de accounts received from Vienna state that, although the
failure of Gey Muller had naturally produced a great sensation
in that capital, it had no serious reaction on the price of the
public funds. To the Company the Bank actions at Vienna
closed five florins higher than they left off the previous day, on
the day the failure was known. The report yesterday of two
of the great London houses having suffered by the above
failure, on inquiry, does not appear to be correct. The mischief
which it has caused here is, we understand, not to any great
extent.

Accounts from the Hague of the 16th July, state that the
Russian squadron which is at the Heider, is destined, it ap-
pears, to be laden with the funds Af the loth contracted at Am-
sterdam, on account of the Czar, by the house of Hope, and is
to be transported to St. Petersburgh. It is remarked that
for several months masses of gold and silver have been sent to
the Helder, most part of which is in ingots, and are put on
board the Russian ships of war. The Czar has recommended
to Mr. Hope, &c. to use the greatest expedition in the reali-
zation of the funds, which has the appearance that the Russian
Treasury is empty, as well as those of other powers.
The unfavourable state of the weather, with some fear re-
specting the crops, has rather damped the British Market this
morning.

TO THREE.
It is not a little singular that theUARTER
Tory.prints accuse the
Liberal party of attempts to excite apprehension in the minds of
the public on account of the crops, with a view of getting up
the averages, an admission at once on their part of the
rottenness of the present system, when prices can be governed
and guided to a certain point by the mere jobbing of specula-
tors, to the injury alike of the British farmer and the bona fide
importer.
To-day Foreign Wheat in bond is 2s. to 3s. higher, and
English is very firm. This is coming nearer to what we
stated a day or two since, viz. a price that will admit of its
entry for consumption at a lower duty. So much for the be-
nefit of the Corn-laws to British agriculture.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE.
The fresh supplies of Corn since Monday have been small.
The continuation of wet weather occasions higher prices to be
demanded for all sorts of Corn. English Wheat obtained rather
more than on Monday, and bonded Wheat further advanced 2s.
to 3s. per quarter. Barley, Beans, and Peas met little de-
mand at last quotations. Oats of good quality rather dearer.
Flour meta good sale.

COLONIAL MARKET.
There was a fair business transacted, and prices were firm,
especially for Raw Sugar, which met a brisk demand for both
Grocery and Refining purposes. West India Brown fetched
575. to 595. ; low to fine yellow, 60s. to 695. per cwt. Coffee
was held firmly, but the market was quiet.
TEA MARKET.
Buyers were cautious, and the Market presented a quiet ap-
pearance • but holders were not disposed to submit to any
further reduction, and Company's Congou, cash, could not be
obtained under 2s. 3%d. per lb.
TALLOW MARKET.
The Market was dull for Russian Tallow, and prices were
with difficulty supported. P.Y. Candle on the spot might
have been obtained at 475., and for delivery in the last three
months there were sellers at 475. 3d. per cwt.
SPIRIT MARKET.
Rum sells mora freely, and prices were firmer; sales of Proof
Leewards made at Is. lid. per gallon; Brandy in good re-
quest, and prices firmer.
