ANOTHER ADVERTISING NUISANCE. —A new and
cheap mode of advertising has been adopted. Men are sent
about town, dressed in white frocks, upon which are is-
scribed in large legible characters, such as workhouse clothes
are branded with, the things to be sold, their prices, and the
houses where they are sold. Even the Ant, Bee, and other
cheap steam-boats have adopted this extraordinary means
of advertising themselves. The men so engaged are not pre-
vented following other out-door occupation; as all their
employers require is, that they should be constantly walking
about.
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE TOWER.—The improvements
and alterations in this ancient fortress ate making rapid pro-
gress. Last week a handsome tier of twenty-one steps, lead-
ing from the Traitor's-gate to the parade, on which the bar •
racks are now erecting, was thrown open to the public, in
place of the steep ascent which they had formerly to climb.
A great progress has been made in the erection of the new
Wellington Barracks, which have now risen to nearly forty
feet from the ground. The official residence of the master
furbisher in its rear, called Queen Elizabeth's Tower, from
the circumstance of her confinement there by her sister, has
been restored. Many other alterations are projected, parti-
cularly the enlargement and modernizing of the buildings in
the neighbourhood of the old Mint, which has long been con-
sidered the most unhealthy part of the fortress.

SALE OF PICTUItES.—:Ift Messrs. Foster's rooms, yes-
terday, there was a sale of pictures, some of which were de-
scribed as the works of Ludovico Caracci, feniers, Carlo
Dolci, /sc. The prices for which these paintings were
knocked down were remarkably low. A" St. John and the
Lamb " was sold for 5/, 10s. ; a fine landscape, said to be by
'feniers, only fetched 21/. There was a beautiful cabinet Ludo-
vico Caracci disposed of for 411., the best specimen put for-
ward for competition.
. The larger paintings, however,
appeared most to interest those present. In fact, size is wont
to mislead those whose taste is unsettled. Massive propor-
tion often induces a belief that the higher attributes of art
have been attained, whereas, too often, ambition—misdirected
ambition—only is, to the eye of judgment, lamentably
conspicuous.
THE CHARGE OF KILLING AT BIRMINGHAM.—Last
night, at eleven o'clock, the jury who sat in the case of the
girl Martoha Minors, at pumuishaul, retuned a verdict

MONEY and CORMEIICIAL NEWS. .
CITY, QUARTER Po PUREE.
The business done in Cotton at Liverpool yesterday was '
large. Sales 10,000 bales. The market was very firm at
Friday's rates for American sorts. Other qualities have been
without alteration. Shares have been very quiet.
There is a continued absence of late arrivals, and of local
news we have also very little.
The exertions of the committee formed to devise melt.
sures for relieving the sufferers by the fire at St.
John's, Newfoundland, deserve a hearty response
from the public at large, who by small subscrip-
tions can accomplish what it would be imnoesible
for the merchants directly connected with Newfoundland to
bring about. There are many objects to which the public
are at present called upon to contribute, but the details in
our advertisement columns will show none more deserving of
consideration than this. The committee have themselves
set the best possible example—they have subscribed them-
selves.
The duty upon foreign wheat to-day is ss. per quarter.
The market for the Public Securities has been rather
firmer this morning, and there is less fluctuation, arising from
the settlement of accounts. Consols have been 9534 for
money and time. The premium on Exchequer-bills con-
tinue at :Is. to 15s. ; and on East India Bonds it is 20s. to
275. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised
9714 34.
There is as little as ever doing in the Foreign Investments.
Spanish Three per Cents have been 3614, and steady. Portu-
guee Four per Cents. have realised 46 to 461/. Brazilian New
B eels at quoted 85; Columbian Six per Cents. are 151/, an:?
Mexican 26 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. realise
591/2 to 59:34.
The settlement of the Account in the Share Market, as well
as in Fore Lit Bonds, together with the arrangement• of the
Ctinsol diffsrences, nece sadly restrict other business. The
position
of the Share Market certainly appears to be
improving, as far as the confidence of bona fide
holders is concerned, and we have no doubt but that
,:fter the registration of the scrip in lines which have re-
ceived Legislative sat.ction, there will, other things remain-
ing as at present, be tar less difficulty in obtaining payment of
the calls, thatt by some parties is anticipated. There is no
danger, either of the least tampering with the currency to
ease the position of individuals who have too ex-
tensive a stake in new railways, and who, for the
benefit of all parties, are best out of the field, or at
least will act wisely to restrict their liabilities in time. The
judicious capitalist will quie,ly go on with a good investment,
and must ultimately reap the reward of any present sacrifice
either as regards time or money. Of course we speak of the
really good lines, which it would be invidious inure specifi=
tally to allude to here.
