STIULL OF Tlll COLLIE
minster, in the vicinity of Bristol, and the scene of the recent
almost miraculous escape of 42 men and boys, after haying
been buried alive for 36 hours, abounds, as is well known,
in collieries • and during the past week has been conside-
rably excited by tumultuous assemblages of the colliers be-
longing to the old company:* works, who are now on strike,
and who have gone about intimidating the men willing to
work at the other coalpits until they have produced almost
a general strike, the 31alago works being now the only one
in work, and at which works the men are paid by the ton.
The strike, which was originally confined to the old com-
pany's pita, arose from a difference between the men and
the employers as to the remuneration paid for a given quint-
tity of work, the men alleging that the masters had made such
an alteration in the ca-ts that the quantity of work required
of them was beyond human endurance; the masters on
the other band declaring these statements to be untrue' and
declaring that they now require no more work to be done
by the men than has been done for the last seventeen years.
However this may be, we know not ; but the men of the
other collieries have now joined the men on strike, having
been, as they say, compelled to do so. Bedminster has
consequently during the past week been the scene of con-
siderable disorder, not unmixed with violence. A boy who
persisted in working was waylaid, beaten, and thrown
into a stream, where, if the water had been a little deeper,
in all probability he would have been drowned. The men
employed at the North-side Colliery have since the acci-
dent been by an arrangement working at Mr. Knight's
colliery, and after the persons working there had been
induced to strike, five or six of them having ex-
pressed their intention to resume work in the course
of the week, the men on strike proceeded to the house of
one of them, beat in the door, and rushed into the house,
and commenced a savage assault upon the man, the mob
consisting of upwards of 300 colliers, being headed by the
man's own brother. Other persons fortunately interfered
or the result might have been a fatal one. The next day the
whole of the colliers on strike proceeded in a body to the
Bedminster union. house, and demanded relief, but were

very properly refused by the chairman, who said that ss
long as there was coal under ground and work offered them
they should not have one farthing of relief. The disturb-
ances continuing, it was at length deemed necessary for
the magistrates to interfere, and two of the ringleaders who
were taken into custody were convicted for threats and in-
timidation towards James Smith, one of the Bedminster
Coal Company's workmen, and another man, named
Woodbridge, was committed for trial at the moires. War-
rants were also granted against several others, and the ma-
gistrates expressed their determination to use the most
energetic measures for the preservation of the public peace.

THIS DAY.
Two o'CLisow.

The arrangements for the settlement of the fort-
night's account in shares have been commenced to-
day, and though the rates of " continuation" rule
light, the market has been heavy, and at
one time was rather severely depressed,
especially for Lancashire and Yorkshires and Mid-
lands. A partial rally, however, has since occurred,
and prices now look better again. The fluctuation
to-day has, in several instances, been greater than for
some time past.

MONEY MARKET.
THIS DAT.

Two o'CLeci.

The English stock market hasopened this week with it
a steady appearance, and thoagh no great accession of ,
business is yet perceptible, prices have been firmly
maintained at the improved rates established at the 1,
close of last week. The purchases on account of the
Sinking Fund will be resumed to-morrow, and will I,
further add to the buoyancy of the market.
Thursday next is settling day in the Consol
market, and on Wednesday the account in railway II
shares and &reign stocks will be brought to a '
liquidation. Though the business in these departments
during the periods embraced has been, generally speak-
ing, by no means of an active character, it is
very probable that money in the Stock Exchange will
command rather better terms than of late. Still,
with the great amount of capital offering for employ- ,
meat, this partial and temporary demand can have
very little influence on the money market at large. ,
Consols have remained steady at 97 to & ex div.,
both for money and Thursday. The official report of
business is as follows: Three per Cent. Consols, 97i,
97 • ditto for account, 97, k ; Three per Cent. Re-
duced,; 971, ; New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.,
99, ; Long Annuities, 1860, 7: ; Bank Stock, 214;
India Stock, 262.
,- Exchequer Bills are steady, with not much doing
the LOOK bills mark 545. and Ole. prem. ; ditto
small, 515. India Bonds, large and small, 595. prem.
Business in the foreign stock market has been
limited as regards actual transactions, attention being
directed to the settlement of the account which expires
on Wednesday. There is scarcely the least change
in prices, almost the only quotable alteration being
a further improvement in Sardinian Sciip, which has
touched par. This is settling day for the scrip, and
a heavy amount of „bearing" operations is under-
stood to have been shown. The bargains as
yet reported consist of :—Brazilian Old Five per
Cents., small bonds, 901. Dutch Four Cents. Certi-
ficates, for account 31st July, 921. French Five
per Cent. Rentes, 93f. 75c. ; exchange, 25c. Mexican
Bonds, 321. Peruvian Five per Cents., 1849, 89;

