asmon.—The City Solicitor attended to =ewer to
a complaint made by Mr. Fern, the proprietor of
the Black Boy and Camel pub-honse, Leadenhall-
market, respecting a door from his premises into
the market. He mid that the statements made by
Mr. Fare y were a series of misremmentatians. The
nuisance he had complained of, if ft existed, mast be
either his own or his landlord'. fault. With regard to the
mesplaint that the City Solicitor had caused the door leading
into the market to be haunted up, the proceeding was not
resorted to without reason. The two doors through Mr.
Ferey's premises offered a reedy escape for people thieving
from the market ; one man who had stolen a goose from the
market had escaped through it. He bad received due notice
to block up the door himself, but had not done so. As to
the door being the only means of ventilation, that was a
mere pieteoco. If Mr. Furey were permitted to open both
doors, the vehicle, stopping on either side of his house would
be a great inconvenience to the neighbourhood.—The Lord
Mayor was perfectly iatialed with the statement of the City
Solicitor, who he expected would be able entirely to refute
Mr. Farey's savant.

therefore discharged.

MONEY MARKET.

MONDkT ETEetwo.

The week has opened with an improved appear-
ance of funded values, and a more steady tone of the whet,
although the transactions have been et considerable extent.
Conro'a were first marked 861 to 1 bath for money and ac-
count. This absence of difference betwixt money and time
bargain arose from the scarcity of money stock. for the loan
of which the speculators were conient to lodge bank notes
without interest, or t I purchase against resale, with the loss
of a continuation, for the six weeks of the account to
run. Consols advanced to 87 to 1 subsequently upon
some important purchases made, as supposed, for the He-
brew interest. The Bank broker was also on the market as a
buyer, although not as believed for the establishment, but on
account of private clients. As he did not operate from the
" tox " it may be taken for granted also that be was not
acting for the Commissioners of the National Debt for any
porti..n of his transactions. Eventually, however, the market
underwent a slight re-action, and did not close quite so good.
Consols left off at 861 to 1 for money, and 861 to 7 for account,
and apparently firm. Reduced Threes were 86 to 1. Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents., 871 to 1. Exchequer Bills, 21.
discountto Is. premium. Long Annuities,B 15-16 to 9. India
Stock, 244 to 6.
Rather more activity of business may be noticed in foreign
stocks, but without any material alteration in prices. It
seems probable that holders of the more heavy and steady
stocks may have found it convenient to realise funds for
other purposes, as amongst the stocks which changed hands
are to be remarked Austrian, Braaten, Chilian, the Portu-
guese Fives guaranteed by Brazil, French 5 per Cent.
Renter, and Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. Austrian
were done at 1091 to 1; Brazilian, at 82i ; Chilian, at 93;
Portuguese, at 831; French Rennes, at 115, at the exchange
of 25.671 and 621; Belgian, at 961. Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. were 581 to 1; the Fours, 891 to 901. Spa-
nish Fives remain 251 to 1 ; the Threes, 361 to 1. Portu-
guese 341 to 51. Mexican, 201 to 1.
It is understood in respectable quarters that the Bank'
directors have made, and feel, the position of the establish-
ment easier and more satisfactory than latter*
would seem to have been the case. If it be
true, as stated, that they have takes, and com-
municated to the parties concerned, their determination
to contract the line of discount, hitherto allotted in each
mercantile case, and in no case to accept any but first-rate
paper, the effect upon the stock of " other" securities cannot
fail to show in a marked if not rapid diminution of quantity
and value. The reserve should of course be strengthened to
a corresponding extent. Money was reported to be more
easy in the general discount market, but it must be observed
that this was not a day of much money payment and busi-
ness. Some considerable amounts of sovereigns will go for-
ward by the steamer to-morrow, and by packet-ships during
the week, to the United States, but a sort of vague expecta-
tion appears to be entertained that the quantity will more
the, be replaced by some operation for the import of ingots
from Russia, to which the late appointment of the Bank as
the financial agency for the Roman government will doubt-
less have given rise.
A respected correspondent at Monmouth points out an
inaccuracy in some remarks under this head on the 15th
instant on the circular notice to bankers from the office of
stamps and taxes, in reference to notes payable to order
en demand, or after date, the re-issue of which was declared
from that office to be illegal. The inancuracy alluded to we
find on examination, to be:verbal ; for " payable to bearer
on demand," it should be, "to order on demand.'•
The writer of this letter, signing " An Enemy to Currency
Tricks," gives the following forms of notes or drafts as
thole in use with some country banks, for evading the legal
restraints of the acts for regulating the currency, which it
may be of interest to make known.
