Caledonians, Great Northerns, Great Westerns, Lancashire and Yorkshires, Brightons, North-Westerns, Midlands, and Berwicks aro all a shade dearer. Great Northern A and B shares have risen ss. each. French shares, in which there has been so much movement of late, participate in the prevailing in activity. THIS DAY.

On Monday evening last a very large meetin Leek place At Newport, Monmouthshire, convened by th e 's a yer, by requisition of 130 electors, to consider the elec tron of a proper candidate en the es enter. vacancy occurring in those beroulths, and to meet W.G. Lindsay, Esq., who was expected t. address the electors. Sir H. Hall, Hart., the it tome r attend representative,was invited to atte nel. The mayor Is absent for some days, the ex-mayor, Mr. Webb, trs.k the e!.air. Mr. Lindsay arrived at seven o'clock, ac gompano...l I.y a large party of gentlemen; among whom were Hall, Bart., M.P., J. A. Herbert, of Llanorth. , and es body of electors known as the " Mon ts-call le eincilska," who had arrived by invitation of their brother , lectors at Newport, to buses:sent on this interesting oCcasion. After th. usual preliminaries, JOSEPH CORABIE, Esq. mond the first revolution , which was seconded by Mr., Lint- thWAILDP, " That no candidate should be sup ported who would not vote fur a thorough reform in the repo dion of the people, based on extension of the suffrige, *me by ballot, free trade, and returns iu the adrui nistr-ti...1.4 the law, especially ehanceryand the Ecclesi astical t and would also vote for civil and religious liberty...ad re form in the management of church property lid tier abolition of church rates." A small minority of the meeting was opposed to the legi tiol-ita`Ohj. et in view vir., to afford Mr. Lind, .y an opp.r tunityof Addreming ;he electors, and much noise was made who attempted to speak; but the indignation of Ca nia e .rity was so great at the attempt to prevent their hearing the gentleman whom they had assembled to meet, that they overcame all opposition, and Mr. LINDSAY was heard while he detailed, is the clearest and most emphatic manner, has political principles, of which we need not say more than that they exactly agreed with the points named in the resolution. Mr. Lindsay wound up his address with a sketc , i of New sort as it is, and Newport me it ought to be, and might be, showing a perfect ac quaintance with the natural advantages of the port, and a clear perception of the manner in which those alvantag. s have hitherto been disregarded. He declared that in ai , his experience in the four quarters of the world he MClaahlialltllil a locality more periectil adapted by nature for - a port of the (list class of - Uusee; and be grieved to observe that at this moment it was not equal to Cardiff, and was also eclipsed by the naturally inconve;.i..it and inland port of Gloucester, merely front the want of energy and good management to make avail able the magnificent resources bestowed by nature. Mr. Lindsay concluded by elpreasing his desire to disabuse the electors of any false idea that might hare been promulgated with ail to himself either to his advantage or the re verse. II: was not the scion of a noble house (which his tame might lead them to imagine). Mr. Lindsay stated that Ii was a Presbyterian, but that his religious feelings were of the; nature that he never could say or feel with reference to a Ullow Christian, whether of the established church, Ro nne catholic, or dissenter, "I am holier than thou." (Chc ers.) One ur two questions were then put to him dative to the Itetium Itonum, &c., and he at once declared himself an ten my to all governin. ut grants for religious purposes, which he considered subversive of the religious freedom of the subj.rt. One of the tory party then appealed to the electors to ad journ Ow meeting, and t, take time before they expressed any opiaiin in favour of Mr. Lindsay. This proposal was 'insistently offensive to the majority. that a violent clamour arose, and cries fur " Sir Benjamin Hull to speak." The CHAIRMAN immediately declared that in consequence of the 'wk. he was compelled to dissolve the meeting, upon which J. Batchelor. Esq., was instantly voted into the chair, aril the cries for " Sir B. Hall " recommenced. Sir It insulin then rose, when a scene ensued which bugles iLs—iption. A member of the minority, ap trarntly to desperation on seeing the meeting tumid proceed as originally intended, leaped up, and di claret that " Sir Benjamin Hall should not be heard. " and instantly the opposition portion of the meet ing