There was a good demand yesterday at the Bank
of England discount office, but nu pressure. I u other
quarters 7 per cent. continues to be the lowest
rate for good bills, discounters evincing much cau-
tion in the present condition of the market. tinder
the influence of this feclinz a very large supply of
money is kept available from day to day, and is
partly employed in short loans in the Stock Ex-
change, where consequently the terms on govern-
ment securities were yesterday only 44 tool per
cent.

Loan Isere ported yesteralay evening. We under-
stand that the entire amcnuit of the loan is taken.

while on her voyage from Hamburg to New
York, but some confirmation of this statement
appears to be looked for, the telegrams not being
explicit on the subject. The Sophie, from Mata-
moros for Bremen, with a valuable cargo of cotton,
has been taken by the Danish cruisers off the
Weser, as well as three Hamburg vessels. Insur-
ances to a considerable extent have been effected at
Lloyd's upon the cargo of the Sophie.
Anxiety is felt respecting the safety of the ship
Lizzie and Kate, which sailed from the Downs
for Colombo on the 28th of October, would conse-
quently experience in the Channel the full force of
the November gales, and has not since been heard
of. At Lloyd's as much as 50 guineas premium
have been offered to effect fresh iusurancee. It is
stated that the ship and cargo are worth about
100,0001.
Messrs. Rothschild and Sons have published the
numbers of 705 bonds, representing 77,1001. of
the Danish Three. per Cent. Loan of 1825, which

representing 100,0001. of the Russian Four-and-a-
Half per Cent. Loan of 1860, waich were drawn
