TILE LEVANT.

Intelligence has been received from Malta of thel
22nd; Athens, the 18th; and Cotstantinople, the
16th inst. From Malta nothing new. At Athens,
Mr. Wyse had had an interview with King Otho.
The Indemnity Bill for Bavarian widow' and orphans
hid' been abandoned, and the budget of 1849
P , not yet paned. From Constantinople we

he had entered into the convention made by General
Grabbe. Ru-sia has a•ked and obtained permission
from Turkey to pass troops through Benin.

DRAINAGE OF THE METROPOLIa.—Mr. Phillip,
the surveyor to the Sewers Commissioners, hes pointed out
how, by • mere nominal sum per annum, payable for 20
years, a tunnel sewer might be constructed from Hammer
smith to Wo dwich marshes, to take off the whole drainage
of the metmpolis by a regular and steady 1011, and by [hot
means the River Thames would be rendered m pars as it
was 300 years ago.
A GOOD EXAMPLE.—The committee of the Bath
General Hospital have corns to a determination to dh.a,
tinue the interments in the burial-ground belonging to the
hospital, situated immediately opposite the Commercial
Huoms 011 the north side of the old borough wall. The
ground has been covered with • stratum of concrete five

There is, however, a general complaint of the want of heat

MONEY MARKET.

FRIDAY ETININO.

The settlement of the account in the foreign and
share markets having been satisfactorily arranged,
we have only to notice the continued abundance of
money at easy rates of interest in the Stock Exchange
to-day. There is perhaps rather more demand fie
money, especially out of doors, for temporary pur-
poses, probably occasioned by the near approach of
the dividends due at Midsummer; bat there seems
every prospect of an easy money market continuing,
and probably at even lower rates when the divi-
dends come into the hands of the public. Under
these c;-- roses it seems more than likely
that • further rise in the funds ; for it is

. we may sees.
difficult to see how money can be invested otherwise,
and with so much uncertainty still pervading conti-
nental politics, it is very probable that investment'
for foreign account will continue to be made in the
securities of this country.
The French Renter have come better from Paris to-
day. They closed yesterday in the Bourse, the Three
per Cents. at 53.60 ; the Five per Cent". at 87.25.
The premium on gold yesterday at Paris was 111
per mills, which at the English mint price of
31. 17s. 100. per ounce fox standard gold, gives an
exchange of 25.431, ; and the exchange at Paris on
London at short being 25.37 i, it follows that gold is
0.24 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London.
By last advicee, the course of exchange at New
York on Louden was 109 per ant., and the par of
exchange between England end America being 109
23-40 per cent, it follows that the exchange is 0.68
per cent. against England ; but the quoted exchange
at New York being for bills at 60 days sight, the inte-
rest must be deducted from the above difference.

At the close of business the snail from Hamburg
had not arrived.

In the foreign exchanges to-day there was no va-
riation from last post, the rates being the same as on
Tuesday. The following were the negotiations :

ThrGeneral Council of the Bank of France have
declared a dividend for the first six months of the
current year of fifty-four franca per share. The
merchants of Courtray had given public notice,
that in order to avoid extra postage, they have
determin• d to prepay their letters, and to receive
none that are not prepaid.
The Belgian government have announced the
extension, to the end of 1850, of the pay-

Ad does front Amsterdam report the market as
very brisk for coffee, and several pucels of good
ordinary Java were placed at 24 to 241 cents.
The commercial advice. from Alexandria to the
18th inst. report that the government continued to
demand extravagant prices for beans, say, piestres4o,
at which it was impossible to purchase. Piastres 35,
equal to 14s. 5d., were offered. A sale of new wheat
to arrive had just been concluded to the extent of
30,000 ardebs, at piastres 50, and 20,000 ardeba
more at a price not yet fixed. Old Said was still
held at piastres 46 to 47. New Beheira was p .id
with piastres 35 and 36. In other grains and pulse
then was nothing doing. In cotton there wee no al-
teration, and the business done was limited to a few
trifling saes. Flax also continued the same. Ton-
nage was still scarce, and much wanted.

Batavia letters announce that the opening. of the
Lee ports of Nienado and Kerns had been celebrated
with much rejoicing at those places.
