THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING', JULY 25, 1862.

MONEY MARKET.

CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY.

It is ten years since the Bank of England rate
of discount was at the lcw point now witnessed.
On the 22d of April, 1852, a step exactly similar to
the present was taken, the rate being lowered from
2 to 2 per cent. The Bank's resources were then
much larger than they are now, the eoin and bul-
lion being then £19,591,784 (now £18,060,617),
the reserve of notes £11,526,200 (now £9,652,160),
and the " other" securities only £11,225,844 (now
£19,581,822). At 2 per cent. the rate remained
for nearly nine months, viz., until the 6th of Jan.
1853, when an advance to 21 oozorred. At this
latter date the " other" securities had risen to
£15,875,756, and the reserve of notes had sunk to
£10,960.495, but the coin and bullion, being
£20,527.662, were more than on the previous 22d
of May, when, as already stated, e descent from 21
to 2 per cent. had taken place.
The reduction in the Bank of England rate has
not yet led to any increase in the applications for
discount at that establishment. The business there
to-day was very limited. In Lombard-street the
rate for good bills was only 1 per cent., and in
other quarters transactions are said to have taken
place as low as 18.

In consequence of the alteration at the Bauk, the
joint-stack banks have reduced the rate allowed for
deposits from 11 to 1 per cent. The discount esta-
blishments will henceforward give 1 per cent. (in-
stead of "at call," and 1i (instead of 11) "at
notice"

At Paris to-day the Three per Cent. Rentes
opened at 68.42, and closed at 68.60 for money
and 68.45 for the account, being sc. better than
yesterday.

A general meeting of shareholders in the Bank
of Egypt is called for the 6th of August.
The half-yearly meeting of the Blackwall Rail-
way Company is convened for the 12th of August.
A general meeting of the City of London Brewery
Company is called for the 7th of August to declare
a half-yearly dividend.
An instalment of 10 per cent. fell due to-day on
the Italian Five per Cent. Maremmana Railway
Loan for £1,338,000 sterling. The final instalment
of 9 per cent. is payable on the 27th of August.
The Ottoman Bank have received advices froth
Constantinople that a further sum equal to about
£16,000 in various descriptions of Turkish cur-
rency has been paid into their branch at that capital
from the proceeds of the customs duties, hypothe-
cated to the 1858 Loan, on account of the ap-
proaching September dividend.
The gold taken to the Bank to-day was £30,000.
The influx of specie from New York continues on
an extraordinary scale. The arrival was announced
this afternoon of the City of Baltimore with no less
than £450,000.
The Liverpool Cotton Market to-day was very
quiet. The transactions were limited to 3,500
baits.

CITY NEWS---THIS DAY .

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Bank of England return completed to the
23d instant, as generally anticipated, exhibits some
very • favourable changes. The bullion shows a
rather large addition, while there is a considerable
augmentation in the reserve of notes. A further
falling off is apparent in the other securities. The
'Public and private deposits show no alteration of
importance. The various items of the balance sheet,
and the charges they present, are exhibited in the
subjoined table

During the last few days there has been a mode-
rate amount of business transacted in the Foreign
and Colonial Produce Markets, without, however,
Producing any material change in the value of the
Principal staples. Tea has been at full rates ; sugars
have slightly adi'aneed, while good and fine descrip-
tions of coffee have been inquired for, at a slight
advance on former prices. Rice, fruit, and spices
have remained at about previous quotations. The
Tallow Market has been more active, and opera-
tions for both present and forward delivery have
been
negotiated to some extent at enhanced quota-
tions. P.Y.C.v on the spot is marked 49s 3d to 49s 6d,

There is still a very quiet demarrnlld'of°o'rCdLi°sCciOu._
accommodation, notwithstanling the increased fa-
cilities now offered. The Bank for the moment
are receiving very few applications, for although
the minimum has been reduced to 2 per cent.
ac-
commodation is obtainable elsewhere as low as
& Per cent.
Increased buoyancy pervades the Stock Exchange
-111arkets, and although the transactions are limited
there is a strong upward tendency. This, of course.
Ins attributable to the uneasiness of money, and the
lavemable weather for the crops. For some de-
scriptions of securities there is an extraordinary
uelzand, but speculation generally continues quiet,
nd the investments are not sufficient to create
,g,
'teneral activity. Consols are 93f L.- for money and
'ke
n
„ "u proximo, showing an advance of
per
. on the improved quotations of the previous
afternoon. The New Threes and tbo Reduced
hive advanced to 93A ; Exchequer Bills to 17s.
• Prem.; Bank Stock has risen to 238; and
`11(lia Five per Cent. Loan to 1087,- 4-•
g3ll)tian Scrip now attracts most attention in

