DEATH OF JOHN CARRUTHERS, THE CELEBRATED
WRESTLER.—This celebrated wrestler died yesterday
morning in St. Thomas's Hospital, in the 41st year of
his age. The cause of his death was a severe attack of
jaundice.
LOYAL UNITED FRIENDS.—On Monday evening
last the stewards of the last anniversary dinner at High
bury Barn partook of a supper at the Griffin, Leonard-
street, Curtain-road, Shoreditch, when a numerous body
of the stewards sat down to an entertainment which re-
flected much credit to the worthy host, P. S. I'. Price.
P. P. Burns and P. S. P. Wells officiated as chairman
and deputy, and were supported, among others, by P.
P. Clowes, P. P. Bull, P. P. Fawcett, P. P. Hayward,
P. I'. WitliamF, P. P. Fitzgerald,- P. P. Boggis, P. P.
Harris, P. P. Soper, P. P. Hull, P. P. Murdon, and P.
Burgess, of No. 15 Lodge. After the usual toa,ts
had been given, and properly responded to, the chairman
gave " The Order of Loyal 'United Friends, awl may it
prosper as long as time shall exist." This toast was re-
ceived with tremendous applause. The Senior Steward,
General Secretary Shiers, in a neat speech, proposed
" The Ladies and Friends who were kind enough to
favour the Stewards with their company at Highbury."
After which P. P. Murdon and P. I'. Pike gave a very
pleasing recitation, which was well received. " Success
to the Charitable Funds of the Order," and "Prosperity
to the Gift Funds, were aft.rwards given, and received
with much enthusiasm. The healths of the Chairman,
Deputy, Senior Steward, Host, and P. Burgess were in
the course of the evening drunk with great honour, and
severally acknowledged by the parties in short but ap•
propriate speeches. Several amusing songs were sung,
and the company, at a late' hour, adjourned to their re-
spective homes, in high spirits. This important social
order now comprises about 12,000 .members, with 30
lodges,and 15 highly-flourishing gift funds, and 5,0001.
stock.

SUDDEN ILLNESS OF , EARL JERMYN.—Much in-
terest and concern have been manifested by ull classes
and parties in this town, in consequence of the serious
indiseosition of this universally esteemed nobleman.
His Lordship came from town on Friday,. and on that
and the following day proceeded with his canvass of the
electors in conjunction with Mr. Twiss. On Saturday
evening he and his colleague met a party of friends at
dinner at Hardwicke House, the seat of the Rev. Gir T.
G. Cullum, Bart. Early on Sunday morning, at Ick-
worth, the Noble Lord was seized with a viorent attack
of English cholera, with severe cramps of the legs, great
prostration of strength, and other symptoms of the worst
form of that disorder, so-as for some hours to occasion the
most serious apprehensions in the minds of his medical
attendants. Towards evening the symptoms abated
under the remedies prescribed, and since then we are
happy to be able to state that his Lordship has
been going on so favourable as to warrant the best
anticipations of an early recovery.—[Tuesday, one P.M.
—his Lordship is better this morning, but he will be
unable to take any part in the election proceedings.]—
Bury Herald.
ALARMING FIRE AND NARROW ESCAPE.—Yester-
day morning, at an early hour, the premises of Mr.
flawburt, general dealer, No. 2, Belne.place, Blue
Anchor-road, Bermondsey, were discovered to be on fire.
.
An instant alarm was raised, and after considerable
trouble the inmates were aroused from their slumbers;
the fire, by that period, had obtained a strong hold of
the lower part of the premises, and owing to the intense
heat, and the suffocating nature of the smoke, it was
with the greatest difficulty that the several parties re-
siding in the house could effect a safe retreat. As it
was, they had not sufficient time to dress themselves, but
were obliged to rush into the street in their night-
clothes. The engines of the London Brigade, parish,
and West of England office quickly attended, and there
being an abundant supply of water flowing from the
mains in the district, the firemen set the engines to work,
and by pouring a copious stream of water into the midst
of the flames, they were soon extinguished, not, however,
until the premises and the stock in trade therein, toee-
ther with the furniture, were severely damaged by fire,
&c. The origin of the outbreak could not be learned.
Had it not been for the timely discovery, it is quite pro-
bable that every person in the building would have bees
burned to death.
HR ROUGHAM OAK.—A few days since one of
the finest oaks in Rougham park was felled, having
been purchased to form the stern of a man-of-war. The
ponderous load was conveyed on three trucks over the
Eastern Union and Eastern Counties Railways, on
Thersdey last, to London. its weight, we understand,

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. t
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was steady,
without much business being dune. Sales 3,500 bales,
including 3,000 bales American, at 6d. to 74d. per lb.
In Railway Shares there was very little doing, but the
quotations were firm.
The Share Market was rather firmer yesterday,'
and rather more business doing. We subjoin a few of
the quotations at Mesrs. Lamond and Co.'s weekly sale
of Shares:—

The Money market is still rather tight, and there is
some controversy as to whether this will continue. In
the opinion of many, the Bank will exercise great caution
still, and accommodate, principally, the middling class of
merchants.
The American advices by the Caledonia, are cheering
in reference to the supplies of grain and flour which
we may expect, and as prices are declining on the
other side of the Atlantic, our supplies will not be so
costly. Indeed a good harvest here will soon relieve
us of the necessity of importing much more, and the
present " pinch " therefore, may prove the tightest
of the year. The exchange at New York was about
1064.
We regret to hear that trade was very dull in Canada,
and that "everybody is complaining," as one party writes.
Flour had been down to 31s, per barrel, and freights
were in gcod demand at 6s. 3d. to Liverpool, and 6s. 6d.
to London and Glasgow. Exchange for private bills at
ninety days 61 per cent. premium.
The difference in tonnage at Quebec between this and
the corresponding period last year is as follows :

As was to be expected, the transactions in the Stock
Exchange to day are of but a limited character, and the
market continues firm. Consols have been 88i 4 for
present transfer, and 89 to 89k for account. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been quoted 904
to 91. Bank Stock is firm at 196 k to 198. Exchequer-

in. Dutch Two-and-a Half pc r Cents, have been 57k.

Railway Shares have been quiet, but are better. The
