FatraAT EVENING. There hel b ten a moderate amount of business in the market f .ir home mining stock today. South Frances Eel tinue in demand, both here ana in Corn wall, with a n upward tendency. Stray Park are flat to-day. " ihe sales include South Caradon, 2075; Stray Pi .rk, 20 ; Alfred Consuls, 191, 5, ; Lewis, 11 ; East W neal Margaret, 11; North Buller, 71, 8; Wheal Golden, 24, 3; Clive, 21, 3. The gold mining shares remain much depressed. The I eAs accredited descriptions are, in fact, scarcely sole Able, even at a heavy depreciation, whilst the pre rniums on favourite stocks are dwindling daily. We have on several occasions drawn attention to the speculative character of this market as being likely to result in severe depression in periods of distrust, and the present position of the gold mining share list abundantly corroborates our remarks. At 4 o'clock Colonial Gold were q uoted Ito 5 prem.; Great Nugget, 3to 5 prem.; Port Phillip, 3 to 1 die.; British Australian, 1 to 1 die.; Anglo Californian, 3-16 to 3-16 prem.; Agin Fria, 5 to 1 prem.; Nou veau Monde, 3 to 1 prem. The Jamaica copper mining companies' shares ruled lower to-day. Metcalfe closed 31 to 4 prem. Other foreign and colonial mines were also flat. St. John Del Rey, United Mexican, English and Australian Copper, and Baden shares were all lower. The closing prices of new undertakings are as fol lows: Mizen Head, 1 to 1 dis.; Lewis Hill Range, 5 to) per share ; Carberry West, sto 5 dis.; Sul phate of Barytes. 5 to 5 per share ; Britannia Gold, 5 to 1 per share ; New Linares, 1 dis. to 1 prem.; New South Wales Coal, 1 to 5 dia. ; Australasian Coal, 1 to 5 dis. ; 3letcalte (of Jamaica), 33 to 4 prem. ; Port Royal (of Jamaica) 2 to 1 prem.; L'Aiglc d'Or, 2 to 1 dis.; London and Virginia Gold and Cop per, 1-16 to 3.16 prem. ; Mount Carbon Coal, 3 to 1 dis.; Kenmore, par to 1 prem.; Port Hunter and More ton Bay Coal, par to 5 pm.; Albion Gold, Idia. to par ; Lake Superior Copper, par to i prem.; London and Liverpool Australian Gold Mining and Stream. ing, par to 1 prem.; Jamaica Copper, 2to 21 prem.; Liguanea (of Jamaica), par to 5 prem. ; Connemara, par to 5 prem.; Glenaulin,l to 5 dis. ; Monarch, 5 to 5 dia.; Garnett and Moseley, 2 to 23 prem.; Au stralian Mutual, 5 to i die. ; Australian COOBOIII, i to 1 die. ; Chartered Australian Land and Mining, 5 to 1 per share; Adelaide Land and Gold, 11 to 6) dia. ; Melbourne Gold, 1 to 1 per share ; Golden Mountain, 5 to 4 per share; British and Colonial Smelting and Reduction, 3 to 5 prem.; Gladbach Zinc, 3 to 1 prem.; New South Wales Gold,: to 1 dis.; South Devon Consols, 1 to i per share; Great Hewes United Tin, 1 dim. to par; Brucutu Gold 1-16 dis. to par ; Cologne Lead, a to 5 dis. ; Polti more, 5 to 5 die. ; Parkwyn and Carwalsick, 5 dis. to par; Obernhof, 1 to 3 prem.; Lackamor Copper, 1 dis. to 5 prem. ; East India Iron, 3a. to 71. per share; Peninsular Mining, par to 1 prem.; Great Crinnis, par to 1 prem.; Cumberland Hematite Iron Ore, 5 to 5) prem. ; Rhenish Charcoal, Iron, and Steel, par to 1 prem.

The diminution in the stock of the precious metals continues, and the amount drawn from the Bank during the last few weeks is in the aggregate con siderable; but the falling off now presented is not so large as had been apprehended, the supplies of Ans. tialian gold relieving the drain upon the Bank's stock. The item of public deposits, after being drawn down to an extraordinarily low figure, has at length resumed the upward movement usual at this period of the qusrter. Simultaneously with this increase, we see a decrease of 200,0001. in the amount of government securities held by the institu tion. The decrease exhibited in the previous return having been 220,0001., the difference on the fortnight is raised to 420,0001. This result might be partly induced by the directors realising government sem • cities, but it seems reasonable to infer that the Trea sury has been repaying the Bank a portion of the advances made by the institution to meet the quar terly dividend payments. The further decline in the amount of private securities shows that the Bank was still underbid in the discount market by the other dealers in money. . . . _ Annexed are the latest reports from continental bourses, as received by Mr. Renter's express : Amsterdam, Thursday, closing prices:—Dutch Four per Cents., 95 5-16; ditto Two-and-a-Hall per Cents., 633 ; Spanish Deferred Three per Cents., 23; the Certifs., 6 746 ; the Old Three per Cent.

