MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

011 o'Ormar..

The amount of business in the Stock Exchange
is still moderate, but the tendency of the markets,
on the whole, is rather favourable. The improve.
ment which took place on Saturday in Consols is
fully maintained, and additional firmness has been
imparted to the New Three per Cents. and Three
per Cents. Reduced by some considerable invest-
ments, stated to be on account of one of the joint
stock banks. The preparations for the monthly
settlement on Wednesday in the English funds
show that most of the recent purchases were
speculative, and the result is accordingly a large
" bull " account. Foreign stocks are inquired for,
but some of the British railways exhibit a slight
reaction.

The applications for discount are still upon a
very moderate scale, and good three months' hills
are taken at 21 per cent., or below the Bank
ini 44 i t num. In the Stock Exchange the supply of
money is exceedingly large, and advances for a
few days, on English government securit:es are ob-
tainable at per cent.
Consols are now quoted 94„ ex div.,
for money and next Wednesday's settlement, and
941 to 1, ex div., for the new account (August 8).

per Cents. are firm, at 93} to 94.
The Indian Five per Cent. stock continues in
demand, and has experienced a further rise of
per cent., viz., to 1101 to tut.
The dealings in foreign stocks are not nume-
rous, but Italian of 1861 and Mexican are in re-
quest, and have improved per cent. Turkish
Bonds of 1862 are quoted 56 to 57, ex div. ; ditto
Five per Cents. of 1865, 301 to 311, ex div.; Greek,
141 to 15 ; Spanish Passive, 23} to ; ditto Certifi-
cates, 151 to 1 ; Italian of 1861, 481 to 49, ex div. ;
and Mexican, 161 to 1.
In the market for financial shares, Credit
Fonder have risen 2s. 6d., the present price being
51 to 51 die. On the other hand, General Credit
have declined to the same extent, viz., 1I to 1/ dis.
International Financial are quoted 2 to 11 dia. ;
and London Financial, 22 to 21 dis.
American securities are quiet, but Erie Railway
shares have improved per cent., viz., to 331 to
34/. Illinois Central are quoted 79 to 1, and the
5-20 Bonds, 721 to 731.
Anglo-American Telegraph shares are 2s. 6d.

resolution will be proposed in favour of the under.

A general meeting of debenture and share-
holders in the Ottoman Railway Company will
be held on the 15th inst. It is mentioned
that " Doubts having been raised as to the appro-
priation of the guarantee of the Ottoman govern-
ment, a case has been prepared embodying the re-
spective views of the share and debenture holders.
This case has been submitted to the Attorney-
General and Mr. Charles Clark, and their opinion,
which may be seen at the company's office,
will be submitted to the meeting." It is
also stated that, " A suggestion has been
made to the council to make some provision
for the shareholders, if possible, out of the reserved
debentures during the period while the first deben-
tures and the floating debt are being paid off, or
until the company can raise sufficient funds on
its securities to discharge the same, and the
council hope to be able to secure the consent
of the debenture holders to such an arrangement."
A special meeting of the shareholders in the same
undertaking is called for the 16th of September, "to
consider and adopt the arrangement for the payment
of the debentures and general debts of the company,
lately submitted to, and approved by, the Attor-

4,353,9471., making together only 10,774,7871.,
against 17,285,4511. imported in the corresponding
period of last year. The chief falling off has been
in the arrivals from the United States. On the
other hand, the exports of bullion from London
are put at only 6,155,6741. for the first half of the
present year, against 11,060,3151. in the same half

THE FATAL AOC/DI/NTT° COLON/LL Holies PI:MTN&
will be recollected that a serious accident took place
in Hammersmith on the night of Wednesday, May 8,
when a collision occurred between a brougham that was
proceeding towards London sad the carriage of her Royal
Highness fist Dnehem of Cambridge. Her royal highness,
attended by Colonel Home Purees, bad been dining in
London with the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, and
in returning the collision occurred, moulting in the carnage
of her real highness being overturned. The gallant
colonel's legs were very severely cut by the broken glass 3f
tlw carriage window, through which they were toned by
the collision, and though iron, the first the injuri s were
of a most serious character it was expected that no fatal
consequences were likely to arise. but after some weeks of
anxious suspense worse symptoms manifested themselves,
terminating in death on Tuesday evening last. An inquest
was held on Friday morning at the Coach and Horses,
Kew-green, and the evidence clearly acquitting all parties
of blame, a verdict of " Accidental death" was returned.

