to that Egyptian, nor to the superiority of European tactics, but

This morning opened
Until the uncertainty that still hangs over the
circumstances attendant on the Emperor ALEX-
Atinza's death, shall be dissipated by authentic
details of that event, the Stock Market will re-
main, in what is technically termed, afidgettystate.
Consols began at 80-i 1, declined to 80,1-, ad-
vanced to 801 and at one o'clock, were quoted
at the opening price, 80H. The transactions
of the morning have been neither numerous, nor
of heavy amount. Reduced threes have fluctuated
from 79-1 to 78824 and the 3 per cents. from
854 to 87— SCSI 1.
The Bank of England may, perhaps, be now
pronounced to have passed the severe ordeal
to which it has been exposed. Gold is
certainly returning, particularly from the Bank-
ers, in a larger proportion than the issues, and
the daily supply from the Mint, is quietly depo-
sited in the coffers. At what period this esta-
blishment may be subjected to a similar manifes-
tation of public opinion, it were futile to conjec-
ture. Experience may perhaps teach the
folly, of again forcing money on the pub-
lic. At Manchester and other places the
Bankers have already followed the example of
the Bank its advancing the rate of interest
to five per cent. A more decisive proof of
the real cause of the disastrous state in
which tile Country has been involved, could
not be he given. If it be asked, what reason
existed for the reduction of interest from 5 to
4 per cent., which does not now exist—the ques-
tion could be answered, only by referring to that
impolitic determination, to make money cheap,
in which the Minister and the Bank so heartily
co-operated. A notification has, at last, been
issued byMessrs.WEwrwoßTm and Co. announcing
the impossibility of resuming business. We never
for a moment viewed it as being within poss.-
bility—and the reaction in those places where
the notes of this Bank were received in pay-
ment since the stoppage, will suffer a most se-

8011

vere reaction.
The stoppage of another Bank in a more
Northern County, is confidently stated. At
Brighton, there has been a strong► excitement of
the public mind against paper, which, however,
does not appear to have been productive of any
fatal consequences.
The
general tendency of the market appears
to be that of a still further decline in Consols.
