NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.

The supplies of country-killed meat here to-day were
seasonably good, but those slaughtered in the metropolis
were very moderate. Prime beef, mutton, Teal, and pork
sold steadily, at full prices. Otherwise the demand was
in a sluggish state.

BOROUGH HOP.

The imports of foreign hops into London last week were
again largo, viz., 775 bales from Ostend, 231 from Rotter-
dam, 106 from Dunkirk, 607 from Hambro', 426 from
Antwerp, 8 from Havre, 89 from Calais, and 40 from New
York. These large arrivals have depressed our market, and.
new hops are selling as follows :
Mid and East Kent pockets, 161 16s to 21/ Os ; Weald o 1
Kent ditto, 151 15s to 161 10s ; Sussex ditto, 151 Os t4a
151 15s per cwt.
The oil duty has been declared at very little ovor
47,0001.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
The supply of home-grown potatoes ou sale in thes
markets are very moderate, but in excellent condition.
The imports from abroad have amounted to only 26 bags ,
4 baskets from Amsterdam, 10 bags from Hambro',
baskets from Rotterdam, and 14 hampers from Amster-,
dam. A steady business is doing, as follows :—Regents,,
80s to 95s ; Shaws, 75s to 85s ; Blues, 80s to 85s per ton.

MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE'.

CITY, TWO o'CLOCK

_ .
The sales of cotton at Liverpool on Saturday
were estimated at 7,000 bales, including 1,500
American taken for export and on speculation.
The market closed steadily without change in
prices. The sales comprised 6,000 American, 250
Pernam and Maranham at Md. to 7/d., 100 Egyp-
tian at 51d. to 6/d., 700 Surat at 3d. to 34d., and
800 Sea Island at Is. 2d. to ls. 7d. per lb. Rail-
way Shares were firmer.
Wheat and barley are 2s. lower.

The Corn Markets abroad were, at the latest
date, generally on the decline, especially in Bel-
gium, and the decree of the French Government
Prohibiting the distillation of grain has an impor-
tant influence already. In Belgium and Holland
the distilleries will be set more actively to work
than ever, and barley is expected to rise consider-
ably in those countries, as the exports of spirits to
France, now the duties are lowered, will be on a
most extensive scale. In mercantile circles here
such interference is deprecated as being inconsis-
tent with our free-trade policy ; and, however ne-
cessary or judicious in France, it seems to be the
view that nothing should be done here. The
poorer classes have a better chance of obtaining
cheap food in France, and this goes far in securing
political tranquillity.
Two or three ships have arrived from Australia,
and they bring gold, but the amount is not yet
known. The dates are not so recent as those
already to hand.
From the Continent the mercantile advices are
of no permanent interest. The commerce of Bel-
gium during the first nine months of this year,
Compared with 1853, shows a slight decrease in the
Customs duties. The imports of wheat give the
total at 15,708,850 kilogrammes over the quantity
to the same date in 1853.

The arrangement made by the Government at
Vienna with the French Association of Capitalists
for forming railways in the Austrian empire seems
to be very judicious, and such as can be carried
out. The concession is for 90 years, and the lauds
ceded in the neighbourhood are given in perpetuity.
A sum of 200 million francs is to be paid within
3 Years for the concession and privileges. A mini-
Ilium interest of 5 per cent. is guaranteed upon the
capital.

The English Funds have been buoyant, and
there is an advance of another to I per cent. The
promising news from the Crimea, with the decline
this morning in the price of grain and the abund-
ance of money, all have a favourable influence.
Consols have been 94i to for transfer, and 941 to
95 for account. The New 3 per Cents. have been

progress.

Foreign Stocks are not at present very much
influenced by the advance iu Consols, and the
business has been of a general character, and ex-
tended, in small amounts over different securities.

CHURCH OP ENGLAND SCRIPTURE READERS' ASSOCIA-
TION.—Yesterday morning the Rev. R. Short, M.A. ,
solicited the liberality of a most numerous congregation,
at St. Bride's Church, Fieet-street, on behalf of this
society: The rev. gentleman took for his text Ephesians,
c. ii., v. 19, and in the course of his sermon said that
the funds of the society would not allow them to send
sufficient labourers to carry the light of the gospel to
those who were either unable, er unwilling, to read the
Scriptures themselves. The rev. gentleman's appeal was
met by -a liberal subscription at the close of the service.
The Rev. W. M. Mungeam, 8.A., preached in the even-
ing .on behalf of the same association, as did also the
Rev. C: J. Goodhart, at Park Chapel. Sermons were
also delivered at St. John's, and St. Pancras, James's
Chapel, in aid of the same society.
GREAT INDIAN PENINSULA RAILWAY COMPANY.—The
tenth half-yearly report of the directors of this company
to be submitted to the general body of shareholders on
the 31st inst., states that since the last half-yearly meet-
ing the second section of the railway has been opened
from Tannah to Callian, a distance of 12 miles, making
35 miles in operation between Bombay and Callian.
Surveys have been finished in a complete and satisfactory
manner for a distance of 600 miles from Bombay upon
the north-eastern extension, being 450 miles beyond the
point where former surveys were suspended. The direc-
tors have obtained the sanction of the East India Corn-
Pony to raise capital by the issue of debenture bonds,
and the Indian (government will join with the railway
,Company in a joint subscription thereto, for the guaran•
hoth prinriTtl and initPrl-st. The rryPil'/0 aocnurt
