MONEY—MARKET und CITY NEWS.
FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
CHRONICLE.—There have been one or two failures an-
nounced to-day in the City ; houses of some standing, chiefly
connected with the Cape and Hamburg trade. A rumour has t
got abroad again that the Bank directors contemplate a reduc-
tion in the rate of interest. We do not give it as authentic, ,
or as to be depended on, but there are several circumstances
ehich would tend to justify the Bank parlour in adopting such,
a course. They are, of course, desirous to give the Govern-
ment a lift in their present difficulties ; and any course calcu- -.-1
dated to make money more easy is likely to give an impulse to
the dormant state of our labour markets. In the next plate. •
there has been a considerable and indeed forced export trade
for some time past against limited imports. Our -colonial .;
markets have been glutted with British goods, which have been
at ruinously low prices, and on .long credits, but those
credits are in course of being realised, while the prites at home
for articles of foreign growth or manufacture are so much 0.-- 4
duced, that they do not afford much inducement to foreigners ;
to supply us. Hence the exchanges have become favourable.
T 1 MES.—It is now some weeks that the Spanish bendy' ,
holders have been in daily expectation of seeing the proposed.,'
capitalization of the interest on the Active Debt publicly awl-
flounced, and unfortunately, from one cause or another, theill
I.ans been obliged to remain in continual suspense.
there were certain formalities in the documents by which
capitalization was to be affected, which required to be settled; •
then there was a delay in M. Salamanca's arrival; and thetis
when he did arrive, they were told that, as it was necessary -t°
announce to the French and English bondholders timultr •••-
neously the day of conversion, it was impossible to MOi.
the long-desired announcement for a few days longe!; '-'"
It was on Saturday last that M. Borrajo represeot
n'l
to the Chairman of the Committee the necessity
this new delay, and then it was commonly earC".
that Wednesday (to-day) would be the day of public announce' ,
ment. Now, however, it appears that the day of announce'
ment is by no means so near at hand as was commonly Or
posed; for the chairman of the committee has received
M. Borrajo a letter dated Monday last, the contents of Of.
are nearly the same in substance with the conversation of
•
turday, and in which it is said that it is impossible to make the
announcement for " some da)s" more, on the pretext befOPl'..
mentioned of doing; equal justice to London and Paris. the
delays are much calculated to dqcrease the confidence of
holders, and to render them capable of believing any ruts
against the Spanish Government, of which there are so tos-v •
•
remaining still to be explained.
SUN.—The Funds rallied a little from the slepression vette
010
in our last article, money being again rather abundant.
for present transfer were up to h, but before the termins,a,,,
of business, and for the settlement to-morrow, were at 89 to
also, but never so IoW as 88k, which in the morning was •
current rate for money. Exchequer Bills brought 20s. to 221 i
premium, and East India Bonds 7s. to 9s. premium. 13613„6
Stock W3S worth 169 i to 170 i, but India Stock gave
little, viz., to 2451 and 2451.
The Spanish Bonds did not improve upon the news resat; •
ing the re-establishment of one of those pests of the kieg;ir.
4, Juntas of Safety," or, what might be more truly stP.t.
" Persecution Clubs." The Active Bonds were heavy
and the Passive at 5i to I. Mexican Stock was at 35 tb
and Dutch Five per Cents. realised par for the new loan. •
The Railway Shares were, in a few instances, rather 107,
saleable. Brighton were 14%, Eastern Counties 14, Oteesds-'
with 14, Midland Counties 21, and North Midland 34;iii
count. Birmingham and London were 77 to 78, Great west
18 to 19i, and Liverpool and Manchester 92 premium.
tional Provincial Bank of England Shares were at par.

CORONER'S INQUEST.
fllr°
Yesterday a very protracted inquiry was gone into be.o,
Mr. Carter, Coroner for Surrey, at the Sir Sidney Seas!
Cheater-street, Kennington, respecting the death of Mrs. t's:Ass
Morris, aged 42, whose death took place under most exlrlyLo,
nary and singular circumstances, which will be gathered '-
the facts detailed below : a Jot
Before the evidence was gone into, the Coroner 80,0
proceeded to view the body, which was lying at the rest"
of Mr. Morris, No. 11, Chester-street. It presented a 01-
deplorable appearance ; the head was fractured in a frig
manner ; the left arm was broken, the right shoulder di5117,7,44
besides other serious contusions on different parts of the r--
It was next pointed out to the Jury where the lad' sisi
lea' ed from a parapet of a house three stories high, an'.
sa;sl where she had fallen.
al°
Mr. T. S. Morris was first examined, and stated, th a 0
Sunday morning last he left home to accompany a friloss•
his gig to Hoddesden, in Hertfordshire. He:returned
toil
about half-past twelve o'clock at night; and, as was his, 00
custom, first went to his stables to see that his horse hauvosor
properly attended to. He was astonished to find the Pro s(•.had not been " put up." He went up-stairs •to WWl' spit
his wife how it was there had been so much neglet".o;
she would give no answer to his questions. His '°lbefri
.s
also absent, and he was naturally anxious to know. - Ott
at that hour, he could possibly be, but she would give
no information. He felt it his duty to make inquiris ook
the neighbourhood, and found his son concealed in 1W4.00.,
house attached to the premises of Mr. Brett, a baker' be.
moth the lad's reason for doing so was that his othes.e. isi.
threatened to stab him, and, to save his life, he had rr.osOs
of the house, Upon finding where his son was.hlssies
home with him about two o'clock on Monday
seal
ing, and knocked at his door, but whilst in the,r.,';' ,
doing this he heard a dreadful noise, which to Wto
,t. ,
j
peared to arise from a heavy fall. He went up ' ,
dining-room, but his wife was not there, nor...‘
he find her in the bed-room. He was then induced to L'-.
''
the yard, and there found his wife lying lifeless ea ''' '
stones. There was a pool of blood by the side of her
which was broken in many places, in fact there was """ ,
part of her body that was not injured. He at once di OA
his son to get the attendance of surgeons, several °lb b
attended. A neighbour had also been alarmed, and s"
assistance the police were sent for. t 011
The CORONER—Can you explain how the deceased 151014

gone to the top floor of the house, and above the landing

She'

and then, having placed the candle by the chair, she,g'Ll'eP

the parapet.

could pot tell ; she had repeatedly taken a raz ,r in betty,„..

intention to destroy her life, but to annoy him. OA:
The CORONER next inquired if she was in the -oAssi
drinking to excess? Mr. Morris replied it was n't_olf„,:"
stately so.
It was reported in the room that the deceased had dru7.o4,
less than halt a gallon of whiskey during the Sunday:r
when under the excitement caused by spirits she se''' 0
most desperate and det e• mined disposition. f
tbStis
Mr. Croft, a neighbour, who had heard the noise 0
0,6
stated to the Coroner that one of the deceased's 911;405,5.
found in the next garden, and the other about a yard , •
body. -
re
Ihe CORONER having remarked upon the shameftd...Ls,
that had been circulated to the prejudice of Mr. Af°''et,'
there could be no doubt this was the deceased's own $1,05P7..
the only question was the state of her mind when s'" ;o
mitted it.
The Jury, after a very short deliberation, returnedsit'lli.
—" That the deceased t.estroyed herself while in g . 1
temporary insanity."
