CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
There is a rather easier feeling in the money
tuaiket to-day, but the inquiry is well sustained.
A half-yearly dividend of 158., and a bonus of
608. per share, have been announced by the direc-
tors of the Alliance Marine Insurance Company,
Payable on and after the 12th inst.
The dividends on the shares of the Namur and
Liege, and Mons and Manage Railways, are adver-
tised for payment.
The business of Mr. C. F. Kemp, accountant,
will in future be conducted under the firm of C. F.
Xemp, Ford, and Co.
The biddings for 60,00,000 rupees in bills on
India took place yesterday at the Bank of Eng-
land. The proportions allotted were—to Calcutta,
35,90,000 rs.; to Bombay, 20,50,000; and to Ma-
dras, 3,60,000. The declared minimum price was
as before, Is. Hid. per rupee on Calcutta, and 2s.
on Bombay and Madras. The applications within
the limits were for 180 lees. Tenders on Calcutta
at ls. l l ed. will receive about 45 per cent., and
above that price in full; on Bombay all above
25., and on Madras all at and above 2s. will re-
ceive in full.

The prospectus has appeared of the British and
Foreign Marine Insurance Company, which is
largely supported by the Liverpool interest, requir-
ing a capital of £1,000,000, with power to increase
the amount to £2,000,000. The first issue is to
comprise £25,000 shares of £2O each. The direc-
tors, in support of their undertakiLg, refer to the
limited number of companies in Liverpool for effect-
log marine insurances ; they also state that more
than half the exports and imports of the kingdom
Pass through their port, and that there is no doubt
that another association, having its chief offices in
London and Liverpool, would meet with ample sup-
Port. The business of the company will be confined
to the issuing of policies on freight and goods only,
and it is expressly provided that no insurance shall
be effected zn the stips themselves. One important
feature in this company is the non-payment of pro-
viatica money.

ARREST FOR DEBT IN FRANCE.—An application
Wes
Made on Saturday to the Civil Tribunal, in the
tattle , „
di, °L 'I. A-11gustus de X-, at present a prisoner for
''-'t, de 'I
his release, in accordance with Art. 2,066
_of the Civil Code, which provides that no debtor can be im-
Plsoned after he reaches his 70th year. Documents were
P:odnced to prove that the applicant was born on the 28th
70` I)ecetuber, 1793, and that, consequently, he is now in his
opposed
ill r. The detaining creditors, two Belgian bankers,
the application, and their counsel argued that the
cant was not entitled to his lease till the completion of
b„e_. 70th year, which had but just commenced. The tri-
Al, however, adopted the more humane and liberal in-
tereleretation of the law, and ordered the prisoner's immediate
tftete,
