COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE o'CLocE.
A quieter demand is reported in discount circles,
and the rates are a little easier.

The St. Andrew from Quebec has brought £5,400.
The accounts from the manufacturing districts
for the past week have generally been more satis-
factory. There has been an active demand for both
cloths and yarns at Manchester, without, however,
any change in prices. The woollen trade of Leeds,
Bradford, and Huddersfield has continued to show
increased animation, while a seasonable business
has been done in most descriptions of lace and
hosiery of Nottingham and Leicester. In the hard-
ware districts, viz., at Birminght.m, Sheffield, and
Wolverhampton there is no particular change to
report. _ _

The prospectus has appeared of the New Mans-
feld Copper and Silver Mining Company, with a
capital of £lOO,OOO, in LlO shares. It appears that
the directors have obtained the Mathilde mines,
containing about 1,200 statute acres, in the Harz
Mountains. The geological formation of the pro-
perty is precisely the same as the old Mansfeld,
which has been worked so extensively and profitably
for the laat 100 years, and the yield of which at
present is about £B,OOO in silver and £16,000 in
copper per week. The formation differs entirely
from ordinary mines, being an actual deposit of
copper schist, and it is known to exist only in the
Mansfeld districts, at the foot of the Harz Moun-
tains, and New Brunswick, in British America.
The existence of this mineral deposit in the New
Mansfeld decline has been proved by competent
engineers, who report very favourably regarding
the prospects of the company.
The directors of the Port Phillip and Colonial
Gold Mining Company have received, by telegram,
from Malta, the following advices in anticipation
of the Australian mail, from their resident director,
Mr. Bland, at Melbourne, giving the result of the
month of April last : Quantity of quartz crushed,
3,210 tons; yield per ton, gold, 12 dwts. Receipts,
£3,240; payments, £1,550; profit, £1,690; Re-
mittance, £2,000.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were
heavy at 68f. 55c.

Very little business has been transacted today in
the market for the English Funds, and the quota-
tions have continued very firm, owing to harvest
prospects, the tendency of the rates of discount,
and other favourable considerations. Consols for
transfer have been maintained at 921 a_ for transfer,
and at 92a t for the account.

There hae been a downward movement in several
of the principal Foreign Securities, and business is
less active. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, have receded
to 67} 4; do. Consolides to 50i t; Mexican to 371-1;
Greek to 35-a -S- ; do. Coupons to 16:- e ; Spanish
Passive are 33,1 ; do. Certificates, 12t e ; and the
Confederate Loan has declined to I dis. 4 prem.
The dealings in the Railway Share Market
have been very limited; in some instances, how-
ever, there has been a slight improvement. Lancs.-
shire and Yorkshire, North Eastern (Berwick),
and South Easterns have improved 55., and Great
Northern 10s.

The Foreign and Colonial undertakings show
no change of importance as regards prices.
Bank and Miscellaneous Snares are dull, but
exhibit little variation in value. International
Financial shares are 5 51 prem. ; London Financial
ditto, 11 la prem.; Egyptian Trading Company,
1 18 prem. ; Hudson's Bay Company, -7 -a prem. ;
and General Credit Company, 1 1S prem.:
