AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK_
The settlement in foreign stocks and railway I
shares has exerted more than ordinary influence
upon the general market. This has arisen from
the recent extensive speculation in such securities
as Turkish Consolides, Greek Bonds, Spanish Pas-
sive, the Certificates, &c. The dealers requiring
very onerous terms for continuing transactions
until the middle of June, many of the operators
have preferred to take up the stock rather than
submit to the exaction, and a large temporary
demand for money has been consequently pro-
moted. The mercantile classes are now enabled to
negotiate three months' hills on lower terms in the
open market than at the Bank of England, and a
larger proportion of the paper brought into circula-
tion is therefore taken Into that establishment.
The last week's railway receipts ascertained up
to this day are, in round figures, as under
1863. 1862.

A NEW " ALABAMA."—.It is now well known--
especially among those ir.terested—that Captain
Semmes of the Alabama is about to change his nag and
hoist it upon a more substantial but equally fast ship.
Captain Bullock, who for the last year and more has been
in this country superintending the construction of vessels
for the Confederate service, is now about to leave the Clyde
and will probably call at Cardiff, with a large iron vessel
for the
new C'onfederates. Captain Bullock will afterwards take
the
transfer theateer to a port at present "secret," and there
of the Alab command to Captain Semmes. The command
arna will then devolve upon Captain Bullock
iusnetnilaFbulecdli time as Captain Moffit of the privateer Florida
to take command of the Alabama. The Florida
wilthenbe under the guidance of Captain Bullock, until
Captain Jones is appointed. The last transfer is easily.
