ONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

A free inquiry in the general discount market
imparts continued firmness to the quotations.
During the next few days arrangements connected
With the various commercial bills due on the 4th
Will create activity, and the rates fur a time may
show additional firmness. Subsequently, however,
symptoms of uneasiness are anticipated, owing to
the favourable tendency of the specie movement,
and other considerations calculated to influence the
market in that direction.

It has been officially notified that the Union
Bank of England and France and the Belgian and
Netherlands Bank are to be incorporated into one
establishment, under a comprehensive title, with a
capital of two millions sterling.
A further sum of £44,000 in gold was taken into
the Bank on Saturday.
The Oneida has been announced from the Brazils
With £42,614.
The accounts from the manufacturing districts
received this morning for the past week have been
generally satisfactory. The dealings in cloths and
yarns at Manchester have been moderately active;
the high rates demanded, however, have in some
measure checked operations. In the woollen dis-
tricts of Leeds, Bradford, Halifax, and Hudders-
field there has been a steady inquiry for autumn
and winter fabrics; while at Birmingham, Shef-
field, and Wolverhampton, symptoms of increased
diminution have been apparent in several depart-
ments.

Two O'CLOCK.

A very small amount of business has been nego-
tiated to-day in the Market for the English Funds,
and the extreme apathy of speculators, as well as
the investing public, has created a little heaviness.
The support given last week by several pur-
chases in succession has been partially exhausted,
and hence the reaction of about .. per cent.,
Consols being 031 a for money, and 93-Z s for the
account. Business has been transacted in the New
Threes at 9314 ; and the Reduced Annuities at
03Z- 4 ; India Stock is 1081; and Exchequer Bills,
Is. die. to 2s, prem.

Continued animation prevails in the Foreign
Market, and although in one or two instances less
firmness is apparent the general tendency of quo-
tations is in an upward direction. Turkish 6 per
Cents., 1858, 721 ; do., 1862, 691 701; do., Conso-
lides, have receded to 51 y, 52i ; Mexican to 391 ; but
Greek have risen to 361 ; ditto Coupons to 17i, 18 ;
Spanish Passive to 34i?-, 8; ditto Certificates to 138 d ;
Portuguese to 491, 50 ; and the Confederate Loan
is 2 per cent. better, being 25 to 23 dis.

In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
been very restricted, and in several instances prices
have been rather flatter. Great Western, Lanca-
shire and Yorkshire, South Western, and Midland
have each receded as., and Great Eastern 10s.
The Foreign and Colonial undertakings remain
inactive, without any material change to record in
values.

Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue dull,
at about previous quotations, with the exception of
International Financial shares,which have improved
to 10-1 a ; and General Credit and Finance, which
have risen to 4 I; Hudson Bay Company are heavy,
at 41 ; and London Financial steady, at 12k.

AN AMERICAN DUEL.—A, New York p iper says :

ground of its being an insult not only
but to his nearest and dearest relatives of that sex. rltTi;
hinted also that the obnoxious speech of tne lieutenant was
made particularly poignant by reason of " a lady in the
case"--a Washington lady—who had, according. to rumour,
discarded the attentions of the infantry officer to smile upon
those of his companion. The challenge given by the
latter was promptly responded to, and the meeting oc-
curred upon the Jersey shore as stated. Pistols were tht
weapons. Three shcts were exchanged without effect.
The result of the fourth was more sanguinary. Tht
challenger, struck in the neck by tho bullet of his
adversary, fell bleeding and senseless, but reviving
within a few moments, inquired with Undaunted pluck
whether the time bad arrived for "another round." His
strength, however, failed to match his courage, and the
duel was pronounced at an end. happily for the parties concerned, we are enabled to say that the sufferer in the
Ee,a.tr is rapidly recovering.
