MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.
FROM THE MORNING PAYERS OF THIS DAY.
'1 IM'ES.—The announcement from the Treasury has taken
the :honey Market completely by surprise, so much so that for
the last three or four days the general expectation was that the
Treasury would merely take a vote for the amount of the de-
e:a: ,N 1 deficiency—viz., 2,500,0001., and that there would
neit, er be a funding of Exchequer Bills nor a loan during the
present year. It differs from former announcements et the
ki..o in t: sing at once a price for the funding instead of leaving
tha to be determined by tenders from capitalists and others.
The lrst thing therefore to be considered is, whether the vi. Ise
so lixed bears such a relation to the market price of the Steak
for .he day as to make it worth while for the monied interest r o
beet .ae stibscribers. 'Me following calculations will set tido
HIE; ttr in a clear point of view :—The simplest plan is to calcn-,
leit,‘ he ogeratien on 1,000/ ; and to obtain the average value,.
it i: expe(&nr, to asgnme that the subscribers would avail them-
seh s of the option of paying half in money and half in
Exchequer Bills, for the purchase of 1,121/. Corsols, the
aracont allowed for the 1,0001. Taking the average price of
E: cheque:,- Bills to be 14s. premium, 500/. of these are worth
'50:1 . 10s., and 5001. in money, with the addition of the 12s.
per cent., according to the terms of the notice, will be 5031.,
inat mg t vether the aggregate of .1,0061. /Os. Assuming the
vvi:ele to b., paid up on the 27th of September, it is nectes:ary
to t "duct the interest of lid. per diem from that day to• the
res;•cctive days on which the instalment's are made payable.

6. English Ork t., the Princess Royal. JOHN SMITH
BENIFOLD.—This be.'ng the most intelligible, and on a
Loyal subject, plcasea: the audience excessively. The
opening lines were :

ODE TO THE PRINCESS ROYAL.
Hail ! Bud of Promise —Ocean-Child I
Beauty and Grace, thy Couch attending,
Smile on thy birth with as,nect
Their magic power together blending :
Sweet be thy slumbers !—softly.gliclin,g,
Angels are o'er thy cot presiding.
Gaze—gaze we on the gladdening scene !
And mark the parent's bosom swelling ;
What rapture fills the Mother-Queen !
What joy within her breast is dwelling !
Trace, too, in Albert's features stealing
High smiles—a father's love revealing.

Total £7 17 9
Deducting this total of 71. 17s. 9d. from 1,006/. 10s., the
ren,inder u ill give 9981. 12s. 31. as the price of 1,1211. Con-
sols, which is at about the rate of 89 1-16 per cent.
C‘ nsols sell percent. on the appearance of this notice, i. e.
to t9i- to 4, forming nearly the whole of the advantage, cem-
pared with 89i to I, the closing price of yesterday, to be de-

the city is that subscribers to the amount required will not be
fortl:corning at the time appointed. The Minister, it is ob-
s.er. oil, oup,ht to have foreseen, from observation on the pre-
vious; state of the Consol market, that some decline must

8. Greek lambics on "Leonidas." GEORGE EDWIN PAT-
TEtZDEN.—This was the gem of the series. Pattenden,
with a rotund voice in his favour, spoke it with as much
fervour mid heroism as the old Greek warrior himself.
The ode consisted of the address of Leonidas to his
ha idful of high martyrs at the pass of Thermepylre.
Pattenden's enunciation of those passages which directly
appealed to the Hellenic soldiery—tbe"EcrrE e).o6Efot,"
—" Be ye free"—and again, the " eafo-EtrE upE/c,"
"B 3 ye bold," were delivered by this young scholar with
excellent nerve and spirit.

10. Latin Elegiacs' or "Nathan's Reproof of Davie
GRORGE BANASTRE Prx.—An opening phrase seemed
somewhat unorthodox : David and his Princes were de-

adorned with " fillets.". Now, from Aaron to Solomon,
Sacred Writ mentions no fillet : priests and Kings wore
" crowns," and'even " bonnets fo: beauty and glory :" never-
theless, throwing aside hypercriticism, the allusion to the
" tender lamb" was choicely given ; and though nothing
can equal the plain scripture of "Thou art the man 1" it
was fairly rendered by—

alcu:ia-tiom so as to allow for that decline, and to lea:matt

bonus for the contracting parties. They wool&
have been colt4:ent, it appears, with a small bonus, say of one--
ba'f -der cent. iot under this operation, taking the current
clew ....tions of the day, there is little or no advantage in the
converi-ion over an immediate purchase of stock. We rather

