Consols, which closed yesterday at 94,4 to 1 ex div., for the 10th of July, opened this morning at the name quotation and closed at 94 to 1, both for money and the present account. For t1..1 August !settlement the last price was 94! to ;;;. The Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents. were quoted at one o'cl , ,ck, 934 to 4.

The English funds remain dull, and the quota tion for money is 4 per cent. lower than on Satur day, owing to a continuance of sales on orders from the public. The price for the account is main tained, in consequence of additional purchases by speculators, who still believe that the influx of gold to the bank, the downward tendency of the money market, and the inactivity of mercantile business, will tend to improve quotations ere long. Home railway stocks have experienced a fresh fall, upon a renewal of speculative sales. At the same time unfavourable rumours are again circulated with regard to the financial position of two or three of the principal companies. Foreign bonds have been little dealt in, but there is a moderate in quiry for Greek and Mexican. The demand for money to-day is fair, but the supply is larger, the joint stock banks, which made up their half-yearly statements on Saturday, show ing an increased desire to make advances. The rate for good bills is 24 to 4 per cent., and for loans in the Stock Exchange 21. Consols are now quoted 541 to 4, ex div., for money, and 944 to 4, ex div., for the as ; and the Three per Cents Reduced and New Three per Cents., 934 to 4.

Anglo-American and Atlantic Telegraph 8 per cent. preference shares are without change ; the former are quoted 184 to 4, and the latter 44 to 4. The dealings in financial shares are still upon a very moderate scale, and prices remain dull. International Financial are quoted 2 to 14 die. ; London Financial, 224 to 211 die.; General Credit, 2} to 14 dia. ; and Credit Foncier, 54 to 54 die. lIIINEB.-(TIIIS DAY.) Drs °Twos.

Consols are steady, but English railways have further receded. Metropolitan stock has fallen to 123} to i, and Brighton to 52i to 53. The announcement of a further issue of 2,000,0001. of guaranteed capital by the Great Indian Peninsula Railway Company, following so quickly upon one of 2,500,000/. by the Delhi Railway Company, has excited considerable attention. Popular though these guaranteed investments are, it is believed that a better plan may be adopted upon future occasions of the kind. Every now and then the holders are taken by surprise by an issue of stock to a heavy amount, and though it may be urged that this contingency ought always to have a place in their calculations, seeing that the Indian railway system is as yet avowedly incomplete, it would certainly be better were investors in Indian securities permitted to know their real position. There can, we think, be no valid objection to the adoption of some such business-like plan as a periodical ►nnouncement from the Indian govern ment of the sum that will be required in each year or half-year. An instalment of 11 per cent. falls due to-day on the last Danubian loan, less the coupon of 4 per cent. In consequence of the obstacles interposed to the distribution of the Mexican dividend money now lying in the Bank of England, some correspondence has passed with Messrs.

THS Lae: COVRTB IN THE QTY.—This morning the London .ittings at Nisi Prius of the Cowie of Com mon Pleas and Exchequer commenced at Guildhall. The First Court of Exchequer was engaged with the case of " Smith v. The (i.e Light and Coke Company," which had not concluded .d the last sittings and had been adjourned until to - day. It was an action by Mrs. Smith, the pro prietor of the dining-rooms in the lower storey of Saville bowie, Leicester-square, and involved the question whether the tire which destroyed that building bad been caused by the negligence of the defendants' servants. The Lord Chief Baron again presided, and the same special jury were in attendance. The evidence for the defence was proceeded with from the point at which it left off at the last sittings, and is likely to occupy the entire day. It rarely happens that the courts adjourn brie from Westminster without some alterations being in ',regrets in tke Guildhall or the civic buildings adjoining it ; but on the present occasion the entire place is in the possession of nters, painters, and decorators, who are making peepaea a for the entertainment to be given to the Belgian volunteers by the corporation ; and the hammering,susell of paint, and general confusion, greatly interferes with the transaction of judicial busine.sa. EXCITING SCENE AT THE ZOOLOGICAL Gaitilees. —On Friday a scene of a rue: exciting nature occurred at the Zoological Gardens Regent's-park. It appears that a countryman, while looking at the beam, accidentally dropped his hat into the pat, and, to recover it, bad the foolhardiness to descend the pit. As soon as he got to the bottom lie was seized by one of the bears, and imme diately two others came from their cave and also seized him, and began dragging him towards it. Some sticks were throwu to him by the excited lookers on, but fortu nately one of the keepers went to the man's assistance, and succeeded in setting him free. Gu ts-tvirt wt. —A sad accident occurred on Friday at Messrs. Prangley's manure works, Bt. Philip's, Bristol. Mr. Osborn Pnungley, civil engineer, brother of one of the partners in the firm, was on a %irk to Bristol, and his uncle, Mr. Alexande r Rawlinson, who carries on the busi ness of a collodion manufacturer on part of the Messrs. Prangley's premises, was illustrating the explosive power of gun-cotton when the accident happened. A cannon hat been extemporised oat of an old 1100 pipe about bye inches long and half en inch bore, and Mr. Prangley was holding this with both hands in an upright position on the window sill of the cake, while Mr. Rawlinson was ramming about an ounce of gun-cotton into it with an iron nail, when it is supposed that a spark caused by the fric tion ignited the guwoottoe. and an explosion took place which shattered the cannon into fragments. Mr. Prangley and Mr. Rawlinson were immediately conveyed to the General Hospital, where the former had his left hand am putated above the wrist, and the thumb and two fore fingers of his right head were R off. Mr. Rawlinsoo had re the thumb and two forefingers of his left hand am putated. JAPAN.—Commerce with foreign nations is de veloping with marvellous rapidity.

To his prudence for being, as be said, one step in advance, be owed much of his success in the world. If one person with whom he mine into contact knew three facts, Serjeant Penguin managed to know four. If it was important for other persons to be punctual to twelve o'cloc ., , Sergeant Penguin was at the rendezvous at a quarter to 12. If the right and expected subscription were five pounds, Sergeant l'entcht gam , Ave guineas. In small maters and great he found this little rule exceedingly valuable. But he never professed to have a rule. On the contrary, all his advantages were pined, he said, by some accident, and the affected saunter,mentd as well se physical, when he was mast keen! alive to the work in bead.—Sooner or Later, by Shirley