put in r.quisition cat-call, and similar instruments for making nisconlant sounds. Sir BeejAMill stood perfectly unmoved we about a quarter of an hour, is the midst of a din it is impossible to describe, merely übeerving, when a wsracni's pause enabled him to be head, that he " would be heard ; and that if those persona whose conduct was so dis,:raci fat, did not clioo:e to be quiet, the meeting would be adjoarind to the Westgate Hotel, from whence he would address the electors iu the street." Sir B. HALL, when silence was at length obtiined, re minded the electors of the time when he enfsanchi.eil those bureisith. and of the Wren, contests he had linight and won with M.'s' on liberal principles. Ile pointed out the state in which they had been previous to that period, and hinted that if the proacedings of some who were then present were to be taken as a specimen of the degree of freedom they now enjoyed it Rae eLar they had been going down bill very fast since he had e• ased to be their repretentative. They were told by a pai.l agent of the tory parties in that room that the matt wman they had invited as their old and faithful meads/ sod Mend should not be heard ; and, moreover, they had been told that the man who came there expressly ler the of declaring and making known to them his Stith opinions should not be heard, because it was be that these opinions were liberal, and this was said to diem '• by that man," the paid legal agent of the tory party (peMting emphatically to a legal gentleman present. gard to Mr. Lindsay, he could only say that he Laser seen that gentleman before the previous day, bat he had asked whether Mr. Lindsay was likely tieupport tio liln nil principles from which he (Sir B.

With respect to him self he (Sir B.

HENRY LADOI:CUERE. The commercial intercourse of Belgium with England has, since a long time, met with two kinds of obstruction, namely : 1. Exceptional port charges levied upon ships of countries not having reciprocity treaties with Great Britain, cherges which are not tne same in all English ports. 2. A surcharge of 20 per cent. established upon all goods a 'net in England under the Belgian flag. The order in , council, establishing this surcharge, bears date of 30th of ' Jan., 1826. The surcharges on the Belgian arrivals did not disappear with the navigation laws in 1810. Thus, Belgian ships, ex cluded from British ports by the heavy surcharges, could only, in transatlantic countries, take freights for the seceo dary markets of Europe. The same causes acted in the same manner in the intercourse between Erwland and Bel gium; goods being subject to an additional 20 per cent. if imported by Belgian ships, forced Belgian shippers to give the prefercuce to British or privileged ships. The chief difficulties in dealing with this state of filings arose 1. From the Belgian system of differential duties. 2. From their import regulations as to the entry of fish. 3. From their legislation upon the salt trade. Aecordiug t, the clauses of the new treaty, Belgian ships are discharged from the exceptional port charges in Great Britain, and their cargoes are freed from the surcharge of 20 per cent., which lay upon them. Both stipulations apply to direct or indirect arrivals, and to British colonies as well as to the mother country. On she other hand, in respect of port charges, Belgium agrees, as refers to port charges, to assimil de English ships to its own, without distinction of voyages—in this the treaty is in fact nothing but to con firm reciprocity. As refers to Customs, Belgium assimilates completely British ships to its own, in the direct trade between the two countries and colonies, with the exception, however, of salt and the fisheries, and the exceptions mentioned here after. Belgium assimilates, moreover, British ships to its own, in the case of imports bcyor.d Englandand its colonies. except so far as certain reserved goods, such as cabinet and dyewoods, rice, sugar, coffee, tobacco, cotton, fruit, olive oil, sulphur, salt, and fish are concerned, which will be subjected to differential duties. With reference to Trans atlantic countries, there will be no more distinction of Transatlantic countries of origin and Transatlantic countries of entrepot. Therefore, a. The differential duties of origin remain only upon 10 articles. k There is only one privileged class upon each article. c. From this privilege of origin the Belgian flag is ex cluded in the arrivals from British colonies, where the Bel gian flag is put on the same footing as the British. The differential duty