MONEY MARKET AND CITY 1V EIITS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days have shown rather less
activity. Tea has been dull, but a few dealings
have been reported in the new season's crop, at late
quotations. Sugars, owing to the high rates de-
manded by holders, have been in some measure
neglected, and full prices are current in the Refined
Market. For coffee there has been a steady
inquiry, and fine descriptions of Plantation Ceylon
have realised an advance. Rice has been inactive,
bat quotations are steady. A fair amount of busi-
ness has been transacted in fruit, at previous rates.
Saltpetre, however, has been inactive, and a down-
ward movement has taken plate in the value of
tallow. P.Y.C., on the spot, is quoted GOs. 9d.,
and spring delivery GOs. 6d. to 61s. per evil.
The attendance of home and foreign dealers at
the public sales of colonial wool has been above
the average during the past week. For the better
descriptions of Sydney and Cape wools there has
been an active competition, and the rates established
at the commencement of the sales hare been well
maintained.

A decided improvement was exhibited in the
Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, both in the
demand and in the values; particularly as regards
American descriptions, which were td. per lb.
highor. The sales amounted to 10,000 bales.

The interest on Russian 41- per Cent. Bonds will
be paid on and after the Ist proximo.
A meeting has been convened of the Ecuador
Land Company, "for the purpose of declaring a
bonus out of the profits of the Company, and appro-
priating the same in part payment of the capital of
shares to be issued in respect of shares now sub-
scribed, and other business."

Although the minimum rate of discount remains
at 6 per cent., accommodation is obtainable in the
general market on lower terms. The opinion being
generally prevalent that a reaction will take place,
the mercantile classes limit their demands as much
Ile possible; while the banks and discount esta-
blishments for the same reason are more willing to
employ their resources even at lower quotations.
Intelligence was received yesterday afternoon to
the effect, that the contract for the £16,000,000
Turkish Loan had been signed at Paris by M.
Mires, the capitalist, who it was announced some
time since would undertake its negotiation.
The Fulton has been announced from New York
with £B,lOO in specie for England.
Very little business has been transacted in the
English Stock Market to-day, and the quotations,
although temporarily flatter during the morning,
are tolerably well maintained. Purchases effected
by the broker who operates for the Court of Chan-
cery assist in supporting values. Consols are 931 -7,-
for money and 93.11 for the account. The transac-
tions of the investing public are very limited.
The New 3 per Cents. are firmer at 91i 2, the Reduced
are rather flatter 91-1- the New 21 per Cents.
remain at 772, India Loan has improved to 103 -
t, ditto 51 per Cent. Enfaced Paper to 101, and the
Debentures to 961. Exchequer Bills are steady at
613- to 2s. dis. _ _

Business continues moderately active in the
Foreign Market, and prices show increased firm-
ness. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 73 to 731 ; ditto
New, 581 to 59 ; Portuguese have improved to 46;
Brazilian 41 per Cents. to 891; Venezuelan to 211;
and Peruvian 3 per Cents. to 73; ; Russian 3 per
Cents. remain at 621 ; and Spanish at 491.
Business in the Railway Share Market has been
rather restricted, and a slight depression has taken
Place in several of the British undertakings, Great
Northern, Lancashire and Yorkshire, South-Wes-
tern, and North-Eastern (Berwick) declined 55.,
and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, 10s.
Midlands have advanced ss. and Caledonians 15s.

The Foreign and Colonial Markets have been
exceedingly dull, with no alteration of importance
in values. South Austrian and Lombardo-Vene-
tian realise 13k; Grand Trunk of Canada 221 ;
Great Western of Canada, 11-1 a.
Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have
been inactive without any material change in
values. Union of London have improved ss.

LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—We
are pleased to learn that Mr. Robert Savill (the assistant
secretary of this company), who has during the last 27 years
been closely connected with the progress and prosperity of
the undertaking, has so far recovered from his serious indis •
position that, in the opinion of his medical advisers, it is
probable he will be able to resume his duties within a short
period.—Morning Herald.—[We sincerely trust it may be
true.—En. Sun.]
REPRESENTATION OF PEMBROKESHIRE.—Two
o
candidates_ are in the field for the representation of the
county f Pembroke, void by the elevation of Viscount
na zlyn to the peerage as Lord Cawdor. These are Mr. L.
s Philli p , the master of the local hunt, and a conservative
in pohtics, and Air
• Hugh Owen, who comes forward on
independent principles. In his address to the electors, Mr.
Owen says— ` I advocate
aa
no extreme opinions, I deprecate
rashness on the one side Ido a stand-still timidity on
the other. Change is not
is necessarilyi an improvement be-
cause it is change, neither
gress which
the exigencies _ wisdom to resist the pro-
of the time require. I claim
elect therefore, should you do me the honour to uil-
pledged and unfettered course of action," It me
tis Ba, id that
Cawdor
both parties will go to the poll. Lord gives his in-
fluence to Mr. Lort Phillips.
SOUTHWARK ELECTION.—A deputation waited
on Mr. A. H. Layard yesterday afternoon, in consequence
of a resolution passed at a large and most influential eme t-
lag held at Mr. Healey's, the St. Georg Ens Tavern, ,c3t.
George's-road, Southwark. The learned gentleman ac-
cepted the invitation held out to him, and we have reason
to believe that Mr. Layard's address will be immediately
issued. His talents and capacity will doubtless render bim
a formidable candidate.
ACCIDENTS ON THE ItITER.—At an early hour
yesterday morning a schooner, heavily laden with coals,
was sailing up the river, and when near the Kentish shore
at New Charlton, she was rill into by a brig, and received
such injuries that she rapidly filled with water, but the
crew escaped. She now lies in a very singular position,
completely on end, her stern in the water, her keel resting
on the mud, and her bow uppermost. About the same time,
a heavily laden vessel, in tow of a steam tug, by some un-
explained means got into shallow water near Blackwall, and
became so embedded that steam power was unable to extri-
cate her; and at low tide she now lies high and dry.
Loss OF LIFE BY FlRE.—Yesterday an acci-
dent of a most heartrending nature occurred at the residence
of Mrs. Dodd, 26, Botolph-lane, Tower-street, which un-
happily ended in the death of Ellen Margaret Dodd, 10 years
of age. The deceased was taking a kettle off a kitchen range,
when her dress was wafted by the wind against the bars of
the grate, and she was quickly enveloped in flames. Her
screams brought assistance, when the flames were extin-
guished., and she was conveyed to St. Thomas's Hospital,
but expired shortly after her admission.
We all know that regimental colours are con-
secrated, and generally find their last home in the aisles of
a cathedral, or in the Hall of Chelsea; but in 1763 the
colours of the 25th Regiment, then commanded by Lord
W.Lennox, having been riddled with shot at Minden, and
hanging in mere strips from the staff, were interred in
Newcastle-on-Tyne, with military honours. On the other
hand, the standards captured at Culloden were burnt by
the common hangman.—Once a Week.
THE ISMAIL.—This vessel, some days over due,
With a valuable cargo from Havre to Liverpool, was spoken
yesterday off the Isle of Man, by the steamer Ostrich, which
attempted to pass a tow line but failed. The Ismail's rudder
as damaged. A steamer left Liverpool yesterday in search
of the distressed vessel. _ The cargo of the Ismail is insured
in Liverpool and London.
