NO KEY MARKET . AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The accounts from the manufacturing districts
during the past week mention that business in most
departments has shown no material alteration with
regard to the demand for textile fabrics. The
woollen cloth trade at Leeds has continued dull,
but prices are generally well sustained. Business
at Manchester has been extremely inactive, only
limited dealings having been effected on India
goods. At Bradford a slight improvement has taken
place in the inquiries for heavy cloths suitable
to the American markets. Wools and yarns were
quiet, but realised fully late prices. At Leicester a
steady amount of business has been done in worsted
hosiery. The high price of the raw material, how-
ever, has decidedly interfered with the production
of stocks. The wool market continued quiet. In
the various hardware districts there has been no
change of importance. Rather more activity has
prevailed in some branches of business at Birming-
ham; but at Sheffield, Walsall, and Wolverhamp-
ton only moderate dealings have taken place in
the principal staples of the neighbourhood. The
iron trade of South Staffordshire, however, has
shown symptoms of increasing activity.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday
business continued rather active, and prices tended
upwards. The sales amounted to 12,000 bales.
It transpired on Saturday afternoon that Messrs.
J. and E. Williams, sugar agents, &c., had been
compelled to stop payment, in consequence of the
failure of Mr. Holmaear, refiner, of Whitechapel,
and some excitement naturally ensued in the
neighbourhood of Mincing-lane.
About £35,000 in gold was withdrawn from the
Bank of England on Saturday.
To•day a call of £lO per share, amounting to
£40,000, is due on the Danube and Black Sea Rail-
way Shares.
The traffic receipts of the Great Western Rail-
way of Canada for the week ending the 20th ult.,
exhibited an increase of £1,894 compared with the
corresponding period in 1859.
There is a steady demand for money, and the
qnotations show no variation, first class securities
being still negotiated in the general market 8 or
per cent, below the Bank of England minimum;
but the uncertain prospect of monetary affairs con-
sequent upon the flow of gold to the Continent cause
capitalists to proceed with caution. The future
sourse of the quotations mainly depends upon the
specie movement, and the continuous withdrawals
of gold from the Bank, in the absence of fresh ar-
rivals from Australia, &c., induce most persons to
believe that increased restrictions will have to be
enforced.

A moderate business bas been transacted to-day
in the Market for Public Securities, which now de-
rives some support from purchases in anticipation
of the dividend. The advices from the Continent
also appear less discouraging, and a better feeling
generally prevails. Consols have been 93-: for
money, and 93,4 it- for the account. The New
Threes and the Reduced have improved to 914 ;
India 5 per Cent. Rupee Paper is heavy, at 91;
ditto 51 per Cent. remains at 101; ditto Debentures
are steady at 96! ; but Exchequer Bills are flat
at 3s. discount.

A fair amount of business is recorded in the
Foreign Securities, and prices are tolerably well
supported. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 711 to 711 ;
ditto New, 571 to 58 ; Brazilian are firmer at 982
99; ditto 41 per Cents. at 89; Sardinian at 861 ;
Spanish at 491 ; ditto Deferred have advanced to
401 ; but Mexican are flat at 22 ; and Portuguese
15 per Cents. at 1051.
Ocean Marine Insurance shares are 14 21 prem. ;
Thames and Mersey, T. 7, prem.; and the Universal,
1 prem.

Business in the Railway Share Market has con-
tinued moderately active, and several of the prin-
cipal lines have shown increased firmness. Caledo-
nians and Midlands have improved 55., and Great
Westerns 10s. South Easterns, however, declined
ss. North Westerns, South Westerns, Brighton,
and London and Blackwall realised previous rates.
In the Foreign Market there were few dealings
of importance. South Austrian and Lombardo •
Venetian however improved to 121

The Colonial lines were in steady request.
East Indian advanced to 1001 101, and Great
Indian Peninsula realised 961 ; Grand Trunk of
Canada were steady at 203, to 21 ; and Great
Western of Canada improved to 11Z- to 111.

Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
have shown depression. London and Westminster
receded 5p.; Crystal Palace, is. ; and Royal Mail
Stearn, £l.

LEPRESENTATION OF NEWCASTLE.,—On Friday
eve: lung Mr. Carstairs addressed a large meeting in the
Ch.( me, Newcastle-on-Tyne. At the close of his speech,
and after the usual cross-fire of test question; it was
moved that Mr. Carstairs was a suitable person to repre-
sent the borough in Parliament. An amendment was
brought forward importing that a member was wanted who
would give effect to the principles of political and other
reform "on the broadest possible basis." A show of hands
was taken, when the original motion was declared to be
carried.

C C)NSECRATION OF A ROMAN CATHOLIC ARCH-
-liiiiict)p BRISTOL.—The Rev. Dr. and Monsignor Eng-

Brisb al, having been appointed by the Holy See Arch-
bisho p of Trinidad, his

LORD ABERDEEN.—We regret to say that there
is little chance of the country again benefittiag by the pre-
sence and advice of the Earl of Aberdeen in Parliament.
The voble earl is not suffering from any specific disorder,
but there has been such a rapid failing of strength, both
meats d and physical, that any exertion of either kind for
the future is quite beyond hope. The decadence of
atrerLgth in the ex-Premier since he quitted office has been
l'err remarkable. It is not forgotten that, while all the
men tbers of his Cabinet were seeking reldiation during the
"race tion, the chief never once quitted town, but continued
to 0 cupy himself with political correspondence and the
routine duties of his office " all the year round ," and it is,
Perhaps, owing to that continued strain on his faculties and
eenstitation. that its gradual break-up is now attributable.
OCRING AND FATAL ACCIDENT IN HEN-
tinDl'A-STREET, COVENT-GARDEN.-011. Saturday morn-
ing, irectly after eleven, a shocking accident, which in a
lu,,em.E.nt terminated fatally, occurred in Henrietta-street,
ovezott-garden. A man, whose name is understood to be
,_‘,
n, was wheeling a truck belonging tO his employers,
Messy s. Sewell and Pratt, of Camden Town, when a wag-
gon a:3proaching- him behind, and belonging to Mr. Love-
Joy, arket -gardener, of Barnes, caught the wheel of the
truck, and turned it round with great violence and rapidity.
The Than who was drawing the truck was in an instant
rowu against the wheels of the waggon, and his head
Went between the spokes. As the wheels were revolving,
it was of course impossible for him to extricate himself, and
the consequence was that his head was smashed to pieces,
and ao completely torn away that it merely hung to the
Lody by a thin piece of skin belongin4 to the neck. The
blood flew out in large quantities and in all directions, and
the sight was a most sickening one. The body was con •
. v
eyed to the dead-house of the parish, there to await an
aqueet.
