CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The inquiry for money at the Bank of England
continues very quiet, and in the general market,
Where the supplies are exceedingly abundant,
rather easier rates are reported. No difficulty is
experienced in getting choice bills discounted at
2-; per cent., and although the difference, compared
with the minimum quotations is only -} per
ecat., it is sufficient to divert business
'ram the national establishment. The au•
thorities, however, are still granting loans
uhon stock, while the transfer books remain closed,
anti by this means they may be enabled to keep up
their stock of " other securities" at a moderate
figure. On the Stock Exchange there has been an
increased demand, owing to the liquidation of the
account in Foreign Stocks and Railway Shares.
A further sum of £52,000 was added to th 6 stock
0. f bullion in the Bank of England yesterday, and it
.1s probable that this movement will continue some
time longer owing to the steady influx from Aus-
tralia. The demand for silver has revived, and
the shipments to the east may temporarily increase,
but the export of gold to the Continent is likely to
continue moderate. The price of bar silver is
rather firmer, viz., ss. 2d. per oz. standard.
Very little alteration was apparent in the foreign
exchanges yesterday afternoon.
Accounts from Liverpool report that in the cotton
Market yesterday a very moderate business was
transacted, and no important alteration was apparent
In prices. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales.
The railway share market closed quietly, fund quota-
tions continued very firm.
The report issued by the directors of the Great
Western Railway of Canada states that the net
Profit realised during the last half-year only
aniounted to £8,167 15s. id., which the directors
recommend should be carried forward to the credit
of the next six months' account. This result has
Probably caused much disappointment among the
shareholders, but it is attributable to exceptional
circumstances, and better success may be anticipated
In future.

The business transacted at the Stock Exchange
!dill denotes inactive speculation, and a limited
41naud for investments. Notwithstanding this
c°lltinued quietude, however, the quotations appear
ulluyant. A few sales occasionally produce a de-
• cline ofd or L per cent., but it is merely tempo-
, ry, and renewed firmness speedily ensues. Con-
-631e have been dealt in to-day at 951 4 for money
and account. The Government Broker continues
his purchases on account of the Savings Banks,
nut the aggregate amount of bona fide business is
c/eeedingly limited. India Stock has improved to
!1.8 ; ditto New, to 1001 Z- ; ditto Scrip, to 10K-
-401; and the Debentures are steady at 951. Ex-
chequer Bills are heavy, at 235. prem.
Foreign Securities the transactions continue
cn a limited scale, but prices generally hays ad-
'valieed. Turkish 6 per Cents. have improved to 84
1,t,11(1 86 ; ditto New Loan, to 691 to 701 ; Chilian
I°per Cents., to 1051 ; Grenada Active, to 18 ; Peru-
°lan 3 per Cents., to 721 ; and Dutch 21 per
Cents. to 66 ; but the 4 per Cents. are flat, at 102,
and Mexican at 23 1.

The dealings in the English Railway Share
il‘itarket have been limited; a further improvement,
I.,ovever, has been apparent in values. Caledonian,
Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, Manchester, Shef-
ayeeld, and Lincoln, Midland, an
te d South-Eastern
'J advanced ss. ; Great Wesrn, Lancashire
41id Yorkshire, South-Western, and Bristol and
, 'iXeter 10s.

In the Foreign and Colonial Market the trans-
aeti°llB have not been extensive. Lombardo-
Venetian shares realize 121, and Great Luxembourg,
4 7i. Grand Trunk of Canada have improved
t
331, and Great Western of Canada to 131.
"wit Indian and Great Indian Peninsular are at
Previ
_ ous values.

