Toward* the coaclusion of business shares rallied a little, bat it was not till after the close at 3 o'clock that the real nature of the resolution of the Syndical Committee was unit. ratan by the general public, and t hen many an unfortunate dabbler, who would gladly have had his shares back again, found that it was too late. As it imartal , ly happens, the strong speculators had pro gted by the fears of the weak, and prices were up agaltl. the truth turned out to be that the Stock Exchuti4e Committee had not made any new ;rule at sll,but had merely intimated their intention of in sisting upon the observance of one muck in ISM, which has been for some time practically disregarded. According to this rule, which is now to be enforced after the next account day, Ike. la, every stock broker must keep a numbered list of his clients. This list is to be at all times open to the inspection of the Byudical Cummitu c, wha. whenever they think any account too heavy, may call upon the broker himself to deposit 1.19 Cr. per share as a guarantee to the " house." Thus the extent of confidence which the broker may choose to repose in his client will be left, at heretofore, to his own judgment. It is evi dent th.it a rule of this kind is not likely to be so acted :upon as to impede legitimate business, and it is to be feared that the rule will not materially check the course of unsound speculation. The "yeas de elm nye arc much mem distrustful than the London stock brokers. 'files do habitually exact eau t ion-money before they will do business for any one with whose means they We nut well acquainted. They are rich, and their profits have for a long time been enormous. The revival it the regulation of IS-15 is no doubt an indication that the Stock Exchange sena crisis im pending, but it is looked upon more than anything else, as a des ice to serve as an excuse for the brokers to demand security from clients whom they might, but fur ibis warning voice, have feared to offend by asking for it. Thu inislortune of a stimulative (cur in Paris, is not so ntach that -stags she have nothing, contrive to get crc it and ruin the brokers, but that small ca pitalists. people is his in ordinary times are saving and industrious, bring their little all to the gambling mart, : a nd reduce thetuselves to beggary. At the present moment the mania for playing at the Bourse is raging with fearful inte:.sity. It infects all clauses of society. 'the jargon of the Stock Exchange caches one's car as you walk along the street. At fable I bales, in the saloons of the theatn w eqlno, and public places where political eon ecrsatiou tr interdwted, " premiums." " discounts," and " currying over" form the staple of convents Ilion. lu private houses little else is talked of. Person-, habitually prudent, are so im pressed with *h.• belief that an era of ontrarallel pros perity is it hand, that they disdain all ordinary veitnirtes, and rush to buy shares. Nothing is more emotion titan to hear it asserted that the gold front CAl:tonna and Australia will put everything to rights, and pi vent the reaction which has succeeded former periods ul speculation. The Piece de la Bourse daily pwsents a ratio*. spectacle. 'ihe steps of the Each Inge are all day crowded with men, enster big thick trizethur, like a swarm of bees, who cannot find Juan in the inside of the building. All round the immense square may be seen groups in every variety of costume, dandies, from ILe boulevards, clerks, shop-keepers, water car rkni„ workmen in blouses from the faubiargr, bracer. and farmers wives in nondescript dresses, from the cmantay around Palls, old ladies in caps, and "dames de la ladle" in jewels, all anxionaly bent upon making their fortunes. The excitement is so great that every one talks to his or her wares: inighlnur, and loud lamentations are con tinually heard about golden opportunities lost, owing to the fault of the broker. The burning fever of political excitement which the government has for a time effectually quelled, seems to have broken out in • soother form. When the crash comes, the disap pointed seekers of riches by these irregular miens nay perhaps be found fully as dangerous as the dreamt disciples o' socialism. I IlAbcfel-litder left Paris for Ambeite yesterday wailing to previous arrangement. The hour of his departure was kept as secret as possible to prevent the assemblage of a crowd at the (Meese railway station. lie arrived there at 2 o'clock, accompanied by Commandant Boimonnet and the two Arabs who arrived with him in Paris. -7 do • the I is moron Republic of the 29th says that 11r.

