MONEv MARKET AND CITY NEWS•

CITY, Two o'CLocx.
During the past week there has been little alte-
ration of importance in the general state of trade
throughout the manufacturing districts. Business
it seems has been dull, the chief operations having
been in heavy cloths for the ho me winter demands.
Wools and yarns at Bradford were inactive; and in
the piece goods departments the chief proportion of
the business transacted was for seasonable goods
for the American markets. At Leicester wools and
yarns were in fair request, but worsted hosiery
continued in active demand, owing to the smallness
of stocks in the hands of the manufacturers. At
Manchester less activity has prevailed in the in-
quiries for India goods ; for the home markets,
however, the demand has slightly improved, parti-
cularly for printing cloths. Business in the various
hardware districts has continued moderately active,
and at Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton
the operatives generally are well employed.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday
business continued active, and prices were well
supported. The sales were 15,000 bales.
The demand for money is steadily maintained,
but the market continues quiet, and the rates ap-
pear rather easier, in consequence of the large
available supplies. Trade throughout the coun-
try is comparatively quiet, but a steady
business is in progress, which is sufficient
to create a fair inquiry for discount accommodation,
and it is not generally expected that the rates will
descend much lower, although a little temporary
relief may be afforded by the release of the October
dividends, the payment of which will commence
on the 12th inst.
On the Stock Exchange there is gill a scarcity
of money, owing to the large sales of securities for
delivery, and the terms for advances still range- at
3-3- to 4 per cent.
The traffic receipts of the Great Western Rail-
way of Canada for the week ending the 21st ult.
exhibited an increase of £B,BOl compared with the
same period in 1859.
Business in the corn market to-day was inactive,
and inferior descriptions of wheat were at rather
easier rates.
There has been very little animation in the mar-
ket for the English Funds to-day, and the prin-
cipal dealings are connected with the impending,
liquidation. Although there is a paucity of busi-
ness, however, prices remain steady, Consols being

at 931 tl for money and 11th inst., and about 931;

for November. India Stock has improved to 22

ditto New Loan to 1031 71; but the Debentures are
at 96-Z &. Exchequer Bills are firm at 2s. to ss.

A fair amount of business has been recorded in
the Foreign Securities, and prices, in some instances,

show less firmness.

little salle in her Majesty's Theatre, known as the concert
room. M. Talexy is to be the director, and will commenc
his season early in November.
lierapath observes that Mr. Matthew Uzielli—
whose death took place cn Friday at Ostend—began life in
the French house of Messrs. Charles Devaux and Co., of
London, in the humble capacity of a clerk, at a salary, as
we have heard, of ss. or 7s. a week. His remarkable
activity and ability for finance soon brought him under the
notice of his principals, and at length raised him to be a
partner in the house, a directer of the South-Western, the
Great Luxembourg, and other railways at home and abroad.
RETIREMENT OF AN INSPECTOR OF POLICE.—
Mr. Colin Grant, an inspector of the C division of police,
has lately retired, after a service of 20 years, upwards of
10 years of which in the D division. Mr. Grant is a mem-
ber of a highly respectable family, and,
esteem and respect in which he is held, it i as a proof of the
s merely necessary
to state that the inhabitants of Paddington, a short time
since, presented him with a testimonial of a watch and chain
of the value of 60 guineas, Mr. Grant having also received
high testimonials from several metropolitan magistrates.
RE-OPENING OF NEWGATE-STREET FOR TRAFFIC.
—The traffic between the City and west and north-western
districts of the metropolis has, for the last fortnight, been
forced to leave the main route, and obliged to pass through
Smithfield and Little Britain, in consequence of the re-
paving of Newgate.street. On Saturday evening the
workmen employed in the execution of the relaying of the
roadway completed their task, and the street is again open.

The affidavit on which the motion was grounded stated that

appointed the applicant one of the testamentary guardians of
the children, and directed that they should be brought up

RECOVERY OF STOLEN PROPERTY THROUGH A
DREAM.—Abouta fortnight since a lady in the
.neighbour-
hood. of Huddersfield was troubled with a areain
anweh
piPictured to her the loss of her silver plate. she lt raa which
cturedmadema a-
pression on her mind, and the next morning
search. In an unused drawer which she had kept locked had
up for more than a year and a half, she believed she
an old silver cup, which had long been in the possession
of the family, together with a number of teaspoons.
Nei-
ther the spoons nor the cup had been seen by her during
the interval, but the drawer was now opened and examined.
The dream was verified. The silver cup was missing,
and as no one but herself had ever had legitimate access
to the drawer, she came to the conclusion, that it must
have been stolen. Accordingly the police -were commu-
nicated with. In the early part of the past week, they
received a communication from Halifax, stating that a
silver cup corresponding in description to that supposed
to have been stolen, was in pledge for 335. at a pawnshop
in that town. It- was redeemed, and proved to be the
identical cup belonging to the lady. She was fully enabled
to swear to rt, as the initials "A. C. A." were engraved on
the front. The last time it was seen by the lady was on
the occasion of her removal to her present premises, when
a man was employed to assist. That was about a year and
a half ago, and the cup has been in pawn ever since May
last. It was pledged by a man who gave the name of
" Brown, from Manchester," but there is nothing known of
itire
likely to load to his identity,—,ll-Wersitek ,Chronicle,
