FIRE TN SOUTHWARK.—Last night, about eight
o'clock, a fire of a very alarming character. and atte-A,
with great destruction of property, broke out on the !pre-
mises belonging to Messrs. Mayor and Co., well knows L on
the Surrey side of the river as the Southwark Blackh
mills, situate in Love-lane, Great Guildford-street, Sot Ith-
wark. The premises in question occupied a large span e of
ground, on which were erected sundry buildings,)
sifting-houses, store-rooms, and other structures, the -prinr
.-
cipal part being coraposed chiefly of -timber. A pletitbeing
supply of wate;havin 0. been procured, the firemen went to
work, but, in spite of .their exertions, they were unable to
get the mastery over the flames until both stores were
nearly destroyed. Thie origin of the misfortune is 'un-
known. The sufferer are insured in the Manchester Xirs-
dace.

MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'Cr

The Money Market remains without much
variation, but the increased demand is fairly
maintained, and the quotations still exhibit firm-
ness. Notwithstanding these features, however,
there is more probability of a decline in the Bank
minimum than an advance, owing to the accumu-
lation of bullion and the gradual diminution lately
noticed in the item of " other securities." Until
after the payment of the dividends, however, an
alteration is hardly anticipated, but if the release of
the half-year's interest should create, as predicted,
additional easiness, a further relaxation may be
considered advisable, although it is scarcely
supposed that the minimum would remain for any
lengthened period at so low a point as 21 per
cent. It is too early in the history of the campaign
to form a reliable opinion with regard to the period
when hostilities are likely to terminate, but there
can be no doubt that such a result would give a
stimulus to various kinds of business, and also to
the extension of joint-stock enterprise which
would speedily augment the inquiry for discount
accommodation. The liquidation of the half-
monthly account in foreign stocks and railway
shares is in progress, but speculation being dull,
and money plentiful, the rates of " continuation"
are exceedingly moderate.
The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon
exhibited a slight advance in the rates on Paris
and Hamburg. On Amsterdam, however, the quo-
tation was rather lower.

About £30,000, principally Australian gold, was
sent into the Bank of England yesterday. The
gold by the America, viz., £90,000, has been taken
for the Continent.

The Tyne, from the Brazils, has arrived at Lis-
bon, on her voyoge to this country. She has £2,325
in specie on board.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a
moderate business was transacted, 6,000 bales hav-
ing been sold at previous rates. The Railway
Share Market closed with a rather dull appearance,
and prices tended downwards.
At the annual meeting of the South Australian
Company, to-day—Mr. Divett, in the chair
—the report was read, showing a net profit on the
year's operations of £27,237 Bs. 5d., and recom-
mending a dividend at the rate of 7 per cent. per
annum, or 355. per share. The trade of the colony
was improving, and the population had now in-
creased to 120,000. There was some discussion,
after which the report was adopted, and a vote of
thanks was passed to the directors of the company.
In the market for Public Securities to-day, the
amount of business transacted has not been exten-
sive, as the attention of the members has been
chiefly directed to the settlement of the account in
Foreign Stocks and Railway Shares. The Funds,
however, have continued firm, tho variation
not having exceeded 1. per cent. Consols have
been 921 2- all the morning, and they remain steady
at these quotations. The New Three per Cents.
and the Reduced have improved to 93 and 931 ;
India Loan Debentures are flat at 941, and ditto
Bonds, at 10s. to ss. dis. Exchequer Bills are
steady at 225. to 255. prem. ; and Long Annuities
are 17 11-16.

In the Foreign Stock Market the transactions
have been very limited, and prices are rather
firmer. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 741 to 753 ;
ditto New, 60 to 62 ; and the 4 per Cents. are liat
at 1031 ; Mexican has advanced to 18,-1,-; Spanish
3 per Cents. to 421 ; and ditto Certificates, to 3! 4.
The arrangements for the liquidation of the past
monthly account are now in progress in the Rail-
way Share Market, and prices generally are well
maintained—the: variation compared with yester-
day not having exceeded ±to 3 per cent. Edin-
burgh, Perth, and Dundee, and North British, have
improved 55., and North Eastern, Leeds, and Ox-
ford, Worcester and Wolverhampton, 10s. ; Great
Western, North Western, and Midland, have de-
clined ss. ; and Lancashire and Yorkshire 10s.
Eastern Counties and South-Eastern have realised
about former rates.

The Foreign and Colonial lines are very inactive.
Lombardo-Venetian old shares have improved to
7 and 71, and the new shares to 61. Great Indian
Peninsula improved to 971 ; Grand Trunk of Canada
to 34 341.

Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are
very inactive and at slightly reduced rates. Bank
of Australasia have declined £1 ; Canada Land,
10s.; and Electric Telegraph improved £l.
