MONEY MAREET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

During the last few days there has not been
much activity in the Foreign and Colonial Pro-
duce Markets. Tea has been very dull, owing to
the approach of the public sales. Sugars have
only been in limited request, because high rates
are demanded by holders ; and in the refined
market prices have been fully sustained. For
coffee there has been a moderate inquiry without
any material change in values. Rice has been
dealt in to a fair extent, and prices have shows
an advancing tendency. In fruits and spices a
seasonable business has been done at late rates.
Saltpetre has continued in limited demand, and
less buoyancy has been apparent in the Tallow
Market, owing to the large arrivals from Russia.
P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 60s. 6d., and spring
delivery, 61s. per cwt.
There were no bullion operations of importance
at the Bank of England yesterday.
At the forthcoming meeting of the Inter Colonial
Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, a dividend at
the rate of 71 per cent. annum will be proposed.
Notice has been given by the Spanish Financial
Commission that the auction of the Foreign Re-
deemable Debt will take place at Madrid on the
29th instant, for which purpose the Government
have assigned 833,020 reals.

A fair amount of business was recorded in the
Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices
exhibited no change of importance. The sales were
10,000 bales.

In addition to the Water Nymph with £321,800,
the following vessels have left Australia for this
country, viz., the Salsette with £55,000, the Sussex
with £248,644, and the Anglesea with £230,390.
The Money Market remains in a steady position
owing to the moderate requirements of the com-
mercial community. Capitalists, however, are
asking full terms for the accommodation they afford,
as a further rise seems to be anticipated.
The advance in the rate of discount by the Bank
of France has operated unfavourably upon the
Paris Bourse, and the adverse effect has extended
to the Stock Markets here, the funds having slightly
declined in consequence. It has not led, however,
to any material increase of business, the specula-
tive dealings, as well as operations for transfer,
being limited. Consols are 93,1; for money, and
931 1 for the account. The New Three per Cents.
and the Reduced have, receded to 911 4 ; Long
Annuities to 161 1. India Stock is firm at 222
224; ditto New Loan is steady at 1031 ; ditto
5i per Cent. Rupee Paper has improved to 1011 ;
and Exchequer Bills to 3s. dis. and par.
Business in the Foreign Stock Market is
Moderately active, but prices tend downwards.
Turkish 6 per Cents. are 71 to 711 ; ditto New,
871 to 571; Mexican have receded to 211; Peruvian
to 941; Portuguese to 45 ; Venezuelan 3 per Cents.
to 221; and ditto 11 per Cents. to 111 ; Buenos
Ayres Deferred remains at 301; and Russian 3 per
Cents. at 621; but Sardinian are firmer at 861 87.
Ocean Marine Insurance shares are 14 2 prem. ;
Thames and Mersey, 1 prem.; and the Universal,
prem.

The committee of Mexican Bondholders have
received a letter from Mr. Whitehead, dated Mexico
the 15th ult., and another from Messrs. Vuga Bros.,
of Vera Cruz, dated 20th ult. Th e latter reports
that although it had been the intention of the Vera
Cruz authorities to resume the payment of the as-
signments to the British Bondholders and Conven-
tion Creditors on all cargoes arriving after the
13th of September last, yet their necessities had
Compelled them to prolong the suspension till the
31st proximo, of which they had officially in-
formed the British Consul at the port. The Vera
Cruz letter of the 20th ult. does not, however,
allude to it.

The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
been limited, and prices have in some instances
shown less firmness. Caledonian, Manchester,
Sheffield, and Lincoln have declined ; Lancashire
and Yorkshire, North Western, South Western,
North Eastern (Berwick), and West Midland, 10s.;
and South Eastern, 15s.

The Foreign lines continue very quiet. South
Austrian and Lombardo :Venetian being firm at
12i1.

In the Colonial Market prices were a shade
firmer. East Indian rose to 1011; Great Western of
Canada to 111 ; and Grand Trunkof Canada, 211.
Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
have remained firm at previous quotations.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(TBIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
11.011BERY ISY A SERVANT GIRL.--Emma. Scanlan, 15,
servant to Mr. George Smith, beershop.keeper, 46, Upper
Marylebone-street, was charged before Mr. Beadon with
stealing a silver watch and chain, and knife, the property
of her master. _ .

From theevidence of the prosecutor, it appeared that
about 11 the previous, night his wife informed him that the
watch, which he had wound up at 8 o'clock, and seen safe
in the dressing room table drawer, was gone.. knowing
that no one had been upstairs, and that it could not have
been taken out by a regular thief, he sent for a constable,
who searched the house, and at length found tllewatch and
chain and knife wrapped in paper, stuffed -in the copper
hole.

The prisoner said she was guilty, and was sentenced to
three months' hard labour.

THE APPROACHING BALL IN GUILDHALL.--The
necessary arrangements are being made for the grand ball
to be held on Thursday next in Guildhall in the interest of
the London Rifle Brigade. A committee, consisting partly
h e
of members of the_ Ceurt of Common
superior officers of the brigade, has been for some
weeks in directing and superintending the :reparations.
The elaborate fittings and works of art with which the hall
was decorated for the great civic entertainment of 'day
last will remain intact to Friday the forthcoming zete ;
the issue of tickets has been considerable, and a brilliant
