CITY NEWS---THIS DAY.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
There is not the slightest alteration to notice in
the general aspect of the Money Market ; the in-
quiries, which are moderate, being readily supplied
upon terms still ranging as low as 21 per cent. The
joint-stock banks and private discount firms make
a concession to the extent of 1 per cent., and, in
eAceptional cases, even of 1 per cent„ in order to
secure business, which they otherwise would not if
the rates in the open market were equal to the
official minimum of the Bank of England.
The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up
to this day, are in round figures t►s under :

These returns are generally of a satisfactory
character. On the Great Western there is an in-
crease of £5,022, on the North-Western of £6,245,
on the South-Western of £2,097, on the Brighton
of £1,610, on the Midland of £375, on the South-
Eastern of £1,911, on the Great Northern of £4,158,
on the North-Eastern of £246, and os the Great
Eastern of £6ll. The Lancashire and Yorkshire,
however, shows a decrease of £246 ; the Manchester,
Sheffield, and Lincoln, of £1,141 ; and the Great
Western of Canada, of £72.

From the official return issued to-day it appears
that the revenue of the South Austrian and Lom-
bardo-Venetian lines (extending over 1,203 miles)
during the week ending the 28th ult. was L 53,746,
or £10,910 less than the company received in the
same time in 1861. On the Central of Italy branch
from Piaisance to Bologna, a distance of 91 miles,
the receipts were 4,341, against £3,267, in the
same period of last year.
A public meeting was held in Manchester last
evening on the question of obtaining cotton from
India. A resolution was adopted calling upon the
Government to construct roads, canals, railways,
bridges, to make the rivers navigable, and to open
out India forthwith so as to enable our merchants
to obtain cotton in sufficient quantities to compete
with America. A commission of enquiry to be in-
stituted by Parliament was also advocated as the
best means to ensure immediate results.

The death of Mr. Brodie M'Ghie Willcox, M.P.
for Southampton, and chairman of the Peninsular
and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, was an-
nounced in the City this morning. The death of
the hon, gentleman was occasioned by the accidental
fall of a branch of a tree, the lopping of which he
Was directing at his estate in Essex.
