CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet.
Sales 6,000 bales, of which 1,500 were taken for export
and on speculation.—The Share Market was rather bet-
ter, with more business doing.
The weekly return to the 6th inst. of the Bank of
England will rather disappoint in respect to the item of
bullion, a falling off having occurred, when an increase
was expected. The diminution, however, is but trivial,
and this week's arrivals will turn the scale again. The
circulation was diminished owing to the large sums paid
in to the Government account. The demand for money
had diminished, the other Securities being less in amount.
Compared with the previous week, the changes are as
follow: w

There was considerable firmness yesterday afternoon
in the rates at which bills of exchange were negotiated
upon the principal continental cities. Paris was taken
for 90 days' paper at 25 27i to 32i, Amsterdam at
11 19to 4, Ilamburgh at 13 9 to I, and Trieste at 11 55
to 57.

People begin now to discuss more generally the pro-
bable effect of the Australian gold discoveries, which
certainly assume a more questionable shape, the advices
to hand yesterday being to some extent a corroboration
of the previous accounts. There is, nevertheless, much
more information needed ere a full estimate can be
formed of the probable consequences, and it is
exceedingly doubtful whether any result will be attained
nearly equal to that of digging in California. Some of
the particulars, written obviously under great excite-
ment, contained in the Sydney advices to the month of
June, received yesterday, are very remarkable as to the
discovery of surface gold, but it is to mining that ex-
perienced parties mostly look for any large obtainment
of gold. The yield of silver in some parts of South
America, and in Mexico, if not keeping pace with the
production of gold, is at any rate being greatly ex-
tended, and this with other causes combines to keep the
relative value of the precious metals more even than
otherwise would be the case. Thus silver from the period
of the Californian discoveries and the abolition of the
gold currency in Holland and Belgium has been at high
rates, and it is only just now sinking to its former cur-
rency, one principal cause being the increased supply,
and another the absorption of so much gold in the
Pacific and other settlements by the new requirements
of commerce.

The amount of Silver exported direct from London
during the week, to Thursday last, was 13,690 ounces,
all to the Continent, and 13,0001. in Gold and Silver
were sent to South Australia.

The letters from Yorkshire received this morning
state that business was dull in Woollens, but at Man-
chester a good trade is doing in Cottons.
Tho Funds are weaker today, but with very little
doing. Consols have been 9531 and 96k, but aro now
95i for Transfer, and 95i to 96 for Account. The
New Three- and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised
98k. Exchequer-bills are 455. to 48s. premium.
Foreign Stocks are lower generally. Spanish Five
per Cents. bring 36{ to 37i; Mexican nominally 26i
to i; Sardinian Scrip, 2f to 2i- discount. Equador
Bonds are 31.
Railway Shares have been rather fluctuating and
generally droop. Great disappointment is felt at the
Diver dividend. North-Western Shares are lower by
about fto 4, and Great Western to i; Lancashire and
Yorkshire are better.

GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.)
John Smith was placed at the bar, before Mr. Alder-
man Finnis, charged with attempting to steal a port-
manteau, the property of Mr. Wm. Lawson.
It appeared that the prosecutor had engaged a cab
from the Euston-square station yesterday evening, at
eleven o'clock, and the cabman placed his portmanteau on
the outside of the cab. While driving down London-
wall the prisoner deliberately mounted the cab and made
an unsuccessful attempt to steal it. A police-constable
was called and he was given into custody, after having
made an ineffectual attempt to escape.
Alderman FINNIS committed him as a rogue and va-
gabond for three months, with hard labour.
The cabman was called into court, and after being
complimented by Mr. Alderman FINNIS for his having
materially assisted the ends of justice, was presented with
ss. for his loss of time.

CLERKEN WELL.-(THIS DAY)
Augustus Earlenbach was placed at the bar, charged
under the following circumstances :
It appeared, from the evidence of a policeman, that he
saw the prisoner, between three and four this morning,
lurking about Percy•square, and, having watched him
for some time, he asked him what ho wanted, when he re-
plied that "he would do something to get transported,
for he had left his place on Tuesday, and bad stolen a
hat." He took him to the station and made inquiries,
when he found that he had left a good situation without
any cause, and had stolen a hat, but the owner would
not prosecute.

The Alagistrate discharged him with a caution.

SERIOUS FIRES.-(THIS DAY)

During this morning four serijus fires have occurred
in various parts of the metropolis.. Cue fire happened
about three o'clock, at 31, Bidborongh-street, Burton-
crescent. At the time of the outbreak a number of

foreigners were in their beds asleep, and it was with
great difficulty that they could be aroused, as it was two
Frenchmen were obliged to make a precipitate retreat
almost in a state of nudity. The engines of the London
Brigade attended. The firemen eventually succeeded in
subduing the fire, but not until the premises were burnt
out and the whole of the furniture and wearing apparel
therein consumed. The total loss it is expected will ex-
ceed 1,0001. Mr. Barge, the proprietor, was partially in-
sured in the Sun Fire-office.
The above fire had barely been extinguished when
another broko out on the premises belonging to Mr.
Terry, a clothier and outfitter, No. 17 and 18, Well-
street, Wellclose-square. It commenced in the ground
floor, and when discovered the shop and parlour were in
flames. The residents, having been aroused, effected a
safe retreat. The engines of the parish, London
Brigade, and Wrist of England office attended, but the
firemen were unable to get the flames subdued until
nearly the whole of the stock in trade, &c., was de-
stroyed. Mr:Terry was insured in the Pheenix Fire-
office.

