AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Money Market to-day is firm, but quiet; the
inquiries being limited, and the supplies ample for
all legitimate commercial purposes.
There was an influx of gold at the Bank yester-
day of 24,000 sovereigns, from Alexandria.

Two o'CLocK.

At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to
Reuter's telegram, the French Rentes were 68f. 25c.
Very excited.
The Stock Exchange Markets have closed heavily
through sales to close successful " Bull" operations.
The tone of business, however, continues good,
but it will not be a settled state of affairs until
full confidence is reposed in Continental politics
and money becomes easier. Moreover, it should
be borne in mind that the proverbially dull
season is at hand. The quietude witnessed to-
day is therefore not surprising. Consols have closed
at 871 for transfer, and at 87 for the account,
but the transactions have been limited. The de-
cline is 8 per cent.
The transactions in the Foreign Market have not
been very extensive. Turkish 5 per Cents. have
declined to 281 29i ; Italian 5 per Cents. (1861) to
511 52 ; ditto (1865) to 63 64 ; while Alexican stock
has improved to 151- 16, and Spanish Passive to
198 20.

In the Railway Share Market a fair amount of
business has been transacted, and prices generally
exhibit little change of importance. Great
Eastern close at 30i 31i ; Great Western, at
52i ; Lancashire and Yorkshire at 1221 123 ; Lon-
don) Chatham, and Dover, 20 22 ; and South-
Eastern, 69 70.
The Foreign and Colonial lines remain at about
previous rates.

Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are quiet. Alli-
ance are marked 23i ; Consolidated, 5i 4 ;
Imperial Ottoman, Bi, s ; London and Westminster,
93i ; Credit Foncier and Mobilier of England,
1 dis. ; General Credit 1i dis. and National

BARBAROUS DEVICE OF THE SPANIARDS. ---
NARROW ESCAPE OF TUE STEAMER " WATEREE " PROM
BEING BLOWN Ur.—The United States steamer Wateree
narrowly escaped total destruction in the harbour of Callao.
They picked up a launch loaded with coal shortly after the
bombardment, and after tarn Pauldin having it in tow two days, Cap-
g ordered the coal to ibe taken on board, direct-
lng that if
th any inquiries should be made after the lost
aunch, e owner, when
were about sixteen tons of En found, should be paid. There
of fuel made from coal dust glish compressed coal, a kind
and tar into square bloc
from eight to twelve inches
in diameter. After the
Wateree had taken this coal on board, and a quantity of it
had been thrown into the furnaces, one of the firemen
happened to break open a block, and found in it a loaded
six-pounder shell. Other blocks were opened with a
similar result, and the fires were immediately extinguished.
In the coal which had been put in the furnace were found
four loaded shell, all of which when taken out were so hot
that they could not be handled except on a shovel, There
Were also found in the coal, in addition to a great number
of shells, several soda water bottles, filled with fulminating
mercury. But for the timely discovery made by one of the
Bremen the boilers of the Wateree would have been torn
Out, and her magazine undoubtedly exploded, destroying
every one on board. Upon investigation it was found
that the coal had been fixed up when the Spaniards Were
here in the winter of 1864 and 1865, and that it had been
set adrift, to be picked up by some of the frigates, all of
Which by this time must be short of fuel.
