A ClltLn I.OKT AND FOUND.—ltllirely hes so
much sympathy and excitement been exhibited in the quiet
village of Chartham as dating the past week, occasioned by
the loss of a little child, hut two years and two months
old, for upwards of two days and two nights, the whole of
which penod the poor thing wee without food, end expoeed
to the influence of one variable climate. Its patents are
labouring people, of the name of Weenie, and are con•
netted with Nickholt farm in this parish, occupying a
small cottage there. On Sunday lean they went to Whit-
...dile, early in the morning, taking with them their
eldest and youngest child, and leaving their second,
Entity, in the care of a relative named Wm. Marlow,
lodging with them. About 'seven o'clock the young man
mimed the child, and went in search of her in the adjoin-
ing wood, but could not glean any tidings of her. In
the evening, when the parents returned, they were almost
distracted. They searched through the night, but were
iinsuetwasful, and next morning the men employed by Mr.
Lake, Mr. Harvey, and Mr. Cott were set to work to scour
all the woods and corn-fields in the locality, and it is ani-
mated that upwards of 100 persona were thus engaged the
whole of Monday, up to midnight, but without avail. About
helt•past nine o'clock on Tuesday morning, however, four
men at work in Redman's-hill wood, about smile-and-a-half
or two miles from Nickholt Form, thought they hoard the
Not cry of a child, and immediately proceeded to the spot,
where they found the "lust child" sitting up in the w-Wgs.
The little thing mailed, and held oat its snag to be taken up.
The poor child had been sadly teased with the flies, round its
month and nostrila, and its arms and legs were much
wretched with the briars through which It had manned to
scramble. Every necessary attention was promptly ren-
dered, and we are glad to say that it is getting on satisfac-
torily. The young man who was left in chirp of the child
hod, it appears, given different statements as to the time and
place where he flat missed it. It is now believed that he
woo in the wood shooting, and, that he had taken the child
with him. but that. while he was in search of " open," the
little creature strayed away". Fear of being charged with
poaching, it is presumed, led him to misstate the real facts.

MONEY MAREBT.-TlllB DAY.

Two o'CLoog.

The stock markets to-day exhibit great agitation.
Rumours are freely circulated that the Indian news
has arrived, and that Delhi hna not yet been cap-
tured. Added to this, there have been large sales
by parties who usually possess good French
information, and the rumour has been spread that a
new attempt has been made upon the life of the
Emperor of the French. The result is a fall of
about per cent. in the funds; but all these rumours
must be received with caution.

Consols opened at 911 to 1 for the Gth August,
fell gradually to 901, and are now quoted 91,
"sellers." For money the present price is
901, "sellers." The Three per Cents. Re-
du:ed are marked 911 to ; the New Three per
Cents., 911 to 1; Bank Stock, 216 to 2161; Ex-
chequer Bills, N. to is dis.; Exchequer Bonds,
981; and India Bonds, 265. to 20a. dis.
Turkish Six per Cents. are still heavy, and
are marked 941, 94Z, and 94. Other foreign
stocks are dull. The sales arc limited to Brazilian
Old Five per Cents., at 1011; Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents, at 64, cx div. (exchange 121);
ditto, Four per Cents. at 98; Peruvian Four and
a-Half per Cents. at 811; Russian Five per Cents.
at 1111; and Turkish Guaranteed Four per Cents.
at 1021 and 21.
The demand for money in the discount market con-
tinues steady, at from 51 to 61 per cent. for first-
class paper. Thedemand is still partly in connexion
with the arrangements for remitting an unusually
heavy amount of silver to the RA-A on the 4th
August. Coin is also wanted in the provinces for
harvest purpose*. Meanwhile a little check is in-
volved in the continued withdrawals of gold from the
Bank, and in the slackening of the flow of specie
from the United States.

In the Stock Exchange yesterday loans upon go-
ernment securities were obtainable at 3 per cent. The
settlement in shares and foreign stocks this week
will induce some demand.

To-morrow will be " making-up dsy" in the
share markets. The fortnightly settlement will be
completed on Friday.
At Hamburg the rate of discount has declined
from 6t to about 61 per cent.
The acceptances of Messrs. J. P. Giustiniani and
Co., a Greek firm, chiefly engaged in the Mediterra-
nean trade, have been dishonour d; but in some
quarters it is stated that assistance will probably be
extended to the house by some of its foreign connec-
tions. The liabilities of the firm are believed to be
considerable.

