CONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Money continues plentiful in the general market,
and the rates still show a downward tendency.

Since Monday last the imports of specie have
amounted to X 206,500, and the exports have reached
4:717,000.

There was a meeting yesterday of the creditors
of Messrs. J. L. Smith and Co., West India mer-
chants. A balance-sheet, prepared by Messrs.
Johnstone, Cooper, and Co., states the liabili-
ties at £30,692, and the assets at only £7,987.
The deficiency, it was stated, was mainly owing to
the depreciation of property in the West Indies. A
resolution was passed for liquidating the estate in
the hands of trustees for the general benefit of th 3
creditors.

Two O'CLOCK.

A RORRIBLE LITERARY CURIOSITY,—There is
I the library of the Bolton Athenaeum a thin
octavo; volunas with the following title :—" Narrative of
he Life of Zames Allen, alias Jonas Pierce, alias James
his
York, alias Burby Grove. The Highwayman. Being
,8 Death-Bed Confession to the Warden of the Massa-
rcausetts State Prison. Boston : Harrington & Co., Pub-
-1837?' The startling peculiarity about the afore-
-Bald volume is this. After the death of Walton, his body
4.11.4 S gives to the surgeons ; his skin was tanned ; and in
'444a ferrful leather, made from his own cutaneous integu-
-31: clits the narrative of the life of the highwayman is bound
P' A Latin inscription on the cover states the horripilat-
'ng fact :_« Hie Liber Waltonis Cute compactus est."
PRIGHTFUL CHILD MURDER IN SALFORD.—At
the Salford police court yesterday morning, before
Mr, 11. L. Trafford and the Mayor of Salford, a young
Woman named Elizabeth Benyon, 20 years of age, was
Placed in the dock charged with the wilful murder of her
own child, a boy twelve months old. Sergeant Greenwood,
Of. the county police force, said that from information he re-
geeived he on the 18th inst. went to a house in Eccles, where
the prisoner had lodged. He there saw the prisoner, and
said to her, "Elizabeth, you have a child, have you not ?"
She replied that she had. Witness asked her where it was,
and she then said, " I gave it to a woman on Tuesday night,
near Hulme church. She was tall, and told me she lived at
No. 9, Newton-street, Hulme," Gteenwood told her he
should have to lock her up on suspicion of having destroyed
the child, and about eleven o'clock the same night he spoke
to the IA isoner and told her that the story she had given
'was untrue. Prisoner then said, " I will tell you where
the child is if you will not put me in those cells." Green-
wood told her he could not make any promise of that kind,
411 d the prisoner said immediately after, "I put it in the
water, and if you will go along with me I will chow you
Where it was," and added—" I should never have done it but
tor a man who came along with me from Deansgate on the
Way home. He said I was to tie a stone round the child's
beck, and throw them both into the river, about two yards
tern the bank, near Mode Wheel Mill; a distant church
clock at the same moment chimmed twelve." Greenwood
accompanied the prisoner to the place where she mentioned,
and she pointed out the place where she had thrown the
Child into the river, and where it was afterwrrds found.
Witness found some pawn tickets on the prisoner relating
to some baby's clothing. The prisoner, who seemed very
deeply affected by her position, was then remanded till
Tuesday next.
