IVT ONE Y MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

An active demand for money during the past
few days has not at all abated, and but few first-
class bills are consequently negotiated under the
Bank of England minimum, viz., 4 per cent. This
inquiry will, no doubt, be maintained for another
fortnight, when the Government dividends for July
Will be paid, which will considerably add to the
resources at the disposal of bankers and discounters,
A further sum of £5,000 in gold. was purchased
by the Bank authorities yesterday.

The Maraman has arrived from Melbourne with
£201,328.
The Committee of the Stock Exchange have
appointed Thursday next for a special settlement
in the shares of the Indian Tea Company of
Cachai, which are not to be marked ; and Thurs-
day, the 2d proximo, in the (general Credit end
Finance Company, dealings in which are to be
officially recorded.
During the last few days there has not been much
animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets. Sugar has in some instances been rather
cheaper. Coffee, rice, and cocoa have remained at
about pre•nious quotations, while saltpetre has been
dull. In the tallow market the operations for both
present a.nd forward delivery have been on a very
limited scale, consequent upon the progrea of poli-
tical events in Poland.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris, this morning, according to Mr. B,euter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were
inanimate at 68f. 62c. _

A further decline of k per cent. has taken place
to-day is the English Funds, owing to renewed
sales on speculative account, and the unfavourable
feeling relative to the Polish question. Consols are
911 i for transfer, and 91i 92 for the 9th proximo.

DESOLATION IN MISSISSIPPI.—A correspondent
(If the Cincinnati Enquirer writes from Young's
Ileint;—" The whole country from Milliken's Bend to Hard
tines, opposite Grand Gulf, a distance of 60 miles, is one
°abomination of desolation.' It has been an earthly pare-
dtse ; lordly palaces filled with pictures, statues, and articles
of vertu; beautiful gardens, teeming with floral beauties,
etc now all laid waste. In those magnificent halls where
southern beauty and chivalry were wont to revel, soldiers
Cook their despised sow belly' with fires built out of rose-
Wood chairs and curiously carved furniture, sleep on cotton
beds worth. 50 dole. each, and in the morning abandon all
to the horde of 50 hungry negroes, who follow the army and
gather its refuse, like troops of unclean birds which smell
the carcass from afar. Among these rich nabobs none ex-
celled the Hon. John Perkins. His dwelling is magnificent
trren in its ruins, and his gardens are still fragrant wit h
:acres of roses. When General Butler entered New Orleans
he chartered the Magnolia, one of the largest boats on the
river, put his most valuable slaves, pictures, plate, cattle,
&c., on board, and set fire to the rest. Far seven miles his
lands blazed with 5,000 bales of burning cotton and grana-
ries of corn. His house, with furniture which cost 200,000
dela in Paris, and the houses of his overseers, all were
fii'WJ, while he stood on the bank and watched the mighty
conflagration. In the morning he embarked a ruined man.
I had never dreamed of such Arabian magnificence as I find
bl the ruins of the houses of these rich planters. in one
'garden I found no less than 700 different varieties of roses
This is, I believe, the largest collection in America. There
are no more than three in Europe that equal it."
Mendelssohn'e " Hymn of Praise," and Rossini's
at.abat Mater," will be performed at Exeter-hall, to-
morrow by the National Choral Society, under the direc-
tion of Mr. G. W. Martin, with band and chorus of 700
Pf dormers, and the following principal singers—Mesdames
arepa, Alboni, Messrs. Sims Reeves and Lewis Thomas.
BANKRUPI:CY.—A return issued yesterday from
the accountant in bankruptcy states that the re-
venue prior to 11th October, 1861, was £83,201, and the
expenditure £63,675 ; that the receipts from 12th October
to 31st December (same year) were £2l 027, and the outlay
417,584. The total revenue for 1862 was £124,542, and
the expenditure £119,750. The total amount received by
tilo Bank of England on account of the accountant in bank-
ruptcy in 1861 was £1,353,080, and the amount paid
1,246,961, while in the year 1862 £792,922 were received,
and £937,316 paid.
ENCLOSURES.—The Enclosures Bill, No. 2, which
is Passing through Parliament, sanctions 21 more enclo-
eures, together extending to 36,653 acres. The largest is
l'ilatinewi-brefi mountain, or sheep walk, in Cardiganshire,
17,278 acres. The Enclosure Commissioners have reported
SS to most of these enclosures either that the land is un-
viitqlele for allotments or that they are unnecessary, but
about 20 acres are to be allotted for exercise and recreation,
ftuci 39 for cottager!? gardens.

SERVILE REPLY OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS TO
KING GEORGE 111,, ON HIS ACCESSION.—" What
a lustre does it cast upon the name of Briton when you,
Sir, are pleased to esteem it among your glories." Strange
language for a powerful aristocracy in a free country, still
reckoning Howard, Bei keley, Somerset, Nevile, Seymour,
Cavendish, Stanley among its technically noble ; Bagot,
Harcourt, Wrottesley, Deting, Shirley, Courtenay among
its unennobled members 1 Stranger still, for the country-
men of Shakespeare and Hampden, of Raleigh, Blake, and
Marlborough, of Edward the Third, Elizabeth and. Cro-
mwell, to
use to an ignorant, dishonest, obstinate, narrow-
minded boy, at that very moment the tool of an adulteress
and her paramour I—Phillimore's newly published vol. I, of'
