MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS,
CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.
Some extensive purchases, and one of them by the
Government Broker, have counteracted the unfavour-
able feeling which was visible in the morning, and
caused the funds to advance, Consols leaving off at 93
93i for Money and for the Account ; India Stock,
250 251 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 54 56 ; New, 53 55
premium.

The prices of Foreign Securities were—Belgian,
103 104 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., .52+
521; the Five per Cents., 100 1001; Danish, 83 85 ;
and Brazilian, 63 64.
The quotation for Mexican remained at 321 331,
without any transaction of interest.
Some parties who had been speculating in Brigh-
ton Railway Shares made exertions in the early part
of the day to lower prices, but the object of " bang-
ing" the market being seen through, they recovered,
and left off at 35+ 36k per share, or rather above
what they were yesterday. These operations were
the chief attraction, the others remaining nearly sta-
tionary. London and Birmingham, 183 185 ; Bir-
mingham and Gloucester, 40 41; Great Western, 82
83 ; the Half-shares, 591 60+; south Western, 57
58 ; North Midland, 57 58 ; the New shares, 28 29 ;
South Eastern and Dover, 23 231 ; Eastern Conn.-
ties, 88 813-; Northern and Eastern, 351 361 ; Black-
wall, 6+ 61 per share.
The rates of Exchange were again more favourable
for this country ; Amsterdam, 12 6+, 12 61 ; Rotter-
dam, 12 61, 12 7 ; Antwerp, 12 4/, 12 5 ; Ham-
burgh, 13 1 11, 13 121 ; Frankfort, 151+ 1511 ; Paris,
25f. 85c., 25f. 90c. ; Genoa, 25 95, 26 ; Marseilles,
25 90 ; Leghorn, 30 40, 30 45 ; Vienna, 9 56, 9 57 ;
Madrid, 361 ; and Lisbon, 52k, all at three months.
At the meeting of the creditors of Portugal to-
day, the conversion scheme of that Government was
acquiesced in, although two-thirds of the bond-
holders have hitherto stood out, and with some
show of reason for so doing. It was difficult
to gather from the arguments used in fa-
vour of this course, the exact reason for such
a proceeding, beyond that for introducing a new de-
scription of bonds into the market wherewith to spe-
culate, it not being expected for an instant that any
greater chance for obtaining a dividend exists now
than there was two years since. The cause of the
late rise may be found in the fact that when the ac-
ceptance of the terms became known, the Five per
Cents. fell to 361 371, and the Three per Cents. to
211 22+. The other quotations were—Colombian, Mr
21 ; Peruvian, 16 17 ; Spanish Five per Cents., 15-1
16k; and the Three per Cents., 204 20+.
The accounts of the prospect of the failure
of the Indigo' crop rendered the importers ex-
tremely sanguine in their expectations at the sale
which commenced this day. Of the 1,846 chests,
which were got through, only 394 were sold at from
4d. to ls. (an average of Bd.) above the prices of last
sale, the remainder being bought in Is. to is. 6d.
above those rates. The attendance both of home
buyers and shippers was extremely good, and each
appeared anxious to purchase, but neither seemed in-
clined to give more than about 6d. advance.
The attempt to hush up the late fraud in the Tea
trade is beginning to excite some attention, the more
when the names of officers are publicly mentioned in
connexion with circumstances which occurred years
since, while parties, hitherto of high standing, are
shielded from their participation in recent transactions.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The account of the revenue exhibiting a decrease
on the quarter, instead of an increase, has rendered
the market exceedingly heavy. The dividends upon
the Stocks, which have been closed, having been de-
clared to be payable to the public on the 13th, seve
ral purchases have been made for re-investment ; and in
anticipation of a further decline in the rate of money,
the premium on Exchequer hills, has again advanced,
the Old being 54 56 ; the New, 53 .55; Consols are
92+ for Money, and 93 for the Account ; the Three
per Cents. Reduced, 928 ; Three-and-a-Half per
Cents. Reduced, 100 ; and Bank Stock, 166 167, ex
div. ; New Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 1008 lot;
Bank Stock, 250 251.

The opening of the various ihome stocks has pre-
vented extensive business in Foreign Securities ;
prices, however, are not quite so firm. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. have been sold at 528, and the
Five per Cents., 1001.
The quotation for Mexican Bonds is 33.
Great 'Western Railway Shares at 83; the Half-
shares, 60i • Brighton, 358; the Loan Notes, 108;
comprises all the transactions in this Market.

The Bonds quoted to-day are—Colombian, 20k ;
Portuguese Five per Cents., 37 371 ; Spanish Five
per Cents., 16k ; and the Three per Cents., 20'1.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, OCT. 10.—We
have had rather a downward tendency in our market
to-day.—South Eastern and Dover Scrip, 11 15-16 ;
Manchester and Birmingham, 21+ to 24 ; London
and Birmingham, Quarter Shares, 471 to 471 ; Li-
verpool and Manchester, 179 to 180 ; South Western.
574 to 58+.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stu,—As abuses are generally corrected by the aid
of the public Press, I trouble you with a few lines, to
state what occurred to a party of foreign friends on
Sunday afternoon, at Windsor.
I accompanied the Duke and Duchess de Noja,
Prince and Princess de St. Elia, and the Marquis del
Gregorio, to take a coup (foul of St. George's Chapel.
The attendant told me that when the congregation
dispersed he would let my friends in. We waited very
patiently at the chapel door, nearly an hour, and as a
bystander hinted that the attendant only wished to
deceive us (being already engaged with another party)
as I saw Mr. Jesse, whom I knew, speak to the door-
keeper as he passed. I asked Mr. Jesse if he thought
we should be allowed to enter as promised, as my
friends otherwise, who were only passing through
Windsor on their tour, would have no other opportn-
nity of seeing the chapel. Mr. Jesse assured me the
door-keeper must admit us.
When the last of the congregation had left, we ap
preached the then open door, when it was rudely
slammed in our faces and the key turned!
I leave you to judge the impression such an un-
warrantable insult must have on the minds of these
noble Sicilians, who are, in their own country, so
proverbially hospitable to strangers, but more particu-
larly so towards Englishmen. J. R.
Reform Club, Oct. 11, 1842.

ADELAIDE GALLERY.-It is with great pleasure
we observe that the promenade concerts, which have
been prepared at this very attractive place of public
resort, receive the patronage and support which they
deserve. Amongst the vocalists Mr. Martin and Mrs.
Wilson, with Mr. Laurent and other established
favourites in the instrumental department, continue
to win their usual share of favour; the overtures are
executed with skill and ability, and the singing is
well sustained. The chief attraction of Monday
evening was the appearance of the "Infant Thalia,"
a child only five years old, whose arch and pleasing
manner, in the impersonations she undertook, pleased
the crowded audience greatly. Her execution of the
comic pastoral ballad of " Where are you going, my
pretty maid?" upon a table in front of the gallery, in
which this infatatine performer was dressed as a coun-
try lass was excellent. A more delightful or instruc-
tive visit for an evening's entertainment cannot be
better made to any other institution in the metropolis.
We are authorised to contradict the statements
made in several papers in regard to the magnificent
Highland brooch worn by the Queen at Taymouth.
It was, as we formerly stated, submitted for her Ma-
jesty's insp2ction by the lion. Mrs. Maule, and pur-
chased from our active and intelligent townsman, Mr.
Macgregor, by the Queen's directuons.--Perth Paper.
