TEE WASTE GROUND OP NEW FAERTNODON-
FIRI:FT.—At the weakly meeting of the Board of Works for
Holborn Holto district, bald on Monday evening, Mr. IL
Baldock in the chair, a deputation from the governors and
directore of the united parkins of St. Andrew, Holborn, and
St. George the Martyr, mediating of Maws. Watson, Prim,
and Goger, with Mr. F. Talbot, the clan to the board,
attended upon the District Dosed of Works to urge upon
them the necessity of calling upon the City authorities to
occupy with homes the waste ground of the new street lately
opened out from Farriugdon-street to Coppice-row, Clerics-
well. Mr. Watson stated that the removal of the homes
which occupied the site of the ground which had so long
betel waste, and the removal of a population of 16,000 pee-
WOI2, who had been distributed eieewhere, had caused a great
increase in the poor-rates, and also the paving, lighting,
county, and police-rates, as well as the land tax. All hope
of the railway being made was now given up.
He tmated the board would take dame steps to induce the
City to apply the ground to come beneficial use, and prevent
a longer c.,ntinuanee of the injury enstained by the ground
lying eo long wane. Mr. Goldsworthy, a member of the
board, mid the poor parish (St. Sepulchre) which he rem-
anted had been the lest sufferer, for at one end the old
Smithfield market had been removed, while at the other end
the houses had been removed for the intended street improve-
ment, and the ground so long allowed to Ile waste, which
canoed the poor nee/ to Increase from 2s. 6d. to 6s. in the
potted. (Hear.) Dr. Compile thought It Injudlcione at the
prevent time to go to the City on the subject, se then had to
deal with the contractor Mr. Jay, who had forfeited- 10,000(,
deposit, and they were urging the City authorities on the
sul,ject of a dead meat market In Smithfield. Mr. Belton
tore testimony to the great injury Saffron-bill had austained.
The deputation was informed that a day would be appointed
for irking the subject into condideration.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.—The picking in the vicinity
d Breechley is now very near brought to a close ; theme
which have been housed thing the past week are in ex-
cellent condition, and beinF well ripened they weigh well.
We shall exceed the estimate of the most experienced
planters; however, It is the general opinion here that the
duty must be considerably over-rated in the Borough. With
taw exciepliona, the hope throughout the Maidstone district
may now be said to have been gathered, leaving been got In
is good condition andwith good colour. In almost all places
Bevy have 011 at down better than was some time ago ex-
and have been picked in good time, so se to have
a superior crop for quality. The quantity however,
appears to have been somewhat exaggerated, as in all pro.
lability the duty will not exceed 200,0001., though the
general estimate in the Borongb:is 220,000/., end in some
Instance. still higher. About Rochester astonishing pro-
pene hoe been made In the picking during the fast week,
which in now almost entirely completed In the gardens about
this city. With regard to the crops, report. vary; in some
plantation. they are spoken of as having produced a better
mop than fir many years past, whilst some very large
growers maintain that they • not realise one-third of the
average. The favourite mere for the duty appears to be
180,0001.—Smilh Eastern Gazette.

candle that had just been put out. Up and up end again,
till a ridge is reached, and the outer edge of the mist
on the summit of Carmek Is darkly and driszingly
near. Is this the top P No, nothing like the top. It is
an aggravating peculiarity of all mountains, that although
they have only one top when they are seen (so they ought
always to be peen) from bxli ice they turn out to have a per-
fect eruption of false tripe whenever the traveller le sufficiently
ill-advised to go out of his way for the purpose of ascend-
ing them. Carrock le but a trumpery little mountain of
fifteen hundred feet, and it presumed to have false tops,
and even peecipteee, as if it was Mont Blame. No matter;
Onostehild enjoys it, and will go on; and Idle, who is
afraid of being kft behind by himself, must follow. On en-
tering the edge of the mild, the landlord stops, and my. he
hopes that it will not get tiny thicker. It is twenty year.

