IVIONEY TIARKET

A IN P
COMMERCIAL INTZLLIGENC2.

CITY, Two o'CLocg.

Letters from Liverpool state that the Colton
market yesterday closed quietly, bat firmly, and
paces for all descriptions were quits as high as
last week. The sales were 7,000 bales, 200 for
export and 800 on speculation. The Railway Share
Market was dull, and prices were a shade lower
thin on Saturday.
A very small amount of gold was taken from the
Tsank yesterday, and the supply brought by the
Lightning has been purchased for transmission to
the Continent.
During the next few d,ys the quantity just
received from Mexico and America will no doubt
mlisfy the demands of shipv.rs, and it is therefkTe
Presumed that the efflux from the national esta-
blishment will be checked. Large amounts still
arrive from the Continent, and it is said that the
steamer on the 20th inst. will take out almost as
41 itch as that on board the Ripon, which leaves
katthampton to-day.
There is no new feature to report in connection
pith the money market, except that the demand
Consequent upon the payments to-day has slightly
increased. A full and active inquiry now prevails,
and high terms are exacted I,y the discount firms.
e is no immediate apprehension of an advance
in the minimon, but on the other hand it is not
thought that accommodation will become cheaper
at present. The consol settlement on Thursday
text will, no doubt, create a good demand from
that quarter, but this will be merely temporary,
and if the specie drawn abated, or the influx to
feed it became larger, increased confidence
Would probably be entertained, but the ad-
vance in terms for bills drawn upon the
Presidencies, and the withdrawals from the
Bank, have produced an uneasy feeling, because
On former occasions an unfavourable movement of
that character has necessitated a restrictive policy
on the part of the authorities.
Another failure has taken place in the Stock
Exchange.
Renewed symptoms of weakness are exhibited in
the market for Public Securities, and a decline of
I per cent. has taken place. This is purely the
result of speculative transactions connected with
the settlement, and the market appears in a very
uncertain state. Nothing further has transpired in
connection with the progress of events in the East,
and as the demand for money is pressing, and the
specie movement is nut satisfactory, the quotations
tend downwards. Consols for money and Thurs-
day have been 90il -.I; and 901 ; and for Septem-
ber 91 to 91k and 90T to 91. The present prices
aro 90 5-16 to 2-16 and 901 to 91 respectively.
The New 3 per Cents, are 90 ; and the Re-
duced 901 ; Exchequer Bills have risen to ls. dis.
to par ; and Bank Stock is quoted at 215.1 17.
The Foreign Market is quiet, and the prices
are rather weaker. Turkish 6 per Cents. have
dropped to 94g it ; and the 4 per Cents. are at
tonaival rates. Brazilian 41 per Cents. are at 971 ;
Chilian 3 per Cents. 77 ; Russian 5 per Cents.
1.2.11 ; do. Small Bonds 991 ; Spanish Deferred 25 ;
Dutch 4 per Cents. 98g ft ; and Mexican 3 per
Cents. 221.
The subjoined communication is from the com-
mittee of Mexican Bondholders. The committee
are without letters from Mr. Whitehead by the
Parana. They must have been left behind by some
accident. The packet brings no remittances for
the Dividend Fund.

" The committee of the Stock Exchange have appointed
the following settling days, viz. :—Bon-Accord Copper
•
Company (limited), Monday, 10th August, and
to be marked ; East Lancashire, new 91., Friday, 7th

DRURY.LANE DRAMATIC SEASON.—This house opens
on the 7th prox. with Mr. Roberts in leading tragedy,
Supported by the strongest company for serious drama
that has appeared at our "national play-house" since
Macready's lesseeship. Mr. Roberts will make his bow
to a London audience as Sir Giles Overreach. He will
then play in succession Lear, Richard the Third, and
Othello.

It is stated that the.Eastlndia Company have approved
the plans of the Eastern Bengal R%ilway Company, and
that a guarantee of 5 per cent. has been granted on their
capital of 1,000,0001. in the same manner as the other
lines. The route runs from Calcutta through the Delta
of the Ganges towards DeccA, and passes in the midst
of rich and extremely populous districts.
The exact amount of specie shipped by the Peninsular
and Oriental steamer Ripon is 1.012,9631., of which
843,445/. is for India, and 169,5181. for China and the
Straits. Nearly the whole of it is silver, the gold being
only 5,3801.
Further news from India may now be expected at any
moment by the Australian mail, which was to leave
Sydney on the 15th of June. She would touch at Point
de Galle about the 11th of July, where later intelligence
may have arrived from Madras, or she might fall in at
Aden with any steamer despatched to that place by the
Bombay authoritio.F. The Caradoc, it appears, is waiting
at Ah xandria to bring any despatches that may arrive
to Cagliari to be transmitted to London by the Sardinian
t:3l ?graph.

PROPOSED NEW FOOT-BRIDGE OVER THE THAMES AT
RIOHDIOND.—The executive committee of the Conserva-
tive
.Land Society having renewed negotiations for the
erection of a foot-bridge across the Thames, in connec-
tion with the railway bridge a deputation consisting of
the Viscount Ingestre, and Mr. Henry Pownall;
members of the committee, and Mr. G. Morgan, their
surveyor, accompanied by Mr. H. G. Day, r f Islewortb,
waited by appointment yesterday on the Hon. C. Gore,
chief cow misoioner, at the office of Woods and Forests,
Whitehall. The bridge is designed to remedy the incon-
venience at present felt by the inhabitants of the locality,
from tho want of a direct communication between Rich-
mond and Isieworth. The project has received the
sanction of the Sou'h•Western Railway Company, and
of the Corporation of London, as conservatori of the
Thames. Mr. Morgan, as architect and surveyor to the
society, prepared a plan as an outrigger to the railway
bridge, access to which would be gained at the Middle-
sex and Surrey ends by light spiral staircases. Objection
has hitherto been made on the part of the Crown, that
the bridge would interfere with ferry rights belonging
to the Crown. The deputation were requested to com-
municate further information with respect to the limits
of the Llries at Richmond and Isloworth.
