MONEY MARKET.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

No further specie operations of importance have
taken place at the Bank of England, but it is
expected that another wit'ulrawal of £400,000 in
sovereigns will be effected next week in connection
With the Turkish Loan. There is a probability,
moreover, of the general Efflux of specie being
augmented by the early despatch of a large supply
of gold to Spain. Under these circumstances many
parties anticipate a further increase in the rate of
discount.

At the Bank of England yesterday the transac•
tions in gold were unimportant.
The directors of the Recife and San Francisco
and Pernambuco Railway have made a further call
of £1 per share, payable on the 30th proximo.
An extraordinary meeting of the London and
Blackwall Railway Company has been called for
the 10th of June next, for the purpose of consider-
ing and determining upon the exercise of their
powers with reference to the raising of capital, the
cancelling of old and the creation of new shares, &c.
There was a much better inquiry for all descrip-
tions of cotton in the Liverpool market yesterday,
and prices advanced id per lb. The sales were esti-
mated at 8,000 bases.

At the first annual meeting to-day of the Malta
Gas Company, Mr. Edward Hawkins, jun., in the
chair, the directors' report referred to the progress
of the works in the town of Valetta, which are now
in efficient operation. It was the intention of the
directors to supply gas to the town of Corfu and
other places situated on the shores of the Mediter-
ranean, although for the present they would con-
fine their operations to Malta alone. A very eli-
gible site for new buildings had been purchased for
£1,860. It was proposed to set aside out of the
profits £l2O as a reserve fund to meet contingen•
cies, and they also proposed carrying the balance
remaining after payment of the dividend, and of
the interest or dividends due to late proprietors, to
the credit of a fund for equalising dividends to be
called the " dividend fund." The chairman con-
cluded by proposing that the report and accounts
be adopted, and that a dividend at the rate of 6 per
cent. be declared. The motion was unanimously
adopted, and the directors who retired from office
were duly re-elected.
The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up
to this day, are in round figures as under

NOTABILIA ON THE BALLOT DIVISION.—For the
first time the Government issued a whip, "particularly re-
questiug the attten.dance of their supporters on the motion
for the ballot." It is a subject worthy of inquiry whether
this was intended to rally the Liberal party to vote for the
ballot, or to secure an attendance of Liberal members un-
favourable to the ballot, and ready to follow Lord Palmer-
ston to vote against the ballot. The following Whigs
voted against the ballot :—Sir F. Baring, Sir T. Burke, A.
