THE COLLIERY EXPLOSION NEAR GLASGOW. On Sunday it was definitively ascertained that the number of people in the pit when the explosion (recounted in yesterda)'s Etpress) took place amounted to 63, viz., 3.3 MOO awl A lads. Of these 61 were killed. Had the event Occurred sone half-hour later, the consequences must have been much more calamitous. Of those lost the majority were married, and they have left among them 66 children. Then was all along a hope entertained that, if the work ings could be reached, some of the poor fellows would be thund alive ; for it was evident that, after the first eon srulseve threes of the esplosion, the ventilation of the pit had readjusted itself, and the fresh air went into the down cast shaft, and, after permeating the mine, camped by the tap-cast shaft, half a mile distant. Towards the afternoon of Sunday the men who came up from time to time stated that they were convinced they had heard the sound of voices from the bottom, although so inarticulately that they could not make out what was said. About 3 o'clock two of the miners came up, bringing a portion of the cage with them, and stating that the main portion of the cage was still jammed is the beams of wood, although they hoped it might ODOR be relieved by the action of the hatchet. They also stated that they distinctly heard the sound of one or two voices, who asked how long it would be be fore those above would get at them, and and also if they euuhl alt send them down a light. This was confirmed by another arrival from the shaft a little before 5 o'clock. The men 11110 came up said the sounds reached them as "Send down a Davy (mealtime a Davy lamp) and some matt." On being asked how many there were, the voice seemed to an swer " Two. - or " Two-and-twenty," the miners could not my which ; but, acting on the first requisition, a little bag IMO sent down containing some toast and brandy, which was intended to be dropped, if possible, by a string through the interstices in the rubbish. It should be observed that the is Hissing party was still 40 fathoms, or 240 feet, from the bottom of the mine. About six O'clock on Sunday night the Millen were able to bring up a large portion of the iron cage which had so mach olistruetesl their efforts during the greater part of tbi, day. They were only able to remove it by cutting through the iron at the corners. Several additional descents were mule, and about nine o'clock it was defi nitely announced that the workmen were now in cons niumeetion with the two men, whom they had a prospect of saving. Previous to this the refreshments noticed above hail been sent down and acknowledged. About 10 eialock a supply of blankets was sent down, as it was an nounced that the pour fellows were aluiest in a state of nudity. Afar a lengthened period of anxiety and snspeasse, one of the per sufferers, named John Cochrane, was brought to the surface , . Ile was supported by two men into an adjoining shed and immediately attended by a medical gentleman. Cochrane was in such a weak state that he could not give any eletaiksl account of the actual occurrence of the calamity further than that two men who were work ing wish him at the time were instantaneously struck down by the tire. During his lung imprisonment of nearly 45 hours. he seas that he repeatedly groped about for souse of his ueighlweire, and often called on them, but, with one ex cepti .... ,no Me answered. The Earl of Glasgow and Mr. Rodger, P.F., were on the ground till late at night, en ouuniging the wurkpcople by every means is their power. A company of the 21st Infantry, which was brought to the spot ley Mr. John Dun. sheriff-depute, rendered es sential service iu restmining the crowd. During Monday the operations continued, and another man was discovered alive, and two dead bodies brought up. The Using men had not been able to give any connected ac count of the accident. No more men can now be gut out alive. Last night there were still 30 deed bodies in the pit, making the total low of life 61. Tui I'EmintoKEMMLN Bosouona.—ln the event at a dissolution of parliament.

