XONETP MARKET.

AND
COMMERCUIL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
In the general discount market the inquiry is
described as tolerably active, at previous quotations.
Notice has been given that the bonds of the Con-
federate Loan will be ready for delivery in ex-
change for the paid-up scrip on the 24th inst., and
that the half-year's interest on them will be pay-
able on the Ist prox.
The accounts from the various manufacturing
districts for the past week have generally been
satisfactory. A better inquiry has prevailed for
both cloths and yarns at Manchester, and prices
are sustained. The woollen trade of Leeds, Brad-
ford, and Huddersfield has been animated, owing
to the inquiries for autumn and winter goods. The
hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and Not-
tingham have shown considerable activity, and in
the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield,
and Wolverhampton there has been considerable
activity in most departments.
Two o'CLocK.

At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 45c.
Rather firm.
At the half-yearly meeting to-day of the
Bank of Australasia, Mr. H. C. E. Childers in the
chair, a dividend was declared for the past six
months, payable on the 13th proximo, at the rate
of 14 per cent. per annum, free of income tax. It
was stated that all the new £lO shares had been
allotted, with the exception of 245, which would be
placed upon the market in the customary way, and
the premium carried to the credit of the bank.

Nothing of importance has transpired to-day in
the English Stock Market, and the few dealings,
speculative and for immediate delivery, that have
been eatt red into have not resulted in any material
variation, Consols being 93 k for transfer, and 938
for the account. The New Threes are marked 93 1;
the Reduced, 938 4 ; Exchequer Bill 3, ls. dis. to
2s. prem.; India Stock, ; and the 5 per Cent.
do., 1084 I.
In the Foreign Market there has been very little
change of importance, and business has continued
quiet. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 68 I ; Ditto
Consolides, 48a e ; Mexican, 381 ; Greek,
331 a; Ditto Coupons, 151 16 ; Spanish Passive,
348 -73; Ditto Certificates, 121 a ; Italian, 71 1
Portuguese, 481 ; Egyptian, 1044; 105; and the
Confederate Loan, 25 to 23 dis.

In the Railway Share Market the operations have
been extremely limited, and prices have generally
shown a downward tendency. Great Eastern A
stock has declined 10s, ; and Lancashire and York-
shire, ss. ; while North-Westerns have improved
10s., and South-Eastern, £l.
The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without
any material valuation.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are, in some in-
stances, a shade flatter. Alliance of London and
Liverpool have receded to 35! ; London and West-
minster have improved to 78 ; Union of London
realise 35-1 ; Crystal Palace Stock 40 to 401; Hud-
son Bay Company 2; 3 ; Oriental Inland Steam 3-1 ;
and Quebrada Land and Rail 3 to 34.

GARIBALDI ON THE AMERICAN WAR. The fol-
lowing letter has been addressed by Garibaldi to " Abraham
Lincoln, Liberator of the slaves in the Republic of Ame-
rica :"—" Copt era, August 6.—lf, in the midst of your
battles of Titans, our voice may reach you, permit the free
children of Columbus to approach you with words of good
omen, and with admiration for the great work which you
have undertaken. Inheritor of the idea of Christ and of
Brown, you will descend to posterity with the title of Libe-
rator, more enviable than a crown or any human treasure,
Ari entire race of men, bound by selfishness in the chains
ofitude, has been restored by you, and at the cost of
America's noblest blood, to the dignity of man, to civilisa-
tion, and to love. America, which taught liberty to our
fathers, ope
us up anew the solemn era of human progress.
As freemen, so,letrnitonise religiously the downfall of slavery'
Hail, Lincoln,
years have been t?f liberty Hail to you, who for two
otandard I Rail to fighting and falling around its regenerating
men of Italy kiss the you,race of liberated chain I The bruisesfree-
du which your chains have pro-
duced.—GARIBALDI.
