UkSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER l9, 1848.

our city have been poisoned. For some time past a
bad feeling has existed between the Israelites of the
ancient faith and those of the reformed creed. The
Government had given to the whole commune one
rabbi, at the wish of the reformed Jews. This was
vehemently opposed by those of the ancient faith ;
the two sects became more and more alienated, and
the Jews of the ancient faith also demanded a rabbi
of their creed. A few days after this event they
commenced a violent attack upon the Rabbi COVEN,
entered his house, and insulted him in the open
street, and then the plan was conceived of getting
rid of him altogether. A Jew, who had gone into
the kitchen, threw a large dose of arsenic into a pot.
After dinner the whole family and domestics, in all
nine persons, fell ill. Medical aid was instantly pro-
cured, but the rabbi and one of the children are
already dead, and little hope is entertained of the
others. Several suspected Jews are taken, and have
been confronted with the servant, who, however, has
not been able to identify them.

MONEY znd COMMERCIA L NEWS.
C.l TY, Q DARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet.
Sales 4,000 to 5,000 bales, including 500 for export.
American ranged from 34d. to Sid. per lb. In railway
shares there was very little doing, but prices were a
shade better.
The accounts received to-day from the Continent add
nothing of importance to previous advices, but we learn
that the negotiations between the Belgian and Prussian
Governments were still in progress, with the view of
settling the plan of introducing at the rates of the old
tariff, the manufactures and products of countries
which have not recently adopted the bounty sys-
tem. It is said that one satisfactory result
already obtained is the appointment of several
towns at which goods imported into the aollverein
States may be verified as being truly the manu-
facture of the country whence professedly coming, and
to this end, certificates of origin will have to be trans-
mitted with the merchandise. The places decided upon
at present are said to be Aix la-Chapelle, Herbestal,
Cologne, and Steinfort in the Grand Duchy of Luxem-
bourg.
Letters from Leipsic of the 13th inst. state that the
workpeople in the manufactories at Chemnits had rioted
and killed and wounded several of the military and
civilians.
The Discount Market is reported to be very easy, and
the bankers were seldom in possession of such large ba-
lances, their customers evincing no inclination to with-
draw monies for purposes of investment, tempting as
are the opportunities in numerous instances, or of spe-
culation. It is not to be imagined, however, that this
state of things can last, because it is quite contrary to
the habit of moneyed men in this capital to suffer
their surplus means to lie idle and unproductive.
For a long time the mercantile community will keep
much larger reserves than usual, but this is no evils it
will rather tend to strengthen confidence and bring
about solid improvement. Looking then at all cir-
cumstances we shall expect, if political affairs do not
assume a worse complexion at home and abroad, some
revival of activity in the money and commercial markets
before long.
The firm of Trueman and Cook, owing to the
excessive depreciation in the value of produce, is
to delay the payment of the instalment due, 10s.
in the pound having been already paid, and we think the
determination come to, under the sanction of the in-
spectors, is both wise and honourable.
The English Funds have been rather better to-day, but
stil%with the same marked absence of business. Consols
have been 85i to 864 for Transfer, and 86i to for
Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are
861, with the dividend for money. Exchequer-bills of
June are 245. premium.
The Foreign Securities have been quiet. Spanish
Three per Cents. are 22i- to 23 ; Portuguese Four per
Cents. 22 ; Mexican 16i; Russian, 99i ; Belgian Four-
and-a-Half per Cents. 70i to 72 ; and Dutch Four per
Cents. 704.
Railway Shares are held for fuller quotations, and the
sales made have been at the improved rates.

