Great disappointment was manifested this morning among
the merchants and all parties connected with America and
the Canadas, by the non-arrival of the Great Western
steam-ship from New York, which place she was advertised
to leave on the 22d ult. ; but as she is not in this morning,
it is the general opinion that she did not leave before the
24th or 26th. If such is the case, she will not be in for a
day or two.
The Hamburgh mail has just arrived with the letters
and papers of the 4th, on which day the Five per Cent,
Metalliques were quoted at 1024 103.
The Comtnissioners purchased 4,000 of the Three per
Cent. reduced at 924.
A slight improvement has taken place in Consols, and
they may now be quoted at 93-a a ;
Exchequer Bills are
65 ; India Bonds 63 ; and Bank Stock 904 —. •
No variation in the Foreign Market. -
The business doing in the Share Market is not worthy
of notice.

TIMEE O'CLOCK
Consols for the Account, Aq

A Hampshire Paper announced the other day that
70,000/. " had been recovered from the wreck of the Lady
Charlotte, sunk on the west coast of Ireland for the benefit
of the underwriters." One cannot help thinking that to
sink the Lady Charlotte in ten fathoms water on the west
coast of Ireland was a very odd thing to do " for the be-
nefit" of the underwriters• But Ireland is so veer a place
that even its coast is the scene of much queerer things than
happen anywhere else. The cool dry manner in which
the Hampshire Paper relates this odd occurrence in ten
fathoms water Shows a more than English aptitude fPY
pleasantrz.
