MONEY MARKET.

CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY.

Numerous transactions have again taken place in
the Turkish Internal Stock at 29 to 30. This price
buys 100 medjidie of stock, but as the Turkish
medjidie is worth only 18s., it follows that the price
is equivalent to £3O for every £9O, or say 33 per
cent. It eannot be too clearly made known that the
interest on this stock is payable solely at Constan-
tinople, and in the Turkish gold currency or med-
jidie, which, as already stated, is worth at present
but 18s. per pound sterling. In this respect the
Turkish home debt of course differs essentially from
the Anglo-Turkish Bonds, the dividends on which
are payable in sterling and in London.
The dividends are advertised on Anglo-Peruvian
per Cent. Bonds. _ _

About £6,000 in gold was bought by the Bank
to-day. The outgoing steamer for the West Indies,
to leave on the 17th, will take about £420,000 on
account of the new Peruvian Loan. This amount
consists of Australian gold, which otherwise would
have been sent into the Bulk, the present level of
the exchanges not allowing a profit on the exporta-
tion of gold to the Continent.

Large insurances on gold from St. Petersburg
have just been effected, and a first sum of about
£200,000 is expected to arrive by the next steamer.
In consequence of the telegrams recently received
from Bombay, bar silver has been in much demand
for that presidency, and large sales have been
effected, first at 61td., and aftervnirds at 611 d. per
oz. At the latter rate the silver by the West India
mail has been disposed of, thus constituting a rise
of dd. on the price obtained for that by the pre-
vious packet.

In the Liverpool Cotton Market to-day prices
again showed an upward tendency, and the trans-
actions were considerable, reaching 12,000 bales.
In the foreign exchanges this afternoon the rate
upon Paris was a shade higher, hut the Vienna
:rate shows a slight recovery upon the advance
caf Tuesday last.

The steamer New York has brought £22,000 in
specie for England.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

Incnitsed dullness and depression have prevailed
in the onarket for the English Funds to -day, chiefly
in consectuence of the unsettled state of the weather
and the ii jury it is likely to inflict upon the grow-
ing crops. Consols are about § per cent. lower, viz.,
93 for trans fez- and 934 for the account. The New
Threes are ‘..`,3/ ; Reduced, 931; Exchequer Bills
:remain at 18s. to 21s. prem.; India Stock has re-
ended to 228; and ditto 5 per Cent. Loan is steady
at 108.
The chief fe,ature in the Foreign Market is a
further importaLit decline in Turkish Securities;
dealings have taken place in the 6 per Cents. of
1854, at 83± 82; of 1858, 71 69/ ; and in the
New Loan Scrip at; 24 die. ; Mexican St3ck is
steady at 28i; Egyptian paid-up Scrip is 94/ 95 ;
Grenada 2 per Cents. 261; Russian 5 per Cents.
96± 97 ; ditto New paid= up Scrip 93/ 1-; Spanish
54 ; and Italian 702..
The Portuguese Loan is 2f prem.; the Vene-
zuelan, par 4 prem. ; and the Peruvian 1/ to 1 dis.
In the Railway Share Mark;it the dealings
have been very limited, and a further downward
movement has taken place in prices. Great East-
crns and North Easterns have declined ss. ; Mid-
lands, lOs. ; North Eastern (Berwick), 165.; and
Great Western, £1 ; Great Northern, however, have
advanced £l. _

The Foreign and Colonial lines are in some in-
stances rather firmer. South Austrian and Lom-
bardo-Vonetian have improved to 22/ ; San Paulo to
; East Indian to 1048, 105 ; and Great Western
of Canada remain firm at 1217.

Joint-stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
e.thibit rather more firmness. London and South

101,1u3; and Peninsular and Oriental Steam to

THI LATE ACCIDENT AT HIGHBURY BARN.—
On inquiry to-day at St. Bartholomew's Hospital it was
stated that the unfortunate woman, " the Female Blondin," '
was still in a very precarious state. She is at present lying
in that part of the building known as the Queen's Ward,
under the care of Mr. Butler; but her sufferings are still so
acute that any surgical examination to discover the exact
amount of injury she has sustained is still impossible.
LUNATICS.—From a Parliamentary return issued
yesterday it appears that the number of persons who have
been certified by the Masters to be of unsound mind on an
inquiry without a jury, pursuant to the act 16 and 17 Vict.,
c• 70, is 555. The number of lunatics reported by the
Masters to the Lord Chancellor under the act 8 and 9 Vict.,
c. 100, s. 95, has been '33.

NEW SOUTH WALES.—DARING HIGHWAY GOLD
toßßEßy.—One of the most daring and extensive highway
robberies ever committed in this colony was perpetrated on
the afternoon of Sunday, June 15. Tbc, gold escort from
the Lachlan, in coming down towards Sydney, was attacked
by a notorious highwayman, named Gardiner, and a band
of twelve ruffians under his command. Drags had been
upset across the pathway. Here Gardiner planted his men,
'Whom he commanded with great skill and daring. Volley
after volley was fired at the troopers, until all were disabled,
'when the robbers secured the gold (amounting to £14,000
'worth), and also ransacked the letter bags. The police
War% immediately in pursuit, but have not as yet captured
alaY of the desperadoes. They were so hotly pursued, how-
ever, that a pack-horse belonging to them, having 1,500
°Unce s of gold tied on its back, was secured by the police.
Ciarditie,r has been for a long time the terrror of the
colony; his depredations were carried on in a wholesale
manner, It says little, however, for the police efficiency
°f Xtfw So uth Wales that such a number of men should be
4110 wed to prowl about, doing just as they like. Govern-
Oent has offered the insignificant reward of £lOO for the
capture ,DI each of the robbers, or a free pardon to any. o
ent tm-ning Queen's evidence; but Gardiner's men tre
not to be tempted by such paltry offers.
`` The agitation which prevails in the Italian
Iveninsulet," says a letter from Venice, "and the projects
attributed to Garibaldi, have decided the Austrian General
13eneclek to increase the military posts on the frontier."
