IN lit TMOMAI I.I•WKINA.-111C ISALOON oliNI DVS
COMPANY.
The insolvent, whose name has been frequently before the
public against the Saloon Omnibus Company, applied to be
discharged on bail till his bearing.
Mr. Reed appeared for seirersl &raceme of the Saloon
Omnibus Company, and Mr. Flux (Flax sod Aisles) for Mr.
Patrick Johnson, the edictal liquidator. Mr. Dowse sap.
ported the application.
Mr. Dowse objected to the opposition of the two parties,
and submitted that the official bquidatir was The only patty
to oppose.
Mr. t•ommisekser Murphy entertained a similar opinion,
sad mentioned a case in which an official liquidator heed
opposed an insolvent who had held some shares in • company.
Mr. Flux put in two orders of the Court of Chancery, in
whi, h costa wore ordered on a winding up peiiilon by the
inaolvenf, to the liquidator, and also to certain directors, fur
whom Mr. Reed opposed.
Mr. Commissioner Murphy decided that both parties could
oppose. One order was 811. and the other 701. 17e. 3d., and
there were distinct orders for costa.
Mr. Flux had ea objection to the schedule, and the learned
commissioner wished to go into toe sufficiency.
Mr. Brownish!, a butcher and trips dealer, in Little Elul-
street, and Mr. liscnamara, of the Royal Pavilion Gardens,
tendered themselves as WI for 6001., being the double
amount of coats and attachments on account of the law
s arising in the Metropolitan Saloon Omnibus
trra I'diz7pan It was also stated that the thoolvent had applied
to the Court of Bankruptcy fur his discharge, and it woe re-
fused.

Mr. Bramwell, on bin examination by Mr. Heed, raid his
property in Little Batt-•trees, where he had lived 15 years,
was worth 5004 Ha was willing to deposit a cheque far tho
whole amount.

Mr. Mao:moans said his property was worth 10,0001.
Mr. Comruirsioner Murphy was raddled with the bail on
Mr. Brownian depositiog 1001. He moldered that 1041. in
looney ..was worth 300 J. in furniture.
Mr. Flux then examined the witness se to his schedule.
Mr. Dowse objected to the case being gone into till the
hsniar'

11V..Titm said be had to complain that the insolvent had
!MU lated hiaacoount book,

Ths book tiled was sent for aad examined.
Mr. Reed took an objection to the schedule as not eon-
Wniag =um of the particular directors to whom cow
were ordered, and they should be insetted and allowed
melee.

—lb; Commissioner held that as the application had beam
waived, It was now too late to take the bkretion.
The insolverit said he could explain the removal of the
leaves, and could produce some papers.
Mr. Commissioner Murphy gold he certainly should re-
quire to be satisfied on the question of the Nob, as it was a
serious °Gum, and would preclude biro from taking the bail
for the insolvent.

The rm., which appeared to create a good deal of interest,
was *dimmed till to-morrow.

AWNEY MARKET-IEIS Ddik.

Two o'CLoar.

The funds are very firm to-day, and a fresh im-
provement of per cent. has taken place, although
businesspresentsnorevival. Thedealers in Cons°tsars
beginning to prepare for the settlement on Tuesday
next. In the other departments of the Stook Ex
change, notwithstanding the limited nature of the
transactions, the tendency is also to improvement.
Indian railway shares, as well as two or three of
the principal British lines, are in better demand
The scrip of the New Indian Loan has imprifed
to 103} to;.
The usual telegram from the Paris Bourse has not
yet come to hand.

Consols are officially marked 96 to 961 for money,
and 961 to 1 for the account. The present quotation
is 961 buyers," both for money and the Bth instant.
Bank Stock has been dealt in at 225 to 227 ; the
Three per Cents. Reduced at 941 to 96 ; the New
Three per Cents., at 941 to 95 ; the New Indian Loan
(stock), at 103 to 1031 ; the Four per Cent. De-
bentures of 1859, at 961 to 1 ; India Bonds, at 21.
dis. to 2s. prem. ; and Exchequer Bills, at 28s. to
325. prem.
The foreign stock market is quiet. Mexican Bonds
are more inquired for, and are last marked
221. There is a decided improvement in
Turkish Bonds, the Loan of 1854 being quoted
781 to 791, and that of 1858, 671 to 68. Other foreign
descriptions exhibit little alteration. Sales 'rerecorded
as follows :—Chilian Four-and-a-Ralf per Cents.,
89; Mexican Three per Cents., 221; ditto

