MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

(WEDNESDeIi EVENING.)
TIMES —There is now no expectation whatever that
the Select Committee of the House of Commons on beat-
ing can make any Report in the present Session, and they
must content themselves, eons-quently, with the publica-
tion of such of the evidence as shall have been taken by
_them, up to the time of the adjournment. That it will lead
ultimately to important changes of some kind in the system
of banking in this country no doubt is now entertained, as
the inquiry, in spite of every kind of vexatious opposition,
has proved of the most searching► character, and exposed
much of the evil which now prevails, together with the
origin of it. The publication of the evidence-will be looked
for with great interest all over the kingdom.
There has been much excitement in the city at the an-
nouncement that a party had absconded with a number of
foreign securities; to the amount of about 40,0001. The
party implicated, for whose apprehension a reward is
offered, is said to have carried on business in an apparently
large way. He is thought to have absconded about five
wetks ago, but having left a power of attorney to carry on
his business, no immediate suspicion was excited. As
vmeng the securities, which had been deposited with
third party. there was a great number of Brazilian bonds
(about 21,0000, it in supposed that this act operated on
the late advance in the price of that susceptible stock,
since the party with whom. the bonds were deposited
would naturally have to make large purchases to replace
them.

SUN.—The merchants interested in the American
trade were rather disappointed at the non-receipt of
:he letters and pap"rs expected by the Great IVestern
It must, however, he borne in mind that the distance
from Brian) make, same difference.

The funds clOsed stcadily, Consols at. 91f, Exchequer
Bills at '32 prem., Bank Stock at 1731, ut.d the Re-
duced 3} per Cents. at 100 f.
The Foreign account was adjusted without any cm.
lyarasstuent of moment among the jobber-, kit ACCOIII-
- was very currently, taken at 6 to 7 per eel-A.
since the Ist inst. Spanish Actires have varied about 2,
Co:ninbi<in I. and Brazilian 3} per cent. The report
of the committee of Spanish Bondholders will be out, it
seems, on Monday next, and we understand will contain
matter of considerable intrrt st to the Bondholders.
To-day the Active Bonds rallied to 28* 1 for money,
awl 28,1 for account ; Portuguese New Five per
Cents. were also rather higher—viz., 351 to ; Brazil
Bands touched 80g. and Colombian 284 ; Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. were firm at 53j to

Shares were much more buoyant. G:eit Western
R►ilway brought 40 to 41, New. 181, Birmingham
Quarter 9.4 i, and South Western 201 prem., Brighton
shares were 6a discount.
