ONE y MARKET( SHARE MARKETS---This day,

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
There is a very moderate demand for discount
accommodation, and the rates continue easy.
The bullion operations at the Bank of England
yesterday comprised the influx of £98,000 in gold,
and the withdrawal of 90,000 sovereigns.
The prospectus has appeared of the London Bank
of Scotland, with a capital of £1,000,000, in shares
of £lOO. The great development that has taken
place in the trade of Scotland since any large bank
was established there, the impr .ved culture and
value of the land, the increase of her industry and
population, have encouraged the directors to anti-
cipate the successful working of their new institu-
tion. It is asserted, moreover, that the financial
operations now carried on between London and
Scotland are somewhat complicated, as they are
obliged to be transacted through agencies. The
London Bank of Scotland will endeavour to remedy
this great drawback to merchants and others, by
establishing a uniform and more economical charge
for transacting business than at present exists.
Agencies will also be hereafter established in the
other principal towns. The undertaking is likely
to meet with the support of the investing classes.
A pamphlet has just been issued by Mr. Effing-
ham Wilson on the subject of debenture stock, as
affected by the recent decision of the committee of•
the House of Commons on the We,t Hartlepool
Hsrbours and Railway Company. It contains a
brief statement of the facts of that case, and a num-
ber of extracts from the comments of our contem-
poraries upon the results likely to flow from this
extraordinary innovation upon the established
practice of Parliament. The subject continues to
excite considerable anxiety and discussion, as it is
impossible not to see that the establishment of
such a precedent must affect the market value of all
such securities, and, indeed, all securities which
depend upon the good faith of Parliament and its
Acta, The pamphlet is entitled "Debenture Stock
no Security, an Act of Parliament no Protection."

Two O'CLOCK.

At the Paris Bourse this day, according to Mr.
Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were
69t. 40o.—inanimate.

The movtments of the precious metals during
the week have been very extensive. The imports
have amounted to about £263.850, while the exports
Were to the extent of £201,079.

Business in the English Stock Market, to-day,
has been very quiet, and it has not led to any
change of importance in quotations. The tendency,
however, has been decidedly unfavour-
able, sales and Consols having taken place
at 921 for money as well as the account.
The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 91/ ;
Exchequer Bills have risen to 3s. 6s. ; and Bank
Stock is marked 234 235. Transactions have taken
Place in India Stock at 228, in the 5 per Cents, at
1091, in the 4 per Cents. Enfaced 98, in the 5 per
Cents., do,, 1071, and in the 51 per Cent., do., at
1151 the Debentures have been quoted at 1001.
There has not been much activity to-day in the
Market for Foreign Securities, and the variations
have been rather limited. Turkish 6 per Cents.,
1854, have been 87 871 ; do., 1858, 671 684 ; do.,
1862, 70 ; and the Consolides are 471 I, being a
little firmer. Spanish Passive continued firm at
30 4, and the Certificates are about 10/ Q. Greek
have been dealt in at 28e 29; and the Coupons at
13,1. Mexican Stock has continued steady at 331 I;
and Italian Stock is marked 71. The Confederate
Loan has risen to 1/ prem.

The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
been limited, and the general tendency of prices
has been downwards. Caledonians, North Westerns,
Metropolitans, and North Eastern (Berwick) have
each declined about ss. ; and Great Northern A
Stock, and Lancashire and Yorkshire, 10s.
The Foreign and Colonial lines have continued
inactive, at about previous quotations.
For Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneout, Shares
there has been a very limited inquiry. Agra and
United Service has improved to 99 4,nd 99k; City
Bank to 100; and Royal Mail Steam are firm
at 61.1.

ME QUEEN.----The special objpct which her
Majesty had in visiting the Windsor Infirmary the other
day was to attend the death-bed of a very old and valued
servast, who had been for some time an inmate of the
establishment. This act of gracious kindness brought with
it great consolation to the aged sufferer.
Signor Tambprlik had a cold, and could not ding
" Trovatore" on Sunday last at Paris, to the manifest dis-
gust of several carriage loads of well-dressed ladies who
Itid taken tickets and hurried over their dinners.
