MR. SPURGEON'S New BOOK.—MT. Spurgeon
has just issued his first work from the FM. We says in
the preface :—" Never was a book written amid more
Incessant toil. Writing is to me the work of a
slave. It le • delight, a joy, a rapture to telk out one's
thoughts in words that dash upon the mind at the instant
when they are required ; but it is poor drudgery to sit still
and *groan for thoughts and words without succeeding in
obtaining them. Nothing but a sense of duty ham impelled
me to finish this little book, which has been more than two
years in hand."
THE COTTON SUPPLY FROM INDIA.—The Cotton
Supply Amociation recently forwarded to the East India
Company a memorandum, in which are enumerated certain
works, which, in the opinion of the emaciation would
tend to Menem the quantity, to improve the quality, and
to reduce the met of cotton exported from India to this
country. In reply, Sr I. C. Mels:ile write' :—" The
court fully concur in the view taken by the smodation
of the vast imtance of the objects which it is desired to
promotet
and will accordingly forward a copy of the
letter which you have submitted to them, for the early and
favourable consideration of the government of India, with
full authority to execute such of the works enumerated es
they may conaider desirable, so aeon as the present unfor-
tunate occurrent* in India will permit the authorities in
that country again to turn their attention to the subject of
public works."
DIRTVRBAITCE IN THE THEATRE ROYAL DUBLIN.
—William H. Ramon Stanford, and Frederick R. Fl ,
two resident Rodents of Trinity College, were charged on
Saturday night at the College-street Station, by Police-con-
stable 169 B, with endangering the peace end the Theatre
Royal. From the statement of the constable it appeared
that while on duty in the gallery of the Theatre Royal on
Saturday sighthe heard Mr. Stanford call out repeatedly for
a cheer foe the &pogo. These exclamatiana excited the
ledipaatioa el all who were near him, and, to prevent •
breech of the peace, and rave Mr. Stanford from beim mal-

MONEY MAREBT.-THIS DAT.

Two o'CLoci.

The funds to-day are firmer, and exhibit rem ark
able strength, owing to the investments of the public.
Prices are now quoted 1 to f„ per cent. higher than
at 4. o'clock yesterday. English railway (shares
also show some recovery.
The Bank of France has this morning raised the
rate of discount from 61 to 7k per cent.
Consols for the 10th of November were fret
marked 881 and 881, and have since improved to 881
to 1. For money the present quotation
is 881. The Three per Cents. Reduced are marked
871, 871, 871, and 871; the New Three per Cents.,
871, 871, 871, 871, 871, 87Z, and 871; Bank
Stock, 214 and 212; India Stock, 210 and 208;
Exchequer Bills, 16s. to 10s. dis., show:ng a fresh
fall ; and'lndia Bonds, 235. dia.
Turkish Six per Cents. have recovered to 971
to 1. Other foreign stocks are quiet. Bra-
zilian Old Five per Cents. have been dealt in at 981;
Danish Three per Cents., 84; Dutch Two and-a-
Half per Cents., at 631; ditto, Four per Cent.
Certifs., at 971; Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per
Cents., for account, at 77 ; Russian Five per Cents.,
at 106 ; and Swedish Four per Cents., at 83.
The Heatherbell has arrived in the London Docks
from Melbourne, with 19,64 oz. of gold on freight,
worth about 78,6001. This vessel has made a very
quick passage, having been at sea sixty-nine days,
but her dates have been anticipated by the arrival
of the Royal Charter.
It is scarcely necessary to remark that the
step taken by the Bank of England in raising the
minimum rate of discount from 7 per cent. to 8 per
cent, which raises the value of money to a
height unknown since the autumn of 1847, has
excited considerable sensation in all commercial
and monetary circles. To say that the step was
unexpected would scarcely be correct, since it
has been apprehended ever since yesterday
week, and the extremely adverse character of
the American news published yesterday at once im-
pressed many persons with a conviction that a
rise to 8 per cent. could not be much
longer delayed. Still the fact that the greater
part of the day passed without any announcement
from the Bank had induced an impression that the
alteration would at least be deferred until to-
morrow, for it was not until between 2 and 3 o'clock
that the notification was made. The calmness with
which it has been received contrasts most satisfac-
torily with the agitation witnessed a few days ago,
when the public mind was less familiarised with the
real scope of the monetary movements in progress
abroad. The new measure of the Bank is generally
regarded as, to a considerable extent, precautionary
and protective. From the transactions coming under
their notice, the directors were doubtless convinced
that preparations were in progress for immediately
transmitting large quantities of gold to America;
and, considering that the drain upon the Bank
continued without intermission all last week, they
had no alternative but to adopt a fresh measure of
restriction. It is quite clear that up to the l►test
date there were no signs whatever of a subsidence of
the panic in the American markets. On the con-
trary, a telegraphic despatch from a house of high
standing, dated New York, the evening of the Bth
inst., and transmitted to the steamer at Halifax,
states that bankers' bills on London bad been ne-
gotiated at 100 per cent., and describes the stock
market as exhibiting unmitigated heaviness- In-
deed, the price of Illinois Central Railway shares,
which was quoted in the letters from New York at
84, is reported in this despatch at only 77 to 771 per
cent, so long as the exchange is thus exceptionally
depressed, and the pressure for capital in America
so excessive, it is probable that no measures
which the monetary institutions of Europe can adopt
will ;prevent the efflux of specie from this side; the
utmost they can do will be to render the movement
more moderate. It is expected that shipments of
specie to a large amount will be made from Liver-
pool to New York this week. Several of the banks
connected with Canada have already sent out coin,
and will probably despatch much more considerable
quantities, with a view to strengthen their position
against all eventualities. _ _

