[THREEPENCE. The increase in the Treasury deposits is vet) heavy. This is an item of the balance-sheet whii h of late has been marked by great and unusual varia tions. The increase in the metallic stock is nearly a quarter of a million, and is more than had been ex pected. In explanation of the increase in this item during the last fortnight, it is stated that consider able quantities of coin, which are not required for use in the manufacturing districts, owing to the suspension of industrial activity in that quarter through the strikes and " lock-oats," have been sent to the Bank. This item must also be affected by the extraordinary increase in the payments into the Bank on account of the Treilfry. The large in crease in the stock of Government Securities held by the institution is probably owing to an increase in its stock of Exchequer Bills. On the whole this return is favourable.

The CIIAIIIMAX—Than it appears yes live at the bottom of a hole. We are quite *Wm of the lamentable state oi l the sewerage in the Clapham-road; but natil we are is a eaaditiou to carry out the system of deep drainage, we m oot afford you and others who an similarly situated any relief. sad to enable as to do that, we mud have the rates. In another case, that of a Mr. Watson, who was sum• atoned for son-payment of ante mewed upon a house near the Kennington sad of the Clapham-road, it was objected that, notwithstanding the cominissiown had carried out some works with the view of meeting a complaint previously advanced by the defaulter, that the surface drainage wu not carried off, and that his house was coasequently ren dered all but uninhabitable, the animate remained una bated. The surveyor enplaned that it was ia nasequenee of the low level on which the house was built, and the diffi culty therefore of &ening it into the Effra. Mr. Watson :41Srthat a very short connecting sewer would carry a desisage from his house and the adjoining property Wit the lower level sewer. The CMAISMAK—That is the sewer from the Kent dies tract, but that is already overcharged, and will not carry off sapling more. The rate must be paid. Mr. WATSON considered it very hard upon him to have to pay sewer rates when he derived no benefit from the moron. The Camara...2r said it was the duty of the commiirion to 'Vora the rata. It was impossible to meet the complaint of every individual, or to supply sewers to all the districts at mice. The total amount of the rate levied upon the district south of the Thames, which comprised 26 square miles, was 44,000/., while to provide sewers for the whole of that dis trict would cost more than 460,0001. I* some instances it was objected that the rate was Mused upon a higher rent than the property was charged for upon the poor rate. In the majority of these cases It appeared that poor-rates were compounded for, and the chairman explained that under the existing act the commis sion was bound to charge upon the valuation returned by the parish, not upon that which was paid upon to the poor tate—a composition. When the property was let to weekly tenants the commission had the power to compound at the rate of two-thirds the full valise. The remaining business war of a formal nature.

