COLLISION OFF HOLYHEAD.-SIX

LIVES LUST.

DRITI6II AND lILVINETIC TELEGRAM)

LIVERPOOL, TI ESPIT.

The ship Carlyle, which sailed yesterday from
this port for New York, has been obliged to put
back, damaged and leaky, having been in collision
off Holyhead with the Austrian barque Grayio Deo,
from Liverpool to Trieste, which went down in two
minutes. Six of the crew were drowned.

MONEY MARKET.-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLoar.

The funds are flatter to-day, upon the detailed
&deices from India. After declining 3-16ths pt.r
cent., prices arc now quoted about 4 per cent.
lower than they closed yesterday. Business in all
departments of the Stock Exchange is quiet.
Consols for the 6th August are now quoted 921
exactly, after receding to 921 to 1. For
money, the price is 92. The Three per Cents.
Reduced are marked 92 to ; the New
Three per Cents., 921 to • Bank Stock, 21.5;
India Stock, 213; Exchequer Bills, 3s. dia. to par.;
Exchequer Bonds, 981 to 4 ; and India Bonds, 108.
discount. . .

Turkish Six per Cents. show steadiness, being
marked 0 to 1. The Ouaranteed Four per Cents,
have been dealt in at 1021 to 1, being in.
demand. Other foreign stocks are quiet. The
Fates comprise Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents.,
at 97; Brazilian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., at 96;
hutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., at 6 ex
div.; Mexican at 221; Peruvian Three per Cents,
at 531 ; Sardinian Five per Cents. at 891; Spanish
Deferred at 231 ex div.; and Venezuela Active
at 34. .

The ship Walter hood has arrived off Plymouth,
from Sydney, but is not known to have any gold on
freight, and her advices have been anticipated.
Amongst the bond fide purchases of the funds
yesterday were, it is stated, one of 100,0001.
stock, and another of 50,0001. The consideration
that chiefly weighs upon the stock markets is
the probable heavy expenditure connected with
the operations in the new field of contest in the
East. It is reported that the number of European
troops to be despatched thither from this country,
previously stated at 14,000, will be increased as
quickly as possible to 20,000, or, according to some
statements, even to 25,000 men. A rumour has also
been circulated that the place of these troops
. . . ,

will be supplied at home by a re-organisation of the
militia. lime considerations yesterday caused the
favourable features involved in a fresh fall in the
corn market, and in the arrival of further con-
siderable supplies of gold, to pass almost un-
noticed. The alteration in the appearance
of the money market, however, has latterly become
so decided as to demand special notice. Good paper
is readily discounted in the open market at d per
cent., and in certain quarters somewhat exceptional
transactions have taken place at .5:.; and 51 per cent.,
so that the discount business of the Bank must now
be greatly diminished, and its resources proportion-
ately increasing. At the same time there is every
prospect of a further large addition being made this
week to the Bank's stock of bullion. Under these
circumstances a reduction of the Bank's minimum
rate to 51 per cent. at an early date is fully ex-
pected.

i

In the Stock Exchange yesterday loans on govern-
ment securities were readily obtainable at 5 to Si
per cent.
The rate of discount at Hamburg declined on
Saturday to 64 per cent.
The 211,000/. in gold brought from Melbourne by
the James Baines is expected to be delivered to-
day (Tuesday). The 221,400/., ex the ships Rox-
burgh Castle and Frances Ilenty, reached London
yesterday, and was temporarily lodged in the Bank
warehouses. Of the 462,0001. in Australian gold
now awaiting disposal, it is expected that by far the
larger proportion will be purchased by the Bank,
the more espeeiully as this description of gold ii
the least suited to the wants of the continental
buyers.
The amount of specie brought by the Europa from
New York 091,200/., of which 'a portion is ffo-
bably on continental account. The sum destined tot
this market will be in band to-day. The ex-
change at New York on Londou was rather less
favourable.
Of the 35,000/. in Russian gold recently imported,
10,0001. has been sold for the Continent, and the
rest sent into the Bank.
The Mexican dollars brought by the steams
Atrato were sold yesterday for China at is. 0;d. per
ounce, showing a reduction of Id. from the price
realised for the supply by the previous packet.
The ship Swiftsure and the steamer Indomitable
were advertised to sail from Melbourne for London
lon the 28th April, or two days after the James
Baines. Assuming that they took their departure
at the date fixed, these vessels have been 17 days
at sea.
The corn market yesterday was very henry, owing
to the line weather, and to the prospect of an early
and abundant harvest. Sales of wheat were with
difficulty effected at a decline of 2s. to 4s. ter
quarter from last Monday'® rates. Flour, of which
the supply was large, was offered at a reduction of
3s. per sack. The imports of foreign breadsta
into London last week were to a fair extent. To-
day's list of arrivals off the coast includes no grain-
laden vessel from porta east of Gibraltar.
It is expected that, if the weather continue
favourable, reaping will commence in the men
forward districts of England early next week. The
crops in most quarters are still most favourably
spoken of.
Transactions took place yesterday afternoon in ralt-
petre at a further advance of 64. to Is. per cwt. Ths
market for sugar and tea was very dull yesterday: 11
regards the latter article a downward tendency we
apparent. It is probable that the disturbanies
India may affect to some extent the course of price
at the quarterly sales of indigo, fixed to miameaat
today (Tuesday).
We regret very much to hear of the death, only
very. melancholy circumstances, of Mr. Geniis
Lava, of the well-known firm of Messrs. Oliver*
'Aviv, and Peachey, solicitors, of the Old Jowly.
We understand that Mr. Lavie fill from his home, SI

afterwards. The deceased was regarded as a
authority upon all points of tommercialpractice.

In the market for home mining stocks to-day, a ..11-
fair amount of business was done in certain devenp- 7,7
tions. The chief feature was a rise in Great Wheal to

also inquired for, whilst East Russell and East Basset
