MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS

(THURSDAY RTENING.)
TIM E S.—Some considerable purchases of Exchequer
Bills were made by the Bask-broker, which caused a rise
in the price of those securities, and also rendered money
somewhat easier.

A meeting of the shareholders in the Colonial Bank
took place to-day, at which a dividend of 4 per cent. for
the half-year ending the 31st of December, 1839, was
declared.

The Long-agitated enterprise of steam communication
with India without passing through France seems at last
to be in a fair way of accomplishment. The Peninsular
Oriental Steam Company have announced that their ves-
sels, which are of 1,500 tons and 450 horse power, will
commence running monthly to Alexandria on the Ist of
September next. It is understood that steamers to run in
connexion with them from Suez to Calcutta will also
shortly be started. It appears that steamers are also to be
which will not only accelerate the transit
of passengers,
placed on the Nile for the conveyance of passengers
through Egypt,but of the mails likewise.

SUN.—Some of our Contemporaries represent mo-
ney as very scarce in the Stock Exchange, but to-day, at
any rate, this observation would not apply. Indeed,
from all we can learn, there appears to be quite as
much floating capital in the house as could be desired,
even by the jobbers, and with regard to the mercantile
community, we doubt not they would be well pleased
to find it less abundant in this quarter, inasmuch as
such a scarcity would indicate a healthier state of
things in the commercial world. Accommodation to-
day was to be had at 3 to 4 per cent, on English Stock,
and sto 6 per cent. on Foreign Bonds. For the open-
ing and ex-div. Consols were steady at 914 to and
Exchequer Bills rose from 255. to 28s. premium. India
Bonds rallied also slightly, being marked 2s. to 4s. pre-
mium. Bank Stock touched 174 in the morning, but
closed at 173 ; the Reduced Three-and a-Half per
Cents. remained steady at 100 to 1001, and the Three
per Cents brought 91i to 92.
The Foreign Funds closed heavily. Spanish as 26i
to 264, French Five per Cents. at 117 f. 50c., a de-
cline ; Dutch Two-and .a-Half per Cents at 53/, and
Belgian Bonds-at- 105.-- • -
In the afternoon there was a slight disposition to ef-
fect sales in the Share Market. Great Western Rail-
way Shares were at 38, Birmingham at 98, North
Midland at 2f, and York and North Midland 23- pre-
mium. Brighton Shares were 7i discount.

MOVEMENT OF THE RUSSIAN FLEET.—The
St. George Steam-packet Company's steam-ship Sirius, Lien-
tenant Waters, R.E., commander, which arrived off the: Lon-
don Docks on Sunday morning, sailed from Cronstadt on the
19th ult. The Sirius, on proceeding up to St. Paters burgh
on the 13th, between Revel and Helsingfors, passed thre ul,h a
Russian fleet of eight sail of the line (one a three-deckder , a
large frigate, with a Rear-Admiral's flag, and a corvette. hey
appeared to he working to the westward under easy caatvass,
and seemed do sail very unequally. When the Siriu.l • left
Cronstadt on the 19th, at 9 p.m.', there were several Ru* Sian
frigates and corvettes and one two-decker in the roads.
