CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
Daring the last few days there has been very
little activity in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
The- advices by the Overland Mail,
i"wever, have carried a firmer tone in the tea mar-
ket,and at the public sales which commenced
today rather higher rates ars expected to be
realised. Sugars have been in moderate request.
Vithout any variation of importance in values.
Coffee has continued in fair demand, and rather
extensive transactions have taken place in rice,
Chiefly for exportation. Saltpetre has been in fair
demand at steady rates, and a moderate amount of
business has been done in tallow, chiefly, however,
for home consumption.
Business in the Liverpool Cotton Market yes
terday continued rather quiet, and prices had a
downward tendency. The sales were about 8,000
k bales.

About £84,000 in gold was sent into the Bank
°I England yesterday.
The bar silver by the Seine from the West In-
dies has been sold at ss. Old. per oz. standard,
/grog a decline of about 4d. per oz.
A. call of £2 per share, amounting to £1,500,000,
due to-morrow on the South Austrian and Lom-
bardo Venetian Railway, and of £1 per share, or
49,000 on the Dundalk and Enniskillen Cootehill
Extension Railway.
Rather less pressure is now experienced in
the money market, but 5 per cent. is still
the current rate for the best bills, and the pros-
Peet of an advance, should the efflux to
America still continue, is still attracting atten-
ti". Up to the present time, however, very
little impression has been produced upon the
Stock of bullion, for while sovereigns have been
Withdrawn for transmission to America supplies
," Australian gold have been sent into the esta-
blishment. A steady inquiry for money still pre-
'vans in the agricultural districts, and subscrip-
tions to joint-stock undertakings also contribute
to:tbe immediate demand for accommodation.
The traffic receipts of the Great Western Rail-
way of Canada for the week ending the 26th ult.
exhibited an increase of £BO3 compared with last
Year.

Continued inactivity pervades the market for
Foreign Securities, and the rate of the other de-
Partments of the Stock Exchange is very little
better, specuLtion being repressed, while the
°Perations for transfer are conducted on an
equally restricted scale. The Funds exhi-
bit very little variation, the last move-
ment nearly exceeding per cent., and when
oven a decline of s takes place a reaction speedily
follows. Yesterday a slight degree of depression
Prevailed, but the dealings recorded this morning
restored quotations to their previous level, Consols
g 914 I for transfer, and 92 to 921-
rr the account. Since then, however, renewed
heaviness has ensued, and the present prices arc
81 j, and 92 respectively. The New Threes and
the Reduced remain at 891 ;, Bank Stock has im-
Proved to 232 and 234, Indian 5 per Cent. is 1111-,

quietude prevails in the Foreign
'arket, but prices in some instances show more
4rinness. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 71 to 711 ;

have improved to 100. Mexican are flat at 22; ;
411 d Spanish Passive are 16*.
, The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
"on of a rather restricted character, and chiefly
connected with the liquidation of the half monthly
4ceount. Prices, however, have shown more firm-
Ile% in several instances. Lancashire and York-
411ire, North-Western, Midland, and South-Eastern
toe improved ss. ; Great Westerns and North-
Eastern (Berwick), 10s. ; Great Northerns and
West Midlands have adVanced ss.
In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there
has been no change of impostance. South Austrian
and Lombardo-Venetian are firm at 15/ to ; ; East

ATTEMPTED MURDER AT ISLINGTON.—It
74 expected that the girl Redkinson would have suffi-
etently recovered from the injuries she received as to admit
her examination this day at the Clerkenwell Police-
,;),/1,111 but it was thought judicious by the hospital autho-
"ee to delay the examination for another week or fort-
bight.

A The distribution of prizes to the inmates of the
84e Pellelon, at Vaujours, took place two days ago, in
'l.esenee of the Princess Clotilda. Her Imperial High-
Zees was received on her arrival by the members of the
,cleletY. After hearing a mass sung in the
•chapel by the
tigi m
!,1(1.1:011,the Princess went into the room prepared for the
oterution, where the young pupils sang a cantata and
er pieces, after which the distribution took place, her
thePerial Highness adding a special prize from herself to
.",0 awarded by the Society. The Princess afterwards
vnated the different parts of the establishment, and was
I/resent at a repast ordered by her for the children, and
then retired amidst the joyous acclamations of her young
vroteoes.
The following are more correct particulars con-
?llaing the disaster at Vicenza. On the 19th, the son of
the late Prince Charles, the Duke of Modena, and another
401 personage took out the troops encamped near that
"°4vll for musket-practice. The Tyrolese were to represent
e erorpa of Italians approaching Monte Crocetto. After
,elecnting various evolutions, the Austrians moved forward

first discharge two men fell dead and 26 were wounded.
a
immense murmur then arose from the ranks; the
Princes hastily left the spot, ordering all the battalions to
4turn to their quarters. A short time afterwards the
handed men were conveyed in carts to Vicenza. The
,114111'fight was to last three days, but it was at once given

Gil AI, REVIEW
The OF VOLUNTEERS AT YORK.—
; ltaportant matter of another volunteer review at York
already being agitated among the authorities. It is said
shat the experiment this time will be upon a much larger
w_
:eelm than that of last year, and.will be a review of the
ariteers of the north of England, instead of being con-
fined simply to the county of Yorkshire. It has been esti-
mated that, including 12,000 volunteers from Lanc shire,
1)000 riflemen and artillerymen can be conveniently de-
taken in York , and taken to their respective homes in one

p PAIIP ERISM • —The number of p Inners in receipt
of r.,_elief in England gradually decreased after the cessation
e cold weather in January, until the last week of
Marchyear
(the latest return) the increase over the previous
"ear had fallen to about 2 per cent., and in three districts
(in the south-western, in the south-eastern, and in Cheshire
and Lancashire) it had disappeared. In the extreme north
and in the south midland counties the numbers relieved
had fallen to nearly the same as last year. The less fa-
(:,tirable returns were from north midland and west mid-
:a" counties and the metropolis, in which the increase of
thruYerissa above last year was by far the most marked
_,_:eughout the first quarter of the present year. At the
of March the increase was still 10 per cent. in the north