Mr. Phillimore states that Jane Wilbred has very much improved in health, and that a lady has offered to let her reside in her house as soon as she leaves the Con valescent Institution, in order that she may learn gradually the duties and habits of a domestic servant. Mr. Philli more expresses his intention of keeping her in sight, and hopes " that her future condition may in some degree coun terbalance the sufferings to which she has been exposed." — Lynn Adrertiser. PAPAL AGOBESSION.-011 Friday evening there was • meeting in St. Jude's Schoolroom, Chelsea, the fourth that has been held in this parish during the week, at which 1 petitions were unanimously adopted to both houses of par liament, earnestly praying for such measures as may effectu ally suppress the use of territorial titles, and prevent syniali- ' cal :Litton on the part of the Romish clergy, under colour of any authority from the Bishop of Rome. The incum bent of the district, Mr. Patteson, was in the chair, and the meeting was addressedby the Rev. G. Mathias, Rev. W. Riven, J. A. Warre, Esq., and others. Six lectures on the prinri:ial points of the Hanish controversy have been lately given in this schoolroom by the clergy of Chelsea, and on each occasion it was densely crowded. EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDINGS AT CHICHZSTEIt. (rav ova ovra CHICHESTER, MONDAY. On Monday, the 27th of January last, the ltev. Edward Parsons, minister of a large dissenting eon gregatiun iu this eity, worshipping at Zion Chapel, died, ut the age of 62 years. The congregation in question was originally established in the year ItaH, at Pi ovidence Chapel, by the lees. Mr. Huntingdon, who formerly preached at Gray's-inn-lane Chapel, Loudon. Since that time a Rees aion took piece, and there arc now two congregations (Cal vinists) in the city assembling at the chapels I have named. Mr. Parsons has been fur nearly 18 years the highly re wetted minister of Zion Chapel, the congregation of which numbers between 40U and 5W Individuals, and the rev. gentleman occupied a v,:ry high and respected position lei the city. Mr. Parsons, as I have said, died on the 27th of January, and on the 30th of the same month, Mr. James Russell (a respectable tradesman of the city, and a deacon of Zion Chapel), acting for the congregation, applied to the Rev. Jarvis Kenrick, through the parish clerk of the sub deaneu parish, for permission to have the family grave opened fur the interment of their deceased pastor. The Ike. Jarvis Kenriek, it should be stated, is the rector or chief clergyman of the sitheleanery parish (to which he has been appointed about two years) and belongs, as my in formants tell me, to the hi gh Puseyite school. On the afternoon of the same day Mr. Russell re ceived a long letter from Mr. Kenrick refusing to read the funeral service over the deesseed 'Guthman. By this extraordinary conduct not only were the wounded feelings of the deceased pastor's surviving congregation and friends wantonly outraged, but in the refusal was ins mused the rights of dissenters, for whom there is no special burial place in the city (with the exception of that provided fur and by the Quakers), and therefore they have a right, as parishioners, to a decent Christie' burial in the parish churchyard. Immediately un the receipt of the letter from Mr. Kenrick, Mr. Russell wrote to the bishop of the diocese on the subject : My Lord,—l have applied to the Ikv. J. licnrick to celebrate the funeral service over the remains of the late .-..-. Mr. Parsons; the rev. gentleman positively refuses to com ply with my request, on the grounds that the deceased was a separatist, and a teacher amongst separatists.' I shall feel much obliged if your lordship will do me the favour to inform me whether the view which Mr. Kenrick takes on the question be deemed by your lordship to be the correct one. An early reply from your lordship will oblige me, as the funeral is to take place on Sunday next. I have the honour to be, my lord, your lordship's most obedient servant, JAME* litssnti, East-street, Chichester, 31st , Jan., 18.51." To this letter the bishop replied in the following terms " l'alace, Chichester, Jan. 31, 1851.—Sir,—.Shout five o'clock this afternoon 1 heard, for the first time, of Mr. l'araons's death, and of Mr. Kenrick's declared intention of refusing to read our funeral service at the interment of the corpse. Assuming the late Mr. l'aresius to have been baptised, a fact 1 have never heard questioned, there can be no doubt that Mr. Keurick is mistaken in his view of his duty. I have written to him in the hope of convincing him of this. My letter is nearly copied, and probably by the time you receive this it w ill be in Mr. Kennek's hands. shall trust it will hase the effect for which it was designed, sad that you and the other friends of the deceased will be spared the pain which at present, I have learnt with regret, you have reason to apprehend.