MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The continuous efflux of gold from the Bank
of England is imparting stringency to the genera)
money market, and 4 per cent. is now the quotation
for bills of three months' date. In exceptional cases
short-dated descriptions may be negotiated at 31
per cent., but capitalists are proceeding with more
reserve than for some time past.
The amount of specie taken out by the Delta,
which left to-day with the Bombay mails, was
£315,430, viz., £69,300 in gold to Alexandria,
and £17,300 in gold, and £228,830 in silver to
Bombay.
A call of £3 per share has been made by the
directors of the Union Bank of England and France,
payable on or before the 18th pros.
On the Ottoman Railway the traffic returns for
the week ending the 11th inst., were £212 on 481
miles against £l6l last year on 40 miles.

There is an increase of £1,121 in tha traffic
receipts of the Brighton Railway, and of .£1,289 on
the South-Eastern for the past week.

During the last few days there has been very
little animation in the Foreign and Colonial Pro-

duce Markets. A fair amount of business, however,
has been done in tea, at steady p' ices. Sugars have
been dull; while moderate dealings have been re-
ported in coffee, at full rates. Rice, fruit, and spices
have remained at about previous values. In the
tallow market there has been a good demand for
home consumption, and prices have shown an up-
ward tendency for both present and forward delivery.

Two O'CLOCK.

The market for the English Funds has shown
Increased depression, and a further decline ofd per
cent. has resulted from several sales on speculative
account. The principal disturbing cause is the
flow of gold from the Bank of England and the
prospect of its continuance, leading to an increase
in the value of money. Consols are 921 1 for money,
and 921 t for the account. The New Threes and
Reduced Annuities are heavy at 921 8 ; Exchequer
Bills are 3s. to 6s. prem. Business has taken place
in India Stock at 229 ; ditto 5 per Cents. 1081
ditto 5 per Cents. Enfaced at 1081 1 ; ditto 51 per
Cents. at 113,

A rather heavy tone has also pervaded the
Foreign Market, and a moderate amount of business
has been negotiated. Egyptian are heavy at 96/
971 ; do., 2d issue, at 96/ a ; Spanish Passive at
261 e ; do. Certificates at 10 ; Italian are
6911 ; do. Railway Loan is flat at 721; Mexican
Stock, 32t- a ; Peruvian New Loan, 871 88; Portu-
guese do., 46/ ; Russian do., 95-7; I; Sardinian Bonds
tare 81 ; Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854, 86 ; do., 1858,
70/ 71; do., 1862, 661 67 ; and the Consolides, 40/ /.
In the Railway Share Market there has been
rather less animation, and prices have, in most in-
stances, shown a slight downward movement.
Lancashire and Yorkshire and Metropolitans have
receded ss. ; and Great Easterns, Great Northerns,
London, Chatham, and Dover, North Westerns, and
IVlidlands, 10s. ; Great Westerns and South Easterns,
however, improved ss.
The Foreign and Colonial undertakings were
dull. South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian
receded to 23 ; East Indian to 1061 107 ; Great
Indian Peninsula to 1051106 ; and Scindes to 105/.
Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares were
in some instances a shade firmer. Bank of London
improved to 1031, and Crystal Palace Stock to 31/.

Yesterday, the clipper ship Eliza Bonsai], Capt.
Stalker, arrived at Liverpool, from Nassau, with about 1,600
bales of cotton. The cotton was brought, of course, to
Nassau, by the "blockade breakers."
THE MURDER AT NINE ELMS.—Yesterday even-
ing Mr. W. Carter, coroner for East Surrey, re-
sumed the investigation, at the Duke of Clarence Tavern,
Penton place, Walworth, into the circumstances of the
alleged brutal murder at Nine Elms. It will be recollected
that the deceased, Charles Champion, was seen in good
health on the night of the 27th ult., at a quarter-past seven
o'clock. At 20 minutes to eight he was found in Nine Elms-
lane, outside his master's stables, shockingly injured—his
nose smashed in and his spine broken. He died on the 6th
inst. in St. Thomas's Hospital, merely saying that it was
all about 6d., and that "Jim" knew of it. A man named
Hillier had been inquiring after deceased, and making
threats against him that day, and he is now in custody on
suspicion. Several witnesses were examined ; and after a
protracted inquiry, the jury returned a verdict "that the
deceased man died from the effects of mortal injuries, but
by whom the said injuries were inflicted there was no satis-
lactory proof."

FUNERAL OF THE MURDERED POLICEMAN AT
ACT ON.—The murder of potice-constable be William
Davy, 84 T, must be still vivid in the memory
ter
iolflin
oura
readers, it having taken place so recently a
week at Acton, and for which two men of the name
Brooks are now in custody on suspicion. Yesterday the
f
usually quiet little village of Acton was visited by an
im-
mense concourse of people from severalrniles around for the
purpose of witnessing the funeral of Davey. Then
t deceased,
it appears, was 40 years of age, and had been ihe force
twelve years. His good conduct had causeb him to be
greatly esteemed, especially by his brother constables,
who followed him to his grave. Besides the consta-
bles of the T division, a large number of the L divi-
sion attended, with their band, as well out of re-
spect to the deceased as to their late superintendent, Mr.
Beckerson (now appointed to the T division). About three
O'clock the constables were formed in procession " four
deep," and marched to the residence of the deceased, the
scene of the murder. It is a neat cottage, called Petherton
Villa, and is only a little way back from the main road,
After waiting a short time, the body was brought from the
house, borne on a bier by four of deceased's comrades; im-
mediately behind followed his bereaved widow, relatives,
and friends; abut 210 constables forming the rest of the
procession. Nine inspectors and 30 sergeants attended.
The word to move having been given, the L division band
went to the front, and began playing the " Dead March" in
Saul, which was continued along the route to Acton Church,
the procession being accompanied by throngs of people. Most
of the shops in the High-street were closed, and much sym-
pathy was expresseei. Upon arrivisg at Acton Church the
body was borne into the sacred edifi_e,and the burial service
having been read, the officiating minister made some most
impressive remarks on the melancholy event, which drew
tears from many eyes, especially from deceased's fellow-
Constables. After the interment the crowd dispersed.

A WELL DESERVED APPOINTMENT. it ish witht
much pleasure we have to announce the appoint-
ment of Mr. Charles Webb, one of the inspectors
division of police, to the post of superintendent of thee C
L
division. Mr. Webb, who has served upwards of 20 3 ears
in the police, was, it may be recollected, selected as one of
the inspectors to do duty at the International Exhibition
and gave the grea'est satisfaction nct only to the exhibitors
and others having business engagements there, but to the
large body of visitors; and his name will be remembered by
many of our foreign visitors on account of his courteous be-
haviour and the services he rendered them. In retiring
from the C division, and the St. James's and St. George's
district, Mr. Webb carries with him the good wishes of all;
and many of the inhabitants while expressing regret at his
removal from a district in which he has served so faithfully
and zealously, at the same time feel that he is removed to
a larger field of usefulness, and that the
possessing
ethoef
Lambeth may congratulate themselves on
porTioes of such an officer,
