THE LACNOII Of A RusSIAN CORVETTE,—The
Noe York Herald of the 16th says "At half-pest nine
o'clock yesterday morning the Russian Meant corvette was
launched from the yard of Wm. H. Webb, Req., foot of
Sixth-street, East River. From four to Sc. thousand poe-
tess, including many ladies, were present to witness the
launch, and a number of died:welshed Rimian officers end
gentlemen were to be seen in the eseemblage. The launch
was everything that could be desired, either by the builder
of the vessel or the Russian officer who superintended
her construction, Captain Alexander Crown. She is rem
light sad buoyant in the water, and made a favourable
improniote on all who saw her. Her dimensions are as
follows: Length, 214 feet; beam, 35 bet; depth of bold,
18 feet, and about 1,400 tons burthen. She has double deck',
and the hull her been built of the best materiale, and is
rigy fmtened with copper bolts in the man-
has two oscillating engines, with cyl ndas sixty
Inches In diameter, and eight feet Woks of pinion, and is 300-
home power. Her propeller has three fling's, made wholly
of gun metal, end is a beautiful specimen of workmanship ;
ft was in its place before alto was Lunched, se were some
other portions of her machinery. The corvette will be
finished early next spring, and will sail for the Amcor river
direct, where ohs will probsbly entre by the time navigation
Is open in that creader. Capt. Crown, who is mentioned
above es having superintended the construction of thin
venal, has been ccostantly in attendance since her keel war
laid, sad heel Impacted every poises of timber In her bull.
That she will prom one of the best and most enbelantial
retools sfioat we have no doubt."

MONEY MARKET.-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLooi.

The funds to-day have been again rather flatter,
bat the reduction in prices is at present limited to
per cent. In the morning support was afforded
by some purchases, for account, of the
Court of Chancery, but the market has since been
rendered weaker by a large sale for the approaching
settlement. The Bank of England have not yet
decided with respect to the question of making
loans upon stock during the abutting of the transfer
books.

Consols for money and the 7th instant were first
marked 901, and are now quoted 91 to 1. The
Three per Cent. Reduced have been dealt in at 891
to 901.; the New Three per Cents. at 891 to 901;
Bank Stock at 218 ; Exchequer Bills, at 4s. die. to
par.; Exchequer Bonds, 1858, at 98;; ditto, 18,59,
at 981 and 98 ; and India Bonds at 335. to 265. die.
Turkish Six per Cents. are steady at 911 to t.
Other foreign stocks are fairly supported. Sales
are recorded as follows :—Brazilian Old Five per
Cents., at 99} to 991; ditto Four-and-a-Half
per Cents., at 94/ ex div. ; Blunts Apes
Bonds, at 85 ; Chilian Six per Cents.,
at 102} to 1011; Danish Three per Cents.,
at 831 to 84; Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates, at
961; Mexican Bonds, for account (16th Dec.), at
19 ; Russian Five per Cents., at 1061 to 1051 ;
Sardinian Five per Cents., at 861, ex. div. ; Spanish
New Deferred Three per Cents., at 251; Turkish
Six per Cents., at 911; ditto for account (16th
December), at 911 to 911; ditto, Guaranteed Four
per Cents., at 901; ditto, for account, at 99j.
The Orinoco has arrived off Southampton, from
the West Indies and Mexico, but the announcement
of specie brought by her has not yet transpired in
the City. . . .

