Throughout the Stock Exchange continued buoy ancy prevails this morning. The funds exhibit a fresh advance of f per cent., but in nearly all classes of railway securities the advance is much more decided. Console for the ith December were first marked 911, and are now quoted 911 to 1, after receding to 911 to 1. For money the present price is also 911 to 1. The Three per Ceuta. Reduced are marked 901 to ; the New Three per Cents. 90Z to 901 ; Bank Stock, 2151 to 216; Exchequer Bills, 46. dia. to par; and India Bonds, 265. dim. Turkish Six per Cents. have risen considerably, and mast other foreign stocks are firmer. Sales are recorded as foUows :—Borne Ayres Bonds, at 84; Belgian Four-and-a-I tall per Cents., at 96, ex die. (exchange 25 (moos); Portuguese Three per Cents., 1833, at 431 ; Russian Five per Cents., at 1061; ditto Four-and-a-Ralf per Cents., at 95; Sardinian Five per Cents., at 891; Spanish New Deferred Three per Cents. for account (16th December), at 24 ; Turkish Six per Cents., at 881, 891, and 89; ditto for account (16th December), at 89& to 891. We learn from a source upon which we place im plicit reliance that there is no truth in the ru mours lately prevalent, which attribute to govern ment the intention of funding a portion of the Ex i chequer Bills afloat. We are also assured that a government loan for the service of the nation in India does not enter into the financial programme sketched by Ministers for the approaching session of Parliament. These considerations are calculated to greatly strengthen the funds, the more especially as the purchases which were effected by the public upon so extensive a scale during the late fall have absorbed the stock drawn in such immense quantities from the reserves of the Bank of &gland and of numerous other bankers. As soon as the money market becomes easier, these parties may be expected to reappear in the market as buyers of the stock recently sold. A striking feature of the Stock Exchange yester day was a brisk demand for the securities of all the guaranteed Indian railway companies, for which greatly enhanced prices were established. Invest ments and speculative purchases are being prosecuted with eagerness. . In the money market the general feeling continues favourable. More willingnees to lend is evinced, and, consequently, the demand at the Bank of Eng- land, though to a fair extent, was not pressing to- day. Meanwhile, it most be remembered, very large sums fall due from day to day at the Bank, and will probably cause a steady addition to the reserve. The Bank of England yesterday purchased a fur ther amount of nearly 30,0001. In gold, the bulk of which was drawn from the Continent. Owing to the high rates of exchange, caused by the high value of money here, golds flowing in steadily from various parts of the Continent, whence none has been re ceived for years. In the Stock Exchange yesterday money was in rather better demand, but loans on Consols until the December settlement could still be obtained at 4 to 3 per cent. per annum. The recent important advance in Exchequer Bills has undoubtedly been greatly assisted by the rumour' that a portion of the amount afloat is to be funded ; but, despite the contradiction given to that rumour, perhaps the improvement in the money market may promote some inquiry for them. We understand that the East India Company have already purchased another quarter of a million in silver, destined for transmission to India by the packet of the 4th of December. Itemittences of silver on mercantile account, however, are still quite discouraged by the state of the money market. The steamer Baron thy has arrived in tho Thames from Antwerp with 26,0001. in silver. The Albion has also brought 12,0001. in silver front Boulogne. On Change yesterday afternoon • decidedly im proved feeling prevailed, and more inclination was evinced to buy short bills on the Continent. The chief alteration in the rates was a decline es regards short bills on Paris. Paper on Vienna, Trieste, and St. Petersburg ruled rather higher. Upon the whole, the Continental Exchanges may be said to main tain the extraordinarily high rates lately reached. The current quotations are shown below, v iz.: Amsterdam, three scathe, 12.2} to 3; do., short, 11.181 to 191 ; Rotterdam, these months, 12.21 to 3; Aat warp, three months, 25.05 to 95; Homburg M's Boma, Shen mouths, 13.13 to II ; Paris, this dare sight, 26.4010 6; ditto, throe month., 23.95 to 26.5; Prankfort-ca-thellaine, dues months, 121 to 2; Petersburg, per rouble this maths, 33 to } ; Vienna, elf. tlo, three menthe, 11.6 to 15 ; Trines, dleto, three months, 11.10 to 20; Madrid, tbs. maths, 471 tot ; Cadiz, than mouths, 47} to 8 ; Leghorn, three months, 30.65 to 75 ; Genoa, three mouths, 26.30 to 40 ; Naples, three months. 