MONEY MARKET

AND

007/lINIERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed firmly, but quietly, and
prices were without any material alteration. The
sales were estimated at 5,000 bales, 1,000 of which
Were taken by the exporters. The Railway Share
Market closed with a steady aspect, and prices of
all the leading stocks have advanced.
The draft of the Sound Dues Bill, has been issued
to-day, and it provides that the sum payable by
England, viz., 1,125,2061. shsll be handed over to
the Danish authorities 3 months after the passing
of the Act, out of the Consolidated Fund.
There was a Quarterly General Court of pro-
prietors of the East India Company this day—R.
D. Mangles, Esq., M.P., in the chair, when the
report of the Committee of Bye-laws was presented,
and, with the exception of the election of Mr.
Strachan, vice Mr. Weeding, deceased, the whole
list was re-elected for the ensuing year. Mr.
Lewin gave notice of a motion for the purpose of
inducing the honourable court to take measures for
remedying the breach of faith committed towards
the sepoys of the 69th Madras Cavalry. Mr. Jones
seconded the motion. The Chairman having sig-
nified that the motion had been several times dis-
posed of at previous courts, the subject was nega-
tived. The court then adjourned.
Gold at the present moment is 1-10th per cent.
dearer both at Paris and Hamburg than in
London.

The market for English Stocks is still remarkably
dull, the speculators being undecided in what
direction to proceed. The quotations are
about the same as those current yesterday,
and may, therefore, be considered very firm.
Many of the dealers and others are away,
the attractions at Sydenham and the fine-
ness of the weather having thinned the attendance.
Consols have been 93 to 93i for the 9th proximo,
and 93i for the opening. The New Three per
Cents. are 92l and the Reduced 92! Exche-
quer Bills have declined to ss. discount and par.
The Small ditto were ss. discount to 3s. premium,
and the Bonds 98i
In the Foreign Market business is very dull,
but the quotations remain without any change of
importance. Turkish 6 per Cents. are about 931
96, but very few transactions have taken place.
The 4 per Ceut. Guaranteed are ICli. Spanis!-
Deferred 26k, Dutch 21 per Cents. 63i A, Russian
-6 per Cents. 110, and ditto 4i per Cents. 98 to 981,
Mexican stock is quiet but steady at 22i, Grenada
Tie* Active are 61,-, and Brazilian 5 per Cents. 100.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds. 6f ; Mexicmi,
221 ;Peruvian 41 per Cents., 76i 7 ; ditto 3 per
Cents., 521 31; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 46 47 ;
Russian 5 per Cents., 108 110 ; Spanish 3 per
Cents., 42k 42k; ditto Deferred, 26 I ; ditto Cer-
tificates, 61 ; ditto Passive, 5A 6.
In the Railway Share Market a moderate busi-
ness has been reported, but in most cases a
decided downward tendency has been perceptible,
more particularly in the French and Canadiin
Caledonian, Eastern Counties, East Lan-
cashire, Great Western, North Western, and Mid-
land declared fully ss. Edinburgh, and Glasgow,
d South Eastern, 10s., and Great Northern, 15s.

In Mining Shares the dealings have been limited.
North Wheal Basset realise 16i, and Alfred Con-
Bole, 171.
For Joint-Stock Bank Shares there was a mode-
rate inquiry, and in one or two instances higher
rates were current. London Chartered of Aus-
tralia improved 10s. ; London and Westminster,
58. ; and. Ottoman Bank, ss.
The Miscellaneous undertakings ruled inactive.

THE GREAT LEANDER CLUB MATCH'. 100
The gentlethen of this ancient and distinguished rowing 100
Cub contended yesterday in a ran-dan match, and ac•
quitted themselves as might have been expected by their
antecedents. The club has ordinarily exhibited its per-
fections during the season in a scullers' contest, a pair-
Oared race, and an eight-oared spin, and yesterday they
commenced with the addition of a ran-dan race, over the
.61d-fashioned course, from Westminster to Putney. The
labour was in part excessive, owing to the height of the
Wind, but they gallantly sustained it with the following
results :--
London—Messrs. Boville, Pryor, and Willoughby 1
Westminster—Messrs.Colquhoun, Golding, and Wood 0
Eton—Messrs. Davis, Smith, and Davis
The start took place about half flood, and was very
Capitally taken by all the rowers. Mr. Colquhoun's
boat, although with the worst station, took the lead, that
gentleman rowing the pair in his usual finished style.
Mr. Pryor rowed the sculls in his boat capitally, but he
and his party were for a time, although well off in sta-
tion, much hampered by the amount of craft in their
toune, and the Messrs. Davis held way with them
excellently through Vauxhall Bridge, where Messrs.
Coiquhoun, Golding, and Wood were still leading slightly.
• Off Smith's Distillery, at the upper end of Thames-bank,
_
who was rowing the labour forward, began to
'overlap the leading boat, and a very spirited and capital
ace followed, Mr. Colquhoun's party holding them well
for some time, and reminding one of the great races of
bygone days. As they neared Chelsea College the win-
,' tent began to draw themselves clear, and increased it to
Battersea Bridge, where they were two or three lengths
ahead. The labour at Wandsworth was again very
heavy, but there was no abatement in exertion, and the
winners gained three or four more lengths before the
finish. The club then dined in their usual style at the
Star and Garter, Putney.

FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP BETWEEN THOMAS
SAYERS AND THE TIPTON SLASHER FOR 200 Soya.
ASIDE.—This peculiar match, in which Thomas Sayers,
whose outside weight is 10st. 121b5., and height 5 ft. 8
in., agaii rt the once formidable Tipton Slasher, whose
stature is six feet, despite a leg which resembles a letter
K, and whose weight is 14 stone, created, of course,
much interest in pugilistic circles. It came off yester
day, after a shift from the coast of Essex to the
Opposite shore, in Tresence of an immense concourse
of patrons of " the polite art" of boxing. The Tip-
ton, in the first round, took some little lead, but in
the subsequent ones Sayers took astonishing liberties
With his, frontispiece, in a series of artful "draws," by
which the old one was induced to fellow him, and got
terribly punished by his opponent's shots in the retreat,
41a Jem Belcher, of olden fame. The Tipton gamely,
and with more courage than judgment, carried on this
losing game, till, what with his fruitless exertions, hi-
thrown away blows,' the heat of the day, and his serious
receipts on body and head, be was utterly beaten, while
yet on his legs ' • and at the close of the eleventh round,
an hour and forty minutes having elapsed from the
commencement, Owen Swift, on the part of the Tipton
Slasher, entered the ring and threw up the sponge, de-
claring .he should fight no longer. Sayers was then
':hailed the victor, adding another to the thousand and
Ate proofs that youth will be served.
