The American treaty with Japan had been duly
sigu ed.
The Pekin, Gazette acknowledges the formidable
nature of the insurrection. 40,000 rebels had gone
northwards from Nankin.
The Abergeldie, Rapid, and Hygeia, had been
lost ; the latter had 500 emigrants on board, 370
of whom were left on the wreck, and were sup-
posed to have perished of starvation.

AIONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWO o'CLOCK.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
estimated at 6,000 bales, all to the trade. The
market closed tamely but steadily, with less anxiety
to sell. The sales comprised 5,000 American, 400
Egyptian at Gil to 11d., and 500 Surat at 3d. to
4i-d. per lb. Railway Shares were quiet.
The steamer Canada, from New York, arrived
with 321,588 dollars, and 6001. in specie. The
commercial accounts notice a moderate demand
for breadstuffs, and stocks being light an advance
had taken place in prices. There was a good busi-
ness doing, at the latest date, iu provisions. Gro-
ceries were steady, and cotton firm. Freights to
Europe and California were dull. Money con-
tinued easy, and the last weekly return of the
City banks indicated an abundance of capital.
These establishments were discounting freely, and
the impression prevailed that the Mesilla Val-
ley money would remain for some time in
their vaults without interest. Every endeavour
should now be used by the holders of the Foreign
Mexican debt to induce Santa Anna, while the
money is still in New York, to assign a portion for
the liquidation of dividends in arrear, for when it
finds it way into the Treasury of the Republic, it
will speedily be absorbed, so many are the claims
upon it, and so urgent the necessities of the
Government.

There were considerable supplies of new home-
grown wheat at Mark-lane to-day, of quality re-
markably fine ; prices gave way in consequence
from Bs. to 10S. per quarter as compared with the
quotations of this day week.
On the contrary the corn markets come firm from
Amsterdam and Antwerp, more especially in the
latter port, on Saturday last, with short stocks and
little offering. A parcel of rye had been sold at
9i florins per 70 'kilogrammes for delivery next
month, and for immediate delivery at Eq florins.
New red home-grown wheat had been sold, how-
ever, at 14 florins per 80 kilogrammes, but from
thence up to 161- florins ; and Polish ordinary at
15, for delivery in December.
The fall in the price of cereals at Mirk-lane,
with the growing as3urance of an extraordinary
harvest, has had the natural tendency of en-
hancing the prices of public securities in the stock
market. In Con4.ols this morning the improve-
ment has been equal to per cent., which, con-
sidering the absence of so large a proportion of the
dealers at the seaside and abroad, is a material ad-
vance. For transfer the quotations now are 94i-
to and for account 941 to 4. Reduced Threes,

premium, the transactions having chiefly ranged
from 2s. to 4s. premium. Exchequer Bonds of
1858 at 98a, of 1859 at 98/. It is to be remarked,
withal, that the business has been of but limited
extent, notwithstanding the upward tendency of
stock values noted.
It is stated that Messrs. Trouv6-Chauvel and
Stanley, on the part of the Oriental Bank, have
lodged a protest with the committee of the Stock
Exchange against the negotiation of the Turkish
loan, and requesting that body to prohibit its quo-
tation in their daily official lists of prices, which
would be tantamount to the interdiction of all re-
cognisable dealings in it in the house. It has not
yet transpired what resolution may have been come
to on the subject, but as this is the day for com-
mittee meetings, the result may be known to-mor-
row if a sufficient number of members can be got
together to form a board. The objection mainly
and most prominently urged against the loan refers
to the Egyptian tribute assigned as security for the
payment of interest upon it, wrongfully, as it is, as-
serted, and in prejudice of the prior legal claim to
that tribute as previously assigned to the Oriental
Bank, and such assignment never revoked by the
Turkish Government.

The business transacted in Foreign securities has
been confined to half-a-dozen bargains, and quota-
tions, consequently, are for the most part nominal.
The Turkish Scrip is flatter at 54 to 61 premium.
Spanish Three per Cents. are quiet at 37, and the
New Deferred at 18. The Brazilian Five per Cents.
are marked 101.
There is rather more dein°. in Railway Shares,
and prices all tend upwards by sympathy with
Consols. In some instances the advance is 1 per
cent. The Foreign fines are dull, but at fully the
previous values.
For the Mining, Banking, and Land Shares there
is but little inquiry.

THE TURKISH LOAN.—The Jews have cause for
congratulation upon the fact that one of the two parties
contracting this loan is one of their body, the venerable
Sir Isaac Goldsmith This Jew has joined a Christian
(Mr. Horsley Palmer) in advancing money to a liberal
country, which, now aided by the two most civilised and
powerful nations in the universe, England and France, is
struggling to assert her rights against an invader, who,
if successful, would trample not only the rights of Tur-
key, but of every nation that he could grasp. As Jews
especially, we rejoice that one of our co-religionists is
thus assisting in supplying the sinews of war to a Go-
vernment which is disposed to grant civil and religious
liberty to all creeds, including the Jews, against a tyran-
nical despot, who dares recklessly to sacrifice human
life to his unbounded ambition and aggrandisement, and
who, under the mask of defending orthodox Christianity,
. sheds the blood of Turks, Christians, and Jews, esped.
