AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The discount market continues in a stationary
position, with a good supply of money, a tolerably
active demand, and much uncertainty with regard
to the future course of events. Inquiries continue
to be made at the Bank of England for the pur-
pose of ascertaining whether the minimum has been
altered ; but a better feeling now appears to pre-
Tail, because the overflow of gold seems to have re-
ceived a check, and there are other symptoms
Which, if further developed, will remove the
anxiety lately manifested.
buring the last few days there has not been
mush animation in the Foreign and Colonial Pro-
duce markets. Sugars, however, have fully sus-
tained late prices ; tea has been at steady rates;
while coffee, rice, and saltpetre have each slightly
declined. In the tallow market there has been very
little change, owing to an absence of speculative
business—quotations for both present and forward
delivery showing steadiness.
The Stock Exchange Committee have appointed
Thursday next a special settling day in the shares
of the following companies :—East London Bank
(Limited), to be marked ; Dartford Creek Paper
Mill Company (Limited), and New Mansfield Cop-
per and Silver Mining Company (Limited), not to be
marked. The committee have also ordered the
shares of the London and Lancashire Fire Insurance
Company to be marked in the twice a week list ; all
bargains to be arranged on the ordinary settling
days.

Two O'.
At the Paris Bourse this day, accordingCLOCK to Mr.
Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes
Were 67f. 20c.

The proprietors of the London Dock Company
held a special meeting to-day, to consider the pro-
position for amalgamating their undertaking with
the St. Katharine Dock and Victoria Dock Com-
Panies—Mr, Charles John Manning in the chair.
The arrangements, which were carried nem. con.,
were to the effect that the amalgamated companies
be entitled the London and St. Katharine Dock
Company ; that the shareholders of the London
and St. Katharine companies be admitted to
the new company upon equal terms; that
the capital consist of the aggregate amount
of the capital stocks of the two companies, that the
liabilities of the two companies be assumed by the
amalgamated one, and that it be governed in the
first instance by a board of directors of the two
companies. The arrangement to be made with the
Victoria Dock Company were that the lessees
agreed to sell their docks, lands, &c., for £1,600,000,
to be paid in 4 per Cent. Debenture Stock of the
amalgamated company, producing £42,500 per
annum, the interest commencing from the Ist
January, 1865. The terms were fully accepted,
and authority given to apply to Parliament for the
necessary powers.
Little, it any, increase of business can be reported
in the market for the English Fonds, which for the
moment attract only a limited share of public at-
tention either as a medium for speculation or in.
!estment. A few sales or purchases are sufficient to
influence the tendency of prices, and this morning,
On the appearance of vendors, indications of heavi-
ness became perceptible, although the amount of
Stock disposed of was small, and quotations were
slightly depressed, Consols being 921 1 for money,
and, 1, less the dividend, for the account. The
New Throes and Reduced Annuities are flat at
9°l; ill; Exchequer Bills were Bs. to 3s. dis; India 6
Per Cents., 1088 ; do. 4 per Cents., 1001; Bank
Stock is 235 237.
There is very little actual business doing in the
Foreign Market, the settlement of the account
engaging chief attention, and the tendency of prices
In generally in an adverse direction. Turkish 6
Per Cents.,lB62, are 701 ; do., Consolides 471 48 ;
Mexican, 381 I."; Greek, 301 ; do., Coupons, 14i

and the Confederate Loan, 59 61.
In the
Railway Share Market the operation have
Northof a very limited description. North Eastern,
North Western, and South Eastern have declined
and Metropolitan £2, while Lancashire and
orkshire, and North Eastern (Berwick) have im-
proved 58.

The Foreign and Colonial undertakings continue
very inactive, at barely previous quotations.
Bank Shares in some instances also show less firm-
nes% Imperial Ottoman have declined to 17 i ;
Union of Australia to 57; ; Alliance of London and
Liverpool to 46,1.

