MOVEMENTS OF THE TURKISH TROOPS.

The Soldier's Freund of Vienna says :—" The first
Turkish troops passed the Sereth on the 12th ult. They
marched by the southern bank of the Moldon towards
the village of Satunon, which is on the Pruth, and
at which point, it is said, the passage into Bessarabia
will be effected.. The Turks have left detachments in all
the villages of Moldavia through which they have passed.
They thus form a long chain connected with the bulk of
the army. O❑ the 13th a salute of 21 gun■ was fired at
Ibrail in honour of the battle of Inkerman. A corps of
35,000 men is being concentrated in that town. The
Turks entered Tulteha on the 2d. The population was
much frightened, when the Russians departed, at the
number of vagabonds and laggards loft behind. Selina
had been pillaged after the departure of the Russians by
this multitude of thieves. The inhabitants of Tultcha
tor►ned themselves into a national guard to keep them
in awe."

MONEY- MARKET

AND
CO 11 MER CIA L IN TELL IGENCE.

CITY, TWO o'CLOCK.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday
were estimated at about 6,000 bales, including 400
Surat taken for expert. The market was tame,
but closed without change in prices. The sales
comprised 5,060 American, 50 Pernam and Maran-
ham at 6W. to Gad., 150 Egyptian at sd. to 70.,
and 700 Surat at 36d. to 4d. per lb. Railway
Shares were steady.
The parties interested in lighterage and in the
coasting trade feel much aggrieved at the attempt
of the dock companies to reverse the previous cus-
tom, and charge lighters and craft entering to re-
ceive ballast or goods with the payment of rates,
and a statement has been drawn up explanatory of
the grievance. From this we extract the fol-
lowing :

"The St. KathariLe's Dock Company, the East and
West India Dock Company, and the London Dock
Company have all given notice of bills, in which, amongst
other pecuniary arrangeieents, it is proposed to quote
the clause in the St. Katharine Dock Company's adver-
tisement as an example of the whole, to enlarge the
powers of the Dock Company with regard to the levying
of rates, in respect of lighters and other craft frequenting
or using the docks, basins, locks, or cuts of the company,
and in respect of the ballast or goods received by or dis-
charged from such lighters or craft, and to repeal all
provisions of the before-mentioned acts, or any of them,
whereby such lighter or craft, or the ballast or goods
received by or discharged therefrom, are now exempted
from the payment of rates to the said company.'
"A great transit trade is now carried on through the
port of London. Vessels are continually arriving from
the East Indies with linseed and other seeds, or from
various places with flour, grain, or other commodities, a
portion of which is transhipped to Holland or France.
By a late regulation which put an end to the claims of
the meters, all seeds and grain are now allowed to be
transhipped without measurement or paying dues of any
kind, from the ship which brought them into the river
to the ship which is to carry them away. Aided
by this change in the claims of the City, the transit
trade has latterly extended very much. It em-
ploys a great many labourers ; it employs ships ;
it brings ships hither which would otherwise go
to Holland or Belgium ; it supplies cargoes to the
screw steamers that keep up a continual communica-
tion with all the neighbouring continent ; it extends ge-
neral trade, and promotes the prosperity of all the peo-
ple along shore—wharfingers, storekeepers, publicans,
provision dealers, &c. If the dock companies levy a tax
on the lighters that remove these goods from the ships
or dock to the small vessels in the stream, and to the
wharves of individuals, to be put on board ships going
to the continent, they will inflict, we believe, a ruinous
blow on the transit trade. It is carried on in competi-
tion with Holland. We have latterly succeeded in this
competition, but if the companies lay their heavy hand
on the trade, it will, we believe, be very much dimi-
nished, if not annihilated. That will stop ships coming
to the docks. It will compel those who have an interest
in such cargoes to stipulate that they be unloaded in the
stream, and the dock companies will inflict a serious
injury on themselves."

The Foreign Exchanges were scarcely supported
yesterday afternoon. Paris, however, were firm
at 25 3241 to 371 for 90 days' paper. Amsterdam
was quoted 11 lif to 171 ; Hamburg, 13 5/ to 0 ;
and Trieste, 12 35 to 40.
In silver there has been nothing done, and the
price is nominal for both bars and dollars.
Accounts from Berlin state that many of the
bankers at Vienna had applied for allotments in
the Prussian loan, and that the total subscriptions
amounted to far more than the sum to be allotted.

