MONEY MARKET AND CITY IVEIVS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

Although there is some expectation of a further
speedy reduction in the value of money, the rates
at present exhibit steadiness. 44 per cent. being
the general charge in discount channels, although
choice descriptions of short dated paper may be
occasionally negociated at 4i per cent. The next
weekly balance-sheet of the Bank of England is
expected to show a further improvement, and the
meeting of the directors to-morrow will no doubt be
awaited with some interest, although an immediate
reduction is scarcely anticipated.
About £14,000 in gold was sent into the Bank
of England yesterday.

In the Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon,
the quotations, in most instances, were again a
shade higher.

Gold is now 6-10ths per cent. dearer in London
than in Paris, and 8-10ths per cent. higher than in
Hamburg.

The traffic receipts of the Great• Western Rail-
way of Canada, for the week ending the 9th inst.,
exhibited an increase of £752, compared with last
year.

Business in the Liverpool Cotton Market yester-
day continued rather active, and prices tended
Upwards. The sales were 15,000 bales.

At the half-yearly meeting of the Southampton
Dock Company to-day , the report stated that after
payment of all expenses, the dividends on the pre-
ference stocks, &c., there remained an available
balance of £7,188, from which a dividend at the
rate of 3 per cent. per annum was declared, leaving
a surphs of £1,783 to be carried forward. The
accounts exhibit an increase in the amount of
earnings as compared with the preceding half-year,
and a diminution in the working expenses. _

A further improvement has taken place in the
English Stock Market to-day under the combined
influence of easier money, and the favourable pro-
gress of the harvest, which have encouraged the
speculators to operate for an advance. A large
aggregate amount of stock having been purchased
on this account, in addition to several bona fide
investments, prices have strongly tended. upwards,
and several transactions have taken place in

a large amount of business has been transacted in
the New India Scrip at a further advance, viz.,
1028 4.

ancy, and the dealings have been more numerous.

North Eastern (Berwick), North Eastern (York),
and South Easterns have advanced ss. ; and North
Westerns and South Westerns 10s. Eastern Coun-
ties have declined about ,E 1 to £1 55., being a re-
action after their late advance.

EMIGRATION.---The only colonies which at pre-
sent promote immigration from the United Kingdom by
means of their public funds are Victoria, Queensland, the
Cape of Good Hope, and Natal. The system on which as-
sistance is afforded, varies in each colony. Immigration
into the colony of Victoria at the expense of the colonial
funds is governed by regulations issued by the local Govern-
ment, dated Melbourne, Aprills, 1861. Under these regu-
lations, the Emigration Commissioners are authorised to
select and provide with free passages, in vessels to be clus-
tered by them, unmarried female domestic servants of good
character. Persons, however, resident in the colony may,
by making the following payments to the colonial Govern-
ment, obtain " passage warrants" for the introduction of
their relatives and friends. By these warrants the colonial
Government engages to pay to any shipowner who will
bring out the perscns named therein at the rate of £l4 for
each person of 12 years or upwards, and £7 for each child
between one and 12 years of age, if the service be properly
performed. Unprotected single females must proceed in
the Emigration Commissioners' vessels, but all other no-
minees are left to make their own arrangements for pas-
sages with any owners of private ships who will accept
the passage warrants in payment. The scale of payments
to be paid in the colony for obtaining " passage war-
rants" is, for each male under 12 years, £3; between 12
and 40, £5; 40 years and upwards, £6 ; for each female
under 12 years, £2 ; between 12 and 40, £2; 40 years and
upwards,
