1.1()NE Y MARKET AA' D C ;VS.
CITY, Two o'Casscs.
The markets for foreign and esisnial prodame flu!'
in:: the last ft!tv ,hys havo 11 jt. issen rptit-e so ictive.
Tea has been at flan rates, lad since the dlit ssx
the letters by the Overland Mail prices have 1:we1.
fully maintained. For sugar suitable for home use
there has been less inquiry, the trade having sup-
plied themselves with sufficient for immediate re-
quirements. For exportation there has been a
moderate inquiry, and low-priced qualities
have been sought after at fully late va-
lues. Coffee has not been very active, as
large quantities are announced for public compe-
tition during the present week. Rice has•been
and Fruit has been in moderate favour; currants
have been enquired for for exportation, acid the first
parcel of new Valeutia Raisens is daily expected.
Saltpetre has been dull, only the fiber qualities
supporting previous values, holders demanding
slightly improved rates. For tallow there has been
a limited enquiry ; the trade have bought very
sparingly, and but little speculative business has
been transacted.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, a
moderate business was transacted, and 6,000 bales
were disposed of at full rates. The Railway Share,
Market closed quietly, and prices tended downward,
The arrivals of specie announced last evening
were £169,370 from the West Indies by the La
Plata; £145,128 from the United States by the
America ; and £65,000 in gold from Russia.
About £121,000 in Australian and Russian gold
was taken into the Bank yesterday afternoon.
The demand for money has relaxed and the mar-
ket again exhibits extreme easiness. Choice bills are
negotiated at 2-I per cent., and the result is that few
applications for discount are received at the Bank. Si
The effect produced by the preparations made for the 31
Indian Debentures have, therefore been merely
temporary.
The Eastern exchanges continue very favourable
to this country, and as the mail yesterday reported a
further decline in the quotations at Bombay,
no expectation exists of any immediate re-
sumption of extensive shipments of silver. rt
The American exchange has also risen to ..It,
1091 110. A moderate amount of specie may is
therefore be anticipated from that quarter, as a small
profit is derivable from such remittances. As, in st,
addition, considerable supplies are coming forward 1,
from Australia, there can be no doubt that an it:flux at;
of the precious metals will still conti;me is excess of
the exports from this country, and the present Keck
of bullion at the Bank of Isi'ng7and is likely to he ss
maintained with steadiness.
The tenders for the remaining partion of the East

India loan have bi en opened to:da-y. The minimum
fixed by the directors was 97. The highest b;ddina
was 99, and the lowest we helitve was 7:1,. ThZ sw
amount subscribed was within .C 400,000 of the

required capital.
A meeting of the shareholders of the Alliance Bank
took place to-day. It appeard from the report that `ai,
the business of the bank had fallen off one-half since
the commencement of 1857, and that the committee
of the Stock Exchange still refused to quote the
shares of the company. It was stated, in reply by 11
1
Mr. Stokes, the manager, that the accumulated profits 51,
were about £25,000, or about £2 10s. per share, but 3t(l
it was thought better to let the question of dividend st(
stand over to the 15th September, when the share-
holders would be again called together to decide as to st;
the continuance of the company. It appears to be I
the intention of the board to pay out the dissentients
at par, supposing others to remain willing to con-
tinue the undertaking. The resolution for the ad-
-11
journment was carried, and a vote of thanks was
passed to the Chairman, Mr. HigginQ, for presiding.
There has been rather more firmnessin the English 4t!
Stock Market to-day, but there is still an absence
of animation, which occasions a heavy tone. Atten-
tion 3ation for the moment is principally occupied with the ci
Indian Loan, the tenders for which have been
opened to-day. Nothing seems to excite activity.
The buoyancy of the Paris Bourse, the
influx of gold, and the resumed easiness of money 3
have been inoperative. Consols have been 961 for it
money, and 968, buyers, for account. Bank Stock is
firm at 227 to 228. The New 3 per Cents., and the ,
Reduced Annuities remain steady at 96-i- to 97. Long
Annuities 18; ditto, 30 years, 18i The Marcia
ate
Exchequer Bills are 235., and the June ditto, 20s. to
235. prem., and the Bonds are marked 1008.
Venezuelan Bonds have been at rather lower rates. st;
It appears from the advices just received that the it
tranquillity of the republic is again likely to be dis ets
-
turbed by a reactionary feeling in favour of Mona-
gag, which has no doubt been stimulated by at(
certain measures of the consular authorities in
behalf cf the English and French Governments.
It is sta' e 1 that the surrender of the ex-President
and his Ministers, Gni zeppi and Guiterrez, has been
demanded, and also that the Governor of Caraccas
should be deposed. As a reprisal would be con-
strued into a casus betli, it may naturally be ex- Iv
pected that considerabie excitement prevailed. Under
these circumstances later advices are anxiously sat
t,
awaited by the bondholders and those who are other-
wi'e interested in the progress of the country.
In the Foreign Stock Market business is quite, an
are
d
prices remain steady. Turkish 6 per Cents.
26A- ; Venezuela 5 per Cents., 391 ; Brazilian 5 per
Cents., 103 ; ditto Scrip, par to prem. ; Mexican
3 per Cents. 201, 21 ; and Dutch 4 per Cents, 1018.
A very limited business has been reported in the
Railway Share Market this morning, and in most
instances a further reduction of ab..;ut to per
cent_ has taken place in values. Edinburgh and
Glasgow, 'Great Western and South-Eastern have
receded 55.; Eastern Counties and Nor:h British,
10s. ; Brighton, 1,55. ; and Great Northern, £1 ;
Lancashire and Yorkshire improved 10s.; and 'Mid-
land, ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines were very
dull. Paris and Lyons improved about 4, and
Namur and Liege and Pernambuco realised previous
quotations. The Colonial undertakings were almost
neglected. East Indian declined 10s. ; Grand Trunk
of Canada, £l.
Joint Stock Bank Shares have been extremely
quiet. Bank of Australasia improved about 55.;
Ottoman Bank, 10s. ; London and County declined
10s. ; and Union of Australia, 10s.
In the Miscellaneous Market the Atlantic Tele-
graph improved to 850 and 860 ; Canada Land were
112 to 113; Peninsular and. Oriental Steam declined
to 80, and Royal Mail Steam improved to 62.