The Niagara, from New York, has brought about
61,3001. in specie. A portion is on Continental
account, and the whole of the amount destined for
London will be sent away: in fact some of it has
been already sold for exportation.
About 40,0001. in gold was taken from the Bank
yesterday, to pay for Continental silver intended for
shipment on the 4th August by the Ripon, the en-
gagements for which now reach about 900,000/.
The corn market yesterday was rather steadier, at
about last Monday's rates. The imports of foreign
grain into London last week were very large. The
number of floating cargoes of grain arrived at Fal-
mouth and Queenstown since last Friday is fourteen.
Most of the country markets held at the close of last
week were somewhat firmer, and the same tendency
, is indicated in the last latices from France.

Harvest work in England is daily extending, and
it is calculated that the season is fully a fortnight
earlier than last year. The advices from France
continue to speak in most favourable terms of the
crops; and, although about half of the grain crops
are estimated to be still standing in the northern
and eastern departments, the harvest is about a
fortnight in advance of ordinary years. This cir-
cumstance greatly increases the probability of the
crops being gathered in iu satisfactory condition.

Telegraphic advice" from St. Petersburg quote the
price of tallow at 179r0. to 180.10, for delivery in
August.

Ncwa has been received of the arrival,
from the Peninsula, of the steamer Alhambra, re-
specting the safety of which a little doubt had begun
to prevail.

The prospectus of the Westminster Palace Hotel
Company (limited) is issued, with a proposed capital
of 100,0001., in shares of 101. each, on which the de-
posit is fixed at 11. per share. The object of this
company is to supply a first-class hotel in West,
minster especially suited to the wants of "the
members of the legislature, and the numerous atten-
dants upon the courts of justice and parliamentary
committees." The site selected for the building is
close to the Abbey and Houses of. Parliament. It is
stated that the arrangements of the establishment
will he remarkably complete, and will include direct
telegraphic communication with the Houses of Parlia-
ment and with all the principal railway stations. The
preliminary arrangements having been already con-
cluded, and a considerable number of shares taken,
the erection of the hotel is to be commenced imme-
diately.

The half-yearly meeting of the Great Western
Railway Company is called for the 14th August;
and that of the Buckinghamshire ltailway Company
for the same day.
The tenth ordinary general meeting of the Ceylon
Railway Company is called for the 4th August, to
receive a report from the directors to int:reuse the
capital, &c.
The adjourned meeting of the National Dieconnt
Company, for the election of an auditor, will take
place on the Gth August.

MONDAY Er ?NINO.

Business in the Stock Exchange to-day was quite
paralysod, owing to the non-receipt of news from
India. Not even at the most exciting period of the
war in the Crimea was so much anxiety evinced for
the receipt of further advises. Speculative business
in the stock markets is almost at a standstill, with
the exception of dealings in "option.," in which
shape a good deal of money has changed
hands. Considering the suspense, the funds
retained considerable steadiness during the greater
part of the day, but towards the close some heavi-
ness was observable. The latest reliable quotations
were about per cent. below those of y, sterday, the
less favourable tendency being aggravated by a de-
cline on the Paris Bourse.

Consols, which closed on Saturday at 91) to a for
the 6th August, varied to-day between that quota-
tion and9l). At the CUone the price wan rather
flatter, viz., 91a, " sellers," for the account, and 9l}
" sellers," for money. At half-past 4 o'clock
the quotation for August had receded to 91i,
rather "sellers," upon the receipt of lower prices
from Paris, and the circulation of adverse rumours;
but this price is destitute of official warranty. The
official business report is as follows :—Tluee per
Cent. Consols, for money, 91), 2. a, a Z • ditto.
for account, 6th August, 912, 3, j, I. 'Three per
Cent. Reduced, 911, a. New Three per Cents.,
91), 92, 91). Bank Stock, 215, 216. India Stock,
216. 'flame-and-a-Half per Cent. Exchequer Bonds,
falling payable in 1858 and 1859, 98).
The New Two.and-a-half per Cent., were also
officially marked 77.
Exchequer Bills were sensibly better, closing at
as. to ls. discount. India Bonds were dealt in at
255. to 17s. din., showing continued heaviness.
Turkish Six per Cents. sustained a fall of about
I per cent. to-day, closing at 942- to 1. The depres-
sion was partly in connexion with the failure of a
Greek firm (referred to below). Turkish Guaran-
teed Four per Cents. were last quoted 1021 to a ;
Peruvian Four-mid-a-Half per Cents., 81 to 82;
and Spanish Deferred Three per Cents., 25
to a. Other foreign stocks were inactive.
Bank shares to-day were quiet. Oriental Bank
continues flat. Ottoman Bank closed at ) tot. prem.
In land and steam shares there was little variation.
Royal Mail Steam advanced 11.
