money, and 93'a 4 for the account. The New
Threes are 92 1 ; the Reduced 921 4; Exchequer
Bills, par to 3s. prem. ; and India 5 per Cents
108 i .1

The movements in the Foreign Market to-day
are rather important, although the business trans-
acted is not extensive. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854,
are 941 951 ; do., 1858, 70-i I; do., 1862, 711 ; do.,
Consolides have improved to 53,1 9 ; Mexican to
42k 8 ; Spanish Passive to 36k ; the Certificates,
13-H ; but Greek have receded to 371 4 ; the
Coupons to 171 181 ; Portuguese to 494 4; and the
Confederate Loan to 31 to 29 dis.
In the Railway Share Market increased depres-
sion has prevailed. Great Western, Lancashire and
Yorkshire, North Eastern (Berwick), and South
Eastern have each receded 55., and South Western
and Metropolitan 10s.
The Foreign and Colonial lines have remained
very inactive, without change in values.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have fully sus-
tained former rates. Chartered of India, Aus-
tralia, and China realise 354 36 ; English, Scottish,
and Australian Chartered, 221 d ; London and

The CUCKOO, OR THE CHOC:ILES CANORIIS, is a
very quaker-like dressed individual, slate-grey,
while and black, being the prominent colours of its
feathers, The hen cuckoo generally lays her eggs, which
are not larger than a skylark's, in the nest of some other
smaller bird, but only one in each nest, leaving the young
birds to be brought up by their foster-parents. Some
writer relates a Swedish anecdote in connection with the
cuckoo, accounting, in the following ingenious manner, for
hcr having no time to build her nest. He says that imme-
diately on the arrival of this bird, all the young maidens,
the first time of hearing her note in each year, are in the
habit of asking the question, " How many )ears before I
'narry ?" The number of times the bird cries " cuckoo"
in reply is received as the answer, and the poor cuckoo is
kept eo fully employed by the Swedish spinsters in deter-
titintrag the duration of their single blessedness that she has
110 iime to attend to her own domestic affairs, and cense-
quantly drops her eggs into the nest of the hedge-sparrow,
yellowhammer, pied wagtail, and the meadow pipit.

The Discovery of Bodies in Whitechapel

Church,

INQUEST THIS DAY.

This morning Mr. Humphrey, the coroner for East Mid-
dlesex, held an inquiry at the Angel Inn, Whitcchapel, in
reference to the deaths of the bodies found in the roof and
belfry of Whitechapel Church.

Mr. Mitchell, solicitor, appeared en the part of the Rev.
Mr. Cohen, the rector, and the churchwardens, and ex-
pressed their disgust at the facts which had transpired, and
assured the coroner that every means should be taken to
prosecute a thorough investigation. He added that still-
born children were never buried in the churchyard at
Whitechapel.
Charles Wolfe, of 62, High street, Whitechapel, said he
remembered a man named Smith. They called him `• Bill
Smith." He had seen him about the churchyard. It was
about three years ago. One evening he saw Smith go into
the, church with a black bag. There appeared to be some-
thing in it. He bad no reason to form an opinion that the
bag contained a child's coffin. He had thought nothing
more about the matter.
Joseph Bradley, of 37, Great Hill-street, plumber, said
he had been an undertaker, in fact he Ras born an under-
taker. (Laughter.) His father and brothers had been under-
takers.
The Coroner said he was lucky in getting such evidence.
It was difficult to get evidence from present undertakers—
they were obliged to go to the past.

Witness said it was the custom of the undertakers to
hand over stillborn children to the sextons to be buried
where they could. Parents did not generally follow still-
borne to the grave. It was not usual to have certificates
with stillborns. As far as he was aware, it was not the
duty of the undertakers to ascertain in any way whether a
child brought to them was a stillborn. The undertakers
relied upon the statements made by parents and nurses.
There was a keen contest amongst undertakers for business,
and no doubt that sometimes young children were buried at
unremunerative prices. Of course if an undertaker could
save the ccffin and burial fees he would be the more in
pocket.

By Mr. Mitchell—He never heard of certificates being
given for stillborn children. He had had no experience
since the passing of the Burials Act, but he did not believe
the practice had been in any way altered.
Mr. Mitchell—lt is evidently a very loose practice.
Mrs. Allen, who was called on a previous occasion, said
she thought she could recognise the man who fetched away
her child (one of those found), and four very doleful look-
ing men were introduced, but she failed to identify either
of them.