CURIOSITIES OF VEGETATIONI IN KEW-GARDENS.
The lace, or lattice-leaf plant, from Madagascar; the ban-
yan, or sacred fig-tree of the Hindoes ; the sensitive, or
telegraph plant of Bengal ; the bread fruit of the South Sea
Islands; tne rice paper plant, from China, sent by Sir John
Bowring ; the sugar cane, the bamboo, the East India but-
terfly plant, and an ahnost endless variety of other rarities
from all parts of the world. Visitors are reminded that all
the conservatsries close at six, the gardens at seven.
BARONIES IN .ABETANCE.—The House of Lords
recently ordered a return to be made to it of the baronies
to be called out of abeyance up to the present time. The list
includes 23 such barowes that fell into abeyance between
the year 1461 (Edward IV.) and 1833 (William IV.) They
were called out of ab. yance between 1604 (James I.) and
18,55 (Victoria). The Hastings barony, revived in 1841,
had been in abeyance 300 years; tne Beaumnnt, called out
in 1840, 332 years; the Brays, called out in 1839,282 years ;
the Criuoys, erl t.d out in 1839, 413 years ; the Botetourt,
338 a ears ; the barony of Roos, or De Ryos, 119 years;
Zeucha, 191 years ; Despencer, 143 years ; and Mowbray,
101 years. The following is a complete list :—De-
apnea. Mowbray, Windsor, Ferrara of Charaley, Clin-
ton, Clifford, Despercer, Botetourt, Clifferd, Wil-
leuehby de Eresby, Howard de Walden, Roos
(de Ros), Zouche, Berners, Clifford, Vaux, Berners,
Camoys, tiraye, Beaumont, Hastings, and Windsor. The
Ogle fallowing peerages are appended to the return,
althorkit, from the circumstances stated in relation
to them, it is uncertain whether they can be re-
garded as within the terms of the order :-1. Crom-
well, 1461.—Maud, daughter, and after sole heir
pi Relph, second baron, had issue two daughters, Maud
and Juan; the latter married Humphrey Bouchier,
who was summoned in 1461 as Humphrey Bouchier de
Cromwell. He had no issue by his wife Joan, and was not
a cc-heir himself, nor had he acquired that interest in his
wife's inheritance which would have entitled him to ET/joy
the dignity in her right, and it is scarcely possible to con-
sider that this summons terminated the abeyance. Fur-
nival, 1406.— William de Furnival, fourth baron, had is.ere
a daughter Jett% upon whom the barony eesceeded. She
married Thomas Nevill, who w sanneened in 1383 jure
uxoris. He left two daughte,s, Maud en 1 Joan, his
co-heirs. Maud married John Mau r
sutemo
Jean in
in
1409. If Joan were his daughter by his v.:Pe e
iihraival, this terminated the alley ar:ee ; tin it is ti Wit-
ful whether Joan was not his de! g- tenr lat n
his scums
wife, Angaret ; if so, the barony wasnot iah esenee.
Maud is said to have been hir to her teethe!. *lowa
haleton tie Powys, or Pe wys, 1422.—Jetin de Cherie en,
Lord of Powis, was summoned to Parlirment 1313
fafter, . Le
died 1353, and was succeeded by his son John.
„manorial as
and also the son, down to 1360, w-r.
" Johanni de Cherteton." In 1362 John, llie s
mooed as " Johanni de Cherleton de Pow3s,"on,
and this su
O-
was m-
dition of " de Powys" net used by the Cherletous until
two
the
death of Edward, s. p. 1422. Edward left
daughters, between whom the barony fell Into abeyance.
The lordship of Powis became the propel ty of Joan,
the eldest, who married Sir John Grey, Knight.
The grandson of Joan is said to have sat in Parlia-
ment in 1455, Rot. Parl. p. 282 a ; but no sum-
mena far K sitting is to be found. John, the
great.-grandson of Joan, was summoned to Parliament in
1482 as " Johanni de Grey de Powis." It is doubtful, how-
ever, whether this can be considered a termination of the
abeyance of the barony of Cherleton, or a new creation in
the family of Grey. Joyce, the youngest daughter of Ed-
ward, married Sir John Tiptaft, who summoned to
parliament 1426, as " Jotannis Tiptaft ChPr." He was
never summoned by any other designa ion. But Dugdale
considers that he was summoned in his wife's barony, pro-
bably because his son, on being created Earl of Worcester,
is called Lord Tiptoft and Powys. These particulars may be
interesting to those immediately concerned, and to the
student of the mysteries of heraldry.
