No matter of the slighted imperteme arose in any of the
lists rowed. There were prone tow overmers' objections,

We regret very much to announce the stoppage of
the private bank of Messrs. Harrison, Watson, and
Co., of Hull. The firm is an old and highly rc•
spouted one, and not the least suspicion of their em
barrassment seems to have been entertained. The de.
Melon to stop was adopted on Wednesday afternoon.
The partnere are Messrs. Robert Harmon, Janice
K. Watson, and Henry Pease. Their difficulties
hake arisen, if riabour may be credited, through
traneactious with houses in the grain trade, which
have themselves ii.nered severely by the late fall in
corn. The London correspondents of the firm are
Sir Charles Pric, and Co. The institution soy not
a bank of issue.

The whole of the 200,8001. in gold ex the Mont-
morency, from Melbourne, was yesterday purchased
for transmission to the Continent. It is understood
that a considerable portion of the gold lately bought
here Lai been for account of the Bank of France.

The steamer Colombo has brought 4,800/. in specie
from Alexandria. Complaints ate made by the
parties interested at the extraordinary- delay that has
occurred in the transmission. by the agents of the
European and Australian Mail Company, of the
60,9001. in Australian gold which reached Suez per
the steamer European as far beck as the 14th Aug.,
or one month and ten days ago.
Some transactions have taken place in bar si:ver
at Ss. I il. per ounce standard. The price realized
for the suppiy by the last West India packet was
figs. lid.
The markets for saltpetre and indigo remain firm.
Scotch pig iron was quoted a trifle lower ymterday,
owing to the prospect of diminished shipments to
the United States, cousequent upon the monetary
panic.
Letters from Stein state that the caravan front
Damascus to Bagdad has been pillaged of goods,
chiefly European, to the amount of 160,000/. ; and
that although the plunder is being sold openly in
the market, the Turkish authorities do not interfere.
Trade in the Levant is very dull, and the unsettled
state of affairs at Constantinople keeps the exchanges
very high.
The Finis Mon/tees publishes the convention con-
cluded between the French government and the
" (iompsgnie des Menageries Imperiales" for the
working of the proposed new line of steamers be-
tween France and the Brazils. The convention is to
last for 20 years, and the government grant an annmil
subvention of 4,700,0001, or 188,0001. sterling.

A memorial to the Trinity Board, advocating the
making of Folkestone a pilot station, in now lying
for signature at Lloyds', and is understood to havu
the support of the committee. If the measure be
adopted, the communication between London and the
Continent will at certain times be materially facili-
tated, particularly when the wind is from the south-
west. . _ .

We understand that at the meeting of the share-
holders in the Monarch Fire and Life Insurance
Company, resolutions confirming those previously
adapted for the ama:gamation of that company with
the Liverpool and London Company were passed.
It was mentioned that the income of the concern
from premiums alone will exceed 400,00 fit, mud that
the funds actually invested are more than a million
bterlin,t.

THURSDAY EVENING.

The Funds remain perfectly stationary in price ;
operators, both bond fine and speculative, holding
aloof. The market will probably remain stagnant,
until its tendency is determined by the arrival of
the anxiously-expected news from India. Mean-
while, Consols do nut descend below 90, chiefly be-
cause many of the brokers hold orders to edict in-
vestments at that figure. The principal business in
the Stock Exchange was in English railway shares,
several descriptioae of which exhibited symptoms of
recovery from the late depression. French and Ca-
nadian railway securities were also in demand, at
improved prices.

In the discount market, and at the Bank, the de-
mand for mosey wn•; tair, but by no means
resting. The minimum rate out of doors is still 5}
per cent. In the Stock Exchange money commands
5 to 5) per cent. on government securities.
