MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS
CITY, MONDAY EVENING.

FROM THE 'MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

TIMES.—It was mentioned last week that a con-
signment_of indigo and cotton to the value of 112,000
London for the benefit of
• the holders of Guatemala bonds. . It has since been
stated, on authority, that the shipment alluded to was
made at Realego, port in the Pacific, in. Nay last,
On board the Monarch, Captain Lecheur,, and tha in-
. surance has been effected by an eminent firm, which
has received the bills of lading. It is added that the
shipment results from a large quantity
.of tobacco,
Obtained from the State of Costa Rica, in 1840, by
the exertions of the British Consul there, on condition
of that State being absolved from more than a stipu- -
fated share of the original Guatemala debt. hence
the distribution of the funds to arise from the consign-
ment above referred to is dependent upon the Con-
sul's instructions, in order that he may. secure the
fulfilment of the condition by the bondholders before
the distribution takes place.. The whole. debt (if Gua-
temala does not exceed 160,6001. or 170,0001., bear-
log 6 per cent.. interest.
.Some correspondents, in respect tosrail way matters,
ask for an explanation of the advance of the Black wall
fares before the period mentioned in the report, which
was. the Ist of next "month. -We apprehend that the
only satisfactory explanation able to be given is, that
' the Directors wish to prepare.. themselves against a
falling off in the season's traffic consequent upon the
withdrawal of many of the pleasure steamers now the
fine weather draws to a close, and that they have there-
fore availed themselyes of the earliest possible time of
doing-so, in the hope, of keeping up their xeceipts near
the amount which they were in the spring. - •
There are also complaints made of the mode now
.practised. by Railway Companies charging a cheap
fare for the whole extent of the line, but varying it
in a very disproportionate manner to passengers who
have to alight at intermediate ..stations. A Corres-
pondent writes, that in taking a pleasure trip to
Headcorn by the South-Eastern Railway he paid
7s. for his passage, but, finding nothing there to
interest him, he made up his mind to return. to Rei-
gate. To his great surprise, however, instead of the
3s. Bd. set down in the time-table as the charge for
Reigate, the clerk demanded' SS. 10d., and the result

are worthy of particular attention. They 'Completely
confirm the view taken some time since of the insur-
rection, namely, that some more important parties
were, the prime movers than the individuals who then
occupied, the more prominent position. :The answer
.of thel.wder, Pretorious, leads but to the conclusion
that our negotiations at the Hague upon the question
of. acquiring, territory in the Ea.it Indies in violation
of existing treaties, must firmly and speedily Is

NEW PARISH CONSTAIit!':S' ACT,
Among the Acts of the. British Legislature to

.Majet4y.
Royal assent in person before the prorogation of
Parliament on the 'l2th of A ugnst, Was " An
Act fOr the .Appointment arid Payment of Parish
.Constables," (5 and fiof Victoria, c. 109), which
will effect an important change. in the mode of
appointing and remunerating parish constables.
As the statute is about to come into immediate
operation, and. as it affects every parish and
township in England, it may not be amiss to call
public attention to its leading provisions.
The preamble recites, that whereas it will in-
crease, the security of persons and property, if
further provision be. made for the appointment
of fit persons to act as constables in the several
parishes of England, .and if power be given to
pay them for the performance of their dutie3;
and it proceeds to enact that after the expiration
of 80 days, and before the expiration of 100 days
next after the passing of the Act, and on some
day after the 24th of March, and before the 9th
of April, in each following year; the Justices of
the Peace of every county in England shall hold.
a special petty session of the peace in their
several divisions, for the appointment of paro-
chial constables, of which session due notice
shall be given to every Justice usually acting in
that division. .
The 2d section requires the Justices within 30
days next after the passing of the Act, and within
the.first seven days of February in each follow-
ing year, to issue a precept under the hands of
any two of them to the overseers of each parish
within the division, requiring them to make and
return, within 80 days next after the passing of
the Act, and before the 24th of. March in each
following year, a list in writing of a competent '
number of men within their respective parishes
qualified and liable to serve.
By the 3d section it is enacted that the over-

office until dismissed by the Justices in general
or quarter sessions assembled, and to receive his
salary out of the county rate.
