MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.
The morn the lamentable accident by which the Duke of
Orleans was deprived of life is considered, the more it is
regretted, and the greater sympathy in the distress of the King
of the French shown. It is universally admitted that, of the
present time, no circumstance so likely to interrupt the peace
of Europe could have happened.
Great advantage has been taken of it to influence the prices
of our own funds, in cunse luence of this being the settling day in
the English market; and though they have fluctuated materially,
the amount of real business has been exceedingly small, the
only advantage being to close accounts. The principal pur-
chase was about 7,0,01. New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. on
the private account of the Premier. None of the heavy stocks
have been influenced, and money remains exceedingly abun-
dant, which is proved by the premium on Exchequer bills re-
maining at the rates of yesterday. One or two small dealers
were obliged to compromise, but with these exceptions every-
thing passed off satisfactorily.
The last prices were, Consols 90g for Money ; Three per
Cents. Reduced, 91 91} ; Thri-e-and-a- Half per Cents. Re-
duced, 100; New Three. and-a-Half per Cents., 99 99/ ;
Bank Stock, 166 167 ; India Stock, 249 250; India Bonds,
26 28 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 48 50 ; New, 46 48 prem.
Prices of Foreign Securities remain without change—Bel-
gian, 102 103 ; Dutch Two.and-a-Half per Cents., 51 51/;
the Five per Cents., 101 1011 ; Danish, 81 82 ; and Brazilian,
64 66.
The Share Market was heavy. London and Birmingham,
177 179; Birmingham and Gloucester, 47 49 ; Great Western,
85/ 86/ ; the Half Shares, 601 611 ; South Western, 60 61 ;

' and Dover, 211 22/ • Eastern Counties, 8/ S ; Blackwell, 81
9 ; and Brighton, 3334 34 per share.
The Bonds were thus quoted—Colombian, 21 2: ; Peru-
vian, 16 17 ; Portuguese Five per Cents., 33 331 ; the Three
Fier Cents., 19 19 ; Spanish Five per Cents., 20 jg ; the
Three per Cents., 21.
13eyond the European letters there were no foreign arrivals.

(Froiti Tice Sun 01 List 4Nigti.) -
The Market has been in a very agitated state since the com-
mencement of business, founded avowedly upon the intelli-
gence of the (teeth of the ,Duke of Orleans, but in reality more
upon the state of the account. Few events have occurred of late
years likely to produce such serious consequences as the melan-
choly one in question. In the common course of nature it is not
probable that Louis Philippe will survive many years longer,
and the prospect of a lengthened Reg, ney in such a nation as
France is not the most cheering. This being the " option
day" in Consols, and the present account being " bullish,"
every advantage has been taken by the opposite Fill, who
were likely to have been severe losers, to depress prices as
much as possible ; consequently Consuls have been driven
down from 91k to 90i fur Money, and 90i for to-morrow,
without however any bona fide sales having been effected.
Three per Cents. Reduced 901/; Three-and-a- Half per Cents.
Reduced, 99/ ; New Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 99 ; Bank
Stock, 166 167 ; India Stock, 249 250 ; India Bonds, 26 28 ;
Exchequer Bills, Old, 48 50. and New, 46 48 prem.
This has been the day of settling accounts in Foreign Secu-
rities, but as time bargains are not now made in them, the cir-
cumstance has attracted no notice. As has been the case for
some days past, business has again been confined tot utch ; the
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at. 51i, the Four per Cents. 1018.
The quotation for Mexican has declined to 33i.
In the Shares the only transact ions have been—Edinburgh
and Glasgow, 43 ; London and Birmingham Quarters, 46i ;
Great Western Halves, 61 ; South Western, 60k; and Brigh-
ton, 334.
Spanish Five per Cents. at 21b; and the Three per Cents.
201/, are the only bonds quoted to-day.
Reocnt advices front the United States appear to evince an
anxiety that the new loan should find purchasers in other coun-
tries. It would seem that the Americans ate now fully con-
vinced of the shock which their national credit has received
by the repudiation system pursued by some of the
States, as well as of the impossibility for enter-
ing into monetary negotiation with foreign capitalists,
until measures shall have been adopted to liquidate the old
liabilities. As a first step to aards this, it has been proposed
that these debts shall be guaranteed by the Federal Govern-
ment, which is to arrange with the bondholders, and
collect the amount from the defaulters; and it is to
be hoped that such a desirable object may be attained. If it
be, it will form rio reason for advancing more, since, constitu-
ted as the Government now is, no security can be given which
may not be revoked by future acts of Congress, or upon which
the borrowers can be obliged to refund.