the foreign department : it closed yesterday at 84
9/ prem., and this morning, owing to en extraordi-
nary demand, it has advanced to llf 12/ prem.
The other principal securities have also shown con
siderable buoyancy. Italian 5 per Cents. have
improved to 7O 71 ; Russian New Loon 'Scrip to
prem. ; Portuguese to 46 ; Venezuelan to 241 ;
ditto 11 per Cents. to 121 ; Turkish 6 per Cents,,
1851, to 85/ ; ditto 6 per Cents., 1858, to 734 74 ;
and the New Loan Scrip to n- S prem. The New
Portuguese Loan is 2 prem., being a furthe
advance.

In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
been moderately active, and most of the principal
lines have advanced about to per cent Cale-
donians, Great Northerns, Blackwall, Midlands,
and South-Easterns have improved 108.; and Great
Westerns, North Westerns, and Lancashire and
Yorkshire, ss.
The Foreign and Colonial lines remain firm at
about previous quotations.
Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
generally aer at slightly enhanced prices.

DEEP SEA FISHING.

Our old friend, Mr. Dempster, of deep sea fishing
notoriety, we observe, has been making a tour lately
at several fishing towns and villages, urging
fisheries and fish market reform. The Sunderland
limes inserts the following letter from him :
" There are few subjects interest us more than a
good and wholesome supply of food. Most persons
try to procure for themselves not only an abundance
of food, but to please the palate as well as appease
the appetite, by having it richly flavoured
and of prime quality. There are different
degrees of quality of almost every description of
food produced on land. Beef, mutton, pork, veal,
lamb, &c., may be had good, bad, and indifferent ;
so may bread and vegetables. But, singular to
reflect over, in the article fish there is very
little choice in our markets, particularly at ports
where the fishermen only use open boats to pursue
their calling. The natural habits of all white fish
are to keep far out at sea in deep water, when in
their strong, healthy, and best condition, that is, at
the time when the roe and melt are forming within
them ; or when, as the fishermen say, t hey are filling
fish. The distance from land where fish are found in
this prime state is too far for open boat fishermen to
proceed with safety ; they invariably wait until the
fish have left the deep, and come inshore to per-
form the function of spawning, which they do when
the roes and melts are well developed. To pro-
ceed far out to sea and capture the finny tribes
when in their prime condition, fishermen ought
to be furnished with strong built decked vessels,
fitted with wells for keeping the fish alive after
they have been caught. There are plenty of such
craft sail out of the river Thames and the Humber;
but from Whitby, in Yorkshire, to John o'Groate,
in the north of Scotland, nearly all the fishermen
are furnished with nothing but open boats and
cobles. One great advantage decked vessels
afford to fishermen is that they are much safer, and
a great deal more comfortable on board of them
than they are on board of small ope❑ boats ; and
are also able to keep at sea during all weathers,
whereby they can employ their time fully, and
capture many more fish of first-rate quality.
Within the last six months a party of gentlemen,
merchants and shipowners, at Leith, being con-
vinced of the propriety of urging forward fishery
extension and fish market improvement, now that
railways are opening up such extensive.markets for
fishermen's produce throughout the country,
have formed a company ; built one decked-
welled trawler, fitted up with auxiliary (screw)
steam power ; have had her tested, and she has
proved to be a complete success. The capstan being
driven by steam whilst winding up the trawl, is a
great improvement; and the well for keeping the
fish living in until required for the market is an-
other. The objectio❑ at one time started against
employing steam for trawling purposes, that the
noise of the paddles or screw would frighten the fish,
has been proved by this experimental vessel, fitted
up at Leith to be quite unfounded. _ _

" To reform the fisheries of Great Britain and
bring them up to the standard of what they ought
to be, will require a long pull, a strong pull, and
a pull altogether. Scarcity and dearness is now
the general complaint about white fish. If the
public want a better and fuller supply than what
they have now got, and fish of superior quality,
they need not put any dependence on the fishing
communities supplying them with what they want,
unless urged onward to improvement by outside
pressure. The po!icy of all fishermen, as well as
nearly all other producers of food and necessaries
of life, is scarcity and dearness, not abundance and
cheapness. The selfish principle of " Man mind
thyself," seems to be everywhere predominant, and
open boat fishermen in particular are not behind-
hand in seeking the domestic comforts of a feather
bed and fireside.

