MONEY MARKET.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

During the past week business in the various
manufacturing districts has been suspended, owing
to the Whitsuntide holidays. At Mancb.ester,
however, prices of both cloths and yarns have
advanced. The woollen trade of Leeds has been
dull, while at Bradford and Iluddersfiela no mate-
rial alteration can be recorded. in the hosiery
and lace departments of Leicester and Nottingham
the operations have been of a very restricted cha-
racter, and at Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wol-
verhampton increase.d dulness has prevailed. The
iron trade of SPuth Staffordshire, however, has
exhibited symptoms of renewed activity.
There was an active inquiry for cotton in the
Livervtiool market on Saturday, and prices tended
urfards. The sales amounted to 12,000 bales.

A call of £2 10s., amounting in the aggregate to
£206,250, becomes due to-morrow on the shares of
-the London,',Chatham, and Dover Metropolitan Ex-
tension Railway.

Notice has been given by the London agency of
the Commercial Bank of Cannada that a dividend,
at the rate of 7 per cent., will be payable on and
after the Ist pros.

The Pera from Alexandria has brought £76,000
in specie.

CITY NEWS-THIS DAY .

Two O'CLOCK.

The money market continues quiet, with ample
supplies for the requirements of the mercantile
community. The demand is necessarily limited,
owing to the continued &Illness of trade and the
absence of other descri-ptions of enterprise calcu-
lated to augment the general inquiry. The effect
of the preliminary payments and early calls upon
the shares of the new joint stock companies intro-
duced dnring tae last few weeks has now subsided,
and the -prospect of an immediate advance in the
rate PA'discount at the Bank of England has ceased
firr the moment to engage the attention of specu-
lators, and others more particularly interested in
the subject.

Rather more firmness has been perceptible in the
Stock Exchange Markets to-day, owing to an in-
creased demand on the part of speculators who have
been influenced by the improvement in the weather,
the übsence of further withdrawals of sovereigns
from the Bank of England, and the, easier aspect of
monetary affairs. Consols are Olt for money, and
911 for the account.

THE BLAtRYRIARS ROAD TRAGEDY.—It had
been intended to remove the bodies of the unhappy man
Mockford and his children from the house in the Black-
friars-road co the premises of the undertaker during the
night succeeding the inquest, and although it had been at
first gen:Tally supposed that the removal had actually taken
place. it subsequently became known that circumstances
bad occurred to prevent it, and that the funeral was to take
plane yesterday. In consequence of this large numbers of
o' people assembled around the house between one and two
.)'clock, and by half-past two, when the melancholy pro-
cession started, not less probably than 3,000 persons were
present, most of whom apparently belonged to the respect-
able classes of society. The three coffins were placed in one
hearse and two mourning coaches followed, containing re •
latives and friends of the deceased. The spectators stood
patiently and respectfully, never decreasing in number de-
spite the rain, and when the coffins of the children were
brought out of the house scores of women and young girls
were affected to tears. The procession moved slowly along
the road to Blackfriars-bridge, and then more rapidly to the
Ilford Cemetery, where the bodies of father and children
were interred together. No writing has been found about
the apartments affording any positive indication of Mock-
fore. s dreadful intention; but various little incidents have
come to light to show that his course was predetermined
as well as to justify the verdict of the
jury that the shock-
ing
domestic tragedy was the result
of mental aberration
arising from the loss of his wife.
ESCAPE OF THREE PRISONERS FROM HORSE
MONGER-LANE GAOL.—On Saturday morning throe -
noto-
rious convicts made their escape from Hor.:..enaon
er-lane
Gaol. The gaol authorities refitse give inforniation as
to the mode of escape, and all flat can be stated is that it
was effected with much ingenuity, and in spite of what
were considered the most satisfactory precautions. The
first of the three convicts is George Burrell, aged 24 years,
committed from Lambeth Police Court on the 3d of March,
to the -.tungsten Assizes, for burglary with violence, and
sentenced to six years' penal servitude. The second is
Charles Frost (alias Alfred Walker), formerly residing in
Grove-road, Brixton, committed from Richmond Police
Court, on the 28th March, 1862, convicted at the Surrey
Sessions for housebreaking, and sentenced to six years'
penal servitude. The third is George Rayson (alias Hack-
man), aged .29, who formerly resided at Victoria-place,
Poyla r, committed from Lambeth Police Court on the 2d
of April for larceny, and sentenced to six years' penal ser-
vitude. Up to Saturday not the slightest clue had been
obtained of the escaped convicts, although a most diligent
search has been made by the police, and a reward offered
for their apprehension.

The presentation of the freedom of the City to
George Peabody, Esq., unanimously voted by the Court of
Common Council on the 22d ult., will take place on Thurs-
day, July 10th.—City Press.

Incendiary fires are lamentably frequent in the
French colony of La Martinique. A large manufactory
and nine horses were lately burnt in a single night. One
of the incendaries, named Jean Baptiste, committed sui-
cide. The governor, in the hope of checking these terrible
Crimes, has declared that in future all incendiaries, or ac-
e°mPlioeB of incendiaries, who may be sentenced to hard
labour, shall be sent to Toulon to undergo their punish-
ment.
