There has been a better feeling in the Manches-
ter goods market to-day, and a fair inquiry has
been experienced for both goods and yarns, and
for the latter rather better prices were obtained.
Accounts from Vienna give a very 'satisfactory
report of the state of affairs on the Bourse, and
the effect of the late pacific news has given new
life to the capitalists and speculators there. 5 per
cent Metallics ere above 82, and all other securi-
ties show continued firmness at advanced quota-
tions. The stock of the New Bank of Credit is in
request, and also that of the French Society, who
purchased the Austrian Railways. It is said that
the former is likely to obtain the monopoly of salt
and tobacco (at present held by the government)
upon favourable terms. Also that amongst the
ulterior financial prospects of Baron Bruck, he
intends to consign the conveyance of mails and
messages throughout the empire to the French
Railway Society, and that the system shall be
organised on the model of the Imperial Messa-

genie of France.
Intelligence from Madrid announces that the
minister of finance has been entering into negocia-
tions with the bank of St. Ferdinand to obtain
advances on the remaining portion of the clergy
lands unsold, and which appeared in the budget
for 1856. The sum obtained is 65 millions of reals,
at the rate of 6-1 per cent. interest. This negocia-
tion has been concluded on better terms, although
of the same character as that obtained by the
Minister Bravo Murirlo.

At a special general meeting of the proprietors
of the City Bank, numerously attended, held at
the London Tavern to-da3, —Sir Robert Carden,
chairman of the Board of Directors, in the chair
—the directors were authorised to increase the
capital to the extent of 7,000 shares of 1001. each.
The chairman stated that the directors would
exercise the power so conferred in such a way,
and at such times, as the interest of the bank
should dictate.
The English Funds to-day have not fully
maintained their late rise. Prices closed k tot-
per cent. lower than yesterday, the quotations
being 91 7-16 91 916. The decline was mainly
attributable to an increased and unusual pressure
for money in the Stock Exchange. This has oc-
casioned renewed applications forloans at the bank,
and some stringency in Lombard-street. and
elsewhere. The rate for money in the Consul
Market has risen from 67 to 7 per cent., and, in
several instances, even 8 per cent. was paid. The
pressure is to some extent explained by the
arrangements for the settlement of the account in
Railway Share and Foreign, Stocks Markets.
Although lower in price, the Funds retain
great firmness of character. At Paris, the
Bourse continues to show buoyancy. A fresh rise
of t to ',l,ths per cent was to day established in the
3 per cents. All the other Continental Stock
Markets are also rising rapidly. The appearance
of the Foreign Exchange this afternoon was leather
less favourable, especeially as regards Paris.
