The demands for discount accommodation in
Lombard-street and at the Bank of England is
less pressing, but the applications made towards
the close of the week scarcely afford a reliable index
of the current requirements. Unless a kind of
panic feeling is engendered, there can be no doubt
that the demand will relax, because business suf-
fers, and being so much contracted will require a
proportionably smaller amount of capital. In
Mincing-lane, sales can scarcely be effected, even
at most reduced quotations ; and in the textile
manufacturing districts the same languor prevails.
If trade is thus repressed, the inquiry for discount
accommodation is likely to experience some dimi-
nution.

About 15,0001. in bar gold was taken out of the
Bank yesterday for remittance to the Continent ;
and in addition 35,000 sovereigns were despatched
for Lisbon. Owing to the continued importation
of silver from France and Belgium, it is fared
that the advance of the rate of discount to 9 per
cent. will not stop the withdrawals from the Bank
which are required for the payment of these sup-
plies.

During the early part of the day there was con-
siderable buoyancy in the Market for Public
Securities. An idea seems to have seized some of
the speculators that the worst has almost been at-
tained, and that the rate of 9 per cent. cannot be
of long duration, and thus they are buying largely
for the next account. This stimulated an advance
of per cent., and the market has closed with a
steady appearance. Consols for money and the
10th instant have been dealt in at 88 88/
and for December account they were 891. #. The
New Threes are 87i 88 ; the Reduced, 88/ ; and
Exchequer Bills 255. to 18s. discount. Bank
Stock was 211.

In the Foreign Market also there is increased "
firmness, and about the usual amount of business -
bas been transacted. Turkish 6 per Cents. have II
been 87 to 874, and they closed at 87k I. The 4
per Cents. are 961. Sardinian are 89 ; Mexican,
181 ; and Grenada New Active, 174.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign it
Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 5 6 ; Mexi-
can, 18 ; Peruvian 44 per Cents., 75 77 ; ditto u

TEE ACCIDENT AT THE ATTE3IPTED LAUNCH:- Joan
Donovan, one of the four men so severely hurt at the
windlass in the attempt to launch the Leviathan on
Tuesday last, died yesterday morning of his juries in
Poplar Hospital. An inquest will be held upon the
body.
PROHIBITION OF THE SUNDAY SERVICES AT EXETER-
HALL.—Our readers are aware that the occasional set.- ;
vices.at Exeter-ball were to have been resumed on Sunday
evening, but last night a notice was issued by Mr.
Wilbraham Taylor, the secretary to the oommittee for
the promotion of these services, signed by the Earl of
Shaftesbury, stating that a peremptory order had been
issued by the Rev. E. G. Edouart, the rector of the
parish, prohibiting their resumption, and that., in co nee-
quence, the service announced to take place to-morrow
would not be held. The committee further intimate 1:
hat they will not allow the matter to rest; but will take
immediate steps to have the question decided by a
o impotent legal tribunal.
THE CONDEMNED CONVICT DAVIS.—Tte unhappy
man Davis, who has been sentenced to death for the
murder of his wife, at Islington, and whore t xecutioe
has been definitively fixed to take place at the 041 it
Beiley next Monday week, is represented to be quite
reconciled to his fate, convinced that he cannot indulge
lily hope of mercy after the communications which have
been officially made to him by the sheriffs. He pays 2)
marked attention to the instructions of the chaplain, and
frequently exprmses contrition fur the crime he cam- 1i
spitted, and which he repeatedly avers he should never
have perpetrated had it Rot been for the mad excite-
ment occasioned by excessive drink. n;
—.l general can-
duct in the gaol leads to the belief that he is a man of
quiet habit', and not of a fercciJus disposition,
and that,
therefore, his statement in reference to his intoxicaticn 1
I unhappily too true.
