DUBLIN.-The Queen's movements in her Irish capital
eelsee i completely absorbed public attention. Nothing
re spoken or dreamt of. Politics have lost their
rtu, and all Dublin is just now in a state of feverish
excitement between the royal movements and the Great
ffaxhibition.
REPUDIATION OF TURKISH BILLS.-It is understood
thatL some bills, to the amount of 40,0001., drawn on
_cdon, on account of a loan professed to be made to
the Turkish Government by some parties interested in a
se n_enle for the creation of an establishment to replace
the Bank of Constantinople, have been returned pro-
tested for non-acceptance.
The advicea from St. Petersburg are to the 24th of
august, and report no particular alteration in commer-
tal affairs. The rate of exchange was again a shade
88 unfavourable for this country.
BRITISH MUSEUM.-This establishment was yesterday
°lased until the Bth inst when the hours will be from
10 till 4 o'clock.

final settlement of the Turkish dispute, the English

'winch was followed, however, by a sudden arid rather
severe reaction. Consols, which left off yesterday at

great scarcity of money was caused by the unexpected
calling in of loans, and an impression having been thus
created that the Bank of England may resolve to-morrow
to •
incrsa9e their rate of discount to 4 per cent., an im-
Mediate and serious fall took place, from which the ulti-
!nate recovery was very slight. A sale of 60,0001. stack
11 the Government brokers, which proved to be on ac-
Count of savings banks, also increased the downward
movement, and, after transactions had taken place at
7i, the closing quotation was 97i.
