XONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The inquiry for monetary accommodation this
morning
in the general discount market is reported
as active, the transactions at 3i7,- per cent. have been
only exceptional, the full rate of 4 per cent. being
charged for first class three months' paper. This
Present firmness, it is supposed, will continue till
after the payment of the October dividends, by
Which time also the expenditure in conaection with
the harvest in the northern districts will also have
used, and a large amount of capital thus be thrown
upon the general market.
A further sum of £47,000 in gold was taken into
the Bank on Saturday.
The Roxburgh Castle, froaMelboutne, has arrived
With £174,000.
Prom the manufacturing districts the accounts
for the past week continue satisfactory. Business
alt Manchester in both cloths and yarns remained
Moderately active, while in the woollen districts of
leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield there has been
rather less inquiry for winter goods. •In the
hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and Not-
tingham there has been a steady business negotiated,
While in the hardware districts of Birmingham,
Sheffield, avid Wolverhampton no material altera-
tion can be reported.

Two O'CLOCK.
At Paris this day, according to Mr. Renter's tele-
gram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were dull at 68f. 40c.
to 68f. 47c.

Business has been resumed this morning in the
English Stock Market, bat little activity is dis-
Played. In fact, English are neglected for many
of the foreign descriptions, and, as a consequence,
Consols are quoted the same as on Friday. The
prices are 931 1 for money, and 93a / for the ac-
count. The Reduced 3 per Cents. are 928 k, and
the New Threes, 921 ; Exchequer Bills continue at
Par to 3s. prem.; India 5 per Cents., 1081 ; and
the Bonds, 16s. to 20s. prem.
Several important alterations have taken place
in the Foreign market, and business is very
active. Mexican have been as high as 474 /, but
they have since reacted to 46/ 47, or a above the
closing prices of Friday last. The Confederate
l'uo has dropped 21- per cent., viz., to 28 26 dis.
Turkish C percents., 1858, have risen to 704 71k;
do. 1862, to 711 72; do. Consolides, to 541 55.
Greek are 381 39; do. Coepons, 18/ 19; Spanish
Passive, 361 37; do. Certificates, 14k k ; and Vene-
2aelan 61 62.

In the Railway Share Market there has been
'very little animation, and quotations generally
show no change of importance. Great Northern,
-Lancashire and Yorkshire, South Western, Midland,
and South Eastern, have receded ss; and Great
Western have advanced ss.

The Foreign and Colonial lines remain inactive
ttt about previous rates.
Bank and Miscellaneoub shares continue to be

ithoWn an upward movement.

Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day.

(RETITER'S TELEGRAMS.)

Very strong Sales, about 15,000 bales, or more.
Large imports, but quantity not yet reported. Im-
ports previously, 570.

We are officially informed that a general court-
Inertial and court of investigation was to have
assembled at Newbridge Barracks on Thursday to investi-
gate matters connected with a complaint made by a soldier
of the 10th Hussars concerning rations. We are also in-
formed, though not officially, of several circumstances in
Connection with this investigation which require the earnest
Notice of the authorities, inasmuch as they tend to destroy
in the minds of the men ail respect for the administration
"justice, and all confidence in those charged with its ad-
ministration. Although the facts are before us we refrain
from entering into them, in the hope that the proceedings of
the court will have remedied the strange and unaccountable
errors, apparently committed in the preliminary stages of
etf.tir.—Ar»zy and Navy Gazette.
The Ordnance Select Committee now sitting
"tder the presidency of Captain Heath, R.N., C. 8.,
have taken a very practical mode of discovering the causes
°f the yielding cf the Shorneliff guns, have caused one of
the former, and several of the latter, which had failed in
telPeriments, to be cut open. The gun is one of those which
had been objected to on account of being t‘ lined," but it
.Was found that the line had remained sound and kept the
gun together, though the inner tube and outside coil, co-
vered by the trunnion, had separated more than half an
gen% This separation is, it is feared, going on in all the
Blightly eenla to be owing to the muzzle nip, which, by
the gun t"ting the shot when in rapid flight, tends to pull
