CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
An aotive demand for monetary accommodation
is still experienced in the open market, but as the
suPplies of floating capital continue abundant, the
rates current for the negotiation of the best bills
remain 4 per cent. below the minimum of the Bank
of England, The quotations of brokers are 5:- d and
uPwards.

About £4,000 in gold was taken into the Bank
yesterday ; but 30,000 sovereigns were withdrawn
for b:
Sultan:lent to the West Indies by the Atrato.
The alterations that have occurred during the
tialit Week in the position of the Bank of England,

The Council of the Bank of France published
Yesterday their first weekly return. Although it
cailllut be described as very satisfactory, it never.
,melees presents some favourable alterations. The
Treasury balances have been increased by £312,000,
'but a decrease has taken place of £232,000 in the
eush ; of £230,000 in the discounts ; of £20,000 in
the loans ; of £200,000 in the notes in circulation ;

baring the last few days there has been rather
i
ueee activity in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Market. Sugars have been dealt in to a moderate
SZtent, at about late rates, while tea has advanced
ad. to 2d. per lb. for superior qualities of Indian.
Coffee has continued in good demand, at full prices,
Vilna in rice, fruit, and spices there has been little
'ore of importance. In the tallow market rather
'ere animation has prevailed, without, however,
anY change as regards values.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

Distracting Sounds,

(From the Spectator.)
Alas! when Bass is triumphant and the bill is
passed, what will the lover of peace and quietness
have gained ? There are people who like mechai-
nical music. There are people who raffle for
musical snuffboxes. Only the other day a clergy-
man living at the East-end of town came to a
police-magistrate with tears in his eyes and com-
plained that he could not write his sermons in
consequence of the un-Christian conduct of his next
door neighbour. If an organ-grinder were requested
to move on, he called ale offender into his front
garden, and listened in common with his children
and servants for hours together mith every sign of
rapturous delight. The
magistrate stigmatised this
conduct as unneighbourly, but the infatuated man
declared that if he had no garden he would call
the artist he loved into his balcony. Suppose
an Italian gentleman with a magnificent chest and
a powerful bass voice takes the next house and prac-
tises singing from ten in the morning tili nine at
night. We happen to know from practical expe-
rience that even when the singing is very good the
flesh of the involuntary listener wearies about the
o
evening of the second day. Mr. Babbage, on the
hand—and that gentleman has thought much
on these subjects—is of opinion that " the effect of a
uniform and continuous sound in distracting the at-
tention or in disturbing intellectual pursuits is
almost insensible, It is the change from quietness
to noise, or from one kind of noise to another which
instantly distracts the attention." This suggests to
one that if he had only thought of keeping a private
hurdy-gurdy to play constantly day and night before
his house, he would have balite' his tormentors, and
perhaps ere this have completed the analytical ma-
chine. For ourselves, we
principle he lays down, entirely agree with the
and regard the street-organ
with comparative complacency. It is only a low
monotonous sound. Still, though sharing to its full
extent that philosophic capacity to bear the calami-
ties of others which is seldom
wanting to the human
race, we abandon the Savoyard to Mr. Bass. But
what in return will the foes of street music do for
the haters of shrill and sadden sounds ? Are the
street cries to go unchecked ? A person sitting in
-
hot weather with his drawing room window open is
,probably not more than 20 feet from the passenger
on the foot pavement. A fiend in human shape,

is an ordinary achievement. Nor are these cries
merely shrill, they are so hideously uncouth that
they suggest the idea that the peripatetic green-
grocers, and crockery-men, and collectors of rabbit
adopted a system of

than street music, and yet the costermonger class
can set us all at defiance, for they yell as they walk.
We do not the least grudge Mr. Bass's clients any
relief he may be able to give them, but it will be
of no more good to the haters of noise than is to a
hungry man mustard without beef. Nor is it very
cer Lain that even within its own narrow limits the
measure will be very effective. You will have to
find a policeman before you can do anything, and
that ie one of the hardest things to find in this
metropolis. And when the policeman has reached
your house the culprit will be gone. The impatient
householder, instead of fuming at the presence of
the organ-grinder, will fume at the absence of the
constable, and Mr. Bass will give the wandering
minstrel at least this characteristic of the true
musician, that he suggests the unattainable. We
shall cry to him what Richter said to music—
" Away I Away ! Thou speakest to me of that
which in all my endless life I have not found, and
shall not find."

