Major-Gen. C. C. Hay, Inspector-Gen. of Musketry,
accompanied by Capt. John isigitty, Deputy-Assist...Adjt.
Gen., visited Pembroke dock on Friday last, for the annual
inspection as to progress in musketry made by the officers
and men of the Bth depot battalion, and was, we under.
stand, highly pleased with them.
The gunsheds at Pembroke dock, for the reception of two
18-pounder field batteries have now been completed, and
the guns housed in them. They are built inside the. hut
cantonment, which is rather inconvenient for the Artillery
have charge of the guns, it being at such a distance
from their barracks.

Capt. H. W. H. Dumaresq, R.E., has joined the Royal
Engineer establishment, Brompton-barraeks, Chatham,
and received over the command of the 4th Company of
Royal Engineers, recently arrived from India, from Lieut.
G. S. Berkeley, who proceeds to Dublin, to be attached to
the Royal Engineer staff at that station.
The 27th Company of Royal Engineers, under the com-
mand of Capt. Durnford, will, it is expected, shortly pro-
ceed to Gibraltar. Its strength has been raised to 120 non-
commissioned officers and men.
The Royal Pembroke Artillery, under the command of
Lieut.-Colonel Owen, were inspected on the Portfield,
Haverfordwest, on Saturday last, by Col. Lord Frederick

MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocic.

During the last few days there has been in-
creased activity in the Foreign and Colonial Pro-
duce Market. Sugars have been in more request,
and the finer descriptions have realised advanced
values. Coffee, owing to the large quantity an-
nounced for public safe, has been neglected ; and
tea, in the absence of advises from China, and
pending the quantity to be submitted to public
competition at the sales to-day, has also been dull.
'Rice has continued in demand at fully the late
advance, and a fair amount of business has been
done in fruit. At the public sales of cinnamon
rather higher rates were obtained than those rea-
lised at the last July auctions. Saltpetre has
been in steady request ; and for tallow there has
still continued a good speculative demand. Prices
continue steady at 595. 3d. per cwt. on the spot,
and for spring delivery. The next public sales of
foreign and colonial wool will commence on the
15th November, and the quantity to be offered is
about 40,000 bales, nearly the half of which is
from the Cape of Good Hope.
There were no bullion operations of importance
at the Bank of England yesterday.
Notice has been given that 15 Swedish Provincial
Mortgage Bonds of 1852, amounting to £2,950, will
be paid off at par on the Ist of December next.
To-day a call of £2 10s., amounting to £206,250,
is due on the London, Chatham, and Dover Metro-
politan Extension B shares.
A meeting has been called for Friday next of the
First-class Preference Bondholders of the Grand
Trunk of Canada Railway.

In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday great
excitement prevailed, and prices advanced id. to
Id. per lb., owing to the confirmation of the re-
ported severe frost in the Southern States of
America. The sales amounted to 25,000 bales.

Money continues in steady request, but notwith-
standing the accommodation that will be required
at the end of the week for the bills due on the 4th,
the rates continue steady, and without any symp-
toms of an upward tendency.
The traffic receipts of the Great Northern Rail-
way of Canada for the week ending the 12th inst.
'exhibited an increase of £1,595, compared with the
same period last year.
Owing to some purchases of stock for investment,
allowed by a few others on speculative account,
the funds have advanced a per cent., Consols being
93 to 931 for money, and 931 for the December
account. A much better feeling prevails, not only
in this department, but also in the Foreign Stock
and Railway markets. The New Threes are firm at
911 1, the Reduced at 911 1 ; the New 21 per Cents.
are 771, and Exchequer Bills are steady at 2s. dis.
2s. prem. ; Bank Stock has receded to 231; India
ditto has improved to 220 to 221, and ditto New
Loan remains at 103.

Business in the Foreign Stock Market continues
quiet, and prices generally show rather less
heaviness. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 70 to 701;
ditto New, 551 to 56 ; and the 4 per Cents. are
1011 4 ; Mexican are flat, at 221; Spanish, at 481 ;
Venezuelan 21 per Cents. are firm, at 221 ; Buenos
Ayres at 94i, and Brazilian 41 per Cents. at 881.
The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 11 to 2
prem. ; the Thames and Mersey, t 1 prem. ; and
the Universal, prem.

The detAlings in the Railway Share Market have
been chiefly connected with the arrangements in
progress for the liquidation of the account, and
prices in some instances have shown an improving
tendency. Great Westerns, North Westerns, South
Westerns, and Midlands have declined ss. ; North
Eastern (Berwick), ss. to 10s.; and South Eastern,
108. Eastern Counties, however, have declined ss.

The Foreign Market has continued very dull.
Bahia and San Francisco realise 81 ; and San
Paulo, 1.
In the Colonial undertakings prices have been
a shade firmer. Grand Trunk of Canada Stock has
improved to 231 241 ; and Great Western of
Canada to 131 I. East Indian are steady at 100.
Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are
inactive, and remain at former quotations.

THE BARON DE BUNSEN.—We hear with sincere
regret that the illness under which Baron Bunsen has been
for some time suffering has suddenly taken so dangerous a
turn that the absent members of his family have been sum-
moned to the family residence at Bonn ; only, it is feared,
tobe present at the deathbed of this distinguished man,
whose loss would be lamented by a large circle of friends in
England,
