ZONEY MARKET AND

CITY NEW&

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
There has been very little inquiry for money to-
day, and the rates have shown rather a downward
tendency.
About £55,000 in bar gold and foreign coin was
taken into the Bank of England yesterday.
The Alhambra has arrived prom Lisbon with
£1,668 in specie.
In the foreign exchanges, yesterday afternoon, a
further slight upward tendency was generally ap-
parent.
The specie movement during the week has been
of a less important character, the imports having
Only reached £122,000, while the exports have
amounted to about £644,000.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a
quiet demand was experienced, and 8,000 bales
Were sold, principally to the trade, at about former
prices.

There is very little alteration to notice in the
market for Public Securities, Consols being 891 I
for money, and 90 y for the account. Speculation
Is very dull, but there is still a disposition to effect
sales rather than purchases, owing to the un-
favourable position of affairs in America.
The New 3 per Cents. and the Reduced Annuities
have remained very dull, the former being dealt in
at 89 to 89k, and the latter at 898 to 891. The 5
per• Cent. Indian Loan realised 981 ; and India
Debentures, 95:; March Exchequer Bills were
steady at 7s. dis., and the June ditto were flat at
par. to ls. discount.

As usual, on Saturdays, the dealings in the
Foreign:Stock Market have not been very extensive.
Portuguese 3 per Cents., however, declined to 47 ;
Russian 4 per Cents, brought 94 911 ; and Dutch
4 per Cents., 991. Turkish Bonds, however, were
eat; the Old 6 per Cents. having receded to 71
and 711; andithe Loan of 1858 to 551, being about
.1 per cent. lower.

The transactions in the Railway Share Market
have been of a very limited character, and there
has been no change of importance in prices. Great
ATortherns, Eastern Counties, Midlands, and North
British have declined 55., and Edinburgh and Glas-
gow and Great Westerns have improved ss.
In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings the
operations have also been of a restricted character.
Great Luxembourg and Sambre and Meuse brought
former rates ; Great Western of Canada have
declined 55., East Indian 10s., and Great Indian
Peninsula have improved 10s.
Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous shares have
shown no material alteration in values. Bank of
Australasia brought 61 ; London and Westminster,
671 671 ; Australian Agricultural, 311 ; and Red
Bea Telegraph, 171 171.

MAIN DRAINAGE WORKS AND THE INTER-

FERENCE WITH PRIVATE PROPERTY.
letter was received from Mr. W. F. Farmer,
ildhurst-villas, Peckham, requesting that the
hsouthern high level sewer works might be executed
rough his garden in tunnel. He stated that he
ad Purchased the property and had devoted a great
ral of time and money to laying out his garden,
Which were some most valuable trees, but if this
ewer was to pass through it by an open cutting, it
,_
"ald. be entirely destroyed.
~frle ENGINEER said an inspection had taken place
the Property ; but, having regard to the progress
the works, he was not prepared to recommend
that this work should be done in tunnel, as it
'Would lead to considerable delay. All that he could
recommend was, that, as there were some lemon-
eel, the sewer passing under them should be done
j'
11 tunnel, so that they might be preserved. There
seas great deal of other property of a similar de-
aeri'ntion along the line of sewer.
Mr, PEW said he thought the board ought to
listen to the request of this gentleman, who had
devoted a great deal of time in laying out his
garden, and if it was much interfered with it
!tilf,Pht entail some very serious charges on. the
board as compensation for the injury sustained.
The ENGINEER said the contractor would be bound
to reinstate the garden, but of course that could not
be done in the present year.
Mr. ROBINSON asked the engineer how long Mr.
Farmer had received notice that the sewer would
Pass through his property.
The ENGINEER said not more than two or three
laionths. _ - -

Mr, ROBINSON said they had a desire to benefit
Individuals as far as lay in their power, but they
_ndat higher duty to the public. To accede to the re-
es of this gentleman would lead to delay, which
'4(O, been made a subject of reproach to the board,
sptheY were bound to proceed with all possible
eed,
.FREEMAN remarked that in many cases they
sod destroyed that which was a living to poor per-
", and therefore they ought not to listen to a
ie°l,l)iPlaint of this nature, where the property inter-
Nvhe.d with was a gentleman's pleasure-garden,as
eh could be restored, and if any damage w
-4e
umpensation would be fully made him.
toe CARPMAEL said it was the duty of the board
itit4l.lT out these works, and not study individual
the-rests. They had a serious duty to perfom, and
for ."ald not be justified in postponing these
ks.
of

ti • Tx IFFANGER wanted to know the difference
opeiirne it would take to do the work in tunnel over
th
Cu

1,4 v.
to d ,eINGINEER said it would take twice as long
trmi- -le work, but he had not taken into consid-
to li-°4 the question of expense. If the board were
Aerates to this application, there were many other
wouftirls who were in a similar condition who
to se,'; come forward, and of course that would lead
iketh.ll°4B delay in their works, which, taken to-
the-„: materially interfere with the time
'fh-„eotnpletion of the contract.
l''Qotlie "AIRMAN then put the question, and the
lar,:fiendation of the engineer was agreed to by
Tiae majority.r

osed other business of a routine nature was then
