ITONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

An active demand for money during the past
few days has not at all abated, and but few first-
!lass bills are consequently negotiated under the
'lnk of England minimum, viz., 4 per cent, This
inquiry will, no doubt, be maintained for another
fortnight, when the Government dividends for July
Will be paid, which will considerably add to the
resources at the disposal of bankers and discounters.
A further sum of £5,000 in gold was purchased
°Y the Bank authorities yesterday.
The Maraman has arrived from Melbourne with
£201,328.

The Committee of the Stock Exchange have
aPpointed Thursday next for a special settlement
111 the shares of the Indian Tea Company of
,
;dehai, which are not to be 'narked ; and Thurs-
day, the 2d proximo, in the General Credit and
Finance Company, dealings in which are to be
officially recorded.
Daring the last few days there has not been much
animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets. Sugar has in some instances been rather
Cheaper. Coffee, rice, and cocoa have remained at
about previous quotations, while saltpetre has been
411. In the tallow market the operations for both
Present and forward delivery have been on a very
limited scale, consequent upon the progress of poli-
tical events in Poland.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were
inanimate at 68f. 62c.
A- further decline of I per cent. has taken place
today
in the English Funds, owing to renewed
sales on speculative account, and the unfavourable
feeling relative to the Polish question. Console are
n for transfer, end 91-'4 92 for the 9th proximo.

and Bristol and Exeter, £1 10s. South Western,
however, have advanced about 10s.

DESOLATION IN Mississipri.—A correspondent
..of the Cincinnati Enquirer writes from Young's
The whole country from Milliken's Bend to Hard
Pines, apposite Grand Gulf, a distance of 60 miles, is one
abomination of desolation.' It has been an earthly para-
eias ; lordly palaces filled with pictures, statues, and articles
of vertu; beautiful gardens, teeming with floral beauties,
are now all laid waste. In those magnificent halls where
Southern beauty and chivalry were wont to revel, soldiers
Cook their despised sow belly' with fires built out of rose-
wood chairs and curiously carved furniture, sleep on cotton
• beds worth 50 dols, each, and in the morning abandon all
to the horde of 50 hungry negroes, who follow the army and
gather its refuse, like troops of unclean birds which smell
the carcass from afar. Among these rich nabobs none ex-
celled the Hon. John Perkins. His dwelling is magnificent
even in its ruins, and his gardens are still fragrant wit h
acres of roses. When General Butler entered New Orleans
he chartered the Magnolia, one of the largest boats on the
river, put his most valuable slaves, pictures, plate, cattle,
ae,, on board, and set fire to the rest. For seven miles his
lands blazed with 5,000 bales of burning cotton and grana-
ries of corn. His house, with furniture which cost 200,000
dole. in Paris, and the houses of his overseers, all were
fired, while he stood on the bank and watched the mighty
conflagration. In the morning he embarked a ruined man.
I had never dreamed of such Arabian magnificence as I find
In the ruins of the houses of these rich planters. In one
garden I found no less than 700 different varieties of roses
This is, I believe, the largest collection in America. There
are no more than three in Europe that equal it,"
Mendelssohn's " Hymn of Praise," and Rossini's
" Stabat Mater," will be performed at Exeter-hall, to-
morrow by the National Choral Society, under the direc-
tion of Mr. G. W. Martin, with band and chorus of 700
Performers, and the following principal singers—M esdames
l'arepa, Alboni, Messrs. Sims Reeves and Lewis Thomas.
IoANKRUPICY.—A return issued yesterday from
the accountant in bankruptcy states that the re-
N'atue prior to 11th October, 1861, was 4'83,201, and the
"Ponditure £63,675 ; that the receipts from 12th October
'''‘) 31st December (same year) were £21,027, and the outlay
£17,584. The total revenue for 1862 was £124,512, and
the expenditure £119,750. The total amount received by
the Bank of England on account of the accountant in bank-
l'uptey in 1861 was £1,353,080, and the amount paid
1)246,961, while in the year 1862 £792,922 were received,
and £937,316 paid.
ENCLOSURES.—The Enclosures Bill, No. 2, which
is Passing through Parliament, sanctions 21 more enclo-
aures, together extending to 36,653 acres. The largest is
ilannewi-breti mountain, or sheep walk, in Cardiganshire,
17,278 acres. The Enclosure Commissioners have reported
as to most of these enclosures either that the land is un-
suitable for allotments or that they are unnecessary, but
about 20 acres are to be allotted for exercise and recreation,
and X 39 for cottagers' gardens,
