THURSDAY EVENING.
The Money Market closed quite as firmly as it was
during the first part of the day, Consols being 92i
for Money, and 93 for the Account. India Stock,
249 251 ; Exchequer Bills Old, 51 53 ; New, 49 51
premium.

- The prices of Foreign Securities were—Belgian,
102 103; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 514 52;
the Five per Cents., 102 1023 ; Danish, 83 84 ; and
Brazilian, 67 68.
The application of the excess of funds over the
amount necessary for the dividends still affords a
source of conversation to the would-be buyers of
Mexican Bonds. The real holders, however, appear to
be perfectly satisfied to receive the dividend upon the
debentures created out of the coupons in arrear, and
to wait until the agents are duly authorised to pay
off the principal. The circumstance of a parcel of
this stock being brought to market, was made use of
to depress the the quotation to an extent far below
what the amount would legitimately have warranted;
and could the representatives of the Mexican Go-
vernment.be induced to exceed their instructions, and
redeem a part of the new obligations, an advance
would of course take place proportionably advan-
tageous to those who had brought it about, but to
the loss of the original sufferers. The quotation re-
mained at 35 354.
The improvement in Brighton Railway Shares
was continued, and London and Birmingham ad-
vanced to 182 184; Birmingham and Gloucester, 40
42; Great Western, 82 83 ; the Half Shares, 593
60}; South Western, 574. 583; North Midland, 56 58;
the New Shares, 271 28k; South Eastern 21/ 22 ;
Eastern Counties, 83 874 ; Northern and Eastern,
36 38; Blackwall, 64 74; and Brighton, 331 33i per
share.

The quotations of the Bonds were—Colombian, 20k
21 ; Peruvian, 15 16 ; Portuguese Five per Cents.,
351 35 ; the Three per Cents., 21 21i ; Spanish
Five per Cents., 16+ 16i ; the Three per Cents.,
21/ 211.

A
A party who arrived this afternoon from a periodi-
cal visit to the manufacturing districts, gives a favour-
able account of their condition. At Leeds and Hud-
dersfield, business was extremely brisk, and at the
latter town there were many more orders than could
be executed for some time to come. They were nearly
equally divided between a demand for the home trade
and for exportation. The season of the year would,
to a certain extent, account for the former, but those
for shipment are generally attributed to a decided
improvement. The workmen in Lancashire had for
the most part returned, or were anxious to return, to
their work, except at Ashton • little apprehension was,
however, entertained but that matters would be
speedily arranged there.

- It does not often occur that proceedings at police-
offices greatly attract the attention of mercantile men,
but the late forgery at the Money Order Office has
created some sensation. It is universally allowed that
were this department of the Post-office placed upon a
proper footing, and which any merchant's clerk with
twelve months' experience of business would be able
to do, the arrangement would prove of great
utility, and that, as it is at present constituted,
it is a great nuisance in all its details to those who
may have to transact business with it. The simple
fact of filo forgery, which in itself argued great re-
missness, was commented upon pretty freely, and
would have been before noticed had it not been pro-
bable that the case might thereby have been pre-
judged. But the defence successfully set up, as re-
ported in the Second Edition of The Sun to-day, has
caused much indignation. Not only was it proved
that the delinquent was mad, but that such being the
case was notoriously known to each individual in the
office. It is said that some parties are much to be
blamed for keeping a young man in such a condition
in so responsible a situation, and that the whole of
the system requires a thorough revision, if it be in-
tended to produce a benefit to the public commensu-
rate to the charges made.
The Cambridge packet-ship has brought intelli-

gence from New. York a few hours later than that by
the steamer, but no new facts.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)