The Niagara, from the United. States, the arrival
of which vessel is reported from Liverpool this
morning, has brought in the large amount of
901,000 dole., of which 128,000 dols., are for Havre.

SATURDAY EVENING.
The speculators in Mexican have now discovered that
the Mexican government have found out means of
anticipating the former instalments, and the follow-
ing note has been handed to us :
With regard to the payment of the indemnity money, the
following are the real facts of the case :—As soon as Con-
gress has voted each year's instalment, the minister in
Washington invites parties of responsibility to negotiate the
payment in Mexico. Messrs. Barings, for instance, receive
the money in the United States, and on given terms engage
to pay the amount to Mexico. Messrs. B.'s agent in that
city informs the Mexican minister that either at maturity
the whole amount will be paid, or, if preferred, by =tied-
instalments under discount. This has been the in-
'variableP
plan adopted, and of course will be adopted again
in the ease of the bondholders, except that instead of going
to Mexico the money will be paid in London. As for
ing the money in gold or silver in Mexico, such a thing
would be entirely oat of the question. And although by
treaty the Americans aro bound to adopt this way of pay-
ment, the fact is that it never has been adopted.
We cannot pretend to say, with the writer of this,
that the instalments never have been paid in Mexico,
and the more particularly. as in high financial quar-
ters a very different opinion prevails, but we are not
ignorant that the Mexican government have found
means of anticipating the instalments, but they have
likewise found means of anticipating the anticipa•
tione, as in the case of the home creditors, who,
having received a draft for 2,500,000 dollars, were
called upon to re•lend 1,000,000 dollars out of t,
which forms one of the chief resources of the Mexi-
can trefeary. It will be remembered that it is not
long since there was a rumour that the Mexican
administration proposed resorting to the same step
with the foreign creditors, which at any rate, though
it was denied, showed the opinion which prevails in
Mexico as to the character of these indemnity drafts.
We have received from Messrs. liaalewood the
following important communication as to Peruvian
Bonds :

15, Angel-court, Bank, London, July 11, 1851.
Annexed is a copy of the account rendered by Messrs.
Anthony Gibbs and bons to Messrs. Rivers and C. and T.
Murrietta, the commissioners for the Anglo-Peruvian debt,
of the quantity of guano sold in this country.
By it you will observe that the amount of cash handed
over (being half the profits arising from the sale of the
guano) is 107,2001. Out of this sum the dividend due in
October next, s 42,6501., has been retained in hand, and
the remaining 64,5.501. has been employed in purchasing
53,1001. Peruvian Active and 36,700/. Deferred, which have
been cancelled.
I have no doubt that a similar sum of 65,0001. will be at
the disposal of the commissioners in December next for the
like purpose, and in the year 1852 it will not surprise me if
upwards of 200,0001. should bo at their control (after the
deduction of the dividend), to be employed solely to buy up
the debt.
_ . .

