JOURNAL OF THE MONEY MARKET,

TUESDAY EVENING.—The funds are still on the improv-
ing order, although the transactions have not been of any
importance, as the jobbers are mainly occupied in making up
their accounts for settling day. Consols were 90 to * both
for money and time. Exchequer bills 3s. to ls. discount.
Bank stock 159 to 160. India stock 211 to 2.

9. Belgian 97 to 8. Spanish active with the coupons 231

WEDNESDAY EVENING.—The intelligence this morning
from Paris of the capture of St. John d'Acre, coupled with
the peaceful tenour of the important memorandum of the re-
presentatives of the four powers, published exclusively in the
Herald this morning, had the effect of giving an additional
impetus to the funds, and Consols rose to 904 buyers for
money at one time. Subsequently however they became flat
and rather on the decline from the belief of its being a dull
account. Just before the close of business the commencing
depression was still further increased by the appearance of a
leading broker in the market, who effected some rather con-
siderable sales. Consols in consequence declined to 894 to
90 both for money and to-morrow the settling day. Bank
Stock was 159 to 160, India Stock 241 to 3. Exchequer
Bills 2s discount to par.

Market. Spanish Active with the Coupons were 231 to 1.

were 35 to 4, the One-and-a-Half per Cents (falsely called
Threes) 22 to 4. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents were
51+ to 4, the Five per Cents 984 to 9. Belgian 97 to 8. The

London and Birmingham Railways. were 76 to 8, Great
Western 19/ to 201 premium. South Western 52 to 3 per
share. Blackwell sto 4/, Brighton 121 to 4 discount.

We are enabled to state, upon authority, that various in-
tentions existed respecting the appointment to the vacant
see of Meath. Dr. Dickinson was, however, under all the
proposed arrangements, to have been considered. The ap-
pointment of Dr. Sadleir to the bishopric was mooted, and
had it taken place, Dr. Dickinson would have succeeded him
in the provostship ! This would have been, if possible, a
more dangerous appointment than the one which has been
actually effected. The mysterious postponement of Dr. Sad-
leir's claims is thus simply accounted for—on the death of
the present Archbishop of York, who is now at a very great
age, the Archbishop of Dublin is to be translated to that see,
and Dr. Sadleir to be appointed to the vacant archbishopric
of Dublin.—Dublin Statesman.
