AUSTRIA.

The speech of M. de Schmerling to the Chamber
of. Deputies of Vienna, on the subject of the disso-
lution of the Diet of Hungary, is the subject of very
diversified comments in the journals on the other
side of the Rhine, which agree in admitting the
clearnt-ss of the explanations given by the Minister.
The journals of the North, which are devoted
to the idea of German unity, insist on the suc-
cess of the Austrian statesman and the defeat of
Federalist opinions. In Hungary, as may be readily
comprehended, the view taken of it is not the same,
and the language of the Pesth journals regards the
new state of affairs created by the dissolution in a
different light. The tranquillity of the country,
however, continues ; the Government has had re-
placed on the public buildings the eagles which had
been removed, and the functionaries have received
orders to lay aside the Hungarian costume, and re-
sume the Austrian uniform. A private despatch
from Vienna states that the Cardinal Archbishop of
Gran defends the resolutions of the Diet of Hun-
gary, and has declared himself against the dissolu-
tion.

MONEY MARK ET AND CITY IV EIVS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The demand for discount accommodation con-
tinues moderate, and the quotations still show a
favourable tendency.

About £B,OOO in gold was sent into the Bank of
England yesterday.

No alteration of importance took place in the
Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon.
A general court of the directors, governor, and
company of the Bank of England, will be held on
the 12th inst., for the consideration of a dividend,
and it will also be one of the quarterly general
courts appointed by the charter.

Since Monday last the imports of specie have
amounted to about £354,000, and the exports to
£203,000.

Continued quietude prevailed in the Liverpool
Cotton Market yesterday, but prices were unaltered.
The sales were 8,000 bales.
The following remarks upon the state of the grain
trade during the past week are from the circular of
Messrs. J. and C. Sturge, of Birmingham :—The
fine warm weather of the past month has enabled
the farmers iu this part of the country to secure
nearly the whole of their corn in the finest possible
order, and indeed quality and condition are almost
perfect, but the yield on the heavy leads is much
complained of. The demand far France continues,
and has prevented the fall in the value of
English wheat from exceeding 3s. per quarter : the
new wheat being much sought after, not only for
home use, but also for export. The price of foreign,
arrived on the coast, has risen nearly as much
as that of home-grown has declined. The
imports of wheat and flour for June amounted to
925,745 quarters, or nearly 50 per cent. more than
in the preceding month ; whilst those of the twelve
months ware equal to ten and a half millions, or
about two-thirds of the estimated consumption of
the country for a year; showing that only about
one-third of the quantity required for the support
of the population had to be supplied from home-
grown. The exports to the end of July were only
26,131 quarters. The crops of wheat in the
United States and Canada are said to be large ;
but the French demand has caused an advance
of nearly 6s. per quarter in the quotations at the
American ports. Those of Eastern Europe appear,
on the whole, to be good ; though many districts
have suffered seriously from drought and others
from wet. The deficiency in the French harvest is
confirmed, but we think it probable the purchases
making in the ports of the Baltic, America; the
Danube, and the Black and Azoff Seas, added to
shipments from England, and floating cargoes
ordered from ports of call, will soon exceed the
demand, and that, as in former instances, a portion
of the later arrivals will have to be reshipped to
this country, though it must be admitted that up to
the present time the imports have barely kept pace
With the demand.

Business in the market for Public Securities to-
day has been very quiet, and it is likely to continue
so until after the completion of the settlement.
Quotations have not undergone any material varia-
tion ; Consols, however, are rather firmer, being 93
to 931 for money and the 10th, and 93i t for
October. The New Threes and the Reduced are
steady at Mt 2 ; Exchequer Bills have receded to
2s. and ls. die.; ditto, June, are steady at ss. to Bs.
prem. ; India Stock is at 220 ; and ditto, 5 per
Cents., 1031 1.

Scarcely any busineEs has been reported in
Foreign Securities, but prices continue tolerably
firm. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 811 82i ; ditto, 1858,
674 681; ditto £lOO Bonds are flat at 70 ; Equador
New are 15k.

The East del Rey Mining shares are quoted
prem., and the Bahia Steam Company ;;1 prem.
The operations in the Railway Share Market
were of a very limited character, and the variations
in prices unimportant. Caledonians and Eastern
Counties improved 55.; Lancashire and Yorkshire
and North-Eastern (York), declined 55.; aid South-
Westerns, 10s.

In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings busi-
ness continued inactive. South Austrian and

burg 8/ -T.. East Indian declined to 1011; Great
Indian Peninsula to 99 and 99? ; and Great Wes-
tern of Canada New Shares to 79.

minutes denied receiving it.
It is reported that Mr. Campo, who has a large
quantity of tobacco at New Orleans to supply the Spanish
is endeavouring by the aid of the Spanish Govern-
contract,
ment to obtain permissiouto export it. If this permission
granted, there would be no reason against the Eng-

Palmer Brothers, Jarrow, was safel
Dock yesterday afternoon, where her engines
aboard and her hull completed ; and, in tow of s put
steam tugs, she was safely taken down the harbour aeuvderatO
sea. Her steam was up last evening, and, in the company
of a screw collier, she will proceed from the bar this even-
ing, under steam, for Chatham, where her masts and guns
will be put aboard. Her departure from the Tyne was wit-
nessed by a large concourse of people.
DOVER SAILORS' HOME.—At 8 45 on Thursday
night, seven men from the French lugger La Flamme were
landed at Dover and receive at the Sailors' Home. The
La Flamme was run down by the brig Topsey, of New-
haven, between the Galloper and the Kentish Knock. The
captain and one man would not leave the La Flamme when
she was struck, and have no doubt perished, as she foun-
dered almost immediately. This makes 130 wrecked crews
who have been tqaccoured at the Dover Sailors' Homo, 32
of whom have belonged to French vessels.
