MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, TUESDAY EVE:NI:NG.

There was noth;ng done in the English funds re-
quiring notice, since the closing of the Stock Ex.
change was made available by most of the jobbers
of influence to leave town. Some parties interested
in Mexican Bonds were in attendance, however, the
mail being due.
A mercantile firm, in reviewing the transactions of
the past month, remarks that—" The business trans-
actions of the past month exceed, in the quantity of
colonial and foreign produce, any similar period, in value
between two and three millions sterling, and to chiefly
supply immediate wants ; yet we hear of nothing
but complaints amongst the merchants and traders,
whilst we know that almost all the leading products
yield good, and in many instances great, profits to the
producers. We wish the colonists could say as much
for the inanufacturers of this country ; but unhappily
the reverse is the case. The accumulation of bullion
in the Bank of England, and the consequent increase
of the circulating medium, has failed to produce (as
heretofore) any speculation in merchandise. Compe-
tition continues to interfere with profits, and will do
so until labour is better paid and considered to form
a part of the material."
No news yet of the British Queen.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
A good deal of anxiety is' expressed at the non-
arrival of the British Queen; and although we do not
wish to add to the alarm felt upon the subject, we
may observe that she is longer out than ever before
known, even last Christmas.
Up to this time nothing has been heard of the West
India steamer, though, had she come right on to
Southampton, we should, no doubt, have been in pus-
session of her letters ere this.

The Dutch are not inclined, it seems, to be so
tamely swindled as ourselves, and are manifesting this
by their dispositions for obtaining redress from the
Neapolitan Government. We are told that the dis-
closures in reference to the Tavogliere Bank,
are worse than was expected, and that
a deep laid scheme of fraud has been discovered,
scarcely one of the originators of the concern being
men of any substance or character. The foreign
shareholders are consequently involved in the loss of
all their capital, and as the Government was instru-
mental in the getting up of the concern, the Dutch
hold it partly responsible, at least so report says.
The duty upon brimstone exported from Sicily has
been reduced by 2 taris per quintal, probably because
the Government finds out that our manufacturers are
too clever in the adoption of fresh resources, to allow
themselves to be made a handle for monopolists to
draw their gains with.
The Russian fair of Nischnei Novgorod has `not
gone off so well as usual this year, a great scarcity of
money having prevailed, and credit being asked not
only for present purchases, but also for liabilities con-
tracted on account of former dealings.
Ready money was scarce with every one, but more
especially with the merchants of kasan, who have
suffered so much by the conflagration there ; but in
every instance a laudable desire was evinced to meet
outstanding engagements. Furs, iron, corn, &c., all
sold much below their value ; and of tea the supply
was large, and the price cheap.
The report of the Liverpool 'Cotton-market states
that the transactions yesterday were to a fair extent, I
the quotations being steady. Sales 4,000 bales. In
Railways also, a moderate business was done. Brigh-
tons were supported. Eastern Counties brought 81;
Edinburgh and Glasgow, 46+ ; Great Western,
Half, 61+ ; Liverpool and Manchester, 175 ; and
Brighton, 36+.
The Stock Markets are closed to-day, and among
the jobbers prices are nominally much the same.
Consols about 93k; Spanish, 17k.

tions are, Lancaster and Preston, Three Quarter

SAVING A PENNY.—A farmer, in the neighbour-
hood of Balfron, sent his servant girl last week to
that village with five pounds' weight of butter to sell.
Having learned that in Campsie, about fifteen miles
off, a certain price could be obtained—one penny a
pound more than he expected in Balfron—the girl
was ordered, if she did not obtain the higher price in
the village,
was, .4,
to walk on to Campsie with her 1,•-e.
that the girl had to trudge to Catini,i,
result
and back, about thirty miles, to gain five pence for
her money-making master. It is needless to say
that her master did not agree to keep the servant in
shoes.--Dundee Herald.
