COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

NEW-YORK, OCT. 22, 6 P M
the Europa's mails from England to Oct. 9, which were
delivered here this morning, are anticipated by a later des-
patch, by four days, from the Galway steamer at St. John's,
Newfoundland. The publication of this news, which,
financially, is probably the most buoyant we have yet re-
ceived, had the effect to further stimulate our Stock Ex-
change; as well as to increase the anxiety of private money
lenders to employ their surplus means even at the lowest
rates of interest now prevailing en demand loans. The dis
count brokers are doing but little to-day in the way of
mercantilebills. Most of the good paper offered is taken up
at bank. The stockbrokers get money, on call, at from 3
to 4 per cent.
The exchanges for the European packet sailing to-mor-
row were done to-day at 109 i to 110 for bank bills on Lon-
don, and 1091 to 1091 for merchant bills. Francs are
cheaper, ranging 5.161 f. to 5.12 ff. to the dollar.
The market for railroad shares hasinaproved materially
during thelweek. The transactions have been large in New
York Central Shares, Chicago and Rock Island, and Galena
and Chicago. Few are yet quoted above par, viz., Panama
119 to 119 k, New Jersey 129, Newhaven and Hartford 1171
to 1181. Michigan Southern Guaranteed Stock is quote
531 to 54. Stonington 69, Delaware and Lackawanna 25
to 30, Macon and Western, 78 to 80, Pennsylvania Central
86 to 87. Since the close of last week New York Central
has improved 1, Reading I, Hudson River lf, Michigan
Central f, Michigan SOuthern 1, Panama 1, Illinois Central
31, Chicago and Rock Island 21.
The sales in cotton embraced about 1,000 bales, closing
without change in prices. A private despatch from Mobile,
received yesterday, quoted middling cotton at 111 and
freights at 15-32. Flour was in good supply and prices
under foreign advices per Europa were heavy, and common
grades were easier, while the higher class of brands were
unchanged. Sales were made to a fair extent. Wheat was
heavy and lower, but with more inquiry at the decline.
Corn was heavy and cheaper. The sales embraced Western
mixed at about 621 c. a 621 c., and prime yellow do. at 71c.
Pork was less buoyant and active, with sales of mess at 16
dols. 35c. al6 dole. 49c., and prime at 14 dols. 10e. Beef
was steady. Sugars are without change of moment, with
sales of about 400 hhds. Cuba at rates given in another
column. Coffee was steady, but quiet. The firmness of
freights to Liverpool was maintained, with rather more
offering.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 22.—Cotton active ; sales to-day
11,500 bales at Mc. to 111 c. for middling; the sales of the
week sum at 50,000 bales,. and the receipts 60,000 ; the
stock is 173,500 bales, against 104,600 last year; the re-
ceipts up to the present time, as compared with those of
last year, are 90,000 bales ahead.

A REASON 4.13 LE GUESS. —A tipsy Irishman, who

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

The judges in the Court of Queen's Bench heard several
applications this Morning., none of which possessed the
slightest interest. In the Exchequer Court their lordships
were occupied in hearing the arguments of counsel upon
the construction of the terms of a lease. In the Common
Pleas the Attorney-General commenced his arguments in
a case concerning the right of the Great Western Railway
Company to fix the rate at which parcels should be carried
between London and Reading ; and Baron Bramwell was
occupied in the Nisi Prius Couu disposing of a case in
which the Metropolitan Saloon Omnibus Company sought
to recover the value of a horse that had been rendered use-
less by being struck by the shafts of a cart belonging to a
tradesman named North—all of which cases were devoid of
kteres t.

In the Bankruptcy Court, this morning, H. and J. Bald-
win, lately carrying on bui3iness as tailors, in Cornhill,
received their certificates of the first class.

THAMES.

William Keaster was charged with committing an assault
upon Police-constable No. 176 K. The offence wasproved,
and the magistrate sent him to prison for 14 days.

SHOOTING MATCH.—An exciting match at par-
tridge shooting came off between Captain Alexander and
Captain Corrance, upon General Hall's estate at Weston
Colville, on Saturday last. The terms were that Captain
Corrance should stake £75 to Captain Alexander's £5O,
to kill the greatest number of partridges, in walking
turnip fields, from ten o'clock till four. It was agreed that
they should walk 50 yards apart, the one not to kill the
bird flying in a direction to the other, and all birds falling
out of the field not to be counted. The birds were very
wild and difficult to get at. Captain Corrance killed 67 in
first-rate style ; Captain Alexander killed 39 only. We

tween. Captain Corrance and a nobleman, for £5OO a-side,—

RAILWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS.

