MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS.
CITY, QUARTER TO TII Fi .
In the Cotton Market at Liverpool, yesterday, there
was no animation. Sales 4,000 bales. Railway Shares
were better.
Accounts from Belgium furnish the balance-sheet, to
May 31, of the Bauk there. The assets comprise—
specie 2,385,641 f., public securities and shares 8,318,638 f.,
and loans upon public securities 5,350,971 f. These
with other items make up a total of 37,401,993 francs.
The liabilities comprise the old and new capital of
27,138,945 francs, and with other items balance the ob-
ligations as above.
At the Netherlands Trading Company's Coffee sale in
Amsterdam, rather a large quantity was bought in, but
it was expected the last prices would induce private
purchases.
Small dividends are being gradually paid by the great
houses which suspended last year. Messrs. Barclay
brothers have declared 2s. 6d., and Messrs. Reid Irving
one shilling in the pound. Others will speedily follow.
The grain trade is dull to-day, and the arrivals are
limited, except of foreign barley.
The private advices, per Caledonia steamer, are not
expected to reach town to day, although we have ob•
tained something by telegraph, as she has arrived off
Liverpool. Peace with Mexico was not concluded.
The Continental accounts are still unsatisfactory in
many respects, although the French Government is
firmer. The Danish quarrel is looked to anxiously,
although many still indulge the expectation of an early
settlement. There is some curiosity also manifested to
learn whether the Spanish Ambassador here will receive
his congd, as it is indeed reported in some quarters that
he already has.
The English Stock:Market has been very firm again,
and still with an upward tendency. Consols with the
dividend and for special transfer have been marked 84e
to Ex. dividend and for time, the value is 828 to
834. Exchequer-bills have been quoted 395., and India
Bonds 16s. to 20s. prem. Balk Stock is worth 191.
The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 834
to 841.
In the Foreign Securities the transactions have been
small. Spanish Stock is heavy at a decline to 118 for
the Five per Cents, and 214 to 224 for the Three per
Cents. Mexican Bonds have been quoted 151 to 158.
Dutch Four per Cents. have been at 634. Grenada
Bonds are 121.
The Railway Share Market is rather firm to-day, but
with a very limited business doing.

FRIGHTFUL ACClDENT.—Yeste!day Mr. Bedford,
the Coroner for Westminster, received information of
the melancholy death of a fine yo,ung woman, only nine-
teen years of age, named Mary 9Birn, who expired on
the previous evening at the king s College Hospital,
from injuries received by burning. It appears that the
female in question resided in the neighbourhood of the
Waterloo-road; and of late she had taken to an unfortu-
nate course of life. About three o'clock on the morning
of the ISth ult. she accompanied a gentleman to No. 3,
Red Lion-court, Strand. They were shown into a room
on the first floor by the landlady, and in less than five
minutes afterwards the latter was alarmed by loud
screams, and a smell of burning, and on hastening up
stairs to the first floor she discovered the bedstead one
mass of fire, and the unfortunate woman running about
the room with her clothes in flames.
.The fire was even-
tually extinguished, but with great difficulty, and not
before everything in the room
.was consumed. The un-
fortunate woman, who was frightfully burnt about the
head and body, was immediately removed to the King's
College Hospital, where she lingered in excruciating
agony until death terminated her sufferings on the pre-
vious evening. Her companion made his escape by
jumping from the first-floor window into the court.
On Saturday evening a navigator passing through
the fields which lead to Ide village, observed a flock of
magpies and other birds fly up from the hedge near.
He looked more narrowly at the spot, and was shocked
to find the skull and legs of a child, the remainder of
the body being completely devoured and decayed. The
mangled remains were taken to Mr. Simpson, surgeon,
at Ide, who thought they were those of a child four

birth, within the last few weeks, in or near Exeter.—

1 HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
Perrot, as a e imagined he would do, has surpassed
I himself. The new ballet of Les Quatre ,S'aisons i:
' his chef dceuvre, surpassing even the pas de quatre
in the pas des D,'esses. The scene was a bsawatiu
conservatory, in which were found the most beautiful
flowers, the richest exotics, and the most exquisite
fruits. In the midst is a fountain playing, stir,
rounded by statues. Here the gambols of the
seasons took place. First advanced Winter (admi•
rably represented by Marie Taglioni), attended by
her nymphs; and then came Spring. And who re-
presented Spring? Who could represent Spring,
the most joyous of seasons, but that most joyous,
most spirited, and most natural of dancers, Cerito—
then came Sum Der, warm and languishing, grace-
fully personated by the graceful Carlotta Grisi ; and
then Autumn, rich autumn, loaded with fruit, repre
sented by Rosati, with that completeness and those
astonishing tours which so peculiarly characterise
her style of dancing. After each of these Delves de
la Dane has respectively danced her pas, in which
the peculiar beauties of the style of each are brought
prominently forward, the whole terminates by a
pas de quatre, which fully equals if it does not
surpass the marvels of that pas de quatre, which
three seasons since produced such a furore. At th,
the conclusion the four danseuses were called for,
and appeared, dragging on Perrot, the inventor of
this, perhaps, the most beautiful divertissement ever
produced. It was preceded by the opera of Lucia
with Jenny Lind as the heroine, and the crowds
who were attracted by the Swedish Nightingale,
remained until the conclusion of the ballet. It is
a work of supererogation to add that there was not a
single place unoccupied in the theatre.
The performances were yesterday evening honoured
by the presence of her Royal Highness the Grand
Duchess of Saxe Weimar, accompanied by their Serene
Highnesses the Princesses Anne and Amelie, and his
Royal Highness Prince Edward, and in the royal party

Cust, and Captain Somerset. Her Royal Highness the
