CONEY --MARKET

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'CLocx.
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 87i for the account,
but the transactions have been limited. The de-
cline is s per cent.
The transactions in the Foreign Market have not
been very extensive. Turkish 5 per Cents. have
declined to 281 294 ; Italian 5 per Cents. (1861) to
sii 52 ; ditto (1865) to 63 64 ; while Mexican stock
has improved to 15f 16, and Spanish Passive to
191 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 302 312 ; Great Western, at 514524 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire at 1222 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 232 23/ ; Consolidated, 5k 4 ;
Imperial Ottoman, 8/ a ; London and Westminster,
93i ; Credit Foncier and Mobilier of England,
1+ 1 dis. ; General Credit 1 11 dis. ; and National
Discount Company, at 72 82 prem.

BARBAROUS DEVICE OF THE SPANIARDS. NARROW ESCAPE OP TIIE STEAMER " WATEREE " FROM
lIEING BLOWN UP.—The United States steamer Wateree
EE
escaped total destruction in the harbour of Callao.
They Picked upa launch loaded with coal shoray after the
They and after having it in tow two days, Cap-
tain Paulding ordered the coal to be taken on board, direct-
it.,g that if any in should be made after the lost
la:lnch, the owner, when found, should be paid. There
Warn about sixteen tons of English compressed coal, a kind
of fuel made from coal dust and tar into square blocks
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 sh ell, 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
itiereurY• But for the timely discovery made by one of the
firemen the boilers of the Wateree would have been torn
out, and her mtqsazine undoubtedly exploded, destroying
every one on board. Upon investigation it was found
that the coal had been fixed up when the Spaniards were
heat in the winter of 1804 and 1865, and that it had been
set adrift, to be picked up by some of which by this time must be short of fuelthe frigates, all of