PAROCHIAL REFORM EXCURSION.--ShOrtiy after
nine o'clock this morning a lengthy train of highly
f
respectable persons left the Waterloo-road terrninursv
the South-Western Railway for an excursion to nd..
sor, hatchet, Virginia Water, and other places, erl
be-
half of one of the most valuable of parochial societies_
the Parochial Political Reform Society of St. George
the Martyr, Southwark. Since its establishment, and
under the management of a well-selected committee 01:
gentlemen parishioners, many valuable services have bee
rendered to the inhabitants of this populous parish by
strictly scrutinising the various outlays of the parish
moneys, and an exposure of the various mismanagements,
to which, in some instances, the hard-earned taxes levied
on rate-payers of parishes have been subjected. Such!"
Society as this is worthy of example, as tending not
only to be beneficial to the tradesmen, but the
wealthy also.
SEVERE MEASURES MERCIFUL.—The Carlow SeflP;
tinel of Saturday says—" The greatest blessing that
could be conferred on the disturbed districts would be
the proclamation of martial law for three months; for
any law, no matter how unconstitutional, would be °pre'
ferable to that code enforced by bodies of semi-bar-
barians armed with pikes, and who disregard the laws of
God or the dictates of humanity—who fear not to rebeI. i
1
and to embrue their hands in blood—with famine anyd
pestilence, by the visitation of God, at their doors. "
is, however, gratifying to know that the Government are
on the alert, and the Executive must make a terrible
example of those engaged in these sanguinary outbreaks
before the country can settle down in tranquillity, or
security be guaranteed to industry and capital."
ATTEMPT TO SWlNDLE.—Yesterday a respectable"
looking man, who represented himself as a wester
cabinet maker from America, called upon a woman in
'him'
Musselburgh, who had a chest of tools to dispose of,
and offered toPurchase them; a bargain
cash with was made 13115
the man pretended not to have as
much
and hoped she would allow him to take the chest 1°
Edinburgh, and he would remit the money
next day.
The poor woman, not wishing to lose such a good chance
of disposing of the tools, proposed to go to Edinburgh
with him, and came accordingly; but when the arrived
at the station it turned out that the fellow had neglected
to provide himself with a ticket, and not giving a proPst
account of himself, was handed over to the police.--
IN'orth British Mail.
LARGE JACK CAUGHT IN THE NEW RlVER.—Yes-
terday a pike, weighing six pounds and three quarters,
was caught in the stream of the New River, within
twenty yards of the Railway Tavern (near to the station
at Broxbourne), kept by Mr. William Griffin. The cir-
cumstance is considered extraordinary, as it is but very
rarely that fish of this kind, of such a size, are caught
in the run of the New River waters so high up as 13rox-
bourne.
The practical joke of summoning the Prime Mi'
sister of the day to give evidence on the trial of William
Smith O'Brien, who caused a subpoena to be served upon
his Lordship just as he was about to leave Dublin, originated by the late Tom Steele.
BRIDGENORTIL—EXTRAORDINAET CASE OF A FA"
WILY POISONED BY ARSENIC.---A few days ago a
respectable family, consisting of eight members, re-
siding near the Cleo hills, Bridgenorth, nearly lest
their lives, under the following circumstances :—The
mistress of the house put some arsenic upon three or
four pieces of fat bacon for the purpose of poisoning
rats, and inconsiderately put the pieces on the bacon
rack suspended from the ceiling. The daughter, having
to prepare the dinner, and finding these small pieces,
without knowing they were covered with arsenic, cut
them into slices with more bacon. The family of eight
persons having dined, were immediately taken alarmingly
ill, with vomiting and other dangerous symptoms. The
mistress, remembering what sh had done, was imme-
diately aware that they were all poisoned. Mr. Owens,
of Ilaymore, surgeon, was instantly sent for, and fortu-
nately, by the judicious use of remedies, he effects of
efeed
the arsenic was overcome ; and the family have had
what they may consider a miraculous escape.—Her
Timms.

ACCIDENT ATTENDANT
ON THE EXECUTION AT
KIRKDALE. 0 Saturday
afternoon, as the joiners were
removing the platform and scaffold, at Kirkdale gaol,
after the execution of the unfortunate man Adams, one
of the workmen, who had his foot upon an iron rod and
his arm round the beam, accidentally slipped his hold
and fel! to the ground—a height of upwards of fourteen
feet. his head was seriously injured, and he was con-
veyed in a state of insensibility inside the gaol. The
surgeon of the gaol was not in attendance at the time,
but Dr. M`Doual, the Chartist convict, was, we learn,
brought with all dispatch from his cell, and, under his
direction, such remedies were administered as to remove
at least press nt danger.—Liverpool A/bion.
One of the essays sent by the candidates for a prize
offered for the best essay on the observance of the Sab-
bath, was written by the daughter of a labourer living

that Lord Ashley submitted it to the Queen, who has
granted permission for it to be dedicated to her.—Leeds
