MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEIV,s.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The Bank of England return completed to the
4th September shows some rather unfavourable
features ; the bullion, owing to the circulation of
coin in the agricultural districts, has only been
slightly increased,notwithstanding the arrivals from
Australia and the Continent. The reserve of note,
has also been diminished to the extent of nearl3
half a million. In the private deposits there is a
diminution to about a like amount, and the other
securities show a rather large addition, notwith-
standing the easy tone of the Money Market. The
other items of the balance sheet and the changes
they present will be seen in the subjoined table:—

About £37,000 in gold was sent into the Bank
of England yesterday.

he discotint market continues in a very quiet
state, and the rates remain steady.
During the last few days the operations in the
Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets have not
been very extensive ; prices, however, have been
generally well sustained for most of the principal
staples. Tea has maintained fully previous rates,
and good qualities of sugar and coffee have been in
moderate demand at fall prices. Rice has been
actively dealt in at enhanced rates, chiefly for
expprt ; but spices and fruit have slightly declined.
Tallow has been dull, the principal dealings having
been on speculative account.

In the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday,
business continued rather quiet, but prices were
well supported. The sales were 8,000 bales.
The highest range of prices attained in the Eng-
lish Stock Market yesterday afternoon has not
been maintained, the Bank return having led to a
few sales, which have caused diminished firmness.
Consols, however, have not varied to any material
extent, the latest quotations being 93 938 for
money and the 10th in't; and 93/ 1 for October.
The New Threes are 911, and the Reduced 911 1;
Exchequer Bills, March, 2s. dis. to 2s. prem.; ditto,
June, Bs. prem ; India 5 per Cents. Loan is 1031 /;
ditto New Scrip, 1049; ditto, 5 per Cent., Enfaced
Paper, 961 27, and ditto 51 per Cents. 104.
There has been very little activity in the Foreign
Market, but prices, in some instances, have shown
increased firmness. Turkish 6 per Cents. have im-
proved to 811 I; ditto, 1858, 67/ 681; ditto £lOO
Bonds to 701 ; Buenos Ayres to 86 ; ditto Deferred
to 29; Equador to 151; and Mexican to 211.
Spanish remain at 491.

The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
not been of a very extensive character. Prices, how-
ever, are generally well supported. Caledonians
have improved 103. to 15s. ; North Westerns, 10s. ;
North Easterns (Leeds), 10s. ; Midlands, ss. ; and
South Easterns, ss.

The Foreign and Colonial lines have remained in-
active without any material alteration in value. South
Lombardo-Venetian are firm at 17a, and Bahia
and San Franciso at 12k, 121 ; Great Luxemburg
have improved to 81, '4 ; East Indian to 1011, 1021 ;
Great Indian Peninsula to 991 ; Great Southern of
India to 99/, -I ; and Scinde to 102 ; Great Wes-
tern of Canada are flat at 9i.

Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
show little variation of importance: Bank of Bri-
tish North America have improved 10s., Ottoman
Bank, 55., London Joint-stock declined 55., and
Australian Agricultural, ss.

DEATH OF TOM SEBRIGHT.--Itis
that we halm to record the death of Tom
ebright, the
senior sportsman in England, which occurred
on Sunday
last at his house in Milton-park. The event was

with the malady which proved fatal—inflammation of the
hounds chest. Tom hai been with the FitzwilliamA
for no
less than forty-one years, and it was only last y that a
testimonial of the value of 800 guineas was presented to him
—a fact which sufficiently proves that his zeal and courtesy
in the hunting field met with the appreciation which they ,
certainly merited.
WORMS IN THE EYES OF GEESE.—The follow.
ing letter appears in the Irish Farmer's Gazette :—" The
most singular thing I ever heard of has happened to our
geese this year. They are all going blind, and
pining away,
I had one of them killed; and when we opened the eye-
ball, a small black worm, just like a young leech, came out.
It was very lively; and when it was put into water, it swam
about exactly as a leech does. I sent the insect, alive, in a
bottle of water, to Dublin, to Mr. Small, of Aungier-street,
who is our veterinary surgeon He has ordered us to cut
open the eye-balls of those affected, with a lancet or sharp
Perauife,
