There appears to be a very contidsrablo difference of
opinion whether the Court of Directors will act up
stringently to the resolve they arrived at on Thursday
last, relative to the discount firms of the City,
and the bills sent into the Bank of England by
them. It is state'''. with very considerable confidence
its some quarters. that the resolutions will, in all pro-
bability, be rescinded. If such should be the case, the
slirectors, in the opinion of many, will only yield to the
expressed opinion of a clique of the rich firms of the
City of London. With the exception of spvcolators
and monopolists, the strict rule intended to be enforced
on and after the 17th inst. meets with much favour.
Much anxiety has been expressed in all circles this
morning, especially in circles connected with the West
India and South American trades, at the re-
ported loss of the royal mail steam ship the
Tweed. It is scarcely doubted but the ship has
foundered, but there are very strong grounds for the
belief that the loss of life has been greatly ex-
aggerated. Authentic advices were looked for with deep
interest.
A general expectation seems to prevail that, exclusive
of railway supplies, a large drain upon our stocks of
iron will take place on the return of the almost innu-
merable vessels now arriving in our ports with cargoes
of bread-stuffs. These stocks are by no means accu-
mulating under the present demand, although an in-
crease of produce in the manufacturing department has
been carried out to a great extent—so far, indeed,
as the supply of materials will allow. This ex-
pectation, combined with the existing pressure of
orders, imparted a tone of cheerful feeling at the prepara-
tory meeting held at the hotel, Dudley, last week, when
a resolution was passed unanimously, to the effect that
the prices of iron should remain the same as last quarter.
It appears, therefore, pretty certain that the full nominal
price for manufactured iron, and the slight advance
upon pigs that was established last quarter-
day, will be easily sustained during the ap-
proaching quarterly meetings ; and under the adverse
position of the general mercantile interests of the coun-
try, the satisfactory maintenance of existing prices may
be considered equivalent to an advance under ordinary
circumstances. An uneasiness among the workmen in
the Welch districts has been manifested, and in a slight de-
gree has contaminated this neighbourhood, but it has been
met by determined measures of self-protection on the part
of the masters, and with the prospect of more moderate
charges for provisions, and the summer season at hand,
we do not think a general attempt to demand higher
wages will be made. The quarterly meetings will be
held at Walsall to-morrow (Tuesday) ; sit Wolverhamp-
ton on Wednesday ; Birmingham on Thursday, Stour-
bridge on Friday, and at Dudley on Saturday next.
A slight improvement has ;aken place in the Consul
Market to-d:ty. For Money, as well as for the Account,
the present value is 884. Exchequer bills have im-
proved to 3s. premium, and India Bonds to 4s. premium.
There has not been any quotation fur the Scrip of the
New Loan this morning. India Stock is at 2461, and
Bank Stock for the Account at 204.
In the Spanish Three per Cents. there has been a good
sprinkling of business done tois morning. The Trace
per Cents. have ranged from 34 to 351, and the Five
per Cents. gave advanced !ruin 23* to 24. The Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have ruled from 58i. to
59. Danish Bonds have realised 861 without the divi-
dend. Grenada Bends have realised from 191 to 20*.
Li the Railway Share Market there is very little
doing this morning. The prices are very generally
steady.

CORN EXCHANGE—(MONDAY.)
During last week the arrivals of all kinds o' Grain, es
well as Flour, of home produce, were on a very limited
scale, while, from Ireland and Scotland, scarcely any
thing came to hand. The imports of foreign 'Wheat
were good, viz., upwards of 10,000 quarters ; vvbile
those of Barley exceeded 9,000 ; of Oats, 25,000
quartets ; end of Flour, 14,000 barrels, all exclusive ei
a feie importation of Beans, Peas, and Indian core.
The receipts of English Wheat fresh up, were very
small ; and the total supply of that article on offer---
owing to most of last Monday's unsold samples finding
purchasers on Wednesday, was comparatively limited'

nearly the whole of the Essex parcels had been disposea
of, but a few of those from rent and Cambridgeshire
remained on hand. There was no business tratisaeted
in English Wheat on French account; indeed, we did not
see a single foreign buyer in attendance The show
