loaded at Ott ssa with tallow, captain and three men saved,
four lost ; the Russian commercial steamer Neva or Em-
peror Nicholas, Captain Rogers, from Odessa, with passen-
gers and cargo, 13 of the crew and six passengers lost;
the captain, first engineer, and four of the crew, with four
male and two female passengers, saved ; those went on
shore to the west and east of the Boghas. The Seri Per.
vas, Austrian commercial steamer, left Constantinople
just before the gale set in, with 525 Turkish soldiers for
Beyrour. She drifted out of her course, and was wrecked
near the entrance of the Gulf of Moudania. Two soldiers
washed off the deck, six or eight frozen to death, and all
the rest, including several Austrian officers going to join
the army in Syria, with the crew, saved. Several ships
are lest in the Bosphorus. The Tahiri Babiri is just put
in from Syria, but there is no time to learn what she brings
before the departure of the present. The Turks are dis-
pleased with the officious interference of Commodore Na-
pier. The Crescent steamer, on her passage from Tre-
bisond, was struck by a sea, which carried twelve deck
passengers overboard. The Turkish steamer Zibaishi
Zidgeirct, also from Trebisond, had three passengers car-
ried overboard, and seven frozen to death."
Another letter says, " The storm of the Ist caused
numerous wrecks in the Black Sea. We have already re-
ceived accounts of the loss of 18 Greek vessels, three
English, and a much greater number of Austrians, Sar-
dinians, and Neapolitans. Even in the Channel seven
were cast away. Lieutenant-Colonel de Philippovitch
and Capt. Count Ssechvyni were on board the Seri Pervas
during the storm."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.

The English Market was not depressed by the state-
ment from Paris, concerning the French Finance
Minister's intention to cover the deficiency in the re-
venue of his Government by a new loan ; when the
Money Market appears to offer the best chance to him.
This is merely what all might have expected would
come, sooner or later. Consols closed at 884 toi ; Ex-
chequer Bills at 4s. to 6s. premium ; Bank Stock at
138 ; and the Ite,luced Three per Cents. at 89.
In sonic quarters we observe that the probability of
a new loan for Spain, is exciting attention, but we are
unprepared to state upon what precise grounds the
supposition rests, any more than its being based upon
that well known foundation of the poverty of ;the
Madrid Treasury. No doubt there is in contem-
plation some new measure of finance by the Re-
gency, as the last private advices from Spain even
assert the likelihood of our having " a batch" of
decrees early in the present year. It is also
stilted that negotiations are in progress between
the British and Spanish Governments, for some
plan to relieve the English creditors, and secondly, that
M. Gamboa has discovered, on inspection of the ac-
counts of his predecessors, that arrears are due to Go-
vernment from parties who purchased Crown lands, to
the enormous amount of six millions sterling, which
arrears he is resolved to enforce the payment of ac-
cording to the terms of the contract, partly in Govern-
ment stock. which it is hoped will the❑ be cancelled.
Of course we do not vouch for the authenticity of this
statement. Six millions sterling form a very large sum,
even making allowances for the extent to which Spanish
corruption and favouritism are said to exist.
To-day there was again a large amount of business
doing in the Foreign Market, chiefly in Peninsular Se-
curities. Spanish Active Bonds were not quite so high,
being marked 25i to 241, for the Account. Portu-
guese New Five per Cents. were steady at 321 to
32i, for immediate transfer ; and 32i for the 1837
Bonds, for Account. The Three per Cents. were at
20f to 201. Colombian Six per Cents. realized 24 ;
Mexican declined to 284, and Brazilian to 704 and
711. Russian Bonds were worth 1121, and Dutch
Five per Cents. 971.
The Railway Shares were neglected. Great West-
ern New, on which a further instalment of 10/. per
share was completed to-day, were marked 121 pre-
mium, the Fifth shares 7 to 71 premium ; York and
North Midland, 18 premium. Brighton shares were
51 to 6 discount. These prices were nearly all the
same as yesterday. Colonial Bank Shares were 13,
and Union Bank of Australia 10 premium.
Tile Foreign Exchanges were flat again this after-
noon, but not lower. On Paris, three months, paper
was taken at 251. 521 e. to 55c. On Amsterdam, at
12 2} to 1 ; on Hamburgh, at 13 7 ; on Antwerp,
at 12 21 ; on Frankfort, at 1481 ; and on Trieste, at
10 3.
