COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE o'CLocK.
The transactions in the money market to-day are
rigt very numerous, but although the available re-
sources of bankers and others are abundant, the
rates are very well maintained.
A call of £2 per share becomes due to-morrow,
the 12th inst., on the shares of the Great Indian
Peninsula Railway New Shares.
The quarterly sales of indigo commenced yester-
day, and consisted of 7,657 chests. There was a
moderate attendance, but the biddings were ex-
tremely dull, wad of 2,852 chests which passed° ply
398 sold, at pices ranging from 2d. to ls. per lb.
below those realised at the last sale.

The Spanish Finance Comm•ssion have notified

Active encouragement :s still given to new joint
stock enterprise, and it is satisfactory to fled that
most of the companies brought under the notice of
the investing classes are of a bona fide character,
Some of them, no doubt, will fail to realise the
expectations set forth in the prospectus ; out,
taken as a whole, the class of projects seeking sup-
port are such as to commend themselves to parties
desirous of obtaining a remunerative channel
for the employment of their surplus means. There
are, it appears, many other undertakings in course
of organization, and it is not improbable that a few
of the continental Governments will shortly appear
in this market as borrowers. No definite informa-
tion has yet transpired upon the subject, but nego-
tiations are in progress which render it very proba-
bable that some small financial operations will be
speedily announced.
Speculation in the market for the English Funds
continues quiet, the operators being still disinclined
to enter into extensive engagements either for a
vise or fall. The abundance of money and the
easier tendency of the rates of discount, however,
give support to quotations, and Consols, after a
slight depreciation, are now firm at 921 for transfer,
and 92i for the account. The New Three per
Cents. are fiat at 94 I, and the Reduced at 928 ;
Exchequer Bills remain at ls. dis. to 3s. pm.; Bank
Stock is 237 and 2381 ; and India 5 per Cent. Loan

Business in the Foreign Market has been moder-
ately active, and prices have shown very little
change. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1554, are steady
at 89 90 ; do., 1858, 721 a ; do., 1862, 68 1; and
the Consohdes, 401 41*. Mexican is 321 ; Per-
uvian New Loan, 87i 88 ; Portuguese do., 47 ;
Russian do., 031 94 ; Spanish Passive are 26 ;
ditto Certificates 94 10 ; Italian, 70-1 1; and Vene-
zuelan New Loan, 601 ; Greek are 191 11; and
the Coupons, 81.
The dealings in the Railway Share Market con-
tinue moderately active, and prices in several
instances have shown an upward movement. Bristol
and Exetet have advanced £1 ; MetropolitaL £1 ss;
Great Western and South Eastern 103.; and South
Western 55.; Great Northern, however, have de-
clined ss. ; and London and Brighton 10s.
The Foreign and Colonial lines have remained
inactive. Bahia and San Francisco realise 201;
East Indian 1061 1061; Great Indian Peninsula,
105 to 1051; and Madras 5 per Cents. 103i1.
Joint-stock Bank and Miscellaneous Snares are
dull, but Ottoman Bank are largely dealt in at en-
hanced prices, being marked 391 401, and the New

An ingenious piece of Afghan practice for re-
ducing a dislocation of the thigh.—The patient is
first kept in a dark room for three days, heated by fires in-
cessantly burning, and fed with copious draughts of thin
gruel. A fat bullock is at the same time fed with chopped
straw, flavoured with salt, and denied a drop of water.
At the end of the third day, the patient is made
to ride on the back of the bullock, his legs being
fastened tightly under its belly by cords round the
ancles. The beast is then led out to drink. lie is natu-
rally inten ely thirsty-, drinks copiously, and swells out
visibly to twice his former size. The force exerted on tf
dislccated limb is ufficient to bring it back to the socket
The dislocated shoulder is treated in a similar way; the
band is tied s lose to the oppr site shoulder, an empty water-
bag is placed in the bend of the arm, and gradually filed ;
its weight overcomes the resistance of the muscle, and be-
fore long the bone flies back into the socket with the usual
sound.--London _Review.
GAINSBOROUGU:S BLUNTNESS AND GOLDSMITH'S
GAUCHERIE.—When Gainsborough drew the por-
trait of the celebrated Earl of Shelburne, his lordship com-
plained that it was not like. The painter said he did
not approve it either, and begge, to try again.

Sir James Graham's father was full of anecdotes
of Archdeacon Paley, and loved to tell how he dis-
enchanted Mr. Howard, when fishing one day at Corby,
who had asked him it the quiet of the wooded glen through
which the Eden flows was not propitious to high philoso-
phic thoughts, by replying, "Nay, nay, with rod in hand
I think of nothing but the salmon." Another story never
failed in its recital to excite the merry little baronet's
laughter. Some one, praising the conjugal peace enjoyed
by a gentleman in the neighbourhood, who had not had even
an argument with his wife for more than 30 years, appealed
to Paley whether it were not admirable as a domestic ex-
ample. "No doubt," said the doctor, "it is verra praise-
worthy, but it must have been Terra dovi."

HORACE VERNET'S PORTRAITURE.—Horace Ver-
net would have been a valuable detective draughts-
man; if ho once had a good look at a man, he could from
memory produce a striking likeness. It was a happy knack
he had, and sometimes an unfortunate knack, for, unconsci-
ously he would associate certain people's features with par-
ticular acts. If he represented in one battle-piece a soldier
flying with fear and terror expressed on his countenance,
his crayon would, in spite of himself, trace the familiar
features of some well-known personage who had distin-
guished himself by a lack of pluck ; and in one of his grand
pictures, wishing tors prasent a rapacious, graspinglrraelite,
he drew the features of a contemporary, whom many will
recognise at the first glance. I have said this was some-
times an unfortunate knack, because it has occasionally got
hina into trouble,--.Dickens's ".41l the roar Retim,,,
