CITY, Two O'CLOCK

Continued firmness is reported in the money
market, and the rapid efflux of gold to the United
States is calculated to prevent any immediate
reaction in the rates of discount. About 250,000
sovereigns were withdrawn from the Bank of
England yesterday for transmission to New Or-
leans, and the remittances during the present
Week will represent a considerable aggregate
Supply. As these shipments cannot be maintained
Without producing increasedstringency, capitalists
are induced to exact full terms for the negotiation
of commercial securities.

The Foreign Exchanges, yesterday afternoon,
exhibited an advance in the rates on Amsterdam
Frankfort, Vienna, and Trieste.

Gold is now about 5-10ths dearer in London than
in Paris, and 6.loths higher here than in Ham-
burg.

The bar silver, by the Seine, from the West
Indies has been sold at ss. id. per ounce, standard,
showing a slight decline.

The Spanish Financial Commission have notified
that the auction of the Foreign Redeemable Debt
Will take place at Madrid on the 27th instant, for
Which purpose the Government have assigned
1,302,292 reales.
A general court of the directors, governor, and
company of the Bank of England will take place
on the 14th instant for the consideration of a divi-
dend.

At the annual meeting of the Star Life Assu-
rance Society, the directors' report for the year
1860, which was unanimously adopted, stated that
902 new policies had been issued for the assurance
of £336,290, yielding an annual income of £11,312
15s. 9d., an amount exceeding that of any previous
year. The annual revenue, after deducting the
premiums for policies fallen in by death, and sur-
rendered to the office, now amounts to £89,439
3s. ld. The premium or assurance fund is now
£360,530 35., showing an increase of £51,085
178. 10d. during the year. It appears that the
claims by death, after deducting sums assured in
other offices, amount to £21,942 16s. ld., assured
by 60 policies ; and the directors state that this
sum and number are below the average expected
and provided for. During the last five years the
sum of £158,419 15s. 10d. has been added to the
assurance or premium fund, while £204,531 2s. 6d.
has been paid since the establishment of the society
on policies which have become claims by death.

Continued activity prevailed in the Liverpool
Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were fully
Per lb. higher. The sales rather exceeded 15,000
bales.

The Hamburg and American Company's steam
ship Teutonia, which sailed to-day for New York,
takes out specie—£31,000 in sovereigns, 270 pas-
sengers, and upwards of 700 tons measurement cargo
on freight.
The United States mail steamer Arago, which
sailed to-day for New York, takes out £20,000
specie in sovereigns.

The business transacted in the market for Public
Securities to-day has been limited, and chiefly in
connexion with the monthly settlement of the
account. Consols, however, have continued steady
at 911 t for money, and at 921 A for April 10th.
Speculators still take an unfavourable view of the
Market, owing to the continued stringency of money
and the increased efflux of gold to America. The
New Threes and the Reduced are flat at 911
but Exchequer Bills are firm at 6s. to 2s. dis. ;
Bank Stock remains at 2321 ; and India 5 per
Cents. are 1001.
Very little alteration has taken place in Foreign
Securities, and business has been moderately
active. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 694 to 701; ditto
1858, 514 521 ; ditto £lOO Bonds are steady at 53;
Sardinian at 823 ; Portuguese at 46t. Dutch 21
per Cents. have improved to 64 ; but Mexican are
flat at 23 ; and Spanish Deferred at 41. Gre-
nada Active are firm at 16.

In the Railway Share Market the transactions
have not been very extensive, but, in most in.
stances, prices have been well supported. Caledo-
nians, North-Eastern (Berwick), and South-
Easterns, have improved ss. ; and Great Northern,
Lancashire and Yorkshire, North-Eastern (York),
and West Midlands 10s. London and Brighton,
North-Western, and Manchester, Sheffield, and
Lincoln have declined ss.
The Foreign and Colonial lines have been in very
limited request, and prices have shown no change
of impedance.

Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
barely support previous quotations, the dealings
however have been of a very unimportant character.

PLYMOUTH, TUESDAY.—The paddle-wheel steam
tender Avon, T. Hammond, master, left the Sound this
afternoon, in order, if possible, to communicate with the
screw steam-frigate Narcissus, 51, Captain Risk, now on
her voyage to Madeira, Ascension, and the Cape of Good
lOpe, with Rear-Admiral Sir Baldwin Walker. For the
last 24 hours south-westerly winds have prevailed, but a
strong breeze in the morning declined as the day advanced.
REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH LANCASIIIRE.—A
resetting of the leading Liberal electors of South Lanca-
shire was held at the Royal Hotel, Manchester, yesterday
Morning, with a view of considering the propriety of
selecting a Liberal candidate in the event of Parliament
conferring a new seat on this division of the county. The
Meeting was private, and is understood to have been ad-
jollrned for a fortnight without coming to any decision
respecting a candidate. The Conservatives meet for a
similar object at Newton-le-Willows to-day, when the
names of Mr. Edward Lloyd, of Manchester, and Mr. J. A.
Tobin, of Liverpool, will be submitted.
MURDER OF A WIFE, NEAR RYDE, ISLE OF
1.,,
IGItT.—In the Crown Court, Winchester, yesterday,
enrY Lacey, a stout-built, bald-headed man, was indicted
for the wilful murder of his wife, Jane Lacey, at St. Helen's.
fl:se witnesses agreed that at the time of the murder Lacey
oliwi.n a very excited state, quite like a madman. Mr.
fe_,rot and Mr Pinniger, the surgeons, testified to his suf-
.:l.7lg from delirium tremens ; and the former gentleman
stated that the injuries to the deceased, the result of blows,
,„erwoueld not have been likely to have caused the death of a
°n in ordinary health. The jury convicted the prisoner