" The wholesale fish marketing system at Bil-
lingsgate market, London, where the trade is di-
vided into three distinct branches, namely, pro-
ducer, wholesale, and retail dealer, gives a full and
fair division of labour, and is unquestionably the
prime cause for promoting fishery improvements
about the river Thames. The wholesalesmen or
brokers in Billingsgate-market are a class of respect-
able and responsible men, who stand between the
fishermen and the public to see that justice is done to
both. They roup off the fish in his to the best ad-
vantage for the fishermen's interests, and see they
are in good ciondition before disposing of them to
the public. As the broker's living depends upon
the quantity and quality of the fish brought to
market, he has always an eye on the fishermen,
urging and encouraging them on to enterprising
pursuits. Where there is a system of brokerage
like this, and when capitalists have no trouble with
the disposal of fish, there are plenty of gentlemen
who have embarked in fishing enterprises, by
building decked-welled vessels, hiring crews for
them, and sending them to sea for cargoes of living
fish. When the vessel arrives, the cargo is con -
signed to a broker, who, after rouping it off to
retail dealers, deducts his per tentage from the
sales, and immediately hands over the balance
to the owner of the fishing vessel. By such a
system the trade is conducted in a respectable and
clean looking manner. Sea port towns which are
without a wholesale fish market, and where the
fisheries are conducted with small open cables, and
the fishermen's wives and daughters interfere with
selling fish as retail dealers, are far behind what
they ought to be in this enlightened age of ours."
With reference to Billingsgate Fish-market Mr.
Dempster says!—" There are tilt ee times the quan-
tity of fish now comes to Billingsgate market than
what there were previous to railways, but the
quality has sadly disappeared." This he attributes
to the facilities afforded to open boat fishermen
sending to London their along-shore caught fish.
Mr. Dempster advocates that a fisherman ought to
be supplied with decked welled vessels, and proceed
far out to sea and capture fish when in their strong,
firm, and best condition.

GROSS MILITARY BARBARITY. Considerable
excitement now prevails in the town of Woolwich arising
from an act of refined cruelty which has taken place at the
garrison, and is now under the consideration of the mili-
tary authorities. It appears that a few nights since a man
who hat been apprehended by the military police, on sus-
picion of being a deserter, was conveyed to the guardroom
at the Royal Artillery Barracks. Whilst there it is stated
that he committed some act which offended Prov st Sergeant
Ashton, the chief officer of the force named, who thereupon
took upon himself to order that the prisoner should be re-
moved to the cells, stripped naked, and scrubbed with sand
and water. This abominable abuse of authority appears
to have been carried out to the fullest extent—the
task of " scrubbing" being delegated to two marines, who
were also prisoners, and who so exerted themselves that the
unfortunate sufferer was completely covered with abrasions
and sores, being in fact in such a sad condition that he was
removed to the hospital. Here the facts of the ease came
to the knowleage of one of the medical officers, who at once
reported it, and the result was that Major-General Sir R.
Dacres, the commandant, immediately ordered Sergeant
Ashton to be suspended from his duties and confined to his
quarters pending a representation to the superior military
authorities and their decision thereon. It is said that the
man upon whom the cruelty was inflicted has not turned
out to be a deserter, and although he has now been under
careful treatment for three days, he is still in a dreadful
state of suffering at the Ordnance Hospital.
SIR RICHARD MAYNE AND THE OMNIBUSES.—
The Chief Commissioner of Police and
h the directors of the
London General Omnibus Company have
collision, and all sorts of hostile proceedings are threatened.
It is known to those who are in the habit of ascending
omnibuses and taking their seat on the " knifeboard" that
there is an iron railing running along each side of the car-
riage against which they generally place their feet. This
part of the omnibus the directors determined to utilise, and
accordingly they turned it to advertising purposes, so that
now large boards are placed against this iron railing on the
top of the omnibuses, giving the carriage the appearance of
immense height, and making them look like huge adver-
tising vans. Sir Richard Mayne in the first instance gently
, at present
remonstrated against this bold innovation upon old estab-
lished vehicular customs, but the directors, more alive to
profits than to the Commissioner's suggestions, treater?
him with contemptuous silence. A more decided
rem ;
remove the
agrl
then taken, and the directors were ordered to one
unsightly boa, ds, but they refused to do so, a
the matter is in lite, the Commissioner of Polihuce being re-
solved that the omnibuses shall not be turned into adver-
tising vans, and the directors being determined, on the
other hand, that they will not forego so profitable a source
of income.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. 1

HOUSE OF LORDS-YESTERDAY.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
art five o'clock.

