The funds, however, continue to show singular stead iness, considering the character of the news from the east of Europe, which ceases the confidence hitherto generally expressed in the maintenance of peace with Russia to decline daily, and induces a belief that any day may bring forth intelli gence calculated to have special bearing on the interests of the whole of Europe. The tone of the market to-day was flatter, but the decline was re stricted to 1 per cent. Further speculation for the fall is evidently deterred by the absence of any real sales of importance. On every side: the hope is expressed that a more decided policy will now be forced on government. The Paris bourse to-day was reported by telegraph as again showing a declining tendency. Consols, though they twice improved to 941 to 1 ex div. for the 18th January, were quoted during the greater part of the day at 94 to j, which was also the fi nal quotation. The transactions were scanty. The official business report is u follows:—Three per Cent. Consols, for the opening, 18th Jan, 941, i, 7, ex div. Three per Cent. Reduced, 941 uary . ;,1, Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 96 1,1,1, 7,1, 1. Long Annuities,lB6o, 51. Exchequer Bills were fairly supported at their slightly improved price of 3s. to 6a. prem. India Bonds may be quoted par to 3s. prem. In the foreigin bond market the chief transactions were in Peruvian, which again experienced an im provement. Mexican and Spanish were rather flatter. In other stocks there was an absence of movement. At 4 o'clock Mexican Bonds were quoted 241 to 1. Peruvian Three per Cents., 49 to 51; ditto Four and-a-Ralf per Cents., 69 to 71. Sardinian, 90 to 92 ex div. Spanish Deferred, 22 to 1 ; Russian Five per Cents., 112 to 114 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 98 to 99. Granada Active, 21 to 12 ; ditto eferred, Bto 81.

Spanish Old Three per Cents., 461, 7 ; ditto New Deferred Three per Cents., 22. There was a rumour in the City this afternoon that Lord Palmerston's resignation will not be ac cepted by her Majesty, and that the present ministry will be patched up. The bar silver brought in last week by the steamer La Plata from the West Indies and Mexico, was sold to-day at Se. 12d. per ounce standard, which was also the price realised at the previous sale. The bulk of these supplies was taken for India and Chins, but a portion will be despatched to the continent. Notice has been issued of the cancelment in due course of a number of bond' of the Brazilian loans. The sugar and coffee markets remain very firm. Native Ceylon coffee was in demand to-day at 491. per cwt. Laud shares remain steady. Bank shares pre lims& no feature beyond a further decline of 11. in thumbs:es of the ;Bank of Australasia.

The market for home mining stocks wears an im proved appearance. For favourite stocks, including more especially the dividend shares, there are nume rous inquiries, and, sellers being not anxious to part with their interest, buyers can only be accommodated at higher prices. Great Polgooths were again better. Shares in English mines, in which gold has been dis covered, continue to be freely dealt in. Quintrell Downs, for instance, have met with numerous transactions at a to (2s. Ed. paid); and Devon United at 21 6 (11. paid). South Devon Consols are quoted to prem.

Australian Agricultural are quoted 45 to 47 ; North British Australasian, }to prem.; and Scottish Australian Investment, 1;; to 11 prem. In other mining stocks dulness prevails. REMARKABLE CASE OP POISONING.—The public sppathy has been most painfully excited in this neigh wurboutl (sap the Swarm; Herald) by a series of events which have ptuLlted several of the leading families in the eastern part of the tantnly in the deepest aMietion. In the second week in November leg, the festivities annually cele brated in connealon with the Cowbridge Bunt took place, as usual. The race ball at the Bear Hotel, in the town of Cowbridge, was attended by the elite of that portion of Olamorganshire, nail had passed off with greater brilliancy ' even than ordinary. In a few days, however, the greatest consternation was occasioned by the circumstance that several ladies and gentlemen who had been present were attacked by a fever of the most obstinate and dangerous character, the symptoms of which, it is stated ' are precisely similar to those of the epidemic fearfully celebrated as the "Croydon Fever." The number of the sufferers is variously reported from 20 to 40 ; and it is smiled that this distressing affliction has been occasioned by the accidental breaking into an old drain during some alterations carried on in the immediate vicinity of the ball-room, and which it is said had not been opened far upwards of twenty years. The Rey. Oeo. Tra hems, a clergyman greatly esteemed in his neighbourhood, and Miss Richards, of Roath, a young lady of most amiable character, cut down in the bloom of youth and beauty, have fallen victims to the terrible malady. In addition to the above we understand that members of nearly all the influ ential families in the district, who attended the ball, are suffering is the same way, many of them not expected to recover—among those are members of the families of Sir G. Tyler, M.P., Mr. Booker, M.P., Dr. Caine, and others. Even the servants of the inn and other inmates of the house have been attacked with the distressing malady. COYPARATIVE VALUE OF THE RUBY.—At the sale of jewels held by Messrs. Foster and Son, at 64, Pall-mall, on Thursday, 22nd inst., a ruby ring computed at 16 grains, after some competition, produced 280 guineas ; being nearly three times the value of the finest brilliant of the same size. The brilliant necklace sold for 1,2001.; and the sale assonaWd to 3,6181. 24,414 861 1,528 0,681 1,428 2,179 SHARE LISTS. TIIIIIRSDLT 'trireme. The railway market to-day was heavy in &a nder, sad pnoes generally ruled rather lower, finally closing with a dull appearance, at the worst point of the day. The decline is chiefly apparent in Dovers and Lancashire and Yorkshires, which are unfa vourably affected by a decline in the traffic. Heavi ness in the provincial markets, and the netnews of Consols, seem to have stimulated some sales, chiefly speculative ; but beyond the transactions of the dealers there was little movement in this depart ment. The transactions are still on the most re stricted scale. THIS DAY.—Two c/CLocx._ The railway market today lw ;ITOWTlheaviness, and within the last hour, in sympathy with the fall in Consols, a general and rather decided reduction in prices has taken plum.

An invention, the object of which is the achieve ment of this very desirable result, was submitted yester day to a private new by Messrs. Ogan and Goddard, 10 their °faces, No. 2, Twill/heel-lane, Cannon-street Availing themselves of the eleetro-ntagaet, which is now applied to such a variety of purposes, the inventors under take to establish, by means of wires, a communication between the different railway stations and intermediate digtancirs. A wire connected with a battery runs from the station to the required distance, one or two miles, or further according to circumstances, where it joins two bars, :placed each side of the line, which are charged with eke .. one on.___. _ ewe, tricity ; while another wire runs backward to the station, and thus makes the communication complete. By mean, of the usual signals, " All right," " Stop," " Clear," and seen, the station-master on the one side, and the engine -driver of each train on the other, are apprised of the state of the line at any particular moment, and enabled to pursue the proper course. Connected with the bars is a treddle spring, which cannot fail to be touched by any train which passes over the spot, and the action of which is such as to set in motion bolls at the station, which continue ringing during the whole time occupied by the passing of the train. The signalling appears to be so arranged that it is next to im possible for two trains to enter at the same time on the inter mediate ground without wanton disregard of duty on the part of the railway servants in charge of the station or the trains. Illiation also was made yesterday of an apparatus which has been in operation on the South Easte'-n Railway for several months; the effect of it being to enable the station master to prevent any train from starting until a signal has been received announcing that the line ie clear. Even this appears well adapted to secure the public against a recur rence of many of the most fatal accidents recorded : but it there are no practical difficulties of an insurmountable nature to be urged against the more recent and exact inven tion exbibi.ed for the first time yesterday, the public will have a right to expect to be saved from having broken bones, and railway companies to be relieved from expenses for cempeosatiens and repairs which sometimes have a serious effect on dividends.