The fact of the matter is that different people
have very different notions as to what is beautiful
in sound as in everything else. Almost all rude
people love a monotonous sort of recitative. The
music of savages is never anything more, and it
may very well be doubted whether that of the
ancient Greeks is entitled to a much higher place
in the estimate of connoisseurs. Wordsworth was
a poet, but he could detect no melody in the Ranz
dez Vaches. The songs of de people, " sung to
the wheel end sung unto the
pail," are always of 1
this class; but that which is music in the ears of ;
the cook as she cleans her dishes drives her mistress
in the parlour to desperation. Even
Mr. Babbage
admits that all servants and
children love
hand-organs. The publicans would not encourage
them if their customers did not. Of course this
does not entitle people to worry others to death by
the gratification of their private tastes, and
good
sense and good feeling alike require that if we
amuse ourselves by making a noise we should take
care that it is at times and
places which are not
unreasonable. Speaking generally, neighbours
understand each other pretty well, and a quiet re
monstrance is seldom unheeded. But if a man's
neighbour is cantankerous, the law can never pre-
vent his doing as he likes on his awn premises,
street noises stand, no doubt
on g different footing,
for those who like street 0 right to the
public thoroughfare

Therefore any objector has a clear right to pre ,vail
over a whole streetful of willing listeners. It is
net without a pang that
we make the admission, but
justice requires that at the demand of a house-
holder even Punch and Judy
should move on. Nor
can we object that cotatumaey
should be summarily
punished, only we cannot help thinking that it
would be better instead of imprisoning the musi-
cian to impound his instrument, which might be
returned after a certain short interval on payment
of a fin©• As to the subject of street noises in gene-

CITY OF BRISTOL LIPEBOAT..—.
1
An interesting
ceremony took place on Wednesday
the occasion of the presentation) by that . ,
ancient city, df a
splendid lifeboat tUlly equipped, to the
National Liteboat
in Bristol) on
Institution. The boat, which is a telf.righting one, is 32
feet long, and was built in 14ndon
under the superinten-
deuce of the institution. The presentation took place on
the erbunds of the West of England Agricultural Show,
and there was present at the time about 20,000 persons.
The Mayor of Bristol, who was accompanied by the Earl
Fortenue, Captain R. Tryon, R.N., and other gentlemen,
having presented the lifeboat to the institution, Mr Lewis,
its secretary, accepted, in an appropriate speech, the gift
on behalf of the committee of management. He alluded to
the indefatigable exertions of Captain Tryon, R.N., in col-
lecting nearly £6OO to pay the expenses of the lifeboat, kc.,
the success of which undertaking was mainly owing to that
gentleman's valuable services. The lifeboat is to be sta-
tioned at Padstow, on the shores of the Bristol Channel,
and to replace a smaller boat that was previously there.
The Bristol people have named the boat the Albert Edward,
in compliment to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales,

AQUATICS,

ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.
THE SCHOONER RAM

For the first time since the establishment of the Royal
Thames Yacht Club its yesterday's schooner race was
honoured with the presence of Royalty, his Royal High-
ness the Prince of Wales accompanying the regatta through-
out. His Royal Highness and suite were conveyed from
Fenchurch-street to Tilbury per rail, where he embarked
on board the noble Commodore Lord Alfred Paget's beau-
tiful yawl Water Lily, where his lordship was waiting
to receive him, a message having been promptly despatched
by Lord de Roe, the vice-commodore, to bring the Eagle,
the large steamer chartered by the club, direct to Tilbury.
to take the Water Lily in tow. The illustrious party en
board the yacht consisted of the Prince of Wales, Prince
Alfred, Prince Louis of Hesse, Lord Sydney, Col. Keppel,
Mr Haig, Lady Alfred Paget, and Lady Bowmont.
As soon as the Royal ensign wry; observed the liveliest de-
monstrations of loyalty and gratification were exhibited, and
were duly and gracefully acknowledged by his Royal High-
ness and party. There were above 500 ladies and gentlemen
