AVASSINA tION iv GERMAN .—A fearful murder was
committed between Mhulheim and Essen, in the neigh..
bourhood of the Rhine, on the night of the 24th August.
Four gentlemen were returning from a choral meeting in

COMMERCIAL AND MONETARY NE W S

Monday Night.

Oar markets have been quiet, and there is little change
in the value of Produce to notice. The piratical invasion
of Cuba, by a parcel of American outlaws, has caused con-
siderable attention, and the fate which they met with
has produced very little sympathy. It is to be hoped tl at
Lopez and the remainder of the brigands will be arrested
in their career. There has been more inquiry for Sugar,
in consequence, but no advance has taken place.
The trade having purchased largely of Cotton during the
past month, and added to their reserve stock, have shown
less disposition to operate, but the business of the week
has been to a fair extent, with little change in prices. On
Saturday there was a fair demand, and to-day there has
also been a steady inquiry, at full prices. Saturday sales
6000, and to-day 9000 bales.

There has been a rather firm tone manifest in our
Wool market this week, but as the quantity offering is
small, no great amount of business has been done, and
prices are without change. _ _

The export of iron, and especially of manufactured iron,
continues to improve. The value of the foreign transac-
tions in July was £531.014, being an increase on the same
month of 1850 of £62,738. There are no indications, says
the Birmingham Journal, given in these returns of the
localities from whence the exports are sent, and conse,
quently it. is impossible to say whether or not South Staf-
fordshire has shared in this prosperity ; but we have rea-
son to believe that there are slight symptoms of activity
in the condition of our local trade. An improvement has
decidedly manifested itself in the demand for pigs, which
now command higher rates of about 2s. 6d. per ton. The
stocks on hand are very low, and any increased demand
-is immediately felt. The improvement has but slightly
affected manufactured iron, still we hear of a few good or-
ders, and there is certainly no disposition to do business at
lower prices. We regret to state that the Cradley chain-
makers have struck for an advance co' wages, or, rather,
for a return to the higher prices they have until lately
been receiving. It is expected that the turn-out will be
general.
Our Share-market during the week has been very in-
active, but there has been some slight tendency towards
improvement, and the tone is somewhat firmer. With the
exception of some heavy sales of Dovers there has been no
pressure of stock, and some impulse was given to the
market by the generally favourable traffic returns. The
almost total absence of real buyers, however, still checks
any material advance. To-day we have been more than
usually quiet, and the quotations (which we annex) are
lower than those of Saturday :—Chester and Birkenhead,
15e; East Lancashire, 1321; Lancashire and Yorkshire,
49 81 9 ; London stock, 1131 ; Do. new quar'ers, 11 p ;
Do. C quarters. 14 p; Midland, 42,1 3ic - Do. halves,
20 1-16 d ; Old Dovers, 192; Liverpool and London Fire
and Life, new issue, 31 p.
The return of the movement of the Bank of England for
the week ending on the 30th ult. gives the following
changes compared with the week ending the 23rd ult. :
In the department of issue the notes in circulation had
increased £140,225, which had been produced by an in-
crease of £140,225 in the gold coin or bullion, the silver
bullion remaining unaltered, On the debit side of the
banking department the rest had increased £278,505, the
public deposits had increased £446,880, the private de-
posits had increased £17,843, and the seven-day and other
post bills had decreased £73,48, making the total lia-
bilities £35,501,891. On the credit side the government
securities remained unaltered, the other securities had in-
creased £506.905, the notes had increased £168,880, and
the gold and silver coin had decreased £5,625, which
equalised the account. The bullion in both departments
of theßank had increased from £14227,284 to £14,362,424,
being a difference of £134,600. The paper in actual cir-
culation had decreased from £21,067.157 to £20,965,434,
being a difference of £101,723. Bullion was on the in-
crease during the week, and public deposits as well. There
is nothing, however, in the increased stock of bullion to
call for attention, but the remarkable accumulation under
the head of " other securities" will probably promote some
inquiry. It is quite evident that money was considerably
in demand, as was observed at the time under this head,
and there cannot be much doubt that the Bank is still
strongly pulled upon for advances in various banking
quarters of town and country.

On Saturday night a gentleman was robbed in Tithe-
barn-street by two men, who knocked him down and
stole his watch.

On Thursday night, Mr. Edwards, of Toxteth-park,
was attacked by two men who smashed his hat on his
eyes, and stole his silver lever watch. _

SINGULAR. ACCIDENT.—A man named James Cloony
had his arm almost cut off one day last week by a person
attempting to take a sickle from under his arm. The
sufferer was taken to the Northern Hospital'.
PEDESTRIANISM.—Captain Garrett, of the 46th Regi-
ment, who lately walked from this town to Liverpool and
back, in little less than twenty-three hours, has under-
taken, for a wager with some of his brother officers, to
walk a mile, run a mile, and run a mile on horseback, in
twenty minutes. The match will take place in the neigh-
bourhood of the Barracks.—Preston Pilot.

ST. BRIDE'S CHURCII.—On Sunday evening last, the
Rev. D. D. Stewart preached his farewell sermon, the
text being Acts xx. [verse 32 : " And now, brethren, I
commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which
is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance

,
among all them which are sanctified." The sacred edifice
was crowded, and the discourse, which was a very im-
pressive one, was listened to with breathless attention.
