Business at the Bank yesterday was very limited,
but in other quarters a fair demand was experienced,
2t to 2.4 per cent. being still the terms for the best
bills. Little effect appears. to have been produced
by the payment of 20 per cent. on the Indian
Loan of 5,600,0001., fixed for yesterday. As about a
Million of the Debentures have been. paid up in full,
the two final instalments of twenty per cent each—
appointed for the 19th of July and 16th of Atlust
respectively--will apply to a capital of four millions
or less. A further reduction of the Bank of England

The Funds received a fresh impulse this morning, owing
to the progress made towards the construction of a new
Ministry, coupled with an increased hope that the war in
'ltaly will not be of long duration.' In the other markets
decided buoyancy was again shown. On 'Thange, this
afternoon, there was a fair demand for bills on the Conti-
nent ; and as regards Hamburgh, Frankfort, St. Peters-
burgh, and Naples, the tendency was less favourable for this
country.—Daily News City Article,' Tuesday Evening.
The statements regarding the progress of the formation
of the new ministry produced a good effect this morning,
and consols opened with great buoyancy. This led to
several realisations, both on the part of speculators and
the public, and a reaction took place, hut the closing
prices were If per cent. above yesterday. There were no
bullion operations at . the Bank to-day. The banking-
house of Messrs. Fuller and Co., of Moorgate-street, is to
amalgamate A. the end of the present month with that of
Messrs. Yapte, Banbury and Co., of Lombard-street. The

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.
LIVERPOOL, Wednesday Evening.
There has been a great improvement in the demand
for Cotton to-day, and a large business has been done,
the sales reaching 12,000 bales, the whole of which,
with the exception of 1,000 bales, having been taken
by the trade. Prices have not only been stiffer, but
in some instances rather higher prices have been paid.
The improvement noticed in the Liverpool Share
Market yesterday, has been increased to-day, and
with a considerable amount of business, prices have
further advanced. The sales were :-Birkenhead,
Lancashire, and Cheshire. 691 ; Caledonian, 81;
Lancashire and Yorkshire, 891, 891 c, 90, 891 ;
Ditto £9 shares, par; London and North Western,

After official hours, great firmness prevailed, and

Eastern Counties 11 3-16 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire,
at 90, 89+ ; Midlands at 991 ; North Eastern Ber-

The tenor of the news from the Continent chiefly
regarding the attitude of Prussia, caused the London
Stock Market to show heaviness, and Consols declined
from a quarter to three-eighths per cent.
Subsequently there was a further decline, in
consequence of telegraphic accounts from Paris
announcing a fall in prices on the French
Bourse, without any assignable cause, but
afterwards there was a slight reaction, and
quotations finally left off about one-half per cent.
below the closing prices of yesterday. The final
closing quotations were :-Consols for Money and
the Account, 921, 93 ; Exchequer Bills, Large and
Small, 24, 27.

Notwithstanding the heaviness of the Stock Ex- •
oneriff's Court, on. Saturday; Mr. Kerr was engaged nearly
the whole sitting in adjudicating in actions on promissory
change, the London Share Market showed consider-
able buoyancy in the fore part of the day, and
quotations had an upward movement ; but towards notes held by loan societies. In each case the judge created the close a slight reaction set in, and the final closing much sensation amongst the suitors by a calculation of the
quotations were as follow ;-Amber ate per-centage which these loan societies charged, irrespective

being an increase of 1,0991. on the same week last
classeS we" have enumerated,- consequently their forms and
features have nbt 'been impaired by hardships; rough-living,
provocationsond anxieties. They are, generally a buxom
class, and, can lay claim to a considerable share of, beauty.
Some of these rural belle's are the pictures of health
and happiness. They can cast rogucish and coquettish
glances from bright eyes. Their high-crowned
hats have a ,:fashonable air, being of the best
quality and often adorned with one or two black tassels.
Their dresses are often made of the best Welsh flannel; and
cut after the most approved civic style. On market-day many
of them wear. English shawls or silk capes. Their remune-
rative dairies enable them to indulge their feminine tastes
for a little, finery. Their caps are abundantly adorned
with gay ribbons, and their throats are encircled by very
pretty fancy kerchiefs with borders of fringe. They wear
upon their pretty little feet light pumps, with a black
ribbon, tied in a bow, instead of laces. I am, of course,
describing the younger and gayer class. They dispose of an
!rnmense quantity of fresh butter, eggs, and poultry, which
they bring to market in substantial spring carts, gaily
painted in blue and green, and drawn by a fast-trotting,
comfortable-looking horse, whose fat sides show that 'he is
well cared for. Their fathers, brothers, or farm-servants
accompany them to town. But when they reside in distant
parts of the country, near the railway, they avail them Selves
of the superior facilities afforded by the iron steed. Their
demeanour in market is arch and 'cheerful, and gentlemen
who are sensitive to the charms of rustic beauty are their
best customers, amusing themselves by pretending to driVe
hard bargains for fowls. The purchaser is generally sati--
fied with the result of his treaty, although he invariabl7
pays a fourth' more than the current rate of charges. • It