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, A. T. CICESTL—Mr. James Ruseell, East-street." Thia being the state of affairs, it was resolved to bury the deceased minister in his own chapel; and accordingly a vault was prepared in Zion Chapel, in which lie was in terred on the afternoon of Sunday, the 2nd of February, in the presence of upwards of a thousand persona, such being the interest elicited by the unwarrantable conduct of the Puseyite, Mr. Kenrick. On the following day, Mr. Russell addressed the following note to the bishop: "My Lord,—l beg leave to express my sincere thanks for the early reply to the question respecting the funeral of the late Mr. Parsons, and at the same time to inform your lordship, that I have been informed that Mr. Parsons was born and baptised in the parish of Subdeanry, and that not having received any further communication from the Rev. J. Keuriek, we have been peers... Rated to inter his remains within the precincts of our own chapel.—l remain, my lord, your lordship's most obedient servant, JADILS Rue ezet..—Chichester, Feb. 3, 1851." A meeting of gentlemen who felt deeply interested in this matter was held on the Tuesday following at the Dol phin Inn, the Rev. J. Fullagar (unitarian minister) in the chair, when a committee wail appointed, consisting of two members of several congregations in the city and their re sqactive minister+, with two members of the established church • and from this committee a deputation was re quested wait upon the bishop to ascertain whether his lordship had any power to prevent the recurrence of suck au unwarrantable course of procedure on the part of Mr Kenrick. This deputation proceeded to the palace, but the I bishop being absent at the time the chairman of the com mittee addressed to his lordship the following letter "My Lord Bishop,—At a meeting holden at the Dolphin lan this morning, to coueider what steps it may be proper to take in consequence of Mr. Keurick's refusal to read the burial service at the funeral of the late Mr. Parson., of which your lordship has been already apprised by Mr. Russell, it was agreed that, before anything further was done in the matter, a deputation should wait on your lordship to in quire whether you have power to adopt any measure by which a recurrence of the late painful and illegal transac tion may be prevented. Your lordship's absence from Chichester preventing the deputation having the desired audience I have been requiuted, as chairman of the meeting, to make this inquiry by letter; and as there is a very strong feeling existing on the subject, I have, on behalf of those who met this morning at the Dolphin, to beg your lordship to favour me, if not inconvenient to you, with an immediate reply.—l have the honour to lie, my lord bishop, yours respectfully, J. FeLLAOAß.—Chichester, Feb. 4 , 1851 " The bishop immediately forwarded this reply: "43, Queen Anne-street, Feb. 5, 18 51 .—Dear Sir,—To your inquiry I must answer in terms similar to them which I have employed in replying to Mr. Russell, that I have no canstraiming power over Mr. Kenrick whereby to ensure that he shall nut repeat his refusal to use the burial eer vise, sa in the case of the late Mr. Parsons.—l remain, dear sir, your faithful servant, A. I'. CICILSTA.—Mr. John Other meetings of the committee have since taken place, and the Town Council have taken up the question, in con junction with a second case, equally bad, if not worse, and the details of which I now proceed to narrate. A young woman named Jauc Rogers, the daughter of pour but respectable parents, resident in the city (the ather, lam told, worked in one place for forty years, a sufficient proof of his industry and respectability), recently drowned herself, mid her bo was found a few days after Mr. Kenrick 's refus al to bury Mr. Parsons. it coroner's inquest was held on the body, and a verdict of "Temporary insanity " was returned; indeed, the melancholy fact of insanity being a family disease was established, and a brother of the deceased young woman committed suicide a few years ago. In defiance of the ver dict of the jury, however, this same immaculate Mr. Ken rick refused to bury this unfortunate girl. "No," he said, " they might put her in the ground if they liked, but he would nut read the funeral service over her ;" alleging as his only reason for this additional outrage that she had put an end to her own existence. The decomposed state of the' remains required immediate interment, and they were so "put into the ground" the same evening, without the least ceremony, not even a rope being provided to lower them into the grave. These.eventa have excitod much sensation in the city of Chichester; even Mr. Keariek's colleagues in the church think he is wrong, and regret the course he has pursued. The town council, as above mentioned, have taken up the question, and instructed the town clerk to apply to Dr. Hay• ford and Mr. Peacock, for their opinions as to whether any and what steps can betaken in the matter. These opinions are now in that functionary's hands, and are to be submitted to a meeting of the council on Tuesday evening. Mr. Kenrick has since called upon Mr. Thomas Clarke, a magistrate of the city (of unitarian sentiments in religion), sad placed in his hands a letter he has addressed to the dis senters, offering to purchase, at his owe expense, an acre of ground its a place called " The Hornet," and to give it he the dissenters u a burial-ground, as, he aye, other cases may, perhaps, occur, and they will then be enabled to bury their friends in their own way. His offer has nut yet been either accepted or refused—all action hosing been suspended until the legal opinions, and the council's decisiou thereon, are known; and another meeting of the committee is to be held during this or next week. This suspension of action will accuuut fur the fact that these matters have scarcely been made public outside the walls of the city, though they have crested so profound a sensation within. It is worthy of notice, as illustrative of the general condemnation of Mr. Kenrick'ii conduct, that a majority of the town council are churchmen. TIIE FORTIFICATIONS IN MILFORD HAVEN.