The markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce
reopened on Wednesday, after the Easter recess,
and the operations in most of the principal staples
have been more animated and at improved rates.
Sugars have advanced about 6d. per cwt., while
coffee, rice, and spices have fully maintained former
values. Saltpetre, however, has been dull, and in
tallow the operations have been very limited for
both present and forward delivery. •

Two O'CLOCK.
At the Paris Bourse this day, according to Mr.
Renter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were
70f. 15c.—Firm.

A decided improvement is exhibited in the
general situation of the Bank of France by the
monthly return issued to-day. An increase of
£1,306,666 has taken place in the bullion, of
£430,000 in the Bank-notes, and of £900,000 in
the current accounts. There is also, however, an
addition of £950,000 to the advances on stocks and
shares. An important feature is a reduction of
£430,000 in the bills discounted.

Very little change has taken place to-day in the
English Funds, and speculation has continued ex-
tremely quiet. Upon the whole, the tendency of
prices appears less favourable, notwithstanding the
easiness of money, and the flow of gold into the
Bank of England. Consols are now quoted 921 2-
for transfer, and 924 I for the account, being
steady.
Special activity has been observable in the more
favourite descriptions of Foreign Stocks, parti-
cularly Turkish Consolides, the scrip of the Confe-
derate Loan, Greek Bonds, Spanish Passives, and
the Certificates, but the best prices of the morning
have not been fully maintained. The Consolides
are now at 47 1 to ; Confederate Cotton Loan, 1
to 11 prem.; Greek Stock has been 281 8, and is
now 28i ; the Coupons, 131 to 1; Spanish Pas-
sives, 29f to d; and the Certificates, 108
In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
been limited, and prices have not varied to any im-
portant extent. Caledonians, Great Easterns, Great
Northerns, and Midlands have each receded about
58.
The Foreign and Colonial lines remain dull, at
about former quotations.
Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares show
no material change in values.

CRISIS OF THE REFORM BILL. There was in
the conduct of the multitudes at New Hall, Bir-
mingham, in the crisis of the reform bill, a manifestation
of religious feeling that ought to have deeply affected those
who han previously succumbed to similar manifestations.
When, at the sound of the bugle from the platform, those
heaving masses were hushed to silence, to listen to the
voice of Mr. Attwood, their chairman, the procession of
the Broornsgrove Union was observed approaching in the
distance. Then followed a scene which was perhaps never
forgotten by any one who witnessed it. The new-
corcers, as they advanced, were welcomed with the sing-
ing of " The Union Hymn," then familiar even to chil-
dren in every English household. It was now sung
by 100,000 voices, with a pealing melody and a thrilling
power which all the organs in the land could not equal.
- Immediately after the singing of this hymn, Mr. Salt
addressed the great assemblage thus :—" I call upon you to
repeat, with head uncovered, in the face of heaven, and the
God of justice and mercy, the following words after me."
In a moment every head was uncovered, and every voice
uttered slowly over that wide sea of human life swelling with
holy resolution, the words of the following plight :—"With
unbroken faith, through every peril and pivation, we here
devote ourselves and our children to our country's cause."
It was against this people, thus consecrating their energies
on the altar of freedom and of country, that the military
were commanded to rough-whet their swords, in order, as
the working clssses believed at the time, that in smiting the
people they might "inflict a ragged wound." According
to the Autobiography of a Working Man," this is how
the Scots Greys were occupied while they were shut up in
the New
Hall barracks at Birmingham on the Sunday after
Hall meeting. And during the whole time that the Duke
of Wellington was vainly endeavouring to form a Ministry,
the troops were kept ready booted and spurred, with the
saddles on their horses day and night.—Cassell's Illustrated
.711 story of England.
TILE CONDEMNED COI;VICT AT HEREFORD.—
lIEREFoRD, Thursday.—lt has now been fixed that
the convict William Hope, who was sentenced to death at
the late Hereford assizes for the barbarous violation and
underm of the young girl Mary Corbstt, is
to be executed in
frt of the county gaol on Wednesday next (15th). Ths
enormity of the crime, the circumstances under which it
was committed, and the previous bad character of the pri-
soner, preclude any hope of a reprieve—indeed no steps
have been taken with a view to a commutation of the sen-
tence The wretched man is becoming very penitent, but
as yet has made no actual confession of his guilt, although
it is expected that he will do so. '

ATROCIOUS MURDER IN ST. GILES'S.

' Some time yesterday, probably midday, a murder of the
most atrocious character was perpetrated in George- street,
St. Giles, one of the worst neighbourhoods in the metro-
polis. It became familiar to the public about 18 months
ago, in consequence of an attempt by a cabman to get a
3 oung woman, who had been drugged, and who had been
his fare, into one of the brothels there, whom he afterwards
robbed of her clothes and all the little articles of property
she had about her. In consequence of the resistance offered
by the person who was in charge of the house the cabman
was prevented from carrying out the worst part of his
design, and the disturbance occasioned the capture of the
fellow, who was afterwards punished for his brutal conduct.
The circumstances connected with the murder which
took place in the same wretched locality are not at the time
we write this morning very fully developed, but it seems
that at about 7 o'clock yesterday morning a man and a
young woman, whose name was Emma Jackson, whose
friends are reported to reside in the neighbourhood of
Berwick-street, Soho, went to No. 4, George-street, the
door of which was opened by a servant whom their knock-
ing had aroused from her sleep. The girl, half asleep, did
not take particular notice of the two people, and on the
man asking for a bedroom, they were shown up to the back
room on the first floor. As there was perfect quietness in
the room during the day no suspicion of any kind was
aroused, but at about half-past 5 last evening the servant
girl went up stairs, and finding the door unfastened went
in. On the bed she found lying the woman she had let in
the same morning, he throat frightfully cut, the bed all over
saturated with bl ,od, and the walls spattered with gore in
all directions. She immediately ran down and gave an
alarm to the police, and a medical man was instantly
sent for. On examination he found, in addition
to the frightful wound in the throat, which had
nearly severed the head from the body, a wound in the
front of the throat which bad severed the windpipe, and
was sufficient to cause death, another on the side of the
neck which had severed the carotid artery, and on the back
of the neck two other large stabs running obliquely towards
each other. All these had been inflicted with great force,
and it is very certain the girl had struggled desperately for
her life. No noise, however, was heard, a circumstance
which is all the more singular on account of their being
little coach traffic in the street. Moreover, the landlord,
whose practice it is to sit up all night, was sleeping all day
in the back parlour immediately under the room in which
the murder took place.

The man escaped, but by what means, or when, nobody
knows, but when the body of the murdered woman was
discovered life had become extinct, in, the opinion of the
surgeon, for six or seven hours at least. No instrument has
been found in the room, the man prior to his departure
collecting everything belonging to him so as to destroy all
trace of him. The woman appears to be about 28 or 30
years of age, and had on when she eame .to George-street a
dark bonnet and mantle and a sort of green striped dress,
Of the man, as before stated, nothing whatever is known,
although the police authorities say they have a clue which
they hope may turn out successful.
The body of the girl has been identified, and information
has been forwarded to Mr. Bedford, the coroner, who will
hold an inquest on the body of the murdered woman, pro-
bably this evening or to-morrow.
