CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK,

This being Ascension-day, the directors of the
Bank of England, according usual custom,
Will not hold their weekly cot r ntil two o'clock.
In the meantime the Money Market is in a state of
suspense, bankers and brokers refusing to negotiate
bill et 3 per cent., the impression being that an
advance in the official minimum may be adopted.
The last week's railway receipts ascertained up
to this day are, in round figures, as under :

tory character. On the Great Western there

Two O'CLOCK.

The thirtieth annual meeting of the proprietors
of the National Provincial Bank of England took
place to-day—Mr. J. M. Laurie in the chair. The
report, which was agreed to, stated that the avail-
able balance from the business of the past 12 months
was £181,764, and out of this sum the directors
proposed, in addition to the dividend and bonus
already paid, a further bonus of 6 per cent., mak-
ing the division of profits in 1862 in ali 19 per
cent, upon the paid-up capital, free of income tax,
leaving the reserve as before at £135,0t5 3s. 7d.
The market for English Funds is very quiet, but
the quotations have been very well maintained. Con-
sols for money are 931 7, and for the account, less
the dividend, 92 *, showing steadiness. Tne New

chequer Bills 4s. dis. to par.
The settlement of the account has engaged almost
exclusive attention, and the fresh dealings have
consequently been very limited; prices have been
tolerably well supported. Turkish 6 per Cents.,

In the Railway Share Market the operations
have been of the most limited description. The
favourable character of the traffic returns, however,
has in some instances caused a firmer tone. Great
Western and Midland have improved 55.; North
Western, 10s.; Lancashire anti Yorkshire, 15s.
The Foreign and Colonial lines have remained
very inactive, without any material change in
prices.

Bdnk and Miscellaneous Shares show little
change of importance as regards prices. City Bank
are quoted 102; B ink of Australasia, 731 ; London
and Westminster, 78 to 781 ; Electric Telegraph,
103; and National Dist:oam Company, 91.

Juan de Mato Mange, a Peruvian soldier, was indicted

active part in it. The death of Silva was occasioned by his
jumping out of one of the portholes of the vessel avoid
th 9 fury of the soldiery, but more particularly the prisoner.
The identity of the prisoner was very defective, and the
judge put it to the jury whether, under all the circum-
stances it was worth going on with the case.
The jury were of opinion that it wort d be useless, and
returned a verdict of not guilty.

THIRD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
ALLEGED CONSPIRACY.
James Crowther and Samuel Goodburn surrendered to
an indictment chat g'ng them with conspiracy and fraud.
The case was very fully reported when the defendants were
examined at the Mansion house, and, it will be recollected,
they were formerly in the service of Messrs. Lang and Co.,
tchuleonial brokers, Mincing-lane, and the charge against
tha;'thw" that they had given credit to a false extent,fand
occasioned, e books had been falsified, and a great loss had been

The defence was that they were not guilty of
char and that all that been done had been effected in
the course of trade.
The case is not expected to conclude to-day.