'I ho Falcon steamer arrived at New Orleans from California on the 27th, bringing 300,000 dollars in gold, &c. In speaking of mining, the Placer Herald says:— We learn that a number of mining companies on the Placer side of the Middle Fork are doing extremely well, and some of them making big strikes. The Sub Marine Company, numbering thirteen men. were averaging over 3,000 dela. per day at last accounts, and have reached as high as j,OOO dole. in in one day. The Macatee Company numbers three men, and is averaging 3,000 dub. per week. We understand that a number of the Franklin Mining Company at French Gulch, Shasta county, has written to a friend in the city, that some lucky miners recently dug a piece of gold weighing fifteen pounds and three ounces there recently, and that on the same day a lump of pure gold weighing sixteen ounces, was dug at the came place. From the most liable source we learn that at White Hoek, on Feather river, within the past ten days, the White Rock Company, numbering twenty members, have taken out of aCoifer-dam 22,000 dots.; the Smith Company, numbering nine members, 14,000 dole.; and the Jones Company, numbering five members, during the past four weeks, 30,000 dots, All the miners are reported as doing well. A meeting of the citizens of Marysville was to be held, for the purpose of considering the propriety of taking action on the subject of building a railroad from that city to Benicia. The San Francisco Union says there is now on exhibition at the banking house of Mills, jowir-end, and Co., a lump of gold, recently taken out at Downieville, which is one of the largest and hand somest ever found in California. This splendid spe cimen is nearly pure, and weighs two hundred and four ounces and three dollars. The same firm have also another lump, perfectly pure, which weighs 500 dollars, dug near the same spot as the above. The accounts from every portion of the mining region are cheering. In none of the river diggings do we hear complaints of failure, as in 18-19. The same bars that are now being flumed were then worked by thousands damming them, and in most cases without success. The change would seem to be necessarily owing to the present improved methods of working. In the Canadian Assembly, Mr. Young moved a free trade resolution in opposition to differential duties. It was debited, but without result. Great excitement has been suddenly produced at Quebec, in consequence of several deaths having occurred from cholera.

There was an investment in Consols at 1001 on government ac count, but 1001 to ' was the price current during the greater part of the day ; and al,hough 1001 to 1 is officially reported as the closing price, the after hoses' quotation was only 1001 to : for money and I to-morrow, and 1001 for the 9th Dect•mbcr. The settlement of the account is in progress, and excites little attention. Unfavourable rumours were circu lated relative to the presumed contents of the Queen's Speech, but it does not appear that they are deserving of attention. Bemuse was not extensive, and comprised the undermentioned stocks, according to the official re2ort :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 1001, 1, ; ditto for account, 1001, 1. Three per Cent. Iteduoecl, 991, 4 , e. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., iO3&, 3,1, 3. Long Annuities, 1860, 6 7-16; ditto 30 years, 1860, 61. India Stock, 274, 2731. Bank Stock, 2231,, 223. The market for the fl o ati ng d e bt is du ll. Tho March Exchequer Bills were supported at 735. to 765. prem., but the June issue was offered at 725. premium, or ls. decline. India Bonds were sold at 84s. and 83s. prem. Business in the foreign bond market is pretty equally distributed over the various money stocks, there being little speculation. Mexican bonds opened firm, bat closed only 23 to ,t. Turkish scrip was decidedly firmer, being last done at 21 prem., and leaving off 2to 21 prem. This rally is in a con siderable measure due to the notice issued by Messrs. C. Devaux and Co., in which they state that, so soon as they have got through their Paris business in con nexion with the loan, they will call a meeting of the scripholders, at which every information may be had, and a committee appointed for the protection of the holders. This is certainly a step that must be taken, and will tend considerably . to restore confi dence. To-day's list of sales is as follows : Brazilian Old Five per Cent. Bonds, 101, 1 ; ditto Small, 1001; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Scrip, 11 prem.; ditto Five per Cents., 1843, 103, 1. Bue nos Ayres Six per Cent., 811.