In the Miscellaneous Market General Credit
Shares are dealt in at 71 ; International Financial
at 9i 10; Swedish Bank Shares are quoted 4 to 4
prem. ; National Shipping, 4/ to 6 prem.; and East
London, 3 to 3,1 prem.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Prussia,
attended by Colonel Schwenitz, reached Dover yes-
terday from Prussia, o❑ his way to Windsor Castle,
having crossed from Calais in the mail-steamer Sam-
phire, leaving that port at 2 p.m. and arriving at
Dover about 4 p.m. On landing his royal highness
was met by the Hon. Col. Ponsonby, one of her Ma-
jesty's equerries, who had arrived at Dover to receive
his royal highness. The military and naval autho-
rities were likewise in attendance, together with the
Prussian Vice-Consul, Mr. S. M. Latham. A guard
of honour of the 78th Highlanders, with band and
colours, under the command of Col. Ewart, C,8.,
lined the quay; and, on his royal highness stepping
on shore, the National Anthem was played, while a
royal salute was 6ischarged from the castle bat-
teries. There was a large number of spectators,
who greeted the prince very respectfully, and his
royal highness graciously acknowledged these salu
tations.
After a short stay for luncheon at Birmingham's
Lord Warden Hotel the Crown Prince, attended by
Col. Ponsonby and suite, left for London-bridge at
4.35 p.m. by the South-Eastern Company's mail
train, travelling in ono of the railway company's
royal saloon carriages. A guard of honour of the
59th Regiment lined the passage from the Lord
Warden Hotel to the railway station. Mr. Way,
the superintendent at Dover, who had made every
arrangement for the reception of his royal highness,
travelled in the train to London-bridge, which was
reached at 6.35 p.m.
Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess of
Prussia, attended by the Countess Hohenthal and
Count Furstenstein, arrived at the London-bridge
Station shortly atter six, and waited the arrival of
the train. After a greeting between their royal
highnesses the royal party left for Waterloo Sta-
tion, and thence by special train for Windsor, ar-
riving there at about 7.40 p.m.
Mr. Eborall, the general manager of the South-
Eastern Company, and Mr. Knight, the superin-
tendent, received their royal highnesses at the Lon-
don-bridge Station.
Their royal highnesses both appeared in excellent
health, and received manifestations of loyal welcome
from the few persons who were aware of their pre-
sence.

Visit of Prince Alfred to Dalkeith Palace,
On Saturday morning his Royal Highness Prince
Alfred, his Grand Ducal Highness Prince William
of Hesse and suite, and his Serene Highness Prince
Frederick of Holstein and his son Prince William,
left Holyrood Palace for Dalkeith Palace, on a visit
to the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch. The royal
party arrived at Dalkeith Palace shortly before 11
o'clock, and were received by the Duke and Duchess
of Buccleuch, the Ladies Victoria, Margaret, and
Mary Scott, the Countess Dowager of Morton, Lady
Alice Douglas, Lieut.-Colonel and Lady Harriet
Fletcher, Lady Archibald Hope, Lady Georgina
Balfour of Balbirnie, Lord John Scott, Lord Henry
Scott, Lord Charles Scott, Sir Archibald Hope, and
Mr. Balfour of Balbirnie. The royal party were
then conducted through the entrance-hall, where
stands a colossal marble statue of the late Duke of
Wellington, executed by Campbell, to the break-
fast room, where they took breakfast.
After breakfast the royal party were conducted
to the drawing•room and gallery, in which apart-
ment, in 1842, her Majesty held her first
Drawing-room. The dining room was next
visited, where were shown a magnificent silver
centre-piece, weighing 3,000 ounces, designed
by Cotterell in 1829, round the base of which are
several beautiful figures in relief, representing the
origin of the Buccleuch family, so graphically de-
scribed by Sir Walter Scott; an immense silver
punch-bowl, which was in the possession of Queen
Anne; E. gilt ur❑ and ewer, presented by William