protecting the Belgian flag in the importation of salt is left at one-third of its former rate. The treaty assimilates the two flags for the importation of fish of foreign take, bat reserves to the national fisheries on both aides at exemptions and premiums, die., Risen by the laws of each country. Of 115,000 tons goods exported from Belgium in 1850 to England, only 26,000 were sent under the Belgian flag ; and of 74,000 tons which have come from England to Bel gium, the share of the Belgian flag was 33,000 tons, almost exclusively salt. The transit through Belgium of goods for England has, in 18.10, undergonea reduction of more than 4,000,000 f., and the transit of goods coming from England a reduction of 16,000,0001. This is a strong indication of a new state of things, and ought to convince thaw. who contested the ur gent necessity of liberating the Belgian transit from every obstruction. ACCIDENT TO SIR DAVID BAIRD.—WC are sorry to learn that Sir David Baird, Bart, of Newhyth, met with a serious accident while bunting ou S tturday with Lord Eleho's hounds. Sir David had, we understand, dismounted to remove some obstruction in a fence, when a stake struck his horse and caused him to fling, and the blow falling on Sir Dsivid's leg, broke it.—Kelso Mail. DIOCESAN MEETING OW TILE CLERGY OF OXON.— The following question+ are, it is stated, to be sub mitted to the clergy of the diocese of Oxford, invited to meet their bishop at Cuddesden I. Can wo agree upon any rules touching the administration of baptism which may tend to promote uniformity of practice, and to awaken our people's attention to the importance of the. holy ordinance ? 2. Can we agree upon any fixed times for baptism ; e. g. after the second lesson in all cases on one fixed Sunday in each month; and with what adaptations, if any, to the needs of populous places? 3. Can we agree ou any rules—first, fur requiring notice of baptism according to the rubric ? and secondly, for refusing sponsors of openly immoral life ? 4. Ilow can we best bring home to the sponsors a sense of their duties connected with—first, the ordinance of baptism; secondly, the education of the children; and thirdly, their confirma tion ? 3. How eon we best carry out the intention of the canonical prohibition cf parcuts being sponsors? 6. What modes can be adopted for awakening and directing a sense of parental authority touching holy baptism ?" MILITARY COdTUNlE.—Rumours arc current in the purlieus of the Horse Guards, of important changes (not until much wanted) in the costume of the army. The heavy cavalry dross will, it is understood, undergo a com plete revision at the next issue of clothing. The absurd tailless jacket is to be exchanged for a frock coat, loosely made about the sleeves, and with no other ornament than the row of butteus destined to connect one side of the coat with the other. The brass shoulder scales, as useless as inconvi nient, arc to be abolished ; the authorities having, at length, discovered that they press disadvantageously on the sword arm. The new helmet is to fit the head closely, and to be no larger than it need be. The "swinging horse tail at each valorous back " is to be discontinued, as is also the huge black muff, weighing several pounds, which is at present stuck upon the heads of grenadier life-guardsmen, and which, during the dog-days more especially, makes them the objects of everybody's sympathy. It is impossible to conceive any costume less picturesque, or more use lessly absurd, than much of our military dress and ac coutremems. If any reform he introduced, it ought to be a sweeping one.—Art Journal. WRECK OF VIE TTENDENAG.t.—In Monday's Express was briefly reported the loss of the Tycudenaga, Mr. Lewis E. Rudolf, commander, while on a voyage from Quebec to London. The wreck, which was of the most ap palling character, took place on the Caribou Island, near l'oiut du Mont, and ended in the loss of 17 (not as stated, 27) of her crew. Tho ship left Quebec about the 12th ult., but, in consequence of some misunderstanding with the ' crew, she was detained until the 17th ult., when, other hands being procured, she set sail with a light favourable wind from the westward,which continued with her down the St. Lawrence to the Gulf. Ou the evening of the 21st, Point de Mout was observed bearing N.N.E. ten miles distant, and in the morning Cape Chat was sighted, distance ten miles, S.S.E. The wind then sprang up, and gradually increased, and on the evening of the 22nd it blew a violent gale. The sea was running very high, and, to add to the