THE MARRIAGE LAWS.
Lord STANLEY of ALDER LEY presented several
petitions in favour of legalising the marriage with a deceased
wife's sister.

FIRST READINGS.
The Highland Roads, Lunatic Law Amendment, and
the Militia Ballot Suspension Bills were read a first time.
THE JOURNALS OF THE HOUSE.
Lord REDESDALE defended the manner in which the
journals of the house were kept. He did so in consequence
of a statement which had been made in another place, that
the journals were a year and a half in arrear. The only
thing in which there was, in fact, any delay, was in the
publication of the judgments of the house, and this was
occasioned by the necessity of their having to undergo
careful revision.
PAROCHIAL ASSESSMENT BILL.

The Duke of NEWCASTLE moved the second reading
of this bill, the object of which was to regulate the assess••
ment of property, there being in some instances a difference
between the actual and rating value of from 20, 30, and
even 50 per cent. It was objected that there would be a
very great expense occasioned by the bill, namely, for
a revaluation of parochial property. Now in many
parishes that revaluation had already taken place, so in
those places it would therefore be unnecessary, and in such
places where a revaluation was required, before being done
the assessment committee to be appointed by the bill would
have to give their sanction to such a proceeding, The
measure would effect that which was urgently required,
viz., uniformity of rating, and as it was generally approved
of by nearly all the boards of guardians throughout the
kingdom he hoped their lordships would give their assent
to the second reading.

Lord PORTMAN thought, before the measure passed,
it was absolutely necessary that some alteration should be
made in the 15th clause.

The Marquis of BATH objected to the bill, as he looked
upon it as the first step towards establishing a system of
union rating.

Lord REDESDALE doubted whether there was time
during the present session to give adequate attention to
this bill. He objected to the machinery of the measure, and
he was of epinion if the bill passed it would give the same
satisfaction as the system which it was now sought to get
rid of.
Lord EGERTON suggested that the further considers-
don of this bill be delayed till next year.
A short discussion ensued, and ultimately the bill was
read a second time.

Tho Coal Mines Bill, the Police and Improvement (Scot-
land) Bill, and the Parochial Building (Scotland) Bill were
severally read a third time and passed.
The Savings Banks (Ireland) Bill, the Weights and
Measures (Ireland) Act Amendment Btll, the County Sur-
veyors (Ireland) Bill, and the Divorce Court Bill, were
read a second time.
Their lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—YESTERDAY.
The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The Dulas Valley Mineral Railway, and the Waterford
and Limerick and Ennis Railway Bills were read a third
time and passed.

THE POACHING PREVENTION BILL.
Several petitions were presented against this bill from
different parts of the country,
ARMY COMMISSIONS.
On the motion of Sir DE LACY EVANS a return rela-
tive to the sale of commissions for commuted or other sums
within the last seven years by parties who had neither pur-.
chased nor completed 20 years service was ordered.
FEES ON PRIVATE BILLS.
On the motion of Colonel WILSON PATTEN returns on
this subject were ordered.
MILITARY RESERVE FUND.
In reply to General PEEL,
Sir G. LEWIS said that this subject bad been under the
consideration of the Government, as he had stated on a
previous occasion, and had also been considered by his pre-
decessor. It had been decided, with the concurrence of his
Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, that payments
out of this fund should be made with respect to the merits
of the claimants and the circumstances under which they
left the service, such as illness or other sufficient causes.

METROPOLITAN TURNPIKES.
In reply to Mr. WHITE,
Sir G. GREY said that the abolition of the metropolitan
turnpikes had been under the consideration of Government,
and a bill on the subject would be introduced next session.
COUNCIL OF EDUCATION.
Viscount ENFIELD asked the Vile-President of the
Committee of Council on Education whether he would
consider the advisability of making the districts connected
with the Committee of Council on Education smaller ; and
whether there was any intention of promoting the masters
in these schools to the post of examiners ?
Mr. LOWE said that both subjects were under con-
sideration, and he was at present unable to give any definite
answer in reference to them.
