CITY, Two o'CLocK.
The transactions in the Foreign and Colonial
Produce Markets during the last few days have
been very limited, and most of the principal staples
have shown a downward tendency. Sugars have
declined 6d. to is. per cwt. The demand for tea
has been steady, but coffee and cocoa have show n
less firmness. The inquiries for new fruit have
been exceedingly brisk, and a large amount of
business has been done at full rates. Saltpetre has
been in limited request, at late values, but tallow
has shown less firmness, owing to large specula-
tive operations for forward delivery.
Accounts from Liverpool report that the Cot-
ton Market yesterday closed steadily, and 10,000
bales were disposed of at former values.
A rather large amount of gold—viz., about
£l36,ooo—was sent into the Bank of England yes-
terday,
The demand for money in Lombard-street and
at the Bank of England has continued active in
consequence of the payments of the 4th, which are
rather extensive. The ample resources of the
market, however, prevent any alteration of im-
portance in the rates, which will probably exhibit
increased easiness as soon as the effect of these
engagements is exhausted.
The Committeee of Mexican Bondholders have
received advices from Mr. G. F. Whitehead, dated
Mexico, the 31st August last. He had received
bills on Mexico for 5,907 dols. 11c. from Vera Cruz
far the month of August. There was then no
British man-of-war in that port and considerable
apprehension was felt of consequent possible incon-
venience in the present disorganised state of the
country. About 3,400 dols. (part in small money)
had been recovered by the agents in Colima, which
will be sent by the first concluder to Manzanillo,
for shipment to London via Panama. The packet
also brings a small remittance of 2,213 dols.
74c. for the dividend fund, from the agents
in Tampico, who had moreover received about
10,000 dols. in bills and small money. They were
very much in the dark in the capital as to the
occurrences in the rest of the Republic ; but San
Luis Potosi was said to have been evacuated by the
Constitutional troops. Lately nothing more had
been said about the President leaving the capital
for the army. It is reported that Mr. Delahunty,
a Mexican official, at present in London, is the
bearer of proposals from him for a loan on the
security of the Church property, and that he is
authorised to promise the bondholders additions to
the present assignment, in order to secure their
acquiescence.

The English Funds are supported at steady
quotations, the business transacted being too
limited to create much variation. Owing to the
favourable position of monetary and political
affairs, however, the tendency is upwards,
although very little movement is apparent.
Consols were 952 for money and ac-
count. The Government broker continues
to invest £5,000 stock per diem for the savings
banks, but in other respects the operations for
transfer exhibit no feature of interest. Speculation
is still exceedingly quiet, and the attention of the
members will soon be chiefly directed to the liquida-
tion of the account. India New Stock has ad-
vanced to 1011; ditto Scrip remains at 101 k ; ditto

SHOCKING SOlClDE.—Yesterday morning Mr.
Wakley received information of the death of Mr. John
Hicks, who resided at 6, South-crescent, Bedford-square,
and who committed self-destruction. The unfortunate gen-
tleman was a member of the legal profession, and for some
time had been suffering under nervous debility. On Satur-
day a report of firearms was heard. On the inmates repair-
ing to his bedroom they found him lying on the ground
weltering in a pool of blood, with his head nearly blown
off, and the finger of the right hand burnt. A large horse-
pistol, which had been recently discharged, was lying
within reach. A surgeon was sent for, but life was extinct.
FIINERAL 017 A FIREMAN.—The funeral of John
Zibeck, the fireman belonging to the London Fire Brigade
Station, Wells-street, Oxford-street, who was killed at the
fire in John-street, Tottenham-court-road, took place yes-
terday, After the relations of the deceased followed Mr.
Superintendent Braidwood, two of the brigade foremen,
M. r. George Fogo and Mr. G.
It. Staples, three engineers,
ree sub-engineers, 12 of the firemen, the inspectors of
a Society for the Protection of Life from Fire, and the
men belonging to the society, each being dressed in the fire-
men'. Uniform. The Victoria Cemetery was chosen for the
interment.

STRAIGRTENING A CROOKED CHIMNEY.—The
operations for restoring the colossal chimney at Port Dun-
dee to a perpendicular and safe position are now success-
fully completed. Thig was accomplished by sawing seve-
ral of the mortar beds between the courses on the side
from which the chimney leaned, thereby allowing
it to come back by its own weight, without the applica-
tion of any external force. Only one draft was cut at
a t►me, to guard against any shock which might have
endangered the stablity of the building, and by
keeping the saws wet a bed of mortar was prepared for the
superincumbent weight to settle down upon. Twelve cuts
were made in this manner on different parts of the structure,
which generally set before the saws had passed through halt
of the circumference, particularly in those made nearest the
ground, where the weight was greatest. We have to con-
gratulate the proprietor and Mr. D. Macfarlane, architect,
by whose advice this method was adopted, on the success
of their undertaking. The principal dimensions of the
chimney are—Total heie4ht, 468 feet ; from surface to top
of cope, 454 feet ; outsicE diameter at foundation, 50 feet ;
at surface, 34 feet; at cope. 14 feet. According to calcula
tions made by Professor Rankine, the building, indepen-
dent of the adhesion of mortar, is capable of sustaining
with safety a lateral pressure of 661 b. per superficial foot at
its weakest point, being 111 b. more than the force of the
greatest storm registered in this country.—.*oath British
Daily Mail.