difficulties of the crew, the weather was exceedingly cold, with a heavy hill of snow. Several poor fellows were sent aloft to furl the foretopsail, but the gale having increased to a perfect storm, and the fall of snow, hail, and sleet becoming thicker, they, after two hours' struggling, were compelled to abandon the task. The fury of the gale and sea then threw the ship on her broad side, and the waves making a clean sweep over her, the crew suffered severely from the intensity of the cold. As the night advanced, their sufferings became more severe. The storm increased iu violence, and fur several hours the ship lay on her broadside, with the sea breaking over her. About 2 o'clock in the morning an attempt was made to wear her. In doing so, however, the rudder was ren dered unmanageable, and ere the injury could be made good a heavy sea struck the vessel and hurled her on her beam ends. An order was then given to cut away the topmasts, but the tools had been washed overboard. The master and live of his men who had sought refuge in the main rigging were carried away by a sea which dashed over the vessel. The muster was thriven on the lee side of the poop, and suc ceeded in regaining the mizen-rigging,but nothing was after wards seen of the five men, who unhappily perished. By this period the ship had struck heavily. Several of the Brow se ' cured themselves to the fore and main rigging, and others lashed themselves to the mizenmast. Some ten minutes or so after she had struck the maium.lft was carried away close to the deck, forcing with it in its fall the mixentopmast, foretopmast, and jibboom, when all the unhappy creatures who had sutured themselves on these spars were thrown overboard, and as quickly perished. so attempt could be made to preserve them. Daylight disclosed the position of the wreck. The decks had been completely swept, bulwarks, stanchions, spars, bolts, &c., being all gone. The master, near whom a poor creature hail perished in the rigging in the course of the night, coeld not see any of the crew, but the sea somewhat moderating, he contnved to get to the poop, when he observed a man lashed to the mizenmast, and the two mates near him. They then se cured themselves on the lee side of the mizenmast, and at low water they got to the topgallant forecastle, and dis covered there sheltered two men and a boy. There they remained fur two or three hours, and at the flow of the tide the sea again began to beat over the wreck. They then removed themselves to a more safe position outside the rail, when the ship began to break up. Her bottom was knocked out, and larboard side carried away, with portion of the poop, Se. Some of her cargo was also being washed up. The preservation of the remainder, of the crew, who were clinging to the wreck, then became some what doubtful. At length some of the natives (Indians) of the island, who had appt.rently observed the poor creatures, made two large fires ou the coast, and gave other signals for them to leave. They accordingly determined upon making a desperate effort to reach the shore, and, although much exhausted, they jumped into the sea and struggled as well as Feasible towards the beach. The serf carried them inwards, and the Indians being prepared to meet them, they were all dragged ashore. Al it was, however, one of the men and a boy nearly perished from exhaustion, and but tor the aid of the natives they would have been lost. The survivorswere then treated in the most friendly manner on the Leland, the natives furnishing them with dry clothes, hot tea, and such refreshment as they had. On the follow ing day it was learned that the bodies of 12 of the unfortu nate creatures who bud perished had been washed ashore some three nr four miles trona the place of the wreck. The master, with the remainder of the crew, and a party of Indians proceeded to the spot, and digging a large grave, the bodies were duly interred. Nothing, however, was seen of the other five. the natives deveribed the gale to have been one of the most severe that had been experienced there for some time. The sea, it seems, was so high as to break over the tower of the Lighthouse at Cape de Mont. The sun vivors were taken off the island by • schooner which happened to touch at the place of wreck, and were conveyed by her to Quebec. The Tyendenaga was a new vessel. the following are the names of those who perished:— John Smith, George Percy, Joseph Nicholson, Thomas Templeton, John M'Neilly, Richard Wilmot, William Glenville, John Smith, William Patterson, Edward Bailey (coloured).

