THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN
AUSTRIA AND ITALY.
FLORENCE, Slim 5.
- - -

The first official conference for the conclusion of
peace between Italy and Austria took place at
Vienna the day before yesterday, when the draft
of several articles was signed by the Italian and
Austrian plenipotentiaries.

AMERICA.
QUEENSTOWN, Barr. 5,

The Inman steamer City of Lundon, from New
York on the 25th ult., arrived here at 9.30 a.m.
to-day with the mails, 40,000 dole. in specie, and
346 passengers. She landed 70 passengers, and
proceeded for Liverpool at 10 a.m.—all well.

MONEY MARKET.- (THIS DAY.)

Ots o'OLum.

Notwithstanding the broken weather, the stock
markets to-day are firm, a strong hope being enter-
tained that the rate of discount at the Bank of
England will be reduced to 5 per cent. at the
weekly court to-morrow. Consols, in which pre-
parations fur the monthly settlement to-morrow
have formed the chief business, are well supported
at yesterday afternoon's quotations. As regards
British railways, there is no change, with the
exception of a decline of i per cent, in Metropo-
litan, but a fractional improvement has taken
place in some of the principal foreign stocks. The
only speculative excitement observable to-day has
been in the shares of the Anglo-American Tele-
graph and Atlantic Telegraph Companies, which
have experienced a fresh rise ; the demand for the
former is especially strong.

The discount market to-day is very quiet, and, in
expectation of a reduction in the Bank rate to-
morrow, good bills are readily taken at 5 per cent.,
or, in exceptional cases, at 41.

Consols are now quoted 891 to both for
money and to-morrow's settlement, and 89r to
for October.

Foreign stocks are generally rather firmer.
Turkish Bonds of 1802 are somewhat better, and
there is an improvement of per cent. in (Greek,
Italian of 1861, and Spanish Passive and Certificates.
Turkish Bonds of 1862 are now quoted 51 t 053 ; ditto
of 1865, 272 to 28 ; Greek, 14.1 to 15 ; Spanish Pas-
sive, 222 to 231 ; ditto Certificates, 15i to 16 ;
Italian, of 1861, 55 to ; and Mexican, 16t1 to a.
The leading American securities are unaltered.
United States 5-20 Bonds are quoted 721 to 73 ;
Erie Railway shares, 461 to 1 ; and Illinois Cen-
tral, 781 to 791. _ .

International Financial shares are quoted 11 to
1 die. ; London Financial, 13} to 12l die. ;
fleneral Credit, 1} to 11 die. ; and Credit Foncier,
31; to 2* dia.

Anglo-American Telegraph shares are quoted 15
to pi, and Atlantic Telegraph 8 per cent. preference
q to 3 per share, showing in each case a further
considerable improvement.

HALF-PAST THREE o'CLocir.
Consols are now rather better, at 891 l for money
and to-morrow, and 891 to I for October.

It is said that the resources of the Bank of
England are still being largely added to through
the expiration of its advances on private se_
curities, and as, in addition to this, the
continued influx of gold, and the progressive
fall in the value of money in the general disc-
ount market, appear to point to a reduction in
the Bank rate to-morrow to 5 per cent.,
many of the speculators for a rise show undimin-
ished confidence. As usual, these speculatora have
outstripped the operations of the public, but there
is, beyond doubt, a steady current of investments,
prompted by the return of peace in Europe, and by
tho prospect of a still cheaper money market.
The number of bills that fell due yesterday (the
4th of the month) was large, though the amount:was
not so heavy as that which will be due on the 4th
of next month. The applications at the Bank dis-
count-office, nevertheless, were few. The general
market was likewise quiet, and well supplied with
money, and, in anticipation of the Bank of England
minimum being lowered to-morrow to 5 per
cent., no difficulty was experienced in getting
choice bills negotiated at that rate. In exceptional
cases transactions took place at 41.
The influx of gold to the Bank continues. The
amount sent in yesterday AV as 91,0001. —viz. , 75,0001.
in bars and 16,000 sovereigns, the latter chiefly
from Egypt. Since the date of the last retnrn, the
total bought is 485,0001., but, as 150,0001. has
been withdrawn for export during the same period,
the net gain appears to have been 335,0001.
The continued fall in the value of money in this
country is producing its natural effect on the
foreign exchar.ges, which yesterday afternoon were
again in many cases rather lower. The usual list is
subjoined :

Amsterdam, 3 months, 12.0 to 12.01 ; ditto, short,
11.17 to 11.18 ; Rotterdam, 3 month., 12.0 to 12.04 ;
Antwerp, 3 months, 25.524 to 25.571 ; Brawls, 3

to 6.Z8; St. Petersburg, 3 months. 28A to 281 ; Paris,short,
25.24 to 25.32 ; ditto, 3 months, 2.5.40 to 25.474 ; Mar-
seilles, 3 m0nth5,2.5.40 to 25.474 ; Frankfort-on-the-Maine,
3 months, 1204 to 1201 ; Vienna, 3 months, 13.25 to

Re Overend, Gurney, and Co. (limited).
65, Lombard-street, London, EC., Sept. 4, 1866.
Gentlemen,—As a depositor of this company I was ori-
ginally appointed one of a eomruittee of three, for the pur-
pose of protecting the interests of the creditors ; bet this
has been found impracticable, for many reasons, and parti-
cularly from the fact that the other members of the com-
mittee are shareholders and therefore likely to dissent
from the views of a creditor. An application is about to
be made to the Court of Chancery by the other two mem-
bers of the committee, that they may be appointed to re-
present the interests of the contributories, but I am no
party to that application. Messrs. Lewis and Lewis have
obtained an order from the Court of Chancery, giving them
liberty to investigate the books and papers of the com-
pany, with the avowed object of obtaining materials to
ground proceedings to remove from the list of contribu-
tories the names of many of the shareholders, and thus
relieve them from all liability to the creditors, which
would I believe, if successful, seriously affect the prospect
which now exist; of the creditors being paid in full with
interest. Under these circumstances it is necessary- in my
opinion, and also in the opinion of those creditors with
whom I have hitherto communicated upon the subject,
that in order to enable me to protect the interests of the
creditors (as was intended by my original appointment),
anal to co-operate effectually in resisting the attempt of
the contributories to escape liability, I should be formally
appointed by the court under the provisions of the Act of
lzsi2' to represent the creditors, but I do not think it right
to ask the court to appoint me to that office before con-
sulting the creditors thereon. If you approve of the
course I am advised to pursue, be pleased to sign the en-
closed form and return it to my solicitors, Messrs.
Ashurst, Morris, and Co., 6, Old Jewry, London.—l am,
CHAR. OPPENHEIM.
