Soriil S ^ rJt as any other coopty in Great SSaS-aL . had no speeial body of arch . Bolog . 8 t 8 dSoi ted : to the care and preservation of its monuments . A fact so carious is perhaps explained by the assumption that the metropolitan county must necessarily claim the chief care of the Royal Society of Antiquaries , and its subsidiary bodies , the Archaological Institute and the Archaeological Association . Such , however , is not the case . These Societies display a certain—or we may more truly say an uncertain activity in the investigation of historical antiquities generally ; but we are not aware that they charge themselves specially with any care of metropolitan monuments . For example : —there is the Tower . Of all the monuments of past times in England , the Tower of London is first in interest . Indeed , it has no competitor . Us j » tory is the History of England—a history of its court and of its people , ol its best men and most beautiful women—of its wars , its pageants , its insurrections , its conquests , its reverses—of its . manners , its arts , its arms , its laws , its religion * almost of its literature . Every room in the Tower is a record , every stone is monumental . Yet in our own day parts of this precious edifice have been- dug up , thrown down , carted away , and rebuiltwalls have been scraped' and inscriptions removed by ignorant men , without a word of protest , so far as we know , from these learned bodies- Care of the Tower would alone justify the establishment of a Middlesex Archaeological Society . Then , - there are—Brentford ; a world in itself for the antiquary—Crosby Hall—the old ' prisons—Westminster Abbey—Old London Bridge-Old Change—Old St . Paul ' s—St . John's Gate—The Charterhouse—and' a hundred others equally curious and important , most of which are still open to a- good deal of documentary and other illustration . Such a work demands earnest workers ; and * we are glad to announce a proposal to establish a society for the purpose of assisting to investigate and preserve these Middlesex records of our past life . Lord Londesborough has accepted the office of President , and Mi * . G . B . Webb that of provisional Secretary . " —Athenaeum . M 1 r . Cbooks , a Government contractor at Melbourne , has been dismissed * from his appointment for having , after drinking & glass of his Excellency ' s beer , at a vice-regal ball , exclaimed O Lord ! " and walked out of the supper-xoom " with one hand pressed on his external coating . " The Colonial Secretary , in a letter to the victim , lays it down as a law that it is the duty of all contractors , more especially in public , " to support and countenance all articles of consumption furnished by . official contract .

      MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Friday Evening , Sep tember 7 , 1855 . Great inactivity still prevails on the Stock Exchange generally and the English Stock Market continues heavy . Gold has been in demand for exportation , and the remittances for the Turkish Loan and to pay for silver , which continues to be drawn from the Continent for exportation to India and China , tend to increase the scarcity of the metal . During the week . it wa « thought on the Stock Exchange probable , from the tightness of money , that the Bank of England ' would raise its rate of discount although- a more favourable opinion was-held among some bankers- Thursday nroved the former opinion to be correct , as the Bank of BiiKMaiio * raised its minimum rate of discount from « $ J to 4 ner cent . ; but as the event Had been expected , and consequently discounted on the Stock Exchange , it did not operate there as a depressing influence ; on the contrary , Consols closed that day at rather firmer quotations , as " Bears , in anticipation of the measure , showed a disposition to buy back . The Lombard-street discount housesalso raised on Thursday the rate for money " on call" from 3 to Si per cent * There is no improvement in Turkish Six per Cents . ; through the week the Stocki has been depressed , closing thi * day at 92 t , 93 * . The New Turkish Four per Cents , also has been flatter , boiag much held' by speculative buyers ; like the Turkish Six per . Cent , in its early career . Some time must be' anticipated for this Stock to attain a firm rooting . The Contango wa < 4 per cent ., no discount being allowed on payment of the instalments by anticipation , and the small amount already paid up renders- it not so much in favour with bankers and permanent investors as the vain © of the security undoubtedly merits . OnWednesday its settlement took place , and on-Monday that of the Ardennes Railway , of which company an extraordinary general meeting is advertised for the 17 th intit ., to deliberate upon the proposed amalgamation . The receipts for- the week ending Simday last' were 1097 ? ; viz ., 8 I 4 J . passengers , 2 $ 3 l . goods . Ycstorday the September consol account ; passed off quietly . The American market for securities has been dull .

      CORN MARKET . Mark-lane , Friday Evening . September 7 , 1855 . A PAIR quantity of Foreign Wheat has arrived during the week , but unfavourable reports of the yield of the new crop here and on the Continent , cause extreme firmness i n the trade , and the conviction gains ground that present prices are safe , arid may possibly be greatly exceeded before another harvest . Wbeat and flour are held firmly for an > advauce of lsj . per qr . and sack from Monday , and at this a fair amount of business has been done : Only a few sales of floating cargoes have been made . Galatz on passage has been sold at 71 s , 72 s ., 72 s . 6 d ., and 73 s ., and a mixed cargo of Egyptian at 47 s .. all cost , freight and insurance A cargo or Galatz Maize on passage has beeu soldat 4 ls . 6 d . This description is held for 42 s ., and Ibrail 41 s . The supply of Barley is rather liberal , and . 'in the absence of much demand , prices must be noted nominally as on Monday . There is a large supply of Oats , yet with brisk demand , Monday s rates are well maintained .
