At a moment when the fate of the "President" steamer
excites the interest of every class of people in thiS'—and,'
we may add, wherever the calamitous circumstances of
her absence is known—of the people of .every other civi-
lized nation, every suggestion tending to prevent or re-
lieve similar misfortunes deserves attention. .The remark
of a Contemporary that the Fortitude, the captain
of which vessel speaks in a tone almost of certainty of
having seen her, took no steps whatever, either to signal
or assist her, calls for- some comment. On the score of
humanity, there is, of course, not the shadow of excuse
for this serious neglect ; but when it is known that.
without incurring the heaviest responsibility—a respon-
sibility, not limited to his ship or his cargo, but affecting
likewise the owner of that cargo, and the assurers upon
it—the captain could not go out of his course, there is al-
lowance to be made for what appears a defect of duty
and judgment in this particular. The captain, it is
not stated, was in any peril when he asserts he saw
the " President," yet he pursued his course, and leave's
the disabled ship to buffet the waves or founder. By
the form of policy now in common use in the mercantile
and marine world, the slightest deviation by a vessel
from her course vitiates the contract between the as-
surer and the assured, and it is-seldom, therefore, that
any takes place ; never, certainly, without compromising
the interest of those assured. "We are glad that our
columns of this day announce to the trading community
the existence of an establishment in which this restriction
is done away with, and which, with the same security, will
give any man, or body of men, the opportunity of encour-
aging, by their own acts and influence, this much called
fur, though almost uselessly withheld, philanthropic con-
ception.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.
The account by the Fortitude respecting the 'S large
steamer," which, like the phantom-ship of old, is seen by all
and arproached by none, has given rise to a good deal of ex-
citement again, and the arrival of the Britannia, now over-
due and hourly expected, is looked for with increased interest.
It is curious that Captain Arbuthnot should declare his perfect
acquaintance with the appearance of the President, and his
impression that she was the steamer he saw in his voyage home
from Buenos Ayres.
Another change seemed to be coming on in the Money
Market to-day, similar to those we have been subject to, with-1
out any one being able to a'sign a positive cause for them,
during the last six or eight weeks. Discounts which hadbeen
easier since Thursday, when the notice was issued at the
Bank of England, were to-day tighter again, and Stocks and
Shares have felt the influence of this increased scarcity. The
following notice, however, which appeared at the Bank of Eng-
land this afternoon, may relieve the Money Market again.
".At a Court of Directors held this day, resolved—That
until further notice the Bank of England wilt discount Bills of
Exchange and Notes not having mere than ninety days to run."
Consols for Money were at 90 to Bn, and for the Account
at 90% to 90% buyers. The news from China and India hart
also a slight effr..ct upon the market, in addition to the suspense
prevalent on account of the debate this evening in the House
of Commons. The Unfunded Debt was affected by another
cause, viz. the rather increased scarcity of money. The pre-
mium was 12s. to 7s. India Bonds dropped to Is. awl 3s. pre-
mium, Bank Stock receded to 168/. and India Stork from
253 to 251, owing to the unsettled state of affairs in more than
one of the States proximate to the British possessions in the
E: st. he Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were at.
97/1 to 974, and the Three per Cents. at 88i to 88g.
Spanish Bonds remained all day at 23%, owing. to the de-
feat of Espartero's Ministry upon the election of a Vice-Presi-
dent. Portuguese Three per Cents. were at 20% ; Mexican
at 28 ; Columbian, at 2114; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents., at 521/2.
The Railway Shares wore a heavy appearance in the morn-
ing, but rallied a little before the close of business. Great
Western Railway Shares were quoted 29%; London and Bit-,
mingham, 68 ; the New, 21%; and York and North Mid-
land also 21% prem ; Dighton Shares were 4;1, ; Blackwall,
54 ; Croydon, *; and South Estero, 18% dis. British and
North American Bank Shares improved to 3 dis. ; Provincial
Bank of Ireland Shares were les% prem.

" NEW ZEALAND.—A letter from Port Nicholson, New
Zealand, states that thore has been a successiorttpf arrivals of
large vessels, with emigrants and merchandize ; that the popu-
lation of Port Nicholson was about '2,400, was daily increasing ;
at Cloudy Bay, for example, there were already many settlers,
and more were expected.

tors (the hall-yearly general meeting of Bank Proprietors)
was held this day. the Chairman laid the usual returns on
the table, which were in a prosperous state. He informed the

the deposits about 17 per cent. The amount of specie had
diminished 11 per cent.' and the securities had increased 20
tier cent. The receipts had increased 40 per cent., and the

had increased 28 per cent., and the reserve fund had increa,ed
28 per cent. The Chairman declared a dividend of 12 per

But little importance is attached to the accounts received
from Liverpool respecting the large vessel seen by Captain
Arbuthnot. Had she been the President it is supposed that
signals trould have been made that the passengers were safe.
