MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO 'THREE.
Good accounts continue to be received from
Liverpool. On Saturday 10,000 bales were sold at
steady prices, the demand from the speculators being
extensive. One half was Surat. A fair business was
also done in Railways, and the market was good for
Brighton, and Paris and Rouen Shares. Eastern
Counties were 84; Edinburgh and Glasgow, ;
Grand Junction, 183 • Great Western, lialfr,§o4;
Birmingham, 187 ; Paris and Rouen, 24+1 and
South Eastern, 18+.
There are later accounts by the Patrick Henry
from the United States. The dates are, New York,
Nov. 7 ; Philadelphia, Nov. 6 ; Quebec, Oct. 31.; and
Montreal, Nov. 4. Commercial affairs do not appear
to have varied much, and money was abundant.
Produce ruled low, but some of the American jour-
nals anticipate a better business in British manufaC-
tures than the tariff might be supposed to admit of..
The sth of December, when resumption of speCie
payments is to be attempted at New Orleans, wag,
looked forward to with much interest.
A general topic of conversation in the City to-day
has been the sudden disappearance of a young man
employed as collecting clerk in the establishment of
the London Joint-stock Bank, and .who has with, him
upwards of 20,000/. in notes., tm. Having failed to
return to the Bank, suspic;',oU was excited 'and
possible
and within'
two hours vehicles 'ire*-,, dispatched
direction to trace out the party, whose name is Jordan.
It is supposed therefore evere, that he will be unable to
escape, ar,d that even if he succeeded he might not,
from '.ne large amount of the notes, 1;0001:and 5001.
rich, get rid of them.
There is a quiet market for the Public Securities,
and prices are not buoyant. The Savings' Bank pur-
chase has been in Consols at 94.1, and in Reduced An-
nuities at 94i. Consols for present transfer, realise
944 to 941, and for Time 95 to 954 ; Exchequer
Bills are at the decline to (4s. and 565. premium.
New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. have been marked
1014 ; and Reduced, 1004 to 1004 ; the Three per
Cents. are 934 to 944 ; Bank Stock is rather brisk,
at 1711 to 172,3 ; but there are no bargains in India
Stock ; India Bonds are 50s. to 525. premium.
• The accounts from Lisbon notice the increased
favour into which the new Treasury issue was get-
ting, and also the election of Deputies for the Lisbon
district favourable to the. Government. The Stock is
firmer, New Five per Cents. at 371, and Converted at
311. The financial project for Spain, coupled to a
commercial treaty with England, excites much atten-
tion. The Active Bonds are 174 to 18, and the
Three per Cents. are up to 224 and 221. Mexican
Stock is down again to 304 and 29+. The over-issue
is clearly proved to be contrary to the letter and spirit
of the Government decrees and stipulations for the
conversion, and excites the greatest indignation in all
respectable quarters. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. are 521.
The Share Market is more animated, and the quo-
tations are supported. Eastern Counties are 131;
Brighton, 144 ; Hull and Selby, 141; Greenwich, 8 ;
Midland Counties, 374 ; North Midland, 371 ' • and
South Eastern Scrip, 2 dis.; Great Western New,
are 124-124 ; Birmingham Quarter, 24 ; South West-
ern, 194 • Northern and Eastern Scrip, 31 ; and York
and North Midland, 43 prem. London and West-
minster Bank Shares are '2 prem.
The large public sales of Tea are going off very
heavily.

WOODCOCKS.—There were killed last week, in the
coverts round Skibo 'Castle, by Air. Dempster him-
self, Mr. May Mackenzie, and other friends, about 60
of those winter visiters, along with roe-deer, pht
sants, and other game. This is a much smaller num

week of last year at the same place, when 67 wood-
cocks were bagged in three days, and when Easter

birds.—lnverness (leaner.
IT TAKES Two TO MAKE A SLANDEK.—" My dear
friend that woman has been talking about you so
again ! She has been telling the aWfullest lies you
ever heard : why she railed away at you for a whole
hour !"—" And you heard it all, did you ?"—" Yes."
—" Well, after this, just bear in mind that it takes
two to make a slander—one to tell it, and one to listen
to it." . „
