by a downy agent of the Surrey Zoological Gardens),
and &ding it was all up with him, regularly signed
articles, and was last seen in latitude 40 deg. 29 sec., in-
quiring his way to the above establishment. —By
Electric Telegraph :—The Sea Serpent has been seen off
Margate, making head-way (against a stron curreut
which had set iu against him) for the Surrey Citudeng•_,

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. •
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 9,000 bales, including 4,000 on speculation.
The sales include 200 Pernam, &c., at sd. to 6d.;
1,000 Bahia, at sid. to 6d.; 300 Egyptian at 64d. to 61d.;
and 500 Surat at 34d. to 44d. per lb.—Railway Shares
were not quite so good.
The supply of Grain in Mark-lane to-day comprises
6,46o•quarters of foreign Wheat, and only 670 of English.
There are 19,350 quarters of foreign Oats on sale.
The markets for ct lonial and other produce have been
generally very well supported this week, and there has
been a good business done in the primary staples, in-
cluding Sugar, Coffee, and Spices. Coffee has been
looked after more by speculators, especially Ceylon.
Articles used for manufacturing purposes have had a
good sale, and Cotton has been extensively dealt in at
higher prices. The deliveries of Tea this year show an
increase in the metropolis of about 2,000,000 lbs., while
the stock is smaller to the same extent.
The continental Stock Alarkets appear to be rather
dull. At Paris yesterday less was doing, and prices
were leebler. At Amsterdam on Wednesday there was
very little alteration, and Spanish and Portuguese were
dull, while Russian was in favour. The Vienna quota.
tions of the Austrian Metalliques were on the 18th
instant 94.
The harvest reports from abroad continue vety
cheering.
It is stated in accounts from Resiia that the stock of
specie in the Caisse d'Expedition for the redemption of
bank notes having become reduced, it had been deemed
necessary to replace it, and to convey thither fire
millions of silver roubles from the fortress a
St. Petersburgh. Accordingly this was done in the
presence of numerous persons, and under a military
escort. The amount was made up by 3,000,000
roubles in silver and 2,060,000 in gold. Sub-
sequently a Council was held. The amount was
verified in presence of the leading native and foreign
merchants, and Prince Alexander Ivanovitsch Tscher-
myscheff signed the " Acte" declaring, among other
matters, that the sum remaining in the vt ults of St.
Peter and St. Paul, after the drawing of the 5,000,060 of
roubles, was 101,528,595 roubles.
There has been some further correspondence sent to
us upon the subject of Mexican Bonds, the tenor being
that all further proceedings against Messrs. F. de
Lizardi and Co., for the recovery of the Deferred Bonds
which they declined to give up, are to be suspended by
Messrs. Schneider. The tact is, however, that
there were orders to this effect as far back as the 13th
June, and whether an arrangement has been come to, or
other parties are to prosecute the " dropped " suit
remains to be seen. The translation of M. Arran-
goiz's letter of the 15th of June, at which date
therefore the Minister was still in office, is as follows:
" His Excellency the President has taken due note of
your letter, No. 94, of the 6th of June last, in which, as
the result of the consultation which had taken place o❑
the mode ur.ost proper for resuming the suit
against Messrs. F. de Lizardi and Co., rela-
tive to the 784,350/. of Deferred Bonds, you
indicate what steps should be taken with reference
to this matter; but his Excellency having determined
to suspend all proceedings against the said Messrs. F.
de Lizardi and Co., as manifested to you officially on the
13th of June last, the matter must so remain ; and I
state this to you in reply," &c.
It will naturally ccaur to most people that M. Arran-
goiz would not take the trouble to issue an order, which
his successor might immediately revoke, if he had an
idea that he should have to resign because of the opposi-
tion of Congress to his plan fora settlement of the foreign
debt.

The English Funds are rather drooping to-day, but
without any particular cause, There have been some
money sales, but speculation is excessively dull. The
news from Rome is not quite liked, and whether it may
not portend renewed trouble in that quarter is the fear
with many. At the same time, there is this obvious con-
sideration that England has throughout wisely kept aloof
from this most " Catholic" squabble, and will certainly
not be called upon to interfere now when the just pu-
nishment of arbitrary intermeddling is falling upon the
Government of Louis Napoleon. Consols have been
921, to 93 for both Money and Account, and r.re now
92aa for the former, and 924 * for the latter. Ex-
chequer-bills have been 435. to 465. premium. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 93:1
to 94*.
The Foreign Securities have been heavier. Mexican
274 to 28, and Brazilian 854- to 864. Spanish Five per
Cents. have been 18i *. Portuguese Four per Cents.
have been 2Si to 29. French Five per Cents. have been
89, with the exchange at 25.40. Dutch Four per Cents.
are 83k.
Railway Shares are rather lower, except North
Western, South Eastern, North Stafford, and one or tlho
others.
