MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The enquiry for money is steadily supported, and
the banks and discount houses still enforce full
terms for the bills they negotiate.
The sp?cie movement during the past week has
been very unfavourable, the imports having only
been £184,955, while the exports have reached
£738,180.

Lord john Russell will receive the proposed
deputation of Mexican Bondholders at the foreign
Office, on Monday next the Bth instant, at four
o'clock.

A further sum of £12,000, in gold, was added to
the stock of bullion in the Bank yesterday.
In the Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon
increased firmness was apparent in the rates on
frraost of the principal cities of the Continent.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday con-
tinued activity was apparent, and the sales amounted
to 15,000 bales. Prices were very firm, but no
particular alteration occurred.

There is very little alteration to report in the
position of the Money Market, the dealings having
been extremely limited. The fineness of the weather,
coupled with the quietude of business, induces a
large number of the members to absent themselves.
Consols, however, are per cent. better, viz., 891 s for
money to the 10th, and 90k for the August settlement.
The New 3 per Cents. and the Reduced Annuities
Were firm at 89 and 89k. Bank Stock brought
230 ; India Stock 218 ; and the 5 per Cent. Loan
98,1 ; India Bonds were 10s. dis. ; and Exchequer
Bills realised 1 ls. dis. for the March, and ls. to ss.
dis. for the June issues.

The dealings in the Foreign Stock Market
have been limited. Mexican Stock was steady at
22i ; Sardinian realised 781 ; Spanish, 481 ; the
Deferred, 411 ; and Austrian 3 per Cents. 611 ;
Turkish Bonds are firm at 75 to 751 for the Old
6 per Cents. ; and 60 tr, 604 for the Loan of 1858..
Business in the Railway Share Market con-
tinued moderately active, and in some instances
prices slightly advanced. Great Western, Mid-
land,, and North Stafford improved 55., and Cale-
uunian and North Western, 10s.; South Eastern,
however, declined ss.
The Foreign and Colonial undertakings exhi-
bited little variation. Bahia and San Francisco
realised 10k. Madras 5 per Cents. declined to
92i; and Grand Trunk of Canada to 19 and 19i.
Jai:tit-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have
continued in fair demand. Oriental Bank advanced
tob 471 ; Union of Australia realised 39i ; and
'd Sea Telegraph 181.

CRLMORNE PRIVATE FETES.—We understand
that tsv oaprivatefetes are to be given at Cremorne Gardens
Thmsday, the 18th, and Wednesday, the 24th inst., in
aid of the Distressed Spitalfields Weavers and the Spital-
fields .Emigration Fund, admission to which is to be ob-
tained 'by vouchers from the ladies patronesses, of whom
there in a long and brilliant list. With the first of these
entert kinments is to be combined a juvenile fete, corn-
Mend ag and terminating at an early hour for the younger
memb ors of the families of the nobility and gentry, the
ticketa for which must also be obtained through vouchers
from the ladies patronesses. We trust that the funds may
be gre fitly benefited through the exertions of the distin-
guish( d party who have so kindly expressed their intention
of patronising the entertainments.—. Era.
THE STAR OF THE EAST.—An inquiry at the in-
stance of the Board of Trade was commenced yesterday at
Liverpool, before Mr. T. S. Raffles, the stipendiary magis-
trate, and Captain Harris, R.N., into the circumstances
"Mee ted with the ship Star of the East. The inquiry was
Conducted by Mr. Tyndale, solicitor to the Board of Inland
Revenue, and the ship was owned by Mr. James Beazley,
of Live riSool. From the opening of the case it appeared that
the Sttx of the East had been for some time employed in
tradin p; between Bombay and Calcutta, and sailed from the
latter port for Liverpool on the 15th February last laden
With a, general cargo, consisting of cotton, pepper, &c. It
Was further stated that the vessel was well found in stores
said ri going, the latter being new. On the evening of tile
9th April, while in Struy's Bay, near the Cape of Good
Rope, with a stiffish head wind blowing, she missed stays,
and struck near Buffel's Fontein. The concussion was so
severe as to knock a hole in her bottom, and a heavy sea
„44shirier over her, she had 15 feet of water in her, and before
2 o'cloc kin the morning the crew were forced to abandon
tile vessel which in three days completely broke up. The
8'49 an d cargo were estimated as worth 140,000. Evidence
as to ft Le facts was entdred into, and the court adjourned.
OAII'NING' AND GLADSTONE.—At the critical time
of 182 , we were so near losing Canning from his proper
Place, /that nothing but the fitness of things could have kept
him hare. He had bidden good-bye to his friends gene-
rally, and had everything ready for going to India. Many
grieve Et that he should go where his special gifts would
"e half wasted. Some of us may remember how we
rod in. the daily papers of his last movements, as we had
before read his last words in Parliament. We read
that he was at Liverpool, among his •olsl constituents,—
stayin gat his friend Gladstone's. There he was, indeed,
---.sitting one day for hours at his chamber-window,
looking over the sea. There was a little boy playing
on the strand that day; and perhaps he glanced up at
the window, and may remember the face that looked
out tb ere. That little boy was the Mr. Gladstone of
one d ay. Mr. Canning was pondering some news
Which was on the way to the King in Scotland. Lord
Londonderry had destroyed himself; and there might now
be an opening for changing the political aspect of all Europe.
di,d not know—nobody knew what would be done neat.
The r.ing dreaded above everything the necessity of accept-
ing Cunning as a member of the Cabinet: Canning told his
Livery 00l friends, when the news was in all mouths, that he
had to knowledge whatever "of any arrangements likely to
tt"v c•ut of the present state of things." There was no other
13,)11 owever, the Liverpool people said; and they were con-
fident
,he would not go to India. The unprogressive poll
tieia
/is about the King put off to the last moment their
Levitation t) Canning. It was on tht 12th of August
th,.at
S 'Lord Londonderry died, and it was on the 11th
ori .aptember that Mr. Canning became Foreign Sec •
of gong Re had then only five years to live ; but, instead
