MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
There is no alteration in the Money Market to-
day, a steady business being reported at firm
rates.

The bullion operations at the Bank yesterday
comprised the influx of £90,000 in gold, making a
total intromission since the date of the last return
of £208,000.

The America, from New York, has brought
£38,000.
At a meeting of the creditors of Mr. J. F. Figge,
merchant, who recently suspended, a balance-sheet
was presented, showing liabilities of £14.567, and
assets of £7,097 ; it was agreed to wind up the
estate under inspectorship.
A special settlement has been appointed to take
place on the 31st inst., in the shares of the English,
Belgian, and Netherlands Bank, the English and
Scottish Marine Insurance Company, and the West
Surrey Tanning Company, excepting in the latter
undertaking the dealings are to be officially re-
corded.
The last week's railway receipts ascertained up
to this day are in round figures as unldBe6r3:

These returns are in moat instances of a satisiac-
tory character. On the North Western there is an
increase of £504, on the Midland of £263, on the
South Eastern of £ll2, on the Lancashire and
Yorkshire of £2,615, on the North Eastern (Ber-
wick) of £2,902, on the North British of £914,

of £1,640, and the Great Northern of £1,193.

Two O'CLOCK.
At the half-yearly meeting to-day of the Victoria
(London) Dock Company—Mr. Charles Morrison
in the chair—the report of the directors was uni-
monsly adopted. It was stated that, comparing
the previous half-year with the preceding one, there
was a decrease in the number of ships and tonnage
that had entered the several London Docks for the
years ending June, 1862, and 1863. The directors
had agreed with the Charing-cross Railway Com-
pany to refer to arbitration the question of the sum
to be paid by the latter for the steelyard.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were
67f, 35c.—heavy.

A rise of a per cent. has taken place this morning
in the market for English Stocks. This advance is
no doubt due to some speculative purchases, the
continual daily flow of gold into the Bank of Eng-
land, and the favourable tendency of the rates of
discount. Consols are now marked 931 a for money,
and 937, a- for the account. The New Threes and
Reduced Annuities remain at 93-} ; the New 21
per Cent. Annuities are 771 ; the 30 years do., 151 ;
and Exchequer Bills Is. dis. to 2s, prem. The India
5 per Cents. Loan is quoted 1081 ; and the Bonds
are 19s. prem.

A fair business is recorded in the Foreign Mar.
ket, and prices have tonded upwards. Turkish 6
per Cents., 1858, are 721 ; do., 1862, 691 ; do.,
Consolides, 51f t ; Greek, 34 ‘l, ; do., Coupons,
161 1; Mexican, 37k 38f ; Spanish Passive, 34k I ;

sian, 92f. s ; Peruvian, 86 ; Italian, 711 ; and the
Confederate Loan, 24 to 22 dis.

The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
been very restricted, but a firmer tone has pre-
vailed. Midland, North Eastern (Berwick), and
South Eastern, have each improved ss. ; and Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire, and North Western,
In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there
has been no change of importance.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are in one or
two instances rather firmer. Oriental Bank have
improved to 57i ; Union of Australia, to 54! ;
Hudson Bay Company, to 32_ 4g.; and International
Financial Shares are firm at 83 9.

AN EXTORTIONATE GUEST !—A case was heard
at Croydon on the 20th inst., which reads more like
a Amy out of a jest-book than a grave legal report. "Dr,"
Snow. Beck had a friendly acquaintance and some business
relations with Mr. Sterne, occasionally prescribed for the
family, twice attended Mrs. Sterne as accoucheur, and dined
with them very frequently. He was paid for his medical
services, partly in money and partly in presents, and seemed
quite content ; but, quarrelling with hie friend, he suddenly
produced a bill for three years' medical attendance srammt-
ing to £591. It was proved that he had not mentioned this
claim even in a previous reference to an arbitrator, that
some of the items were for attendance at the patient's
dinners, and that he charged £3 3s. for each attendance.
The jury could not stand it, stopped plaintiff's counsel to
say they had made up their minds, and brought in a verdict
for defendant, the judge declaring that in his experience he
had never heard a claim so outrageous. To have made the
ease quite perfect, Mr. Sterne should have consulted Joe
Miller, and pleaded a set-off of 10 guineas for every dinner
supplied.—Spectator.

1)R. JOIiNSON'S OPINION OF EDMUND BURKE.
--Who does not remember it in Boswell, us thus
expressed by the Great Doctor?—" What I most envy
Burke for is his being constantly the same. lie is never
what we

B.te Aped aside call humdrum ; never unwilling to begin to talk,
in haste to leave off. . . . Burke, sir, is such a

'of oxen, and you and he
