CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The Bank of England return completed to the
27th July exhibits very few changes of importance.
The bullion, however, has been diminished by
about a quarter of a million sterling, owing to the
remittances to the Continent, and the limited sup-
plies from Australia. In the Reserve of Notes,
there is a small falling off, and the Other Securi-
ties, owing to the increased demand for money,
show an augmentation, There is also a small in-
crease in the Public Deposits, and a decrease in
the Private Balances, while the Active Circulation
shows a contraction of about a quarter of a million
sterling. The various items, and the changes they
present, will be seen in the subjoined table :

The demand for money today has been steady
at previous rates. In consequence of the large
supplies available, the terms continue moderate,
and the inquiry, although it has lately increased,
has failed to impart much activity to the market.
At the Bank of England the applications are very
moderate.

In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon
the rates on Amsterdam and Hamburg were rather

higher.
At the Bank of England yesterday there were
no bullion operations of importance. Nearly the
whole of the £218,000 by the City of Baltimore
has been taken for the continent.

To-day a call of £3 per share, or £48,312, becomes
due on the Lancaster and Preston Junction Rail-
way shares.
Accounts from Liverpool report that the cotton
market yesterday closed steadily, and prices were
without material alteration.

A heavy tone has pervaded the market for Eng-
lish Securities to-day, the few transactions re-
corded showing a slight preponderance of sales.
Consols have, therefore, receded to 942 -I- for
money, and to 941 n for account. The Indian
Loan still exercises an unfavourable influence.
Bank Stock is firm at 223 ; the New Threes and
the Reduced are 95 to 951 ; the 5 per Cent. Annui-
ties are flat, at 110 ; and Exchequer Bills, at 28s.
prem. India Loan Debentures, 1859, have ad-
vanced to 91 1; and the Scrip is firm, at 941.
The transactions in Foreign Securities have been
of a very restricted character, but prices, in some
instances, are rather firmer. Turkish 6 per Cents.

per Cents. have advanced to 44 45 ; Peruvian 41
per Cents. are steady at 891 to 90 ; Spanish, at 44
and the Deferred at 321 ; Belgian 41 per Cents. are
flat at 971
The transactions in the Railway Share Market,
to-day, have been exceedingly limited, and in most
instances prices have shown a further downward
tendency. Eastern Counties and Midlands have
declined ss. ; North Western and South Western
10s. ; South Eastern 15s. ; and Great Western and
North Eastern (Berwick), £l.
The foreign and colonial lines are inactive.
Lombardo-Venetian Old Shares have improved to
10!, and the New Shares to 101. East Indian are
at 971 971 ; Grand Trunk of Canada at 321 33 ;
and Great Western of Canada at 141,14-1.
Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are
exceedingly dull. London Chartered of Austsalia
have improved ss. Ottoman Bank, ss. Union of
Australia and Electric Telegraph were at about
previous rates.

SHOCKING MURDER ON LORD DERBY'S ESTATES

IN TILE COUNTY LIMERICK.

DUBLIN., FRIDAY.— Yesterday, about two
o'clock p.m., a respectable farmer named
William Crow, of Cooga, county Limerick,
was brutally murdered while going to a fune-
ral. The unfortunate man was first shot through
the body, and afterwards his brains were beaten
out with stones. He was a tenant of Lord Derby's,
and voted for the Conservative candidate at the
last election. The murderer has not been appre-
hended.

Another account of this barbarous outrage runs
thus :
"I am sorry to inform you that another fearful
murder was committed yesterday. The victim was
a most respectable farmer, of the name of William
Crow, of Cooga, a tenant of Lord Derby's. He
was coming from his home to attend the funeral
of Thady Ryan, who had lived at Doone, and
about three or four hundred yards from the
police-barrack at Doone the unfortunate man was
fired at, and afterwards his skull was fearfully
mangled by sharp stones. All this took place
about two o'clock in the day, and all the people
profess the greatest ignorance of the matter. There
is a great suspicion that some of the fellows who so
lately murdered poor Edmund Murphy were also
concerned in this murder. That such disgraceful
occurrences should take place is not to be wondered
at. Murphy's murder took place on the 28th of last
month, and as yet the Government have offered no
reward for the apprehension of his murderers,
although it is well known that there were five con-
cerned in it."