The discount houses and banks have announced a
proportionate increase in tho rates allowed for
deposits. The Lombard-street discount houses now
allow 7 per cent. at call, and 71 per cent, with a
few days' notice ; the joint-stock banks 7 per cent.;
and the National Discount Company, 71 per cent. at
call, and 7i per cent. at notice.
_ _

AtParis yesterday the Three per Cent. Rentes closed
at 66.85 for money, and 66.80 for the end of October.
A comparison with the closing quotations of Satur-
day shows a reduction of I per cent. in the money
price, and of 2 per cent. in the account price. It is
expected that the Bank of France will now be com-
pelled to follow the example of the Bank of England,
and again raise the rate of discount._

At Amsterdam, Frankfort, and Vienna on Satur-
day the stock markets experienced a farther re•
oovery, but the rise in the rate of discount in London
will probably react unfavourably upon all the con-
tinental markets.

Letters received from Glasgow report the failare
of another house in that city, with liabilities rid i-
mated at about 100,0001.

The precise amount of gold brought from Mel-
bourne by the steamer King Philip, a 30,834 ounces
and 20,000 sovereigns, worth in all about 143,2001.
The sovereigns being of English coinage, will go
into the Bank.

The steamer James Brown has brought 11,5001, in
specie, principally sovereigns, from Constantinople.
The advices from Melbourne mention that the
ships advertised to sail at early dates for England
were the Essex, Northumberland, Seringapatam, and
Aberta.

The corn market yesterday was depressed, owing
to the state of the money market, coupled with the
accounts of the condition of the corn markets in
America. Wheat was quoted 2e. to 3s. per qr. lower
than on yesterday week. The number of floating
cargoes of grain arrived at ports of call since last
Friday is 26, of which 6 are wheat, 9 maize, 3 bar-
ley, 1 oats, and 1 beans. The demand for maize
continues. The country corn markets are heavy,
but in France a change has taken place, firmness
being now shown.
The Fairy has arrived from Foo-chow-foo, with
004,50011 e. of tea on freight.

Wire understand that the subscribers to the Baltic
Coffee-house will on Thursday next remove to their
new premises iuThreadneedle-street,formerly known
as the South Sea-house.

A telegraphic despatch received at Lloyd's,
dated Htleingfors, Oct. 17, mentions the wreck of
the steamer Spurn, while on her voyage from Cron.
stadt to Hull. The vessel struck upon Digsgar and
shortly afterwards sank, and is described as a " total
loss." The crew were saved.

The weekly traffic return of the Great Western
Railway of Canada, just received, exhibits a decrease
of 2,8891. compared with that for the corresponding
week of last year.
The " &ants" of the London General Omnibus
Company give notice that in consequence of an
inadequate number of shares being deposited prior
to the general meeting, which was called for the
20th inst., the /netting will be adjourned to the 10th
of November. The number of shares required to
be deposited, to render the meeting legal, was
50,000, or one-fourth of the total capital.
The numbers are published of 343 bonds, repre-
senting 67,3001. of the Danish Three per Cent. Loan,
which were cancelled, under the kinking fund, on
the 9th inst.

