ONE Y MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

During the last few days an extra demand fir
money has been experienced in discount circles.
This increase is attributed to the liquidation of bills
falling due to-day—the 4th of the month—and to
the wants of agriculturists, whose busy season is
now commencing, and to the extension of orders in
the manufacturing districts. The rates remain firm
at 3i 4 per cent.

The bullion operations at the Bank yesterday
comprised the influx of £15,600 in bar gold.
The Chili, from New Zealand has brought
£120,000.

Intelligence was received here last evening stat-
ing that Messrs. Dye, Ogareff, and Co., carrying
on an extensive businessin the iron, flax, and tallow
trades at St. Petersburg had stopped payment. The
amount of the liabilities has not been correctly
ascertained, but from the large connection of the
house it is supposed that the obligations are consi-
derable.

Biddings for £400,000 in bills on India took place
at the Bank of England yesterday. The proportions
allotted were—to Calcutta, £220,000; to Bombay,
.£160,000; and to Madras, £20,000. The declared
minimum price was, as before, ls. per rupee
on Calcutta, and ls. on Bombay and Madras.
The applications within the limits reached nearly
/2,000,000. Tenders on Calcutta at ls. 110. will
receive about 29 per cent., on Bombay at 2s. about
34 per cent., 013 Madras at Is. 1 l Id. about 36 per
cent., and all above these prices in full.
The public sales of colonial wool were brought to
a termination yesterday afternoon, and about 94,450
bales have been disposed of, Prices, which opened
at a decline of about lid. per lb., subsequently im-
proved, and at the close the current rates were
much the same as on the conclusion of the previous
auctions.

The last week's railway receipts up to this day
are in round figures as under :

These returns show in most instances a further
important improvement. On the Great Western
there is an increase of £1,760; North Western,
£12,144; South Western, £3,578; Midland,

Two o'CLocK.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr.keuter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were
firm at 69f 75e.

The quotations for Consols have varied but
slightly since yesterday, they being now 92 k for
money and account. General inactivity of business
has pervaded the Stock Exchange markets for some
time; but perhaps much of the dulness now per-
ceptible is to be attributed to the fine
Weather, which has induced many of the mem-
bers to put in an attendance at Ascot.
The New Threes and the Reduced Annuities ere
more buoyant at 911 I. A transaction has taken
place in the Red Sea Telegraph Annuities at 212-;
and Exchequer Bills continue at 4s. to ls. die.;
Indian descriptions remain firm ; the 5 per Cent.
Loan is 1079 108; the 4 per Cent. Enlaced Paper,
96 ; the 5 per Cents. do., 107; the 51 per Cent. do.,
1141; and the Bonds, 10s. prem.

The Foreign Market presents a quiet and heavy
appearance. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 714;
do. Cotisolides, M bli ; Spanish Passive, 34 34; ;
Greek, 338 ; do. Coupons, 151 ?,-; Mexican, 348;
Portuguese, 49`; Italian, 72i 73; do. New Scrip,
21 31 prem.; Granada, 164 ; Venezuelan, 681 59;
and the Confederate Loan 2k 2 die.
In the Railway Share Market the operations were
again of a very limited character, and prices have
in several instances a further slight depression.
Caledonian, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and South
Wtstern have receded about be., and North Eastern
(Berwick), 10s.; while Great Eastern, and London,
Chatham, and Dover have improver' ss.
For the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there
has been a very limited inquiry, and quotations
exhibit no material change.

Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are
in some instances rather firmer. London and
County have improved to 446 ; and Crystal Palace
Stock to 34. The shares of the International
Finance Company are quoted 6/ prem.; the
London Finance ditto, 1 j 2/ prem.; and the
General Credit ditto, 2-,1 3 prem.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)

RE DAY.-IN RE SPARSE AND BRIDGES.-.-A DIVIDEND

AFTER A HUNDRED YEARS.

This was an application to prove a debt by the petitioner,
who is the legal representative of a Miss Anne Asher, who
was a creditor under the estate of these bankrupts.
The bankruptcy occurred as far back as 1746, and a sum
of money had now fallen to the bankrupt. The debt and
interest amounted to £BOO. The proceedings were of the
ordinary nature, although there were several difficulties in
tracing the case, and the original commission had been lost.

THE TORTURES OP AN ORRERY !

My memory presents a birthday when Olympia
and I were taken by an unfeeling relative—some
cruel uncle, or the like—to the slow torture called
at. Orrery. The terrible instrument was set up at
the local theatre, and I had expressed a profane
wish in the morning that it was a Play; for which
a serious aunt had probed my conscience deep, and
my pocket deeper, by reclaiming a bestowed half-
crown. It was a venerable and a shabby Orrery,
at least one thousand stars and twenty-five comets
behind the age. Nevertheless, it was awful. When
the low-spirited gentleman with the wand said,
" Ladies and gentlemen (meaning particularly
Olympia and me), the lights are about to b. 3 put
out, but there is not the slightest cause for alarm,"
it was very alarming. Then the planets and stars
began. Sometimes they wouldn't come on, borne-
times they wouldn't go off, sometimes they had holes
in them, and mostly they didn't seem to be good
likenesses. All this time the gentleman with the
wand was going on in the dark (tapping away at
the heavenly bodies between whiles, like a weari-
some woodpecker) about a sphere revolving on its
own axis eight hundred and ninety-seven thousand
millions of times—or miles—in two hundred and
sixty-three thousand five hundred and twenty-four
millions of something elses, until I thought if this
was a birthday it were better never to have been
born. Olympia also became much depressed, and
we both slumbered and woke cross, and still the gen-
tleman was going on in the dark—whether up in the
stars, or down on the stage, it would have been hard
to make out, if it had been worth trying—cyphering
away about planes of orbits, to such an infamou, ex-
tent that Olympia, stung to madness, actually kicked
me, A pretty birthday spectacle when the lights
were turned up again, and all the schools in the tow❑
(including the National, who had come in for
nothing, and solve them right, for they were always
throwing stones) were discovered with exhausted
countenances, screwing their knuckles into their
eyes, or clutching their heads of hair. A pretty
birthday speech when Doctor Sleek of the City-Free
bobbed up his powdered head in the stage-box, and
said that before this assembly dispersed he really
must beg to express his entire approval of a lecture
as improving, as informing, as devoid of anything
that could call a blush into the cheek of youth, as
anv it had ever been his lot to hear delivered. A
pretty birthday altogether, when Astronomy
couldn't leave poor small Olympia Squires and me
alone, but must put an end to our loves! For, we
never got over it; the threadbare Orrery out-
sore our mutual tenderness; the man with the
wand was too much for the boy with the bow."—
Charles Dickens, in " All the Yetw _Round."
