AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Star and Garter Hotel Company, Richmond,
Surrey, announces that no further application for
shares will be received after to-morrow, nearly the
-whole of the capital, £120,000, having been realised.
The directors are cery sanguine that the company
'wilt be a decided success from a commercial point
of view, and from the antecedents of the Star and
Garter, with its European reputation, added to its
most eligible situation, there can be but little
doubt that the investment is not only a safe one,
but will yield a fair rate of dividend.
The weekly returns published by the Bank of
England authorities to Wednesday last, contains
13,)me very important alterations. An increase of
nearly £3,000,000 is shown in the other securities,
'which is owing to the very large discount business
transacted there during the past week. The bul-
lion and reserve of notes show a considerable falling,
notwithstanding the almost daily influx of gold.
This diminution, however, must in a great measure
be attributed to the continued absorption of coin
throughout the country both for trading and agri-
cultural purposes. Subjoined are the particulars :

In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
daring the last few days dealings have been of a
limited character in most of the principal staples.
Tea, sugar, and cocoa, have remained at about
previous prices. Coffee, however, has been at rather
lower rates. Rice has continued in fair request, at
full quotations, but in the tallow market a down-
ward movement has been perceptible in values for
both present and forward delivery.

with £lO,OOO received in premiums on the second
issue of shares (in all £10,100) be carried to a re-
serve fund, and that the balance of £3O 10s. bo car-
ried forward to profit and loss new account.

The Scotia, from New York, has arrived with
£79,000.

The English Stock Market is dull and depressed,
and Consols, which left off yesterday at 93Z 1 for
money, and at 931 Z for the account, have receded
to 93.1 !, and 93Z 1, respectively. A few sales have
produced this retrograde movement. The New
