AND

The English Funds are without any change of
importance ; but a small purchase of stock by the
Government broker, and the large arrival of gold
by the Royal Charter have strengthened the
market. Business remains quiet. Foreign
Stock and Railway Share accounts absorb
the chief attention of the dealers. A small
failure was announced this morning on the Stock
Exchange, but, as the engagements of the party
in question were not very extensive, the event
has not excited much remark. Consols have
been 95 to ' 951 for money, and 951 for
account. The New Three per Cents. were
96i f, and the Reduced 951 Exchequer Bills
are Bs. to 12s. premium, and India Bonds 14s.
premium. Bank Stock is 2171, and East India
Stock, 2351.

the Foreign Mark et is firm, but not active.
Turkish 6 per Cents. are 1034 and the 4 per
Cents. are nominally without alteration. Sardi-
nian have been dealt in at 92 to"92i. Portuguese
4 per Cents., 511, Mexican, 22k, Grenada De-
ferred, 71, and Peruvian Dollar Bonds, 611.
In Railway Shares a considerable business has
been done, mostly in relation to the settlement,
this being " making np" day, and the prices have,
in some instances, improved. Edinburgh and
Glasgow, Great Western, and a few others are 10s.
to 1/. higher, but North-Eastern, Berwick, and the
Midland, on the contrary, are heavy. The French
and Belgian lines are steady, and the Colonial rule
dull.

Riga; which yesterday afternoon receded to
I prem., have recovered to to prem.
Mining, banking, and miscellaneous shares are
well supported.

The meeting of the General Screw Steam Com-
pany has just been held. The Directors' report,
which recommended the postponement of a divi-
dend, was adopted.

Saturday last the Government inspector traversed the
section of the railway from Frorne to Yeovil, which will

whole line to Weymouth, it is expected, will be coml.

SAWITART PRECAUTIONS.—Yesterday the parochial
Bethnal-green, gave orders to
officers of St. Matthew,
the inspector of nuisances for the immediate prosecution

5,0001. The inauguration will take place on the 14th
prox., the fourth anniversary of the hero's death.
RETURN OF JOHN FROST TO NEWPORT.—The town of
Newport was the scene of considerable excitement on
Monday last, owing. to the expected. arrival of John
Frost, who, it will be recollected, was banished for life
for the part he took in the Chartist riot of 1839.
SPORTSMEN'S PROSPECTS —We (Essex Herald) have
very favourable accounts of the game in the neighbour.
„hood of Romford, and there is little doubt, that good
sport will be had in the approaching season. The par-
bides are reported as being very line birds, .and the

Plentiful. , . • . _ .

CITY, Two O'CLOCK
The I Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
heavily, but, compared with Friday's rates, prices
of all ki aids were without change. The sales were
estimate Id at 5,000 bales, of which 1,500 have been
taken f, )r export, and 500 on speculation. The
sales in( .duded 70 Pernam and Maranham, at 7d.
to lid. ; 50 Bahia, 6d. to 60. ; 3iio Egyptian,
Bid. tr • 70. ; and 400 Surat, 4d. to sd. In the
Share Market there was very little doing, without
any pa rticular change in prices.
Con imercial adrices from the Continental Coffee
Markiats, up to the close of last week, report a
steady -trade, with firmness in prices. At Ant
werp soi ne large sages of St. Domingo for exporta-
tion real ised 3111 to 32c., which may be considered
an advai ice on previous quotations. In Brazilian
coffees th e market is firm, and the supplies from
thence ape not equal to the demand for exporta-
tion. Safes of 6,5001 bags res2,ised 28/c. for good
qualities, and 22 to 24c. for lower kinds. The
stock in first and second hands is estimated at
about 62,000 bags, o•f which 37,000 are Brazils,
9,000 St. Domingo, 1f i,OOO Java, and 1,000 other
sorts.

Amsterdam business is limited in Java coffees,
but the price has no revived, and good green or-
dinary sorts are nc lower than 321 c. In Brazil
kinds a few transact ions have taken place at pre-
vious quotations. r.f he Commercial Society of the
Low Countries hair a announced their public sales
of coffee as follows —At Amsterdam on the Ist of
September 322,717 bags, Java ;at Rotterdam on
the 4th ditto, 233,:: ;68 bags Java, and 5,736 ditto
Padang ; and at M iddleburg on the 9th Septem-
ber 63,129 bags J ava. At Hamburg coffee has
been in demand, an, 1 holders are standing out for an
advance of 1-16th t •,o sch. Brazil qualities are
quoted at 4 sch to 1 i sch.
The advices bros Jght by the Royal Charter,
which has arrived u ith 181,000 ounces of gold and
10,000 sovereigns, state that commercial affairs
were in a sound con ;dition, and there was an entire
absence of speculat ion. The production of gold
was steadily increasing, and the quantity brought
down from the diggings by escort continued large.
From Sydney tb .e accounts report favourably
upon the various co 'mmercial markets. But busi-
ness was not active. There was a good demand
for gold, and, the supply being limited,
prices had advance. 1. They were 2s. per ounce
higher than at Poi t Philip, and it was expected
that large remittanc Aes would, consequently, be re-
ceived from that colony.
At a meeting of th e creditors of Messrs. J. G.
Margetti and Sor.s, o i'ho suspended payment on the
18th ult., it was statf !d that the liabilities exceeded
the assets by 18,0(X )l. 14s. 7d. It was agreed to
wind up the affairs of the firm under the inspection
of four of the principal creditors.
