MONEY MARKET•

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Bank of England return, completed to the
7th instant, is of a satisfactory character. There is
a large increase in the reserve of notes, and the bul-
lion has also been slightly augmented, while a con-
siderable diminution is apparent in the other secu-
rities. The public deposits, owing to the active
collection of the revenue, show a large increase, but
the private balances necessarily exhibit a diminution.

There is no change in the: money market.
The withdrawals of gold from the Bank of Eng-
land, and the expectation that the movement will
increase through the transmission:of the Foreign loans
lately obtained, induce a feeling of greater reserve
among the banks and discount prices. Neverthe-
less first class bills are still negociable under the
minimum of the Bank of England.
The bar silver by the Atrato from the West Indies
has been sold at ss. lid. per oz. standard.
At the Bank of England yesterday there was an
influx of £12,000, while £50,000 was withdrawn
for Turkey. _

The Panama which left to-day for the Brazils took
out £105,000 in specie.

There was rather more activity in the Liverpool
Cotton Market yesterday, but prices continued
depressed. The sales were 5,000 bales.
During the last few days.the Foreign and Colo-
nial Produce Markets have exhibited considerable
animation. Sugars have been in good demand at
enhanced prices, while good and fine qualities of
coffee haVe been eagerly sought for at a further
advance. Rice, however, continued inactive, at
about previous quotations. For saltpetre there has
been an active demand; andquotations tend upwards.
Tallow remains at about previous rates, for both
present and forward delivery.
An instalment of 15 per cent. becomes due to-
morrow on the Egyptian Loan.

_xIIBTEIATLING A CASE of GOLD WATCHES FROM THE
lor.r.—A native of Switzerland, named Robert
Lukay, was this morning placed before Mr. Arnold' at the
Iffcharged with
estminster Police Court, stealing a case of
valuable gold w tches and otherr er
p ty f
Inter-
national Exhibition. One of the Swiss Commissioners
the
said
the prisoner was engaged as an engineer in that department,
old one of the exhibitors sent property from Switzerland,
(amongst which was a small case of gold watches, amongst
which was a bracelet containing a watch. On the case
being missed the police were communicated with, and the
bracelet was found to have be€n pawned at Mr. Whistler's,
in the Strand, whose assistant picked the prisoner out
amongst a number of persons as the man who had pawned
the watch. He was remanded until Wednesday next.
Some workmen engaged in repairing the Church
cf Saint Sernin, at TolJuse, were alarmed the day before
3 esterday by the noise of a heavy fall, and, on proceeding
to ascertain the cause, found that a man had fallen from the
outer spire through the roof of the transept, and lay on
the arched ceiling just under it. The injuries received
were so great that the unfortunate man expired a few
minutes after. The body was recognised as that of M. Louis
Soulie, a painter of considerable talent, residing at Tou-
louse, but whether his death was the result of accident or
suicido remains a mystery.

THINGS NOT GENERALLY KNOWN.—People may
not be generally aware of it, but, if Mr. Cowper is to be be-
tieved, Big Ben is altered in tone; they have raised him to
33-quiet.—Punch.

An interesting discovery of old coins and jewelry
was wade at Rouen the day before yesterday by workmen
engaged in levelling the ground in the new streets. Two
men, who were taking up the pavement on a spot which
was fermerly the courtyard of the Hotel de la Pomme-de-
Pin, in: the Rue Saint-Jean, were surprised by finding a
number• of gold coins under the stones. They were about
the size of a sou-piece, and most of them French, of the
reigns of Louis XI., Louis XII., Francois. 1., and Francois
11. Some, few bore the arms of Dauphiny, while others
were Spanish, of the reigns of Charles V. (from 1516 to
1555). Near them was a handsome gold chain, about two
foot long, to which was attaches a large gold medallion,
+Mt heads in precious stones. The chain appears to have
belonged to a Spanish grandee of the 16th century, and
.we ighs nearly 150 gramn2es (.50z.). This treasure, the total
value of which as old metal is about 1,200 fr., will be sold
by auction, and divided according to law ; one-half of the
proceeds going to the present owner of the ground, the
other halt to the Were, .