The value of this import is about 192,000!. There has been a rise in the price of gold at Paris within the last day or two. The present price is 23 le 3 prem. per mills. English sovereigns are worth 111. 20c. to 23e. The exchange at short on London is quoted 23.171. A considerable feature of the stock exchange busi es. to-day was a most severe fall in French shares. TM market for these securities was in a most excited state throughout the day, fluctuations of large amount and succeeding each other with extraordi nary rapidity. This movement was in continuation of the panic on the Paris bourse yesterday, which was ocessiosed by the issue of a notice by the agens de change that they will require additional security from their clients in future before they will consent to do busi ness for them. This resolution, directed so evidently against the vast number of time-bargain speculators in French shares, has produced a strong effect, as its direct consequence must be a reduction in the num ber of buyers, the weaker "bulls" being compelled to suspend operations. Realisations, with a view to avoiding the enormous rates lately paid for carrying over, must thus be rendered necessary, and conse quently a large proportion of the supporters of the market will be withdrawn. The measure is one that the ages. cannot be blamed for adopting, as they have of course a perfect right to protect them selves, and any sudden reaction in the market, looking at the wide ramification of the spirit of speculation in Paris, would other wise have exposed them to the risk of heavy loss, consequent upon the default of their principals. The step in question, moreover, is merely the revival of an old statute. The check thus . given will probably prove a very salutary one, as it will throw a damp to a considerable extent upon the gambling spirit that has lately become so rife on the bourne; but additional anxiety has been excited amongst parties interested, owing to its beiog surmised that the arms de change are expecting a reaction in the mar ket, and preparing themselves for it in season. It is ' also understood that the regulation is to apply, with esstain modifications, to the dealings in Rentes. The wet and succeeding settlement on the Paris bourse will be regarded with a good deal of interest. Here 8001 e. large " bull" accounts were sold out in the course of the day, and upon this operation Ming completed, there was a partial rally. It is believed, however, that the "house," which is a Meer by the French share speculation, has done its beet to keep down the market. It may be of interest to quote the last after-hour prices, which stand thus: Northern of France, 331 to 1; Strasbourg, 341 to 53; Beziers and Graissessac, 13 to 1 prem.; Bor ' deaux and Ccdte, 6 to 61 prem.; Grand Junction, 3: to 3 3 prem.; Cherbourg, 6to 61 prem. ; Paris and Lyons. 191 to 1 prem.; Western of France, 81 to 91 prem.; }toilet' and Havre, 20 to 21. The Chilian government has issued a decree per mitting the import, free of duty, of all articles re quired for the establishment of gas works for public purposes. The return of the Bank of Vienna, as made up to the 31st Oct., shows the amount of coin and bullion to be 43,521,007 florins, whilst the notes in circula tion were 200,653,170 dories. The changes exhi bited in this return aro not great. The prices of stock at Amsterdam on Tuesday are thus reported by telegraphic express :—Dutch Four per Cents., 93 7-I6ths; ditto Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 631 ; Spanish New Deferred Three per Cents., 23 ; Mexican New, 231; Portuguese New, 38; ; Austrian Five per Cent.

There was no new feature is the stock market to-day, all the leading securities were fins and in demand. We annes a list of the sales, as well an prices asked ar.d cffered for the various stocks. A further decline has taken place in the price of bills on England. We learn that the leading drawn, to-day ask 10 per cent. premium, at which rate large remittances will be made for Saturday's steamer. The dechue ari.es from the large arnountof eschange drawn at New Orleans, Mobile and other southern porta, against the shipment of cotton. It Is probable that the.rate for sterling bills will shortly recede to 9f, at which price no coin will be exported. We quota London 1091 to 110; Paris 5.121 to 6.15; Ams•erdam 411 to 41) ; Authors 361 to 361 ; Bremen 791 to 79, . The rate for sterling bills in New Orleans, early this week, was 8) per cent., to which add 11 for loss on New York sight exchange, and the ceet is about 91 here. COTTON.-Sinee the sailing of the last steamer we have had a dell market prith duly sales of 400 to 600 bales. In price there has been no other change than a turn in buyer.' favour. The favourable advice. per Washington and Niagara, both to hand since our last, have produced no effect, neither will a continuance of such accounts by the next and succeeding steamers, plea meanwhile we are satisfied on this aide that the probable extent of the coming crop is correctly understood abroad. The question is no longer an open one, depending on frost; the fruit has all matured, and with a dry picking season there can be no other limit than the capacity of the country pick. The telegraph of the 27th from New Orleans reports re ceipts 76,1100 bales ahead of same time last year--strict middling. 94. No sales, although several hundred bales were disposed of at easy rates, were reported today, as all places of business closed early, in accordant.e with the gene ral feeling, as expressed through the city authorities, in testimony of respect to the memory of our late lamented Secretary of State-Deuiel Webster.

