HONE Y AND COMMERCIAL
ENVEENIWNG.S

The settlement in the Consol market has left the
prices at 994- for money, and 99- f for the 29th
August. The heavy investments remained as in the
morning, the Old Three-and-a-Half per Cents. being
marked 1021. South Sea Stock was at 1141, being
scarcely so high as last week.
The Foreign market offered no feature beyond what
we reported in the morning. Spanish Actives were 23i-to
and the Three per Cents. 33k. Colombian brought
13i to 14.
h e additional transactions have been these:—Bir-
mingham and Derby were 31; Chester and Holyhead, i;
Lancaster and Carlisle, ; righton, 2* ; and Midland
ex-dividend 1 discount. Great North of England have

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,500

Much conversation has taken place in political and com-
mercial circles this morning at the sorry figure the Ministers
cut last, night in the House of Commons, on the clause brought
forward by Mr. Burroughes, in Committee on the Poor-law
Bill. Staid men in the city, Whig and Tory, think that
such displays will end soon in the resignation of the Premier;
but only a limited effect has been produced upon the value of
the funds, as whoever comes in must respect the national
obligations; and as to trade, the opinion is that the move
made by Sir Robert Peel, in unfettering the commerce of the
country, will be more vigorously followed up by his political
opponents, should the mantle of office fall upon the leaders of
that party.
There is not a single colonial arrival of a late date this
morning.
The arrangement of the Consol Account is now in pro-
gress, and stock seems very scarce, having been called yes-
terday, just before the close of business, at 99k. Money
being easy, however, obviates any difficulty that might
otherwise be experienced by the Bears. Consols are now
marked 99i to A for immediate transfer, and 99i to j for the
August Account. The Unfunded Debt is supported at 77s
to 79s premium. Bank Stock has realised 199 A ; and East
India Stock 285 A. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents.
are 1011 to 102; the Reduced 1024 to ; and the Three
per Cents. 100 k to East India Bonds are 98 premium.
The Commissioners have taken 20,0001. Consols, at 99i.
The Foreign Investments have been comparatively quiet,
but Spanish Bonds again look firm, and are higher, the Five
per Cents. being 23A and the Three per Cents. 33 ;
Portuguese Converted are dull at 45i to A ; Mexican firmer at
36 to h; Colombian have risen to 13a and Brazilian to
83!. The Dutch Two-and-a• Half per Cents. at 614 to 62—a
further slight advance.
The Railway Shares generally rule somewhat higher, and
although not in brisk demand, there is a fair business doing.

Some sheep have been poisoned in Westmoreland
by eating in a pasture of the Arum maculatum, commonly
called cuckoo pint, or wake robin. This Arum is an acrid
poisonous plant, and will have its venom much concentrated
in such a season as this.—Newcastle Adfortifer.

STATUE OF THE LATE DUKE OF
SUSSEX.

Mr. Hodges Baily, R.A., has just finished his admi-
' rable model of the statue of his Royal Highness the late
Duke of Sussex. When completed in marble this
statue, we understand, is to be placed in the
large room at Freemasons'-hall. The figure of
the Duke is of colossal size, and he is repre-

sented standing upright in the act of addressing an
assembly. The robes in which he is apparrelled are
those of a Knight of the Garter, and he wears besides
the insignia of the Guelphic order. His attitude is easy
and natural, and by no meaiss wanting in dignity, and
the likeness will be at once recognised by all who have
seen the original. The work is one of the most ably
executed that this celebrated artist has yet produced.
