COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CIY, TWELVE o'CLocK.
Continued quietude pervTades the general discount
market, and the rates remain unchanged.
The Ellora, from Alexandria, has brought £1,321 ;
the China, from New York, £79,800 ; the Bavaria,
also from America, with £16;990; and the
GiendoNier, from Melbourne, with £31,000.
The half-yearly meeting was held to-day of the
English, Scottish, and Australian Chartered Bank,
Mr. T. W. Watson in the chair. The report was
unanimously adopted, and the dividend, in accord-
ance with the recommendation of the directors, viz ,
at the rate of 6 per cent, per annum, free of income-
tax, was declared payable. In consequence of the
increasing business of the bank requiring further
capital, it was agreed to issue 5,000 new shares, of
£2O each, to be offered at par and pro rata to the
existing shareholders.

The accounts from the various manufacturing
districts for the past week have been generally of
a more satisfactory character. There has been a
More active inquiry for both cloths and yarns at
Manchester. The woollen trade of Leeds, Brad-
ford, and Huddersfield has exhibited symptoms of
improvement, consequent upon the demand for
winter goods. Business in the hosiery and lace
trades of Leicester and Nottingham has continued
moderately active, and a siight improvement has
been experienced in the hardware districts of Bir-
mingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton.

Speculation in the Market for the English Funds
continues quiet, but the recent sales have created
much depression.: Consols, after being 921, are now
only 953. for money and account, or the same as
at the close of business on Saturday. The New
Threes and Reduced Annuities are 92; 93i; Bank
Stock is quoted 234. Dealings have taken place
in India descriptions ; the 5 per Cent. Loan is 108 -I,
the Debentures are 100 k 4 ; and the Bonds
prem.

The Foreign Market presents a very depressed
appearance, and a general fall has taken place in
values, but the chief drop has been in the Confede-
rate Loan, which is now 9 to 8 discount, owing to
the news brought by the China. Turkish 6 per

The operations in the Railway Snare Market have
been very restricted, and the few dealings recorded
are at slightly reduced rates. Great Western and
South-Eastern have receded 58. ; and Great Eastern,
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and North
Eastern (Berwick), 10s.
The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without
any material change in value.

iverpool Cotton Market—This Day.

(RETJTER'S TELEGRAM.)
Very animated, at advancing ratee. Sales will
probably foot up ro 10,000 bales.

A St. Petersburg letter in the Cologne says :
"By an order of the dsy, Prince Nicholas of
Oldenburg, a relation of the Emperor Alexander,
to whom he is aide-de-camp, and colonel of a
regiment of dragoons, has been removed from active
service, from illness. The Prince is, however, in
excellent health, and is now in Germany with his young
wife. His recent secret marriage with a Russian lady
named Bularel has greatly irritated the Imperial family of
Russia, and led to the withdrawal of his command,"
Tne Ceurrier de la Drome announces that the
harvest is finished in the plains of La Valloire, and that the
crop is most satisfactory both as regards quantity and qua-
lity. The hay crop is also good, but the artificial grasses
are suffering for want of rain. Symptoms of oidum have
appeared in some vineyards, but not to any great extent.,

The Academy or Inscriptions and Belles Lettres,
in its last sitting, awarded a prize to M. Felix Robiou, pro-
fessor of history at Napoleonville, for his essay on the in-
vasion of the Gauls in the East, and the history of their
settlements in Asia Minor, under the name of Galatians.
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN AMERICA.
" Manhattan" says :—The Catholic Church in all parts of
the United Sta es will go into mourning on account of the
death of Archbishop Kenrick, of Baltimore diocese. That
is the oldest in the -Union, and the highest in rank,
although that of Archbishop Hughes is ten times more im-
portant. The latter should be made a cardinal.
THE ANGLO-CHINESE FLEET.—We hear that the
undermentioned of his imperial Majesty's ships of
the Anglo-Chinese squadron, under Commodore Sherard
Osborn, C. 8., had arrived at the Cape, and were lying there
at the dates undermentioned; Pekin, Captain Burgoyne,
June 12; Amoy, Captain Nicolas, May 27 ; China,
Commander Neel Osborn, May 25. The Kwang-tung,
Captain Allen Young, was at Ascension on the 24th ult.—

CLIFTON SUSPENSION BRIDGE.--The temporary
bridge continues an object of great attraction to
large numbers of visitors from all parts of the kingdom.
During the pas: week the workmen have been engaged in
raising the heavy masses of iron which the saddleplaters,
girders, &c., are constructed, and painting aad preparing
the links for the permanent bridge. Some of the anchorage
Plates have arrived from the works of the contractors,
Alesers. Cochrane, of Dudley. They weigh neacty three
tons each, and there will be three of them to each set of
chains. These plates will be firmly imbedded in the rock at
the bottom of the anchorage shifts. All this portion of the
work, on which the men are now engaged, results in
Scarcely any perceptible progress, the greater part of it
being carried on underground.
