It is proposed that a small charge shall be made by the company now projected upon the property adminis tered by it, as a remuneration for the security af forded. It is expected that 1 per cent. will be euf ficient for this purpose. A power will be contained in the Act for the appointment of auditors by the go- vernment to examine the affairs of the society. Another new project is the " Croydon Building ' Tontine." witk a capital of 50,0001., in shares of 51.1 each, payable by 10 instalments. The association is • , formed for the purpose of purchasing about six acres' of freehold land in the town of Croydon, near to the West Croydon Station, and of erecting thereon Model Buildings for the operative classes, such as those which have been found so successful in the parish of St. Pancras, and elsewhere. The system adopted is that of a Tontine, under which each of the proprietor enjoys the benefits of the association until the decease of his nominee, and then leaves his share of the property to the remainder, thus continually augmenting the incomes of the proprietors whose no minees survive until the expiration of the tontine, when the whole property will be either divided or sold, and the proceeds equally distributed amongst those proprietors whose nominees are then living. Notice has been issued by the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway Company that the extension line from Ludlow to Hereford will be opened for traffic on Monday, the sth inst. Land shares to-day were very quiet, at former prices. Bank shares were also dull, and those of the Bank of Australasia were quoted 11. lower. Crystal Palace shares were steady. Victoria Dock shares (61. paid), have been dealt in at 71 ; and Submarine Te legraph at par. The subjoined has reference to the Great Paris Waterworks Company. MINES SATURDAY EVENINO. An unfavourable impression being produced by the Bank of England return, the English stock market opened flatly, and prices for a short time ruled at a further decided reduction. As the day advanced, however, purchases were renewed, and a rally ensued, the market finally closing fully as good as yesterday afternoon. As the settlement of the ac count progressed, the current speculation appears, on balance, to be still for the fall, and the contango on Consols for January has consequently declined to 1 , 16 to per cent. Indeed, late in the afternoon, the "contango" had almost entirely passed off: The business of the day was far from active. - SA rt'IIIDAY EVIMIT G. This has beer. a quiet day in the English mining market, which is generally characterised by a feel ing of firmne,s. We hear of few sales, aad little change in prices. The gold mining share market was firmer in character, but with little disposition to operate. At three o'clock Colonial Gold were quoted at 1-16 to 9-16 prem.; Great Nugget, to prem. ; Port Phillip, 7-16 to 5-16 dis. ; British Australian, to dia.; Nouveau Monde, 5-16 to 7-16 prem ; Agua Fria, to prem. With the exception of a further improvement in Metcalfe Copper shares, which closed 1 to 11 prem., there was no feature in the general mining market. The shares of the Peninsular Mining Company, how ever, with ss. paid, have been ruu up to 1 to prem. Coosole opened at 941 to 1, and, after being sold as low as 941 for cash, were last quoted 941 to 93 for money and Tuesday, and 93, rather " sellers," far January. The official business report is as follows: Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 941, 1, 'l, 95 ; ditto, for account, 6th bee., 941 /, 95. Three per Cent. Reduced, 9n N. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 931, 1. Long Annuities, 1860, 51. India Stock, 2do. Exchequer Bills remained quoted 31. to 6.. prem., and India Bonds par to' 3& prem. In the foreign stcck market business was almost at a stand-still. Portuguese showed renewed weak ness, but, other stocks were nominally quoted at former prices. At 3 o'clock Mexican Bonds were quoted 241 to 25 ex div. Peruvian Three per Cents.. 49 to 31. Granada Deferred, 71 to 8; ditto, Active, 19 to 21. Sardinian, 88 to 90 ex di,.

TO TAE EDITOR OF THE DAILY NEWS. Sir,—Can you or any of your readers inform me why there is such delay in the issue in London of the scrip of the Great Paris Waterworks Company, which wns brought out about five months ago ?

I am, &c., EXPECTANT. With reference to the market for freights, we annex the weekly report furnished to ns by Messrs. Offor and Gamman THIS ])AY.—Two o'CLocit.

