ONE Y MARKET! SHARE MARKETS—This day.

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

There is a fair demand for money in the general
discount market, but the rates continue easy, 3
per cent. being the usual rate for first class three
months' bills.

About £9,000 in gold was taken into the Bank
yesterday.

The Bank of England return, as expected, shows
an important improvement in the principal items.
There were many who considered that the directors
should have reduced their minimum yesterday after-
noon, but although the bullion and reserve of notes
have been increased, and the other securities have
fallen off, there are, no doubt, sufficient reasons
for the course pursued. Annexed is our usual
analysis :

During the last few days there has been rather
more activity in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets. Tea, however, has been inactive, owing
to the large quantity announced for public compe-
tition to-day and the uncertainty felt with regard
to the alteration in the duty. Sugars have been
rather largely dealt in at enhanced prices, while
coffee fully sustained previous quotations. Rice,
fruit, and spices were without material alteration,
and tallow continued inactive for both present and
forward delivery, being quoted 425. 9d. to 435. on
the spot, and 455. fid. to 45a. 9d. for last three
months.

Iteuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were

There has been no change in the English Stock
Market this morning, Consols having remained at
921 1. for money, and 921 93 for the account.

ducted on a limited scale, but prices are well sup-
ported by the favourable budget and the easiness
of money. The New Threes and Reduced are

dull, and in some instances prices have slightly
given way. Great Easterns, London and Black-
wall, and London and Brighton have receded 55.;
while North Westerns, Midlands, and South
Easterns improved ss.
The Foreign and Colonial lines exhibit no change
of importance.

KEATS'S GRAVE AT ROME.—The number of the
Atlantic Monthly for April contains, under the title
of " On the Vicissitudes of Moat's Fame," some interesting
recollections of Keats's last hours, and of conversations
about Keats, after his death, with Samuel Rogers, Sir
Walter Scott, and others, written by the artist, Mr. Severn,
the well-known friend of Keats, who tended him at Rome
on his death-bed, and whose portrait of Keats is the
authentic likeness. Mr. Severn, who returned to
Rome after an absence of 20 years in 1861, and
is now residing there, has sent these recollections
to the American periodical. The following pas-
sage about the present state of Keats's grave at Rome will
interest hero, as well as in America :—" That grave, which
I can remember as once the object of ridicule, has now be-
come the poetic shrine of the world's pilgrims who care and
strive to live in the happy and imaginative region of
poetry. The head-stone, having twice sunk, owing to
its faulty foundation, hae been twice renewed by loving
strangers ; and, each time, as I am informed, these strangers
were Americans. Here they do not strew flowers, as was
the wont of olden times, but they pluck everything that
is green and living on the grave of the poet. The
Custode tel a me that, notwithstanding all his pains in sow-
ng and planting, he cannot meet the great consumption.
Latterly an English lady, alarmed at the rapid disappear-
ance of the verdure on and around the grave, actually left
an annual Eum to renew it. ' Mr. Severn adds that he is
now engaged on a picture of the poet's grave, inowhich he
is introducing suggestions and associations f dymion.' He tells us also that he has recently

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—A very singulbr case of
attempted suicide occurred at Nottingham on Wed-
nosday evening last. Between 10 end 11 o'clock rfa the
above evening a police-officer was standing near the General
hospital when a man, with clothes dripping wet, and with-
out a hat, came up to him and asked him the way to the
Infirmary. The officer conducted him to that establishment,
and on the way the man, who had a largo black beard, sud-
denlyl, stood still before a gas lamp and exclaimed, " Look
'"°." There was a gaping wound in the throat, from
:which the blood flowed freely. The officer asked him who
had done it, and he coolly repliec, " I did it myself." He