41 to ; Lisboa, 90 days, 61} to } ; Oporto, 90 dais, 62 le }. The failure is announced of Messrs. J. Hubbard and Son, engaged in the wool trade, at Leeds, but the liabilities are believed to be limited. hopes are entertained that arrangements may be made for • resumption of payment on the part of several of the large London firms in the Swedish trade which lately suspended. Much will depend on advice. from Sweden, now shortly expected. A dividend meeting is shortly to be held in the Court of Bankruptcy under the estate of Messrs. Strahan, Paul, and Bates, when a further dividend of 9d. in the pound is expected to be declared. From Newcastle it is stated that a number of leading merchants and other parties, including two director, of the suspended District Bank, have held a meeting and determined to form • private bank. The Julia has arrived from China, with 344,70U11n. of tea and 1,821 bales of silk. The corn market yesterday was firm, at last Monday's rates. Yesterday's list includes only two floating car goes of grain arrived at ports of call, but the demand in this department of the market has been very active daring the last few days, and since Wednesday about I two dozen cargoes have been sold at prices which show an advance of Is. to 2r, per qr. over those current at the beginning of the week. The country markets arc reported rather dearer. The subjoined weekly summary of the produce markets is ?Tom Messrs. W. J. and H. Thompson: The colonial market., which opened heavily and with a forther &meads in prices, havelatterly shown este signs of improvement, and cssicesally higher rats have been oh raised.

The return of the Bank of England for the week ending Wednesday, November 26, compared with the previous weekly return, shows the following results : Chadation Ism Circulation retire 21,340,305 Decease' 66,105 Public depolits Other deposits Ouvrnament tecurftias hs banking departmast . 8,607,417 DIMON 699,687 m ha teskiQ department 31 ,35 0, 7 17 'acmes 1,051,417 Coin sad bullion is both departments Siren day end other bills 815,838 Decrease 13,706 Vas Rest Notes Is reserve I:918,810 lumens 770.8.56 These changes are of arenaming character. The large increase of public deposits is to a great extent counteracted by the increase in " other emeriti' es," bat as the Bank have nsold government menrities, they have increased their banking reserve by more than three quarters of a minim. Consequently, the two millions of notes Mimed by the Bank beyond the letter of the law are virtually held by the Bank themeelves, who have, in addition, a mime of 398,31371. To all intents and purposes, the charter is no longer infringed. The least satisketcry feattire is the continued increase in the other securities. The sorment as rowels the bullion is mast favourably. BANK Or KNOLAND.—AI NB Via, C. fl, fat the wog, oust. pursuant to Um Act hb sd ins on t►rrdnesday, Not. Its PASTUM. 6prQnpWt Debt ....

Speculation always runs far ti in advance of changes in the money market ; and a. now that a steady improvement in the position of re the Bank of England, and a reduction in the rate of es. discount are considered to be coming fairly into view, the rush of the speculators has commenced. At tq the same time, the movement is greatly promoted a. by the recent operations of the public, who, as is i t; well known, instead of selling, have absorbed securi ties of all deem iptions at the low prices lately a. current. The: funds to-day rose fully 1 per cent., Si but the advance extended to every department of the Stock Exchange, and all classed, of securities left a. off at the highest point of the day. In the leading 1 4 British railway stocks an average advance of 1 per 11; cent was established. The improvement in these In securities is satiated by the purchases of parties who r e i had effected speculative sake upon the prospect of a 0 diminution in the traffic. The expectation of a very favourable Bank return, and the satisfactory Intel- 7,. ligence from India, may be enumerated 'menet the et. considerations which helped to drive up prices of stocks and shares to-day. Consols, which closed yesterday at 90j , " buyers," for the 7th December, opened this morning at 94:11 to 91, and steadily advanced, closing at 911 to 1. /1.. For money the last price was 911, and for the new r; account, terminating on the Bth of Jan., 91/ to 92, or es equal to 901 to 1 ex div. The " continuation "to January may be quoted Ito t per cent, inclusive of se income tax. After four o'clock the market was very I! firm, and prices were even quoted rather higher. re, The official business report is as follows : —Three per Cent.

