4I azil and Egyptians were Id. per lb. dearer. The

4
'ken for export, and. 1,500 on si. eculation. The
11411 way Share Market was steady, but no particu-
talteration in prices occurred.
..The general business of the port of London last
eek
was rather quiet. —At the Custom House 198
le'sels were reported from foreign parts, 3 from
reland, and there were 266 colliers. The entries
G:twat di were 126 and the clearances 114 vessels.

I,7l)Per Company on Saturday, a favourable report
adopted, but at the recommendation of the
uoard, the consideration of a dividend was post-

Since Thursday last, when the directors of the
Bask lowered the rate of discount, the inquiry for

°l' eY, in all departments has been very much
t 5
iilltracterl, traders and others apparently leaving
ititlaited their demands as much as possible, probably
tbe hope of the minimum being still further re-
:WI before long. In a few days, however, the
1i
-cations for discounts will no doubt increase
04':ing to the preparations that must then be made
f the approaching " fourth" of the month, but if'
as
°Pinion of the future may be formed from pre-
kelit indications a recurrence of pressure is not likely
Ti take place, the supply of capital being large.
I,,►'re is still an absence of speculation, and business
itite branches being quiet, there is sure to be ex
,41"ded employment for money whenever a revival
fa4leß, and this contingency, together with the
that many persons having deposits at call with
014 t stock and other establishments, may withdraw
til 'eto if the minimum further declines, must never-
-loeless tend to prevent a return to a low rate for a
4.
time to come. Besides, we may expect the
rroduction of numerous joint-stock schemes, and
ai
'hough encouragement may not be given to all, a
irlt will no doubt succeed, and thus divert capital
°4l the market, where its accumulation,
w itli a view to cheapan money, is required.
The
l promoters of the Grand Russian Railway
flo eke may also make another attempt to
at the shares, and the exigencies of the Turkish
t e'sary may render it necessary for the Porte to
tl 1(1 new measures for the establishment of the
proposed National bank. Again, the directors of
th 4437 joint stock companies at home, al-
ti,°llgh in want of means to carry out

wtr&ined from making calls, while the market
kal go stringent, will come forward at the first

opportunity. Thus, it is clear that
re are many obstacles in the way of a rapid
te'
40ration of ease.

INQUEST ON SIR JAMES EYRE.-012 Saturday Mr.W.
J. Payne held an inquest at the Bowyer Hotel, Clapham,
on the body of Sir J. Eyre, Knight, physician, aged 67.
It appeared that the deceased and his lady were staying
at the residence of Mr. Scholey, Lauriston House, Lark-
hallrise, Clapham, on a visit. Oa Thursday he had at-
tended the Queen's levee, and sat up playing at whist
till a quarter to 1 o'clock on Friday morning, when he
remarked, " I think it is time to leave off playing cards,"
and went up to bed, his lady having preceded him. He
'was in no way excited, but was in his usual health.
-About 5 o'clock the same morning Lady Eyre's bell
rang, and on the servant going up deceased was found
in the bed by her side dead. Mr. H. C. Parrott, surgeon,
of Clapham, who was one of the whist party, expressed
his conviction that death bad resulted from some vessel
of the brain having given way. Verdict, natural death.
The audit of the accounts of the Agra and United
Service Bank, taken on behalf of the new directors
who have recently joined the bank on the establishment
of its headquarters in London, has been completed under
the supervision of a professional accountant, and is
stated to have been of the moat complete description.
