The funds to-day are very quiet at yesterday's

The demand at the discount office at the Bank
yesterday was rather slack, but in the open market a
good amount of business was done, and the Bank
rate was asked in meet quarters for good bills.
As regards long engagements, much caution con-
tinues to be displayed, owing to the uncertainty
attaching to the harvest.
About 4,000/. in gold was taken from the Bank
yesterday for the Continent : the 40,000/. by the
Arabia was also bought for the same destination.
Letters from Point de Galls to the 10th of July
state that 209 boxes of specie, worth about 61,000/.,
had been recovered from the wreck of the Malabar

It is announced that Mr. E. M. Abbott,
of the Bow Brewery, has been obliged to suspend
payment The reason assigned is that large shipments
of beer which he had made to Calcutta, under a
contract with the Indian government, have been
refused on the ground of late arrival. The books
have been plaoed in the hands of Messrs. Quitter,
Ball, Jay, and Co. The liabilities are estimated at
about 100,0001. The estate is not expected to pay
in full

The bills of Mr. John Craft, provision merchant,
of Phi'pot-lane, and of Mr. John Craft, jun., of
Knightsbridge, have been returned. The parties
are father and son. The amount of the liabilities
is believed to be moderate.

At the general meeting of the City of London
Brewery Com y, held yesterday, much satisfaction
was exp at the announcement that the profits
of the company during the five monhts ending
the 30th June will allow of a dividend at the
rate of six per cent. per annum both
on the preference and ordinary shares. This divi-
dend was accordingly carried with acclamation.
Hopes were held out by the chairman (Sir James
Duke) of a much larger dividend at the next meet-
ing. It may be pointed out that the claim of the
' preference shares to dividend is not absolutely
limited to 6 per cent., as, after the payment of this
rate on the preference and ordinary issues, they
rank alike for any profits beyond. The very low
valuation at which this company entered into polo-
amnion of Messrs. Calvert and Co.'s brewery has
no doubt contributed materially to its success.
The dividend on the stock of the Dublin and
Belfast Junction Railway Company is officially
announced at the rate of 41 per cent per annum,
against 4 for the corresponding period of 1859.

SALmow reit Arsisama.—The attempt to intro-
duce salmon ova in u healthy Ado for the purpose of
stocking the riven of Tasmania and Australia bas failed,
the ship which conveyed the interesting freight having had
a long and unfavourable passage. The failure is traceable to
a deficiency of ice to maintain the water in the v marl= at
the low temperature neoessary. The history of 1.1 °voyage.
however, shows that the introduction baldng .orti iv an
easy task under a proper arrangement, on the et an
nation now gained. Great regret is felt here at the ant
tamale remit remit of so much patriotic labour and pstuniary sa-
crifice, and the hope iv stroogly and generally felt that the
attempt will be at olive renewed under the direct 11COUTrigl••