In recommending Peruvian active stock to your notice,
as a safe and a secure investment, I do so because the large
surplus applied to the sinking fund ensures the regularity
of the dividends; because of the high rate of interest which
it now pays on the money invested, say 51, percent., and on
the larger rate it will give in 1853, when it will pay Gj per
cent. ; because the quantity of guano which will arrive
within the ensuing twelve months will not be less than
150,000 tons ; because the demand for the guano is not only
increasing in this country, but also in all other parts of the
world ; because the guano on the Chincha Islands is in-
exhaustible, and from the peculiar nature of these rainless
islands it is not likely. that any other guano will be dis-
covered elsewhere retaining the ammonia, which constitutes
the pre-eminent value of Peruvian guano.
The Peruvian government have cancelled, in addition to
the above, 27,2001. active, and 29,1001. deferred.—l re-
main, &c., P. pro. Laws, H. HASLEWOOD.
EDWARD lIABLEWOOD.

Statement of the import sales and stock of Peruvian
guano received by Anthony Gibbs and Sons for account of
the Peruvian government, and sent by order of the said
government to the Peruvian agency fot the Anglo-Peruvian
debt.
Total imports, 130,480 tons ; total sales, 87,894 tons ;
stock on hand unsold this 30th of June, 1851, 42,686 tons.
Nett proceeds of 3,742 tons as per ac-
count rendered to the Peruvian agency
to the 31st of December £15,736 19 4
Nett proceeds of 46,491 tons u per ac-
count sales rendered to the Peruvian
government since, producing 196,810 7 11

£212,546 7 8

giving an average of 41. 4s. 71d. per ton.
Besides the sal,. of 14..33 Wl• hove effected further
salsa to the extent of 37,661 tons, of which account sales
cannot yet be rendered, partly from various claims
for average being unavoidably pending, but principally
because the sales of the different cargoes are only partially
eaucluded. Having received the amount of these sales, we
estimate the proceeds will be about espial to those already
rendered, namely 41. 48. 7 ~ or 159,35;11. 2s. Id.
We therefore place this day at the disposal of the Peru-
vian agency above mentioned,one-half of the nett proceeds,
or 183,9491. 14e. Bd., less the amounts paid by orders of the
government, for the dividends of October 1830 and April
18.51, 78,7501.• leaving 107,1991. 14s. Sd or, in round
numbers, 107d001. ; and whatever difference there may be
for or against in the proceeds of the 37,661 tons will be
added to or deducted from the next half-yearly statement.

This return is satisfactory, for though the increase
of bullion is small, the reduction of tho paper money
continues. _ _ _

The bullion market during the week has been
steady at home nad abroad. The present quotations
of the market are thus reported by Messrs. Sharps
and Wilkins:—Bar gold, 3/. 17s. 9d. per ounce
standard; American gold eagles, 31. 16s. 31d. per

The total amount of the preCious metals exported
direct from London during the week ending Thurs-
day last, we learn from official sources, was as fol-
lows :—Gold coin : To Dunkirk, 1,000 ounces • to
Belgium, 5,973 ounces. Silver bars: To Rotterdam,
51,447 ounces; to Hamburg, 4,943 ounces. Silver

value of about 73,8001. _ _

Besides the exports from the port of London the
Teviot has taken 47,0901. from Southampton for the
Brazils.

The analysis of tho railway traffic returns of the
United Kingdom afforded by Ilerapalh's Journal,
continues to show a large increase over last year. The
total receipts for the last week on 6,328 miles,
amounted to 318,8884, equal to 501. 10s. per mile per
week. In the corresponding week of 1850 they were
260,9061. on 5,889 miles, or 441. ss. per mile per
week. There is thus an increase of 57,9821., or
22.22 per cent. in the aggregate receipts, an increase
in the mileage of 439 miles, or 7.45 per cent., and an
increase of 61. ss. in the amount received per mile
per week.
Tho Railway Times notices the important intel-
ligence from Birmingham to the effect that the Wol-
verhampton and Dudley line, under the united sanc-
tion of its directors and its legal purchasers, the
Great Western, is to be constructed with all possible
despatch. This will involve a call of 51. yet remain-
ing to be paid on the 20/. shares, as well as a com-
mencement of the borrowing powers of the company
which have not yet been exercised. The total capital
is 700,0001., of which 525,0001. has been called in.