Os. 10d. ; corresponding .week, 1861, 2,291/.13.. 10d MONEY MARKET. The funds continue to fall, and the decline to-day was f, per cent. Confidence has evidently become more shaken by the continued warlike preparations of Russia, combined with uneasiness as to the money istrket and the crops. There have been some influ ential sales of stock to-day, partly, as it is under stood, to close outstanding " ball" accounts; and the market closed at its lowest point, injurious rumour, being circulated, in which the position of Denmark was referred to in connexion with the reported ac tivity of the Russian fleet in the Baltic. It is noticed that the chief decline in the Stock Exchange, so fur, is in the funds and in such floating investments as gold mining and land shares, which latter securities being to a considerable extent speculatively held, have rapidly fallen from the extravagant premiums attained a short time ago, and have thus borne out our frequently expressed anticipation. In the other de partments of the house, including the English and French railway markets, prices as yet have not given way materially, being supported by the exis tence of a large " bear " account, and by the generally oversold position of the dealers. General flatness, however, prevails; and, looking at the depressing influence exercised on English railway stocks by un favourable dividend reports and the upward tendency of money, and bearing in mind the frail basis on which the Paris market stands, there is strong reason for the apprehension that a prolongation of the pre sent political suspense will drive down prices. Consols opened rather more steadiiy than yester day, and were for a short time as good as 971 to 4, but the prevalent quotation of the forenoon was 971 to 'l, for money and next Thursday. In the after noon, however, a decline to 971 to 1, and subse quently to 961 to 97 took place, and at 4 o'clock (when the house closed) the price was 97 exactly, the market leaving off fiat. The other classes of the home funds, of course, shared in the depression. The Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have fallen to 1001, which is equivalent, making allowance for the pro portion of dividend now due, to only a fraction more than 991 (four months' dividend, or more than one per cent. having accrued since the sth April.) Some interest attaches to this comparison, owing to this being the stock which Mr. Gladstone offers certain classes of South Sea stockholders, in c..”•:..a.t . ;0n of his unfortunate commutation project. V.'e !la% here an apt illustration of the extent to which thu Chancellor of the Exchequer's plans are interti ed with by the adverse position of the ~.o ley mar', .t. Should the fall in prices continue, it s ill be much more advantageous for all classes of tier*' week holders to steed out for their money, in pn ter, :ice to accepting stock ; unless, indeed, Mr. Gladstone makes up his mind to a heavy loss on his operation by giving them stack at rates upproximating to the current market price. the official business report includes: Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 971, 4; ditto, for account, 11th August, 97, 1, 1. Three per Cent. Reduced, 981, 98. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 1001, ib -1, 3. Long Annuities, 1860, 51, 5 15-16. India Stock, 258. Bank Stock, 2281 2271. Exchequer Bills closed at yesterday's rate of 3s. die. to par, but some sellers could only realise Is. die. Foreign stocks were generally fiat. In Russian there were numerous transactions, sales still pre ponderating. Spanish securities, including the Com mittec's Certificates, also showed a downward ten : dency. In other stocks there was no marked alteration, owing to the paucity of bargains. At 4 o'clock, Mexican Bonds were quoted 251 to 261; Peruvian Deferred, 57 to 39 ; Grenade Active, 21 to 22 ; ditto, Deferred, 81 to 9 ; Spanish Deferred Threes, 221 to /. The Committee's Certificates, 6 to 61 per cent. Sales are thus recorded:—Brazilian Old Five per Cent. Bonds, 1011; ditto, Small, 1011. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 64, 1, 1 ; ditto, Four per Cent. Certifs., 97t, 97, f. Mexican Three per Cents., 26. Russian Five per Cents., 1171, 117; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 100, 1, 991, 1001, 100; ditto, Small, 1005, 1011. The Spanish Com mittee's Certificates, 61. 