the woman's death stole the necklace now identified by Mr.

MONEY MARKET.

SATURDAY EVENYND.

The public securities opened heavily this morning,
and continued without animation to the close, the
same influences remaining in operation. The Bank
averages, though, upon the whole, indicative of a
tolerably easy state of affairs, as regards the position
of the institution itself, tend rather to confirm the
accuracy of the opinion expressed in certain quarters,
that a good deal of stringency must for some time
exist in the money market, than the contrary. The
corporation has again added some amount to its stock
of coin and bullion, but the gain is so inconsiderable,
as to suggest the probability of a decrease being pre-
, sently once more in operation, since that gain
is below 15,0001. This circumstance, coupled with
the fact that the reserve of notes in tke banking
department has actually undergone a diminution of
about 40,0001., leads to the belief theta season of even
comparative pressure is likely to be experienced. The
Bank directors have been so far uniformly liberal in
their discounts, and there can be no fear that they
will continue to afford all the assistance to the public
that is well practicable, but gold is understood to be
again going to the United States, in payment for
cotton and articles of food, and should the amount be
as considerable as some persons anticipate, there must
necessarily be a discriminating attention to limitation.

The failure of the old banking firm of Mews. Clay-
tons and Co., of Preston, has been adverted to. Their
liabilities are stated, in a Manchester paper, to be
about 400,0001. They appear to have advanced the
house of Eccles and Co., the cotton-spinners, near
Preston, the failure of which was recently mentioned,
about 20,0001., and the knowledge of their having
suffered various losses from bad debts, independently
of this, produced a want of confidence on the part of
their customers, and a consequent withdrawal of de-
posits. The house is well spoken of, and regret is
accordingly expressed that it should have been placed
in difficulties.
