MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)I COMMERCIAL AND MARKET&

thins o'OLocit. 1
The English funds opened firmly this morning,
but are now rather dull, upon some speculative
realisations, and the present prices are I per cent.
lower than on Saturday. British railways, foreign

stocks, and banking and financial shares are steady.
Italian bonds of 1861 show no change, notwith-

standing the virtual defeat of the Italian fleet by the
Austrian squadron. Lombardo-Venetian Railway
shares however, have given way. American securities
are again better. The amount of business generally
is not large, a disposition being shown both by
speculators and investors to await the result of the
negotiations for peace.

The demand for money to-day is very moderate,
while the supply has increased. Good three months
bills are discounted at 9 per cent., or 1 below the
Bank minimum.

Consols are now quoted 881 to f for money,
sad 881 to f for the account (August 9).
Foreign stocks are quiet, and the only changes
in the speculative descriptions are a rise of 1 per
cent. in Greek, and a decline of 1 in Turkish
of 1865. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are now
quoted 51 to 53, ex div. ; ditto of 1865, 281 to ;
Greek, 111 to 121 ; Spanish Passive, 191 to ; ditto
Certificates, 151 to 1 ; Italian, 1861, 55 to 1,
ex div. ; Brazilian scrip, 3to 2 dia. ; and Mexi-
can, 171 to I.
American securities continue in request, and at-
tained a fresh rise of Ito f per cent. 5-20 bonds
axe quoted 701 to 711 ; Erie Railway shares, 441
to 45 ; and Illinois Central, 791 to 80.
International Financial shares are now quoted
if to 11 die. ; London Financial, 11 to 10 dia. ;
General Credit, If to 11 dis. ; Credit Fonder,
31 to 31 dis., ex div. ; and National Discount, Bto

Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. have re-
ceived a letter from their agents at 'Vera Cruz, of
which the following is a translation. It commani-
cates the satisfactory intelligence of the resump-
tion of remittances upon a large scale for the divi-
dends on Mexican Bonds. It is a great pity that
the requisite action was not taken in this matter
before, as in that case the bondholders would
probably have escaped the default in the payment
of their dividends which has now actually occurred:
Vera Cruz, June 26,1866.
The Custom-house is going to deliver to us for account
of Mexican dividends, 600,000 dollars, of which 350,000
dollars are in bills on Mexico, and 250,000 dollars in
money here. Consequently, by order of Mr. F. Glennie, we
shall ship to your consignment by. the next English
packet, 230,000 dollars, which please insure.

Tea FENIAN HEAD CENTRE STEPHENS IN BOSTON.
—BoaroN, JULY 10, 1866 —Chief Organiser Stevens ar-
rived here this evening awl received an enthusiastic re-
ception at the depi.t, and was escorted to the Tremont-
house by • large crowd of Fenian. He was sub-
sequently
serenaded and appeared awl made a
speech upon the balcony of the house. lie said that
it had been stated that the Fenian spirit was
dying out, but in behalf of the Irishmen in the Isle of
Erin he denied any such accusation, for the Irish heart
cannot be shaken by any misunderstanding from the pur-
pose which has animated their whole lives. They would
fight and strive for it for ever, and not give up the cause of
Ireland until the power of Greet Britain is broken, and
broken on Irish soil. He said he would be more plain,
and in the name of God promise war between Ireland and
England on Irish soil within a year. In conclusion be
appealed to Americans for assistance and non-interference
in his plans.—Yea' York Herald.
COAL IN NEW ZEALAND.—CoaI has been found
to exist in immense quantity, widely distributed all over
the colony. As yet the absence of cheap means of transit,
the dearness of labour, and want of capital, have pre-
vented any extensive development of the coal fields of the ,
colony ; but it cannot be doubted that the
and the drawbacks
will decrease with the progress of settlement in-
crease of population, and the coal deposits of New Zea-
land will prove • source of national wealth.--Littleton
Timm.
QUZENSLAND.—The last year allows a total re-
venue, including land orders, of 631,4311. The expendi-
ture was 617,996/. The ways and means for 1867 are
estimated to amount to 800,000(., and the expends to
719,0001. A new loan of 1,226,4501. is proposed
plete the railways, for public works (including tie light-
