DEATH Or SIR R. WESTMACOTT, R.A.—We record with
regret the death of Sir Richard Westmacott, R.A. The

admired figure of Psyche, the Achilles in Hyde Park,

Collingwood, and others in Westminster Abbey and St.
Paul's, being among his works. He had been a member
of the Royal Academy 40 years, and was knighted in
1837. He died on the Ist inst ,in South Audley Street,
aged 82,

Mr. W. Avens's circular, issued this afternoon,
contains the following remarks :
The Money Market remains in a state of activity. The
demand has been regular, and occasionally heavy; but
no inconvenience has been felt in the Discount Mar-
ket. On the Stock Exchange a considerable demand has
existed every day, and rates average 5 per cent., caused
partly by the approach of the Consol settlement, and by
preparations to liquidate the final loan instalment of
4'1,000,000. The suspension of the Royal British Bank,
Which tookplace on Wednesday, has had little effect upon
the Money Market, beyond causing an appreciable in-
crease of caution in making advances on certain classes of
paper. Consols have been drooping all the week. Nothing
has occurred to support the market, and there is, appa-
rently, a general indisposition to effect transactions for
the present. The approach of the settlement, too, has
restricted operations. From these causes, quotations are
+ per cent. lower than last Saturday. The next account
is fixed for the Bth October; but the engagements for it
are, at.present, upon a very moderate scale. Continua-
tions yesterday, were from #to per cent. Railways are
also lower, with little or no business in them. Caledonians
have partly recovered the extreme depression of last week.
Some of the Scotch lines, such as North British, have
been in favour at an advance in consequence of the divi-
dends officially declared; but the market generally has
been weak, more from the want of support, owing to
temporary causes, than to any abatement in the public
confidence as to the value and prospects of railway pro-
perty. In Joint Stock Banks the principal event of the
week;is the suspension of the Royal British Bank. Mis-
management has been the cause of this catastrophe. The
depositors and shareholders are principally middle class
tradesmen and shopkeepers, to whom the event will be
extremely inconvenient; but in higher quarters it has
produced no effect beyond suggesting reflections of more
or less severity. Ottoman shares are still heavy at to
dis. The London and Paris Bank shareholders are to
bold a meeting on Tuesday, to consider the position and
prospects of that undertaking, concerning which there is
a good deal of dissatisfaction at the present moment ; and
the directors have themselves convened a meeting for the
19th inst. It is confidently believed that the concern will
have to be wound up.

To.day the transactions in the English Stock
Market have been limited, and the unfavourable
Bank return slightly affected quotations. While
arrangeinents are in progress for the settlement
of the account the market is generally very
sensitive, but in the present instance the quota-
tions are well maintained. Consols were rather
flatter throughout the day, being 944 to 95 for
money, and 94-Z- 95 at the close. For the 10th inst.
they were 948 to 95, and " after hours " 944
The October price was 958 land 951 a. Exchequer
Bills remained at 12s to 16s. The transfer books
for the Reduced Annuities are shut, but they were
quoted 95 with dividend for money. The New

l'hrees were 95a Consols Scrip- was marked
3. The settlement of the English Stock Market
is fixed for the 10th of September.
The London Share Market to-day has not been
active, and prices have undergone but little altera-
tion. Caledonian receded 1„ South Western -I,
Midland -,1„, 2, and South Eastern also ea, but the
others ruled firm, and Great Western were at a
slight improvement. In the Foreign Market the
only feature worth noticing was the decline of the
Northern of France to 40, owing to the alleged loss
sustained by the company through the disappear-
ance of the cashier with 40,0001. Riga and Duna-
burg Company's shares were 1 -11., prem. Colonial
Shares were dull at previous rates. Euphrates
Valley were -4 a prem., and Lombardo-Venetian
51 6e prem.
Trade, generally in the manufacturing districts,
is in a healthy condition, and a comparative degree
of activity prevails in the different branches of
trade, with the exception of that of Nottingham
silk, the price of which has risen to an enormous
extent, and has placed manufacturers in a very
awkward position. At Manchester purchasers have
come into the market more freely, and a decidedly
better feeling is manifest in both goods and yarns.
For yarns an advance of id. per lb. is required,
notwithstanding which a steady demand has been
maintained all week. Buyers, who might have
been disposed to hold back in consequence of the
higher rates claimed, find, that in the absence of
stocks, and with a rising cotton market, they are
not likely to improve their position by delay, and
therefore the hardening tendency later on in the
week has rather stimulated them to prompt action
than induced any holding back of orders. At the
Leeds Cloth Hall prices are steady; and from the
recent brisk demand, the stocks are low in the
manufacturers' hands, and the mills in consequence
continue to be well employed. The business at
Bradford is of a steady character, and an improve
ment is taking place at Leicester, more orders are
to hand; and manufacturers are looking for
a •good autumn trade. The corn trade. is
Still in a state of comparative inactivity ' •
some of the houses have a month's orders on hand,
others are just going on, nothing more ; and, as
we have said, there has been a partial stagnation
by the discovery which was in a moment to be the
means of saving a couple of pounds a ton in the
production of finished iron. The Welsh houses
have some orders in rails; in Staffordshire, that
branch of the trade has been dull for some time
past; the demand here just now is chiefly for bars
and rods, with a few orders for plates for the home
market. There have been orders in lately for bars
for South America; in other respects the trade
remains, as last reported, except that pig iron is
rather more difficult to sell, and prices are a trifle
lower. The make too is becoming larger than it
was a few weeks ago. We observe that the London
Times has fallen into a very curious error in rela-
tionigs
reverseir theis dieth the
to this. matter ; it states that during the
recent hot weather the stocksoip
trict greatly accumulated." The
fact ; the hot weather prevented such accumulation
as might otherwise have occurred; and even, now
there are no large stocks on the banks.
The pre-
liminary. meeting of the trade
now stands fixed for
...the last Thursday in the month, at Dudley.
Accounts from the wool market at Breslau, of
the 29th August, a t t s e the Animation exhibited at
the beginningof
that time, during which about 3,000 quintals were
sold in the market; and this might have been
greater had there been a sufficient quantity of
certain kinds of wool to meet the wants of the
manufacturers. The principal buyers were manu-
facturers and merchants from Saxony and the
Rhine, and agents from other places. !Ile prices
realised were as follows :—Silesian, 95 ritti. to 112
ditto per quintal; yearline ditto, 98 to 100
rix thalers ; Sterbling, 83 to 103 ditto ; long
staple in grease 75 to 80, and Hungarian 55 to 57
ditto per quintal. The prices generally were much
the same as at previous sales, and holders of stock
had no difficulty in selling. Up to the close of the
month there had been no wool of the present clip
received from Russia, but a supply was expected
shortly. The accounts from the Thins wool market
likewise report some degree of activity as has been

experienced during the previous few weeks, and
prices continued firm. This firmness appears t°
be general throughout the continental markets. .

afternoon, we are informed that the Money Mar'fi
at New York was fairly supplied for loans on ca!,',
and also for sheet discounts, and the turn Wag tsli
