MONEY MARKEI-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLoca

The funds opened this morning at the closing
quotations of yesterday, but have sines declined
1 per cent. The government broker continues
to make small investments daily in the Reduced
Three per Cents., but business is very limited.
French shares have again advanced, in response to
the prices received from Paris. The attention of the
dealers in the share markets is principally occupied
with the settlement.

Consols for the Bth July opened at 96 to / ex div.,
and are now quoted 961 to 96. The Three per
Cent. Reduced have been dealt in at 96 to 1 I the New
Three per Cents. at 96 to 1; Indian Loan
Debentures at 991 ; Bank Stock, at 2191 to 221;
the March Exchequer Bills, at 325. to 365. prem.;
and Exchequer Bonds, 1869, at 1001 to 101.
Turkish Six per Cents, are rather dulL In other
foreign stocks there is no movement of importance,
the current business being chiefly in connexion
with the settlement. The scrip of the New
Brazilian Loan is quoted par. Sales are
recorded as follows: Brazilian Old Five
per Cents., 1011 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.,
66 (exchange, 128.) ; New Granada Two-and-a-
Quarter per Cent. Active Bonds, 211; Peruvian
Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 861 ; ditto, Four-
and-a-Half per Cent. Dollar Bonds, 661

Cents., 461; Turkish Six per Cents., 964; ditto
for account (Jane 30), 951; ditto Guaranteed Four
per Cents. 1011 ; Venezuela Deferred Two per
Cents., 141.
At Paris to-day (Tuesday), according to Mr.
Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent Rents
opened at 68fr. 46e. as div. for the account, exhibit-
ing a fresh rise of nearly 1 per cent. compared
with the latest price of yesterday. The Bourse is
described as " very firm."
The Norfolk, from Melbourne for London, with
330,3001. in gold, was spoken with at meson the 11th
inst. by the steamer Atrato, from the West Indies,
and may perhaps arrive off the coast in the course of
a few days.
The Wye arrived at Marseilles from Malta yester-
day, with the light portion of the Australian mails,
which are expected to be delivered in London to-
morrow.

It is understood that a number of capitalists
are endeavouring to make arrangements for re-
lieving the market of the mess of railway
bonds at present pressing upon. it. It also
enters into their project to obtain certain con-
minions from the government on behalf of some
of the leading companies. The object of all parties
is, of course, to remove the weight from the market by
assisting the railway companies to the pecuniary
means requisite for the construction of the branches
and extensions undertaken by them. Meanwhile,
even whilst the proposed arrangements are incom-
plete, the capitalists in q.uestion have influenoe
enough to produce a considerable advance in the
prices of French nOway shares, the more especially
as, by operating suddenly, they have taken by sur-
prise a number of persons who had effected specu-
lative sales.

The demand for money yesterday wu moderate at
the Bank and in all other quarters ; but in the open
market the minimum rate of discount is 2 per cent.
for first-claw bills. In the Stock Exchange money
wu rather more wanted, owing to the settlement ;
but short loans on government securities were ob-
tainable at 2 per oent. per annum.
In some of the French advice' an anticipation is
expressed that the Bank of France will soon reduce
their rate of discount from 31 to 3 per cent.
The wheat market yesterday was dull, at a reduc-
tion of Is. to 2s. per quarter from the previous
Monday's rates.
The Eliza and Heater has arrived from China with
431,8001b5. of tea, and 41 bales of silk.

the half-yearly meeting of the Colonial Bank Pro-
prietors for the 7th of July.
The annual meeting of the African Steam-ship
Company is called for the 29th inst.
An official manager of the Era Assurance Society
is to be appointed by Vice-Chancellor Wood on the

We are informed that, notwithstanding the in-
difference displayed by. the public towards new in-
vestments, the subscription to the project for the
establishment of a Manchester Conveyance Company
has made considerable program, two-thirds of the
capital having already been subscribed for.
The decrease shown in the weekly freak return of
the Great Western Railway of Canada is 1,9841.
The Brighton Railway traffic return presents a
decrease of 4291.
Yesterday was "making-up day" in the share mar.
ket. Owing to the readiness of holders of money to
affect loans en reasonable terms upon English rail-
way stocks, the rates of " eontinuation" were light ;
nevertheless, the preparations for the settlement
indicate that there have been some realisations by
the public during the last fortnight. London and
North Western stock seems to have been chiefly
supplied, whilst the Boating supply of Eastern
Counties and South Eastern has dinsished. Sub-
joined is our usual statement of the terms generally
current:

MONDAY MYIUDNO.