—The new Martell° tower, situated at the western extremity of the Royal Dockyard at Pembroke, has been finished and given up to the government for mounting with guns and occupation by, troops. The other is in a very forward suite, and three enfilade the approaches to the dockyard, and are in positions redecting credit on the officers of the engineer department. The small fort on the Stack rock at the en trance of the haven, is progressing under the hands of the contractors. It is in contemplation to erect another and more powerful battery of heavy guns on Thorn Island, commanding the southern entrance of the haven. ELECTIONEERING MOVEYENTS.—The Cambridge Chronicle states that a requisition is about to be presented to Mr. G. F. Young to allow himself to be put in nomina tion fur Cambridgeshire, and predicts his success in con junction with Lord George Manners and Mr. Yorke. Mr. S. Crawford having signified his intention of resigning his connexion with the borough of Rochdale in the event of a dissolution, Mr. Pets has been mentioned as his suc cessor. D - 15161 - 6 - ThE PAST WEEK. REViEW OF THE BRITISH CORY TRADE (From the Mark Lone Evros.) The arrivals of bread stuffs from the Black Sea, ate. off the coast, have been much less plentiful this week than earlier in the mouth, and the prevailing opinion is, that most of the shipin slits made from that part of the world previous to the navigation becoming impeded by ice (which did not occur till January) have now come to hand. A few straggling cargoes may . perhaps still drop in, but we are , not likely to have anything like such large supplies as we have recently been receiving from thence. 1 Ise effect of the late receipts will, however, be felt for some time, only ' ; • comparatively small proportion of the supply having as )et truie d o:leto„.Sontos",`l7l., i .orenn't po ß yr„ f airnt l lreelarirneda, t e a r leoarist siderable quantity to Bristol and Gloucester, and some to Loudon, Liverpool, and eves to Scotland. The re ceipts direct front abroad hare not, us already stated, been heavy since our last; but the distribution of the 300,000 to 401,000 qrs. of wheat and Indian corn, previously concentrated at one or two points, has afforded ample sup plies at the diffment ports to which the vessels have been directed to proem', and this circumstance has been unfa vourable to any improvement in prices. The wheat trade has, nevertheless, maintained the somewhat firm tone which it assumed towards the close of last week, and at several of the large consuming towns in the north, and at most of the markets in the agricultural districts, the value of the article has rather tended upwards. Some time must yet elapse before supplies of consequence can mach as front the Baltic; and by the moat recent ad vice* from France, it appears that the shipments of flour for British ports had fallen off materially, in consequence of the unfavourable result of previous consignments. Meanwhile there is little prospect of our own growers bringing forward much corn until they shall have coin- I /Acted the sowing of the spring crops, which can scarcely be aecomplisheil until about the middle of April. We are, therefore, inclined to think that present rates may be pretty safely rec konedl upon during the next month. how prices may rule subsequently will depend in a great measure on the character of the weather, and other circumstances of which nothing at present can be known. The reports thus tar speak well of the appearance of the autumn-sown wheat, and, as far as spring tillage has proceeded, the work has been done in a highly- satisfactory manner. Our letters front Scotland inform us that fair progress ' had been made with outdoor labour. Notwithstanding the somewhat firmer tune of the advices from the south, the wheat trade remained in a languid state at the chief mar kets, owing to the extent of the foreign arrivals. Considerable supplies of wheat and Indian corn having been received at several of the principal ports iu Ireland, the value of both articles had, it appeared, tended down- I wards; and, though the deliveries from the growers had been moderate, business had been dull, save for home-grown wheat. Oats had come forward sparingly, and this grain' is evidently becoming somewhat scarce in the sister isle, ' whirls induces us to believe that we shall not receive any supplies of moment from thence, whilst our markets hold out so little inducement to consign. The arrivals of a heat coastwise into London have been small, only 2,721 qrs. having been reported up to this (Saturday) evening. The quantity brought forward by, land-carriage samples from the neighbouring counties has meanwhile been quite trifling ; and, though the demand has not at any period been active, factore have insisted on prices quite as high -is those previously surrent. The opera tions on Wednesday were necessarify unimportant, there being scarcely a sample exhibited either on the Essex, Kent, or Suffolk stands ; and, though there were a few runs fresh up from the tint-named county on Friday, still the supply PM too unimportant to