MONEY and COMitIERCIAL NEWS

CITY, SATURDAY EVENING.

The advance in the prices of the Funds having been so
rapid, though not without sufficient cause, has induced
some parties to endeavour to close their accounts while
a certain profit was to be made, and hence a slight re-
action at the close of business, as compared with the
rates of the day. In looking at the present quotations
of the Funds, and the value of money, much cause for
despondence would seem to exist at the depressed state
of trade, were it not also to be observed that the issues
of the Bank of England, coupled with an increased stock
of the bullion, and the circulation of the kingdom gene-
rally, had been greatly expanded.
Consols left off at 92-7,, for Money, and 93 934 for the
Account. Bank Stock 167 169 ; India Stock, 251 252 ;
Exchequer Bills, Old, 51 53 ; New, 49 51 premium.
Transactions on Foreign Securities were but small;
the prices of Dutch Two- and-a-Half per Cents., 521 521;
the Five per Cents., 102, • 102+ ; Belgian, 1011 102 ;
Danish, 83 84; and Brazilian, 65 66.
The quotation for Mexican was 34+ 341.
The Share Market was dull, owing as much to the day
of the week as to the small number offering:—London
and Birmingham were 183 135 ; Great Western 84+
851 ; the Half Shares, 601 61; South Western, 621 63k;
North Midland, 57 59 ; the New Shares, 28 29 ; South
Eastern and Dover, 211 221, Eastern Counties, 8i 84 ;

201. 2i ; the Three per Cents., 194 20*.
(From The Sun of Saturday Evening.)
The Mark ts are all exceedingly good, though but
little business has been done. Consols at one period
of the day were 93 for Money; and 934 for the Ac-
count, but a slight reaction has since occurred, and
the prices are now 924 93 for Money, and 93 934
for the 13th October ; Three per Cents. Reduced,
934 ; Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Reduced, 101-1 ;
New Three-and-a- Half per Cents., 101; Bank Stock,
168 169; India Stock, 250 251 ; India Bonds, 34;
Exchequer Bills Old, 51 53; New, 49 51 prem.
Dutch are the only Foreign Securities which have
been dealt in to-day, the Five per Cents. at 1094; and
the Two-and-a-Half per Ce: ts., 524.
The quotation for Mexican Bonds is 34k.
More inquiry has been visible for Railway Shares.
The purchases have included South Western, 63 ;
Great Western, 851; the Half Shares, 601 ; Bristol

104 ; Eastern Counties Debentures, 101. 9s. 2d.
York and North Midland, 89 ; and Edinburgh and
Glasgow, 481 50.
The Bonds quoted to-day are Colombian, 201;

Portuguese Five per Cents., 334 ; Spanish Five per
Cents., 20:11; the Three per Cents., 19'it.
Money continues very abundant, sud is difficult of
employment at 1 per cent. on Stock, and at 2 per
cent. in the Discount Market.

diately after the Council for town.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, attended

Englaud, with Lord Ashburton on board, on the 20th of
this month.

At the last meeting, of the Edinburgh and Glasgow
Railway Company theAgnewites did not venture to press to
a division the question of stopping the Sunday trains! We
were sure that the good sense of the people of Scotland
would speedily disgust them with the puritanical schemes
of the agitators. . The prospects of the railway are most
promising, and now that a better, because more concen-
trated, system of management has been introduced, the
proprietors may look forward to the speedy realisation of
their most sanguine hopes.—Radway Times.
COVENT-GARDES.—It is understood in the thea-
trical world that Mr. Vandenhoff and his accomplished
daughter arc to strengthen the Covent-garden company
in the approaching season, and that a new drama, from
the pen of the gentleman who was the successful author
of The Provost of Bruges, is in preparation. •

By the Brisk we learn tliat the Madagascar and
Water Witch had recently attacked and destroyed a set-
tlement, or what is called a baracoon, at a place near
Cabenda, and liberated 900 slaves.—Anti-Slavery Re-
porter.