The accounts from America not being of a charms.
ter to excite fresh uneasiness, and the advice: from
the Paris Bourse being more favourable, the funds
-opened this ineeniag with a firm appearance. It ie
found, however, that the public do not come forward
to relieve the operators for the rise of the stock
speculatively held. The New Three per Cents. and
Reduced Three per Cents., the transfer books of
which are open, furnish, apparently, the beet crite-
rion of the tendency of bond fide operations, sad in
these stocks sales are stated to predominate. Con-
sequently, although news was received in
the afternoon of a further improvement at
Paris, the advance in Console to-day wss
trifling, amounting to only about 1-16 per cent.
The general tendency of the Stock Exchange mer-
Vets, nevertheless, was more satisfactory. English
railway stocks only partially maintained an Improve-
ment which was quoted in the morning, bat French
railway shares were in considerable demand, and
experienoed a decided advance.

at 96 ex div., opened and closed today at 96 to 1.

NEW YORK, toss 1.
The excitemeet about the British outrage, is the
West Indies rontiniwe unabated—if there is say
change at u:l. is i. on the iocii.eise. On Saturday,
the braggarts of the Senate had a regular field-day,
and find broadlides of Buncombe which made the
welkin e'er. Amongst a certain class of politicians,
bath of the pm is and of the Legislature, there seems
to be • race going on fur precedency in patriotic
fervour. Them Herold of this city, of course, leads
the van in bombastic denunciations of British aggres-
sion, and Geo or three times a week has • leadiog
article rlowing the enormous advantages which the
(Lilted States would reap from • war with England,
the myna:ow impulse which it would give to home
industry and the facilities it would afford for
extchdomg 'lme area of the Union. It) time time peace
would be made, the Federal organ declares,
we should fluid ourselves in possession not
only of thriving manufactures sufficient to supply
all our own wants, but of Canada and the whole of
Central America. The Times is the only other jour-
nal of large circulation or much influence in this
city, which is doing everything to force the wiz
time. le deprecates hostilities as a terrible calamity
for the whole human race, but insists upon strenuous
and immediate resistance to the visitation of oar
vessels. The 7Viineu and EresiSig Poet both take
the British side of the question. The small fry,
of course, all clamour for war, and rarely take the
trouble to give any reason why. Amongst the pub-
lic there is really, however, eery little difference of
opinion on the merits of the controversy. Most
people would consider • conflict with England an
unmitigated misfortune, but they will not submit to
have their vessels overhauled by your cruisers
in the present indiscriminate way. At the
North I beliere there is • very general
feeling in favour of fresh stipulation*, and
fresh exertions on our part for the suppression of
the slave trade, but until these are made you must
keep your hands off. At the South, lam persuded,
any vigorous action for the suppression of the traffic
would meet with determined opposition, and the
Administration will certainly not do anything
against the wishes of the alsveholders. \mations
plans have been proposed to reconcile our suscepti-
bility to the operations of your cruisers. One is send-
ing a British lieutenant on board every American
man of war, and an American on board every
English man of war, and thus causing all visits to
the vessels of either nationality to be made by an
officer of their own navy. The objection to this
scheme, which at first sight seems very feasible, is
the difficulty which would arise, first in getting
stir lieutenants to undertake the dutueel
serving in a disagreeable position on
a foreign vessel, and nader the orders of
• foreign officer; and next, in preventing the
remissness or even connivance of which any man is
likely to be guilty in doing a disagreeable and in
some respects humiliating duty, under the directions
of one who is not either his own countryman or hie
own superior. The sympathies of an American
lieutenant would irresistibly run in favour of an
American clipper chewed by an English cruiser, as in
this country the officers either of the army or navy
are by no means so much a class apart as in the old
world. Another plan is the mutual concession of the
right of •isit. But as American vessels and British
cruisers are vastly more numerous in the Gulf of
Merin than American cruisers and British vessels,
the right would be pretty sure to be exercised
altogether on one side—not to speak of our
greater partiality for the slave trade. Besides,
it was a proposition of this very kind which caused
G•neral ('ass, when American minister at Paris, to
refuse adhesion to the Quintuple Treaty, and de-
noonce it in his famous pamphlet. The controversy
here and at Washington is now expending itself alto-
gether upon the question whether there be any dis-
tinction between the right of visit and the right of
search or not. The British Government has always
maintained that there is, and the Americans as
stoutly that there is not, that the one leads natu-
rally to the other, and to be really effectual must
include it. Muses of diplomatic correspondence have
been brought to light on the American side of the
question, quite enough if not to prove our case, at
beast to prove our consistency in maintaining it. The
right of search you have never claimed in
tiro* of peace, and have always acknowledged '
to be • belligerent right; and if oar position, that the '
search and visit are the same thing, be tenable, you
hive no gmound to go upon. It is very amusing to
lid Lord Stowell now quoted in Congress and in
the newspapers very glibly as a great master of in-
ternational law, in order to get the benefit of his
famous decision upon the points now at issue in the
ease of Le Louis, whilst he has hitherto been held
up to execration fur his applicatioo of maritime law
to the rights of neutral vessels during the last French I
war.

