HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND.—We are
requested to correct a misstatement which appeared
in our paper of Thursday, in reference to her Ma-
jesty's return from Scotland on board the General
Steam Navigation Company's superb vessel the Tri-
dent, and the non-reward of the people on board on
that occasion. It was erroneously stated that no
presents were distributed, and the omission was im-
puted to the forgetfulness of her Majesty's purse-
bearer—a circumstance altogether unsual. W ith regard
to the stewardess in attendance on her Majesty, we
understand that the Managing Director of the General
Steam Navigation Company was requested by her
Majesty, with her usual consideration, to remunerate
her for her services and attention in the most hand-
some manner; and we are glad to learn that the
Royal pleasure in that respect has been properly
attended to.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO TIJREE. •
Consols continue firm at the prices of Saturday,
but the market continues in the most inactive state,
scarcely a transaction having been entered into up to
the present hour; they are 93/ for Money and for
the Account; New Three-and-a-Half per Cents.,
101/. A further advance has taken place in the pre-
mium on Exchequer Bills, those at the interest of 2/d.
per diem being 53 55, and those at 2d., 52, 54.
Foreign Securities participate in the dulness of the
Home Funds, and the Dutch Five per Cents. alone
have changed hands to-day, and have improved ,from
100* to 1001.
The quotation for Mexican Bonds is a shade better
than on Saturday, a sale for money having been
effected at 324.
But little has been done in Shares, and without va-
riation in prices. Brighton, 36/ 36*; the Loan
Notes, .10* ; South Eastern Scrip, 12 12/ ; Eastern
enunties 8i ; the New Shares, 101 ; North Midland,
571 ; Thirds, 184 ; and Birmingham and Glouces-
ter, 41
Several time bargains have been made in the bonds,
which are thus quoted :—Colombian, 20k,; Portu-
guese Five per Cents., 37/ ; the Three per Cents., 22;
Spanish Five per Cents., 16; and Three per Cents., 20i.
The determination of the Directors of the Bank of
Manchester to bring this concern to a conclusion,
which has so pre-eminently occupied public attention,
has given much satisfaction. The loss sustained from
over advances will not, it is estimated, be much below
900,000/. • and a list of bad debts has been published,
at the head of which is one sum of 170,0001., the
second 120,0001., and going gradually down to 12,0001.;
all below this last being considered as too trivial for
special notice. In addition to these, the liabilities have
been greatly increased by the conduct of the manag-
ing Director, endorsing bills to an unknown
amount, and applying the sums obtained upon the
credit 'of the bank to his own use. Besides, they
have a large claim upon a private establishment in
Wales, over which much uncertainty exists, so that all
these being combined, it may be doubted if the total
capital sunk will be far below a million sterling.