Owing to the further extraordinary depreciation
reported by the packetjuotarrived, Amtncan railway

securities of all descriptions were yesterday greatly
depressed, and in numerous cases prices were merely
nominal. For instance, Michigan Central 100 dole.
shares, which were quoted on Saturday, 60 to 60 per
cent., fell yesterday to 40 to 50 per cent., whilst
Michigan 'Southern have fallen from 20 to 23, to 10
to 20 per cent. (ex coupon). It is remarked, how-
ever, as evidence of the general belief in the transi-
tory nature of the present extreme depression.
that the prices current in London arc in nearly all
cases greatly above those quoted in Now York.
Subjoined is the report of yesterday's indigo sale :
The rale to-day hie gone rather easier, chiefly on account
of the B Catalogue pasoing, which consists of goods in second
bands, and out of 2,115 chests about 400 chaste sold, altar
which the A Catalogue was resumed. The sales are ex-
pected to finish to-morrow, there tefeg only 1,036 chests re-
mainieg to pass sale. 2,723 ches a hate paned to-dsy. of
which 1,400 cheats were vithdraw•r, 637 bought In, leaving
688 chests sold. Ti tol passed, 10,478 chests. Total sold,
9,263 chests.

MO`i DAT EVENING.

As might has e been expected in the present state
of the money market, the commercial demand for
accommodation continues very active. At the Bank
of England to-clay the demand was heavy, yet in
few quarters is there any actual pressure. There is
still a tolerably good supply of money in the open
market, and the high terms now offered for capital
must tend to bring it forward freely. There is no
immediate prospect of any drain of gold from the
Bank to the Continent. Indeed, the Bank to-day
purchased 80,0001. of the gold ex the steamer Royal
Charter, besides 24,0001. in sovereigns, about
180,0001. of the remittance by that vessel being at
the same time purchased by the buyers on conti-
nental account.

The Stock Exchange opened this morning with
general gloom, owing to the exceedingly unsatisfac-
tory accounts from the United States. The funds
were first quoted Iper cent. worse than they closed
on Saturday. As the day drew on, and the public
continued to invest, a recovery of 1 per cent. ensued,
but this was not long maintained, and, upon the
notification from the Bank, a fresh decline at once
took place. There was, however, no sign of panic;
indeed, under the circumstances, the market may be
said to have exhibited great comparative steadiness,
for the latest quotations showed a fall of only about
a per cent. compared with the closing prices of Sa-
turday. Great support is still derived from the
recent absorption of stock by the public, owing to
which loans on government securities from day to
day were readily obtainable in the Stock Exchange
at the moderate rate of sto 6 per cent. In nearly
all the other departments of the Stock Exchange
the prices of securities have given way.
Consols, which closed on Saturday at 88/ to / for
the 10th• November, opened this morning at 881 to 1,
upon the American news, and thence recovered to
881 to 1, owing to a continuance of investments.
Upon the announcement of the alteration at the
Bank there was an immediate fall to 881, which was
the quotation current at 4 o'clock. The price for
money was at the same hour 88. After the close if
the Stock Exchange the quotation was rather
firmer, at 881 to 4 for the account. The
official business report is ax follows:—Three per
Cent, Consols, for money, 88!, 88!, 881, 881,
881, 88/ ; ditto, for account (10th Nov.), 881,
881 88}, 88/, 88/, 881 ; Three per Cent. Re-
duced, 871, 871, 874 ex div. ; New Three per
Cents., 871, 87/, 871, 871 ex div. ; Long Annui-
ties, expiring in Jan., 1880, 2. Bank Stock, 213,
2131 ex div. • Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Exche-
quer Bonds falling payable in 1858, 984, 981. India
Bonds, 235. discount.
Exchequer Bile have fallen Is. to 2a., closing at
10s. to 6a. dill.

Turkish Six per Cents. opened considerably lower,
but after being marked 88/, were subsequently pur-
chased as high as 871, for the 30th inst. A relapse
then ensued, and the closing quotation was 881 to
871, or nearly 1 per cent, below that of Saturday.
The Guaranteed Four per Cents. may be quoted 971.
to 1. Some other classes of foreign securities were
weaker, but the general appearance of this depart-
ment of the market was tolerably settled.
Bank shares today were dull, but scarcely lower
in price. Those of the Bank of British North Ame-
rica were more offered. Royal Mail Steam shares
were quoted 11. higher, and North of Europe Steam
about 10e. higher. In other miscellaneous securities
business was very inanimate.
