COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Continued quietude pervades the general discount
market, and the rates remain unchanged.
The Ellora, from Alexandria, has brought £1,321;
the China, from New York, £79,800 ; the Bavaria,
also from America, with £16,990; and the
Glendower, from Melbourne, with £31,000.
The half-yearly meeting was held to-day of the
English, Scottish, and Australian Chartered Bank,
Mr• T, W. Watson in the chair. The report was
unanimously adopted, and the dividend, in accord.
ante with the recommendation of the directors, viz.,
at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, free of income-
tax, was declared payable. In consequence of the
increasing business of the bank requiring further
capital, it was agreed to issue 5,000 new shares, of
£2O each, to be offered at Jar and pro rata to the
existing shareholders.

The accounts from '.he various manufacturing
districts for the past -week have been generally of
a more satisfactory character. There has been a
more active inqniry for both cloths and yarns at.
Manchester. The woollen trade of Leeds, Brad-
ford, and Huddersfield has exhibited symptoms of
improvement, consequent upon the demand for
winter goods. Business in the hosiery and lace
trades of Leicester and Nottingham has continued
moderately active, and a slight improvement has
been experienced in the hardware districts of Bir-
mingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton.

appearance, and a general fail has taken place in

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.25 per Z 1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of R. 3
17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold Is
nearly 3-lothe per cent. dealer in London than in Paris.
By advises from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 134 per £1 sterling.
standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg
The course of exchange at New York on London in still in
a very flue' listing state, the latest quotation of the exchange
being about 144 per cent., and the premium on gold is about
31i per cent. Some gold has been received by the last packets.

A St. Petersburg letter in the Cologne says:—
"By an order of the de y, Prince Nicholas of
Oldenburg, a relation of the Emperor Alexander,
to whom he is aide-de-camp, and colonel of a
regiment of dragoons, has been removed from active
service, from illness. The Prince is, however, in
excellent health, and is now in Germany with his young
wife. His recent secret marriage with a Russian lady
named Bularel has greatly irritated the Imperial family of
Russia, and led to the withdrawal of his command."
The Courrzer de la Drome announces that the
harvest is finished in the plains of La Valloire, and that the
crop is most satisfactory both as regards quantity and qua-
lity. The hay crop is also good, but the artificial grasses
are suffering for want of rain. Symptoms of oidum have
appeared in some vineyards, but not to any great extent I
The Academy of Inscriptions and Belles Lettres,
in its last sitting, awarded a prize to M. Felix Robion, pro-
fessor of history at Napoleonville, for his essay on the in-
vasion of the Gauls in the East, and the history of their
settlements in Asia Minor, under the name of Galatians.
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN AMERICA.
" Manhattan" says :—The Catholic Church in all parts of
the 'United Ste es w►ll go into mourning on account of the
death of Archbishop Kenrick, of Baltimore diocese. That
is the oldest in the Union, and the highest in rank,
although that of Archbishop Hughes is ten times more im •
portant. The latter should be made a cardinal.