allow of extensive tmnsacuons. The town millers have at no period of the week shown symptoms of being iu any immediate want, and the trade altogether has been more firm than active. A considerable number of the cargoes of wheat lately arrived off Falmouth from the Black Sea, &c., having come round to London, the supplies of foreign have been over 46,01;0 qrs. haring been received during the week. Meanwhile we have had very little country . inquiry, and the supply has, therefore, been considerably In exeess of the demand. Really fine qualities, such as Dantrie and "buttock, have been held with firmness, at previous prices; but to have sueceeded its making sales of Black Sea or Da nube wheat from on board ship, it would have been neces sary to have accepted comparatively low rates. So unwil ling, however, were purchasers to take more than needed for immediate use, as to render it difficult to sell largely upon almost any term.; and, in the absence of business of moment, quotations have remained nominally unaltered. For floating cargoes of Polish Odessa wheat ult the coast very full terms have been demanded, but there appeared less inclination to buy on Friday than earlier in the week. The demand for flour has been steady, and the top price for town-made has been well supported. Until towards the close of the week we had moderate supplies of flour from abroad, but within the last few days the receipts have again increased. Importers have, nevertheless, remained firm, and neither French nor American was lower un Friday than earlier in the week. Barley of home growth has come to hand sparingly, and, superior malting qualities having been sought after, pre vious prices have in some instances been slightly exceeded for the best, whilst secondary sorts have been easily placed at late rates. The arrivals from abroad have amounted to only 2,010 qrs.; and, though the demand has not been par ticularly lively, sellers have found uu difficulty in obtaining former terms. The previous value of malt has also been well supported. The arrivals of oats from our own coast and Ireland have been trivial, and the supplies of foreign small; altogether, only 16,513 qrs. have come to hand during the week. The principal dealers have conducted their operations with ex treme caution; and, notwithstanding the shortness of the supply, factors have been unable to establish any quotable advance on last Monday's prices. On Wednesday, the operations were quite on a retail scale, nor were the bar-1 gams closed un k riday by any means extensive,. iu which position of affairs prices underwent little ur no change. The stocks in the hands of the dealers ore certainly decreasing, and • small advance in prices appears by no means impro bable. The quantity of beans brought forward has been about sufficient to satisfy the demand, and no alteration has taken place in the value of the article. Peas lase moved off very slowly, but buyers have been unable to purchase cheaper than before. There has been some inquiry from time to time fur In dian corn afloat, principally for Ireland, which has encour aged holders to ask previous rates. THE FOREIGN CORN TRADE. --- By the most recent advices from the northern con tinental porta it appears that very few shipments of grain were being made for British porta, and that the transactions of the principal markets had been on quite a retail scale. Rather sharp frost seems to have been experienced, and some uneasiness was beginning to be felt as to the effect of the cold on the young wheat plant. It is, however, gene • rally admitted that the crops arc looking well. Danzig letters, dated 10th instant, state that during a I period of several weeks scarcely a purchase of wheat had been made for export, the few orders received from hence having been limited much too - low to allow of their execu tion. The local demand had also, we are informed, been trivial, speculators having manifested no disposition to enter into fresh engagements. In this position of affairs quota- i tions had become perfectly nominal, but holders had dis played more firmness than might, under the circumstances, have been expected. At the Lower Baltic ports, the transactions appear like- , wise to have been unimportant, higher prices having been I asked fur both wheat and spring corn than buyers had been inclined to pay. Our Rostock letters, dated 10th March, inform us that holders of wheat in granary, had manifested no disposi tion to accept less money, though the demand had been exceedingly slow. The supplies bruuKta forward by the farmen had been offered at comparatively moderate terms, and good 62 lbs. quality might have been bought so as tube put on board at 355. per qr. Stettin advices, of the 10th of March, state that a good many parcel. of wheat had changed hands the previous week, but that the demand had afterwards subsided. 61 to 62 lbs. parcels were then quoted 335. to 345., and 60 to 61 lbs. 32a. to 335. per qr. free on board. Barley had been held firmly; Oderbruek at 16s. to 16s. 6d., Pornmeranian at 16s. 6d. to 175., and Silesian at 171. to 17s. 6d. per qr. At Hamburg, on Tuesday, wheat was quite as dear as the previous post day, but the actual transactions were not im portant, either in parcels on the spot or cargoes to be shipped from out-ports. Marks red wheat on the spot, ' weighing about 61ilbs. per bushel, was quoted 36a. Gd. to 375. ,• whilst from Pomerania, Wismar, and Holstein, 614 to i 611bs. qualities had been offered at 3.55. to 355. 