TDB FATAL RAILWAY COLLISION NEAR WAR-
Itiscros.—On Saturday Mr. C. E. DrillieW held an in-
quest et the Coopers' Arm; Warrington, on the body of
Mr. W. Jones, of Bath, who died the previous morning
from the effect, of injuries received at the late fearful
railway collision near Warrington. The deceased, previous
to his death, suffered fearfully. The only evidence taken
was that of the identification of the body, after which the
coroner issued his warrant for the interment of the deceased,
and adjourned the inquest until to-morrew (Tuesday). In
referemie to the other sufferers by this fearful catastrophe,
we may state that on making inquiries at the hospital we
were informed that all the injured people were going on
well, and mine of them rapidly recovering. The only two
patients abodt whom fears are entertained as to their ulti-
mate recovery, are Miss Powell, of Roby, near Liverpool,
who lies at the Patten Arms, and Mrs. Swomborne, who
flee at the Norton Arms. Nine of the Irish labourers who
were in the ward set apart for convalescents were dischamd
on Saturday morning on the doctor's certificate. A ter
leaving the hospital they proceeded to the office of Mr.
Moore (Shepherd and Aloore), who had been empowered to
pay them their compensetion claim,. Several of them
who had their clothes damaged by the collision were fur-
nished with a fresh rig out, and received sums varying
from 5/. to IW. for their immediate wants, together with
free panes to their homes iu Ireland, or to where they
wanted to go in England. Rowson, the pointeman who

there can be little doubt that it will be the most interest-

excess of any former period.
The enclosed part of the common has this yearbeen
extended in consequence of the growing popularity of the
association. and a great number of tumor improvements
hasebeen made which time and experience have suggested.
On approaching the co 11111 l on, particularly in the three-
tion of Putney, the scene of future operations present■ a
very gay and animated appearance, there being the usual
mfusiou of slags of all nations and of all colours and hues.
Prominent and floating above the tents of the council and
staff of the association is seen their distinguishing Hag
heating the figures of two volunteers, marking the change
which ha, been effected in the different epochs, one
showing the dress at.d arms of the vo'unteera of the period
between the years 1300 and 15110, and the other that of
Is6o, whets the volunteer movement WAS revived, and
since which it has taken sleep root in this country.
Long lines of tents, all of uniform size, and almost of
snowy whiteness, stretch between east and west for the ac-
rommodation of those volunteers who for some time to cone
sleep under canvas, the old and historic wind.nill forming
an agreeable break in the background. There are upwards
of 70 targets, so that shooting at all ranges can goon simul-
taneously, and thus facilitate the business of the meeting.
The camp is again under the command of Lieutenant-
Colonel the Hou. William Colville, with Captain Kenton

The % icturias were, as usual, early on the ground, some
few of them actually taking possession of their tents as
tong bark as Saturday week. Their camp occupies the
same site as heretofore, hut is considerably extended, and
forms a complete circle on the crest of a hill. This year
there is a new feature connected with the Victoria,:
camp. From the high character this corps has hitherto
niaintainesl, an application was made by the members
representing the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge at
this meeting, to be alloyed to join the Victorian in tl'eir
amp, uid it is almost needless to say that this was
readily granted. This amp now consists of 34 lodging
tents, besides mess and officers' tents, and there will be
permanently SO of the Victoria, on the ground. The
officers here are Lieutenant Tomkins, in charge ; Quarte--
tr aster-Sergeant Bedford, Ensign Pixley, and the follow-

Pixley, who last won his qualification to shoot in the in-
ternational contest for the Elcho shield at Gloucester,
being the third highest in t)e list of competitors. At a
quarter past four o'clock on Saturday atternool the body
of the Victoria. arrived on the ground, hexing marched
,town, bringing with them three waggon loads of
baggage. They soon set to work with aU the tact of vete-
rans, and before dusk had set in every man was in com-
fortable quarters.
The London Scottish occupy that portion of the ground
which they have dignified by the name of Maalonald
Heights, but the space is rather more restricted than
that of last year. The Scottish camp consists, of 40 tents,
exclusive of officers' and mess tents, and the number of
men who will be under canvas will be about 90. The
