()YET MARKET

COMMEriOTU (VT LLIGENiIIt

TWELVE o'CLocx.
The discount market is steadily active owing to
the payment of bills in connection with our trade in
India. Quotations for first-class paper are there-
fore well sustained, 3i 4 being the average terms,
though special transactions are computed at 31
Per cent.

Bar gold to the amount of £3,000 and 6,000
sovereigns from abroad was received at the Bank
Of England yesterday.
bSince the 9th inst. 15 cargoes of tea have arrived,
ot during the past week there has been a slightly
lllproved inquiry for most classes of Congou, which
have been comparatively neglected of late, owing to
ti large imports of Monings and Woopacks.
,ole uchonga are still very scarce, and there have been
few transactions in Oolongs since the 10th.
iewerY Pekoe is still without inquiry. Canton
Bcentecl teas generally have been greatly forced, both
2t Public sale and privately, and the quotations fully
Is t° 3cl- per lb. lower. In Foochow kinds there
/1° immediately perceptible change. Green teas
generally show some slight reduction of value, with
• quiet market, and the recent arrivals of best
.qualities alone command any special notice.
Price, of the firm of Price, Holyland, and
waterhouse, accountants, has been appointed by
lee-Chancellor Wood official liquidator of the Na-
„"esp.' Financial Company (Limited).
aln the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets,
liring the last few days,- there has been a fair
aslount of business transacted. Sugars have brought
filightly enhanced rates. Coffee has also been in
rod demand at full prices. Operations in tea have
been deferred until the public sales, which commence
bto-day ; while in rice there has been a moderate
usinegs reported. The dealings in tallow have
een rather inactive, but quotations generally re-
.lnain steady.
b.Anleng the most recent publications is the " City
addition
and Almanac for 1867." It contains, in
clitien to the usual almanac information, the
it'values, and addresses of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen,
t...11' Common Council, and officers of the Corpora-
-Bzi°ll, the City clergy, ward clerks, vestry clerks,
r, e," and much useful information, being a complete
hLrie to the various officers of the Corporation and
de, City generally. It is published by W. H. Col-
. rage, City Press, Aldersgate-street, and the pre-
tint issue is calculated to sustain the reputation of
4e
Publication.
the committee of the Stock Exchange have
day
Monday, December 3, a special settling
t,aY the Six per Cent. Debentures (1865) of
Lae Government

Bt4u Bonds of 1864 and 1865 ; Bombay, Baroda,
ltailway 5 per Cent. Debentures, 1871. The

I had just alighted at my own door at 12 this
morning, when I heard two or three piercing cries
in the street, and on running round the corner I
saw a young woman standing on a doorstep so en-
tirely covered with flames that only her uplifted
hands and her feet were visible. With the aid of a
rug and a great coat instantly given by a passer-by
we got the poor young creature down on the pave-
ment, and in a few minutes every spark of fire was
crushed out. We then doubled up a blanket, and
with the tender help of one or two strong fellows I
took her as on a stretcher to a cab close at hand.
The cabman refused to take the poor girl, and no
remonstrance of mine or of others would induce him
to open his door. As no time was to be lost (and no
policeman naturally was at hand), I immediately
cleared out my own brougham, and, gently laying
the miserable, half-charred girl on the knee of the
man who helped me to extinguish the flames, I
mounted the coach-box and drove to St. George's
Hospital. There I immediately obtained admission
for her, and we softly placed her in bed, scorched
and blistered from head too foot. She 'was—need
I say it?—in horrible agony, but conscious, and
gave her own simple account of the event perfectly
clearly. Her half-burnt rags of clothing were care-
fully cut away ; and, covered with cotton wool,
dressed and swathed after the kindest and skilful-
lest method, she lay an awful wreck of what half-
an-hour previously had been a handsome, well-
grown young woman. This was the work of a few
terrible minutes at mid-day, and I have this even-
ing just been to see the poor young thing die.
The publicity of the situation, the period of its
occurrence, in the broad daylight, and amid the hum
of a great thoroughfare, and the dreadful spectacle
of a poor young girl crying for help out a the
burning furnace she carried about her, make this a
sad and shocking event indeed. And I venture to
write to you the few remarks which on the instant
occurred to me while engaged in arresting the cruel
holocaust.

The girl's dress took fire behind, at an unguarded
bedroom fireplace ; hence it attained some force
without her knowledge. Mad with fright on its dis-
covery, she ran to the stairs, up which there is in
every house a constant ascending current which
drove the fire higher. Thence she rushed down,
still driving the flames upwards, until, reaching the
street door, she came into the open street, and then,
instantly fanned by the free air, she was ablaze from
head to foot. Let your fair readers take note of all
this, and learn that a few lost seconds of time, a
moment's wrong impulse, made a living sacrifice of
this fine young woman.

Then, when we had her on the pavement, it was
for me to learn how hard a matter it is to put out
all a woman's burning clothes. I found no difficulty
in putting out the blaze, but her poor limbs lay in a
heap of red-hot tinder. Only resolute pressing out
was of any avail, and I was obliged to get several
to assist me in squeezing out the horrible fire which
clung to what was left of her clothes. What was
left ? A blackened heap of rags, and the unburnt
wires of her crinoline—this was literally all.
I am not going to reiterate the old warhings
about crinoline, nor to tell women what they ought
to do when fire seizes them—they all know every-
thing we can tell them on these subjects; but 1
think few women have any notion of what we me-
dical men unfortunately know too well—namely,
that the affair is all over in a minute or two, that
this poor victim who now lies died, charred almost
to a cinder, might have escaped scot free had she
possessed the courage only to sit down on the flame
on the first instant of its discovery.
But, sir, I should very much like to have a word
with that cabman I spoke of, and if he be disposed
thereto he can very easily obtain it of me. Unfor-
tunately I did not take his number, or I would have
attempted to make that interview necessary to his
comfort. It is not the first time that, notwithstand-
ing my offer to guarantee all expenses, a cabman has
refused to take a poor sufferer from accident to the
hospital. I should like very much to know whether
a cabman can lawfully refuse a fare under such cir-
cumstances. But, whether it be so or not, a man
must be hard of heart indeed who could deny the
poor solace of a ride to an hospital in such a case as
that here narrated, the very crowd crying shame on
the man.

An Admiralty telegram received yesterday after-
noon at Portsmouth dockyard directed the imme-
diate coaling and preparation of the transpeits
Tamar, Capt. Sullivan, C. 8., and Orontcs, Capt.
Hire, for the embarkation of troops this morning
for conveyance to Ireland. Gangs of men were im-
mediately told off to coal the ships, which was to be
carried out through the night, as was also the issue
of all other stores required from the various store-
houses of the yard. Both vessels were to be ready
to embark the troops, understood to be twoiuiantry
regiments, by 8 o'clock this morning.
In accordance with a sudden order received from
the Admiralty, the following officers and men left
the headquarters of the Chatham division of the
Royal Marines, before daylight yesterday morning,
for service in Ireland, viz., Capt. J. F. Sanders,
First Lieut. O. Tracey, Second Lieut. H. S. G.
Schomberg, four sergeants, four corporals, one
drummer, and- 88 privates. The detachment pro-
ceeded by railway to Plymouth, where they will
embark for Queenstown, and be accommodated ou
board her Majesty's ship Frederick William, 74,
600-Lorge power, Capt. J. J. lierinedy, c. 13,
