SIR EDWIN LANDSEER'S LIONS.—As works of
art Sir Edwin Landseer's lions for the base of the
Nelson column, in the estimation of the Reader, aro ill'.
finitely superior to Canov.t's lions at St. Peter's, or Thor-
waldsen's lion at Lucerne. The principal model, about .-11
feet long by some eight or nine feet high, would alalost
appear to have been closely copied from nature, not from 5
tame beast, but from a noble animal in its native wilds:
The mane, in which sculptured lions are almost all such
failures, in this magnificent model is a departure from til°
conventional curled hair, and flows in all its natural breadth
and freedom. If we have waited long for these lions,
at least, satisfactory to know that they will be worth
waiting for.
Mu ROBSON.S health, we are glad to report, is
greatly impnved, and that there are even hopes of hip
being able to reappear at the O:ympic before the clog °
the season.—The Reader.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

In the general Discount Market there is a rather
active demand for accommodation, and the rates
have advanced to 5-1, psr cent, for even the best
short dated paper. This change in affairs has been
produced by the liquidation of a large number of
railway debentures, and the necessary requirement
for the arrangement of the fortnightly account at
the Stock Exchange, which, owing to the recent
extensive transactions in Bank and other shares,
now diverts a very large sum from ordinary
channels.
There was a withdrawal of £280,000 in gold
from the Bank yesterday for transmission to Spain.
The bar silver by the last West India packet has
been sold at 5s per ounce.
In the Foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon
there was no material change.
Since Monday last the imports of specie have
amounted to £440,660, and the exports to

The English Stock Market to-day has presented
an ucusually quiet appearance, the aggregate
number of bargains recorded being extremely few.
There is a larger absence of the members than has
been known, even on Saturday, for a considerable
period, the want of disturbing causes to influence
speculation, and the fineness of the weather having
induced a great many to make holiday. Console con-
tinue at 90 I for money, and at 901 91 for account.
The New Threes and Reduced are 89f 90, India 6
per Cents. 1041 a ; and Exchequer Bills, Bs. die, to

There is very little animation or alteration in the
Foreign Market. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 69t- 7u; do. Consolides, 514 ; Mexican t,, ex all,

The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
been rather limited, and prices have in most in-
stances shown less firmness. Great Eastern have
declined North Western, Manchester, Shef- st;
field, and Lincoln, Midland, and South Eastern
each 1 ; and Great Northern, Lancashire, and sl
Yorkshire, and North Eastern, Berwick, I.
The Foreign and Colonial lines remain inac.
tive at previous rates.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are dealt in to an it
average extent, and prices generally are well sus- t
tattled. Agra and Masterman have improved to
150 151 ; London and Colonial to 244 25 ; and 91
