NONEY MARKET

AND
COMMEIWIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Owing to the preparations now in progr'ess for
the bills arriving at maturity on Thursday next,
the 4th inst., business in the general discount mar-
ket is rather active. The inquiries have increased,
and this circumstance has induced bankers and
others to ask full terms for the securities offered for
discount, and 4 per cent. is now the minimum in
the open market as well as at the Bank of England.
About £lO,OOO in gold was taken out of the Bank
on Saturday.

The arrivals of specie announced to-day com-
prise £116,560 by the Sussex, and £135,088 by the
Essex, from Australia ; £1,498, by the Oneida,
from the Brazils ; and £40,500, by the Teutonia,
from New York ; making a total of /293,646,

The hqlf-yearly report which has been issued
preparatory to the meeting of the African Steam-
ship Company, recommends the payment of a
dividend at the rate of 7 per cent, per annum.
From the manufacturing districts the account for
the past week state that, in consequence of the
intervention of the Whitsuntide holidays, there
has been a very limited business transacted in moat
departments, and prices generally have remained
without any material variation.

Two O'CLOCK.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were

The meeting of the Atlantic Royal Mail Steam
Packet Company took place to-day, and a resolution
again adjourning it to the 13th proximo was passed,
i❑ order to allow time to the directors to communi-
cate the terms of the new contract with the Govern-
ment.

The adjourned meeting of the shareholders of the
Anglo-Portuguese Bank was held to-day, and the
necessary resolution carried confirming the minutes
of the preceding meeting authorising the increase
of the present share capital of £1,000,000 to
£1,260,000, by the creation of £2,600 new shares of
£lOO each.

Very little alteration has taken place to-day in
the market for the English Funds, Consols being
932 g for money, and 92k 1, less the dividend for
the account. The New Three:, and the Reduced
have been dealt in at 911 and Exchequer Bills are
4s. dis. to par. ; India 5 per Cents. 1101 ; the 5 per
Cents. Enlaced baq ; and the 5 per Cent. ditto 115.
The transactions, however, have been very limited,
a disinclination being shown to extend engage-
ments on speculative account as to affect invest-
ments.

There has been more animation and buoyancy in
the Foreign Market. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862,
are 72 s ; do,, Consolides, 511 52 ; Spanish Passive,
331 34; do., Certificates, 121 ?,-; Greek, 331 8
do., Coupons, 15 I; Mexican, 358 8 ; Venezuela,
6911; Equador, 171 181; Portuguese, 49i 508 ;
and the Confederate Loan, 21 to 18 dis.
In the Railway Share Market there has been
less animation, and several of the principal lines
have slightly receded. Great Eastern A Stock,
Metropolitan, Midland, and North Stafford have
each declined about 55., and North British 10s,
For the Foreign and Colonial undertakings the
in quiries were also very limited, and quotations were
unaltered.

Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are in limited
request. City Bank have receded to 116; Oriental
Bank improved to Hi; Electric Telegraph to 106;
and South Australian Land to 33; International
Finance Shares are quoted 6t, to 71 prem. ; London
Finance, 11 28 prem. ; and General Credit, 31 34
prem.

The claim to the Dundonald Peerage, on behalf
of the second eon, has been rejected, and the original
marriage in Scotland has been decided to have been a legal
one. Every one of our readers will probably remember the
touching appeal made by the Countess of Dundoriald, in
the House of Lords, on behalf of her eldest son, and it will
give universal satisfaction to find that the fir st•born of the
late gallant admiral will hold his honours undisturbed,