the min increases, that the party may be lost in the moun-
tain. Gocdchild hears this dreadful intimation, and Is not
in the least impressed by it. He marches for the top that

bound to go on forever, In defiance of everything. The land-
lord faithfully accompanies him. The two, to the dim eye
of Idle, far below, look in the exaggerative mist like a pair
of friendly giants, mounting the step of some Invisible castle
toge'ber. Up and up, and then down a little,
and then up, and then along a strip of level ground, and
then up again. The wind, a wind unknown in the happy
valley, blows keen and strong; the re-i-mist geta impenetra-
ble ; a dreary little cairn of crones appear.. The landlord
adds one to the heap, first walking all round the cairn as if he
were about to perform an incantation, then dropping the
stone on the top of the hemp with the gesture of a magician
adding an ingredient to a cauldron in full bubble. Ooodchild

minds of the exploring party is a little injured by the meters
of the direct conclusion to which the might of it points—the
said coneladon being that the mountain mist has actually
ptherect round them as the landlord feared it wuuld.—Lexy

MONEY MAREST.-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLocK.
At the commencement of business this morning
the funds showed flatness, and the advance of 1 per
cent., which was established at the close of business
yesterday, was not supported. Increased firmness,
however, has been displayed during the last hour,
owing chiefly to some purchases of Exchequer Bills
by the government broker, and present prices are
equal to those current at four o'clock yesterday.
Console for the 14th October, after standing at
90 to 1, have advanced to 901 to 1. For money the
present price is 901. Exchequer Bills have been
dealt in at 10s. to Sc. dis., being a little firmer.
Turkish Six per Cents. have advanced to 95;
to 1 for the 16th October. In other foreign stocks
there is still no movement of importance. Austrian
Five per Cents. have been dealt in at 811
(exch., 1011.) ; Brazilian Old Five per Cents.
at 1021 to 1011; do., Five per Cents., 1829 and
1839, at 101; Dutch Four per Cent. Certifs. at loot ;
Granada Active Bonds at 21; Portuguese Three
per Cents., 1853, at 45 to 1; fiardinian Five per
Cents. at 891 and Spanish Old 'three per Cents.
at 401.

The demand for money in commercial channels
continues very active, and at the Bank yesterday the
applications were both numerous and extensive, se
usual at this period of the season, when that esta-
blishment is so freely supplied with government
funds. In every quarter the rates are fully equal to
those of the Bank, and none but first-elan bills are
discounted at 54 per cent.
Of the gold ex the ships True Briton and Nola-
mahal, from Australia, only about 20,0001. is known
to have been purchneed for the Continent, in ad-
dition to the 55,0001. mentioned yesterday. The
Continental demand having somewhat slackened,
there is now a prospect of some further parcels being
sent into the Bank.

The steamer Alhambra has taken out 16,9131. in
specie to the Peninsula.
Transactions took place in bar silver yesterday
as high as Ss. 1 id. per oz. standard, showing an
advance, consequent upon the comparative smallness
of the supply at present in the market. For the
same reason it is thought that the shipments of
silver for the East by tho Colombo on the 4th Octo-
ber will not exceed between 600,0001. and 600,0001.
It seems pretty evident that the worst of the pres-
sure incidental to the drain of silver to the East has,
for the present at least, passed away ; and this is
matter for congratulation.
The steamer Dolphin, from Antwerp, has brought
about 30,0001, in silver.
The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were
firm, with rather a favourable tendency. The chef
advance was in the rate on Hamburg. Bills on
Belgium and Frankfort were also quoted slightly
higher. The current quotations are shown below:
Arne:dans, three months, 11.131 to 191 ; ditto, short,
11.151 .o 161; Rotterdam, three months, 11.115 f to 191; Ant..
twerp and Brasseb, three months, 25.371 to 421; Hamburg,
three months, 13.81 to f ; Paris, three months, 25.671
to 621 ; ditto, short, 25.20 to 6; Marseilles, three months,
25.60 to 21; Frankfort-on-the-Maine, three months, 1181
to 1:9; Petersburg, three month., 361 to 1; Vienna, three
months, 10.33 to 6; Trieste, three months, 10.34 to 6•
Naples, three month., 421 to 1; Genoa, three months, 26.66
to 70 ; Leghorn, three months. 29.96 to 30.05; Palermo, three
months, 1271 to 3 ; Mumma, three months, 127 to
1; Madrid, three months, 414 to 1 ; Cadiz,
months, 491 to 1; Oporto, three months, 621 to f ;
Lisbon, three months, 621 to 1.
The statements current with respect to the posi-
tion of Messrs. Harrison, 'Watson, and Co.,
of Hull, continue unsatisfactory, and an im-
pression has gained ground that the affairs of
the house will have to be thrown into the
Bankruptcy Court, which alone will be able to
deal authoritatively with the conflicting interests
involved. It is announced that the firm of )lesars.
Taylor and Bright, corn and seed merchants, of
Hull, have suspended payment. In addition to the
90,0001. advanced by the bank to the latter gentle-
man, who was chairman of the Hull Flax and Cotton
Mills Company, and to the 20,0001. lent to the
Cotton Company itself, it ia alleged that Mr.
Hassell, one of the largest shareholders in the
company, is indebted to the bank to the
enormous amount of 130,0001. If Messrs. Harrison,
Watson, and Company's affairs were conducted with
any degree of prudence it is difficult to conceive how
two or three individuals can have become possessed
of such enormous sums, the balk of which were
doubtless derived from the deposits lodged in the
bank. For an investigation of these and other points
the public procedure of the Court of Bankruptcy'
seems indispensable.
The market for tea has become firmer since the
receipt of the Eastern news.
A small quantity of the new season fine congou
has arrived, and been put on the market at 34., and
2s. 10d. has been offered for a part.
We notice that the governments of New South
Wales and Victoria are adding considerably to their
WWII of debentures. The latter government pro-
pose a further loan of 700,0001. for 1867, chiefly for
the construction of the Mount Alexander Railway.

