MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The English hlarket is completely inanimate to-day, and
without business; prices, in consequence, are not quite so good
Ls they left off 13.4 evening, Consols being 911 911 for the
opening ex dividend; Three per Cents. Reduced, 91.1 91/ ;
Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Reduced, 1001 1001. India
Bonds, 22 24 ; Exchequer Bills, 48 50 prem.
Nothing has been done in Foreign Securities:
The speculators in Mexican are much disappointed that the
Dee has brought no information from that country ; quotations
remain nearly as yesterday, be:ng 3b-.
Business in the Shares has been very limited, and confined
to Great Western, 89/ ; the New Shares, 621; Eastern Coun-
ties, 91; Edinbureland Glasgow, 511; Brighton. 35g.
A " rig" is now going forward in Spanish, and the fluctua-
tions to-day have been from 231 to 241, and since declined to
231. When it is remembered that no money for the next divi-
dend is yet provided, and that the Minister, according to the last
advices, had announced his willingness to borrow it in small
sums, the Ilse will be seen to be merely a speculation without a
legitimate cause.
The usual return of the weekly average circulation of the
kingdom for the four weeks ending the 28th ult. shows a falling
off of 483,1221. in comparison wit!. the a.s ount of the 30th of
April, which is composed of these items :—That of the Bank of
England is less by 513,0001., the difference between 17,891,000/.
and 18,404,000/. ; the English Private Banks by 116.535/.,
the difference between 5,365,6541. and 5,482,1891. ; and the
Joint Seek Banks by 59,3641., the difference between
3,101,5401. and 3,160,9001. ; forming a total decrease in Eng-
laed of (1:0,e95/., the difference between 26,358,1941. and
27,047,09/. The circulation of Ireland is contracted by
154,8951., the:differenee between 5,057,05f1. and 5,211,947/.,
of which the Bank of Ireland is less by 6,725/, the dif li
-
ference between 3,093,9001. and 3,100.625/., and the Pri-
vate and. Joint Stock Banks by 148,170!., the difference
between 1,963,1521. and 2,111,322/. The private and
Joint Stock Banks in Scotland have enlarged their
is,nes by 360,6681., the difference between 2 931,383/.
and 2,591,715/. The total circulation of the three kingdoms
is Low 34,666,629/. against 35,849,751/. on April 30. The
bullion in the Bank of England appears to be rapidly accumu-
liting, being now 7,383,0001., an increase of 301,000/. above
the last return, or 3,163,000/. above the lowest point in Nov.
1841. This decrease in the circulation, although indicative of
an absence of demand for industrial purposes, is not so discou-
raging as would be supposed at first. The Bank of England,
at the commencement of April, to relieve a pressure on the
market which then existed, increased their i,sue by nearly
1,750,000/. above what it had been in the former month, and are
now gradually returning to their usual average. The increase
in Scotland, air& a gratifying proof that a revival of trade
there is going en ; and the cirenlatier, which, during some
months past, had been narrowed from 3.383,006/. t 5 2,599.7151.,
is now again being expanded. The stock of bullion is also sa-
tisfactory ; and vt hich, coupled with the present state of the
foreign exchanges, would show, that if in the next two or three
months any demand for it should arise on the Continent, it will
be met, without to any g: eat degree distressing the market.
The few letters received by the Dee, add nothing to the in-
telligence in another column.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

