MONEY MARKET _AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The Bank of England return, completed to the
6th inst., contains several features of interest.
There has been a diminution in the bullion, partly
in consequence of the increased circulation of coin
in the agricultural districts during the haymaking
season. The reserve of notes has been diminished
to a considerable extent. the active circulation
having been stimulated by the demand for mer-
cantile accommodation last week, and the other
securities have been augmented about a quarter of
a million sterling. The public deposits show rather
a large decrease, but there has been an important
addition to the private balances. The other items
of the balance sheet show little variation requiring
special notice; they will be seen in the subjoined
table :

There is still a very limited inquiry for discount
accommodation, and the terms remain at an ex-
tremely low point. Since the date of the Bank
return, which is indicative of increased activity in
discount circles, the market has undergone a de-
cided change, and next week's statement will pro-
bably exhibit rather different results, At the
Stock Exchange the liquidation in Consols has
produced very little effect on the rates at which
loans can be negociated.

The steamer Tasmanian, which leaves to-day for
Brazil, will take out £8,200, nearly the whole of
which is in silver.

Accounts from Liverpool state that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed with a very animated ap-
pearance, and prices of all descriptions advanced Id.
per lb. The sales amounted to 15,000 bales.
The rates of exchange on Vienna and Trieste
exhibited an advance yesterday afternoon ; on the
other cities of the continent no change of import-
lance occurred.

At :the Bank of England yesterday there were no
bullion operations of importance.
The bar silver brought by the last Mexican
packet has been sold at ss. 2d. per oz., showing no
alteration ; and the dollars at ss. Oid., being Id:
lower than the prices realised for the previous
supply.

To-day a call of £s'per share or £375,000 becomes
due on the East India (E shares) Railway.
Three failures have taken place on the Stock
Exchange to-day.
The Stock exchange markets continue buoyant
and animated. At the commencement of busi-
ness this naornidg the Funds appeared .very
firm, a recovery to the highest point
attained yesterday having taken place. Further
purchases have been effected on speculative
account, and as money investments are now effected
more activity is experienced. Consols have been
94195 x, but the present quotation is 95 to 951. The
New Threes are firm at 951 ; the Reduced at 941;
India Stock at. 2141 to 218 ; ditto Debentures at
951 ; ditto Scrip at 944 ; Exchequer Bills are
245. to 275. prem.

15s. ; and Lancashire and Yorkshire, and North-

THE LOSS OF TRE ALMA.

The following is a copy of a letter signed by the
passengers of the Alma, and addressed to Messrs.
Gisborne and Newall, who took so active and use-
, ful a part on the occasion of the wreck on the
Moorshedgerah reef:—

!I Red Sea, June 15
" Gentlemen,—The passengers of the Alma, while they
feel deep gratitude to all those who lent a helping hand for
their safety and succour, and in various capacities assisted
in those arrangements which enabled them to pass through
such scenes of distress with every possible mitigation, feel
it due to Messrs. Newall and Gisborne to select them for
special and most thankful acknowledgments. To the
promptitude and courage of Mr. Newall and his mission to
Mocha and Aden they owe—by the arrival of her Majesty's
steamer Cyclops—their early redemption from the coral
reef on which they were thrown, and to the admirable mea-
sures of superintendence taken by Mr. Gisborne, to whom
the distribution of supplies was wholly confided while on
that barren island, they must mainly attribute, under God,
the alleviation of their sufferings and even the preservation
of their lives. Justice towards all was attended by every
consideration for the peculiar claims of the helpless, the
- weak, and the suffering, and the confidence in your guidance
was not only never shaken but ratified and confirmed by
"I'e experience of us all."

DIPLOMATIC CHANGES.—Lord Chelsea has been
recalled from the office of Secretary of Embassy at Paris.
The important office of Secretary of Embassy at Paris will
be filled by the Hon. William Grey, now Secretary of Le-
gation at Berlin, whose ability has been on several occa-
sions the subject of special recognition on the part of those
with whom he was officially associated. Mr. Grey will be
succeeded at Berlin by Mr. Lowther, now Secretary of Le-
gation at St. Pstersburg. Mr. S. Lumley, Secretary of
Legation at Madrid, succeeds Mr. Lowther at St. Peters-
burg, a
ridnd the Hon. R. Edwardes goes from Frankfort to
Mad.
MlNES.—During the early part of the present
week business in the mining share market was particularly
inactive and dull, but things improved towards the latter
part of it, and several shares became more in demand.
Prices, nevertheless, with very few exceptions, have de-
clined, and leave off with a downward tendency; and we
believe most of the present depression is owing as much to
the season of the year, when speculators and investors
get away from town, and as much as possible from business
.
Pursuits, as from the decline the standard for copper
improved this week, and a
ores, which, by the way, has
—further rise anticipated. Tin also is firmer, and Banca has
risen about £lO per ton. These things, with the armistice,
should make the markets better, and we anticipate having
to report on more activity for the future. —.Jimmy, Journal
of this day.
