CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The money market-during the last few days has
not undergone any change of importance, the de-
mand being moderate, while the rates charged for
accommodation have still tended downwards.
Rather more business may now be expected conse-
quent upon the Stock Exchange settlements, and
the large supply of commercial bills which will
arrive at maturity on Monday next. The rates at
present are rather irregular, but they still range a
trifle below 4 per cent., and the mercantile clauses
find no difficulty in obtaining all the accommoda-
tion they require. _ . .

The fullinger frauds still attract much attention
in the City, owing to the investigation now being
made by the Stock Exchange Committee with re-
gard to another broker who is stated to have tran-
sacted business for that delinquent. The result
will probably be known in the course of a few
days, and in the meantime currency is given to a
variety of exaggerated rumours with regard to the
extent of the operations in this particular case.
At the Bank of England yesterday there were no
bullion operations of public • importance. The bar
silver by the last West India packet has been sold
at ss. lid. per oz. standard, being without altera-
tion ; and the dollars have been disposed of at
ss. 21d. per oz., showing an advance of Id. com-
pared with the price realised for the previous
supply.

The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon ex-
hibited no change of importance.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
with a very inactive appearance, and prices were
depressed. The sales only amounted to 4,000
bales. The railway business continued limited,
but quotations were fully supported.
The market for Public Securities has not pre-
sented an animated appearance to-day, but the
quotations have rather tended downwards, partly
in consequence of the flatter tone of the Paris
Bourse ; speculation being very dull, a few dealings
are sufficient to influence prices. Consols,
however, are 951 4 for money and account, being
only 9 per cent. lower. It appears that a large
amount of stock for transfer has been disposed of,
which has contributed to the prevailing weakness
of quotations. The New Three per Cents. are steady
at 931 e ; the Reduced are firm at 93/ 1; India
Loan remains at 10611 ; ditto 5 per cent. Enfaced
Paper at 102,1 and 103 ; and Exchequer Bills are
is. to 102. prem., being without alteration.
There is no alteration of importance in Foreign
Securities, and the transactions have been exceed-

ingly limited. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 744 to
75 ; ditto New, 574 to 57/ ; Dutch 21 per Cents.
are flat; at 66 ; and Mexican at 24 ; Brazilian 44
per Cents. remain at 91 ; but the Scrip had re-
ceded to 4 dis. ; Spanish have receded to 474 48.
The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 24
prem.; the Universal ditto, 1 4 prem.; and the
Thames and Mersey ditto, 14 4 prem.
Business in the Railway Share Market has been
rather dull, the chief attention of the dealers and
speculators being directedlo the settlement of the
usual half-monthly account, Several of the prin-
cipal lines, however, have shown an upward move-
ment, owing to the favourable character of the
traffic returns. Caledonian, North-Eastern (Ber-
wick), end South-Eastern, have improved 55.;
Great Western, and Lancashire and Yorkshire, 15s. ;
and North Westerns, 15s. Eastern Counties have
declined about ss.

In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings the
transctions have been extremely limited. Great
Luxembourg realise about former rates. Great
Western of Canada . have improved ss. ; Grand
Trunk of Canada, 10s.; East Indian, 55.; and
Great Indian Peninsula, ss.

Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
have shown no material variation. London and
Westminster have declined to 611. Ottoman
Bank improved to 171. Canada Lpd are 120, and
Peel River Land 46.

GENERAL GARIBALDI'S EXPEDITION.—The in-
formation that General Garibaldi, on the 6th of May, took
with him his only son, as contained in a letter received by
the Opinion Nationale, and circulated by several papers, is
not correct, as the general has two sons, the youngest of
whom; 13 years of age, is being educated at New Brighton
College, near Liverpool, under the care of the Rev. Dr.

Poggi.
The New York advices yesterday are favourable
as regards the stock and money markets. The rate of ex-
change was steady, but the amount of bullion to be sent to
England by the next steamers was not likely to be large.
Another instance Of: j)Olitical malversation had just tran-
spired, Mr. J. V. Foidef, 'the postmaster of New York.
having just abs&A.ded, 16aN.,ing a deficit of £31,000. He
had held office for 'seven years, an unusually prolonged
term for any American functionary, at. d is described as a
highly popular politician. Loans to partisans and specu-
lations on the Stock Exchange are said to have been the
channels of loss. His friends had notified their firm deter-
ruination that he should not be capsured, adding that he
was already in a place of security 300 miles from the city,
and that a fund would bo raised to enable a compromise to
be effected with the Government at Washington.
THE NEW BISHOP.--4137 the translation of the
Hon. and Rev. Dr. Montagu Villiers from the see of Carlisle
to that of Durham, Dr. Wigram, the newly-consecrated
Bishop of Rochester, obtains a seat in the House of Lords.
The new Bishop of Carlisle, whoever he may be, will re-
main out of Parliament until a vacancy occurs among the
members of the Episcopal Bench, other than the two Arch-
bishops or the Bishops of London, Durham, and Win-
chester.

THE LY-EE-MOON STEAMSHIP.—This vessel being
completed, a trial of her speed was made on the river yes-
terday. She attained the astonishing speed, under steam
alone, of 16i knots an hour, being above 19 miles an hour
in still w4ter. This vessel is built for the China trade,
upon the proportions given by the commander, Captain
Norman Hill. The constructors of the hull being the
Thames Iron Ship Building Company ; engines by Seaward
and Co. She is 1,000 tons burden, and 350 nominal horse-
power, and is.fitted. with all recent improvements for steam-
ships of the . first class. A numerous company were on
board, including Mr. Dent, Mr. P. Holt, Mr. Ash (designer
of the ship), Mr. Galloway, and Mr. Brunel.
EDUCATION IN NORFOLK.—An action has been
heard in the Norfolk Country Court, to recover L 2 155.,
alleged to be due on a promissory note. The following is
a literal copy of this precious document :—" I here by pro-
mise to pay James Spragg senor Grimston the sume of two
Pounds 15 Shilings at my Disease Be fore My Body is
Moved out of this House. Slued THOMAS HOWA.RD."
" I hare by cirty that i Witness this shied by Mr Tomas
Howard. WILLIAM RUDD." The plaintiff, who admitted,
in reply to the judge, that ho was bringinc, an action against
a dead man, was non-suited, the deceased, " Mr. Tomas
Howard," not having left any will or any assets.
SIR CHARLES BARRY AND THE COMPLETION OF
HIS GREAT WORE..—It is said that the very da first
named for his funeral was one on which the great architect
of our age might hale hoped to crown with the Royal
standard the superb Tower of Westminster, just finished—
the dearest wish of his late years having been the desire to
live to see it complete.—Builder.

intendeni Braidwood, is about to be established in Dublin
with a dozen large and powerful engines and stations as
wellas Pre escapes. Rewards will be given to persons who

of disciplined men at the stations will be maintained.
A RAILWAY GUARD KILLED.—An inquest was
held yesterday by Mr. Hertford. city coroner, on the body
of James Mitchell Smith, late of Sheffield-street, Ardwick,
a goods guard in the employ of the Manchester, Sheffield,
and Lincolnshire Railway Company. On the 7th inst. the
deceased got between some waggons at the Guide Bridge
station. for the purpose of uncoupling them, and gave the
driver the signal to proceed. In getting away one of the
buffers of a waggon caught him, knocked him down, and
the wheel passed over his leg. He died at the Manchester
Royal Infirmary on Sunday. The deceased was 40 years
old, and has left a widow and two children. A verdict of
accidental death was retumed.--illanchester Guardian.
