DEATH OF MRS. FITZ WILLIAM.

411
We regret to state that this popular actress
at six o'clock yesterday evening.
Mrs. Fitzwilliam, as we learn, had been indisposed'
for about a week past with diarrhoea ; but, as the attack
presented no symptoms of immediate urgency, she un-
fortunately neglected to take sufficient precautionary
measures, and pursued her professional engagement,:
as usual. She even played on Saturday night wit
her usual vivacity. Early on Monday morning the,
disorder assumed a serious character, and,
ins
pite under
every effort to save her, Mrs. Fitzwilliam sank under
the attack at the end of about 12 hours. expired

are announced to appear on the occasion.
POLICY OF THE RUSSIAN SOITEREIGNI3.—It was the
aim of the Russian Sovereigns who founded or restored
the cities of their southern empire, to revive and perpe-
tuate the glories of a far distant age. The names of
Sebastopol and Eupatoria were intended to carry the
mind back to the time when the language and dotninion
of Greece prevailed on the shores of the Black Sea, and
thus to prepare the neighbouring races for the eventual
assumption, by Russia, of supremacy over all the votaries
of the Greek form of the Christian faith. The policy of
the Czars in this respect was undeniably sagacious, and
it is impossible to pronounce the names they have be-
stowed upon their new creations without being reminded
of the ancient splendour of the Byzantine and Macedo-
nian empires, and of the earlier and purer fame of the
free republics of the Hellenic tribes.—Morning Chronicle'
Tan FAREWELL BANQUET AT BOULOGNE.—We under-
stand that the account which we published yesterday of
the farewell banquet given by the Emperor _Napoleon
to Prince Albert was erroneous, so far as regards the
speeches stated to have been delivered by the Imperial
host and his royal guest. Our correspondent, who
could not have been present on the occasion, must
have been misinformed on the subject, no such speeches
having been made either by the Emperor or the Prince.
In fact, there was nothing, we are assured, on o

MONEY MARKET

AND
'OM MER CIA L INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Tu o o'CLOCK.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday
were e stimated at 7,000 bales, including 1,000
Americ an taken for export. The market was steady,
but cic used without spirit at previous rates. The
sales cc unprised 4,500 American, 150 Pernam and
/farmll lam at 6d. to 61d., 400 Bahia at qd. to 61d.,
400 Egyptian at 5/d. to 6/d., and 600 Surat at
3d. to Ad. per lb. Railway Shares were firm, and
prices 1 lad an upward tendency.
The continued prevalence of contrary winds
keeps ( )ut a large number of vessels that are in the
Chann el, and among them are supposed to be seve-
ral fro m Australia.
The accounts received from the United States,
and d .elivered iu part this morning, are so exclu-
sively • occupied with the cc drought" question
that the money-market does not receive in many
of ti le journals the customary attention. At the
late st date, however, the 29th ult., there was
gr( ater ease, and the New York Banks had increased
th eir specie without too violently contracting their
lc ,ans. At New Orleans likewise, there was more.

► itating :
" Since the date of the last report but a very moderate
amount of business has been transacted in exchanges.
The demand has been very limited for all descriptions,
though at the same time we would observe that the
offerings have been exceedingly light. Bills on England
are only sought after for remittances, as the rates claimed
are altogether too high for exchange purposes. Drawing
of A 1 bills ask 101 to 101, but so far we have heard of
no sales higher than 101 per cent. Bills on France sell
slowly at from 5.071 to 5.15 per dollar, according to
names. Time bills on the North have been in but very
moderate request, the market still ranging widely. Sight
funds are lower—several large transactions having been
made yesterday at from Sto a per cent. premium. The
banks, however, still ask 1. per cent., but are willing
sellers. Money is quite plenty, and good short paper
scarce. We quote sterling 94 to 10 and 104 per cent.

and Boston, 60 days, 1 to 1 and 2 per cent. discount.

It may be necessary to state that " unparted bars" are
those from which the silver has not been extracted.
"Parted bars" contain only the gold, arid the reason of
the small demand for them is that parties who ire
the silver extracted prefer coin, as being moredes mer-
chantable.
Although the paucity of business in the Stock
Exchange is still a feature, owing to the very
limited attendance of members, prices are main-
tained with considerable firmness, and there is a
palpable buoyancy, which would lead to the infe-
rence of a further, even if a gradual;:rise being pro-
bable. The splendid harvest weather is manifestly
the prime mover, and while we are relieved from
further anxiety on this score, we have other cir-
cumstances operating in our favour, and promi-
nently the goodness of our revenue and the sound
position of our traders, free as they are from spe-
culative engagements. Consols have been up to
95g- I for transfer and account. Exchequer Bills
have realised 6s. premium, and the Bonds of 1859
have been done at 99/.
For foreign stocks there is not much inquiry.
Spanish New Deferred Bonds have been 182. and
the Committees Certificate is at 51. The accounts
this morning received from Madrid state that the
payment of interest on the debt which had been
suspended was to be resumed yesterday, the 11th
inst. There have been no bargains in Mexican.
Turkish Scrip has been 5a premium. Venezuela
Bonds are 25. Brazilian 4-i per Cents. have been
quoted 95& to 96. Belgian 41 per Cents. 91/, and
Dutch 21 per Cents. 62.
Higher prices than those obtained yesterday have
not, in all instances, been realised for Railway
Shares. The Great Northern have been in good
request, the Caledonian continue well supported,
and the Great Western are buoyant. The general
business of the share market has been restricted.
The French and other foreign lines are merely
nominal.
In the Joint-stock Bank Shares there have been
but few transactions. South Australia are a shade
higher. Not thergain is reported in the mining
market, and miscellaneous shares are dull.