TUESDAT

The funds to-day were rather steadier, but there
was little symptom of recovery, prices ranging from
to per cent. below those which prevailed during
the whole week prior to the receipt of the govern-
ment despatch from India. At three o'clock the
market stood exactly the same u it closed yester-
day, but after that hour there way a sudden rise of
per cent. This was consequent upon the appear-
ance of a late edition of a morning contemporary,
stating that General Havelock had reached Luck-
now ; and that General Nicholson's force had ac-
tually effected a junction with the main army before
Delhi under General Wilson, who had consequently
been enabled to surround the city, and cut off the
communications of the rebels. It is significant of
the sensitiveness of the market that this
statement, uncorroborated by any evidence in the

shape of dates, should have affected prices to the ex-
tent witnessed, but the rise is explained by the fact
that the announcement was made at a late hour,
when the majority of the leading operators had left
the market. After the close of the regular business,
operations to a comparatively limited amount are
sufficient to give an impetus to prices.

Consols, which closed yesterday at 91 to 1 for
the 14th October, varied during the greater part of
this day between that quotation and 901 to 1. At
3 o'clock the price was 90 to 1, but by 4 o'clock, upon
the statement above referred to, an advance to 901
to / had taken place. This improvement was fairly
supported after the regular hours, the quotation at
half-past four o'clock being 901 to 6-16. For money
the price may be quoted per cent. below that for
the account. The official business report is as fol-
lows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 901,
90, 891; ditto, for account, 14th October, 9+ll, 1, 1 ;
Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Exchequer Bonds, fall-
ing payable in 1868, arq ; India Bonds, 20s. dis.
Exchequer Bills remain dull, at 10s. to 6s. dis.
Turkish Six per Cents. were firm to-day, closing
at 93/ to j for the 18th October, or equal to 921 to
f, minus the dividend falling due the 10th October.
The Guaranteed Four per Cents, were last quoted
991 to 1 for the new account. In other foreign
stocks there was no striking variation, the opera-
tions being limited.
Illinois Central Railway shams were again in-
quired for to-day, and have improved to par to 2
prem.
In Bank shares to-day very little business took
place, and quotations were nominally unchanged.
Ottoman Bank shares closed at 181 to 1. National
Discount were inquired for, and have improved to
11 to 11 dis. an Diemen 's Land shares were
quoted about 1L lower, and Peel River were also
flatter. London General Omnibus were steady, at
31 to 31. Some scarcity of these shares has been
experienced at the present settlement, and 33. to 6d.
per share " backwardation" (or bonus for the loan
of them until the next fortnightly settlement
was paid.
The nominal cloning quotations for the shares in
some of the new undertakings are subjoined, viz.:
—Oude Railway, 1-16 dis. to 1-16 prem. ; Central
