following reply to the address presented to him by the
gentry of Galway :—'• Castle Howard, Oct. 30.—My lords
and gentlemen—l cannot fail to feel deeply touched and
gratified by the terms of the address which you have been
pleased to transmit to me. Any want of hospitality was
certainly the last contogency to which I could expect to be
exposed upon the soil of Ireland. Nor oould I doubt the
high spirit of loyalty which pervades the genial sod
generous county of Galway ; I have only to re-
gret that I thought myself bound in my representative
capacity to notice the occurrence to which you refer
more seriously than might otherwise have been necemary.
I feel glad to have this opportunity of stating that some
amounts I have seen of the event in question scarcely do
justice to the persons who were assembled at the hotel. I
could discern on their part uo demonstration of soy feeling
but of respect, and. I will add, of regret. I have the honour
to be, my ford. and gentlemen, your very faithful sad grate-
ful servant —(Signed) CARLISLL.—The Marquis of Clan-

MONEY MARKS?'.-(THIS DAY.)

Two olkoon.
The depression in the *stock markets has de-
cidedly increased to-day. Prices ars generally
lower. The funds have fallen Ito f per cent.
English railways have not declined more than
to 1 per cent., but the speculative kinds of foreign
securities have suffered oonsiderably, owing to the
prevailing uncertainty respecting the course of the
money market.
Consols are now quoted 921 to 1 for money, and
921 to Ifor the December account. The
official business report is as follows :-Three
per Cent. Console, for money, 921, 1,1, ;

FOUR o'CLoci.
Consols are still quoted 92# to # for money, and
92} to for the December account.

The oourae of the stock markets will now be ruled
by that of the money market. The question of
immediate interest is—Will the Bank of England
find it necessary to raise their rate of discount to
8 per cent. 7 The answer to this probably depends
to a great extent upon the course that may be taken
by the Bank of France. Should the latter establish-
ment move from 5 to 8 per cent., as sound
principles of bailing appear, under present circum-
stances, to dictate that it shall, our Bank would
probably do the same. It is impossible to leave
the Bank of France out of the question, fee its
operations have at present a powerful influence
upon our market. This is evident when it is borne
in mind that the French Bank by buying up, as it
is now doing, all the gold which reaches this coun-
try from America and Australia, leaves the ex-
porters of gold toj all other quarters no re-
source but to supply their wants out of the stock in
the Bank of England. A fresh reduction in the
Bank bullion thus seems certain. That the move-
ment to 5 per cent. has not arrested the effinx is
proved by the further large withdrawal to-
day. Moreover, considerable shipments have
yet to be made to the new cotton,
countries, including more especially Egypt, Brazil,
and India. The latter, it is true, takes chiefly
silver, but this can only bo obtained on the Con-
tinent with our gold. Should the indications of a
continued drain prove unmistakeable, the directors
of the Bank of England will doubtless take timely
action, and apply the ueedf ul corrective in the shape
of an advance in the rate to 6 per cent. It is
quite true that this measure will not prevent the
exportation -_‘f a single ounce of gold which our
foreign engagements require us to pay, but all
experience shows that an enhanced value of money
here tends to prevent the foreigner from drawing
upon our stores of capital, if it does not
even attract capital from the relatively cheaper
markets abroad. In either came, the effect of a
tight money market is to put the exchanges more
in favour of this country. Meanwhile, it must be
' borne in mind, that there is nothing in the present
state of monetary affairs calculated to impair con-
fidence in the general stability of the trade and
finance of the kingdom.
The discount market yesterday presented a some-
what unsettled appearance. There was a good though
not pressing demand in all quarters, including the
Bank of England. Until the future course of the
market becomes plainer there is no disposition
amongst bankers and bill-brokers to take even the
best bills below the present Bank minimum of 5
per cent.