D 0.34 Mr esat.Pref Wows al ftsace... 5 6 pus 4i II I II 41Us I II pa I 1 tle 4 84 Ms The English stock market opened this morning at a further fall of 1 to 3 per cent., owing to intelli gence of the withdrawal of Lord Palmerston from the cabinet. A tendency towards a recovery, how ever, soon set in, and at the close, prices were only 1 per cent. worse than they closed yesterday. It is generally recognised that the withdrawal of this nobleman will prove a loss to the government at the present juncture, owing to the acknowledged talent displayed by him on all parliamentary emergencies. In well-informed quarters, however, it is not believed that the event in question will lead to many im portant modifications of the Cabinet. Although the proposed Reform Bill is so solicitously put forward by the Ministerial organs as the sole plea of Lord Palmerston's resignation, few persons are to be met with who are willing to believe that the Eastern question has nothing to do with it. Abroad, the event is very likely to be regarded as indicative of the triumph of the peace party in the Cabinet over a section supposed to be in favour of a more energetic policy ; and to this view some people have been dis poe to attribute the rally, although triflin , which is reported by telegraph as having occurred on the Paris bourse to-day. It is very probable, however, that the government may be induced by his lordship's asammies to lean more decidedly towards the more vigo reuseenree of policy which Lord Palmerston is currently understood to advocate, as by this means his opposi tion in the House of Commons on this important and popular question would be greatly counteracted. It is of course assumed that the value of such a ground of attack on the government as is involved in the coarse of matters in the East, will not fail to be speedily appreciated by the opposition; and upon this view is based an impression, that Lord Palmer ston's retirement may actually inaugurate a more energetic and anti-Russian pohcy. The Consol mar het, it may be observed, has derived much compara tive sapport from numerous purchases on account of operators for the fall, who, bearing in mind their losses by the late rise of Consols to a price einal to 97 (with the dividend), in spite of the menacing as pect of politics, are glad to cover their sales on any decline. But for this consideration the fall would probably have been more marked. Prior to the regular opening of the market Consols were quoted 931 to 94, but the first reliable quota tion was 931 to 941. An advance subsequently took place to 941 to 3, but at the close the market was again rather flatter in tone at 941 to I:ex div. for the opening of the 18th January. The official business re port ii as follows:—Three per Cent. Consols, for the opening, 18th January, 94, 94 1, ex div.; Three per Cent. Reduced, 943, 3,3, 3:3, a. Thre-and-a. Quarter per Cents., 951, 983,951, 963; Long Anna., 1880, 51; Bank Stock, 220. Money was in increased demand in the English stock market to-day at about 4 per cent. Exchequer Bills, owing to the demand for money in the Stuck Exchange, experienced a further decline of Is., closing 3a. to 61. prem. India Bonds ruled at par to 3s. prem. In the foreign stock market dulness prevailed. Both classes of Peruvian stocks fell U. per cent., owing to statements of revolutionary movements in that state. Since the publication of the despatches of the British admiral relative to the guano deposits this stock has shown weakness. Russian, Spanish, and Mexican stocks exhibit no change. At 4 o'clock Mexican Bonds were quoted 24: to a. Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 67 to 69; ditto Three 1 yttin Cents., 46 to 48. Sarinian, 90 to 92 ex div. ish Deferred, 22 to 4; the Certificates, sto 6 percent. Russian Five per Cents., 112 to 114; o Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 97 to 99. The list of sales is as follows:—Brazilian Old Five per Cent. Bonds, 98 ; aitto Small, 981. Buenos Ayres Six per Cents., 645. Equador Bonds, 51. Greek Bonds (Blue), 65, 61. Mexican Three per Cents., 241,1, 4; ditto for account, 30th Dec., 244. Peru vian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 67, 68 ; ditto for account, 67. Sardinian Five per Cents., 91, 911, 901. Spanish New Deferred Three per Cents., 221. Venezuela Three-and-a-Half per Cents. 31. Money for commercial purposes may be said to be easily obtainable, but there is still a good demand kr accommodation. We hear of first class short dated paper being discounted at 41 to 5 per cent., as the minimum rate " out of doors." There is still some inquiry for gold for remittance to the continent, but the gold brought in by the Victoria will not, in all probability, be deliverable be fore Tuesday. In the market for foreign exchanges this after noon business was too limited to have any material influence on the quotations, which genet ally remain at former rates. On Hamburg the rate remains at, 13.5 bills and money; on Amsterdam at 11.165; and on Paris 25.275 to 30 for three months, and 25.05 for short bills. On Vienna and Trieste the quotation was 11.32 to 35. Land shares to-day were quiet, at yesterday's prices. In Bank shares the transactions were also very limited. Crystal Palace shares closed rather firmer at 2 1-16 to 2 3-16 prem. The British American Land Company's shares maintain their late improvement. Peninsular and Oriental Steam ishares have been dealt in at 73. The annexed summary of the produce markets during the week is extracted from the circular of Messrs. W. J. and H. Thompson, issued this even- ing : _ There has been rather more business doing in colonial produce, and in some instances prices have improved. The public sales of sugar have gone off steadily, at full rates ; privately also there has been more inquiry. The native descriptions of Ceylon coffee have advanced to 485., being a rise of Is. per cwt., and for other sorts the market is firm. There has been more disposition to buy ries, at slightly en hanced quotations. The public sales of spice have been rather large, and nutmegs have declined fully 2d. per lb. In tea great flatness hat prevailed, and common smarm is quoted Id. per lb lower. Annexed are the latest reports from continental bourses, as received by Mr. Renter's express:— Amsterdam, Thursday, closing prices :—Dutch Four per Cents., 92Z ; ditto Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 61 11-16. Spanish Deferred Three per Cents., 21 7-16 ; the Coupons, ; the Old Three per Cents., foreign, 451. Austrian Five per Cent. Metallic., 761. Portuguese New, 36/. Mexican New, 22 iI-16 ex div. Granada Active, 2015-16; ditto De ferred, 8 1-16. Peruvian New, 651. Most of these prices show a decline. In Peruvian the fall is heavy. Paris—closing prices of this day: Three per Cent. Re ntes, 74.85; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents.,lol.lo; Bank shares, 2,940. These prices show a trifling rally, amounting to only Sc. to 10c., compared with the final rates of yesterday. The return of the Bank of England for the week ending Saturday, the 10th Dec., when compared with the previous return, shows the following results : , Circulation issue Circulation active 21,045,460 Decrease 160,340 Public deposits 10,027,166 Increase 2,367,242 Other deposits Government securities in Nanking department 15,043,730 Increase 1,421,691 Othersecurities in banking department Coin and bullion in both departments — 15,341,294 Increase 248,727 The Rest The Reserve (via , notes and coin in banking department) The suhjoiued exhibits the nature of the week's variations at one view : Public de paits—incremc £2,367,242 Other deposits—decrease Notes and bills in circulation — decrease 194,611 Rest—increase 6,191 ....... . _ Oa the other side of the scomutt : , Dover: matt rectoi:ier—iacrew 1,421,691 Other accurities—d-erratii CfAn and balud—luer• ass 1 Total... ...... 13,436,014 L 2,435,014 No. db.

Notwithstanding the unfavourable change which has taken place in the weather, vegetables are quite suMeient for the demand, and the same may be said of fruit. Late grapes are very good, more especially West's St. Peter's and Muscats. Pears still consist of Gloat Idorotau, Crassane, Chaumontel, Winter Nelis, &time d'Hiver, Monsieur le Cure, and Beane d'Aremberg. The demand for Cobs is rather better than it was last week. Chestnuts are plentiful. Potatoes continue to arrive from Scotland. Asparagus is coming in at from fis. to 10s. per hundred, and sesksle at from 3s. 6d. to 4s. 6tl per punnet.

Consols opened 94/ to 1, ex div. for the 18th January, as they closed yesterday, and after being temporarily:supported at an advance of 1 per cent., have since fallen back again to the first price of the morning. Business is very restricted. The Three per Cents. Reduced have been dealt in at 94$ to 94/ ; the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., at 961 to 96/ ; Exchequer Bills, at 3s. to 65. prem.; and India Bonds, at par. In the foreign stock market very few bargains have taken place. The chief feature is in Peruvian, which has again declined. The Four-and-a-Halt per Cents. have been sold at 64, and are now quoted 64 to 66, with little disposition to operate. Mexican is quoted 241 to $ ; and Spanish Deferred, 22/ to Z. The only other stocks in which business is marked are Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates, at 95$ ; Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., at 981 ; and Granada Deferred Bonds, at 8. MINES. --.- FRIDAY EVINING. The market for British mining stocks to-day has been quiet. South Devon Console shares maintain yesterday's price of 3 to 3 prem.