CHRONICLE.—The receipt of gold coin below the legal
weight in sums over• 501. by the Bank of England at the Mint
price of 3/. 17s. 101/(1. per ounce, does not remove the com-
plaints of the public. Private individuals will not be able to
take advantage of the notice, except by clubbing their gold,
and transmitting it by one party, so as to make up the required
amount. If this be done, those who send their gold to the
Bank will be paid for light sovereigns at the Mint price, but
they will be sufferers for the deficiency of weight. A very
large proportion of the gold in circulation is below the legal
weight, and thus a most severe loss will be suffered by the
community by the depreciation in the coinage over which they
had no control. It was the duty of the Government to have
called in the gold before it was so reduced by abrasion as to I,e
generally below the legal weight, and it is on the Crown, and
not on individuals, that the loss should fall. The injustice in-
flicted on the country by throwing the loss for deficiency of
weight on individuals is so glaring, that we cannot doubt it will
be made the subject of Parliamentary inquiry. Every one
must see that the silver coinage, especially sixpencies, is much
deteriorated, and that a new issue is requisite ; but here, again,
the old coin will be allowed to circulate until the sixpences
and shillings are worn down smooth, and all marks of her
Majesty's countenance obliterated; then we !hall have a fresh
blundering arbitrary proclamation, and individuals will be again
saddled with the loss incurred by Government neglect. These
are fitting accompaniments for a Tory Government to adopt as
suitable introductii ns to the iniquities of their Income-tax.
SUN.—'l he English Market was exceedingly firm during
yesterday, end prices, towards the latter pelt, further im-
proved ; Consols leaving off at 91h for the opening ex-divi-
dend ; Reduced, 91i 92 ; Bank Stock, 167 168 ; Exchequer
Bills, 48 50 prem.
The prices for Foreign Securies were—Belgian, 102 1l3;
Dutch Two.and-a-Half per Cents., 521 ; the Five per
Cents., 101 1011; Danish, 801 81i ; Brazilian, 661 671.
Mexican was quoted at 36i 361.
In the Share Market, London and Birmingham were 177
179 ; Ilirmingbam and Gloucester, 50 52; Great Western,
881 691, the Half Shares, 62 621 ; South Western, 621 63 ;
North Midland, 65 67, the new Shares, 32 33 ; South Eastern
and Dover, 26 26*, the Scrip, 6* 61 ; Northern and Eastern,
411 42/ ; Blscke all, 101 A II ; Eastern Counties, 9 91A ; and
Brighton, 351
The Foreign Exchanges were generally higher—Amsterdam,
12.5 12.514 ; Rotterdam, 12.5%; Antwerp, 12.41 1`2.5;
Hambargh, 13.111 13.121; - Frankfort. 1511 151 h ; Paris,
2.5 f. 75c. 25f. t.,oe ; Vienna, 9.531,2 9.54141 ; Trieste, 9.55
9.56 ; Madrid, 36136 k ; Cadiz, 361 361; Lisbon, 53.
The quotations of the ponds were, Colombian, 26 261 ;
Peruvian, 181.19%.; Portuguese Fin per Cents, 371 38 ; the
Three per Cents., 22 •22%; Spanish Five per Cents, 22% 221;
and the Three per Cents., 231/4 23%.
Money has continued plentiful, and has been worth 3%
per cent. `
Accounts from Hamburgh, mention the failure of a large
house there. This circumstance, the more unfortunate as oc-
curring immediately after the late fire, is simply owing to the
late stoppage at Leipzic.

ST. KATHERINE'S DocKs.—%Ve are authorised to
contradict a parigraph ch appeared in some of the daily
papers, inserted at the desire of a "correspondent," calling the
attention of the public to the loss of life by policemen
in the St. Katherine's Docks, from an al.eged want of
ropes, or some other protection of the kind, around the edge
of the docks. It apnea's that ropes fixed in iron stancheons,
are placed all around the quays, and that no instance has oc-
curred of • a policeman hav'ng fallen into the water in
these docks.

FRENCH PLAYS.—Bouffe made his third appearance
last night in two of his most applauded characters. In the one-
act vaudeville, Pauvre Acques, he pourtrayed excellently the
old decayed musician, with his love for his piano, which an in-
exorable landlord endeavours to tear from him. He next trans-
formed himself into Joseph, the scamp or gamin of Paris, an
unruly rogue ot fifteen, full of mischief. The plaudits he re-
ceived were vehement and frequent.
M. ADOLPH IVIARSCHAN'S MATINEE MUSICALE.—
This distinguished Prussian composer gave his concert yester-
day afternoon at Willis's rooms, when most ot his own produc-
tions were executed by the band of her Majesty's Ist Regiment of
Life Guards. Weber's Oberon commenced the concert. After-
wards Mademoiselle Bertucat performed some rapid and diffi-
cult passages, surprising in so young a player. Herr Gustav
Brandt, a singer of much promise, sang two German songs with
much taste. The rooms were full and fashionably attended.
A fire broke out at Warsaw on the 23d ult. which
excited great alarm. The Governor himself repaired to the
spot, and the flames were not extinguished before. 16:houses (of
wood) were consumed, and considerable damage done.
