MONEY MARKET-YESTERDAY.

The more favourable accounts which have been received from
various parts of the country this morning, have had the
natural effect of stimulating purchases and prices in the funds.
We have bad Consols, which opened at 81-fL, to for account,
advance to 82 to *. This rise however brought forward sellers,
which led to a reaction of about per cent. in a short time.
They have since recovered to, and now are again, 82 to * for
time, and Bli to 2 for money. The transactions have been of
much less importance to-day than last week, and the attend-
ance of dealers less numerous. Reduced Threes are 80} to *.
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., :812 to 2. Exchequer Bills,
19s. to 14s. discount. Bank Stock, 183 to 5.
We have a report of a deputation of bankers in town from
Liverpool, to communicate with the government, but what may
be the particular object in view has not tvanspired.

The Gazette of Friday contains a proclamation for the
assembling of Parliament on the 18th instant.
An advertisement which appears in another column in
reply to one from the Guardian Society, will amuse our
readers. We would have sent a reporter to the drapers'
meeting alluded to, had we heard of it before.
SMUGGLING.—At the police-court, yesterday, a seaman
belonging to a vessel from America, was fined 205., or to
be imprisoned for seven days, for smuggling 21 lb. o
Cavendish tobacco.
POLICE-COURT.—There was not a single case yesterday,
at this court, of commitment for trial, either for felony or
misdemeanour. This is, we believe, due partly to the
vigilance of the detective police, partly to the rainy
weather on Sunday evening, and, in some degree, perhaps,
to the somewhat improved morals of the people—though
this is rather questionable. There were several petty
thieves sent to the house of correction for various terms,.
but no case presenting any feature of general interest.
THE UNION BANK AT NEWCASTLE.—A committee of
shareholders has been formed to examine into the affairs
of this bank, and it is stated that should the results of the
investigation sanction such a step, the committee are em-
powered to resume the operations of the establishment.
It was considered probable that a call of £2 per share
would in that result be made. The capital it was intended
to increase to the extent of £300,000, the new shares
being open preferentially to those at present holding
stock. The pressure upon the other banks in the town
had ceased.
CHURCH OF ENGLAND NORTH SCHOOLS.— It is a
source of regret that these schools are not visited more by
the subscribers. They are situated in a densely-populated
district, Bevington, and the only person who appears to
take a lively interest in them is the Rev. F. Power, M.A.,
minister of the district. His exertions cannot be prized
too highly. There are 600 children in daily attendance,
and we feel assured that if the public knew how they were
working, they, would not lack support. Great credit is
due to the master, Mr. Bowes, who is an excellent
teacher ; and although he entered on his charge under
many disadvantages, he has been making steady progress,
and we are confident that by the time his zeal and abili-
ties are as well known as some of his contemporaries, they
will be fully appreciated. The same remarks apply to the
other teachers.

THE WEATHER.—The past ten days have been rather
humid for the sowing of wheat, but a good deal has been
got into the ground at drying intervals between frequent
showers and heavy fogs. In this neighbourhood farmers
continue to sow this crop, as weather and circumstances
may permit, even up to the last week in December ; but,
if the weather remain moderate and somewhat dry, this
operation may be gradually accomplished during the pre-
sent month. Yesterday was one of the finest we have
had for many weeks, and so remained throughout. Though
the first of November, the temperature was as mild and
agreeable as that of a day in early summer ; and the sun
shone out splendidly from his rising to his setting,—show-
ing a remarkable contrast to the usual anniversaries of the
incoming of the gloomiest month in the year in these lati-
tudes, and especially in this island. Beyond the sowing
of wheat there is comparatively little going on of field
labour. The grasses are still luxuriant, and turnips keep
growing a little where not yet gathered.
DREADFUL SUICIDE.—About half-past nine o'clock
yesterday morning, a man unknown, of middle stature,
dressed in a black coat and vest and corduroy trousers,
called at Mr. Farrell's, Temperance Coffee-house, No. 4,
Cazneau-street, and asked for the key to look at the next
house, which was to be let. The key was given to him by
a female, but, as it was not returned, she went in about
an hour afterwards to ascertain the cause, when she found
the door of the empty house a-jar, and having gone into
the front parlour, saw the key lying upon the chimney-
piece. She closed the window, which the man must have
opened, and went out, locking the door after her, sup-
posing all to be right. About half-past three o'clock, a
person, having got the key to see the house, found the
deceased lying dead in a pool of blood, on the floor of the
first back bed-room, with his throat cut, and a razor
lying about a quarter of a yard from him, It appeared the
deceased had, before committing the dreadful deed, taken
off his hat, and coat, which he had folded up and placed
on one side. Au inquest will be had QA the body to-day.

MUNICIPAL ELECTION.

(Continued from page 5.)
6.-CASTLE-STREET WARD.

The Conservatives have seldom offered any opposition
in this ward, as the candidates brought forward by their
opponents have been of the most unexceptionable charac-
ter. Yesterday, Mr. John Holmes was again returned
unopposed, having been one of the members for many
years, and given, by the whole of his conduct, the most
complete satisfaction.