The Six per Cents. rote about g per cent., closing at 881 to 1 for money, S and 89 to 1 for the 16th December. The "con tinuation" on this stock was 1 to 1 per cent. The Guaranteed Four per Cents. have risen to 981 to 3. In the share market to-day the rates of continua tion were heavy on London and North Western at stock, 1 per cent. being paid in the morning, and / per cent. in the afternoon. On Great Western 1-16 continuation was given in the morning, but a slight et backwardation " was subsequently paid. On Lan- r . cashier end Yorkshire 1 continuation wes paid, and et on Midland 9-16 ; but the rates afterwards became ie.,. lighter. On most other English railway stocks the W I , rates were moderate, considering the high value of st.et. money in the open market. si. The inquiry for bank shares continued to-day, and in many cases still higher prices were paid. Bank of Australasia rose 21.; Union of Australia, 11.; se Bank of Egypt, 10s. per share, &e. Union Bank et of London shares have advanced to 22 to 23; Otto man Bank to 17 to 1; and Bank of Egypt to 6 die- u. count. The shares of the two discount companies also met with some inquiries.

A meeting of the electors of Stroud was sonounsed for There day evening for the purpose of hearing addressee from the two honourable members for the borough. In °mealtimes, however, of en sesedent happening to Mr. foramen, who broke his right arm by a fail from hie horse, the meeting wee PoistPu_rd." THE ItEPRESENTATION OF PAlSLET.—Political affairs in this burgh continue to be very much at sizes and seems. On Thursday night it was publicly intimated that Mr. Merry, notwithstanding that there was a requisition in his favour, signed by considerably above 400 voters, and ready for presentation to him, had intimated that he did not intend to offer himself SA a candidate. This announcement mused wry great excitement, and a strong foliag has been expressed against this expression of opinion on the part of Mr. Merry. Last night it wee also intimated that Mr. Bailie Brown Dougle bad refined to offer himself as a can didate. Mr. Lamont, of Knockdow, last night addressed a meeting in the Exchange Rooms. He was subjected to a tedium and severe " heckling," but he Mood fire remarkably well, and gave very general eatisfaction.—Glasgow Daily Mario( yesterday. Winter has suddenly set in at Bowness (says the Kendal Mercury) for on Tuesday morning the mountains were clothed in pure white halfway down, and a very sharp frost has followed, with every prospect of continuance. Ilse &angelus been no sudden from the mild weather previous that people have hardly Lemprepared for it. We (Sussex Express) deeply regret noticing, among the list of wounded forwarded from the Dklbi army, the name of Lieut. Seel. of the 9th Lancers, who, while eataulting the poeitit.n of the enemy on September 27, at Booluadshuhur. under °mend Gr, eked, whose force crossed the Jumna, at Delhi. on the 23rd, is reported as having been *evenly wounded. Lieutenant Seel is the sea of the Rev. Mr. Seel, the much-respected rector of this parish, and has greatly distinguished himself by his daring and activity in the investment of Delhi, and the various cavalry engage ments in which he has been engaged with the rebels. FRESCOES IN THE New PALACE.—The two new frescoes, the work of Meters. Wed and Cope, have jest been morticed into their abiding places, in the corridors of the new Roves of Parliament, and arc now thrown open to criticism. One picture Ly Mr. Cope, "The Departure of the Pilgrim Fullers," and two Ly Mr. Ward, "Alice Lisle sheltering the Fugitives after Sedgemoor," and " The Executioner fas tening Wishart's book need the neck of Montrose," are now exposed to view. Mr. Ward has much modified his early painting in the " Montrose" picture fur the of fresco ; he indulges necessarily in white*, purposes they are fitting in fresco, and even mediae' historical truths, and turns the brave