'George Shakes, of Hayfield-lane, Mile-end Old Town,
engine-keeper, said he was formerly employed by Mr, Can-
ham, an undertaker. He had taken a good many children
from Mr. Canham's shop to Bow Cemetery. He never took
any to Whitechapel. How they came to Canham's he
did not know. Sometimes people used to bring stillborn
children to Mr. Canham's house themselves. In all cases
they were given up to the gravedigger. Half-a •crown was
the general fee at. the Cemetery for a stillborn, so that a
parent would save 7s. 6cl. on burying a child as a stillborn.
Sometimes he had a certificate, but he never thought it
worth while to look at them. He could read a little, but
he had no idea by whom the certificates were signed.
John Davis Pilly, an undertaker, of IVellington-place,
Stepney, said he had occasionally gone, on funerals, for Mr.
Canham. One he fetched from Calvert's Brewery, in
Thames street, but he did not know what became of it.
Another he had he took to Bow Cemetery. With the last
he had a certificate, which he gave up at the office when he
paid the fees. He could not say whether it was signed by
a midwife. He sometimes received stillborte on his own
account. He fetched them from the people's houses. If a
stillborn were brought by a midwife he did not know that
he should refuse it—in fact, he would take it. If he gave
credit for a stillborn ,t would be 7s. 6d. ; if the people
paid prompt, it would be 6s. He paid 3e. 6d. for fees, and
the coffin cost about ls, 9d.
By Mr. Mitchell—He never buried children in a church-
yard closed by order in council, nor any other churchyard.
Robert Dormer, of Bancroft-terrace, Mile. end-road, un-
dertaker, said he used to assist Mr. Canham. He fancied
he fetched two bodies from Mrs. Allen's house in Bedford-
street. The last one he fetched away about ten o'clock on
a Saturday night. He left it at Mr. Canham's, and did not
know what became of it. It was not an usual thing to
fetch still-borne from the parents' houses. Sometimes an
undertaker would take a shell and bring the body away
and keep it in his house until he had a funeral. He could
not say whether the children brought away were still-born.
A juror—Children might be murdered and taken away
in this way.
Vany
such
he in
caseswhich
eh al
dchildwas e
re
taken away without a shell,

The usual charge for burying a stillborn vk as 6s 6d, includ-
ing 3s 6d for the ground.
Witness—Het did not k

The Coroner—Does it not sometimes happen that when
an adult is to be buried a child is put in the same coffin?
IVitness—l never did it, but I have heard of its being
done in the trade,.

The Cororer—ln that case the 3a Gd for the ground would
be saved ? Witness—Yes, it would.
William Barker, an undertaker, who said he was an
undertaker and patronised." Victoria," had worked for Mr,
Canham. He knew that stillborns and adults were brought
to the establishment. He had known nurses come for
shells and bring stillborns back. Mostly a paper was
brought with them, but he did not know whether it was a
certificate, or by whom it was signed. He had never seen
more than two or three stillborns there at a time. For Mr.
Canham he had buried about three dozen stillborns a year,
but Mr. Canham was not his largest employer. He made
about 150 coffins for stillborns a year for Mr. Canham and
others. When he was at Mr. Canham's he saw many still-
bouts come in, but he never knew how they went out. Of
600 coffins he made in the year 150 were for stillborns. The
very lowest he could charge for a stillborn was 4s. 6d. up to
a pound, if he could get it.
He paid 2s. 6d. at the Vic-
toria for the ground. He fetched the bodies from the house
and took them to the cemetery. When nurses or others
brought bodies in a shell they were fastened up, and the
undertakers did not consid( r it to be their business to in-
quire whether they were stillborn or not. Certificates were
brought, but if a certificate was signed " Anne Thompson,
midwife," the undertakers would accept it without inquiry.
It would not pay them to go to inquire whether there was
any " Anne Thompson," or if there were, if she was a mid-
wife.

The Coroner condemned the lax way in which the busi-
ness was conducted by undertakers, and remarked sternly
upon the way in which bodies of children were disposed 01
without any examination whether they were born or not.
He thought the jury might come to the conclusion that the
bodies had been in the church two years and upwards, but
that there was no direct testimony as to how they were
placed there. He did not think that violence of any kind
had been offered to the bodies, but that they had been
placed where they were found to save the burial fees and
with the connivance of some one connected with White-
chapel church. With regard to the low cutting under-

