MONEY MARIET.-21718 DAY. Two o'CLocz. The funds maintain firmness, although the Bank court has broken up without making any alteration in the rate of discount. Console are now quoted about 1-16th per cent. lower than at four o'clock yesterday. Consols have searosly varied from their present quotation of 1931 to 94 ex div. for the Bth January. The Three per Cents. Reduced have been dealt in at 931 to f; the New Three per Cents. 931 to 94; Bank Stock at 218}; Exchequer Bills at Oa. to Be. prem.; Exchequer Bonds, lsas, at 981: and India Bonds at par to 2s. prem. Turkish Six per Cents. an quiet, at 95 to to 1; and the Guaranteed Four per Cents. at 102/ to f. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been dealt in at 65 (exch. 1213.); Russian Four and-a-Half per Cents., at 97; ditto, Small Bonds, at 97/ ; and Spanish Old Three per cent. at 42. In other foreign securities no transactions are reported. The demand for money for commercial purposes continues good. In some quarters transactions are reported at a slight reduction from the Bank rate, but this is exceptional, the Bank minimum being generally fully maintained. Confidence is maintained, however, by the belief that the present demand is merely tem porary, consisting of the usual provision against the elan of the year, and that at the commencement of the new year, in conjunction with the January dividend payments, an easier market will be wit nessed. An immediate reduction of the Bank of England rates does not mem to be generally looked for, but many parties watch each weekly Court with interest Of the 380,0001. in gold brought by the True Briton, 180,0001. ham been presented for purchase to the Bank of England, the other half being taken for the Bank of France. We notice, as another satisfactory feature, that large amoutts of recently imported silver are now being seat back to the Continent, in consequence of the fall 3n the prios of the metal in this market, resulting from the reduction in the But India Com pany's rate of exchange. We hear of remittances to the Continent to the extent of 60,000 ounces of silver, principally in ftve-f rano pines. The total amount of specie taken out by the Avon, for the Brazils, is 168,0004, chiefly in sovereign. At Hamburg the rate of discount is still falling, and stands now at only 4} per cent. Letters from Amsterdam represent the recent rise of per cent. in the rate of discount as a merely dengue movement on the part of the Bank, whieh was subjected to a certain drain in consequence of the higher value of money now ruling in Paris and London. The corn market yesterday was dull, and nominally unchanged in prim The arrivals of foreign grain in London since Monday have been trifling. Sines last Friday fifteen grain laden vessel. have arrived at port of Gall, viz., twelve of wheat and three of maize. This department of the market was heavy, and most of the cargoes which have recently arrived off the coast remain unsold. There is still an inquiry, how- ever, for maize for Spain and the South of France. At most of the English markets held yesterday there was a slight decline in the price of wheat. In France the downward movement continues. With a view to clear op doubts which have been expensed respecting the real position of the 2,000,0001. of preferential bonds proposed tobe issued by the Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada, the Stock Exchange authorities have put themselves in communication with the company, and the follow• ing explicit answer has been received : ofllses of the Grand Trask Railway Chumm of Canada 21, Old Broad-street, Leedom, D. 9, '8t6. Dial 154,—With reforests to your inquiry, I beg to state that **spirit and !ablation of the act of the Canadian legialature, passed lest session, is that, provided two mil lions of preforms, capital therein authorised be raised, the province will provide for the interest on its debentures issued in favour of this company for live pawn, and that it will forego its rights as Ant mortgage* is perpetuity, rank ing " as to dividend or basted vita that of the company's bondholders." The wording of tte art might perhaps be clearer, bat the intention as well as tie fast are un doubted —I am, die., C. P. !Wear, Secretary. WAR Slaughter, Req., Secretary of the Railways Department, Stock Beaus.. Referring to the Company's Relief Act, we find in Mama 1 the following passage: • - . . . - - - The said company s►all be authorised to lane preferential bonds to the extent of two millions of pounds sterling. The holden of such bonds to have priority of claim therefore over the present first lien of the province. Clause 2 is to the following effect : 2. Provided that the proceeds of the said preferential beads to the amount aforesaid be deposited with the pro. viscid agents, the interest accruing on the provincial debits. tares issued to the company shall, during the period of flee yeas (Wag the time necessary for the completion of the works, and for the development of the through traffic), be advanced by the province, and such advances, as they are made, shall be repaid to the province in share capital of the soapany, and the lien of the proviso), subject to the pre.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. The funds maintain firmness, although less bast nese is going forward, during the shutting of the truster books for Consols. A fresh improvement of per cent. was attained at one period of the day, and the closing quotations were about 1.10 per cent. better than those of yesterday. The influx of 180,0004 in gold into the Bank to-day, and the altered appearance of the market for silver, must be favourably viewed. The other departments of the Stock Exchange were also strong t:-day. French shares bays improver here, although the Banta are rather lower at Paris. Consols, which closed yesterday at 931 to 91, opened this morning at 931, advanced to 91 to I, and were last quoted exactly 91 ex div. for the Bth Jan.