"10, Half Moon-street, Picadilly, Dec. 19,18.51. i " Sir,-1 have received your kind letter of yesterday, in viting me, in the name of the Mayor of Southampton and a numerous body of the merchants and others connected with your port, to a public dinner there, on such a day as may ' suit my convenience. In consequence of my short stay in England, and accumulated business, I have been compelled to decline similar requests from other points in your country, prior in date to yours. It is with extreme regret that I feel constrained to forego the pleasitre of dining with the mayor , and merchants of Southampton. There is no one in Eng land for whom I entertain more respect and esteem than the Mayor of Southampton. This feeling is (general in America, ' and embraces your worthy, intelligent, liberal, and patriotic citizens, from whom we have received so many marks of kindness and regard. It is quite true, as referred to by you, that, as a member of this American cabinet, I was an advo cate of that great steam communication which now so hap pily unites various points of your country with my own. It was a most beneficial system, and I hope it is destined to great and successful enlargwenta„ I thank you also for the kind and cordial esiatobi sett have been pleased to express in regard to my country. It is most clearly the interest and duty of England and America to encourage and maintain the most friendly relations. In some remarks, heretofore made by me at your city, I took occa sion to express the opinion that a neighbouring republic, so called, based upon half a million of bayonets, and a state of siege, would soon be merged in absolute or imperial power. Those pre lictions ore already fulfilled ; and 1. ranee is now passing into a government more military and despotic than any that prevails in Europe, because it is purely the govern ment of the army, and of a single chief. Already this fear ful change is hailed with delight by all the despotic powers, and especially by Russia, Austria, and Naples. The conti nent has become deep. tic, except a few remaining point*, which arc already menaced, and where the light of liberty, it is feared, will soon be extinguished. These islands alone remain to breast the fury of despotic power, uud already it is intimated that it may Income) necessary to re establish against England the continental system of the first Napoleon. The principle of the despots powers will be this, that Eng land must refuse 411 asylum to the exiled victims of conti nental oppression, and that she must abandon the liberty of speech and of the press. The question I fear, will soon be pronotindeil to England—Will you relinquish all the prin ciples of free government, and sink quietly into the abyss of despotism? Or will you manfully resist, and if so, when, and how, and where, are you willing to begin the resistance ? Will you wait until every free government is overthrown on the Continent ? Or, when the principle of armed intervention from abroad announces its determi nation to subvert these governments, will you then interfere for your own security, and whilst yet you may have friends nail allies upon the continent? Should the latter be your wise and patriotic resolve, and should you, in th at event, desire the co-operation of my country, it will be given by the government, and sustained by the people, with zeal and unanimity. I know nothing, since the days of the Cru• miles, that could excite in America a feeling so deep, uni versal, and enthusi retie, or which would call out so many millions, if necessary, of my countrymen, as an invitation from you, to your children in America, to tight together the last great triumphant battle for the liberties of man. It would be a certain and an easy victory, achieved chiefly by the naval forces of Englond and America; and, succeed ing this victory, there would then be enduring peace and extended commerce. Indeed, I doubt not, that if England and America would inform the continental despots that they must not intervene beyond their own limits to over throw other governments, merely because they were free, that such an annunciation would arrest their march in ISM as it did in 1820, and accomplish the same result without the necessity of war or bloodshed. Be pleased to present to the mayor and to the worthy merchants and citizens of Southumpton, who have united in this invitation, my most sincere thanks, and accept for yourself, my dear sir, re newed assuranc^s of my regard and esteem.—Yours most faithfully, R. J. WALKett.--Charles E. Deacon, Esq., &c., Town Clerk." REPRESENTATION OF PLYMOUTII.