,attlenient in Shares and Foreign Securities, fixed
:or Tuesday next, 16th inst., and against the
instalment of one million, falling due on the loan
on this day week, September the 18th. This
combination of circumstances has had its
effect upon the market for public securities
Consols were rather firm, and the market
~......_lly wore a steadier aspect. Consols for
kccount opened at 944-, rose to 1, then receded to
1, and afterwards regained their highest point, 944.
The first price for money was 941 ; a rise to 941
was established, but afterwards a reaction took
place, and the rates quoted were 94 and 941.. The
latest closing quotations were—Consol for Money
and Account, 941 to 9-ti. Exchequer Bills were
somewhat higher than on yesterday, 1.4 s to 17s
prem being paid.
Little business was done in the London Share.
Market, but prices generally were tolerably steady.
Sales were thus made—Caledonian, 52452; Eastern,
Counties, 81. Great Western, 63t- 641 and 631.

The Colonial Produce Markets are rather firmer
than in the early part of the week. Sugar is more
dealt in both here and in London. Altogether, we
deem business in these markets more healthy.

The Timber trade is in an improving condition,
and lately there has been an advancing tendency
in prices; rates of• freight have also improved,
which, as a matter of course, enhances the cost of
importation. The excellent semi monthly circular

tains a. copious review of the trade, It will be
found in another column, to which we refer the

Another attempt is apparently to be made to
bring the affairs of the Royal British Bank within
the scope of the law courts. Notice is given that
a petition for the dissolution and winding up of
the bank, under the Joint Stock Companies
Winding-up Acts, has been presented by Mr. Robt.
Mee, and that the petition is expected to be heard
before Vice-Chancellor Kindersly, on the 17th
inst., at Radley's Hotel, Southampton.
The next quarterly sales of Indigo have been
fixed to commence on the 14th of October, and the
declarations for these are expected to be large, the

this period of 1855, when 12,500 chests were
declared for the corresponding sales.

THE SwELLs.—James Sweeny, with half a dozen
aliases, and Mary Sinclair, the two swells who were
remanded a few days ago, on a charge of having com-
mitted a robbery at an auction in Duke-street, were
brought up yesterday at the police-office. Mr. Bluck
defended the female, and Mr. Goodier was for the male
prisoner. A remand was asked for again, on the ground
that a material witness was absent, and after some.
discussion the remand was granted.
