COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The inquiries for money today have been rather
less active at previous quotations.
A further sum of £15,000 in gold was taken into
the Bank yesterday.
There was co alteration of importance in the
foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon.
Since Monday last the imports of specie have
amounted to £368,600 and the exports to £748,500.

Two o'CLocK.
In French 3 per Cent. Rentes, according to Mr.
Reuter's telegram, business was transacted in the
Boulevard last night at 68f. 70c., in consequence of
divers rumours. To-day at 11.30 they were quoted
,t 69f., none of the rumours current having as yet
been confirmed. The last quotation received is
68f. 92c., uneasy.
There has been a general curtailment of specula-
tive business at the Stock Exchange, which may
be partly accounted for by the intervention of the
Jewish holidays. The quotations, however, have
Continued to manifest considerable firmness, much
'anon being given to prices by the upward ten-
dency of the French Rentes. Consols are 923 t
for money, and 93: for the account. The New
Threes are 92 1 ; the Reduced 921 1 ; Exchequer
Bills, par to 3s. prem. ; and India 5 per Cents.,
1081 a.
The movements in the Foreign Market today
are rather important, although the business trans-
acted is not extensive. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854,
are 941 954 ; do., 1858, 701 ; do., 1862, 714 ; do.,
Consolides have improved to 53: ; Mexican to
421 H; Spanish Passive to 361 ; the Certificates,
131 7,-; but Greek have receded to 371 a ; the
Coupons to 171 181 ; Portuguese to 491 1; and the
Confederate Loan to 31 to 29 dis.
In the Railway Share Market increased depres-
Ilion has prevailed. Great Western, Lancashire and
*Yorkshire, North Eastern (Berwick), and South
Eastern have each receded 65., and South Western
and Metropolitan 10s.
The Foreign and Colonial lines have remained
very inactive, without change in values.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have fully sus-
tained former rates. Chartered of India, Aus-
tralia, and China realise 351 36 ; English, Scottish,
and Australian Chartered, 221 a; London and
Brazilian, 46; Crystal Palace Stock is steady at
39 ; General Credit and Finance are quoted 4: ;
Hudson's Bay Company, 91, ; and London Finan-
cial, 121, 13.

The CUCKOO, OR THE CUCCULUS CANORUS, is a
'cry quaker-like dressed individual, slate-grey,
white and black, being the prominent colours of its
feathers. The hen cuckoo generally lays her eggs, which
Itre not larger than a skylark's, in the nest of some other
steelier bird, but only one in each nest, leaving the young
Lira g to be brought up by their foster-parents. Some
Writer relates a Swedish anecdote in connection with the
acuekoo, accounting, in the following ingenious manner, for
f'. having no time to build her nest. He says that irume-
,atelY on the arrival of this bird, all the young maidens,
tale first time of hearing her note in each year, are in the
habit of asking the question, " How many years before I
!marry a" The number of times the bird cries " cuckoo"
?ta reply is received as the answer, and the poor cuckoo is
kept Bo fully employed by the Swedish spinsters in deter-
4irte.ning the duration of their single blessedness that she has
o time to attend to her own domestic affairs, and conse-
Yellow
quently drops her eggs into the neat of the hedge-sparrow,
hammer, pied wagtail, and the meadow pipit.

SALE OF MR. WINDHAM's STUD.--.The horses
---
and drag belonging to Mr. W. F. Windham, of
Pelbrigge-hall, near Norwich, were sold by public auction,
in Brighton, on Wednesday last, by Mr. Wilkinson. The
stud consisted of ten animals, chiefly carriage horses, and
included the pair of beautiful mares which Mrs. Windham
had been in the habit of driving. The harness included the
fine double set that was so much admired in the Inter-
national Exhibition last year. Notwithstanding that the
weather Was very unfavourable, a large company was col-
lected at the hour of sale, among whom were severaldealers
from London. The bidding was spirited, and some of the
lots realised high prices. Mr. and Mrs. Windham have
been staying at Brighton for several weeks past, during
which they have appeared a good dea: in public together.
They have now gone on a visit to the tale of Wight.