ZEKIEL GOES INTO TEE QUIRE, AND •TS BOOKED.-
Ezekiel Benton, of Somerville, New Hamshire,
his handkerchief with peppermint, screwed up his copra
and went with Bill Sims to the quire. I had taken n
place (says Zeke) at the end of the seat' towards the gal
and just across the little aisle at the end of the gal's se
towards us sat Hetty Burroughs. ; Now, you recoil&
Hetty :--you know you can't skeer up many prettier faci
than she's got any way. Well, that day her ribbon fixer,
set her off astonishen' We were short of music books
and so, when we' was standin' up to sing the fust hymn
}Jetty sez to me, sez she, "Mister Benton, will you 100 l
over me? " I kinder started, but tuk hold. Well, when
begun to sing, I found that my voice was a little fiusticated,
and that made Hetty luk straight at me ; and then I was
flusticated wuss. And then I looked at her, and then she
got to shakin', and down went the book clean over the
'front. "Ke chunk " it went, and
,made everybody jump.
When Hetty saw the book fall she came nigh fainting, and
grabbed- my arm-not a purpose, you know, but kinder
accidental. Well, Abe !it was that what did it. For, you
see, when meetin' was over, Hetty sez to me, as we was
going, out, sez she, Mr. Benton, I was so confused I didn't
know what I war about. 1 beg your pardon for taking hold
of your arm." " Lor, ma'am," sez I; "why, I liked it."
And then Hetty blushed, and didn't say nuthin'. And then
sez I, "I only wish you'd just take hold of my arm again,
and let me see you home." Well -do you believe it ?-
there was Hetty and the a walking home that evening, arm
in arm. When I left her, and got to our house. I sat down ;
and it was, for all the world, like a dream. * *, One
evenin', as I was a satin by 'Jetty, and had worked myself
up to the sticking pint, sez I, " Hefty, if a feller should ask
you to marry him, what wud you say ?" Then she laug.,,hed,
arid sez she, " That would depend on who asked me." Then,
sez I, " suppose it was Ned 'Willis." Sez she, " I'd tell
Ned Willis, but not you." That, kinder staggered me,
but I was too cute to lose the opportunity; and so I set
agen, "Suppose it was me ?" And then you ought to have
seen her pout up her lip, and sez she, " I don't take no
supposes." Well, now, you see there was nothing for met)
do but to touch the gun off. So bang it went. Sez I, " Lor,
Hetty, it is me. Won't you say yes ? " And then there
was such a hullabaloo in my head. I don't know exactly
what tuk place; but I thought I heard a " yes " whisperin'
somewhere out ,of the skirmish. Anyhow, after all,
Hetty and me was engaged ; and six months after we were
married. The day we was married we went off in the after-
noon ears for Boston. When we got to Brattleburgh, Hetty
asked me to get her a glass of lemonade. Well, while I
was in for the lemonade, off started the cars ; and when I
got with the lemonade in my leind, there they was a hun-
dred yards head start. Lor ! did'nt I holler! "My wife!
my wife !" I yelled like a Injun-and run like a Injun too.
Away went the cars, and away I foller'd, screamin', and
blowin', and holding the lemonade all the time. Then I
threw away the glass ; then I let my overcoat go ; then my
hat blew off; and then I fell down, blowed-out, by the side
of the track. The first thing that roused me up was Hefty's
voice Zeke 0, my Zeke! are you dead ? " You see,
Hetty, seein' the cars was startin' and I was'nt back with.
the lemonade, got out herself on the other side, and let the
ears go without her ; and so I had been a chasin' the cars,.
and Hetty" had been a chasin' me! But, no matter ; we're
all happy agen.