61, 61, 6 per cent. In the market for foreign exchanges this afternoon there was no essential alteration from the rates of last post-day ; but bills on Paris were in more re quest, and paid with 24.95 to 971, for short. For paper on Hamburg there was money at 13.7, but Vienna and Trieste were rather higher, and there were few buyers of bills on these places. The rate on St. Petersburg ruled at 371 to 38. Business was but limited. Thelarge quantities of Australian gold received this week are being rapidly despatched to the conti nent. The whole of the precious freight of the Queen of England and Beulah (both which vessels arrived in the early part of the week) amounting in the aggregate to upwards of 50,000 ounces, has been despatched across the Channel. So far, the drain appears unabated, the bullion brokers continuing to collect all available supplies of gold for remittance. The further decline to-day in the rate of exchange on Paris is calculated to promote this movement. In Mark•lane to-day the demand for corn on the spot, under the influence of more propitious harvest weather and liberal foreign arrivals, ruled dull, and prices were the turn in favour of buyers. Floating cargoes, however, were held with great firmness, aed several sales of wheat were reported at rather higher rates than were obtainable last Monday. fhe half-yearly general meeting of the East India Railway Company is to be held on the 16th inst., and will afterwards be made special with a view to ratify the contract with the East India Company for the extension of the line to Delhi, and the amalga mation with the Upper India Railway Company. The directors of the London and County Joint stock Bank have declared a dividend for the past halt year, on the capital stock, at the rate of six per cent. per annum, free from income tax, and payable on Monday, the 15th inst. The balance-sheet of the Bank for the half- year ending the 30'h June, shows the following resells, viz. :—Net profit for the half year, 19,696/. ; half-year's dividend, 11,1754 ; balance carried to profit and loss new account, 8,5204; re served fund, 44,9901.; capital, 379,7251.; customers' balances, 3,366,3354 ; cash and securities, 3,780,7911.; bank premises, &c., 29,9524 At the first annual general meeting of the Nether lands Land Enclosure Company, held at Rotterdam, on the 9th July, the report was adopted, and autho rity given to the directors to raise a sum not exceed ing 250,0001., on debentures. A second meeting of the shareholders is to be called to ratify the proposed modifications of the statutes. Australian Land shares, of all descriptions, were heavy, and lower. Australian Agricultural were quoted, at four o'clock, 30 to 32. British American Land shares do not move, being called 64 to 66. Beath Australian Land fell 2!.

THE NEW BILL AGAINST DEFACING CUR- RENT COIN. .TO THE EDITOR OF THE EX MINE Sta,—lt seems to mo that the provision in the government bill now printed, making it a ti,i-demeanour to deface the com by stamping names or wort , 4 is a vi ry goof one, as there are many reasons why pantie, should net bo allowed to advertise in this way. But how no you inter pret the clause rendering any person tenderiag or uttering such defaced coin liable to a 40a. fine, on conviction before two justices? It I receive or pay away i i the hurry of business, a large quantity of halfpence, am 1 obliged to go over the entire amount, coin by coin, to see hat none ate defaced? Such a provision sceras alma,' Catch the actual defacers of the coin and punish t •. in, but it is absurd to provide punishment for parties who, although "utterer.," world probably be, in the gr....t majority of cases, perfectly innocent of the "defacing."

THE CONDEMNED CONVICT ROBERTS. Thie convicted murderer, whose execution is fixed far Wednesday next, has mode a kind of emlession of hie guilt to the magistrates of the county of Caraarvon. The following is the confession : Wm. keens said to me there had been a diff•rence be tween him and Jesse Roberts for upwards of • .eelve months, bemuse he (Wm. Evans) wanted his son to I. see the situ.- 1100 Jesse Roberts held. Wm. Eisele said t "what will you take to entice Jesse Roberts to the oinuatain, and to fire at him ?" I replied, there is no cliff. ...nee between the boy sod rue ; I will not go. He pressed me to go, and that he would give me 23 shillings for doin_: so. I said was not content, bat in the end I consented to - do so. I went towards the house of Jews Robert., and saw his father standing close to the door. Jesse Roberts soon after came there, and we went to the h :e.e together, and we stayed the re whilst Jt,oe Roberts was driukiog his tea. 1 asked Jesse It i.erts if he would come to look fur a rabbit ; I .e said he would. We then went together to th. , mountain. We went ro Cerrig.y•eryfiid, where the body of Jena Roberts was found. J. we Roberts a rock. I then, in my foolishness, fired at the poor 1,.y. I wish I had not dune so. He was kill, d instanoni There was a distance of one rood rid a half or two rr.ods between us. I cannot say what I did with the body, for I was se confused. On the Saturday before we p 'rte.', Wm. Evans told ma in the path to he sure to take a e.orreet aim, and not to in-so him.