Geelong was the scene of high festivity on the
26th ult., the occasion being the official inaugura-
tion of the works- the Geelong and Ballarat ,
Railway. • A procession, luncheon, and ball were the
three chief collateral incidents of the event, subor-
dinate, of course, to the ininiatory " excavating and
navigating" which was performed by his 'Excel-
lency Sir Henry Barkly, in the presence of several
thousands of the citizens. The demonstration
passed'off most successfully. So excellent a begin-
ning, it was hoped, would have operated as a favour-
able induction to the real work, but only a few days
after occurred an event which completely dispelled
any illusion of the kind the holiday feeling might
have produced. A large number of the labourers em-
ployed on the line by Evans and Merry struck
work in consequence, as they alleged, of an attempt
on the part of their employers to introduce the
" truck and tommy" system. The contractors had
taken on a number of men, without in many in-
stances, it seems, having previously made any di-
rect stipulation as to wages. The men, many of
whom were in a state of destitution,-appear gladly
at first to have resorted to the board and lodging
accommodation provided by the contractors, but
subsequently disgusted by the reductions made in
their wages for this consideratien, they raised the
cry referred to and left their work. The grievance,
however, by.,some process of metamorphosis with
which we are unac painted, became converted in a
few days to one of a very different character from
\that which it had originally assumed. The cry of
" No truck, no tommy," was soon changed to one
for higher wages, and advancing their demands
from 7s. 6d. a day—the rate offered by the contrac-
tors—to 10s. 6d.

IMPORTANT CONVICTIONS.

Some cases of an important character came be-
fore the magistrates in petty sessions assembled
at Swansea on Thursday last, in connection
with the recent disastrous explosion at the Cy-
fing Colliery, near that town. Mr. Thomas
Walters, owner of the colliery, was charged, on
the information of the Government Inspector,
Mr. Evans, with several infractions of the rules
for the management of collieries—viz.:-1, for not
providing the steam boiler of the colliery with a
proper steam gauge ; 2, for not having an adequate
break attached to every machine used for lowering
or raising persons in the pit; 3, for not having a
proper indicator to show the position of the loadin
the pit or shaft ; 4, for not having an adequate
amount of ventilation in the pit. The defendant
pleaded guilty to the first three of these charges,
but denied the charge of insufficient ventilation.
Mr. Tripp, solicitor, of Swansea, in stating the
case, said the information had been lodged by the
Government Inspector of Collieries of the district,
under directions received from the Home Seen tary,
and that he believed but for the defendant's neglect
in the above particulars the late unfortunate explo-
sion in the colliery, whereby six men lost their
lives, would not have happened. The defendant's
answer to the charge was that he had left these
matters to his manager, Rees Tl:omas, and he had
thought they were properly attended to. The Bench
inflicted the full penalty in each of the three cases
to which the defendant had pleaded guilty, and
the fourth charge, therefore, was not pressed. Rees
Thomas, the manager of the colliery, was then
charged with violating the rules of the Act 18 and
19 Viet., by neglecting to give a copy of the rules
to each man in the pit. Mr. Thos. Walters, the
proprietor of the pit, proved that he supplied
Thomas with printed copies of the rules in English
and and Mr. Evans, the Government In-
spector, Welsh,prOved that, on the inquest on the six men
killed by the explosion mentioned above, ThomaB
deposed that he could not recollect giving a copy of
the rules to any of the colliers except to David
Tones. Several cases were gone into, and two wproved, two others being admitted by the defen-
dant.ere The ms;istrates inflicted-the full penalty of

THE POISONINGS AT BRADFORD.