About an hour later another fire took place in the
premises of Mr. Hardy, a grocer, No. 24, Clifton-street,
Finsbury. It commenced in the shop, and was not ex-
tinguished until upwards of 1001. worth of property bad
fu•Pn detroyed. Mr. Hardy was insured in the Sun
Office.

The fourth fire happened in Stamford-street, Lambeth,
but the damage done was not considerable.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SU.N
SIR,—In The Sun of yesterday my attention was
arrested by a paragraph headed, " New Principle of
Ascertaining Vitality."
That the test in question is not new, I could readily
convince you or your readers, by extracts from my
lectures delivered in the medical school of this town in
the years 1834 and 1835 ; but I prefer to this course
the more legitimate one of giving you the authorities
to whom I was indebted for any knowledge which I
possessed—viz., Messrs. Schmidt, Bernt, and Chaus-
sier. Were a newspaper the proper medium for it, I
should gladly go more into detail, where a subject of
such acknowledged difficulty as infanticide is involved.
As it is, I must content myself with merely recom-
mending coroners and juries to be careful in attaching
undue importance to this or any other isolated test ;
as, unless supported by other facts, the grossest
error and injustice may be committed.—l am, Sir,
yours, &c.,

GEORGE FIFE, M.D.,
Formerly Lecturer on Medical Jurisprudence
in the N. C. School of Medicine.

Tax COFFEE QUESTION.—Much bas been said o

late as to the purity of this exhilarating beverage, and as
there are a variety of opinions, on this question,
we beg to offer a word or two for the advantage of our
readers. The Parisians are acknowledged the best coffee-
makers in the world, and are supposed to use chicory in their
preparation. The respectable houses in Paris do no such
thing; the real merit of their excellence being in the choice
of the berry, in the scientific way of roasting and mixing, and
finally, in the more careful manipulation. When chicory is
used, a practice only resorted to by proprietors of cafes
where inferior coffees are consumed, it is used only in the
proportion of about one ounce to the pound of coffee, with the
view of giving colour and body. In England, in most cases,
it is otherwise, the general custom of mixing these two ar-
ticles, the proportion of chicory being much greater in order
to darken the colour of the decoction, and they think it is
not good otherwise, whereas, the pure coffee is of a light
pale colour, similar in appearance to old port wine. If the
public were fully acquainted with this fact, we should soon
find our coffee dealers pay more attention to the roasting and
mixing of the berry, and follow in the steps of our continen-
tal neighbours. Of this fact we have lately had a convin-
cing proof in tasting the coffee at the French Coffee and
Chocolate Company, New Oxford-street, which has an aroma
and fragrance not to be surpassed in this country.
SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.—The directors have
resolved to recommend the proprietors to declare, at their
ensuing meeting, a dividend for the half-year ending on the
31st of July of Bs. per share, which, with the dividend de-
clared for the preceding half-year, of 10s. per share, will
make a dividend for the whole year of 3 per cent. The sum
of 65,000/. has been expended by the company during the
last half-year in the purchase of new engines and new car-
riages, of which 38,0 0/. has been placed to the debts of ca-
pital account, and 27,000/. to the debit of the fund laid aside
for renewals.

VICTORIA PARlC—Considerable improvement has
been effected in this park during the last few months, new
walks and shrubberies have been formed, and a public gym-
nasium constructed, and the ornamental water much im-
proved; and, by order of the Commander-in-Chief, one of
the bands belonging to the household troops attends twice a
week, the same as in Kensington•gardens The Commis-
sioners of Woods and Forests aro now taking the necessary
steps to construct a series of carriage approaches to the park,
which bids fair to become one of the most attractive spots in
the metropolis.

THE GIGANTIC UNDERTAXING."-It is gravely
proposed to erect a granite bridge, above two miles long,
" with baaaars, shops, &c., and a covered colonnade," across
the Severn at Black Rock or New Passage, to connect Mon-
mouthshire and South Wales with the West of England and
Bristol! So precious and scarce does building ground ap-
pear to be in that overcrowded district, that the very piers
and abutments are to be made "habitable"—by the fishes
we would have thought, were it not stated that it is in
" the upper parts" only that these habitants are to be pro-
vided—lor the gulls therefore it muet be. But whence the
twice two miles of shopkeepers are to come, much less their
customers, we are not informed. The " shops, bazaars, and
colonnade may be constructed principally of glass and orna-
mental metals, after the manner of the Crystal Palace, so as
to afford conveniences for the display and sale of artistical,
manufacturing, and natural results of all kinds, thereby
constituting a sort of permanent ' Exhibition' of the pro-
ducts of all nations—and for monuments and curiosities of
every description—and the bridge itself, like the Glass Palace,
would be the greatest morument and curiosity of the
whole!" especially when the glassbecame. as totally cracked
as the " . . . antic undertaking" Anil' is, on " the whole.'
