The English Stock Market continues very dull,
but during the earlier hours of business an improve-
ment of 1 per cent. occurred in the Funds. This
advance was, however, only temporary, Consols
having subsequently receded to their former prices,
viz., to 86* 87 for money, and 871 1 for the ac-
count. The New Threes and 3teduced Annuities
are 86i 87 ; Bank of England Stock, 245 246} ;

portance has taken place in pricei. Turkish 5 per

Liverpool Cotton Market—Tl 13 Tay.

„ t opens with fair demand. Sales probably
)vOO or 8,000 bales.

hp,,X°IMTG DELINQUENTS.—Thomas Miller, aged 10,
Mary Miller, aged 8, were charged at the Petty
"si°l3B, Ilford, on the 19th instant by Mr. C. Matthews
Of East llam, with pulling down a piece of his fence,
ld• The prosecutor said the children belonged to a
ti aelil of most drunken habits, and asasthey appeared en-
rY destitute and neglected he had brought them to
u
tih court in the hope 'that they would be sent to an in-
tillo, till! school. They were committed for one week, and
tssexolitc:Ato be sent to an industrial establishment.—

The commencement of business in the Discount
Market this morning did not indicate any tendency
towards a rise or fall in the terms for the best com-
mercial bills, and affairs are still in a very quiet
condition. There are plentiful supplies at the cur-
rent rates for all mercantile operations based upon
good credit, and these high rates, inducing•caution,
prevent extravagant speculation. Owing to the
general idea that rates will recede rather than ad-
vance the daily demand for acccommodation,
though active, is not at all pressing, and the trad-
ing classes are content to bring to the market a
number of securities which, when negotiated, will
enable them to provide for impending liabilities.
Private capitalists are evidently awaiting the
introduction of new projects—the early part of the
Year being, as a rule, favourable for the exertions of
the promoters of Joint-Stock enterprise. Several
schemes are already on the lapis, and the experience
of the last year will no doubt add to the discrimina-
tion of those who have means to employ on the
limited liability principle.
No gold operations were reported yesterday at
the Bank ; a few withdrawals, however, are ex-
pected. At the same time there are steady arrivals,
and the Bank of England return to-morrow evening
is expected to show a further improvement in the
resources of the establishment.
