CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
As the Bank authorities have not reduced their
rate of discount, the money market presents a firmer
appearance, and the demand for accommodation has
slightly increased. First class three months bills
cannot now be negotiated under 61 per cent.
With the exception of a small reduction in the
isitock of bullion, the alterations exhibited in the
anff °f Eng'and returns are favourable. Annexed
are the pariiculers :

litian has been augmented £2,080,000. The
4r,e,asury accounts show an augmentation of
41'18,000, and there is a diminution of £2,080,000
the notes in circulation, and of £870,000 in the
current accounts.
toUhe difqculty experienced in obtaining admission
Ae
zi6ting clubs has induced the formation of a
s' he, which will be established under the Joint
`c'ek Companies' Act of 1862. There can be no
that
that there is a great want of new clubs, and
the number of candidates for admission to those
ilaly in existence is so great that in most cases
„Be7eral years must elapse before a candidate can
'°Pe for election. The names of the Directors afford
"'"37 guarantee that the project will be successfully
e44ied out, and a large dividend is expected on the
tekaPitel to be paid up. A considerable portion of
capital has already been subscribed.
About £31,000 in gold was withdrawn from the
tank yesterday.

BY advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.4 per £1 stcrlia
..t,andar d gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
moths per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburg.
The '=nurse of exchange at New York on London for bills at
80 days'
sight is about 204 per cent., and the premium on
gold is
863 per cent. At these rates there is a small pro t
on the importation of gold from the United States.

THE GREEK LOAN.—Correspondence which has
been presented to Parliament relating to the arrangement
concluded at Athens in 1860 shows that after the report of
the commission of inquiry appointed in 1857, with the con-
currence of the Greek Government, the three protecting
Powers—Great Britain, France, and Russia—fixed the
minimum sum to be paid by Greece towards meeting the
charges on the loan guaranteed by the three Powers at
900,0001. The Greek Government was at the same time
informed that, if it failed in discharging its du:,y, the only
course left for the protecting Powers would be rigorously to
exact the execution of the 12th Article of the treaty of 1832,
by which Greece binds herself to lay aside the first produce
of Greek revenues towards the interest and sinking fund of
the loan. The Greek Government in June, 1860, stated in
its answer that, while it considered this demand dispropor-
tionate to its resources and its wants, it had, nevertheless,
determined to carry it into effect by imposing sacrifices and
confining expenses to what is strictly necessary; and in
1861 the Greek Minister stated that the 900,000 f. lay ready
at the Bank. According to the financial returns laid before
Parliament Great Britain received from Greece in 1861 the
sum of 43,941 towards the 4900,000 then already due ; be-
yond that nothing has been received since 1848.
A JUDICIAL DIFFICULTY.— The ease of Pitt v.
Pitt came before the Second Division of the Court of
Session on Friday last, on a motion to apply the judgment
of the House of Lords. The appeal was upon the question
of jurisdiction, on which point the House of Lords reversed
the judgment of the Court below, curtailing its jurisdiction,
and ordered that the appellant be " airsoilzied." The Lord
Juktice-Clerk said the judgment of the House of Lords was
inconsistent with itself, for, if this Court had no jurisdiction,
plainly it could not pronounce a judgment of absolvitor,
any more than it could a judgment to the opposite effect.
It was obvious that the House of Lords or the Clerk of
Parliament had used a term in Scotch law the meaning of
which they did not understand, for they could not mean
that a Court having no jurisdiction was to pronounce upon
the merits of the case. There was, however, a remit to this
Court to do what was just and consistent with the House of
Lords' judgment, and he did not think they would bedoing
what was just or consistent with it were they to give decree
of absolvitor. He thought the application of the judg.nent
should be to pronounce an interlocutor dismissing the action.
The Court resolved accordingly.

ERRORS OF TUE PRESS.--I have been referred
to a volume of popular sermons, in which, owing
to the negligence of the proof readers, a deplorable number
of typographical errors appeared. One of these, as if
is reference to the others, was singularly appropriate
to the unhappy circumstances of the poor author ;
the verse, "Princess have persecated me without a cause,"
reading "Printers have persecuted me without a cause."
Campbell's celebrated Essay on Miracles appeared in one of
the advertisement ss "Campbell's Essay on Mangles," In
newspaper articles:of my own I have had the misfortune to
see " the internal relations of the Church" converted into
"the infernal relations of the Church," and people who
" spoke the Gaelic language" were made to "smoke" it. I
remember a great public demonstrati,n that took place in a
town in which I was residing at the time. After one or
two unimportant speeches a certain demagogue arose whose
appearance was the Fignal for loud and enthusiastic cheer-
ing from the multitud•i. A party newspaper describing this,
in the course of its gratulatory and fervid report, said that
the vast concourse had "rent the air with their snouts."
