MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.
The Funds are rather hater again, and there h•ts
been more activity in the market to day, both in real
and speculative bargains. At the close of the market
the value of Consols, both for present transfer and the
account was steady, being 894 to 4 for the
former ; and 894 to 8, for the latter. Exchequer
Bills were without alteration, being still 4s. to 6s.
:premium, and India Bonds ranged from ss. to 10s.
discount. Bank Stock was not quite so good, the quota-
ion beingl6B to 169 ; and India Stock has reeede.l from
250 to 248 and 249. The Reduced Three-and-a-Half
per Cents. were at 98-a to 988 ; the New Threc-and.a-
Half per Cents, at 974 to 98e ; and the Three per
Cents., at 898 to 90e. South Sea Stock was at 99i.
The Foreign Securities seem likely to improve again
after the settlement. Spanish Active Bonds were rather
higher to-day, viz.-244 to 25 ; Portuguese, New Five
per Cents. were at 22e ; the Three per Cents. at 20i1;
Colombian of 1824, at 23 ; Mexican of 1837, at 28
to a ; and Brazilian at 731 ; Buenos Ayres declined to
20 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., were at 50
to 50 * ; and the Five per Cents at 99e.
Shares were more buoyant. Great Western were at
274 to 29, the New at 13: the Fifths 64 to 6, and
the South 18i to 19e prem. Brighton were 6.:1 to 6 ;
Hull and Selby, 5 ; No,rth Midland, 24 to 22 ; and
Paris and %MCP, 1 disetaknt. Colonial Bank Shares
were 104 to 11 premium. 'v
The state of general trade in the City is at present
tolerably satisfactor% ; but the failures of the last fort-
night, and the slight reaction in the Foreign Exchanges,
notwithstanding the continued abundance of money for
commercial purposes, have had a slight effect upon that
confidence which is so essential to a renewal of activity.
The Customs' returns of British manufactures exported
from Landon also begin to look fuller.

The British Market continues in an inactive state to the
present time ; the speculators not having a feature on
which they can operate, owing to the great scarcity of
Continental intelligence, as well as from the other
quarters of the globe.
To-morrow being settling day in the Foreign Market,
the brckers and jobbers are chiefly employed in arranging
their accounts. Money being at an easy rate we have no
doubt the Account will go off well

SIR E. L. BULWER'S NEW NOVEL,
" NIGHT AND MORNING."—Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer's
xpected book has, unlike most hoped for things, more
than equalled our anticipations. It seems to us to be im-
pressed with the strong leading features of various minds,
rather than to have taken its tone from the guiding charac-
teristic of one, for we find it equally powerful and vivid in
contrasted lines of excellence. Thus its tenderrwss of
sentiment, so delicately and minutely pourtrayed, like the
feathers on the wing of the butterfly, is powerfully con-
trasted by the masculine strength of grasp with which he
seizes and delineates the coarser lines of crime ; and the
purity and holiness of the best affection; of our nature, as
drawn out by Buiwer in those ties of our affections which
bind us to each other, aid those delicately constructed
links of sympathy, which no! e but such an author cou'd
have fahricatA, arc as singularly set off by the frivolous,
heartless, soulless emptiness of that clique in the upp r
ranks who think that the ,‘ porcelain clay" was never made
for the vulgar uvos of thought and feeling. Any one of
these leading features would have made Bulwer a popular
author, but united they render him a great one.