scarlet of his hero's dying suit into a pearl-colour, which is more suitable to his material. Yet we cannot allow that the picture loses any thing in force by this change, though the tints are lees MMr online, and the tones more subdued. There is still tbe Ree nacted RighLuider, with thebull's chest and the blacksmith's arms ; tying with cruel coelzes.s the brave man's book to the martyrs nut, knitting the cord with such cool and fero cious care, while the chivalrous cavalier stands as calm and indifferent as if he weto awaiting in some feudal hall the vaseals receding with their rents. There he stands before the heaving mob, thirsting for his blond, the partial sunshine lighting the fair feather, the white looped satin of his doublet, and his red hose, with the gold fringe., while the light from the blue sky to the left breaks on the red-tiled gables, alive with cepeetaat eyes, and the quaint arched steeple of St. Giles. "Alice Lisle sheltering the Fugitives after Sedgemoor" Is, like all Mr. Ward's subjecte, n noble, dramatic one, with an underlying, deep, sincere feeling, that redeems it from the class of mere costume scene, however powerful. Mr. Cope s picture of "The Pilgrim Fathers" is in some points en improvement from his academic dole.— altirnettnn. SOUTHAMPTON.—The paddle wheel steam-ship, Germania, from Hamburg, which, in compeer with the steam-'hip Hansa, hot Leen for the loot few weeks lying in the Southampton Ducks for disposal, either to government es transports or otherwiee, bee been purchased by Mr. Blake. of Greenock. fee the sum of 4,600/. The same party per clued the Greet Western end Severn of the Royal Mall Company. EAST KENT RAILWAY.—The East Kent line of railroad will open on the let of Jenuary next from Faver sham to Chatham, and to Strond on tin let of February, dependent, of retiree, on the certificate of the Government Tweeter. We (11,14dree Journals understand it is in tended to invite Lord Sondes, the indefiei c teLle chairman of the board of directors, to a public dinner at Sittingbourne, on the day of the opening. PROEOSED RAILWAY FROM MARDEN.—For some weeke pact an engineer, accompanied by assistant,, hsuibeen carver eg the land, situate between here and Meninx, in order to secertain the practicability of forming a line of rail way from Maiden, through hero to Tenterden. The district appears to bare Leen thoroughly examined by the engineer, and having completed his plans and survey. a meeting, we understand, wi.l shortly be held en the entiject. We hope that this, the capital town of the went l of Kent, will not remain much longer without railway accommodation.— Seems Arpress. LEWEN AND UCKFIELD RAILWAy.—ThiS com pany ;is' now progressing with the works in something like earnest, having commenced opera:lone at two distir,ct points, and the contractor Melee that he can complete the way early next mintiest, if the directors and shareholders are willing to sum; v him with the mama, Gar latter being the greet requi site for ensuring rapidity of workmanship. The directors have made a second call of 61., which will, no doubt, be met with the same spirit as that which animates the directors.— &ewe lrpnac. RAILWAY HOSTILITIES AT lANCIIFaTER.—With reference to a parsgraph in our paper of the 26th, purporting to g ive the particulare of tle petition of the London and North-Western, and Manchester, Shetlield, and 'Lincolnshire Companies, as owners of the Manchester South Junction and jaltriechem Rell way, we have since been informed that the opi nion of counsel hes been taken at the matinee of the Blan chester. Sheffield, and Lincolnshire representatives of the South Junction board, and that the opinion PO taken is en tirely in favour of the position taken by the Lenten and North-Western Company. We understand that the ether et/dement* are wholly denied hy the London and North- Western Company, and they me also the subject of litigation in the court of law.