About 63,000 sovereigns and 40,0001. in bars were
withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday. The
former are mostly intended fora pain and the latter
for Paris. In addition, the 226,0001. Australian
by the Yorkshire h.a been purchased on aocouut of
the Bank of France, which is said to have entered
into a contract with en eminent London firm fur a
large supply. It is believed, however, that the
bulk of the amount required will be derived from
the remittances from Australia and America,

The steamer Poonah will take to-day
167,2391. in specie, of which 148,0001. is gold for
Alexandria, and the rest, chiefly silver, for China.
The total to be despatched for Bombay—the cot-
ton port of the East—by the packet of the 11th inst.
will be very large..

The foreign ;I.:changes yesterday afternoon were
generally somewhat tanner than on Friday, but
there was little improvement in the rates, which
were quoted as follows :
Amsterdam, 3 months, 11.161 to 191 ditto, 3' days,
ILI6I to 171; Rotterdam, 3 mouths, ILI9 to 1; Antwerp,
3 months, 25.52 l to 71. /Lumbar', ins. basso, three months,

to 70; Ilessina, 3 mouths, 15.65 to 70; Lisbon, 90 days,
521 to 53; Oporto, 90 days, 521 to 53.
The Stock Exchange Committee have just passed
an important resolution relating to new companies.
The committee will henceforward require that in
the case of new companies wishing to obtain a
settling day, and the privilege of quotation in the
official list, the shares shall be applied foe and
allotted to the public to the extent of two-thirds of
the total capital. This decision is evi-
dently directed against the practice recently
introduced of bringing forward new projects with a
lair proportion of the capital reserved or Mb-
scribed fur privately. It will bo remembered that
in the case of the International Financial Society
only 40,000 shares were offercil to the public out of
a total of 150,000; in the tieueral Creilit Company,

only 35,000 shares out of 125,000 ; in the Lad
Mortgage Bank of lndia, only 25,000 shares out of
100,000 • while-.-to ems to still later instances—
the generali public hams been invited to aptly for
only 10,000 shame out of • total of 20,0t* to be
allotted in the first instance in the bier-,
mink Credit Association, and for 10,000
shares out of 20,000 in the English and.
Swedish Bank (Limited). The course takes
by the committee will be generally re-
with satisfaction because it is evidently
=
in the interest of the general body of the
public. The resolution stands at present for con-,
hrmation.
An instalment of 51. per share, abeorbiog
500,0001., was due on Monday on udson's Bay
shares, but, Monday baring been a holiday on the'
Stock Exchange, was cisially paid yesterday. This,
heavy demand affords an example of the way is
which the money market is temporarily disturbed'
by the requirements of the joint-stock enterprise'
now so rife, even where, as in the case of this,
company, no exportation of capital to foreign
I countries is involved.

Application has been made to the Stock Ex.
change committee to appoint a settling day in the
thereof the Anglo-Austrian Bank.
The Australian Mortgage, Land, and Finance
Company (Limited) is announced, with a capital
of 1,000,0001., the first issue of which is td
consist of 500,0002, in 20,000 shares of 20'. each.
The direction is very respectable, comprising Sir
Charles Nicholson, Bart., late President of the
Council of New South Wales and Queensland ; the
Lord Mayor of London ; Mr. David Aitchison, late
of Victoria ; Mr. John Gillespie of Gillespie„
Churchill, and Co. ; Mr. Henry Jordan, Comore.-
sioner of Emigration for Queensland ; Mr. T. M.
Mackay, of Leadenhall-street, and Liverpool ; Mr.
Edward W. Welkin, President of the Grsod Trunk
Railway of Canada ; Sir Henry Drummond WoIff,K.C.M.G. ; and Mr. Stuart Lane, of Old Broad-
street. It is explained that the object of this Coors
pany is to afford a safe medium for the investment of
capital on mortme in the Australasian colonies,
including New 71and. It is proposed, in fact,
to carry out in that Imp field the Credit Forsake
piinciple, already successfully developed in many
parte of Europe. Capital is to be borrowed it
England by the issue of debentures, and employed
at higher rates in the colonies. The Company will
also act as agents foe negotiatiug government, mu-
nicipal, or other loans, in the colonies, for the
collection of debts and the management of estate&
It is not proposed to call up more than one quartet
of the share capital.
