TWELVE O'CLOCK.
THE BANK CHARTER OF 1844.—The whole of
the wording of this important enactment will be
given in extenso in The Sun of Tuesday evening
next, the 7th instant, it having occurred to us that
a matter of such profound interest to the entire
?Dmmercial world could not but be most welcome,
lust now, in the midst of the severe monetary crisis
Which is still unhappily existing.
Some heavy commercial engagements have come
_due to-day, but ample provision having been made
?Y the mercantile community generally, there
Is not the least doubt that all payments will be
met satisfactorily. The inquiry for money is rather
active, and the brokers require full rates for all the
businesi they negotiate.
It is satisfactory to report an influx of £43,000,
In bar gold at the Bank of England yesterday
afternoon,_ and likewise 104,000 sovereigns received
from India, the latter being the first operation of
the kind for a considerable period.
A dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum
for the
past half-year has been declared by the di-
rectors of Penson and Co. (Limited), leaving a
balance of
£1,684.
The specie movement during the past week has
13
eell of an extreme character, both as regards the
Imports and the exports. The former have amounted
to about £1,044,586, chiefly from New York and
the West Indies and Pacific, while the latter have
been to the extent of £625,593, the greater portion
of which has been despatched to the continent.
A first capital of £40,000 in £lO shares is re-
quired by the Parkesine Company (Limited),
Which is established to acquire and work the patents
of Mr. Alexander Parkes in the production of a
new substance known as Parksine, a material, it is
stated, that can be manufactured at a cost much less
than that of indiarubber or gutta percha, and which
can be applied in a superior degree to all the uses
of those articles.

The provisional liquidator, Mr. Barrow, of the
National Savings Bank Association has been
appointed by the Master of the Rolls official liqui-
dator.

At the Paris Bourse, this morning, according to
Reuter's teigram, the 3 per cent. Rentes were 69f.
20e. Rather firm. Scarcely anything doing.
There has been an improvement to-day of about
per cent. in market for Consols, which closed at
871 88 for money, 871 88, for the 9th August, and
881 3 for September.
The Foreign Market to-day has been decidedly
in the ascendant, but the dealings had not been
extensive. Mexican have advanced 1, to 17 1 ;
Turkish 5 per Cents. 1, to 264- ; Spanish Passive 1,
to 191 1 ; Italian 3, to 511 4. ; and the Brazilian
Script, to 4/ 31 dis. Greek continue at 111 12.
In the Railway Share Market dealings have been
on a very limited scale, and prices have shown less
.firmness. Great 'Western have declined 1, North-
Western 3, and Lancashire and Yorkshire, London,
Chatham and Dover, and Manchester, Sheffield, and
Lincoln 1.
The
Foreign and Colonial lines are also rather
depressed Grand Trunk of Canada have receded
to 201, and Madras 5 per Cents. to 971 to .1.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are in moderate
request. Alliance are dealt in at 19:1 201 ; Char-
tereda of India London and China at 331 34 ; Lon-
Ar,,aticl County at 521 63 ; Credit Foncier and
°uther of England, 31 dis.; and Imperial Land
'°llVany of Marseilles at 7 dis. Atlantic 'I ele-
gt:aPh Company are quoted 31 ; and Anglo-
American Telegraph have declined to 124 13.
