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 laalf-yeirly 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-
ance 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 wes agreed to issue's,ooo new shares, of
£2O each, to be offered at par and pro rata to the
existing shareholders.
The accounts from the various manufacturing
districts for the past week have been generally of
a more satisfactory character. There has been a
more active inquiry 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.

Two O'CLOCK.
The Paris Three per Cent. Rentes, this morning,
according to Mr. Renter's telegram, opened at 66f.

Speculation in the Market for the English Funds

prem.

The Foreign Maiket presents a very depressed
appearance, and a general fall has taken place in
values, but the chief drop has been in the Confede-
rate Loan, which is now 9 to 8 discount, owing to
the news brought by the China. Turkish 6 per

iiverpool Cotton Market—This Day.

(B.ETJTER's TELEGRAM.)
Very animated, at advancing rates. Sales will
probably foot up to 10,000 bales.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about per mine pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.2 k per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 23
17e. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
nearly 3-10ths per cent, dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.5 f 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 iluc uating state, the latest quotation of the exchange
being about 144 per cent., and the premium on gall 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 day, 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 Courner de la Drome annonnces 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.]
The Academy of inscriptions and Belles •Lettres,
in its last sitting, awarded a prize to M. Felix Robiou, 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 will 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.
THE ANGLO-CHINESE FLEET.—We hearthat the
undermentioned of his imperial Majesty's ships of
the Anglo-Chinese squadron, under Commodore Sherard
Osborn, C. 8., had arrived at the Cape, and were lying there
at the dates undermentioned; Pekin, Captain Burgoyne,
V.C., June 12; Alloy, Captain Nicolas, May 27; China,
Commander N el Osborn, May 25. The Kwang-tung,
Captain Allen Young, was at Ascen.ion on the 24th ult.—
