7,532 ; ditto by season tickets, 6,874 ; total,

The Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-
Strelitz is shortly expected in this country. We regret to
say that his Royal Highness is now quite blind. His sight
had been failing some years, but we believe it is now quite
gone. This may very reasonably account for the time
chosen by the Duke for his visit, when the bustle of the
season, and all Court ceremonials are at an end. His Royal
Highness will be accompanied by his son Prince Adolphus,
a former playmate of the young Princes of our Royal
Family. The visit of the Hereditary Grand Duke will ,
therefore, be considered as quite en famille, and the greater
part of his time will be spent at Kew.—Court Journal.
A curious and interesting enterprise is about to
be carried into effect in Paris. A fac-simile of the Moniteur
Universe!, from the oommencement of the Firstßevolution
down to the restoration of the Bourbons, covering about
twenty years of the most exciting period in the history of
France, is to be published and offered for sale. The files

Our gay and gallant Premier rode to Harrow
and back on horseback on Thursday to hear the speeches.
Lord Palmerston cherishes a great affection for Harrow,
and made a great point to be present. He rode home
against time, and did the eleven miles in about an hour.

DEATH OF MR. BROUGIITON, THE MAGISTRATE.
--We regret to announce the death of Mr. Broughton, who
held for so many years the office of one of the metropolitan
police magistrates. Mr. Broughton died on Friday night,
about five o'clock, at his residence in Dorset-square.
NEW RUSSIAN LOAN.—The belief that the new
Russian loan, at the price fixed, would meet with little
favour in this country, is confirmed. It is now said that
the impression hitherto prevailing that the loan is a failure
is not accurate, a number of large houses, both here and on
the Continent, having affor,edto it a material degree of
support. That the English public, however, have held
aloof is manifest, and the indifference of the Stock Ex-
change and financial world is shown in the fact (a fact
which, by-the-way, attests the honourable conduct of the
agents for the loan in refusing to lend their countenance to
any artificial operations in the market) that the scrip i
barely saleable at par. The position of the negotia-
tion furnishes a very remarkable proof of the disfavour,
not to say discredit, into which foreign investments have
of late years fallen. Investors feel that it is better to em-
ploy their money at home, even at a lower rate of interest.

MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS•

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
From the manufacturing districts the accounts
for the past week are very unsatisfactory. The
woollen trade of Leeds has been dull, the deal-
ings entered into being only for immediate re-
quirements. Worsted yarns and piece" goods at
Bradford have been neglected, and several of
the mills are working " short time." At
Manchester increased depression has been appa-
rent. India goods, owing to the late ad-
vices from the East, have shown a marked depres-
sion. The hosiery trade at Leicester has been
steady, but the late unfavourable weather has in
a great measure checked the production of fancy
goods. Business at Birmingham has been very in-
active in all departments, and at Sheffield, Walsall,
and Wolverhampton no material change for the
better can be recorded. The iron trade of South
Staffordshire still continues very quiet.
In the Liverpool cotton market, on Saturday,

business was rather quiet, and prices were steady.
The sales were 8,000 bales. The railway share
market closed with a rather active appearance, and
quotations were higher.
The increased pressure for money has caused a
slight advance in the terms of discount, very little
accommodation being now obtainable in the gene-
ral market at the Bank of England minimum quo-
tations. The directors of that establishment are
consequently obtaining a large amount of business,
and a temporary addition to the other securities
may be anticipated. The approaching distribution
of the dividends, however, when the extensive
loans obtained on stock until the transfer books re-
open will be repaid, may speedily lead to a con-
trary movement.
There were no bullion operations at the Bank of
England on Saturday.
The sum of £5,000 has been employed in the re-1
demption of 52 Buenos Ayres 3 per Cent. Bonds,
value £20,000; and the dividend has also been ad-
vertised for payment on the 6 per Cent. sterling
Bonds.

The Africa, from New York, has arrived this
morning with £40,240, and the Ceylon, from Alex-
andria, with £1,347.
The market for Public Securities opened favour-
ably, a rise of 1 per cent. having taken place in
consequence of speculative purchases based upon
the more genial state of the weather. Consols were
931 2, but they are now 93! 1, being flatter. The
New Three per Cents. and the Reduced have im-
proved to 931 ; India 51 per Cent. Enfaced Paper
is firm at 102 ; ditto Debentures remain at 961;
and Exchequer Bills are 4s. prem.
Rather more activity has prevailed in the Fo-
reign Stock Market, and prices are steady. Turkish
13 per Cents. are 771 to 7%; ditto New, 60 to 601;
and the 4 per Cents. remain at 1021 ; Brazilian 5
per Cents. at 984 99; and Dutch 4 per Cents. at
1011 ; Portuguese are marked 43 44 ex div.;
Peruvian Uribarren, 81,Z ex div. ; Russian 41 per
Cents., 93 ex div. ; and Spanish Deferred, 391 ex
div.
The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 1 ;
prem. ; the Thames and Mersey, 11 7-, prem. ; and
the Universal, g prem. _ _ _

Business in the Railway Share Market has
been moderately active, and most of the principal
lines have been at advanced values. Edinburgh,
Perth, and Dundee, Lancashire and Yorkshire,
North-Western, North-Eastern (Berwick), and
South Eastern have improved 55.; Great Western,
'Midland, and North British, 10s. ; and Caledonian
and Eastern Counties, 15s.

The Foreign lines are heavy. Lombardo Vene-
tian realise 12.

In the Colonial Market prices have also shown
more buoyancy. Grand Trunk of Canada 28 291 ;
Great Western of Canada 11-1 ; and Great Indian
Peninsula 971 971.

Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares con-
tinue inactive. London and County have declined
ss. ; Union of London improved ss. ; Crystal
Palace brought 311 32 ; and Great Ship Company t.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE--(THIS DAT.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

PICKING POCKETS.—Two boys, named Charles Warn-
ham and Thomas Brown, were charged as follows :

William Gordon, 33G A, said that on Saturday afternoon,
in Lower Regent-street, he saw the prisoners go up to the
pockets of several persons, and among them a lady looking
in a shop window. The boy not in custody took from her
pocket a purse and passed it to Brown, upon which he
(Gordon) went up to them, when they all ran off. He
secured the two prisoners, the other escaping. The purse
produced was like the one he saw taken by the boy not in
custody.

SERIOUS ASSAULT ON A BoY.—John Manning, a rough
surly boy, was charged with assaulting a boy named Mark
Barnett, by cutting 1-am in the eve with a sword.
It appears the prisoner was fighting with several other
boys with sticks and swords in Grafton-street, Soho, at-
tacking every boy indiscriminately, when the lad Barnett,
who was passing quietly np the street with another boy,
received a severe blow in his eye with a sword, cutting his
eye very severely, the wound not being free from danger.
The prisoner denied giving the blow, but witnesses wore
called who left little doubt of the fact, and a constable
proved seeing the prisoner throw the sword away.
Remanded.
