RUMOURED EVACUATION OF THE
NORTH SIDE OF SEBASTOPOL.

This afternoon it was currently rumoured in
the City that the North side of Sebastopol had

been evacuated by the Russians.

The effect of the rumour on 'Change was the
rise of the Funds per Cent.
Though such an event is by no means unlikely,
we can positively assert that nothing confirmatory
of the above rumour had reached her Majesty's
Government up to the present hour.

MONEY MARKET.

CITY, FOUR O'CLOCK.

Since the Bank raised its rate of discount great
agitation has prevailed. Consols were as low as
87 to for a few minutes, but have recovered since
to 87
Turkish G per Cents. have been 83i to and
the Scrip is 2 discount. Other securities are
lower proportionably, as shown by the closing offi-
cial lists.
In shares not much has been done.

THE PROPOSED ROAD ACROSS ST.
JAMES'S PARK..

TO THE EDITOR OE THE MP.

Sits,—l beg to fc,rward to you the copy of a letter ad-
dressed by me to Sir Benjamin Hall, in the hope that, as
the subject referred to is of public interest, you will have
the goodness to insert it in your next publication.
I am, Sir, your obed. servant,
JOHN VILLIERS SHELLEY.
Mansfield Park, 4th Oct., 1855.

Mansfield Park, 4th Oct., 1855.

MT DEAR HALL,—When I wrote to you on the 16th
ult. in relation to the proposed road across St. James's
Park, I did so in consequence of representations made to
me by some of my constituents, who thought that the
road would be objectionable, and that the Government
intended to proceed with the scheme without any refe-
rence being made to Parliament. This impression was
no doubt made upon them in consequence of statements
which appeared in the public papers, that the road was
to be proceeded with during the recess, and that the
works had been commenced ; but, after the assurance
contained in your letter of the 18th ult., " that nothing►
will be done till Parliament meets, when the public will
have an opportunity of considering the plans which will
be presented to the House of Commons, and of seeing
whether the accommodation offered to the public is the
best that should be granted," I am requested now to
state that they do not think it necessary to wait upon
you on Saturday next.
Hereafter, when they have had an opportunity of well
considering the plans, if they have objections to make it
may again become my duty to apply to you to receive a
deputation of my constituent 4.
I am, my dear Hall, yours truly,
JOHN VILLIERS SHELLEY.
The Right Hon. Sir Benjamin Hall, Bart., M.P.
