MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o' Clock. —The extraordinary and awful events
at Naples, as given in the Daily News this morning,
have made a deep impression in the City, where but
one opinion is expressed about the atrocious conduct
of the sovereign. This is one other of the adverse
circumstances which arrive day by day, and exercise
in the mass such a depressing influence upon stock
values, which, otherwise, the course of demand and
investment on the part of the public could scarcely fail
to improve in price. We have, however, a slight
advance upon the opening quotations of the market.
Consols are now 841 to for money and time, but
with business inactive. Reduced Threes, 821 to I.

We have a report in the City that Lord Claren-
don has been sent for from Ireland to take
the direction of the Foreign Office, but little
credit is attached to it, as it is thought that it
would be extremely inconvenient, if not dan-
gerous, to withdraw him from Dublin, where
his services have been of such eminent advantage,
under present critical circumstances. Spanish arc

RAILWAYS.—The share market is at Front
inactive, and few bargains are taking place. The
dealers and brokers begin to complain of the absence
of business. The pries, however, of shares remain
firm, and most of the operations are bone fide. Lon-
don and Yorks are 9: to d. North Staffords 2: to 2d.
Brightons, 331 to 4. Caledonians, 32 to I. London
and North Westerns are scarcely so good, the first
price quoted being 133, and the last 131. French
remain the same as before.

CATTLE, B:C.—SMITHFIELD, Tics e'Clock.—The
supply of Beasts today is not very large, quite adequtte,
however, to the demand. Buyers are cautious; but prices
remain about the same as ou Monday last. There is a consi-
derable increase in the number of Sheep and Lamb.. The
former sold slowly at rather lower rates; of the latter, the
choicest descriptions made nearly as much as of late ; tut
second-rate were with difficulty disposed of at considerable
reduction. The number of Calves on offer is unusually large;
prices are consequently lower. Trade is very heavy for
Pies. From Holland, there are 149 Beasts, 660 Sheep, end
204 Calves, and 143 milch Cows from the home couaties.

CORN.-MARK-LANE.-The supplies of all de-
scriptions of grain of home-growth have hien very moderate
since Monday, but the receipts of foreign Wheat, Barley
and Oats have kern considerable during that period. En-
glish Wheat sold very slow y, as did also new foreign, at
prices barely equal to those of last Monday ; but the
inferior descriptions of old foreign were in request,
both on Wednesday and to-day, for shipment coast-
wise and to Ireland, at rather higher prices than
have lately been obtainable. Barley, in consequence of large
fortign arrival:, could only be sold at a it cline of Is. per qr.
Oats, from the same cause, were 6d. cheaper. Beans and
Peas much the same as last quoted.
Btautrrunan, May 25.-Doring the present week trains.
actions have again been on a limited ,cafe, and the value of
Wheat is nominally unaltered. Barley ~00tinues scarce, and
Irish grinding meets a ready sale at Ws. to 31s. per 3921 be.
at Birmingham. Very litile passing in Beans. No Pew
offering. The rains of last week are followed by the finest
poeeble weather. At this day's market there was •
limited suppiy of Wheat from the farmers, and a trifling
advance was obtained, but all other kinds of grain ruled (14
at the prices of this day seonight. Barley 1.. per qr. lower.
Oars sold slowly, at a decline of 61. to la. per qr., and Beane
Dodd not be disposed of without submitting to • similar
reduction. Prices:-Wheat, English, white, per bushel
of G2lbs., 61. 3d. to 6s. 10d. ; new, 6e. 4d. to 61. 91. ; red,