—Mr. G. T. Braille, deputy-chairman of the Eastern Steam Navigation Company, and director of the Plymouth Great Western Dovis, has issued an address to the electors of this borough, offering himself as a candidate for its representation. He states that he is, by education and conviction, en advocate of free trade, while in matters of general policy his views arc in accordance with those of the Liberal party ; that he is warmly attached to the Church of England, and opposed to any concession of spiritual or temporal power to the Church of Rome. MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A SPECIAL PLEADER.- Ye,tmlay morning Mr. J. Douglas, a special pleader, who resided at No. 3, Garden-court, Temple, was found dead in his chamber, having a deep wound in his head. It appears that the deceased was a bachelor, and on his return home on Christmas eve, he remained in his sitting-room for sonic time, and it is supposed that on retiring to his bedroom ho war seised with vertigo, and fat against the key in the door lock ;when the key intlictcd:the wound. On the laundress ar riving in the morning she called Mr. Hutchinson, surgeon,of Chancery. lane, but life had heeu extinct above li.df an hour. The deceased was about sixty year of age. Ilad there been a bell with which the unfortunate gentleman could have alarmed the watchman, Lis life might have been saved, as it is conjectured that he must have had sufficient power when the wound walreceived to have dune so; such means of communication are much required in these chambers. ISTIIIICS OF PANAMA.—WC yesterday stated that Dr. Cullen, who has recently made a new survey of the Isthmus of Darien, has returned home in the Avon. The more recent inve,tigations, made on the isthmus by Dr. Cullen, have brought to light the very important fact that • wide tract of entirely low and level land extends from Port Escoces, ou the Atlantic coast of the isthmus, to the river Savona. This river, which falls into the Gulf of San Miguel on the Pacific, is navigable for 16 miles and upwards frum its mouth for vessels of the greatest draught of water, and there would ri main only to deepen eight miles of its upper course, and to cut nine miles from the river to Port Escoces, over low and level land, in order to form a canal communication between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. This projected canal route, front the excellence of the harbours on each side, its shortnes, and the low eleva tion of the country, presents facilities which no route hitherto proposed can offer. The amount of work to bo done is considerably less than that which yet remains to be done on the repaint' railroad. Tug. ISCO3IE-Tax IN TUE CITY OF LONDON.—\o- ' lice was issued yesterday at the different churches through ' out the City that the Commissioners for General Purposes hate appointed Wednesday next, the 31st inst., at 11 o'clock in the forenoon, to hear and decide appeals at their office, 26, Ilatinghall-street, from parties belonging to the different wards within the a,s4 city who consider themselves aggrieved by an over-assessment under schedule 1) of the Property and Income Tax Act, ath and 6th Victoria, cap. 3.5, for the year ending the pith day of April 1832 with re spect to profits arising from trades, otlice., sc., chargeable under the above act. - - -• How TO PROCURE RAIN.—A letter from ileyroUt, in the 09seroatore Triestilw ' states that the Ottoman go vernment has ordered every Slussulnian to pray ter rain on account of the great drought, and gives the tut:owing des cription of the ceremony: Every good Muhometan procured a vine branch w ith 10 leaves upon it ; he then recites a verse of the Koran over each leaf. The vine branch is then rolled up, secured to a packthre aad cast into the sea, to be drawn out when it shall have rained sufficiently. -- • --- EXTRAORDINARY CREDULITY.—On TROMIIIy, Win. Manning Jay and Mary Anne Mears were brought before the borough magistrates at Weymouth, on several charges of baring obtained money from Mary Palmer, Mary Randall, and :we other females, named Goff (sisters), ou false pre• tences, by means of telling fortunes. It appeared that they hadconjointly received, at different times, moneys to a very large araJunt, iz., from Palmer, money and other property upwards of 601. in value • of Randall, upwards of 40/. ; and from the sisters doff, from one 20, and the o ther, the youngest, 141., promising the parties the acquision of hundred pounds in return. A lengthened investigation took place, occupying the whole of Tuesday and Wednesday. The Guildhall was crowded on both days. A more extensive system of low cunning, accompanied by tile most spacious promises of im mense remuneration by large fortunes was never practised on credulity. Jay personated various characters, at dif ferent times, according to circumstances, sometimes a lawyer, thr a the lawyer's clerk ; working on misguided fe males, they (Jay and Mears) have carried on their system most prosperously, it appears, for the last three or four years. We regret to add that there arc numerous parties in this town and in Voriland who have been victims to their inveigling plans of procedure to an enormous extent, but who are now ashamed to come forward, for fear of exposing the ease with which they have been duped by the gloxing wiles of the old Sybil and her paramour. They were bath committed to the county gaol for trial at the ensuing ses sions.