REMARKABLE FATALITY IN ONE FAMlLY.—Yester-
day morning an inquest was held before W. Carter, Esq., Coro-
ner for Surrey, at the Europa Tavern, Rotherhithe, on the body
of James Heard, 27 years of age, who was found drowned in
the Thames, off Pageant-stairs, Rotherhithe. It appeared from
the evidence that the deceased was a bargeman, in the employ
of Messrs. Cobham and Co., of Ware, Ilerts, and that in deli-
vering a cargo at White Lion Wharf, t 'pper Thames-street, it
is supposed he accidentally fell over, but there was no direct
evidence to show 11,,w he came into the water, and the Jury
accordingly returned a verdict of " Found drowned." The
brother of the deceased said, that the male part of the family
had obtained their living for some years as navigators on the
rivers Thames and Lea, and that no fewer than eleven of them
had been accidentally drowned whilst following their avocations
on those rivers, and two others had lost their lives by accidents
which had befallen them whilst so employed. Amongst the
former the father of the deceased, and two of his sons, were
drowned a short time ago.
A few days ago, as a small sailing-boat was

nately perish: d.

FURTHER EXTRACTS FROM THE AMERICAN PAPERS.
ATROCIOUS MURDERS AND OUTRAGES.
A manuscript was left in our office yesterday morn-
ing, from which we condense the following stte-
ment :—The passengers fin board the• Sunflower, which
stopped at E. P. King's Wo,:d-yard, were informed
that some horrible murders had been committed in
that vicinity, and that the citizens weIT in
pursuit of
the murderers. After wooding, they had proceeded
but a short distance when they perceived a crowd :111 '
dd
the bank, which they rightfully concluded were'ths
pursuers. They stopped, and it appeared that a negro
named Joseph, belonging to llr. Voorhees, on
Bayou de Glaize, had been persuaded to run off
and join him by a negro run away from New Or-
leans, named Enoch. They murdered a Mr. Ha,
rington, and took with them into the woods his
wife and a young lady. They called Mr. Harrington
out or his house, and he unsuspectingly went ;
u 3
ar Pied

tol and gun were presented at him. He was g
into the house, when the negroes laid their weapon`
on the bed, and declared their purposes to be to murder
him, and abduct the females. Harrington seized
a pistol, aimed at the breast of Enoch, and exploded
the cap without discharging the load. Joseph aimed
the rifle at Harrington, the young lady clung to Bar-
rington, the rifle went off, killing him and wounding
her. His body was thrown into a lake, and the fe-
males carried off. The negroes had with them mu
-
a named Margaret, whose entreaties saved the
lives of the poor women, who were inhumanly Out'
raged. They then killed a Mr. Todd, and carried
eft
his wife and child. They also killed another Persdv'
name unknown.
The citizens caught Joseph on Sunday, and the
girl Mar;raret. Enoch escaped, though supposed te,
be wounded by some one or more of the balls fired 2"
him. Joseph confessed, and they determined to burn
him alive. He was chained to a tree, the faggots.
piled around. and in that situation being questioned
by F. Routh, he declared as before that he bacill°
other accomplice than Enoch, and that Enoch tnaue
him kill the men who were murdered. His cries
were terrific when the fire reached him, and,„ll
superhuman exertions he wrested the staple avnie,
confined the chain to the tree. He was then sh,!
and his body cast back into the fire. The girl':

Since writing the above, we learn from a gentle•
man of the neighbourhood that only one female wilsa.

daughter. The statement is substantially correct 1
otheThep r articulars.—Natchez Courier. A
terrible scene of burning the negro is thus ue.
scribed by the Free Trader :
The boy was taken and chained to a tree ininl;
diately on the bank of the Mississipi, on what "a
called Union Point. Faggots were then collected nin.f,
piled around him, to which he appeared quite inked
ferent. When the work was completed, he was 215%,
what he had to say. He then warned all to take e'd;

he then called' for a drink of water, which was hainde„
to him ; he drank it and said, " Now set fire-11.1
ready to go in peace I"
The torches were lighted and placed in the•
which soon ignited. He watched unmoved the cnr`eif
ing flame as it grew, until it began to entwine ilsth
around and feed upon his body ; then he sent Orl.i,
cries of agony painful to the ear, begging some
ingo
to blow his brains out, at the same time sung le
with almost superhuman strength, until the sta'ot
with which the chain was fastened to the tree, 110
being well secured, drew out, and he escaped fil)of
the burning pile. At that moment the sharp rill
several rifles was heard—the body of the negro fee
corpse on the ground. He was picked up be

two or three, and again thrown into the fire and CI,
sumed—not a vestige remaining to show that slic