ARRIVAL OF GOLD.—The gold brought by the
America yesterday amounted to 105,500/., being rather
a large total for
sum a vessel sailing from Boston. A further
considerable may therefore be expected by the
Arctic tomorrow. Much of it will probably be sent
to

whither it can now be remitted without loss.
THE STAMP ACTS. —A. Antedeputati of bankers, con-
sisting of Messrs. Masterman, , Glyn, Prescott,
Bevan, and Sir J. Lubbock,
uwpaointesdomupon the Chancellor
peootinwtsascotnonected
of the Exchequer yesterday
with the Stamp Acts. Their chief object
tain if the retrospective and consequently objectioesnaebelre
operation of the measure which comes into force on the
11th of next month, by which all foreign bills are to be
subjected to a stamp could be modified so as to apply
only to those dated on and after that day, instead of to
all that then fall due but it was stated that while there
would have been every disposition to accede to the
request as far as regards the question of revenue, the
clauses in the act are considered too explicit to admit
the desired construction. With respect to an inquiry
whether bankers may continue to give acknowledg-
ments without receipt stamps for money paid in or re-
remitted by their customers, and also to receive advice
from their agents of similar payments, the answer was
that they will still be free to do so.
STATE or TRADE.—In the manufacturing towns the
state of trade during the past week was almost every-
where satisfactory. At Manchester there was some di-
nainution of activity, especially towards the close, but a
favourable feeling prevails. The Birmingham report
describes renewed animation in the iron districts, al-
though the heat of the weather has continued to interfere
with the operations of the furnaces, while the transit of
materials has been impeded by lowness of water in the
.lanals. At Kidderminster a strike of the weavers, car-
ried on for a fornight, has resulted, as usual, in the men
returning to work upon terms less advantageous than
those first offered them. The Nottingham markets are
affected by the cotnmercial embarrassments in the United
States, but the borne demand for hosiery has been very
good. In the woollen districts the present is the dull
season ; business, nevertheless, is steady at firm prices.
The Irish linen markets remain languid.
THE LAMBETH BURIAL BOARD AND THE CLERGY.—
The increased mortality in the populous districts of
Lambeth, Kennington, and Vauxhall, has placed the
local authorities in a position of considerable difficulty.
Upon the compulsory closing of the grave yards, in com-
pliance with Lord Palmerston's order, the vestry voted
a sum of 10,000/., chargeable upon the rates, for the pur-
chase of a piece of land near Tooting, for parochial inter-
ments. The ground bas been open for interments for
some time past, and it is intended to erect a small chapel
in connexion with the cemetery, provision being also
made for the maintenance of a perpetual curate, whose
stipend will, to some extent, be defrayed by means of
burial fees. Until these arrangements can be completed,
the district clergy have undertaken the duty, upon a
distinct understanding that they are to be allowed com-
pensation, calculated upon an average of the last three
years, in lieu of the burial fees, which have hitherto
formed an important item of income. The new rector
(Mr. Lingden), after the morning service at his own
church on Sunday last, had to go down to Tooting,
where there were 2nerals waiting for sepultural rites,
some having been two hours on the ground, exposed to
the rays of a vertical sun, with the thermometer at 87
in the shade. The Burial Board have submitted the
matter to the Archbishop. of Canterbury and the
Bishop of Winchester, urging the appointment of a

CREMORNE GARDENS. Last night one of the 20
greatest aeronautic novelties ever produced in England
was brought out here. It was designed and finished
10
expresnly to give eclat to the Anglo-French fetes, which 20
were expected to take place about this time to cele- 40
20
brats the cordial union of the two countries,. and con-
-20
sists of three balloons, differing much in form and 20
size, but distinctly carrying out what the artist 20
wished to convey--viz., the efforts France and Eng- 20
land are conjointly making to preserve the balance of 5
power in Europe. The centre balloon is termed the 20
Universe, and is a very beautiful one of the usual shape. 10
The two supporters or attendants are colossal emble- 2_c
matic representations of England and France in a repos- 20
ing attitude as Justice and Plenty. The car which is suf- 8,
ficiently roomy to hold six persons, is placed in the centre, 1

and from its positionis calculated to give greater confidence 20
to a timid amateur; and also inse the comfort of the 20
more courageous adventurer. Tire inflation oft is very 6

company who complimented Mons. Hilleard by their

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—Yesterday an in-
20
at
quest was held by Mr. Langhain, deputy coroner, the
Ship, Millbank-street, Westminster, on the body of
Edward Burnett, aged 13, son of the clerk of the works, 50
to the Horse Guards, who was drowned on Friday last 50
in the river Thames. Deceased was a chorister at the 0
Canterbury Hall, Lambeth, and, in company with three 110
100
other youths, bad hired boats and gone up the river as
far as the Suspension-bridge at Chelsea. On their re- 20
turn the tide was running strong, and deceased, who was 50
an indifferent rower, ran his boat against a barge moored 20
25
in the middle of the river, whereby the boat was over-
turned and deceased was drowned. His companions ii.,,
swain to the boat, and contrived to stride across until ' ""'",,
taken off by the other lads who were in the second boat.
