MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days have been rather active.
Sugars have been in good demand at slightly
enhanced quotations, and at the public sales of tea
late prices were well maintained for good and
ordinary descriptions. Coffee has been dull
owing to the large quantity offered at public sale.
IR rice, spices, and fruit the dealings have been to
a moderate extent, the value of raisins being con-
siderably enhanced by the smallness of the stocks
on hand. Saltpetre has continued in fair request,
and an increased business has been done in tallow,
chiefly however of a speculative character, P.Y.C.
on the spot being quoted 60s. 6d. to 61s. ; and
spring delivery, 61s. 6d. to 625. per cwt.
A fair amount of business was recorded in the
Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday at about previ-
ous rates. The sales were estimated at 15,000
bales.
The preparations for the engagements due on
the 4th inst. have produced very little effect upon
the general condition of the money market, the
demand not having materially increased, while the
rates continue to range a fraction below the Bank
of England minimum.
About £50,000 was withdrawn from the Bank of
England yesterday.
The Royal mail steamer Atrato, which leaves to-
day for the West Indies, will take out £10,400, vii.,
£6,000 in gold and £4,400 in silver.
The Oneida has been announced this morning
from the Brazil with £27,490, and the Vanderbilt
from New Tork with £31,190 in specie.
Very little alteration is apparent in the English
Stock Market, business being extremely dull, but
the quotations have exhibited rather more firmness.
The efflux of gold from the Bank, which points to
the probability of an ultimate advance in the rate
of discount, still creates an unfavourable feeling
among the operators, but no disposition is shown
to enter largely into speculative engagements.
Consols are 92/ to 93 for money, and 93 to 934 for
the December account. The New Threes are fiat at
911 ; the Reduced are steady at 911 ; and the
New 24 per Cents., at 771 ; India Stock is at 2201 ;
ditto New Loan is firm at 1024 to 1031 ; but Bank
Stock has receded to 231 ; and Exchequer Bills are
heavy at 3s. die. to par.
Business in the Foreign Stock Market has been
rather active, and prices have improved. Turkish
6 per Cents. are 71 to 714 ; ditto New, 53 to 581 ;
Mexican have advanced to 221 ; Brazilian 44 per
Cents. to 88 1; Portuguese to 441 ; Russian 44 per
Cents. to 94 4 ; Spanish to 49 ; ditto Deferred to

TILE 87.1.18ERT COMMISSION. I 81

11E RWICK P ON-TWEED.
The eoinmissioners re-assembled this morning in the
Committee-room No. 10, House of Commons. Ol
The witness William M'Gall, iu accordance with the et
direction of the Royal Commissioners, produced a list of 6',
persons to whom he had given portions of the sum of £5OO 81
which had been given to him by Colonel Gordon for die-
tribution amongst the poor and needy of the town. The el
list contained the names of about 20 or 30 persons, and the '4l
total accounted for was £9B. Many of the persons in the 6
list he said were dead, and most of the others had left the
place. The chairman said the account was far from satis-
factory, and he (witness) must produce a fuller statement s
than the one rendered. The examination of M'Gall

was then proceeded with, with a view of ascer
!sluing whether he gave any money on the fol
lowing day in May, 1858, or in April, 1859. The
witness denied that en either of these occasions had he
given any money to any of the electors for the purpose of
Ia fluencing their votes. He said he certainly did not give 8'
Miller any money, although it had been stated that he had.
M'Gall was then examined with respect to his being in
the cellar of the Woolpack Inn, on the following day, and I
at its termination the chairman said the evidence he had
si
ad given on that point was contradicted in every mate- 81
rial point by the former witnesses, and no person could
volt but that he (M‘Gall) was committing wilful perjury, sti
The examination of this witness occupied the whole day.

grapher,
Mr. Legrsy, the celebrated French photo
has met with a sad accident in Syria. He was with a
French expedition, on a professional excursion, and Fuad
Pasha had given him an escort of an officer and 50 men,
under whose guard he proposed to take views in the moun-
tains, but wb.en near Damascus he received a kick from the
horse of the French envoy, which broke his leg. By the
last account's, however, he was going on well, and had not
given up the hope of bringing home some reminiscences of
his journey in strange lands.
The Proqres of Lyons states that the accounts
received of the late crops and of the operations of the
autumn sowings are favourable.
THE POTATO CROP IN EOLITH ESSEX.—We regret
to say the potato growers in this division of the county have
suffered to a very considerable extent by the failure of the i
crop. In many instances the crop has been ploughed n, or
sold at the rate of £1 per ton for feeding of cattle. The
loss of some of the largest growers is variously estimated
from £5OO to £2,000 and £3,000.—Essex Standard.
CHEM.—The third day's play in the great chess
match, between essrs. Horwitz and Kolisch, took place
yesterday afternoon. The attendance of members was on
this occasion unusually large, and the general interest of
the chess fraternity, centred upon this closely contested
struggle, appears to be of a nature rarely paralleled. The
result was a second success on the part of Mr. Kolisch ;
while Mr. Horwitz, so far, has won but a'single game.
Play is appointed to be resumed to-day.
