said as soon as he recovered he would take an oppertu-
ilitj of appealing to the public.
Mr. WAaLEY asked the jury if they were agreed on
their verdict ? It was evidently, he said, an accident.
The Foreman (Mr. Hall) replied they all concurred
in the opinion and remarks of the Coroner ; and a ver-
dict of " Accidental death" was accordingly returned.
No ladies or gentlemen connected with Drury-lane
Theatre were observed to be present. A gentleman,
however, of military aspect, was early in attendance,
and appeared to take great interest in the proceAings.

ONLY AND COMMERCIAL NE WS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was well
Btipplied, but prices did not vary, and the trade had a
flat appearance. Sales, 4,000 bales; viz., 300 Maran-
la,m, at sd. to sid.; 100 Bahia, at 5.1,d.; 200 Surat, at
ztd. to 20.; 100 Pernam, at 51d. to 6d.; and the rest
American, at 31d. to 44d. per lb.—Shares were firm. and
a fair busines was done. Chester and Birkenhead, 34f ;

A very numerous attendance of the public has ee
observed at the New Royal Exchange to-day. Asb farn
ag we have been able to ascertain the feelings of the visi-
tors to this really national "resort" of merchants,
Most unqualified approval is the current and general
feeling.
There are some accounts from the Cape of Good Hope
t4).claY;but we do not find that any articles of informa-
tion is them are of importance in a political point of
view. The export trade is well spoken of, and there is no
doubt that, with care and strict integrity, the colony will
"come highly prosperous. In the circulars of the wool
brokers, that have of late been issued, much commenda-
tion has been given to the recent imports of the fleece, and
they have urged the flock masters to pay the most espe-
cial attention to the condition in which they send their
Wools over to this country.
There has not been much business done in the Coneol
vairket to-day. The price for the Account has ranged
horn 1001 to 100 f ; for the Three per Cents. Reduced,
"n :100f to 1001 ; and for the Three-and a. Quarter
ter Cents., from 103 k to .1. The Commissioners
.ught about 15,0001 of the last mentioned securities at
'°ll highest prices of the day. The premium on Ex-
eacquer Bills is on the rise, 595. having been paid this
kl°llinb,,,—. Bank Stock has advanced to 209. The price
°f India Stock is. for the opening from 286 to 2861.
I3rasilian Bonds have improved to 89 this morning,
II there are hopes entertained, after all, that some
sett of compromise in the tariff lately received
r°4l Rio Janeiro will be effected in favour of
British goods imported. Spanish Bonds are rather
oWer than they were yesterday, the Three per
Cents, being quoted at Dutch Bonds are pretty
isteftd.T. The Converted Portuguese have advanced to
1; but the Mexicans are a shade lower.
'he Midland Counties Railway shares have advanced
10121 13 premium. The other railway shares are firm
raeerslly speaking; but not much business is doing to-
7. Santiago de Cuba Mine shares are at 14 premium
pershare.
