MONEY MARKET.-THIS DAN.

Two °Twat.

Stagnation continues to prevail in the Stock Ex-
change, balances being very limited. This,
combined with a statement that a special
Cabinet Council has been convened foe
this afternoon, has caused a decline of l per cent. in
Consols. The Government broker has made a further
investment to the extent of 15,0001. in the New
Three per Cents.

The New Indian Loan is quoted 981 to 1, and the
Russian, 1 die. to par.
The Three per Cent. Rent., opened at Paris
to-day, according to Mr. Renter's telegram. at
Mr. 10e. for the account, being the same as at the
dose on Saturday afternoon.

Consols are officially marked 951 to 1 for money,
and 95} to a for the 7th of September. The present
quotation is 961 to 1, both for money and the account.
Bank Stock has been dealt in at 223; the Three
per Conte. Reduced, at 98 to 981; the New Three
per Cents., at 96 to 961; India stook
at 216 ; the Indian Four per Cent. Debentures,
1859, at 941; India Bonds, at Ba. dia.; and Ex-
chequer Bills, at 21s. to 245. prem.
Little change is observable in foreign stocks, as
will be gathered by the annexed prices:—Mexican
Three per Cents., 201, 201 ; Peruvian Three
per Cents., 711, 71; Portuguese Three per Cents.,
1863, 461, 461 ; Russian Five per Cents.,
111 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 99 ; Sar-
diuian Five per Ceuta., 861 to 86k ; Spanish Passive
Bonds, 10; Turkish Six per Cents., 1864, 83, 831;
ditto Six per Cents., 1868, 731, 731, 74.

The demand for money oontinues languid. The
best bills were negotiated on Saturday in Lombard-
street at 21 per cent. At the Bank very little
business was done.

The advice. from Calcutta describe some improve-
ment in the tone of the market for government secu-
rities, partly in consequence of the easier position of
the money market. We notice, however, that the
government had been obliged to apply to the Bank of
Bengal for a loan of 100,0001., on the second series
of Treasury Bills.
Two ships have been taken up at Calcutta to con-
vey to England 1,000 troops, who have demanded
and obtained their discharge.
The Persia has arrived from New York with
76,0001. in specie.
The other imports of the precioul metals announced
lest week were email. Onr list includes only
1 60,0001. by the Europa, from Boston ; 100,0001. (be-
sides a large sum destined for the Continent) by the
Ocean Queen, from New York ; 6,0001. by the Ed-
ward Hawkins, from St. Petersburg ; 3,6001. by the
Behar, from Alexandria; and 4,3241. by the Sultan,
from the Peninsula.

The value of these imports, including those an-
nounced on Saturday, is about 240,0001.
According to advioss received via New York, the
interoolonial mail steamer had reached Havana from
the Gulf of Mexico with 2,000,000 dole. or about
400,0001. sterling in specie. The next Mexican
stammer may therefore bring to Southampton an
aggregate of upwards of 500,0001. The statement
is also reiterated that a large amount of silver for
England would soon arrive at Panama front
Mazatlan by her Majesty's steamer Calypso.
According to the advice, received from Mexico per
the Golan Queen, Mr. Whitehead, the agent of the
Mexican bondholders, had actually left the city of
Mexico on his return to London. As a set-off
against the expulsion of their agent, the creditors
will look forward with satisfaction to the receipt of
the large sum which has for some time past been
accumulating in Mr. Whitehead's hands, for the
dividend fund, and which he is expected to
bring with him. In her Majesty's speech at the
opening of the last session of parliament. it was inti-
mated that instructions had been sent out to enforce
satisfaction for the injuries inflicted by Mexico on
British subjects. It remains to be seen what steps
the British Government will take now that the go-
vernment in occupation of the Mexican metropolis
have carried their acts of illegality to a climax by
the arbitrary expulsion of English residents. The
question is asked also, what steps have been adopted
towards carrying out the settlement of outstanding
British claims which was entered into some months
back by orders from Lord Malmesbury ?
The dividend of Ba. per share on the old Lom-
bardo-Venetian shares is advertised aa payable on
the Ist October.

The syndicate of the l'aris Bourse ham decided that
the settlement on the 31st inst. in Lombardo-Venetian
Railway.haree may be effected with 81. per share
paid.

Slaughter's Weekly List) of the railway Galls falling
due in the month of September, so tar as they have
yet been advertised. Apart from the call on Loot.

Telegraphic communication between this country
and Malta has been re-established. Some time ago
operations were commenced for the repair of the
fractured telegraphic cable between Malta and Cag-
liari, bat were stopped by severe weather. The end
of a portion of this cable, distant 160 miles from
Malta, has now been landed at Marsala, on the coast
of Sicily, and there joined to the system communi-
cating with London. The effect of this will be to
allow a summary of news from India, Australia, and
China to be received here three days earlier than of
late. There is reason for believing that the state-
ment that the cable between Malta and Cork is out
of repair is incorrect; perhaps only the land wires
between the coast of Cork and the telegraph office,
ten miles inland, are damaged. As regard. the
damaged piece of cable lying between Cagliari and
Mantimo, in Sicily, it may eventually be carried to
Marsala, thus forming another link in the system to
Malta. Another line has to be laid from Malta to
Alga Grande, in Sicily, for the Mediterranean Ex-
tension Telegraph Company, by the 20th of Septem-
ber, so that the requirements of the mercantile com-
munity trading with that quarter will, it is hoped,
be amply provided for.
The special meeting of the London and North
Western Railway Company, Sued for the 10th Sep-
tember, will be required to decide upon the proposed
levee to this company of the Lancaster and Carlisle,
Lancaster and Preston Junction, and Kendal and
Windermere R►ilways.
A call of 21. is to be paid on the shares in the New
Brunswick and Canada Railway and Land Company
by the 20th September.
