Two o'CLoce.

There is no revival of business in the Stock Ex-
change. The funds are quiet, but firm, at
yesterday's quotations. In the share market
prices are likewise nominally unaltered. Not-
withstanding the lack of business, the markets
generally are firm in character. Pullinger's vast
frauds continue to form almost the only topic of
conversation.

• The shares of the Union Bank of Loudon are
flat. Transactions are officially recorded in the
Stock Exchange at 261, 261, 26, and 25.
The usual telegratne from the Paris Bourse have
not yet come forward.

- .
Console are officially marked 941, a, and 4 for
money, and 944 for the account. The present quota-
tions are 941 to for money, and 94i, " seller,"
for the 9th of May. Bank Stock has been dealt
in at 225, 226 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, at 931,
; New Three per Cents., at 93/, 93, /,
; Indian Five per Cent. stock, 1869, at
106/, 106 ; Fire per Cent. " enfaced" rupee paper,
at 98i, 98 ; India Bonds, at Se. (lin ; Exchequer
Bills, at 95., 10s., 65., and 10s. prem. ; ditto small,
at fie. prem.

Foreign stocks are steady. There are some inquiries
for Spanish. The Turkish Loan of 1854 is quoted
761 to 77, ex div., and that of 1858, 611 to 1. The
scrip of the New Brazilian Loan is slightly flatter,
being marked f and 1 dia. Sales are recorded as
follows :—Brazilian Four-and-a-Half per Cents.,
1860 (scrip), f, # dis ; Buenos Ayres
Six per Cents., for account, 841 ; Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 88 (each., IA.); ditto
Four per Cent. Certifs., 1001, f, ex div. ; RIMY&
Three per Cents., 1859, 661 ; Sardinian Five per
Ceuta., 841 ; Spanish Three per Cents., 471 ; ditto
for account, 471; do. New Deferred Throe per Cents.,
for account, 361 ; the Committee's Certificates, 41,
; Turkish Six per Cents., 1868, for account, 611, 1 ;
ditto Guaranteed Four per Cents., 1011 ; Venezuela
Three per Cents., 261.
The discount market continues well supplied
with money, and the best short bills are readily
taken at 43 per cent. Long paper, however, still
meets with little favour. The amount of business
at the Bank continues moderate.

The 90,0001, by the Illinois and Arabia con-
sisted of Mexican dollars. The 157,0001. by
the Copenhagen will nut come to hand until a few
days hence. There is little or uo inquiry for gold
for the Continent.

---o;;Chanitiyesterilay afternoon bills on the Con-
tinent were again in demand. The inquiry at the
close extended to paper on Vienna. In two or three
instances the rates were a trifle lees favourable far
this country. The St. Petersburg exchange, how-
ever, was quoted rather worse for Russia. The
prices are shown below :
.Amsterdam, 3 months, 11.163 to f 1 ; ditto, short, 11.14*
to p; Rotterdam, 3 months, 11.164 to 17 ; Antwerp, 3

Telegrams in anticipation of the China mail state
the total shipments of tea at 69,000,000 th., and
quote full prices. The stocks were very light, and
the supplies exhausted. The exchange on London
was unaltered.

biomes.— Von Dadelinen and North, metal bro-
kers, having applied to the Chancellor of the Ea-
chequer for information respecting the liability of
brokers' contracts to the stamp duty imposed by the
new act, have received an official reply to the effect
that, " the stamp is not applicable to contracts foe
merchandise."

-----
An adjourned meeting of members of the Stook
Exchange favourable to a revision of the charges
for commission was held yesterday, to receive the
report of the committee which WWI lately appointoiL

consideration of the queation.
At a meeting of Westminster Improvement

body of bondholder, to meet the parliamentary and other
expenses of the committee, such subscriptions to be repaid
out of any moneys which may come to the hands of the
committee applicable to such purposes ; and that the bond-
holders who ai e not prevent be strongly urged to strengths'
the bands of the committee by meeting this call in the
most liberal and punctual manner.

