MONEY.

During the past fortnight the tendency of the
Money Market has been upward. Stocks of all kinds
have steadily improved and the business in them has
been active. Nearly 3,000,000 dollars have been re-
cently paid in this city alone as dividends. Discount
now rules at seven to nine per cent. for paper and money,
on call from five to six per annum.
The demand for exchange has been to a fair extent ;
but the market closes with rather a downward tendency,
as the supply is large.

The message of Governor Johnston, of Pennsylvania.
was received in Philadelphia on Saturday night. It is a
very voluminous document, but discusses the various and
important affairs of the State with such clearness, fair-
ness, accuracy, and temperateness, that it elicits universal
praise. It is ranked with the very best of the documents
of a similar character ever produced by a Governor of
Pennsylvania.
The subject of the relief note currency, now amoun-
ing to 600,000 dollars, engages much of his attention,
and he makes the excellent suggestion that the interest
on the State debt be hereafter paid not in this depre-
ciated paper, but in convertible funds, and urges the re-
fusal likewise of all money in payment of State dues not
convertible into specie.
The expenditure of the State during the past four
years, on all accounts, have exceeded the receipts by the
sum of 248,012 dolls. 19c. The following is a brief
summary of the present financial condition of the
State:— Dolls.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S:YESTERDAY.

Several strong commissions were executed on the
Chester Cup, the animals most fancied being Blucher,
Inheritress, Ellerslie, and Farewell; the first-mentioned
two were in immense force, the horse obtaining the pre-
miership, but the old mare being backed for the most
money. Ballinafad and Geraldine were also in favour.
Of the other stakes in betting the Metropolitan Han-
dicap alone calls for a remark; Lugar and Canezou had
a host of friends, and left off at very little more than
half the odds that were laid before the weights came out.
Dacia is considered to be " well in" in all her engage-
ments.
