MONEY MARKET

AN D

COMIILY.aCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Notwithstanding the quietude of almost all kinds
of business there is a full inquiry for discounts. But
this is chiefly attributable to the securities due to-
day, the 4th of the month. Full rates are charged
In the open market, and the consequence is that the
Inquiries at the Bank of England are rather heavy.
Payments aro still in progress for new companies to
Which the public so liberally subscribed.
Tho weekly return published this morning by the
Lank of England is unsatisfactory. The reserves
of the establishment have been further diminished,
and the private deposits also show a large reduc-
tion. The following are the particulars

The alterations in the Bank of France returns
Published this morning are unfavourable. The bills
discounted have been augmented £720,000, while
the bullion has been decreased £40,000, and the
notes in circulation £B,OOO. The advances on
Stock have also been lessened £B,OOO, but the Trea-
sury balance has been increased £50,000, and the
current accounts £792,000.
The report of the European Bank to be presented
on the 7th inst. shows an available total of £29,685,
and recommends an interim dividend at the rate of
5 per cent. per annum, and that £3,200 should be
Written off premises and preliminary expense ac-
counts, leaving £10,104 to be carried forward.
The report of the London and Glasgow Engineer-
ing and Iron Shipbuilding Company, to be pre-
sented on Thursday next, for the 15 months since
the commencement of business, shows, after deduct-
ing the interim dividend in February at the rate of
6 per cent. per annum, and £l,OOO from preliminary
exPenses, a balance of £4,813, out of which a divi-
dend and bonus at the rate of about 10 per cent.
Per annum are recommended, leaving £1,617 to be
carried forward.

The directors of the St. John d'El Rey Mining
Company (Limited) have received the following
report, dated Morro Volho, Ist July, 1865:
Produce, 11 days of June, 2d division, 11,595
oitavas ; yield, 6,476 oitavas per ton. The produce
during this period has been unfavourably affected
by the imperfect action of the pumps, impeding the
'linking, and also by the occurrence of three holi-
days, during which the native borers did not work.
Amongst the many now companies that have
been placed before the public none possesses greater
attraction than that of the Menai Park and Hotel
Company, the object being to purchase the freehold
estate of the North-Western Company on the edge
of the Menai Straits, in Carnarvonshire, and to de-
vote a great portion of it to the purposes of a first-
Class hotel, with appropriate baths, gardens, and
Pleasure-grounds ; also for taking a lease for a long
term of the refreshment-rooms to be erected by the
railway company at their Menai-bridge station,
and to manage them in connection with the pro-
Posed hotel. To meet the views of the directors of
the new company the directors of the North-Wes-
tern have undertaken to improve the Menai Station
and maintain it in the first class, at which four-
fifths of all passenger trains will stop. Taking the
Picturesque features of Carnarvonshire with its in-
vigorating climate into consideration, the one great
Want to make it the resort of the thousands of
tourists was that which the new company propose
to supply, viz., a large, commodious, and comfort-
able hotel. The whole of the estate, which amounts
to about 80 acres, not being required for the hotel,
gardens, and bathing places, the directors wisely
intend to devote a portion of it to building purposes,
as the demand for private residences in that favoured
locality has long been a matter of notoriety. Tak-
ing a comprehensive view of the new scheme, it
seems calculated to prove one of the best specula-
tions put forward during the last few months.
The second half-yearly meeting of the Oriental
Financial Corporation was held to-day. The re-
Port stated that against the item of £191,570,
under the head of advances on securities, the Cor-
poration holds collateral security of the nomi-
nal value of £333,585, also that it has
Peen
deemed advisable to write off, a farther
amount of £l,OOO from the preliminary expenses,
reducing the amount to the credit of profit and loss
the 30th June to £11,372. The directors do not
recommend an ad interim dividend for the last half-
Year, unless de-sired by the shareholders. Since the
report
was printed the directors state they are in a
Position to lay before the members a proposed
amalgamation with another company, for which
Purpose a meeting is called.
Markets
in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
during the last few days has been rather
Inactive. The public sales of tea have concluded,
and in some instances prices have been a shade
over. Sugars have barely sustained former rates,
Ihile coffee, although in fair request, has been
rather cheaper. The demand for rice has improved,
but the enhanced rates demanded by holders has
tended to check business. Tallow has remained in
;urdeinand at steady prices for both present and
ward delivery.

Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent, Reutee were
67f. 95c. Heavy.

The prices of English Stock showed a very ad-
verse tendency during the earlier hours of business.
The unfavourable returns published by the Banks
of England and France occasioned a decline in
the funds of -/ per cent. This movement induced
buyers to come forward, and the consequence was
a full recovery, Consols now being 891 3 for money
and account, and 90 3 for September. The New
3 per Cents. are 891 ; and Reduced Annuities,
893 1 ; ditto Red Sea Telegraph, 19 13-16 ; Bank
Stock, 246 8 ; and India 5 per Cents., 105.

has occurred. Turkish Consolides are 491 50 ;

21 ; Spanish Passive, 283 1; Certificates, 13/ 4 ;
Italian, 64 4 ; and the Confederate Loan, 7 9.
American Securities are buoyant. United States
Government 6 per Cent. 5-20 Bonds, are 68 3 ;
Erie shares, 531 54 ; and Illinois, 783 79.
Business in the Railway Share Market has been
moderately active, and prices generally are a shade
firmer. South Eastern have improved ss. ; and
North Eastern (Berwick), North Western, and
Great Western, each 10s. ; while Metropolitan have
declined 10s., and Great Northern A Stock,
The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without
change of importance.

A DOCTOR CHARGED WITH NEGLECT.--At Wool-
wich, yesterday, Mr. Carttar held an inquiry into
the circumstances attending the death, during her con-
finement, of Mary Ann Cockland, aged 35, wife of a ser-
geant in the sth Brigade Royal Artillery. Onithe 28th
ult. the woman was confined with her eighth child. She
was attended by a properly certified army nurse, but a
difficulty arising which necessitated the attendance of a
medical man, her husband was to seek one. Applying
first at the Female Hospital, he did not succeed in obtain-
ing the aid required ; he then went to the General Hos-
pital, but here Dr. White, who was on duty, being pre-
vented, under military regulations, from leaving the hos-
pital, could not himself render assistance. Ho referred
the sergeant to Dr. Fletcher, the 'surgeon off duty. To
him the husband went. The doctor was at moss, and he
declined to attend, recommending the applicant to obtain
other assistance. Then Sergeant Cockland applied to Dr.
Prater, of Woolwich, who, ignoring any conflict of duty
with the military duties under the circumstances, went
immediately. But he found that the infant had been born
for some hours, and the mother lay suffering
for want of medical attention. She expired ten
minutes after the doctor's arrival, during an operation
which he found it necessary to perform. The
immediate cause of death was apoplexy from cerebral con-
gestion. Dr. Fletcher was ordered under arrest, pending
the coroner's inquest. The jury recorded the subjoined
verdict :—" We find that Mary Ann Cockland died from
apoplexy, brought on by the want of necessary medical
attention in her confinement, and consider Dr. Fletcher
severely censurable in not attending when requested."
THE COBDEN MEMORIAL—The fund for erecting
a metropolitan memorial to the Into Mr. Cobden progresses
but slowly. A good site has been granted by the St. Pan-
cras vestry at the entrance to Camden-town; but the sub-
scriptions at present received amount to only £250
