MONEY MARKET.

CITY E W S—:YESTERDAY.
The discount market to-day was easier, and the
demand at the Bank comparatively slack, but the
rates ger.erally were maintained at to 2 per cent.
for good bills.

At Paris to-day the 3 per Cent. Rentes opened at
68.70, and closed flatly at 68.80 for money and 68.75
for the account, being nearly the same as yesterday.
At Paris and Berlin the rate of discount is now
per cent. ; at Vienna, 5 ; Hamburg, 21, ; Turin,
; Frankfort and Brussels, 22 ; Amsterdam, 3,1 ;
and at St. Petersburg, 51- per cent.
The Gazette specie statement for the week ending
Wednesday last gives the following totals, viz.:--
Imports of gold, £554,934 ; exports of gold,
£1,027,033 ; imports of silver, £63,887 ; expo/ is of
silver, £24,429.

A further sum of £120,000 in gold, principally
Australian, was sent into the Bank to day, while
50,000 sovereigns were withdrawn for Constanti-
nople, to pay, it is stated, for Internal Stock sold
here.

The next outward Bombay steamer, which will
leave on the 27th, is expected to tak€ a large amount
of specie, principally to pay for cotton.
The final instalment of 9 per cent. falls due on
the 27th inst. on Italian 5 per Cent. Maremmana
Rail way Loan for £1,338,000 sterling, negotiated
through Messrs. Hambro and Son in Feb. last.
The London and Middlesex Bank will commence
business on Sept. 1 under the management of Mr.
Terry.

The suspension was announced yesterday of
Messrs. Crabtree, Aked, and Co., of Liverpool, a
respectable firm in the Brazilian trade, with corre-
sponding Louses at Bahia and Pertiambuco. The
amount of their liabilities is not stated, but it is
probably rather considerable. The event is inferred
to have. been caused by losses from the failures of
other Brazilian houses which have occurred during
the, past month.
A deputation on behalf of Turkish Scrip-
holders, consisting of Messrs. R. W. Crawford,
M.P., W. T. D. Stephens, A. P. Lattey, and W.
and F. Froom, waited this afternoon on the Turkish
Minister on the subject of the present condition of
Turkish securities, and especially the new loan of
1862. His Excellency stated that the introduction
of the internal debt or Consolides on the London
market was entirely the result of operations by
private capitalists, and, therefore, that the Turkish
Government could not be reproached for any tem-
porary adverse effect created by their competition
With the scrip. The dividends on the Cons olides
are payable only in Constantinople, and )he secu-
rity of the holders is based on the general re-
venues of the Empire. He felt the most entire
confidence in their value, but English investors
must naturally prefer a security founded, as was
the loan of 1862, under international arrangements.
His Excellency finally remarked that he was not
aware of a single circumstance that should render
the holders of that loan less confident than they
Were when they subscribed for it.

easier tone has been perceptible.

The market for Public Securities opened this

ported, Consols being 931 for transfer, and 93k
for account ; no variation has since occurred, and
the quotations at the close indicated dulness. The

THE CONDEMNED PRISONER TAYLOR AND HIS
WIFE.—Mrs. Taylor has not yet left Liverpool; and in an
interview which she had with her husband yesterday, be-
fore he was removed to Kirkdale, he expressed a desire
that 2ho should not leave the town until after his execu-
tion, and with this wish she promised to comply. Taylor
himself manifests not the slightest contrition for the act
'which caused Mr. Meller's death, and in any allusion
Which he has since made to the subject he qualifies his con-
duct, and even intimates that under similar circumstances
he Would take the same part again. Mrs. Taylor's uncle
Was in Liverpool during the trial, and we understand still
remains in the town. The father, sister, and cousin of
Taylor visited him before the trial.
We understand that the Court of Inquiry valid,
hes been sitting in Dublin to investigate certain matters
connected with the Commissariat Department at the Curragh
has made its report, but that no ulterior proceedings have
been considered by the authorities to be necessary beyond
en admonition to the officers concerned to exercise greater
*vigilance over their subordinates for the future.--dirmy
