11-iIIEY MARKET

AND

COIUMICIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Indications of easier feeling have been manifested
today in discount circles. The transactions to-day
have been very moderate, and es money is now
beingahsorbed on account of the revenue payments
the quietude of business has occasioned some sur-
prise among bankers and others, The rates are a
little lower, but notwithstanding the concessions
discounters are willing to make the mercantile com-
munity seem to be holding back their bills as much
as their current demands will permit.
A further sum of £12,000 in gold was taken into
the Bank on Saturday.
The Harriet Pinckney has arrived from Bermuda
With X 70,000 in gold.
In the manufacturing districts during the past
Week there has not been any great deal of anima-
tion witnessed. At Manchester there was a decline
in the quotation of cotton, with a dull market for
cloths and yarn. Operations in woollen cloths at
Leeds and Huddersfield, and in worsted goods at
114;ifix, have been carried on to a rather large ex-
tent, but at Bradford little business was negotiated.
In the hardware districts also of Birmingham and
Sheffield, there was a slight falling off in the de-
!tend both for country and foreign orders,

Two o'.

telegram the Three per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 100.

transacted to-day in the market for the English
Funds, and it has not led to any alteration in the
quotations, Consols being 901 / for money and
account, and 908 d for the Bth of July.

PEAR OF LORD PALMERSTON—I rememb
incident which occurred some years ago at the Baran
gni d
Lucca. Au English stranger at one of *he hotels, after
washing his hands, threw his basinful of soap and water
cut of the window just as the Grand Duke was passing,
deluging his Imperidt Highness from head to foot. The
stranger hurried a c once to the street, and, throwing him-
self before the d ripping Sovereign, made the most humble
and apologetic ,excuses for his act; but the Grand Duke
atoll)" him s'aort of once, saying, "There, there
sly no
more of it ; donmention the matter to any one, or I shall
Pget into a correspondence with Palmerston, and be corn.

TnE, PRUSSIAN LOSSES IN THE LATE CAM-
PAtorr..—The total loss of the Prussian troop!

at 116 officers, 218 sub-officers, 46 bandsmen, and 1,592
privates killed and wounded, with 9 officers and 117 sul -
officers, bandsmE.n, and privates taken prisoners. Mote
than, half the latter are cavalry, the Bth Hussars in parti-
cular rhaving contributed a large proportion. Five of the
captured officers and many of the men are included in the
number of the wounded. 28 officers were killed in action
lor died immediately after of their wound., consisting of 1
llajor-gpneral (Von Raven), 2 majors (Von Jena and Von
ideeren), 3 captains 4 first-lieutenants, and 18 second-
lietltenants. The total Prussian loss may be broadly esti-
Si, 120 officers and about 1,800 men,