From Athens we learn that the political and com-
mercial relations between Greece and Turkey had
been resumed, and that an ambassador had already
been appointed to proceed to Constantinople.
The Frankfort Journal positively denies that
there is any secret article to the new Treaty be-
tween Austria and the Allies.
In letters from Kisheneff, dated the 28th ult.,
it is asserted that the prohibition by Russia of the
exportation of wheat would ruin many Austrian
merchants who had entered into contracts after en-
gaging for supplies from the heavy stores accumu-
lated at Novoselitza.

The position of the National Bank of Belgium,
on the 30th ult., had changed but little compared
with October, the specie and circulation having
each been augmented about 2,000,000 francs.
The ship Phoenician has arrived from New South
Wales, with dates of August 31. These are not
so recent as others previously to hand. The
amount of gold on board is 4,204 ounces, 2,7501.
Partly owing to the settlement of the account,
which takes place to-morrow, and partly to the
strong impression in some quarters that peace is
to be patched up under the new Austrian
Treaty, public securities are still advancing. The
" options" come off this afternoon, and a good deal
of stock is likely to be " called" for. The parties
who sold lately are compelled to buy back, as the
Hebrew capitalists are investing apparently. The
closing of the transfer books, prior to the dividend
payments, and the assertion that Government will
require neither loan nor taxes for the present, also
encourages the Bulls. Consols have been 921 to
93 for transfer. The New 3 per Cents. have been
91 to 911. Bank Stock has been heavy at 208.
East India Stock has been firm at 234. Exche-
quer Bills have been 3s. to Gs. premium, and Ex-
chequer Bonds 991
The foreign securities have generally benefitted
by the advance in Consols, and altogether there is
a better feeling. Mexican have been done at 21i
and Peruvian at 67i to A. In these securities
there are more local circumstances to operate than
general matters. Brazilian New 4k per Cents.
have been at 921 a. Spanish 3 per Cents. have
realised 381 to 391 and the New Deferred
19k to The Committee's Certificate has been at
51 per cent. The advices from Madrid as to the
large majority obtained by the Ministry aro con-
sidered very satisfactory for the future prospects
of the bondholders. The Turkish Scrip is 6i
to per cent. discount.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 51 to 54 ; Mexi-
can, 21f (to 21i ; Peruvian, 67 to 69 ; ditto
3 per Cents., 47 to 49 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents.,
40 to 42 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 95 to 97 ; ditto
4i per Cents., 86 to 88 ; Spanish New Deferred,
191 to 19i ; ditto 3 per Cents., 381 to 39 ; ditto
Certificates, 5- to 51 ; ditto Passive, 41- to 41.
An improved market has existed for Railway
Shares, owing to the advance in other securities,
and the favourite lines were all higher. Bristol
aid Exeter have risen 1 to 1, Great Western about
1, Lancashire and Yorkshire to 1, and Midland,
North-Eastern, and Great Northern in proportion.
The Foreign lines have participated in the improve-
ment.

In Mining Shares there has been scarcely any-
thing doing, but nominally tlrey maintain the
previous rates. The Joint Stock Banks are without
alteration. In Miscellaneons shares there has been
rather more doing, but the quotations have not
risen generally.

THE Loss OF THE NILE. PLYMOUTH, Tuesday
lietking.—The following passengers for Penzance were
°n board the Nile :—Frederick Gruizelier, master ma-
liner of Scilly, and wife ; Edward Trewavas, mariner ;
and John Treweeke, and Joseph Ivens. The late master
the Nile (Mr. Perry) and his family were too late to
ini!l her at Liverpool.
Advices from Constantinople of the 20th of November
mention the safe arrival in the Bosphorus of the steam-
transport Melbourne, having the transport Cadaceus
in tow. The Melbourne rode out the gale at Balaklava
Without injury to her hull or machinery, but with the
1055 of masts, which she would get replaced at Constan-
tinople before returning to the Crimea.
Yesterday advices were received, under date Gibraltar
Nov. 27, that her Majesty's steamer Curagoa, in corn-
tanY with the Blake and Alipore transports, with
troop:, had arrived that day, and passed on for the
Crimea. Her Majesty's ship Curlew arrived on the 26th.
A special testimonial is intended to be presented to
the 23d 'Welsh Fusiliers for its gallant conduct at the
gl?riuus victory of the Alma. The fund on account of
!j;,ha” at present been collected from the Principality of
ales the_trustees being Lord Dynevor, Sir Watkin
Lynn, Bart., and Sir W. Wynn. The amount
received exceeds 1,124/.
