rather active
in consequence of the mercantile community
providing themselves with accommodation for the
engagements falling due at the end of the month.

although the best bills may be negotiated at 64
per cent., the general rate is 7 per cent. in the
open market as well as at the Bank of England.
A small amount of gold, viz. X 16,000, was sent
into the Bank of England yesterday.
No important alterations were exhibited in the
Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon.
Rather less animation prevailed in the Liverpool
Cotton Market yesterday, but there was a good
demand, and prices were firm. The sales amounted
to about 10,000 bales.
At the meeting of the proprietors of the Otto-
man Bank held to-day, a dividend at the rate of 8
per cent. free of income tax was agreed to.

THE MARBLE ARCH STREET RAILWAY.—The
'wine animated scene along the Bayswater-road from the
Marble Arch to Notting. hill Gate still presents itself as on
Saturday and Sunday, from the large number of people
attracted by curiosity to witness, and, in most instances, to
tide upon the first metropolitan street railway. In the
Course of Monday two accidents and several obstructions,
the latter alleged to be wilful, took place, but fortunately
unattended with serious consequences. The accidents
*rose from a cab, said to have been hired for the purpose
ef obstructing the tramway, being driven slowly imme-
4iately in heat of Mr. Train's cars until it arrived at
the Marble Arch end, when the horses of a heavily
'eon coal waggon, coming in an opposite direction,
got into collision, and turned suddenly round amongst
the Crowd of people there assembled, thereby narrowly
escaping the upsetting of the coal waggon, and doing in-
Jury to some of the people. In the second case a cab—
said to be the same vehicle—whilst being driven on and off
the tram, directly in front of one of the tram cars, the pole of
the latter ran into the hind part, completely staving it in.
Two cars were kept running from ten in the morning to
eight
with passengers. Notwithstanding a large number of men
were employed with brooms to keep the line clear, stones
would frequently get upon the rails by some mysterious
means, and throw one or other of the cars off. In order to
get the car again upon the track the passengers had on each
occasion to be entirely discharged, and the car to be lifted
bodily by the sweepers and others employed upon the tram-
way.

THE COMING CENSUS.—During the 60 years of
which the ten-yearly census has taken account the
popu-
lation has been almost trebled in the 20 principal
metal
manufacturing districts; while it has increased only 80
cent., or has not quite doubled, in the rest of the country
per
In the 10 years between the last census and that which.
Preceded it the increase of population in all England
and Wales was rather more than an addition of 12 souls
to every 100. The whole population rose, in round
numbers, from 16,000,000 to 18,000,000. So that for
this part of the United Kingdom we may expect a re-
turn of more than 20,000,000 next month. The rate of
increase varied much, as we have said, in different places.
In Wilts there was even decrease. In Cambridge there was
very little more than the average increase. In Durham the
micrease was of above 25 ; in London nearly of 21 on every
hundred. London had advanced, and the exact figures are
Worth giving in this case, from 1,948,417 to 2,362,236. The
Present., population, therefore, may not be many thousands
short of 3,000,000, for the pace of growth is quickened.-

SINGING THE " WRANG TUNE."—The Arbroath
Guid,e
Says ;—On Sunday week a Presbyterian congrega-
tion, worshipping in an ancient pile not many furlongs from
this town, were somewhat tickled to observe their precentor
tease singing in the middle of a verse and hear him give out
the foll
awing line for the special edification of some one in
ilB immediate vicinity :—" I say, Betsy, woman, you're
a.singing the wrang tune," and then resume his avocation
nh as solemn a countenance as if nothing particular
44 occurred.
