ONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS,

CITY, Two o'CLocx.
There is an active demand for discount accommo-
dation, but it is readily supplied by the banks and
discount firms who have ample means at their
disposal, and the arrangements for to-morrow, the
4th of the month, are not attended by the slightest
degree of pressure or stringency. In many instances
Provision has been made for some days past, and the
aPPlicatiens at the last moment are proportionately
reduced, but there is still a large supply of bills
Which are negotiated on terms ranging from 6i per
Cent. and upwards, according to quality and the
Period they have to run.
large amount of Australian gold—viz., about
Cl4o,ooo—was sent into the Bank of England
Yesterday. •
The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon ex-
hibited a slight decline in the rates on Paris and
Hamburg; those on Vienna and Trieste, however,
Were rather higher.
Gold is now about 6 -10ths per cent. dearer in
4ondou than in Paris, and 8 -10ths per cent. higher
than in Hamburg.
The Oneida has arrived at Lisbon from the
Brazils, with £24,636 in specie.
The steamer Ceylon, which leaves to-morrow for
India, China, &c., will take out £77,167 in silver
and £14,449 in gold.
Increased dullness was exhibited in the Liver-
Pool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices tended
IlWnwards. The sales were about 5,000 bales.
The advices from the manufacturing districts re-
Port continued inactivity in most departments of
trade, and a recovery is scarcely anticipated until
14°11ey becomes easier, and an improvement is exhi-
bited in foreign politics.

At the annual meeting of the governor and cora-
Dany of copper miners in England, the balance-
aheet presented showed a balance against the cora-
Pally of £1,490 15s. 9d. Some discussion ensued,
40.1 n which it appears that great hopes are enter-
ttned that at a future period the undertaking will
leas,
remunerative, although now working at a
eas, in consequence of the depressed price of metals.
Decreased depression has prevailed in the
market for Public Securities to-day, Consols having
.receded to 911 -1- for money, to 91-1 for the 18th
1110., and to 911 41 for May. The principle cause
cfthis decline is the apprehension felt with regard
t° continental affairs, especially in reference to
Austria and Italy. The speculators have been
encouraged to effect sales on this account, notwith-
Lettuding the influx of gold into the Bank of Eng-
'end, and the improved prospects of the money
market. India Stock has receded to 220, ditto 5
per Cent. to 990 100; ditto 51 per Cent. Rupee
raper has improved to 100 t, but Exchequer Bills
are 12s. to 7s. dis.

Business in the Foreign Market has been mode-
l'itely active, but prices show a downward tendency.
Turkish 6 per Cents. are 734 to 74 ; ditto, 1858,
631 54. Mexican have receded to 24k 1 ; Sardinian
to 82, and Spanish to ; Dutch 21 per Cent. are
S=tn at 631 64, Brazilian 5 per Cents. have declined
to 981 ex div.

Considerable heaviness has prevailed in the Rail-
ly Share Market, and a further decline of about
to per cent. has taken place in the value of
4108 t of the principal British undertakings. Cale-
donians, Great Westerns, Lancashire and York-
shire, North Westerns, Midlands, and South
Attaterns have receded 55.; North British, 10s.;
4ticl North Eastern Berwick, 15s.

In the Foreign Market scarcely any business has
°len transacted, and prices are nominally a shade
fitter.

Lirhe Colonial Lines are also depressed, East
4:dian having declined to 981 99, and Great Indian
eninsula to 941 95.
For Joint Stock Banks and Miscellaneous shares
there have been a moderate inquiry, and quotations
have slightly improved, London and Westminster
,ng dealt in at 651 ; Oriental Bank at 481 49 ;
'Jnon of London, however, have declined to 231;
2lnada Land steady at 114 to 1141; and London
veueral Omnibus Company at 1.

011(1 the short exchange on London is 25.374 per. £1 sterling.
elanlParing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
10331;14(1. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is

k‘4 the short exchange on London Is 13.7 per £1 sterling.

'l6 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.
