MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELTE O'CLOCK.
The change that came ever the aspect of monetary
ffiirs yesterday has produced a very favourable
one in the Money Market. The symptoms, which
afore were hardly discernible, are making them-
elves felt in full force. Capital is not so abun-
ant, and the public aro not so eager to obtain ncr
ommodation, lest higher rates should prevail. The
)rokers have therefore been compelled to offer the
onctssion of k per cent, by granting assistance on
ho best bills at 81 per cent., but the boon is still
oo small to induce the commercial classes to come
or ward and ask for more aid than they immediately
squire,

A further sum of £25,000 in gold was taken into
be Bank yesterday.

Bu,iness i❑ the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets during the last few days has been very
neetive. Sugars have declined about 6d per cwt.,
vhile the operations in tea have been limited at
Lbout former rates. Coffee has been in moderate
equest at steady prices, while in rice, fruit, salt-
)etre, and tallow, the dealings have shown no mate-
ial alteration as regards values.
The committee of the Stock Exchange have ap.
minted Friday, 16th inst., a special sottling.day in
he shares of the Maritime Credit Company Limited
for transactions entered into on and after the 16th
rune). To be marked in the twice a week list.
It is notified that the lists for applications for
'hares to be allotted to the public in the Credit
?oncier and Mobilier of England will be closed on
Saturday next, at 3 o'clock, for London, and on
Slonday, the 19th instant, at 12 o'clock, for the
wuntry.

Two o'CLoor.

At the Paris Bourse this day, according to
Eteuter,s telegram, the 3 per Cent. Bellies were
luoted 66f. 75c. Little doing.
Steadiness is now the characteristic of the Stock
Exchange markets. The English Funds are being
readily purchased, and there is consequently a daily
idvance reported in the quotaticns. The improve..

Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day,

Tone of the market unchanged, and very little
doing. Sales probably 2,000 or 3,000 bales.

A notice to navigators has been published by the
harbour roaster of Santander, on the north coast of Spain,
I sting that a bank his been formed on the shore of Punta',
by the sand washed down by the River Cubes, The bank
is declared to be very dangerous, as it stands in the way of
vessels steeling for the entrance of the port. It extends for
about 100 yards to the north of the shore of Puntal, and is
from 45 to 60 yards wide from east to west, its form being

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 13, 1864.

The Prince and Princess of Wales in

Denmark,

COPENHAGEN, Thursday,
Even if the Prince and Princess of,Wales had not
arranged to pass a few days quietly at Fredensborg
CastleAwhich lies about 27 miles from Copenhagen,
the drenching showers that have fallen almost con-
tinually since their arrival in Denmark would put
anything like sight-seeing out of the question. A
heavy, soaking, noiseless rain, such as English
agriculturists would delight
in, and to which the
inhabitants apparently are well accustomed, for
they walk about with or without umbrellas, en-
tirely disregarding it, covers the streets with little
sheets of water that throb like pulses as they are
beaten and swollen by further drops descending
every moment. If a temporary cessation does take
place and a ray of sunshine tempts the visitor half
a street from his hotel, he speedily has occasion to
desire his overcoat and his very strongest b.rots.
DroskiLs, indeed, and even in some quarters omni-
buses running upon tramways, afford the means of
locomotion under cover, but, as in all the northern
cities, these have a place of their own, which must
not be interfered with.

At Fredensborg yesterday the birthday of the
Queen of Denmark was privately, but not on that
account the less warmly celebrated. At 12 o'clock
all the principal personages resident in the Castle,
and also the members cf the Corps Diplomatic:lnc,
had the honour of being received and of tendering
their congratulations. In the evening there was a
dinner party, at which about 40 sat down to table.
The circle included all the members of the Royal
family at present staying. at Fredensborg to meet
the Prince and Princess of Wales, Sir A. and Lady
Paget, with Mr. Gosling and Mr. Scott, of the
British Embassy, the immediate suite of their
Royal Highnesses, the commander of the yacht
Osborne, and the captains of her Majesty's
steamers Aurora and Salamis. After dinner his
Royal Highness the Prince of Wales proposed the
health of the Queen of Denmark, and immediately
afterwards the King of Danmark proposed that of
her Majesty Queen Victoria. The company then
separated, the remainder of the evening being spent
in private.

Owing partly to the very unfavourable state of
the weather, and to the feet that communication
with the capital by railway is still impeded, some
uncertainty prevails as to the actual proceedings of
the Royal party. It is probable that the Prince
and Princess of Wales will remain at Fredensborg
until the beginning of next week, and that they
will then proceed to Bernstorff, which, before the
King ascended the throne, constituted his family
residence. This castle being much smaller than the
one where they are now staying, the Prince and
Princess will take with them only a portion of
their suite ; but, on the other hand, its proximity to
Copenhagen will afford opportunities for visiting
many objects of interest with which the capital
abounds. It is nearly certain that the Royal party,
or at any rate the Prince of Wales, will visit Stock-
holm towards the end of the month, but the design
at one time entertained of extending the tour so as
to include Moscow and St. Petersburg has been
abandoned, owing to the lateness of the season.
The time of year is already advanced for Sweden,
and a month later travelling in Russia would be at-
tended with extreme difficulties.

Concerning the visit of the Prince and Princess to
Copenhagen at the present moment public opinion
has been a good deal divided. Naturally, when a
nation undergoes humiliation and defeat, when it is
conscious of outrages on the part of others and of
some mistakes committed by itself, it is not in the
mood for seeing anything coleur do rose. Whatever
foundation there may have been for the expectations
based on an English alliance, these expectations
undoubtedly were entertained with a blind unques-
.

tioning faith, and when these were disappointed the
mortification was proportionately bitter. The signa-
ture of England to the treaty of 1852 was looked on
as the one good name on the back of the bill which,
if all others failed, was to secure performance of the
contract. Since it has proved that this task was
more than England could or would undertake, the
Danish feeling towards that country and its people
has, to say the least, cooled very sensibly. There
are symptoms, however. that clearer views and wiser
counsels are already beginning to resume their
sway, and that the violent language indulged in
recently by a section of the press finds no approval
from the more enlightened portion of the commu-
nity. Dagbladet, the organ of the more influential
Opposition, contrast the enthusiastic demonstra-
tions which took place before the departure of the
Princess Alexandra, with the silent welcome that
meets her as Princess of Wales, and sets itself to
explain why there are now no fetes in her honour.
It is not, Dugbladct says, that any less warm feels
ings are entertained towards her personally, or that
any doubt is felt of her affection for Denmark; but
the displays when she was about to leave for Eng.
land possessed a double signification. They were
intended to celebrate not merely a personal but a
national union. She returns at a moment when the
nation is bent down beneath a great calamity, and
when the hope that sustained it has been utterly
shattered. There is no longer the capacity to re-
joice ; there are no roses to scatter before her,
because they have all been strewn upon the tombs
of those warriors who have fallen. Daybladel ex-
presses satisfaction at the presence of " the Eng.
