MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL
INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales
,of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 2,000 were taken
for export and on speculation. Railway Shares
were without alteration in prices.
The return of the Bank of England for the week,
to the 9th inst., was characterised by numerous
changes, the result of the quarterly dividends and
other payments. In the amount to the credit of
Government there was, consequently, a large re-
duction, while private accounts of depositors were,
for the same reason, sensibly increased. The re-
payment of loans made while the transfer books
were shut, caused a large diminution in the item
of other securities, but while the circulation of
notes was brought out by the dividend payments,
there was an addition to the bullion owing to the
arrivals of specie from abroad. Compared with the
previous week, the changes are as follows :

THE CITY GRAVEYARDS.—On Thursday Lord Palmer-
ston gave notice, under the provisions of the 14th and
15th Victoria, intituled an Act " for the Removal of
Nuisances and Prevention of Epidemics," to the parochial
authorities of St. Edmund the King, St. Nicholas Aeons,
Allhallows the Great, Allhallows the Less, St. Lawrence
Jewry, and St. Mary Magdalen, all in the City of Lon-
don, that on the 14th of May an order in Council would
issue closing the graveyards of those parishes against all
further interments.
THE STALLS IN TOTTENHAM-COURT-ROAD.—Last night
a meeting of tradesmen carrying on business in Totten-
ham-court-road was held to receive the report of a de-
putation which had waited on Sir Richard Mayne, in
favour of the stallkeepers in that thoroughfare who are
under terror of expulsion from their standings. The
deputation said that Sir R. Mayne had received them
courteously and said that the police should not act exe-
cutively in the matter, but if called to aid the Paving
Commissioners, who were the real authorities on this
question, they must do so. For his own part, he was in
favour of a gradual and natural abatement of the obstruc-
tion, by death or removal of stallkeepers whose places
should not be filled up. This statement was received
with satisfaction by the meeting, especially as coming
after the expression of Mr. Bingham's opinion on the
same side, and it was agreed to canvass the shopkeepers
on the subject; in the hope of making an impression on
the Paving Board.

Brother to the Mountain Deer, and few days
two-year-old

threw their boys, one of whom had his brains kicked out
on the spot, and the other so severely injured that it is
reported lie has since died.
BURSTING OF A STEAM BOILER AND LOSS OF LIFE.—
A large waggon boiler, supplying the power required for
driving the machinery in the spinning-mill of Messrs.
Harrison and Co., of Wilburn-street, Regent-road, Sal-
ford, near Manchester, burst on Thursday at noon, and
killed an unfortunate workman who was sitting near it.
The hands were all at dinner, and the machinery was
consequently at rest when the accident happened, or
the loss of life would have been much greater. The
boiler appears to have been constructed for low pressure,
and it was not worked at more than 81bs. to the square
inch ; but the accumulation of steam was such that the
bottom proved inadequate to withstand it, and a large
rent is visible in it in front, over the rivets. The boiler
itself was not displaced from its seat, nor was any por-
tion of the engine-house at all injured ; but when it
escaped, the steam seems to have ascended with great
velocity, and to have lifted off part of the roof of a
blowing-room above, and to have thrown down the
whole of that end of the building without even damaging
any of the remaining windows. Three children in an
adjacent playground outside the mill were injured by
the falling bricks, but not dangerously. At the time of
the rupture, Richard Williamson, a warehouseman, was
sitting in front of the boiler, eating his dinner, and he
was scalded to death by the steam and hot ashes which
were forced out of the fireplace. He was found lying
upon the coal-heap quite dead, after the smoke, steam,
and dust had cleared away.