-- • The operations in the bullion department of the Bank
yesterday consisted of a purchase of about 64,0001,
in newly imported gold : there were no with-
drawals. No one possessing an acquaintance with the
currency system peculiar to Hamburg can fall into
the error of supposing that shipments of gold can
be made from this side for the relief of the oommu-
nity there. The Hamburg currency is based solely
upon silver, and the crash which is now going on
amongst its commercial houses, solvent and insol-
vent, furnishes an idea of the inevitable
consequences of a panic amongst a commu-
nity who are bound irrevocably in the
fatten of a purely metallic currency. Con-
Mame is at an end in Hamburg ; money is no
longer obtainable. Yesterday we gave the names of six
large houses which had just suspended. To-day we
have to add five more—viz., Mr. Conrad Warnecke,
Messrs. Wagner and Enett, Mears. J. C. Jacobi and
Son, Messrs. Barbeck and Wall, and Mr. J. P. N.
Jahncke. The first four are all in the colonial produce
trade; the fifth is a money-changing house. Many
more names were freely spoken of. To relieve the uni-
versal dittos measures arebeing adopted for attract-
ing silver to the city from all quarters. Yesterday some
increase in the demand for money was occasioned
in the London Stock Exchange, owing to the opera-
tions of the foreign bullion dealers, who eagerly
bought up for shipment to Hamburg all the available
parcels of silver in the market. The General Steam
Navigation Company's yawl John Ball, which will
sail from the Thames for Hamburg to-day, has on
board 81,6001. in silver. This silver would probably
have been despatched to the East, and ita trans-
mission back to the Continent can scarcely be said to
form an unfavourable feature for our market.
It is mentioned this morning that fully a million
in specie is now due, or nearly so, from various
quarters. The telegraphic advice, received from
Alexandria state that the Suffolk sailed from Mel-
bourne for London on the 3rd of October, with the
additional and im .rtant sum of 112,446 ounces of
gold, or about 450,1$ it. This vessel has been nearly
two months at sea.
It is stated that the position of the Bank of France
continues to improve. The stock of coin and bullion,
which was wet down at 7,681,0001. in the last return,

is alleged to have risen to 8,240,0001., and a large
amount of bills matured at the Bank on Monday (the
30th Nov.).
At Hamburg, owing to the monetary panic, prices
of stocks and shares are merely nominal.
According to a telegram from Frankfort, there is
a probability of the rate of discount being immedi-
ately reduced to five per cent.

The transfer book; for the undermentioned go-
vernment securities will be shut and re-opened at
the Bank of England and East India-house on the
days mentioned, viz.:—

Much regret is expressed at the stoppage of the
respectable house of Maus. Hermann, Cox, and Co.,
general merchants, of this city. The firm have also
a home at Liverpool. The liabilities are not ex-
pected to exceed 50,0001. The meets are estimated
to yield 10s. in the pound, and any advance in the
value of cotton, of which the firm hold a large stock,
would proportionately improve the prospects of the
liquidation. Subjoined is the circular issued :

The amount of specie shipped up to yesterday
afternoon on board the steamer Atrato, for the West
Indies and Mexico, was only 3,7861.
About 18,0001. in silver arrived in the Thames on
Monda&firizinthe Continent.
On ' yesterday afternoon the transaction of
businees in ills on several Continental cities was
again attended with difficulty. This is not surprising,
considering the prevailing distrust of credit on the
Continent. The rates on Hamburg, however, ruled
rather lower. Bills on Paris, on the other hand,
were more freely dealt in, and the quotations were
more favourable to this country. The current rates
are shown below, viz.:
. _ _

Amsterdam, three months, 12.21 to 31; do., abort,
11.181 to 191; Rotterdam, three months, 12.21 to 31; Ant-

The particulars are published of Danish Five per

been canoeUed, and of bonds to the amount of
11,9001. which have been drawn and are to be paid
off on the_ let of March next.

The balf-yearly interest is advertised on Matanzas
and Sabanilla Railroad 7 per cent bonds.
The silk market remains depressed. The follow-
ing report is from Messrs. R. Waithman and Co.,
and dated yesterday :

The silk Market be continued in the same depremed Mae
mentioned in our circular of last month ; the little bud-
aim doss consisting chiefly of • few forced sales of Chines,
Non 3 sad 4 Trams, and fair medium Tayrsm. at prioes a

have only been 2,009 bales. The China letters delivered yes-
terday bring dates from Bbal to the 7th of October ; the
mania of for the rungthen amounted to 47,000 balm
end the settlements to 34,000 Was leaving on the market en

duction of 60 to 00 dollars. The dealers gmnly were
showbg great &pelt:lon to realise. In Bengal and Italian
silk thin to nothing to notice.
