MONEY MARKET.

CITY NEWS—YESTERDAY.
No gold was taken to the Bank to-day. Fifty
thousand sovereigns were withdrawn for exporta-
tion to Lisbon.

The Magdalena Brazilian mail steamer takes out
£80,183, including the above 50,000 sovereigns for
Lisibon.

From the uncertainty which prevails as to the
rumours about the Great Eastern., and her safety,
the underwriting premiums have gone up to 20
guineas at Liverpool.
At a meeting, on Friday, of the creditors of
Messrs. Crabtree, Aked, and Co., who suspended at
Liverpool in the Brazilian trade, on the 22d ult., the
liabilities were stated at £46,287 and the assets at
only £5,627, leaving a deficiency of £40,660. The
corresponding houses in Brazil, however, are in-
debted to the Liverpool house to the extent of nearly
£50,000, and the results of the liquidation will
depend upon the winding up of those accounts. The
proximate cause of the stoppage consisted in the
failure of Messrs. Rostron and Co. A committee of
inspection was appointed.

CITY NEWS-THIS DAY.
CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Rather more activity has prevailed in the Foreign
and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few
days. Tea, however, has continued dull. Sugars
have been in more request, and good and fine de-
scriptions have slightly advanced. Coffee, rice, and
cocoa have fully sustained former prices. For salt-
petre there has been a better demand, and British
refined has been dearer. Tallow, however, has con-
tinued dull, P.Y.C. on the spot being quoted 48s. 3d.,
last three months' delivery 495. 6d., and spring
ditto 495. 9d. per cwt,
Not the slightest variation is perceptible in the
condition of the Money Market, or the tendency of
the rates of discount. There is no perceptible dimi-
nution in the available balances, and the mercantile
Community are thus enabled to provide for all their
requirements on terms ranging fully g per cent.
below the minimum of the Bank of England. Even
with the facilities they now offer, the joint-stock
and private establishments are unable to provide
employment for more than a portion of the means
at their command.

The receipts on the Great Western Railway of
Canada for the week ending the 29th ult. are £791
18s. Bd. larger than in the corresponding period last
year.

Two o'CLocK.
The Liverpool cotton market to-day was dull and
drooping; sales small.

The Paris funds to day better than yesterday.
Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 69f. 80c.
There has been very little alteration in the
market for Public Securities to-day, a few trans-
actions having failed to influence prices more than
1-16th per cent. Consols are about 933 1 for money,
and 931 a for the Bth proximo. Speculation con-
tinues dull, and there is comparatively little de-
mand for stock for investments. The New Threes
and the Reduced are 921-; Long Annuities, 15;
and Exchequer Bills, June, 20s. prem.; India 5
per Cents., are 1091 1-; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced
Paper, 111,3, ; and ditto Debentures, 1009,
About an average business has been negotiated
in the Foreign Stock Market to-day, and the
changes, with one or two exceptions, have not
been important. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854, are
85 86; ditto, 1858, 67 672; and the New Loan, 2
to 11,- dis,, showing little change. The Consolides
are rather flatter, viz., 341 1-; Egyptian are 902 91-1, and the second issue, 7 prem. ; Mexican have
improved a, viz., to 311 8 ; the Peruvian Loan is
marked 8 dis. ; and the Portuguese is nominally 21-,
prem.; and the Russian, I t prem. ; Spanish Pas-
sive are 198; Italian 5 per Cents., 699 70k.
Business in the Railway Share Market has con-
tinued moderately active, and prices still tend up-
wards. Great Northern, Manchester, Sheffield,
and Lincoln, and South-Easterns have improved
ss. ; and Great Easterns and North British, 10s.
Caledonian, North-Western, South-Western, and
Midlands, sustain about previous rates.
In the Foreign Market there is little variation.
Bahia and San Francisco realise 20; Great Luxem-
bourg 141 ; and South Austrian and Lombardo-
Venetian have receded to 221.
The Colonial lines are firm. Madras 5 per Cents.
have improved to 1021; and Great Indian Penin-
sula to 103.
Joint-stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
continue dull, but Without material change in
values. Oriental Bank have improved to 531 4 ;
and London and County to 361 37; General Steam
Navigation realise 26*.

ARCHXOLOGTCAL DISCOVERY.—In the beginning
of this year the Prussian Government sent a number of
archasolists and artists to Athens, in order to examine the
Acropolis, the Pnyx, the Agora, the old walls of the city,
andhe the ports of Cantharus, Mxnichia, and Phalerea.
They arrived at some interesting results, but not equal to
thosye
. tained by M. Strack, the King's architect, who,
Prussian
acnootaffiisoi,l mission, had nevertheless joined the
m of Athens
as an amateur. In 1859, the Archse-
logical Society
Athens had caused excavations to be
made at no very
great depth on a spot once occupied by the
theatre of Bacchus,
whereby
a few worn-out worn out steps
cut in a
for rock were brought
Ai otlight. With this slight indi-
cation a guide, .
sek
of the theatre to
succeeded in making a
plan of the probable dimensions
guide him in further researches. In
March last he
discovered anoth
ander series
of steps in ')s 'enexcellent
preservation, SIX weeks later seventeen
of steps and three staircases belonging to the
is buuildi rows
ng,
which dates from the time of Themistocles. Nor is all.
On the three lower rows, as well as in. front of the lowest,
of the personage fogr
58 marble seats have made their appearance, each hearin
an inscription stating the dignity
whom it was intended. M. Daveluy, director of the French
school at Athens, has just sent to Paris a plaster cast of
the central seat, the most remarkable of all by its dimen-
sions and the sculpture with which it is adorned. On the
back of the seat there is the mutilated figure of a faunns.
The legs of tha seat are curved, and end in the shape of
lion,s paws and claws. The front above the legs is deco-
rated With a frieze, representing men and griffins. whose
attitudes bear a striking resemblance to the Assyrian bas-
re at the Louvre. Below there is an inscription denot-
e seat was reserved for the priest of liacohuL
