CONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The inTairy for monetary accommodation this
Morning in the general discount market is reported
as active, the transactions at 31 per cent. have been
only exceptional, the full rate of 4 per cent. being
charged for first class three months' paper. This
present firmness, it is supposed, will continue till
after the payment of the October dividends, by
Which time also the expenditure in connection with
the harvest iu the n9rthern districts will also have
Ceased, and a large amount of capital thus be thrown
upon the general market.
A further sum of £47,000 in gold was taken into
the Bank on Saturday.
The Rexburg h Castle, from:Alelbourne, has arrived
With £174,000.
From the manufacturing districts the accounts
for the past week continue satisfactory. Basin, as
at Manchester in both cloths and yarns remaintd
moderately active, while in the woollen districts'of
Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield there has been
rather less inquiry for winter goods. In the
hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and Not-
tingham there has been a steady business negotiated,
While in the hardware districts of Birmingham,
Sheffield, and Wolverhampton no material altera-
tion can be reported.

gram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were dull at 68f. 40c.
to 68f. 47c.

BusinEss has been resumed this morning in the
English Stock Market, but little activity is dis-
played. In fact, English are neglected for many
of the foreign descriptions, and, as a consequence,
Consols are quoted the same as on Friday. The
prices are 93f, k for money, and 93a- t for the ac-
count. The Reduced 3 per Cents. are 92k and
the New Threes, 928 ; Exchequer Bills continue at
par to 3s. prem.; India 5 per Cents., 1081 g ; and
the Bonds, 16s. to 20s. prem.

Several important alterations have taken place
in the Foreign market, and business is very
stave. Mexican have been as high as 471 I, but
they have since reacted to 461 47, or g above the
closing prices of Friday last. The Confederate
Loan has dropped 21 per cent., viz., to 28 26 die.
Turkish 6 per cents., 1858, have risen to 701 711;

Greek are 381 39; do. Coapons, 18-1 19; Spanish
Passive, 361 37 ; do. Certificates, 141 ; and Vene-
zuelan, 61 62.

In the Railway Share Market there has been
very little animation, and quotations generally
ahnw no change of importance. Great Northern,
Lancashire and Yorkshire, South Western, Midland,
and South Eastern, have receded ss; and Great
Western have advanced ss.

The Foreign and Colonial lines remain inactive
at about previous rates.
Bank awl Miscellaneou. shares continue to be

Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

Very strong Sales, about 15,000 bales, or more,
Large imports, but quantity not yet reported. Im•
ports previously, 570.

We are officially informed that a general court.
inertial and court of investigation was to have
assembled at Newbridge Barracks on Thursday to investi
gate matters connected with a complaint made by a soldier
of the 10th Hussars concerning rations. Wo are also in-
formed, though not officially, of several circumstances in
connection with this investigation which require the earnest
notice of the authorities, inasmuch as they tend to destroy
in the minds of the men all respect for the administration
of justice, and all confidence in those charged with its ad-
ministration, Although the facts are before us we refrain
from entering into them, in the hope that the proceedings of
the court will have remedied the strange and unaccountable
errors, apparently committed in the preliminary stages of
affair.—Army and .Navy Gazette.
The Ordnance Select Committee now sitting
under the presidency of Captain Heath, R.N., C. 8..
have taken a very practical mode of discovering the causes
of the yielding of the Shorncliff guns, have caused one of
the former, and several of the latter, which had failed in
experiments, to be cut open. The gun is one of those which
had been objected to on account of being " lined," but it
Was found that the line had remained sound and kept the
glut together, though the inner tube and outside coil, co.
vered by the trunnion, had separated more than half an
inch, This separation is, it is feared, going on in all the
2''B, and seems to be owing to the muzzle nip, which, by
the
ghtlY arresting the shot when in rapid flight, tends to pull
h eO4 °Pen longitudinally. In the 12-pounders this nip
Walk it removed by cutting a foot off the muzzle, and we
similar ~°4ld be well at once to treat the other guns in a
—latner,
