MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLooK.
The accounts from the manufacturing districts
are still of a very unsatisfactory character, and the
intervention of the Easter holidays has caused a
further depression in the home trade. Business at
I\lanchester has been exceedingly dull, and but
little change has been produced by the reduction in
the rate of discount. The woollen trade in the
est Riding of Yorkshire has continued exceed-
ingly dull, and at Leicester and Nottingham little
or no improvement can be reported in the hosiery
and lace trades. In flag hardware districts, viz.,
at Birmingham, Sheffield, Walsall, and Wolver-
hampton, the stagnation noticed during the last
4eNv weeks has been by no means diminished. The
Ineetings of the ironmasters will commence at Bir-
nungham on Wednesday next.
A large amount of business was transacted in
the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday, and
prices tended upwards. The sales were fully 20,000
Dales.

The Money Market remains in a very quiescent
1
tate, with a tendency towards increasing ease, con-
sequent upon the extreme supplies, and the mode-
le;te character of the enquiries. The payment of
the April dividends is now producing some effect,
'ad it is generally expected that lower rates will
shortly prevail.
A further sum of about 80,000 was sent into
the Bank of England on Saturday.
.„ The Oneida has arrived from the Brazils with
£24,746 in specie.
An instalment of 30 per cent., amounting to
£900,000,
is due to-morrow on the last Indian
,44. au, but the greater portion has been paid in an-
ticipation.
Tomorrow a call of £2 per share, amounting to
£▪ 60,000, is dile on the South Yorkshire Railway
£2O shares.'

There has been a heavy market for Public
securities to-day owing to the unsettled appear-
!lee of the continental politics, which have led to
continuance of speculative sales. Consols are
therefore depressed, at 91 fr for money and the
)til instant, and at 911 for the 9th May. The
New Threes and the Reduced have receded to 891
40, and Bank Stock to 227 ex div. ; India 5 per
Cents. Loan is 1001 1, ditto New Scrip 1001; and
zehequer Bills are 35. dis.
An average number of dealings have been re-
corded in the Foreign market, but prices generally
ir! Very depressed. Turkish 6 per Cents, are 73
73k; ditto 1858, 531 to 531; Mexican have
teceded to 231 24 ; Sardinian to 811 ; Spanish
Passive to 161; Brazilian 5 per Cents. to 99; and
data 44 per Cents. 85,1 ; Russian 5 per Cents. are
marked 1021.
The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
been very limited, and a further decline has taken
~Place in the rates current for most of the principal
British undertakings. Caledonian have receded 4 ;
Eastern Counties,;, ; Great Western, ; Lancashire
411 d Yorkshire, 4 ; North Western, If ; Midland, 4;
North Eastern (Berwick), 1 ; and South Eastern,
tendon and'Brighton, however, have improved 4.

In the Foreign Market no dealings of importance
were recoried, and prides were nominally a shade
latter. _

The. Colonial lines were flat. Grand Trunk of
~..413ad11, declined L 1; East Indian, ss. ; and Great
Western of Canada and Great Indian Peninsula
4rely sustained previous quotations.

A " Row" AT THE VATICAN.—It is to be la-
mented that his holiness cannot make some " especial dis-
Position" to regulate the pushing and crushing which
attend meet of the holy week's ceremonies, and particularly
the washing. of thirteen priests' feet in St. Peter's, and
the subsequent waiting upon them at dinner in one of the
Vatican halls by the Pope, in allusion to our Saviour's
similar act of humiliation towards the Apostles. Doling
this allegorical repast, on Thursday, the crowd of specta-
tors pressed so compactly round the Court circle and the
banquet table that Count Carcani, one of the Pope's came-
21er•
t eegreti, was pushed violently against the Pope's major
demo, Monsignore Borromvo, to the great damage of the
eoont's frill and ruffles, and to the complete overthrow of
the prelate's equanimity. The count excused himself by
Saying that he was pushed forward by some French officers,
and the major dome soon got to high words with these
latter gentlemen, saying, finally, that the palace would go
'37,1 much better if freed of their presence altogether. A
veteran French colonel, however, in the group was not to
be but down so easily. He stalked forward, and eyeing
the Purple-robed, gold-chained functionary with grim con-
tempt, apostrophized him with the withering epithet of—
"lmbecile I Do you not know that if we were not here
you would not be here either ?"—Litter from Anne.
