CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The public markets for foreign and colonial pro-
duce have been closed since Thursday last for the
Easter holidays, but they have reopened to-day.
Tea has continued dull, but few dealings have been
recorded by private contract. Sugars have sus-
tained their previous value, and a good demand has
been experienced for coffee, rice, and cocoa. The
transactions in saltpetre have been unimportant,
With no alteration to report in prices ; and the
tallow market has been dull, very little speculative
business having been entered into for forward
delivery ; prices, however, have not shown any
material change. P.Y.C., on the spot, is quoted at
563. to 565. 3d., and for last three months 525. per
cwt.

In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a
Moderate amount of business was transacted, but
Prices had a downward tendency. The sales were
estimated at 8,000 bales.
No alteration of importance is exhibited in the
state of the Money Market, beyond a quieter tone,
resulting from the dividend payments. The quo-
tations remain unchanged, the enquiries are nume-
rous, and the dealers conduct their operations with
almost as much reserve as before. This extreme cau-
tion is attributable to the limited supplies now
available, and to the impression that the market
will retain a stringent appearance, in spite of a
little temporary relief that may be afforded by the
dividends. Besides, it is borne in mind that in
addition to £2,650,000 Victoria Railway bonds,
there are other engagements due within the next
few weeks which exceed the aggregate amount to
be released in shape of the half-year's interest on
the New Threes, Reduced Annuities, &c.

A small quantity of gold, viz., £lO,OOO, was
Withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for exporta-
tion, the supplies in the market having been ex-
hausted.

There has been very little variation to-day in the
English Stock Market, but the tendency has been
rather more favourable. At first a little depression
Prevailed, but a slight advance has occurred. Con-
sols, which have been 941 1 for transfer, and 944
for account, are now 941 a and 941 respectively.
The New Threes and the Reduced remain at 921 93 ;
the New 21 per Cents. are 781 79; Bank Stock is
firmer at 226 ; India New Loan is steady a t 1041
105; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper at 981 ti ;
ditto 51 per Cent. ditto at 104 ; and the Debentures '
have improved to 97.

Business in the Foreign Stock Market is rather
quieter, but prices in most instances are firmer.
Turkish 6 per Cents, are 79 to 799; ditto New,
611 to 62; Russian 3 per Cents. have improved
to 641 ; Mexican, to 211 d ; Sardinian, to 83; ;
Spanish 3 per Cents. to 44; and ditto Deferred,
to 344 35.
The Oeean Marine Insurance Shares are 21 I
prem., and the Universal ditto, -! prem.

Increased buoyancy has been apparent in the
Railway Share Market, most of the principal lines
being at a further improvement of about g to 1 per
Cent East Anglian have advanced ss. ; Great Wes-
tern, Brighton, North- Western, South - Western,
Midland, and South-Eastern, 10s. ; North-Eastern
(Berwick), and North-Eastern (York), 15s. ; Bris-
tol and Exeter, and Caledonian, £1 ; and Great
Northern, and Lancashire and Yorkshire, £1 10s.

The Foreign lines have been in steady request al
about former rates: Great Luxembourg, 64 ; Lom
bardo-Venetian, 11* ; and Pernambuco, 11/. .

In the Colonial Market, Grand Trunk of Canada
have declined £l, and Great Western of Canada
68.; East Indian and. Great Indian Peninsula rea•
fed previous rates.

The consent of the Academie to admit to consi-
tideration the system cf philosophy enunciated by M.
Leochet, on the subject of spontaneous generation, has
moused an immense sensation in the scientific world, as it
°Pens the endless controversy of the immortality of mat-
ter---the reason wherefore the system has been so long re-
Pouchet's researches and discoveries have been so
entirely convincing to disciples of Hegel, with whom the
Zeodernie is filled, that they have decided to waive ail hu-
4u4nrespect and allow the philosopher to speak out. The
°r is givin. g rise to the most important preparations
eombat, and will no doubt elicit the brightest argu-
dents on either side.—Medical Times.

CAUGHT BY A SHARK.—The Karnak had arrived
at dew York from Ha7annah and Nassau with Sir W. Gore
Ollseley. As she was leaving the latter port a pilot fell
oreterboard from her boat, in which he was being towed. The
bi) was stopped, and the boat instantly left for his rescue,
11e two lifebuoys were thrown from the ship. The boat
t elose enough to give him the end of an oar, which he
prc'k, and cried, "F or God's sake, save me:1" The men
dere about to haul him into the boat when he was carried
tt°,,wn by a large shark, which came up at the moment,
-.Aig the oar with him.
‘l. WIFE CHAINED AND IRONED.—On Tuesday,
~r•f• Sadler, chief constable of Stalybridge, learned that the
j.;,,e of a man named Manasseh Binns, of Caroline-street,
4°,„ been chained to a door post by her husband. Binns
Ito hear that Mr. Sadler was about paying him a visit,
ll struck off the fetters before his arrival. On going to
kt,..a house Mr. Sadler found an iron hoop, to which was
*COled a ehain three yards long, and two new padlocks,
to ch he seized. It appears that Binns has been frequen+ly
ioetste habit of locking the hoop round his wife's waist, and
the"lg the chain to a large staple which he had driven into
door post.—Manchester Courier.
ot.PROFITS OF SINGERS.—It may interest the lovers

aloY give to those who pass all competitors and stand

tlik°llB in a commercial view, as I happen to know some-
tOg about them, I may as well enlighten the public. As
oi4Btance, we will take Sig. Giuglini. He is farmed, sold
,"Rlit, for three years, to Mr. Lumley, at the rate of
sitru francs a month (i 400). The jolly farmer sells the
tii4er's services again and makes the best he can, some-
