MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was ra-
ther quieter. Sales, 3,000 bales. There was a larger
choice of samples at Sid to sid per lb. Railway
Shares were steady, but not brisk.
The foreign accounts received by the continental mails
are received as being in some respects more favourable;
and there is importance attached to the declaration made
last night in Parliament by Lord Palmerston, that a
good understanding prevails between England and
Austria. Public feeling is influenced now by the events
of Italy to so great an extent, that any assurance of the
kind is well-timed. The state of matters at Paris, how-
ever, is not so assuring, as the Reform banquet appears
to be persevered in, despite the alleged differences in the
ranks of the Opposition.
The Money Market is easy, !although rather better
employment for spare cash is found in the produce
markets, and in business operations generally. Consols
are 89-k to for present Transfer, and 891 to for Ac-
count. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have
been 904 to There is, therefore, a better market for
stocks, and this notwithstanding the limited business
doing. An influential broker has been a buyer of about
50,000/. Reduced Stock. East India Stock has been at 245;
Exchequer-bills of June have marked 235. to 27e. pre-
mium, and those of March 18s. premium.

DREADFUL SUICIDE OF THE MOTHER OF SEVEN
CHILDREN.—On Sunday morning last the neighbour-
hood of the Old St. Pancras-road was painfully
excited by the perpetration of the crime of self-destruc-
tion by a respectable married woman, named Ellen Dove,
aged 44, residing with her family, at No. 34, Upper
Cambridge-street, Agar Town. It appears that the un-
fortunate woman, who is the mother of seven young
children, had been ailing for some time past- She re-
tired to rest on Saturday night with her husband shortly
before twelve o'clock, and he held a conversation with
her as late as three o'clock yesterday morning, when she
complained of sickness. Shortly before seven o'clock
deceased's eldest girl, about 14 years of age, on entering
her parent's bed-room was astonished to find her
mother absent, although her clothes were lying by the
bedside. She awoke her father, who appeared equally
astonished at the absence of his wife, whom he had not
until that moment missed from his side. The back
garden of the house extends to the banks of the Regent's
Carel, and the footmarks of a female without shoes or
stockings were clearly traced to the water edge, and the
shallow water enabled them to perceive something lying
at the bottom of the canal. An alarm was given and
police-constable 358 S, assisted by a man named George
Heate, succeeded in recovering the body, which proved
to be that of the unfortunate mother, attired merely in
her night clothes. She bad been dead some hours, and
the body was conveyed to St. Pancras Workhouse, where
it awaits a coronr's inquest. The deceased and her
husband were, it is stated, upon good terms with each
other, and no cause can be assigned for the perpetration
of so determined and so rash an act.
MURDER IN BIRAIINGHAIC—BIRMINGIIANI, THEE-
DAY,—Last night a woman named Hallen, about forty-
five years of age, was murdered here under the follow-
ing circumstances :—She was the wife of a travelling
chiropodist, who. lodged with her at the Winden Tavern
public-house, in Lower Winden-street, and it seems that
yesterday morning he left home for the purpose of going
into the country for a few days ; the deceased, accom-
panied by another woman, afterwards went to various
public-houses, and at a house in Stafford-street they met
a couple of navvies, with whom they conversed, Hellen
being at that time in a state of intoxication. In the
evening she was seen talking to a man in Woodcock-
street, and words were heard as if the pair were quar-
relling; a few minutes afterwards she was seen to fall
and exclaim, "I am killed." Assistance was rendered,
and the unfortunate woman taken up bleeding profusely
from a small punctured wound in the face. She died
directly afterwards. The murderer escaped, and no clue
remains likely to lead to his detection.
WHITTINGTON CLUB. The third anniversary
soiree of this excellent institution went off last night
with great éclat at the now club-house in the Strand, at
the Crown and Anchor Tavern, of which the cornflour
have recently taken pcHsession. Mr. Douglas Jerrold,
presided, and the entertainments commenced at an early
hour with appropriate addresses from the
,chairman, r.
Bowring, M.P., Mr. C. Lushington, ALI., Mr. George

Thompson. With the speeches were intercalated the
several parts of a miscellaneous concert, performed, in
capital style by Miss Dolby, Miss Sabin Isi a ovello,
Messrs. Carte and Alfred Novello, and last, not least,
the ever popular John Parry. Dancing commenced
shortly after ten o'clock, and wound up the festivities of
1 the anniversary. About 750 pQrSQIIII were present,
newly half of whom Wm Mite,