The widow carried on the business after his decease, and throve so well that a speculating baker, on the opposite site of the way, made her the offer of his hand. The lady refused, and the enraged suitor, determined on revenge, immediately eoaverted has baking into au opposition pie -shoo ; and acting on the principle, universal among London bakers, of doing business for the first month or two at a loss, made his pies twice as big as he could honestly afford to make them. The consequence was that the widow lest her castom, and was hastening fast to ruin, when a friend of her late husband, who was also a small creditor, paid her a visit. She detailed her grievance to him, and lamented her lost trade and fearful prospects. " Ho, ho !" said her friend, " that ere's the move is it ? Never you mind, my dear. If I don't git your trade agin, there aint no snakes, mark me—that's all '" So saying he took his leave. About eight o'clock the same evening, when the baker's new pie-shop was crammed to overflowitig, and the principal was below, superintending ! the production of a new batch, in walks the widow's friend in the costume of a kennel-raker, anal elbowing his way to the counter, dabs dawn upon it a brace of huge dead cats, I vociferating at the same time to the astonished damsel in attendance, "Till your waster, my dear, as how them two makes sizand-thirty this weak, and say I'll bring the t'other four to-morrerarternoon !" With that he swaggered out and went his way. So powerful was the prejudice' against cat•ruutton among the population of that neigh• bourhood, that the shop was clear in an instant, and the floor wui covered with hastily abandoned specimens of every variety of segments of a circle. The spirit shop, at the corner of the street, experienced an unusually large de mand for "goes" of brandy, and interjectional ejacula• tions, nut purely grammatical, were nut merely audible but visible too in the district. It is ay. reed that the inge nious expediint of the widow's friend, founded as A was upon a profound knowledge of human prijudias, had the desired effect of restoring the " balance of trade." The widow recovered her commerce; the resentful baker was done aa brown as if he had been shut up in his own oven; and the friend who brought about this measure of justice received the hind of the lady as a reward fur his interfer ence.—Coriosteles et I.ondon Life. NEW FRENCH WAR STEAMERS. —The following, vessels were luuoched on Friday, viz. —At Cherbourg, the Beaunnnoir, brig of the let class ; at Brest, the Duquesne, screw line of-battle-ship, with engines of 850 horse-power ; at Lorient, the Annihal, of 100 gun•, and 8.50 horse-power ; and at Toulon, the Flea:ate, Roo gun screw-ship, and Gif) horse-power. It may be of interest to many persons connected with the money and stock markets to learn that the total amount of South Sea securities paid off under the offer of government to pay at once, charging a discount of 3 per cent., is only 173,0941. 10s. id., of which 139,6021. 14s. 1 Id. consists of the New South Sea Annuities, and 33,4911. 15s. 2d. of the South Sea Three per Cents. of 1751. The same offer applies to a third stock, viz., the Bank Annuities of 1726; but the Bank of England authorities, we are sorry to find, refuse to give information as to what amount of this stock has yet been paid off. The aggregate capital of this stock, however, prior to the broaching of Mr. Gladstone's conversion scheme, was under 700,0001. The aggregate amount of the three stocks for which the Chancellor of the Exchequer offers prompt payment being 2,380,0001., it follows that very few holders have shown themselves disposed to accept the offer. As the transfer books of the two descrip- tions of South Sea Securities above specified were finally closed on the Ist inst., the government offer, so far as they are concerned, has now entirely lapsed. The great bulk of the holders prefer waiting till January, when they will be paid off at par in due course. Our record of the movement of the precious metals this week again embraces some very consi derable sums. The imports have been comparatively small, as, although several vessels have arrived during the week from Australia, only one has any gold on freight, viz., the Indian Queen, which brought in 38,992 ounces. The only other arrivals reported are 600,000 dole. by the Africa from New York, and a few hundred ounces of gold by the screw steamer Charity from Africa. The total value of these imports cannot exceed 260,000/. The Ravens bourne, from Antwerp, has also brought in two cases of bullion, of which no further description is afforded. On the other hand the shipments have been extra ordinarily heavy. The Custom-house statement of the exports of the precious metals during the week ending Thursday last includes 416,032 ounces of silver, and 141,508 ounces of gold, representing an aggregate value of fully 650,000/. The account in detail is as follows:—gold coin to Hamburg, 15,330 oz. ; to Rotterdam, 116,128 oz. ; to Belgium, 3,400 oz. Gold bars to Belgium, 3,500 oz. ; to Ham burg, 3,150 oz. Silver coin to Hamburg, 1,732 oz. ; to Belgium, 8,000 oz. ; to Boulogne 800 oz. Silver bars to Boulogne, 500 oz.; to Hamb urg, 405,000 oz. Of the silver, nearly the entire was despatched to Hamburg. The shipment above recorded of 1 , 116,128 ounces of gold to Rotterdam comprises the latest and principal remittances made on Russian government account by Messrs. Baring Brothers of which two-thirds was embraced in our summary of last week, although only now embraced in the Lon don Custom-house return, which extends from Thurs day to Thursday. The shipments of gold to Ham burg were on merchants account, and the remittances to Belgium were of course attracted by the low quo tations of exchange. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Indus, which is fixed to leave Southampton for Alexandria to-morrow, takes out 247,9131. in specie and bullion, of which 34,495!. is in gold and 213,4181. in silver. The destination of this shipment is shown below—viz , for Alexandria, gold, 15,000/. ; for Bombay, silver, 18,1501. ; for Ceylon, gold, 6,9801.; for Madras, silver, 24,2251.; for Calcutta, 5i1ver,14,301.; for Penang, 5i1ver,1,7531.; for Singapore, 5i1ver,42,6971.; for Hongkong, gold, 12,5151., and silver, 74,0081.; for Canton, silver, 36,925/. ; for Shanghae, silver, 1,3701. The other shipments reported to us this week comprise 14,000!. (besides 5,0001. worth of jewellery) by the Solent, for the West Indies ; ,11,000!. by the City of London, for Constantinople, Malta, and Smyrna ; 310,000 dollars by the Cambria steamer, from Liverpool for Havre (this sum forming part of the specie brought in by the Africa from New York); about 6,0001. in specie by the screw steamer Valdivia, from Liverpool for Rio Janeiro and the west coast of South America ; and 300/. in specie on freight by the Artemisia for New Zealand. Sum marising these shipments we arrive at an aggregate for the week of nearly one million slerliny, subject to a reduction, however, on account of the shipment to Rotterdam. above referred to, which was made, properly speaking, last week. There have also been considerable shipments of gold to France throughout the week, via the outports. As we have already re ported, the bulk of the gold brought in by the Indian Queen has already been taken for des; etch abroad by that route. On the whole, it wiU be seen, our statement shows the current of the precious metals to be ut present very adverse to this country: The attention of railway shareholders generally may be advantageously called to the address (pub. lished in the Daily Versa of this morning) to the proprietary of the South Eastern Railway, issued by three of the directors of that company, in opposition to the extension scheme, which is apparently advo cated by the rest of the board. This manifestation of independent feeling on the part of a portion of the board affords another significant sign of the grow ing disposition of railway shareholders to oppose, though tardily, the policy of the officials , by which the dividends have in most cases been reduced to so low a point. The spirit lately evinced by the Lon don and South Western shareliolders in rejectiag the extension project of that board, appears likely to in laugurate a new era in our railway history. A feature of some novelty is the announcement of the " Executor and Trustee Company," with a nomi nal capital of one million sterling, in 201. shares. The object is the formation of a responsible institution for the security and management of testamentary and trust property. There is no doubt that this want has long been felt by tho public. It is stated that a joint stock company having these objects in view, and called the " Board of Execu -1 tors," was established at the Cape of Good Hope in 1535, and i• now in full and satisfactory opera tion. The obtainment of powers for this object is The arrivals of shipping into the Pert of London during the past week have been very heavy, and bare comprised a flee fleet from nearly all quarters of the globe. Not withstanding the arrival of above 250 ships, many of large tonnage, including about 35 from the Bast Indies and China, the buoyancy of the Freight Market has been un influenced, and the rates current at the commencement of the week have continued firm throughout. In the Au. transits trade the clearances have been unusually light, com prising only five ships, registering 3,039 tons, during the week (26th Nev. to 2nd Dec.); of these, two were for Port Phillip, registering 1.397 tone, one for Sydney of 877 tone, one for Adelaide of 376 tons, and Zone for Hobart Town of 389 tons. On the other hind, the vessels entered out for loading during the same period have been unprecedentedly heavy, comprising a total of 20 ships of the combined re gister capacity of 12,101 tons. These vessels are thus distributed. Ships Timmer.

In filling the new gasometer it was found that the gas was escaping, and the engineer (John Ormsby Culyer), with a workman named William Hall, proceeded to the top to see from what part the leakage came. The men incautiously tsek with them a lighted candle, and the result was that the gasometer instantly blew up with • loud report. Culyer, the engineer, was hurled a grt at distance on the adjacent marshes, and when discovered was frightfully m.ngled, and of course quite dead. The body of Ilall has not yet Icon found, but it is supposed to be under the gasometer, which has wears) feet of water in it. It will he a considerable time lit tore the works are in a tit state for the manufacture of gas, owing to this untoward accident. COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. -- 4-- MARK-LANK-THIS DAY.