The weather for the het few days has been wct and sultry, the atmosphere, ores out of doors, being unusually warm. Last night, about 10 o'clock, the sky was very dark, with huge black streaks extending from the west to the east. Nothing unusual was, however, heard till this morning, when, wording to all the accounts we have heard, about half-pat 4 o'clock persons in all parts of the town, but more especially in the outskirts end at Birkenhead, felt • rocking or heating of the earth. la nem cases persona were awoke from a sourd sleep, and Jumped on the fluor, expecting an attack from gem seabiabal waswadas ; in other cases children screamed W bid defer been wader the bed-clothes, while, in • leo 11116111111111, peeve la bed simply felt a kind of rocking motion, like that of a medic bed. The thermometer is on liemally high for the NMI of the year, and during the night Ike barometer rote nearly • quarter ot the circle, although bury rain bad fallen. Mr. J. M. Clarke, of Sun-street, says—" I am not very assemia el the precise time, but I had heard the kitchen desk realb• either lour or five a little before I experienced • eameibm es of something shaking the entire house, ac ampanied by a very subdued rumbling ; the bed shook so IBM I pawed it, quite startled; but it was over in • and a was still." Ma. of Oloucesterplace ' Bdge-hill, mays— "l mee mkt morning, about half-past four o'clock W a load miss and • tremulous motion of the house. As age I *min it wu occasioned by the cat, who bed decked something down upon the fluor:" Mr. Shaw, of Seaforth, says be heard the rumbling noise distiaatly. It awoke him, and he thought at first that it eau boa the felling of something on the door above. ble. Beauchamp, of Bootle, heard the noise between tour and twe o'clock; and when he got up he found that his clock had been stopped by the vibrating motion. A gentleman in Tometh-park was awoke by the noise, and got up quite bewildered. Ile looked at his watch, and found it was halt peat four o'clock. Mr. Stodart, who lives in Toxteth-park, near Prince's• park, says he heard five or six distinct vibretiona. At first the rolling noise was long, and then daring each succeeding .hock the noise became more faint and gradually died away. The motion of the bed was like that of a swing cradle. The people who live next door jumped out of bed, and • young women, their daughter, crept under the bed clothes is • state of alarm. Mr. Chadburn, 0f1.7d-street, who lives near Everton church, says ho heard the noise ; but to him it appeared sa if a very heavy person was walking across the room Boor. The noise was so loud that It awoke him, and he raised himself in bed at once, thinking there was some one in the room. Mr. Wood, of Lent-street, who sleeps on the premises there, was also aroused by the noise. The wooden rings on his bed (the curtains being off) rattled as if some one had violently pushed thetullis in.pression was that the boy who slept in the room shove had fallen out of bed. Mr. Bammen, of Bold-street, who came from Chester this morning, says the shock was felt severely at Chester and all along the Chester and Birkenhead line. A gentleman who lives at Birkenhead•park distinctly heard the vibrating noise. Captain Ureig, head constable, who lives at the George'■ Dock ;mugs, was awakened by the loud noise. All the e■rtbenwars in the house was shaken about and rattled. He got up, fancying that some one had broken into the house, called up the man on duty at the station, and exa mined the roof of the building, to see that no person was there. All the polies officers that were on duty round the docks reported that they heard the noise. Officer Blackmer° (No. 227) was leaning at the time against one of the land ing-waiters' huts, and the but shook so much that he thought he and it would have fallen into the dock. Mr. Pierce, of Great George street, was lying awake at the time, and felt the bed shaken as if some person had seized hold of it and rocked it to and fro. He thought some one had broken into the house, bat on examination, of course, found all safe. His soap box was shaken from the dressing-table and smashed to pieces. At Woolton, Cbildwall, and Aigburth, the earthquake was distinctly felt, and alav at Oaten, Claughton, and other parts of Cheshire. All the parties describe their sensa tions and the .noises in their own peculiar way, but the list above includes all the different statein.lits we hove heard. The (ley has been exceedingly dark and misty, and • drizzling rain has nevir crated falling. Gas her been obliged to be used in all the shops and mercantile houses the whole of the day. BIRMINGHAM. Our correspondent at Birmingham, writing yes terday, says—. The shock ul the earthquake seems to have been felt in the neighbourhood of this town. A gentleman cuddle'? at Bataan Heath (in Mary-street), states that the sheds lasted from six to eight second% and that along with considerable vibration there were subterranean sounds. At Edghaston, too, similar phenomena were observed by per suns lying in bed, but no mischief was does, neither does tho occurrence appear to have been generally noticed." WORCESTER. This city and the neighbouring towns were visited by a phenomenon of this nature on Tues.lay morning about 4 o'clock. There is some little discrepancy in the time given by different persons as to the exact period of the shock, which leads to the belief that more than ore must have occurred. The shock or shocks awoke the greater part of the inhabit ants, and occasioned much consternation. There was a vibration or undulation of the ground, and a rumbling noise preceded and accompanied each shock, although it was perfectly calm at the time. At several houses in this city the bells were heard to jingle, fire-irons rattle, and candlesticks and other articles were upset, and, fortunately, it appears that nothing more serious resulted. The same effect seems to have been experienced at the different towns in the county, especially at Malvern, Kidderminster. and Bewilley. For several days previously the weather here hod been mat unseasonably ee and oppressive,so much so that on Sunday night the thermometer did nut fall below 56! a point high enough for the dog•days, and a great deal of rani fell, caus ing a great flood on the Severn. Oa the mornind of the shocks not a breath of wind was stirring, and the weather still sultry. The weather has sine* changed, being now very cold end dull. According tii accounts received, similar shocks) appear to have ,been felt throughout the country at about the same period of time. MR. WHISTON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY NEWS.
