DEATH. OF MONS. G. J. SURENNE.—This vene-
rable and respected citizen, knowii and loved by more than
one generation of friends and pupils, died on Sunday at the
'advanced age of 80. Gabriel Jacques Surenne was born in
1778, at Compiegne, and was educated in the Ecclesiastical
College a St. Cornell there, where he remained until the
outbreak of the revolution of 1793. He then entered the
army of Napoleon, and served through the Italian cam-
Pains. In 1816 he became a teacher of the French lan-
guage iu Edinburgh, which profession he successfully
practised among us almost to the last. Hie contributions
to professional literature were numerous and highly
esteemed. He was a corresponding member of the French
Urarainatical Society, and a member of the French and of
the geottish Antiquarian Society, to both of which he con-
tributed many papers ofinterest. M. Surstme, among other
qualities, was possessed of a peculiarly kind and gentle dis-
position ; and this annp6ncernent will awaken among his
old pupils in all parts of the world sincere regret and many
old.aad dear but now. ;Wood TovoilgatiO4s,--AYMeman.

MONEY MARKET AN]) CITY NEWS,

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The continuous accumulation of bullion at the
Bank of England, and the quietude of the money-
market, encourage the speculators at the Stock
Exchange to engage in operations for a rise, and
also tend to impart confidence among the commer-
cial community. Judging from the present re-
quirements of trade, and the state of the specie
movement, it is not imagined that there will be any
immediate alteration in the terms for accommo-
dation. While, however, it is not supposed that
the Bank authorities will, under any circum-
stances, make a further reduction, owing to
the impulse that might be given to speculative
adventure, and the very moderate benefit that
would accrue to themselves by such a change, it
is quite certain, on the other hand,- that with their
rapidly-augmenting resources, they will not be
compelled to resort to measures of a restrictive
character, at least for a period of several weeks.
Yesterday a further addition of £160,000 was made
to the stock of bullion in the Bank of England, and
as the £414,000 brought by the Avon has now
been delivered, a further considerable increase may
be expected both in the returns that will appear
next Friday, and also in the succeeding balance-
sheet.

The 3 per Cent. Rentes on the Paris Bourse,
yesterday, closed at 73f. for money, and 73f. 20c.
for the account, being an improvement of nearly
per cent.

No change of importance took place yesterday
in the rates of continental exchange.
The price of gold is now 1-10th per cent. dearer
in London than in Paris, and in Hamburg it is about
3-10ths per cent. cheaper than it is here.
Letters from Liverpool report that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed firmly, and prices tended
upwards, and the sales were estimated at 12,000
bales. In Railway Shares a rather extensive busi-
ness was transacted at very full values.
A meeting took place yesterday of the creditors
of Messrs. J. Carmichael and Co., who lately sus-
pended at Liverpool, and it was resolved to wind
up under inspection. The liabilities were stated
at £324,000 and the assets at about £220,000.
The Alhambra, from Gibraltar, has brought
£1,272 in specie. Further consignments are daily
expected from Australia, and the exchange at
New York has advanced ; moderate imports from
that quarter are not considered improbable.
There is very little alteration in the general posi-
tion of the Stock Exchange markets, and the
transactions are still confined within narrow
limits. Notwithstanding this inactivity, however,
the quotations are maintained, and renewed buoy-
ancy is apparent whenever purchases are effected.
The speculators who seldom operate extensively for a
rise, when the public are investing freely, con-
tinue to observe the utmost caution in their
transactions. Consols are about 971 1 for
money, and 971 1 for account. The expecta-
tion of a further important increase of bullion, and
the rise on the Paris Bourse are in favour of the
market. The New 3 per Cents. are quoted, ex-
interest, for the opening, 961. The March Exche-
quer Bills, 335. to 365. prem. ; and June ditto, 245.
to 275. prem. The Bonds have been dealt in at
1001. India Stock is firm, at 2171; ditto Deben-
tures 981 to ditto Scrip, 2d issue, 981 ; and ditto
Bonds, 1 ls. to 15s.

Activity is apparent in the Foreign Stock Mar-
ket, and prices are buoyant. Turkish 6 per Cents.
are 96 1; ditto 4 per Cents., 1041 ; Brazilian 41 per
Cents. (1858), 961 1 ; Buenos Ayres 6 per Cents.,
78 ; Grenada New Deferred, 51; Mexican 3 per
Cents., 211 8 ; Peruvian 41 per Cents., 92 ; ditto
3 per Cents., 71 1; Russian 5 per Cents., 1108 ;
Sardinian 5 per Cents., 921 8 ; Spanish 3 per Cents.,
461 ; ditto Certificates, 61 d ; Peruvian Dollar
Bonds, 77; and Dutch 21 per Cents., 661. Turkish
Scrip is I 1 premium.

The Railway Share Market has been modem-
tively active, and a further slight advance may be
reported in most of the principal undertakings.
Eastern Counties, Great Western, and Brighton
have improved ss. ; South-Western, and Manches-
ter, Sheffield, and Lincoln, 108. ; North-Western,
and North-Eastern (York), 155.; and North-Eastern
(Berwick), £l. The Foreign and Colonial under-
takings are at, improved quotations. Paris and
Lyons have advanced ss. to 10s. ; Northern of
France, £1; East Indian, 15s. ; Grand Trunk of
Canada, 15s. ; and Great Western of Canada, ss.

Mining Shares are at almost nominal values.

For Joint-stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
there has been a very limited inquiry. Bank of
Egypt and New South Wales brought former
prices. Atlantic Telegraph Shares realise 505 to
510 ; Australian Agricultural, 341 to 341 ; Anglo-
Mexican about 144-; and Crystal Palace, If.
