MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Deo o'Clock.—Consols have recovered this morning
the check they experienced yesterday from the unfa-
vourable tenor of the news from Paris, fully
confirmed as it is this morning. They are
and have been steady at 86/ to 1 for money, and
861 to 4 for account, without, however, much brini-
ness. Exchequer Bills, 295. to 325. premium.
Beyond some slight variations in the quotations we
have no particular feature in foreign securities. Dutch
Two-and-it Half per Cents., which have been
heavy for some time past, have now de-
clined to 44t to 61; the Fours are still
701 to 11. Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. u
before, 70 to 2. Danish,'.6B to 72. Russian, 98 to
100. Mexican remain 161 to 17. Chilian,
have further improved to 86 to 8. Brazilian,
74 to 8. New Grenada are lower, at 11 to 12.
Venezuela are also in decline, at 14 to 16. Spanish
Fives remain 111 to 12 ; the Threes are somewhat
better, at 23 to 4. Passive, 23 to 31. Portuguese
211 to 21. There is difficulty in moving most of
these stocks in any amount, and the exceptions are
chiefly Russian and Chilian.
The general half-yearly meeting of the Bank
proprietary, for the purpose of considering the rate
of dividend and other special business, is now hold-
ing. After some preliminary remarks, the governor
proposed a resolution for declaring a dividend at the
rate of 31 per cent. for the half-year, income-tax paid,
or 1 per cent. less than the rate for the half-year pre-
ceding. Mr. Fielden, M.P., then rose, and pro-
ceeded to animadvert upon certain former statements
of the directors and their management, concluding, as
we understood, with proposing an amendment that
the rate should be continued at 44 per cent.
This proposition was supported by Mr. de Winton,
the head of the well-known wealthy banking firm of
Messrs. Wilkins and & Co., of South Wales. Mr.
Levi, in a humerons speech, and other proprietors,
followed in the same direction. It was objected
by the governor and some of the directors,
that a dividend of 31 per cent. represented as nearly
as possible the exact real profits of the bank for the
period, and that a larger rate could not be paid with-
out infringing upon the Rest, or reserve fund.
When 41 per cent. was before divided, the profits of
the banker were larger in proportion. One of the
proprietor, suppuUd the directors in their resolution,
and reminded the meeting that they should not
only look to their own gains, but recollect that they
should ad also for the public, who might conceive
their security to be endangered if the Rest were to be
encroached upon. After several gentlemen bad
spoken, it was decided to refer the original motion
and the amendment to a ballot, to be taken on Wed-
nesday next.

LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPT. 21.
THE French National Assembly is making haste to
get through the chapters and the articles of the new
constitution. Hitherto the malcontent spirit of public
opinion ha 3 been applied chiefly to the depreciation of
successive governments, and of those who influenced
or composed them. More recently, a feeling of mis-
trust has begun to manifest itself against the assembly
itself, as if it too was chargeable with the stagnation
of trade and paralysis of credit.
These censures of the government, of the assembly,
and of the republic, have chiefly proceeded from the
provinces, where the legitimists as well as the
Orleanists are active. Aid from this provincial re-
action, and these provincial intrigues, many look to
a speedy change, and to a restoration of one kind or
another. We must own that the French provinces
do not appear to as to have shown more wisdom,
steadiness, or courage than the Parisians. They
bowed their heads before the republic without mar-
-1 mar or protest. They neither aided ner resisted the
1 efforts of the government to restore order. The
1 rustic French have, indeed, declared themselves en-
thusiastic for order, and many. of them marched to
put down the communists in Paris. But the
same rustics have acted the parts of com-
munists and anarchists themselves, by refusing
to pay rents to the landlords or taxes to the state.
Lawlessness and selfishness have everywhere pre-
veiled, and no lase in the villages than in the cities.
Should these qualities go so far as to embolden one
town to proclaim HENRY V. anther spina of the
House o Orleans, and a third Loots BUONAPARTE,
the chaos that must ensue would be frightful. Criti-
cise and despise it as they will, there is no safety or
peace for France save in the republic.
The National Assembly, right and left, seems to
perceive this, and it hastens to expedite the task of
the constitution, so as to arrive at the election of a
president, or chief of the executive. The present
condition of_ government is indeed dangerous and in-
tolerable. The head of the executive is merely one
of the ministry, If the opposition in the Assembly do
its duty, and defeat the government on any question
in which the latter is palpably in the wrong, they by
that not only unseat the ministry, but they destroy
the whole executive power, thus leaving the weary
~,
