ONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCLU4' INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Continued act:vity prevails in the Money Market
to-day, the demand at the Bank of England, as
Well as out of doors, being of a very active charac-
ter, and 4 per cent. is the lowest charge for the best
mercantile securities. The settlements now in pro-
gress at the Stock Exchange are no doubt exerting
an important influence, and 4 per cent. is the rate
for loans from day to day on Government Securities.
About /32,000 in gold was take❑ into the Bank
yesterday.
The Tasmanian, from the West Indies, brought
about 1705.600, and the City of New York from
America 144,060.
During the last few days the operations in the
Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets have been
'Very limited. Sugars in some instances have
Slightly declined, while tea, coffee, and rice have
remained inactive at about previous rates. The
Tallow Market, however, has been rather more ani-
mated, consequent upon extensive speculative deal-
ings, and a better inquiry on the part of the trade
for home consumption.
The official returns relating to trade and navi-
gation for the eight months ended the 31st August,
have just been published, from which it appears
that the total declared value of the exports have
been 189,751,851, against /82,276,107 in the
like period of the previous year, showing an
increase of £7,475,744. The increase is most
perceptible in beer and ale, cotton manu-
factures, earthenware, haberdashery, and millinery,
hardwares and cutlery, linen yarn, linen manufac-
tures, machinery, metals, silk manufactures, woollen
and worsted yarn, and worsted manufactures.
The importations of the principal articles were
larger as regards raw cotton, hemp, leather manu-
factures, provisions, sheep and lambs' wool, tea,
coffee, spices, sugar, tobacco, and wine. There
was a diminution, however, in raw silk, tallow,
Wheat, and flour. . .

The shipping accounts exhibit an increase in the
amount of tonnage employed in the foreign trade
of the United Kingdom, for the same period, of
.520,725 tons for the entries inwards, and of
141,546 tons for the clearances outwards.

In the coasting trade for the eight months,
169,201 tons more were employed than at the
corresponding period of 1862 for the entries in-
wards, and there was an increase :of 183,689 tons
on the clearances outwards.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris this day, according to Mr. Renter's tele
graw, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were at 68f. 25c.
6Si. 22c. 68f. 15c.—Animated.
Towards the close of business yesterday after-
noon tho Funds improved fully it per cent. on a
few purchases, encouraged by the large arrival of
apecie brought by the Tasmania, and the receipt of
higher prices from the Paris Bourse. The
advance, howev?r, has not been maintained, Consols
after being 93 for money, and 931 2- for the

the capture of the Bishop of Acri :—" A detachment of
B2rsaglieri, while searching
.the Sila, arrived in the valley
of Zarells. where they
found
brigands
guarding three
captives. They proved to be the bishop, the vicar, and a
man named Falcone. At the appearance of the soldiers the
brigands fled, abandoning their prisoners,
care of by the Bersaglieri, to whomriste who were taken
they related that at the
moment of their providential arrival the
assassins
by
sassins threatened
to kill Falcone, and they had commenced breaking his
collar-bone with the butt end of a musket The bishop,
who was thrown to the ground, conjured the
essassins to
finish him, for he could no longer walk. The
the prisoners having been restored by the presencee°urage of
of the
soldiers, it was thought advisable to proceed to the nearest
arest
house. The prelate, however, refused, for he was notne
able
to walk a step. A soldier then took him on his shoulders.
The bishop offered him his pastoral cross, which he had
succeeded in saving from the rapacity of the brigands; but
the soldier would not accept it, From this place they were
brought to Carnigliati, and then to Acri, where the bishop
sent his ereservers :1,000 lire."