6d. per quarter free on board. Barley had become scarce, and Seale, of only 491bs. weight, was quoted 22.. per quarter free on board. From Danish Islands, 53 to 541bs. kiln- I dried barley had been offered at 17s. 6d. per quarter free , on board. Freight to Loudon, per steamer, was still Is. to 3s. 6d., but to Hull only Is. 6d. per quarter, for wheat, with 10 per cent. At Rotterdam a fair extent of business appears to have been done in wheat ; and Zealand, as well as Rhine, was fully as dear on Monday last as on that day week. A parcel of new Rhine, weighing 59}lbs. to 601bs. per bushel, had I been sold for export at 345. 3d. per quarter free on board ; heavier sorts had, however, been held relatively higher. In spring corn very few bargains had been closed. Brew and Poland oats were quoted 15s. to 17.., and feed 12s. to 11s. per quarter free on board, according to quality. Quotations of oats appear to have been very firmly sup ported at all the Dutch markets, and there seems to be little prospect of supplies of any extent reaching us from that quarter. The latest advices from France are of a decidedly firmer tone, government purchases of wheat having been made in many of the departments at prices which had exceeded those . likely to be realised in our markets, after paying freight, ; &c. At Paris, notwithstanding a and increasing stock, t dour had risen in value Ito 2 Aim* pm eaek ; and this ad . vance had had more or less influesos on prices at ports on the coast. ABOLITION OF THE DUTY ON PAPER. Yesterday a meeting of Irish representaJves and ss others took place at the King's Arms lintel, Palace-yard, is Westminster, to consider the beet means of pressing on the i tt , Chancellor of the Exchequer the necessity of abolishing 23 the excise duty on paper. Mr. Jolts ltorsoLna, M.P., in the chair. 23 Amongst thoao present were, Mr. Higgins, M.P. ; Mr. Fa- !L Rau, M.P. ; Mr. Cowan, M.P. ; Sir Timothy O'Brien, M.P. ; Captain Greene, bLP. ; Mr. T. 3PCullagh, M. l'.; The Olior• to man Mahon, M.P. ; Mr. P.

Courtney ; Mr. J. Cameron, Mr. Them, &e. After a long 'Teeth from the chairman, Mr. 0r.31.c UL LAG 11, M.P., moved a resolution to the effect SO that the excise duty on paper impedes the progress and ex- 16 ; tension of the manufacture: and, by paralysing enterprise, Lt.,' operates most injuriously on the interests of trade and the 2 employment of the pmple. In proposing this resolution, ge Mr. it 'Cullagh observed that Ireland had a special claim in SO this particular, as she had maintained a paper manufacture lilt against her English competitors, and would get on very le well if the weight of taxation put upon her were not too .1:1 heavy for her strength. IS Dlr. FAGAN, M.P., seconded the motion, which was x carried unanimously. Captain UItEENE, DI.P., moved the next resolution— 111 1- that a deputation be appointed to wait upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer and also upon Lord John Russell, with a 16 view to obtain the repeal of the paper duties. Sir T. O'BRIEN seconded the resolution, which, after Iv some conversation, was passed. It. Mr. HIGGINS, M.P., moved that the chairman be re- 30 ,.. quested to fix a day tsar the deputation to attend in Down- a tug-street. St After some further conversation it was agreed that the deputation, whilst mainly consisting of Irish members SI :ta u ti i n i g nc il l i u t a te re such English u p e z; ,, e ,, n rs tat a. i v es m o i f g tat lit: willing SO to further theobject desired. The meeting then separated. COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. 81. MINCING-LANE,-THIS DAY.

The share market opened very heavily. this morn ing, and a tendency downwards manifested itself, which was soon much strengthened by a rush of sellers, all apparently desirous of realising. The consequence was, a serious fall in prices, especially in those lines which have more particu larly been made the medium of speculation. As these operations slackened, however, and the dealers were enabled to take a juster view of their position, a much stronger feeling sprang up, and prices are now all looking up again, though the present range of the market is still decidedly below yesterday's. The heavy stocks seem to have suffered least, the decline being most observable in Scotch shares and some of the lighter descriptions so much in favour of late. The market is still characterised by much excitement. In French and Belgian shares there have also been a great number of " sellings" at reduced rates, but in this department tho feeling at present is also more confident.

Two Orton:, Business in Consols continues very restricted, owing to attention being still concentrated upon the " Railways" department of the "house," in which business is still very lively, but additional dul ness is imparted by the gloomy state. of the weather, which naturally limits the attendance both of dealers and individual operators. The only trans action deserving of notice is the purchase of another small parcel of Consols, on account of the National Debt Commissioners. ....... The pity of Consols has been stationary an the morning. at 911! to j for money, and 961 to for the aieount 4,1 the 10th of April, which quotation is just a shade lower than yesterday. 01 the other funded descriptions, the 30 years Annuities, expiring in 1880, mark 7 8-16.