BRADFORD, SATURDAY.
Three more deathshave this afternoon been added
Lo the fearful list of casualties arising out of this
awful catastrophe, making the total number of
deaths amount to 20. During the afternoon Mrs.
Stead, a woman residing in Croft-street, reported
to the police that her daughter, Jane Ainsworth,
wife of Jacob Ainsworth, of Wake-lane, Leeds, was
in Bradford on Saturday night last, purchased
some lozenges at Hardaker's stall, and took them
with her to Leeds. She had two children aged
two and four years respectively, to whom she gave
some of the lozenges, which they ate. She also
ate some of them herself, and all three were taken
ill, and died this morning. Mrs. Ainsworth was
34 years of age.
This morning three inquests were held by Mr.
Dyson, coroner, at Heaton, Low Moor' and Little
Horton ; that at the latter place being held at the
Punch Bowl Inn, on the body of Benjamin Crab-
tree, aged 16, son of Andrew4Crabtree, power-loom
weaver, Jacob-street.
The Coroner suggested that all that would be
necessary would be to call witnesses to identify the
man of whom the lozenges were purchased, and
then to prove the cause of death, after which they
could return a verdict that the deceased had died
from poison.
The jury acquiesced in this course, and Richard
Standring stated that he accompanied the' deceased
on Saturday night to Hardaker's stall, and pur-
chased a halfpennyworth of lozenges. He was
served by John Broadley Edmondson, Hardaker's
assistant.
Mr. John Beach, surgeon, said he had made a post
mortem examination of the body of the deceased 60
hours after death. Externally, the body had a
healthy appearance. He examined the contents
of the stomach with the usual tests for discovering
arsenic, and found a considerable quantity of
poison. On the addition of the ammoniated sul-
phate of copper to the contents, there was a green
deposit, shelving the presence of arsenic

The Coroner again suggested the propriety of the
jury returning an open and formal verdict ; and
after a few minutes' consultation they agreed that
the " Deceased died from eating a lozenge which
contained arsenic powder."
The inquests on the bodies of those who died
within the borough are to be resumed on Tuesday.
A subscription has been opened on behalf of the
families of the sufferers, who chiefly belong to the
working classes. The Mayor, Mr. Henry Brown,
headed the list with five guineas, and in a short
time afterwards 36 guineas 'were put down ; but
there is little doubt but it will be greatly aug-
mented when it becomes generally known.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
fairly supplied with wheat. All kinds were very dull, and
prices ruled in favour of buyers. Fine barley and oats,
the supplies of which were limited, realised full quotations,
but all other articles were very dull.
Throughout the continent wheat has commanded very
little attention, and prices have had a drooping tendency.
Spring corn has been held at fully previous rates.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last .week
were tolerably extensive. From abroad we received 15,914
qrs. of wheat, 8,254 barley, 14,386 oats, 2,106 beans, 220
peas, 95 tares, 6,810 linseed, 3,304 rapeseed, 3,975 sundry
seeds, and 3,284 sacks of flour.
Fresh up, to-day, both from Essex and Kent, coastwise
and by land carriage, the arrivals of wheat were very mode-
rate ; hence, the show of samples of both red and white
wore small. The attendance of millers being on the increase,
the demand for all kinds ruled steady, at prices fully equal
to Monday last, and at which a good clearance was effected.
The general quality of the samples were tolerably good.
There was a large show of foreign wheat. For good and
fine parcels the d :mand somewhat improved, but we have
no advance to notice in prices. Low and damp qualities
sold slowly, at late rates

Floating cargoes of grain supported last week's quotations.
For fine barley we had a steady sale, at very full prices ;
but the value of other kinds was somewhat uncertain.

There was a large supply of foreign oats on offer, and the
demand for most kinds was rather inactive, at barely
stationary prices.

For beans and peas the inquiry ruled steady, at full
quotations.

Flour was in somewhat improved request, on former
terms. The top prise of the best town-made was 40s. per
280 lbs.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

The judges in the Court of Queen's Bench heard several
applications this morning, none of which possessed the
slightest interest. In the Exchequer Court their lordships
were occupied in hearing the, argumeuts of counsel upon
the construction of the terms of a lease. In the Common
Pleas the Attorney-General. commenced his arguments in
a case concerning the right of the Great Western Railway
Company to fix the rate at which parcels should be carried
between London and Reading; and Baron Bramwell was

they should walk 50 yards apart, the one not to kill the

within a few miles of Melbourne, but the opera-
tions employ only a very few men.

RAILWAYS AND PUBIrIC WORKS. •
Geelong was the scene of high festivity on the
26th ult., the occasion being the official inaugura-
tion of the works •of the Geelong and Ballarat
Railway. A procession,luncheon, and ball were the
three chief collateral incidents of the event, subor-
dinate, of course, to the ininiatory " excavating and