• Ll9int-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have
shown no alteration of importance, with the ex-
le:Ption of Van Diemen's Land, which exhibit a
farther improvement of about 1 per cent., viz., 15
to
151.

as the.railway tram.was caving Spa a few
;111'ngs ago, a young female, handsomely dressed, but in
tt• 'e disordered state, and evidently in a state of great ez-
traimient, entered the station and wished to leave by that
51,41 ; but in the state, in which she she was refused.
e., had been seen, it was said, on the preyious day at the
h,oute, where she lost several thousand francs, and had
oably been rambling about for the whole night in the
delghbourhood. The profits of the bank at Spa had on the
53' in question amounted, it was reported, to 1,113,571 f.
The following incident is related by the Diessa-
`Z de Bayonne, as having recently taken place at Biarritz :
," The Emperor and Empress were crossing thuEspla-
-'4Qe when he saw not far from him a young sub-lieute-
nant, nOt more than 20 years of age, who had lost his left
lip and was decorated with the cross of the Legion of
onour, and who on seeing their Majesties saluted pro-
Their Majesties returned his salute, and the
kiJ•
aperor going up to the officer held out his hand to him,
`4quired where h had been wounded, and on being told
that . e
it was at Solferino, promised :to watch over his future
ty„-aree and left the young man under the most pleasing
—citl';ll. The officer is of a highly respectable family at
Ditz.
Ni;roE BURNOPFIELD MURDER.—A pitman named
It 11h narrison has been brought before Mr. George H.
.6;;ToY, one of the justices of the peace for the county of
11,,:wih, residing at Derwent Villa, near Winlaton, and
11; made a most extraordinary statement respecting the
1:),;',",,hr of Mr. Stirling, the young doctor, at Burnopfield,
t4141e let of November, 1855. Harrison had been freely
ftzug those with whom he came in contact that he distinctly
the and conversed with one of the men who committed
fre-o,4o.trible crime, the circumstances of which are still
'l4,;;;_lh the recollection of the public, and for which, it will
%,/ko'Lue remembered, two men, named Cain, alias "Whisky
and Rayne, were tried and acquitted at-the summer
11.1%-p., held at Durham in 1856. if there be not some
.Nll5 Harrison's statement it is difficult to define what
pi.,474's induced him to state what he did before the
-1114:11te on friday last. He says that on the day of
reh-n`jhrder, whilst he was in the lane, he heard the
he'd' of a gun, and shortly after, on looking through the
he saw a man standing in the wood, who, on seeing
• th-", asked him (Harrison) what he was doing there, and
This clenched his teeth at him, and said he would kill him,
h• than Harrison knew, although he says he only saw
,1,18, head and shoulders. He also says that he heard the
',doles of another man, at the top of the wood, call out,
man here." The authorities have the description of the
tin whom Harrison says he saw, and hopes are entertained
that in a few- days he will be captured. It should,. how-
,r, be stated that Harrison's master, whose name is Mr.
the
Simpson, of Ryton, on looking over the pay bill for
he time, found that though Harrison was not at work on
une 2d of November, 1855, he was there on the lst and 3d
aq that month, and as Ryton is several miles from the
Leone of the murder, his statement is somewhat contradic-
,gy with the circumstance of his being at work on that day.
4,e matter has caused a good deal of excitement at Win-
ta,"AL and other places, and the renewal of the statement of
4"e circumstances connected with this fearful tragedy tends
1;,), involve it in some degree of mystery.. It may be that
narrison's statement may prove as unfounded as those of
'.u..Pler persons, who, since the trial, have come forward as
%'ainiants to having participated in one of the foulest,mur-
oars that stains the history of our country.
TUE BUILDERS'STRIKE.—The builders' strike is
tadually wearing itself out. The number of recipients at
e weekly meeting of the Trades' Conference on Monday
, or 21 less than in the previous week, while the
Centralat Association of Masters report that 2,270 men are
114,_ Work under the "declaration." These two facts are pro-
-7bl3' explained by another, namely, that a considerable
,v?itnber of workmen have come up to London from the pro-
dll?cos• There can also be no doubt that necessity has also
The some non-society men to accept the decimation.
~no men will ultimately be the principal sufferers, as is
w_ithraonly the case in strikes. They asked, as it seems to
'et for too much. The masters appear to us to be asking
too complete a surrender of their rights from the men.
What is forced on the men as a declaration might be ac-
cepted by them as a shop rule. No such battles between
be ployere and employed can otherwise than injurious to
07,T, There is but one way in which the relative claims of
bCP _MI and labour can be righteously adjusted, and that is
equitable monetary system, under which the producer
42u,tc be
e _ enabled to raise his price permanently to a remu-
nerative level, and the working man would obtain a fair
r °Portion of the price charged for the work of his hands.
