XONEY MARKET

COMMERCIAL INTELLItiEN.III,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Money Market is showing renewed symptoms
of activity, owing
to the preparations which are
being made by the commercial classes for the en-
gagements falling due on the 10th inst., and also in
consequence of the settlement to-morrow in the
English Funds. The rates of the brokers for short-
dated bills have not varied, 9 per cent. being again
the lowest quotation, and on the Stock Exchange
daily loans on English Government Securities are
charged 8 and 9 per cent.
It has been notified by the official liquidators of
the Madrid Bank, Messrs. Hart, Brothers, and Co.,
that a dividend of 12s. Gd. in the pound is now pay-
able at their offices.
In the corn market this morning rather more
business was transacted, and prices of both home-
grown and foreign wheat fully maintain Monday's
current quotations. In spring corn, beans, peas,
and flour, no material change can be reported in
values.
At the Bank of England yesterday the bullion
operations consisted of an inflow of 18,000 sovereigns
and £3,000 in bar gold ; and a withdrawal of
103,000 sovereigns for shipment to Brazil and
48,000 for Buenos Ayres, making £151,000.
The Herman has arrived from New York, with
£6,660 in specie.
The Master of the Rolls has appointed Mr.
George Scott, of Bond-court, Walbrook, official
liquidator for winding up the affairs of the Rhcs-
Rail Iron Company (Limited.)

CARRIER PIGEONS AT GOODWOOD.—The Duke of
Richmond objects to having Goodwood-park disfigured by
posts and wires, and consequently the Electric Telegraph
Company employ pigeons to convey messages from Good-
wood to the Telegraph-office at Chichester during the races.
At the recent meeting 30 pigeons wore employed, and the
distance, six miles, was down in about three minutes and
a quartet..

THE GREAT WESTMINSTER CLOCK.—The Journal
of the British Ilorological Institute says that the President,
in his annual review of their proceedings, stated that " they
had it on the authority of Mr. Ellis, of the Royal Observa-
tory, that there is no clock at Greenwich that keeps time so
well as Mr. Denison's clock in the tower of the Houses of
Parliament." It reports its own rate automatically twice a
day to Greenwich by electric telegraph, a test to which no
other public clock has ever been subjected. Persons taking
the time from it should remember that exact Greenwich
time is indicated by the first stroke of the great hour bells
and also by the first stroke of any of the quarter chimes,
except those at the hour.
FENIAN SCHOOLMASTERS.—From a Parliamentary
return just issued it appears that in the month of February
last two schoolmasters were arrested in Ireland on the
charge of Fenianism, and since September, 1865, thirty-two
schoolmasters have been arrested for the same crime.
