BRITANNIA AND HER

Na

chit Doff, who has lately died, was well known in Hamburg,
where he used to remain occasionally, on his journeys to
and from London. He was sent to England by the lat. Em-
peror Nicholas, to gain information as to the system of the
dockyards in this country. Owing to the knowledge thus
inland during a period of five years, he was placed by the
Emperor at the bead of the establishment at Nikoliieff.
He sprang from the middle dames. His brother is at the
present Use muter of a boarding-school at Bkaterinoslaw,

CASTING OF MORTARS AT MANCHESTER.—Some
of the largest clam of mortars are being made by Mesas. S.
Ellis and Co., of Salford, who have costracted to supply the
government with ten of these huge guns, of five tons
weight emelt, and calculated to throw 13-inch shells. The,
dean outing for the first mortar was yesterday removed
from their foundry to the fitting-up shop to be bored sad
completed.
A Quid[ PASSAGE.—Later Australian advises
mostien the arrival at Portland Bay, on the 28th April, of
the ship Frances Beaty, after a quick wage of 80 days
fine the Isle of Wight.

MONEY MARKET.-THIS DAY.

Two O'CLOCK.

The English funds have been rather flatterJO-day,
owing chiefly to the unfavourable Bank return. After
declining 1 per cent., prices have returned to the
closing range of yesterday. Very little business is
going forreird. Consols were quoted during part
of the meifting. 901 to 901, and now stand at
1901 to 90j; both for money, and the Bth
1 August. The Three Per Cent. ltednced have been
dealt in at 911 toy; the New Three per Cent., at
921 to 1; Bank Stock at 214 to 215 ; Exchequer
Bonds, 1858, at 1001 to 101; Exchequer Bills, March,
at 21s. to 25e. prem.; do., June, at 19s. to 22e. prem.
Little business has been done in the foreign stock
market Turkish is fairly supported at the late rally.
The sales reported are as follows;—Tutkieh Six per
Cents, at 901 to 901; Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per
Cents. at 80 to 801; Mexican at 211 to 1; Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 641; Russian Five
per Cents., 1011; Spanish Deferred Three per Cents,
181; and Brazilian Old Five per Cents. at 102.
The Severn has arrived cff Portland from Portland
Bay (Australia), and the Baltasara off Dartmouth
from !Sydney, but neither of these vessels is known
to have any gold on freight.
St. Petersburg advice. to the 19th inst. quote the
exchange on London at 363 to 2d. About 1,000
casks of tallow had'been taken on the spot at 115 to
116 ro., but nothing had been done for August de-
livery. Horses were scarce, and the cost of carriage
to Twer, en route to the Prussian ports, was conse-
quently 90 to 95 cop.
The reports received from the United States rela-
tive to the harvest are of the most favourable cha-
racter, the yield in many placed being unprece-
dentedly large. In the southern and western states
much of the grain is already gathered in.
The return of the Bank of England for the week
ending Saturday, July 21, when compared with the
previous return, shows the following results:
Circulation issue
Circulation active 20,772,865 Decrease 206,005

The decrease in the bullion is again heavy. In
addition to the efflux to the continent, it is presumed
that some considerable shipments of coin have lately
been made for our expeditions abroad. Of the other
changes in the return the decrease in the government
securities and private deposits form the chief. The
tendency of the Bank balance-sheet is evidently less
favourable.
