MONEY MA

CITY, Two o'CLocx.
The continuous arrivals :of specie from America
and Australia have prevented an important
efflux from the Bank of England, for the ex-
port demand is so active that in the absence of
sufficient supplies the metallic reserves in
Threadneedle•street would have been trenched

upon to a considerable extent. As it is, how-
evdr, the requirements of the bullion dealers
have not only been provided for, but there has been
a balance available for the Bank, and the return to
be published on Friday next will no doubt exhibit,
like its predecessor, an increase !n the item of " bul-
lion." A continuance of the movement, combined
with the quietude of the money-market, may ulti-
mately induce the authorities to reduce their terms
of discount, especially as the minimum is now
nearly one per cent. under the value of dis-
count accommodation in the open market. The
demand for money continues exceedingly quiet, and
the requirements of the commercial public, which
are very limited, are freely met on extremely easy
terms.

In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon
importance.
About was no alteration of
About £20,000 in gold, principally Rupian, was
sent into the Bank of England yesterday.
To-day a call of £4 10s. per share, or £249,997,
becomes due on the Bombay and Baroda Railway.
The bar silver brought by the last West India
packet has been disposed of at 62d. per oz., being
a decline of id. compared with that realised for the
consignment by the previous steamer.
Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed with a very quiet appear-
ance, and only 5,000 bales sold at about previous
rates. In the Railway Share Market business was
less active, but prices continued very firm.
The half-yearly meeting of the African Steam
Company took place to-day—P. Hadow, Esq., in
the chair. The report of the directors stated that
the new contract with her Majesty's Government
had been performed in a satisfactory manner dur-
ing the last six months. The revenue account
showed a credit balance of £5,904 17s. 3d. avail-
able for dividend, but the directors did not recom-
mend it to be more than 7s. per share, being at the
rate of 7 per cent. per annum. The report was
adopted unanimously.
The meeting of the Atlantic Telegraph Company
is now being held at the London Tavern.
The market for English Securities opened firmly,
and indications of buoyancy soon became visible.
The improvement was equal to per cent., but since
then the Rentes have been reported A per cent. lower,
and the Funds have consequently receded to the
extent of t, per cent. Consols for transfer have
been 941, but they are now 931 24. For July the
highest point attained was 94, and the present quo-
tation is 93! A very limited business has been
transacted on speculative account. The New Threes
have advanced to 9211 y ; the Reduced to 921 931 ;
and Long Annuities to 17 13-16ths. India Loan
Debentures are steady at 941; and Exchequer Bills
at 19s. to 235. Kem.
In Foreign Securities a fair amount of business
is recorded ; prices, however, in most instances
show little improvement. Turkish 6 per Cents. are
67 to 69 ; ditto New, 561 to 571 ; but the 4 per
Cents. are flat, at 102. Mexican has advanced to
174 18 ; Portuguese to 42 43 ; Russian 5 per Cents.
to 104 ; Spanish 3 per Cents. to 411 ; ditto De-
ferred to 281 29 ; and Brazilian vi per Cents.,
1852, to 90 and 91 ; ditto 5 per Cents. are steady
at 100 ; and the 41 per Cents., 1858, at 91.
The transactions in the Railway Share Market
have been limited, and rather less buoyancy has
been apparent. North Western, Manchester,
Sheffield and Lincoln, and North Eastern
(Berwick), have declined 55., and Eastern Counties
103. to 15s. Great Northern, Great Western, and
North Eastern ( York) advanced about 103.
In the Foreign and Colonial Markets there has
been very little activity. Great Luxembourg
and Northern of France have realised former rates.
Lombardo-Venetian Old Shares have advanced to
61 61, and the New Shares to 6 and 61. Great
Indian Peninsula are firm at 98. East Indian have
improved to 1001 1001. Eastern Bengals to 4, and
Punjaubs to 31,4 31-1.
For Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
there has been scarcely any enquiry. Bank of
Australasia, and National Discount Company are a
shade firmer.

REMOVAL OF THE REMAINS OF
GENERAL PICTON.

