proceedings which need not be investigated, with
a recommendation that it would be as well if he
took his name off the boards ; and Lucius Mason
had arrived from Germany with his head full of
philology and chemistry, determined to cultivate
his own land on new and scientific principles. The
plot, as far as one can as yet:enter into, it is conceived
with the ability to be expected from the author,
and the tale promises to be one of much interest.

MONEY IiIARKE2' AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The accounts from the manufacturing districts
during the past week show very little improvement
in the general state of business. The woollen trade
at Leeds has continued quiet, the chief dealings
having been in light goods for the spring trade.
Business at Manchester has continued very dull,
and manufacturers have been pressing sales at
reduced rates. Wools and yarns at Bradford have
been neglected, and the few transactions in piece
goods have been chiefly to supply immediate home
requirements. The hosiery trade at Leicester has
continued inactive, but symptoms of improvement
have taken place in the lace trade at Nottingham.
In the hardware districts there is little change of
importance, the few orders in hand at Birmingham,
Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, being for home
demands.

Increased activity has been temporarily produced
in the general discount market by the payments
due to-day, the 4th of the month. Not the slightest
inconvenience, however, is experienced, good com-
mercial bills being easily negotiated, although full
rates are required for the accommodation. As soon
as the engagements now arriving at maturity are
liquidated it is expected that the market will
assume an easier appearance, as the ordinary re-
quirements of trade are comparatively moderate,
while the absorption for joint stock and exceptional
purposes is smaller than usual.

Rather more activity prevailed in the Liverpool
Cotton Market on Saturday, and prices were toler-
ably firm. The sales were 8,000 bales.
Small quantities of gold continue to be purchased
by the Bank of England, about £3,000 having been
sent there on Saturday.

The Norman has arrived from the Cape of Good
Hope with £4,260 in specie; and the Tagus, from
the Peninsula, with £1,664.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Ceylon sailed from Southampton to-day, for the
East. She takes out—in sovereigns, £4,890; bar
silver, £136,245; dollars, 23,911 ; gold coin, £2,371;
and jewellery, £2,487. Total, £169,9C4.
The traffic receipts of the Great Western Rail-
way of Canada, for the week ending the 15th ult.,
exhibited an increase of £1,878 compared with the
same period in 1860.

The English Stock Market is rather depressed,
several speculative sales having taken place,
causing a decline of almost f per cent. This un-
favourable tendency is ascribed to the position of
monetary affairs, and reported failures in Havan-
nah. Consols are 911 a for money, 913 for
the 7th inst., and 921 4 for April. The New
Threes and the Reduced are steady at 91* ; Long
Annuities at 161 ; and Exchequer Bills are firm at
7s. to 3s. dis. Bank Stock is at 231 and 233.
Indian ditto is flat at 221, and ditto New Scrip has
improved to 100-7,2.
-

The dealings in the Foreign market have been
of a moderate character, but prices generally are
flatter. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 691 70 ; ditto
1858, 511 52 ex div. ; Mexican are steady at 23k ;
and Brazilian 41 per Cents. at 851 ; Sardinian
have improved to 82i; Spanish Deferred to 411;
Dutch 4 per Cents. to 101 ; Grenada Active have
further advanced to 161 ; and ditto Deferred

,o 6k.

Business in the Railway Share Market has been
moderately active, and, in some instances, prices
have shown more firmness. Caledonians, Lanca-
shire, and Yorkshire, North-Eastern (Berwick), and
North Eastern (Yorkshire) have improved 55.; and
Great Westerns and Manchester, Sheffield, and
Lincoln, 10s.

In the Foreign Market no dealings of importance
have taken place—Great Luxemburg realise G 7;
Sambre and Meuse, SH, and Dutch Rhenish 12a.

The Colonial lines show increased firmness—
Grand Trunk of Canada have advanced 10s. ; Great
Western of Canada ss. ; and East Indian ss. ; Great
Indian Peninsula are steady at previous rates.

Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
continue in moderate request, without any material
change in values.
