ITION_Ey MARKET AND C

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The gold received by the Lincolnshire, from
Australia, viz., £212,000, was purchased yesterday
for exportation to the Continent, and the efflux
from the Bank of England received a temporary
check in consequence. There is every probability,
however, of its being immediately resumed, as
the export demand is so active, and the
American supplies, although rather extensive, are
not sufficient to meet the wants of the bullion
dealers. No further alteration has occurred in the
terms of discount ; they are still kept up to the
level of the minimum, and the applications both in
Lombard-street and at the Bank are increased.
To-day a call of 25 per cent, is due on the Bom-
bay and Baroda 5 per cent. Debentures, and of
£5 per share, or £62,500 on the Scinde Indus
Flotilla.

In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday
rather more business was transacted, 10,000 bales
h4Ying been sold at firm quotations. The Railway
Share market closed quietly, and prices were
rather lower.

At the annual meeting of the Netherlands
Land Enclosure Company to - day, a report
'was presented, stating that the new agreement
Proposed to the Government had been rejected
by the Dutch Legislature. It was proposed to
make another application to the Government in
Consideration of the large sum already spent by the
co
ssfu
Mpany in Holland, which it was hoped would be
succel. The general balance-sheet showed a
surplus in hand of £31,994 19s. 10d. The report
was Passed unanimously.
In consequence of the statement in the Illoniteur
that a reduction is to take place in the French
artily and navy, the Funds opened at a considerable
advance, the highest point attained showing an
improvement of to -} per cent. This rise, how-
ever, has led to a few sales, and less buoyancy is
eensequently apparent. The reaction amounts to
lab Out per cent.; Consols, after 'advancing to 951
.rfer money and account, have receded to 941
• The principal business attended to, how-
ever, is the settlement of the account in
foreign stocks and railway shares. Bank
Stock remains at 222 to 223 ; the 'New Threes
and the Reduced are firm at 951 ; India
Stock has advanced to 220 to 222 ; ditto Deben-
tures, 1858, are steady at 949, but the Scrip has re-
ceded to 941 ; Exchequer Bills are 28s. to 31s.

~.IVIENDELSSOHN, THE GREAT COMPOSER.—When
Mendelsohn visited London, he usually resided in Chat-
(7,nl_ -place, near the City Gas Works. On more than
ZoD,_-4.'" occasion he delighted the lovers of music by a
dad display of his wonderful abilities as a composer
the a musician, by giving a public performance upon
tie organ in. Christ Church, Newgate-street ; the church,
evenight be expected, was crowded in every part,
ii.. to the organ loft. The music selected was
tulizaY a tune called Haydn.'s, or the " Emperor's
14Yran," the national air of Prussia, and was much used
congregational singing in our churches a few years
playing of this was so beautifully enriched
With. variations as to occupy upwards of an hour. This
woo followed by a pedal fugue and those who had the
Privilege and honour of hearing 'this will never forget the
event ; the.performance was a masterpiece, which only a
9ndelssohn, could accomplish. The exertion required for
this_ display of organ music was too much for him, and it
upon
suddenly terminated by his faintly leaning forward
:1.130n the keys of the organ, quite exhausted ; partly recover-
ulgc, he asked for a glass of wine from those near him, but
it was not at hand, and, resting a short time he left the
~.hurch supported by two gentlemen. The last time that
raen.delssohn probably performed on the organ in the City
of London, was at St. Peter's Church, Cornhill, one Sun-
day raorning ; on the conclusion of divine service, he played
--evidently his favourite tune—" Hadyn's," or the " Em-
astonishmentPe H, with variations, to the great delight and
of the crowded assembly.—city Fres,.

tation from the Court of France, to whom the body of the