(THIS DAY.)
The mournful proceeding of removing the coffin con-
taining the remains of that distinguished general, Sir
Thomas Picton, from the cemetry of St. George's, Hanover-
square, in which they were hastily interred after the field
of Waterloo, to the depository of our national heroes at the
Cathedral Church of St, Paul's, took place this morning.
There was little military ceremony used on the occasion.
The coffin containing the remains of the departed soldier
was simply placed on a gun carriage, covered with the
colours of England, and attended by a small party of
Artillery.

The 'first mourning coach contained J. Picton, Esq., Col.
Verriker, Col. Bagot, and General Wood.
The second, the Rector of St. George's, Hanover-square;
Mr. Stanley, and Dr. Bruver.
The third, Hr. Cooper, Mr. Wester ton, and Mr. Tre-
herne.

Then followed one of the Royal carriages, next, the car-
riage of Mr. S. Estcourt, representing tho Government,
then thai belonging to Field Alarshal Lord Strafford, and
several others.

Precisely at one o'clock the coffin was received at the
south door of St. Paul's Cathedral, by the Dean and
Canons, by whom it was immediately conducted to the
crypt—the great boll tolling and the organ pealing
forth " The Dead March in Saul." Without a word being
spoken, and amidst profound silence, the coffin was
lowered into its final resting-place, near the tomb of his
illustrous commander, the late Duke of Wellington.
The coffin was of the plainest description. It to all
appearance was fashioned out of six plain oak boards,
without the slightest attempt at ornamentation, but of im-
mense weight as it was with difficulty supported by 12 men.
Among those present in addition to the mourners were Lord
Gough, Sir J. Burgoyne, Sir It. Gardner, Sir Thomas
Brotherton, Sir J. Jackson, Sir Hugh Ross, &c., &c.
The arrangements for the removal were confided to Mr.
Banting, of St. James's, and were carried out in the most
admirable manner.

THE BURNING OF THE EASTERN MONARCH.—
PORTSMOUTH, Tuesday.—The adjourned inquest, before
Mr. Cooper, the borough coroner, on the bodies of the
sufferers who lost their lives by the burning of the ship
Eastern Monarch, at Spithead, on the 3d instant, was re-
sumed yesterday afternoon, at the Quebec Hotel, but' the
evidence given did not throw any fresh light on the cause
of the catastrophe, which it was suggested might have
arisen from the saltpetre on board. The coroner, In his
address to the jury, regretted that the Council for India
did not provide for the return of troops to England in ships
that were not freighted with combustible materials. The
jury returned a veadict of " Accidental Death." .

MANCHESTER UNITY OF ODD FELLOWS (SOUTH
LONDON DISTRICT.)—The usual annual sheet of this dis-
trict, for the year 1855, has just been issued. It appears,
that, out of 3,895 members, there were sick 772, who re-
ceived sick pay amounting to £2,045. 53 members died,
besides 28 wives and widows of members. A pithy
table contains an account of the sickness and mortality
experienced during the past seven years ; and the
total shown to have been paid for sickness, fir,
nerals, and to widows and orphans, in that time, is
£29,976. The statement is highly creditable to
the district, which is in a flourishing state—having
now 4;023 members (average ago 35 years), and a surplus
capital of £33,524, of which about £263 only belongs to the
Distress Fund. From all other funds members claim
benefits as a right, but this is intended to relieve extra-
ordinary cases ; and, to increase the fund, on the 2d and
3d of August the Odd Fellows of the metropolitan dis-
tricts hold their annual fete at the Crystal Palace. On this
occasion the usual attractions will be enhanced by a
special popular out-door entertainment, under the
direction of Mr. Nelson Lee, the well-known manager.
Madame Pauline Violante, "the celebrated aseensionist
the Atlantic wire," will pass over the great basin during
the time that the fountains are playing ; tba Jamieson
family, the brothers St. Leon, and "the renowned Sam
Collins, the great delineator of Irish character," with
various other entertainers, will appear. A tent for dancing
will be erected, and a double military band will be in at-
tendance. Arrangements have been made with the various
railway companies to run special trains op. both, days ; and
