MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE Wt,l,

CITY, FRIDAY EVENING,

The funds recovered a trifle from the effect of the sales,
noticed this afternoon, and Consols left off at 91 91% for
Money, and for the Account; Bank Stock, 167 169; India
Stock, 249 251 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 51 53 ; New, 49 51
Fern
The prices of Foreign Securities were—Belgian, 101 102 ;
Dutch Two-and-- Half per Cents., 51/ 51i ; Danish, 81% 82%;
Brazilian, 64% 65%.
The quotation of Mexican declined to 353 for Money, and
35i for the Account.
A decided improvement was exhibited in the Share Market
towards the close of business. London and Birmingham. were 181
183 ; Birmingham and Gloucester, 46 50 ; Great Western,
88% 89% ; the Half-Shares, 63% 64 ; South Western, 611
; North Midland, 58/ 59%; the Half-Shares, 28% 29 ;
South Eastern and Dover, 23 23%; Eastern Counties, 8-
9% ; Northern and Eastern, 39i- 40; Blackwall, 9 9%; anti
Brighton, 33% 34-i per share.
The Foreign Exchanges were altogether better, especially in
Paris and Parnburgh. The large purchases made at the late
Indigo sales have, doubtless, to a great extent, contributed to
this advance in the latter place, but still the probability of any
great demand for produce, against which bills would have to be
drawn, haring been removed, the balance of trade will, it is
almost certain, remain in favour of this country for some months
at least to come.

The Bonds quoted in the official lists were—Colombian, 20%
20% ; Spanish Five per Cents., 2N, and the Three per Cents.,
20k.
Owing to the late hour at which the letters by the Caledonia
were delivered, no part of their contents can be noticed
which contain any general information, beyond the copious
details of intelligence published in an early second edition of
The Sun this evening, for which merchants have expressed
themselves much indebted.

Papers to the 30th March have been received from Sydney.
The accounts continue to be favourable for British goods, but
the caution is again repeated that the improvement is owing
more to the diminution of stocks than to increased demand.
The want of labour appears to be felt here also, and measures
were about to be adopted to petition the home Government
that convicts might again be allotted to them.

(Vi(n The Sun of Last Night.)
The Funds do not still maintain their prices, and some few
sales this morning have given a flatness to the market. Con-
sols are 91 91A for Money, and 916 for the Account ; Three

pr em.

Cents., at 51i 514. Mexican is (tnted 36} 34.

FALM6UTII.—AWFUL AND SUDDEN DEATH.—On
Monday morning, the 18th inst., a person by the Tia
of Richard Granvill, for many years master of one of tho
Falmouth packets, during a cunvc.rsation with his wife,
complained of a numbness in one of his arms. Whilst
in the act of describing the pain, he exclaimed " good
God ! oh, my head," and felt to the ground a lifeless
corpse.—Plymouth Herald.
IMPORTATION OF FOREIGN CATTLE.—The Emerald

Isle steamer from Rotterdam, which arrived here on
Sunday, brought us the first importation of live cattle
from that quarter under the new law. It was but a
specimen, consisting of four cows in calf, which we me
derstand found ready sale at remunerating prices. One
of the cows calved on Tuesday, and the calf, with two of
the other cows, were offered and disposed of at our
market that day. While the importers are satisfied, our
neighbouring farmers look with no alarm upon the
change, being perfectly sure that no foreign cattle can
equal, much less excel, the native breed. The cattle
brought over are likely to be lean beasts for feeding.
The Innisfail, Gothenburg mail steam-ship, which arrived
on Tuesday, brought 16 pigs.--Hull Rockingham.
NOTTINGHAM TRADE. The plain cotton hose
branch in the villages is bad indeed, and nothing can
exceed the misery of the stockingers. he glove trade,
both silk and cotton, is nearly in the same deplorable
state, the hands being short of empioyment that makes
them reckless of seeking for labour, nor is the worst yet
come, fur the hosiers are rapidly and almost generally
stopping their frames. The silk hose branch, like a
wounded snake, " drugs its slow length along," making
cheap hose, such as five scores, and four scores and fif-
teens. The streets of Nottingham present a woeful ap-
pearance.—.Dr 4 Chronicle.
FRunTut, VlNE.—There has been counted on a
vine belonging to Mr. Candy, Lemon-row, Truro, the
e.lmost incredible number of 875 bunches of grapes,
Should they come to maturity, of which, from their pre-
sent healthy appearance, there can be no doubt, they
may be expected to weigh each, at a very low
average ; equal to 8 cwt. 3 qrs. 171 lbs. the weight of
the whole. Although an out-door vine, some of the
grapes are nearly full size.—Plywouth Herald.
Dysentery of a very severe kind is now prevalent in
the neighbourhood of Kilrush, arising from the use of un-
ripe potatoes after a hard summer of keen starvation.
Many families were fainting and famishing on one meal a
day of herbs and gruel. These afiiieting scenes must
recur while the precarious potatoe continues the staple
food of the bulk of the people.—Limerick Reporter.
ASIITON-IN-MACKERFIELD.—Mere are a great
many people out of employment. Those who make the
various articles of iron, such as locks, bolts. hinges, &e.,
were last week " tasked" a second time ; in other words,
were prohibited from doing more than a certain quan-
tity of work in the week ; the masters urging as a rea-
son their utter inability to pay wages to the amount
they have been accustomed to do. Orders are becom-
ing " rare things," and cash very difficult to meet with.
As this is the second time , the masters have availed
themselves of " tasking" their workpeople, the latter
find it absolutely impossible to provide for their families
and pay their way.—Manchester Times.
A very extraordinary wasps nest was discovered
the other day in a hedge, belonging to Mr. John Forth, at
Castle Donington. It measured seven feet six inches in cit..,
cumference, and two feet in depth.—Nottingham Review.
A letter from Sevine,:of the 11th inst., states:that
the heat had been so intense there for several day% tha a
great number of persons had quitted the place to proceed to
a cooler situation.
