CITY, Two o'CLocK.

There has been no change in the discount market
during the last few days, and it is expected to re-
main in its present position for some time to come.
About £112,000 in refined gold was purchased
by the Bank authorities yesterday.
The Teutonia, from New York, has brought
£58,990 in specie.
There was rather an active demand for cotton
yesterday in the Liverpool Market, and prices
were firm. The sales were about 7,000 bales.

parture of the following gold ships, viz. :—Young
Australia, with £78,336 ; Alfred, £113,584 ; York-
shire, .E 51,560 ; and Omar Pasha, £81,268. In

The Van Dieman's Land Company's annual
meeting took place to-day. Mr. John Cattley in
the chair. The report stated that only £1,700 had
been received during the past year from the colony,

amount of money in hand to pay a dividend.
There has been no alteration in the Market for
Public Securities to-day, and the principal attention
of the members has been directed to the liquidation

931 t- for transfer, and 93t- for account. The New
Threes and the Reduced are firm at 922 ; Ex-
chequer Bills remain at 19s. to 225. prem. ; Bank
Stock is rather firmer at 235 and 237 ; India ditto
has declined to 222 ; but the 5 per Cent. is 104 f,
being a slight advance.

Rather more activity has prevailed in the
Foreign Market, and prices in some instances show
a slight improvement. Turkish 6 per Cents. are
841 to 85; ditto, 1858, 691 701; Mexican have
improved to 341 1; Peruvian to 991 ; ditto Uri-
barren, to 95 96 ; ditto 3 per Cents. to 854 84;
