MONEY MARKET

AN D
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The inqairy for monetary accommodation this
Morning in the general discount market is reported
as active, the transactions at 31 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
Ceased, 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, from'Melbourne, has arrived
With £174,000.
From the manufacturing districts the accounts
for the past week continue satisfactory. Busint ss
at Manchester in both cloths and yarns remain, d
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, and 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 681. 47c.

BUSiDESS has been resumed this morning in the
English Stock Market, but 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 2 for money, and 938 for the ac-
count. The Reduced 3 per Cents. are 921 L and
the New Threes, 9217 ; 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 471 but
they have since reacted to 46f 47, or g above the
...closing prices of Friday last. The Confederate
Loan has dropped 21 per cent., viz., to 28 26 die.
Turkish 6 per cents., 1858, have risen to 70i 711;
do. 1862, to 711 72 ; do. Consolides, to 54i 55.
Greek are 381 39 ; do. Coapons, 181 19; Spanish
Passive, 36* 37; do. Certificates, 141 4 ; and Vene-
zuelan 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 58.
The Foreign and Colonial lines remain inactive
at about previous rates.
Bank and Miscellaneous shares continue to be
dealt in to a fair extent, and prices have generally
shown an upward movement.

Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day.

(REUTER'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-
taartial 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 aro 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 all respect for the administration
of 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
affair.—.Araly and avy Gazette.
The Ordnance Select Committee now sitting
under the presidency of Captain Heath, RN., C. 8.,
have taken a very practical mode of discovering the causes
of the yielding of the Shorncliff guns, have caused one of
the former, and several of the latter, which had failed in
experiments, to be cut open. The gun is one of those which
had been objected to on account of being " lined," but it
was found that the line had remained sound and kept the
gun together, though the inner tube and outside coil, co •
liie_r,e4 by the trunnion, had separated more than half an
