CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCIC.

There is only a limited demand for money in the
general discount market, and the rate for the best
bills is 71 per cent.
About £67,000 in gold was taken into the bank
Yesterday.
There was a general downward movement in the
foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon.
At a meeting yesterday of the shareholders of
the East of England Bank, which suspended at
Norwich last month with liabilities for £600,000,
the resolution for the voluntary winding-up was
confirmed. The liquidators are Mr. J. B. Gibbons,
°f the firm of Harding, Pallein, Whinney, and
()Mons, and Mr. J. H. Tillett, of Norwich.

At Paris this day, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cents. were 66t, 37c.

The recent sales of money stock by some influen-
tial houses have induced general depression in the
English Stock Market, which, in the absence of
anything like the former demand by the investing
Public for this description of funded security, pre•
lents a very dell and heavy appearance. Console

THE CONFLAGRATION AT LIMOGES.--The Cour.
tier du Centre ot the 17th says :—" 'rile fire, as has
l'e'an already stated, began at the house of M Cance, a
'wetter, and from the very commencement the terrible con-
ile,clucnces of the conflagration were readily foreseen. The
we des Arenes and the streets adjacent are all very nar-
-"l3w. The wind had lulled during the day, but the dry
Weather which prevails over almost the whole of France
V:„,48 a powerful auxiliary to the progress of the flames.
ater was scarce in the immediate neighbourhood, and it
had to be tetched from as far as the Rue Turgot. The
pump situated on the premises where the (burrier du
Centre is printed supplied morethan 50 tons of water during
the night of the 15th and the following day. Chains of per-
ns were formed very slowly, although the authorities did
neverything in their power to organize assistance. At
last, however, the population furnished a good number to
assist the firemen and the troops of the garrison.
Worthy of remark that among the persons assisting
were
boys of from ton to fifteen years ot age, who for hours filled
Were
water and rolled along barrels any ono would imagine
re too heavy for them to manage. The fire had reached
its height
the one
at between two and three in the morning. On
one side it was destroying the house of M. Gandois,
and descending towards the Boulevard St. Catherine ; and
tttc
°D. the other it was reaching the house of M. de Martial, at
the
corn-r of the Feud Monte-a-Regret, That was the
moment of the greatest danger, for if the houses on the right
aide of the Boulevard St. Catherine had caught fire the
Rae
dU. Faubourg des Arenes and the whole boulevard
1:1f might have been destroyed. If, on the other
head, the fire had seized on the Rue Monte-a-Regret it
_would have reached the Prefecture, and no one knows
where it could have stopped. Happily those two dangers
Were
warded off, owing to the houses being kept well wetted
With water. The Place d'Aine presents a most lamentable
appearance. It is blocked up with furniture and articles
Of all kinds saved from the houses. One would say that
the
town had been bombarded and taken by assault. The
Ile des Arenes has completely disappeared, and a person
would seek in vain for the place where the magnificent
Porcelain warehouse of M. Menissier and the shop of M.
tar
uc-Duhary, the chemist, had stood. Neither can any
'races be discovered of the warehouses of MM. Dutreix,
peaty,
Aguiro, Maraud, and Basubruni"