estehange at Nsw York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the
interest must be deducted from the aforesaid difference.
CHRONICLE.—The scheme has been brought forwarcE
reasonably encugb, in so far as to give employment for our•
spare capital at home-, instead of allowing it to seek investment.
in Paris ; but at the present price of the French Rentes, there:
is rot much fear that She Bank would have had a great deal to.
dread from that source. The terms on which this funding- is
prty,msed do not afford tempting prospects to subscribers; fere
by I,'ceiving 1121.25. of Three per Cent. Stock for every 100/.
of Exchequer Bills and the premium, they would get neither
mor nor less: than their stock at the closing price of the
dad-, at least, there is not above one-sixteenth of. a margin.
Had the Chancellor of the Exchequer allowed 1121. We.
of :Cock for the 1001. of Exchequer Bills and the pre -
miten, he w,uuld have found his lists far more speech] y
closet. The Stock Exchange connot be expected to ccem
forward readily on such very doze conditions. They will hall e
to berrow the money or to turn it out of other investments s,
should they subscribe largely, and the Insurance Co:npanisx
on e horn great- dependence is placed, have not very powerfs 1
inducements to make them go largely into the funding. Theis
opciations lately have shown a desire to get rid of stock foie
mor gages, so• as to convert a portion of their surplus capita
into permanent annuities. The Bank of Issue retain their Ex-..
chequer Bits to meet any sudden return of their notes, and.:
for teat purpose Exchequer Bills are more convenient than any -
other species of security. What further influence, however,
this project of the Chancellor of. the Exchequer may pro-
duce upon the Money Market will depend much upon the
crass of met, who take the sAseription. The matter
has probably been concocted previously with the Bank-
Dire-tors, who will help the Tories through the gutter.
The object of the measure is clear enough. If the whole
amount be taken in Exchequer Bills, and the funding goes on
to it extent, then new blue will be issued under the eanction
of a vote of credit to the same amount, perhaps; and thus,
whi e 5,000,5001. will be added to the funded debt of the coun-
try, t'ie addition to the existing debt would be represented by
the amount of new bills so issued, and which, undee the
lowe•t computation, will amount to 2,500,0004 It, on
the other hand, one-half, or 2,500,0001., should be
paid for in money for stock, then Ai-. Goalbeurn
wi I get the amount of the deficit of the year in
cads, and will Le able to obtain another 2,50),00G/.
a re-issue of new bills in lieu of those that would be funded;
but under any circumstances, a new creation of 5,000,000/. of
Stork must be the result, while the yearly deficiency or
0,503,000/. of revenue to meet the expenditure of the country
will remain untouched and unprovided for. These proposals
for a funding constitute, in fact, " temporary provision" to
meet the deficit of the year, announced by the Premier on.
Friday, and which will be submitted to the House of Coramoas
for reproval, we eerceive, in a few days, by the Chancellor of
the Exchequer.
11 '',RALD.—It was generally believed that the publicatient
of this funding business was somewhat hastened by the intelle-
genet, of the French loan forthcoming upon the market, but it
is evident from the deplorable condition of the Treasury, as in-
herit d from the late inselvent Ministry, that it is an operation
whiebecould be no longer delayed, if means were to be pro-
vide i for the public service. The large masses of unfunded
secut ities issued end left discreditably afloat by the late Chan-
cel!: r of the Exchequer did not admit of any other alternative,
fn ne more issues were possible unless by raising the ietereet
upon them again as the late 111inhter had so recently done,
without which they must have fallen to a discount as before.
which would render mare issues impossible, however intik-
pensehle for the supply of the temporary exigencies
of the State. Raising the interest was, of course, mit
of the question, as the rate at present is beyond •
that of Canso's, which may be adduced as another mise
eh:teems consequence of the financial blundering of Mr. Bari-3g
in cm stantly restorang to Exchequer Bills upon every pressure
for money, without caring to provide the means for redeenli7
and cencelline any portion of the over-issues subsequently', 0
as 'o keep the quantity afloat light, under controul and at a
lower rate of interest, and therefore less burden upon thee

OPENING OF THE LONDON AND

BRIGHTON RAILWAY.

This stupendous undertaking is at length achieved, and the
whole liue a•as opened throughout to the public yesterday
morning. The difficulties with which the Company have had
to contend have been great, but they have all been surmounted
with comparative ease, and the great work—a work charac-
terised by an eminent engineer as almost impracticable—does
honour to the engineers and the Company Its cutting, its
embankments, and its tunnels are immense, exceeding per-
haps any other line iu the kingdom in point of magnitude in
tie same distance. The most magnificent and imposing ob-
ject on the Erie is the Ouse viaduct, about 34 miles from
London, which is 1,434 felt long, entirely built of brick, and
consisting of 37 semi-circular arches, teach 30 feet span. From
the surface of a small river the parapet rises about 105 feet,
and the structure, when seen from the bed of the valley, has an
elegant appearance. _

At en early hour the bells of St Nicholas ushered in the
auspicious morn, and, notwithstanding the prevalence of a
heavy fog, numbers of persons were upon the hills in the vici-
nity of the terminus to witness the departure of the first up-
train, which left at a quarter before seven.
A special train, which is to run the distance in an hour and
three .quarters, left at half-past eight with some of the Direc-
tors and their friends.

Every available spot in the vicinity of the terminus com-
manding a view of tha read was occupied, and the scene alto-
gether was very imposing. Thousands open thousands were
scattered in all directions upon tho hills and on the roads in the
vicinity of the terminus—the town literally emptied itself of its
inhabitants. Under the shed at the terminus a host of musi-
cians and vocalists, professional as well as amateurs, had a,sem-
bled to greet the first arrivals with a triumphal chorus.
The train was expected to arrive at about a quarter after
twelve, and as the time approached every eye was directed as
far as it could reach on the line to catch a first glimpse of the
train. In a short time the rattling of the engine was heard,
and in another instant the train was whisked over the New
England viaduct, and reached its destination amidst the shouts
of the vast multitude. The band immediately struck up the
national anthem, and was joined in full chorus by a thousand
voices. This train was followed by another in about ten minutes
afterwards, which was also hailed with acclamation.
The course of the line is as follows : —lt starts upon the
Greenwich line at London .bridge, on which it runs fur one
mile and three quarters. It then takes the Croydon line
until about nine miles and a half from town and one from
Croydon, where it turns off from it to the left, and skirts
the eastern boundary of the town, at which it has a station
better placed, it appears to us, for the accommodation of the
town, than that of the Croydon Company. From this place
it gradually approaches the turnpike-road to Brighton for a
mile and a half. The line no keeps very close to the east of
the road until a little beyond the " Parsonage," twenty-five
miles and a half by railway from town. At this place it crosses
and leaves the road sometimes a mile or more to the east of it,