tors of the National Bank is called for the 22nd

MEWS THOM THE SEAL FIBBINO.—ARRI
THE CAMPIRDOWII.—This handsome vessel ,rives'
dee Harbour on Sunday, from the seal fishingat (lremiland,
completing her first voyage. So far as the vessel's sailing
qualities are concerned, she has proved herself first-class,
and amply fulfilled her builder's and owners' expecte.
Sons, having, both when outward and homeward
bolted, accomplished her voyage in • remarkably
abort time, the latter occupying only four days. But
as regards the success she has met with in obtaining
• cargo of fish, we regret to say the voyage du proved
itself an almost complete failure, her "catch " consisting
only of eighteen seals, and the intelligence she brings from
that quarter leaves all the other veasels icif which there
were aboutd 30 on the field) in a like unfavourable predica-
ment, none having succeeded in obtaining • larger " catch.
Captain Bruce, of the Camperdown, states that, for four
weeks, during which time he unsucCeedully struggled for a
purge, north-easterly winds continued incessantly to beat
wt. Mst them, to which cause, together with the keen frosts
et the time, he attributes bin want of success, though he
bee little doubt that the north-west gale el:jai accompanied
him home will tend to open up the rivers and drive out tie
flab, which may enable the remaining vessels even yet to
effect profitable voyages ; but up to the hour of his leaving
the station, on the 17th instant, there was neither
sign nor symptom of an approach of fish or of
the opening of the ice, end rather than saciitice
the summer's voy.ige to the whale fishing at Davis'
Straits, by remaining longer at Greenland under that expec-
tation, he turned his vessel homewards. The vessel is pre-
sently undergoing her equipment at the harbour, and
receiving her complement of coal and stores with
the utmost expedition, u it is intended to de-
spatch her for the whale fishing on Thursday
next if possible, where, it is to be hoped, she will meet '
with better success. The Camperdown spoke with the '
Dundee, of this port, on the 14th iast., when that vessel
was clean and fast in the ice. The following vowels were
also spoken with :—lady Franklin, of Aberdeen ; Active,
Helena, and North of Scotland, of Peterhead; Vulcan,
Yolinka, and Enterprise, of Fraserhurgh ; and the Chase, of
Hull—all of whom are reported clean. While the Camper.
down was moving about, a Norwegian brig was totally
destroyed among the ice, the crew of which were taken on
board of the Dundee. -Dander Advertiser.

The Indian rupee paper was a little flatter. The
Five per Cent. was last quoted 984 to I, and the
Five-and-a-Half per Cent., 103# to I. The Indian
Five per Cent. stuck of 1869 was quoted 106 to i.
Exchequer Bills remain flat, at its. to 10s. prem.
The foreign stock market was likewise quiet.
The Turkish Loan of 1868 declined 4 per cent.,
leaving off at 61 to 4, whilst that of 1854 was steady,
at 764 to i, ex div. Brazilian scrip was quoted 4
die. to 4 prem. Other foreign stocks were ivactive.
The shares of the Union Bank of London were
marked 27, 28, and 274 ; the closing quotation
was about 25 to 23. The price before the frauds
became known was about 30 ; and as 41. per share
on 60,000 shares gives 240,0001., it would seem
that the present price should be about 26.

GALLANT LIFEBOAT SERVICES. TEIONIIOI7TH,
Tonsosr.—About half-past 1 o'clock this morning, when
the wind was blowing fresh from E.N.E., it being at the
time very dark, load cries for help were heard seaward
by one of the coast-guard men. Immediately an alanu
was given to muster the crew of the lifeboat of the Na-
tional Lifeboat Institution ; and, with a promptitude most
CI adltahle to the gallant crew, they were quickly at their
post: Everything being ready, as usual, for instanteneou
Nemec in the lifeboat-house, the lifeboat was at once launched,
and proceeded in the direction whence the cries of distress
came. A pistol was fired from the lifeboat which was re-
sponded to by cries from those in distress. The
lifeboat's anchor was dropped, and she was veered down
to the scene of danger. Here they found, the smack
Wooster, of this port, sunk, with the sea breaking violently
over her—her crew, John and Samuel Basset, in the • • ,
They were found much exhausted, and were f wit
taken on board the lifeboat, and safely brought by her
to land. This is the second crew of wrecked vessels
this valuable lifeboat has been instrumental in rescuing
hens a watery grave during the present year. It was only
Me week before last that the crew of nine men, of the brag
Nancy, of Teignmouth, were also rescued from an inevit-
able death by the Lytham lifeboat, belonging to the
National Lifeboat Institutillia
TR IC IFLOHT FOR THE CH AIMONSHIP. —The London
correspondent of the New Praseiam Gazette writes as
follows : For some days past the whole of &glad, so to
say, has nosupied itself with a boxing match, and although
' dukes of royal blood' may no longer shake hands with the
boxer, and illustrious lords may no longer boast of their in-
tiniate acquaintanceship with pugilists, such as notoriously
was the cue in the last century, nevertheless the interest
all take in the matter shows how ' national' this methodi-
cal thrashing, this bloody thumping according to definite
