MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.

The market for the English Securities supported to-
day the improved appearance of yesterday afternoon,
and the settlement went off much better than was antici-
pated, the failures having turned out to be very insigni-
ficant in respect to the losses they will entail upon any
party. The purchases of the Court of Exchequer, and
the public combined, have completely saved many of the
jobbers. Money was much easier to-day. Consols were
88 to 884 for present transfer, and SBl- to for the next
account. Exchequer Bills continued at I ls. to 13s.
premium ; and India Bonds at 2s. premium to par.
Bank Stock rallied to 1641 and 165, and India Stock to
2441 and 245. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents.
were at 974 to 981.
The business done in Foreign Stocks was of a more
limited character to-day, as regards not only the general
range, but even those "pets of the fancy," Spanish
Actives. These latter improved, however, from 1q- to
191 ; Portuguese New Five per Cents. were marked
30 to 291 ; Mexican, 241 to 4 ; Venezuelan, 271 to 28 ;
and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 51 to 511.
The Share Market was quiet, but it maintained rather
a better position. Great Western were 91 to 101 ; the
New, 34 ; and York and North Midland, 28 premium.
Brighton were 94 to 91 discount. London and West-
minster Bank Shares were a to 1 premium.

Sydney, New South Wales, papers, to the 6th of June,
have been received, which state that ” the monetary af-
fairs of this town and colony are still in a most dis-
tressed and unsatisfactory condition, notwithstanding
all our foreboding to the contrary, that the evil
day had come and passed away : a general dullness per-
vades all classes of the community, and all branches of
trade, which nothing can so effectually remove as cheer-
ing news from England, To show the unfavourable po-
sition recent circumstances have plunged this colony in,
we may adduce the fact that there are no less than eight
hundred cases before the Courts of Bequests this week,
which taken at a fair average amount to 4,000/."
The advices from South Australia up to the 15th of
May, state that Captain Grey, Governor of Australia,
arrived there safe. His Excellency was cordially re-
ceived by Governor Gawler's family, and there he re-
mains as a guest, until sworn in as Governor of the Pro-
vince. His Excellency's lady was delivered of a son on
the voyage.
Both the English and Foreign Securities opened this
morning with a further advance upon yesterday's prices,
and both markets are looking firmer, money being
much easier.

November Account ; Exchequer Bills, 11 13.