The Guaranteed Four per Cents. remain very steady, and were last quoted 1021 to t. Mexican Bonds were flatter. The Spanish, Coupon Certificates were also more offered. YINES-THIS DAY. Two o'CLocK.. Heavy dividend mining stocks continue in de mised, and business is only impeded by the unwillingness of holders to supply the mar ket at present prices.

" " Mildon, English brig."—" Where are you lest from ? " 6. 8.4.. 0 ,.."—" What are you laden with ? " Grain, for Cork or Fahnouth."—" Wait did you put in here for ? " " Because I Iled the place. Don't von want our assistance ? " "No : lam going to din ner; good day."—The people on board the steamers upon this, of course, looked very foolish; but there was no help for it, but to return. The affair was not exactly a boas, but arose from a mistake on the part of the signal-map, who seeing the brig paying out cable be lieved she was going ashore. The cost of coal expended by the four steamers in this trip must have amounted, we are informed, to at least between twenty and thirty pounds sterling. The story has occasioned a good laugh, wh it his been told. ---- 111 E FAIR SEX AND THEIR DIET.—We are not of the number of those who think that the fair sex ought to subsist, like Peris, upon odours and dew. We like to nee the blushing maiden beside us exhibit a entail' degree of friandise, and show a healthful appetite, corresponding to the brilliant colour of her cheeks. It is a mere delusion to suppoic that a ball or sJitie affmd the best opportunities of snaking love. An adroit cavalier will make more items sion upon the virgin heart, between soup and dessert, than he can hope to effect in fifty plunging po:kae. We are a dining nation; and, at dinner, the fittest onalitirs of the teat and intellect are instinctively eabibltad. We do not like to are a young lady ignore her food, or turn from the proffored wing of chicken, albeit with an air of the prettiest disgust. That abeam to us et least, winders sulpicion of previous banquete—of surreptitieue lunthroas—of forenoon indulgences io cakes and hot jelly, it may be with a fi moor of maraschino. We see at once that there is a falsity in oat sweet neighbour'. performsace—that she is wing a nut deliberately studied and conned—and we remember, with a shudder, the story, in the " Arebais Nights," of the tidy who r tttt Mud !terself to a few grains of rice at regulated meal-timer, is order that she might be properly sanitised for her hidcmis supper with the Ghouls. This is bad enough. but what shall we say of en undisguised voracious woman t It is frightful that such a thing should be ; yet. nesertheleas. we lie tot when we assert its ezistence. Gluttony is not altogether a Male tie; it an be found in the female. Bole oft.■ have wr behrld in the Perk carriages rolling by, con taiolog tautens women, bunting with plethora, in whose rubicund countenances the awlel signs of habitual hot luncheons appeared! Are they to be pint(' / Yet but their husbands are more pitiable still. I , or wo cannot con ceive anything more wretched and deplorable than the MS of a man who, after his day's work in the City or at chain brie, returns home with a freshened appetite, and seats him self at table with a few friends whom he proposes hospit►bly to entertain—when, opposite him, the partner of his couch. the once slim and elegent Laura Matilda, site in mate obesity, her perception dulled by satiety, and a sullen morn upon her heavy lip—when Brown, and Jones, and Smith, the dearest friends of his soul, vainly wail bar with Threadneedle jokes, and the lut pungent:lee of the Xi chauge—when even Bosh, the wit of the club, who has been know. to extort a grin from a red-tapist, sttrosits hi.