—Sherborne Journal. ALARMING FlRE.—Lnat night, at a quarter past 10 o'clock, a fire broke out in the premises belonging to Mr. Risen, un engineer, at No. 20, Waterloo-road, Luulx.th. The flames originated from, it is supposed, a spark flying from a lighted candle and settling upon a bed in the first floor back. Mr. Elson and Mason rushed into the blazing apart ment for the pupate of rescuing a little girl from the flames and subduing the fire. Iu so doing, however, both tho father and sun were severely scorched, rind the girl was much burnt. The West of England engine promptly at tended, and plenty of water having been procured, the in mates succeed , . A sulatuiog the llama, but not until con aiderable damage was done. Two o•Choex. The resumption of business in the Stock Exchango can only be said to be partial, as ninny of the mem bersare availing themselves of the holiday season. Tho feeling of the market generally remains very firm, and prices have not only recovered from the temporary weakness induced by the ministerial crisis here, but have experienced nn additional improvement of 1. There was a further fall on the I'aris Bourse on Wednesday afternoon, by which the quotation of the Five per Cent. Itentes was re duced to only a shade above par, but little import is attached to the movement, us the settlement of the heavy account on that Bourse is now beginning to influence operations. From the extraordinary ex tent of the ziso and the magnitude of the operations the settling will engage a large amount of attention, and a considerable degree of fluctuation may possibly occur prior to its final completion. Console opened at Wednesday's closing price of 96f to 97 ex div. for the 16th January, end are now 1 higher, at 97 to h, with a quiet appearance. The only operation of any importance is another invest ment by the government broker ha the Tlesee,per, Cents. Reduced. To-day's official business report i s as follows: Three per Cent. Consols for account, 961, 971 ; Three per Cent. Reduced, 971, ; New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents., 9S t, Bank Stock, 215 f. There is . rt marked rise in Exchequer Bills, which are in increased request, with the quotations firm at Ms. to 51s. premium. India Bonds participate in the improved feeling, but the only transaction of the morning is at 61s. prem. In the Foreign Stock market the movement is confined to Spanish Stocks, in all of which a disposition to operate has been evinced, inducing a considemblo advance. For other descriptions the market remains good, though with comparatively nothing doing: The sales of the morning are as follows :—Bratilian Old Five per Cent. small bonds, 95. B e l g i an Four and-a-Half per Cents., 92 Chilian Six per Cents., 1004. Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates, 89;, 90. Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1024. Spanish Active Five per Cents., 21, ; ; ditto for account, 31st Dec., 211, I; dittto Old Three per Cents. for account, 401, 41;; ditto New Deferred Three per Cents., 16. f. There is very little business doing in the gold mining shares, and quotations remain as before. The share list in detail hi subjoined :—Agua Fria, Ito 11 prem. ; West Mariposa, die. to par ; Nouveau Monde, I to prem.; Ave Maria, -, dis. to par: Golden Minintain,ipar to 1 prem. ; Anglo- California, 1 to 1 , prem. ; British Australian 1 to prem. - Generally the railway traffic returns for the last week now in course of publication present a conti nuous satisfactory comparison with last year, though in one or two instances, including the London and North Western, on which there is a decrease) of 2,834/.,. the contrast with the figures for the corresponding period of 1850, is not so favourable. For the year, however, the ag gregate receipts of this great line are no less than 1,370,4911. nguinst 1,159,939/. last year. Next week's returns will show the increased movement usual at the Christmas-tide. tiNOLIBII IV I DS.—Teie DAT. Rant Ptnek. 2141 1,:.. Isms .1. Ith s, shut 3 per et.

There was no alteration in the value of either English or forcign Wheat in Mark-lane this morning; the market, in consequence of the, holidays, was very thinly attended, and the lew transactions which took place were at present prices.) Flour supported Monday's quotations. In Barley, Beans, and Peas very little business wa4 trans. acted, and quotations must be considered nominally the same as at the beginning of the week.

SPOTS ON TILE SUN.—Through the fog which pre vailed in Manchester yesterday, between two and three o'clock in the afternoon, two spots were visible on the sun's disc to the naked eye.