In the Senate on Saturday )leers. Seward,
Toombv, and Douglas, all of whom have expecta-
tions more or leas remote of being the next Presi-
dent. behaved in a way which reflects little credit
either of them or the august body to which they
belong. They are all three men of mark, opposition.
of mature age, and ripe experience. Seward
in particular has always been remarkable for his
cold and impassible temperament, his rigid worship
of intellect, and somewhat ill-disguised contempt
both for party obligations and popular applau.e.
Yet the three raved against England, and shrieked
fur war with as absurdity of which nobody bat
schoolboys should be guilty. They talked with the
greatest coolness of capturing the British fleet,
bringing them into port, hanging the officers of the
Styx and Bossard, though they know perfectly well
that when toe whole American naval force is eon-
oentr►ted in the Gulf, it will not number half as
many guns as the British, and though they know
that American merchant vessels swarm within reach
of British cruisers. Putting out of sight altogether
the shameful indifference the whole trio displayed for
the moral results of the advice they were giving, the
spectacle was sad enoagb. They were vigorously
supported by Mr. Hale, a northern senator of the
gravest and most respectable antecedente, a 'rigorous
opponent of slavery, in the same strain of silly brag-
gadocio. The whole thing is a singular and striking
illuitnition of the inability of the strongest natures
to bear up against the crushing influence of a pow-
erful democracy.

There is a report from Washington to day that
Lad Napier has emit a special messenger to the
British admiral, advising him strongly to desist from
visiting American vessels pending fresh instructions
from England. This has been rendered necessary
by the orders given to the American officers sent
down to the Gulf, which are said to have been of a
moat belligerent character, and to virtually
place the power of declaring war in the
bands of captains of gunboats. We are now
in daily expectation of bearing of a collision
in the Gulf between the cruisers of the two nations,
and anything of this kind in the present state of
public sentiment might render subsequent recon-
ciliation exceedingly difficult, it not impossible. The
whole affair has had a most unfortunate influence
upon the relations of the two countries. I believe
there never was a kindlier state of feeling towards
England than has existed here during the past year,
and it showed itself with peculiar warmth during
the Indian mutiny. The present difficulties have in
one short month revived many old animosities and
opened many old wound'', which, let it end how it
may, will take many months to
The weather during the whore month of May has
been almost unprecedented!, cold and wet, and crops
of every kind unusually backward. Business still
languishes, and commercial convalescence is slow;
but this does not PIM to have mach 'ff, et upon the
public gaieties or amusements. The theatres and
opera are crowded. The flight of pleasure or health
see km to Europe is greater than ever. To supply
the pleas of the Collins steamers, Vanderbilt has com-
menced running weekly steamers to Southampton
and Havre, et his own risk and at the highest rates
of speed. Whether it prove successful or not, the
enterprise is at least audacious. Captain Judkins,
ef the Persia, has got into a controversy with the
CllllOllll-100811 officers, which brings him before the
everts. He obeyed the orders of the quarantine
in remote, to allow a revenue officer to land who
had boarded his vessel in the harbour. He was soon