musical performance in the Town-hall here last night,
at which Grisi, Ernesta Grisi, Lablache, Mario, F. La-
blache, Hayward, and Machin, distinguished themseves.
Signor Costa, of the Italian Opera, was engaged to con-
duct the concert. It is thought there were nearly 3,000
persons present—a fact which speaks a great deal for
the peaceable state of the town and neighbourhood. It
being Madame Grisi's first appearance in England this
year, she was most heartily welcomed. We never heard
her in finer voice. All the performers acquitted them-
selves in the usual style of excellence, and were enthu- '
siastically applauded by a most fashionable and crowded
assembly.
PRESENT TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT.
—A very beautiful Arabian mare (the only one la hick
has been permitted to leave the country for many years
past, and which arrived in England a few days since) has
Just been presented to his Royal Highness Prince Albert,
at Windsor, from the English Consul at Morocco. The
mare, which for symmetry may almost be said to be un-
equalled, is of a dark grey colour, standing fifteen hands
high, and not more than two years old, and of the purest
Arab blood. it reached Windsor by the Great Western
Railway from town a day or two since, and immediately
upon its arrival it was taken to tho. Quadrangle, where
it was seen by the Queen and the Prince, and several of
the members of the Royal Household, by whom it was
greatly admired.
SUDDEN DEATH.—Saturday morning, between
nine and ten o'clock, an awful instance of the uncertainty
of human life occured to a middle-aged gentleman, whose
name is unknown, in Cleveland-street, Fitzroy-square.
The unfortunate gentleman was walking along Cleve-
land-street, and, it is supposed, that feeling suddenly
ill, he endeavoured to reach the residence of Mr. Law-
son, a surgeon, No. 13, in the street. He succeeded in
doing so, but the moment he arrived on the step of the
door he suddenly fell. Hu was instantly carried into
Mr. Lawson's shop, who used evey means to restore
animation, but without effect. _ _

Saturday morning a robbery was committed at
the Greenwich Pier, by which Mr. Groves, one of the
Magistrates of the Greenwich and Woolwich Police-
court, lost a portmanteau and valuable contents. It
appears, he had come down by a steamer, having re-
turned from a journey, and the portmanteau was duly
lauded, but had in a few minutes vanished. Its disap-
pearance was, however, soon accounted for, as it was
remembered, a person had taken it up, saying, it was
Mr. Grove's, the Magistrate's, and ho was to take it
home ; having got off with it, he forgot the duty he had
taken on himself, and took quite another road, and has
not since been heard of.

Much dissatisfaction has been felt in the town, at
the driving of four hundred men at once from Mapperley-
hill to prison. Admitting that they were imprudent in
meeting there after the Queen's proclamation, yet they
were peaceable, and to disperse them would surely bays
been sufficient without committing them to a recep-
tacle for common felons. Amongst them was poor blind
Peter, a very fine rioter truly. Will any one of these
men, thus unjustly and harshly treated, be more in love
with the Magistracy, or be better or more loyal subjects
for being thus imprisoned ? Provisions had been col-
lected in the town, and sent up to the men on Mapperley
plains, and when the county Magistrates and military
came up, the greater part of those who were captured,
were quietly-sitting down on the grass, preparing to eat
their dinners. The straining of the law to capture and
incarcerate these men, appears to us to be highly impru-
dent, and will exasperate rather than appease, at such a
crisis as this.—Nottingham Review.
Saturday morning a splendid tiger was landed at
the Custom-house for the Surrey Zoological Gardene.

THE DISTURBANCES IN THE
MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS,
MANCHESTER., Friday Evening.
The town has been quiet all day, and a number of
pedal constables have been dismissed,. but the,re. are
no more hands at work than yesterday.
The most sanguine hopes are entertained that if the
workmen would resume work, trade would again be
as prosperous as it has been. The sales of cotton at
Liverpool to-day are 5,000 bags.
A meeting of the Anti Corn-law League was held
last evening, at which Mr. Cobden, ALP?, spoke, and
endeavoured to show that the League have nothing
to do with the present disturbances.