On the admission of strangers to the room the jury
found, the verdict being only on one child, that the said
female child, being of a tender age, to wit, of the age of
about three months, was found dead on the roof of White-
chapel Church. And the said jurors do further say,
from the decomposed state of the body, the evidence
fails to prove tho cause of death. They also
added these worths that the jury finding from the
evidence that it Was the practice of undertakers to receive
certificates of still-born children from midwives, or any
other women, they feel that the perpetration of abortion

suggest that any person burying, or assisting to bury,

conveniences would be remedied if our companies
would consent to the simple expedient of establishing some
means of communication between the passengers and the
guards. Mechanically, there is absolutely no difficulty
about such an arrangement. In the United States the
contrivance employed is of the simplest. A cord runs from
car to car, fastened by loops to the roofs. The guard at the
end of the train can stop the engine at once by jerking the

cord a certain number of times, and the

preparing, appearing to afford abundant material for specu-
lation and gossip. In fact, so large was the crowd, that a
visitor inquired if there was about to be a " rehearsal"
of the spectacle of to-day. The weather being
favourable great numbers, desiring to have " front
places," encamped for the night upon the ground.
As an immense concourse of spectators were expected, bar-
riers of great strength were erected, and an unusually largo
police force was stationed at the gaol, and in its vicinity.
The spectators at the execution of Taylor, it is believed,
numbered 80,000 ; and, though there was not that intense
and peculiar interest which distinguished his caese attaching
to any of the four murderers executed to-day, yet, from the
fact that a quadruple execution for separate crimes was un-
precedented in Liverpool, there was an equal, if not greater,
number of people. The criminals, from inquiries made
last evening, were as resigned as could be expected
from men in their dreadful situation, and Alvarez
and Thomas appeared to have changed their somewhat
callous and indifferent bearing which they at one time
manifested. Alvarez had been visited by the Spanish
Consul and Vice Consul at Liverpool, who communicated
to him the unsuccessful result of the efforts made to ob-
tain a reprieve in his case. Mr. Godwin, of St. Anthony's
Catholic Church, had also spent a good deal of
time with Alvarez. Thomas received the information
that the efforts made in his favour had been fruitless with
more composure than was anticipated. It may be remem-
bered that he had feigned madness during his trial, but his
conduct during the past week confirmed the opinion of the
surgeon of the gaol that his mind was never affected. Mr.
Hughes and Mr. Saunders, two Welsh Dissenting mini-
sters, have been in frequent attendance upon him, and
took the greatest interest in his case. He was seen
two or three days ago by a former schoolfellow, who called
again at the gaol yesterday afternoon, hut as Thomas ex-
pressed a disinclination to see him, Captain Gibbs, the
Governor, did not allow an interview. O'Brien had no
visits from friends or relatives, but had been most assi-
duously cared for by the Rev. Mr. Gibson, the Catholic
chaplain of the gaol. Hughes had received visits from two
of his brothers, and from a daughter by his first wife. Cal-
craft arrived yesterday afternoon. At no former execution
at Kirkdale have more than two criminals been hung, and
no foreigner has previously been executed there. The
usual preliminaries having been gone through, the proces-
sion slowly wended its way towards the scaffold; and Cal-
craft having adjusted the rope on each of the culprits, they
were in a few moments launched into eternity. The im-
mense crowd shortly afterwards dispersed. The bodies
having hung the usual time they were taken down, and
were be buried within the precincts of the gaol.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

UNPROVOKED ASSAULT.—Henry Wallace, of 18, Queen-
street, Grosvenor-square, a tin plate worker, was charged
before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following unprovoked assault
on Mr. Thomas Taylor, of the Albion tavern, Duke-street,
Grosvenor-squire, and William Wyatt, porter, of James-
street, was charged with creating a disturbance.
Mr. Taylor said the defendants came into his house
yesterday evening and made use of very bad language.
They then caused such a disturbance that he was obliged
to put them out of his house, and as soon as he had done
so, Wallace gave him a severe blow in the face, deluging
him in blood. (Mr. Taylor exhibited his apron, and it was
completely saturated with blood.)

Phipps, 126 C, said he saw the two defendants in Duke-
street, Wyatt with his coat off, challenging every one to
fight, and as Wyatt refused to go away he took him into
custody, Woodger, 159 C, taking Wallace.
Mr. Wm. Hughes, of 93, Carnaby-street, proved seeing
Wallace both strike and kick Mr. Taylor, the only mason
for doing so being that Mr. Taylor put him (Wallace) out
of the house for using bad language.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said the assault on Mr. Taylor who, of
course, did not like to have a disturbance in his house, was
a n3cst unprovoked one. He should fine Wallace 40s. or a
month, and Wyatt, ss. or 7 days.
