IVIO NE Y MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

There is a rather easier feeling in the money
market to-day, but the inquiry is well sustained.
A half-yearly dividend of 165., and a bonus of
60s. 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.
Kemp, 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 Calcatta,
35,90,000 rs. ; to Bombay, 20,50,000; and to Ma-
dras, 3,60,000. The declared minimum price was
as before, ls. 111-d. per rupee on Calcutta, and 2s.
on Bombay and Madras. The applications within
the limits were for 180 lacs. 'fenders on Calcutta
at ls. Hid. 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 unde:takir.g, refer to the
limited number of companies in Liverpool for effect-
ing 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 cn the slips themselves. One important
feature in this company is the non-payment of pro-
motion money.

Two O'CLOCK.

Before the close of business yesterday afternoon
the Funds, which had been a shade flatter in conse-
quence of sales to realise profits, recovered, and the
early transactions this morning took place at the
full advance, Consols being 931 for transfer, and
93i 1 for the 10th of February. At the present
moment, however, quotations are 931 and 931
respectively, showing, therefore, a little less buoy-
ancy. The market, upon the whole, pre-
sents a very favourable appearance, and the
transactions indicate an increase of business.
The New Threes and the Reduced Annuities are
939 ; Exchequer Bills have been dealt in at Bs.
to 12s. prem. ; India 6 per Cents. are marked 108 i ;
and the 4 per Cent. Enfaced Paper, 96.

A rather buoyant tone has been perceptible in
the Foreign Market, although the transactions
have continued on a moderate scale. Turkish 6 per
Cents., 1858, are firm at 71 ; do., 1862, steady at
67s 68k; and the Consolides 391. 40; Greek have
improved to 164 ; the Coupons are steady at 61;
Mexican Stock is 314 ; Peruvian New Loan, 891;
Russian 1862, 964-; Spanish Deferred 461; do.,
passive 24-1 it; and the Certificates are firm at
; Italian have improved to 701 1.
In the Railway Share Market tne dealings were
more animated, and prices have shown an upward
movement. Caledonian, Great Western, Lanca-
shire and Yorkshire, North-Eastern (Berwick), and
South-Eastern improved ss. ; Midland, 10s. ; and
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, El 10s.; Great
Northern and North Western, however, declined ss.

The Foreign and Colonial lines were in some
instances a shade firmer. Bahia and San Francisco
improved to 211 ; Sambre and Meuse to 108 1 ;
Recife and San Francisco declined to 18;1 and
South-Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian to 232-, ;
East Indian are firm at 108 ; and Great Indian

nerally support previous quotations.

ARREST FOR DEBT IN FRANCE.---An application
\vas made on Saturday to the Civil Tribunal, in the
name of M. Augustus de X-, at present a prisoner for
debt, demanding his release, in accordance with Art. 2,066
of the Civil Code, which provides that no debtor can be im-
prisoned after he reaches his 70th year. Documents were
produced to prove that the applicant was torn on the 28th
of December 1793, and that, consequently, he is now in his
10th year. The detaining creditors, two Belgian bankers,
apposed the application, and their counsel argued that the
at!peiicoatahtywz,not entitled to his lease till the completion of
tri-
bunal, which had but just commenced. The tri-
"ever, adopted the more humane and liberal in-
terpretation of the law, and ordered the prisoner's immediate
release.
Tile Temps announces that it has just received
froth a lady and gentleman, who wish their subscription to
be.!ntered under the designation of " Anonymous," a sum
0
6,000 f. for the relief of the operatives of the Seine-Infe-
rietu.e.

r. Paul Morpb y, the celebrated American
chess-Player, has been for some days in Paris. He has not,
however, called at the Cafe de la Regence, and gives no in-
timation of any design to play. As Kolisch is also in Paris,
4°1329 games between them would excite much interegt.