ditto, for account, 671.
The steamer Avon has reached Lisbon from Brazil,
with 37,8291. in specie.
There was a marked ir.crease yesterday in the de-
mand for money, the more noteworthy from the cir-
cumstance of the Stock Exchange being shut. The
applications at the Bank of England were heavy, and
in the general market it was only by way
of favour that even the beat bills were dis-
counted at the Bank minimum. The immediate
supply of money has suddenly become very scanty.
The heavy payments which have lately been made
go far to explain this change. On Monday a sum of
440,0001. was paid on the Victoria Railway Loan
and another sum of 443,6001. was placed by the
Great Indian Peninsula Railway Company to the
credit of the Secretary of State in Council for India
at the Bank. Yesterday the instalment of 14 per cent.
on the Russian Loan occasioned a fresh absorption, the
effect of which was also felt to-day, members
of the Stock Exchange having received a day's grace,
in consideration of the holiday in that establishment
yesterday. Moreover, the bills maturing on the 4th,
and other early days in the present month, repre_
sent a heavy amount. The impression that
money. will yet become somewhat dearer this
year is retained by many persons, and is
encouraged by the continued remittances of gold
to the Continent, by the flatness of the Conti-
nental exchanges, and by the steady demand for
silver for the E' at.
There were no operations in gold at the Bank yester-
day. The greater portion of the 71,0001. by the City
of Manchester wu taken for the Continent. The
steamer Dolphin, from Antwerp, has brought about
40,0001. in silver.

On 'Change yesterday the rates for drafts on Hol-
land and for long bills on Paris were again quoted less
favourably for this country. The other a:changes
were dull. Tee rates are shown below :
Amsterdam, three:months, 11.161 to 16; dittOshort, 11.131
to 141 ;m Rotterdam, three months, 11.151 to 16; Antwerp,
three onths, 25.25 to 30 ; Ramberg, marks sanoo, three

The coupons of the Russian Three per Cent. Loan
an in demand, and sales have been made at Ito 14
per cent. prem. They are transmitted to Berlin,
where the exchange has been fixed at the advan-
tageous rate of 64 thalere per 11. sterling.
A telegram from S. Petersburg, of .Monday's
date, states that 8.5,600 casks of tallow had been
shipped off, and that business for the season was
apparently finished, although the weather continued
mild. The exchanges were lees firm, and very little
business was going forward in public securities.
Letters from St. Petersburg state that the claims
upon Messrs. Peter Alexeytif and Co., of Moscow,
who lately stopped payment, have been sold at 10s.
to 119. in the pound. The rate of discount has
risen to 8 per cent., and much commercial disturb.
ance prevails, especially amongst the manufacturing
interest. _ _ _

' Farther advices received at Lloyd's yesterday from
Moelfra, dated Monday, state that, according to
appearances, the bullion room of the Royal Charter
has been destroyed. The idea is entertained of lilting
, the after part of the vessel with " lumps," and then
all doubts will be solved. An agent of a London
Assurance Company, however, in a letter of the
same date, declares his belief that the treasiate is
perfectly safe, and that its recovery is only a ques-
tion of cost and time. He points to the fact of ingots
of copper having been found in the vessel as evi-
dence that the gold has not been washed away.
Some pieces of wood, supposed to be portions of the
bullion boxes, were exhibited at Lloyd'. yesterday.
An extraordinary general meeting of the Caledo-
nian Railway Company is called for the 15th inst. at
Glasgow, to ratify an agreemeut fur an r_inalgams-

With reference to the aid: market, the monthly
circular issued ycsterday by 3lessrs.ll.Waithrcan and
Co., reports as follows :
The elk market baa ei nlinued active during the past
month, but without any farther improvement in prices. In
Chinas the ',Trent arrivies of new silk have sold freely on
landing at full pricer, but the bulk of the operations have
been in old silk, which is relatively much lower in price then
the new. At the public sales, which took place on the 11th
and 20th ult., very little was done, but the trausectims by
private contract were more then usually namerots. The
deliveries for the month are 6.154 bake, and the stack is new
reduced to 15,675 balm, including all description. The