But little business has been going forward during
the morning, but the markets generally exhibit an
improvement. Consols are 92-4 buyers for Money,
and 93 93* for the Account; New Three-and-a-Half
per Cents., 1014; Exchequer Bills, Old, 49 51; New,
51 53 prem.
Transactions in Foreign Securities continue to be
chiefly in Brazilian and Dutch ; the prices of the latter
are still flat; the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 51k, and
the Five per Cents. 102+ 1024. Those of the former
are also not quite so good, being 67i 674. The quota-
tion for Mexican Bonds is rather firmer, being 35.
The principal feature in the Share Marketf (which
is good), is an advance in the price of Brighton Rail-
way Shares, in consequence of the increased receipts,
which in the week just terminated have reached
4,4991. Gs. 11d., and they are in demand at 331.
London and Birmingham have been sold at 183 ;
South Eastern, 22 ; Eastern Counties, 81; the New
Shares, 71. 19s. 2d. ; and Debentures, 101. 6s. 8d ;
Midland, Counties Quarters, 18i.
Some speculative time-bargains have been made in
the various bonds. Colombian 20; Portuguese Five
per Cents., 351 354 ; the Three Cents., 24 ; Spanish
Five per Cents., 161 ; and the Three per Cents., 21/.
From the great irregularity which has occurred of
late in the communication with the West Indies and
South America, the report of the West India Mail Steam
Packet Company has been read with interest. It is
generally considered that, however unfortunate the
result has been, the Directors have done their duty to
the public, in carrying out the arrangements, though
at a loss, and the new "combination" to the dompany
is thought to be likely to bring about at least a certainty
in receipt of correspondence. The defect in the old,
plan of attempting too much, which had been fre-
quently pointed out, is admitted iri the report, and by
the proposed route will apparently be removed, inas-
much as the distance of 684,816 miles in the year is
to be reduced to 392,976 miles, with every prospect of
success.

THE GENERAL STEAMN---7—AVIGAT-1-01; COMPANY.—
Mr. Hamilton received on Monday a notification from
the Secretary of the General Steam Navigation Com-
pany, Lombard-street, London, to the following effect :
" Her Majesty and Prince Albert, in the Trident, ar-
rived here, and disembarked at Woolwich this morn-
ing (Saturday) at a quarter past ten o'clock. Both
the Queen and the Prince appeared in excellent health
and spirits; and Lord Haddington, First Lord of
the Admiralty, assured the Directoof the Company,
who were in attendance upon her Majesty, that her
Majesty was highly pleased with the ship, and
with the accommodation afforded on the voyage."
We understand the Trident would have reached
Woolwich several hours sooner, but that her
speed had to be regulated by that of the Royal
squadron.—lt is a curious circumstance that the only
dispatch from the Royal fleet the night before his
Majesty George IV. came up the Firth, was received
by Mr. R. W. Hamilton, of. the General Steam Na-
vigation Company, which that gentleman immediately
transmitted to the Admiral on the station, Sir John
Beresford. The Admiral, in the absence of his Se-
cretary, it being late at night, requested Mr. Hamil-
ton to officiate, who accordingly wrote out nine official
communications for the authorities, including Sir R.
Peel, then Home Secretary ; the Duke of Dorset,
Master of the Horse ; Lord Melville, First Lord
of the Admiralty; Sir Walter Scott, the Marquis
of Lothian, Lord-Lieutenant of the county; Sir
William Arbuthnot, Lord Provost, &c., &c. These
dispatches were signed by Mr. H., and countersigned
by the Admiral. Mr. Hamilton had also the honour
of landing the unfortunate Charles X., and has now
had the more grateful task of officially attending the
embarkation of her Majesty and Prince Albert in the
Trident. We may mention that George IV. landed
on a Thursday, and again embarked, on that day fort-
night for London. Her Majesty and Prince Albert
also landed on a Thursday, and left on a Thursday,
having been, like George IV., exactly two weeks on
Scottish ground.—Edinburgh Paper.

FRAUDS on the CUSTOM.HOVS°'
In consequence of the repeated frauds that sle
committed on the Custom-house by carmen sthe
others, the Commissioners have given a notice to, to
following effect :—" Whereas it has been represent
the Hon. Commissioners of her Majesty's pus sop
that a quantity of tea warehoused in the Lon
Docks was recently removed from thence by is/ for
ceased carman, for the purpose of being shine' is
exportation on board a vessel lying in St. lititharin.,
Dock, but instead of being conveyed direct to t•11:1
docks the carman conveyed it to some of the 1%0
quays in Thames-street, to be cleared by a.
searcher there, and taken by lighter into St. •Pito

in fact the tailor had given up the account for a 10%*

to balance his loss. However, one day lately, to the 11°
small astonishment of the tailor, his old customer
came and asked him to make a coat, making the tailor
promise, at the same time, that he would not keep the
cloth, and pay himself with it, which promise was
speedily made. The coat was made, and at the aP..,"
pointed time the customer came for it. It was tried
on, it fitted admirably—the price asked, and money
paid. The tailor took the coat to give it a brushint
and took it up stairs—wrapped a coat up in a band,

kept the coat and got his money.—Leeds Times.

before one o'clock, a respectable married wet""
named Mary Wilson, who resided at No. 1, Yates's:.
court, Clements-lane, Strand, went into Mr. Sayer

before his arrival life was extinct.
