THE FENIAN INSURRECTION.

MURDER OF A SUSPECTED INFORMER.
DUBLIN, Fumy NIGHT.
. _

All is quiet in Tipperary, Limerick, and Cork,
and there have been no arrests lately in Dublin.
To-day 41 prisoners, including Burke, who is
called " the General," were moved by train from
Tipperary to Clonmel, for trial at the special com-
mission. An escort accompanied them to the sta-
tion in Tipperary, where a large crowd followed
and cheered them.

In a circular to the Cork magistrates Lord Fer-
moy says he has reason to apprehend that a second
attempt to rise will take place on either Saturday
or Sunday night next. lie therefore recommends
that no time should be lost in enrolling special
constables wherever the magistrates may apprehend
disturbance.

Michael Gleason, brother of the notorious Gene
ral Gleeson, has been arrested near Nenagh.
A number of Fenian were arrested on Thursday
evening near Borrisoliegh, county Tipperary.
One of them, named Carrol, was alone released.
Being suspected of informing on his companions a
party of Fenian lay in wait for and murdered him,
by cutting his throat when on his way home.

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Oirs o'Cwcx.

The transactions in public securities to-day z.re
upon a limited scale, and prices in most cased are
quoted the same as yesterday. The markets, on
the whole, are steadier. Speculative sales have
been partly checked by the influx of gold to the
Bank, and the announcement that nearly 650,000 t.
is on the way from Australia to England, a large
portion of which, according to present appear-
ances, will be retained here. English government
stocks are unchanged, but some of the home rail-
way shares have improved, the principal move-
ment being in Caledonian. Foreign bonds exhibit
no variation of importance.

There is less demand for money to-day, and the
supply has increased. The quotation for choice
bills, however, is maintained at 21 to ; per cent.
The rate for short loans in the Stock Exchange,
on English government securities, is 2; per cent.
Consols are now quoted 91 to it for money,
and 91; to I for the 10th of April.
Foreign stocks are inactive, and the speculatve
descriptions present no change, with the exception
of a rise of ; to I per cent. in Russian Scrip and
Turkish of 1865, and a reduction ofd in Greek
Bonds. Turkish of 1865 are quoted 301 to; ; Greek,
15; to / ; Spanish Passive, 211 to 221 ; ditto Cer-
tificates, 14,E to 1; Italian of 1861, 53; to ; Mexi-

—§uhicinOd is a translation of the letter received
by Messrs. Baring Brothers from the Mexican
Financial Commission in Paris, and previously re-
ferred to:

Paris, March 13, 1567.

Gentlemen,—l have the honour to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your two letters of 4th and Bth March current, in
which you request information on the subject of the sums
recently transmitted from Mexico arising from the receipts
of the custom-house of Vera Cruz. The Mexican Financial
Commisaion has in fact received at two separate tunes
through the medium of the French Treasury a sum of
290,976 francs 55 centimes, with the simple designation,
Delegation Anglaise (payment on English account). I NU
inclined to believe that these funds are intended for the
holders of Mexican Three per Cent. Bonds, the arrears of
which have up to this time been paid through you. But
on the one hand I have not received orders from
the Mexican government to remit you the funds
under consideration, and on the other the absence of pre-
cise information as to the destination of these funds does
not permit me to hand them over; in the meantime, pend-
ing information and instructions which have been asked
for I have deposited the above-mentioned sum at the
" Caine des Depots et Consignations" until it can be re-
gularly disposed of. Besides which, it will not have es-
caped you that the small amount of the sum in (juestion
renders it impouible for you to proceed with it either to
the payment of the half-year due on the Ist July, 1866,
or of that of let January, 1867 ; each of which half-yearly
payments requires a sum of 5,710,238 f. 10c. Accept, gentle-
men, the assurance of my distinguished consideration,
(Signed) Count CH. HE GEHMINY, Senator,
President of the Mexican Financial Commision.

St. Benet's Church. The oomph tun of there preall-rs
will terminate all budding o redone, and the capital 44:-
count will t►en be pr closed. The directors feel
confident that the collective properties of the company
will prove a safe and retuunerative investment. The di
rectors recommend tbst the amount of 3,8991. Is. id.,
standing to the cre.lit of the profit and loos, be worried for-
ward to the next account.

A memorial t the Treasury has been signed by
the leading firms aad banks 'in the China trade
on the subject of the postal service. According
to a table published in the London and Mita TeU-
graph, it appears that the difference of time occu-
pied by the Peninsular and Oriental Company over
the Ifessageries Impetiales is seven days in the
transit from Shanghai. The memorialists state
that if the service were performed without the
pprraessee t delays the time between Hong Kong and
Dlatseilles could be reduoed to 37 days.

The aubjoined report on the bullion market is
from the circular of Messrs. Sharps and Wilkins :
The silver market during the past fortnight has re-
mained tolerably firm at to. oict. per ounce standard, not-
withstanding the large amount 4 which have arrived from
America. At the come to-day we have no alteration to
report, though in the event of any extensive imports oe-
eurnag immediately, the market, in the absence of any
Indian demand, would probably become slightly weaker,
as the continental exchanges are unfavourably affected by
the decline in the value of money inAmsterdam and Ham-
burg. Small puicliaees i.f bar silver have been made
within the last few days for shipment to India, though as
yet the demand has not .assumed any appearance of import-
ance. These few timsactions have been caused ti the
high limits at wlde!t only allotments of the Indian Coun-
cil Dills could be obtained. The inquiry may become
more pronounced when the intentions of the government
become known as to the future rates at which they may be
disposed to effect sales of their bills on the three Presi-
dencies. Meanwhile, silver is almost as favourable a
means of remittance to India as the Indian Council drafts.
Mexican dollars are firm at 4s. lltd. per ounce, earl will
probably so remain in view of the possible increase in the
Eastern demand for silver. The arrivals of gold are still
purchased for export, though the inquiry is by no means
extensive.
