General Longstreet is said to have taken 13 brigades from Virginia into Tennessee, and to be preparing to attack Rosencranz immediately. The Confederates have captured and destroyed five Federal steamers, laden with stores, and one gun-boat, up the Cumberland River. The National Intelligencer publishes several in tercepted Southern despatches. A portion of the correspondence relates to a movement on the part of the French consuls at Galveston and Richmond, supposed to have been originated in Paris, to in duce Texas to secede from the Southern Confede racy, and establish an independent government, the result being that an order was transmitted to the Confederate commander in Texas to send the French Consul to Mexico. The French Consul at Richmond was ordered to leave, but the order was rescinded. _ . . . _ Ws. IP4 I EAu.wAn. I °Swi ft Prim yesterday.

The stock markets to-day exhibit renewed strength, owing to the character of the Bank return, which is held to denote that the recent rise in the rate of discount must be regarded as in the main merely a precautionary measure. The funds have risen per cent. Must of the principal home railway stocks have improved, and in the foreign stock market the tendency of prices is upwards, particu larly as regards Turkish securities. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 69fr. 80c., being Sc. better than yesterday. Consols are now quoted 921 to for money, and 924 to f# for the account (Feb. 6). The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 924, 4, 92, 4, 4; ditto for account, 924, 4; Three per Cents. Reduced, 924, 4; New Three per Cents., 924, 4, ; India Stock, 229, 230 ; ditto Five per Cent. Stock, 1084, 108 ; ditto Four per Cent. Debentures, 994 ; ditto Bonds, 104. prem. ; Five-and-Half per Cent. " enfaced" rupee paper, 1124 ; and Ex chequer Bills, Is., 3s. prem. Foreign stocks are firm, with an upward ten dency. The principal feature is a rise off per Cent, in Turkish Consolid6s, owing to the tele graphic news from Constantinople that the Sultan has signed the firman for the new bank. The Turkish loans of 1858 and 1862, the new Vene zuelan Loan, Italian Five per Cents, Spanish Certificates, and New Granada Land Warrants, are allbetter. Spanish Passive Bonds continue in demand. Greek and Mexican are steady. Some of the present quotations are annexed :—Turkish 1854 Loan, 854 to 86 ; ditto, 1858, 70 to ; ditto, 1862, 661 to 674; ditto Consolida, 414 to 4; Venezuela Six per Cents., 61 to 4; Portuguese scrip, 21 to 3 prem. ; and the Peruvian Loan, 86 to 87. Transactions are recorded as follows:—Brazilian, 1852, 1858, 1860, 93 ; Egyptian, 964; Greek, 171, 4, 4 ; ditto Coupons, 7,4; French, 69fr. 75c. ; Italian, 694 ; ditto for account, 694, 4; Mexican, 32f ; New Granada, 291 ; ditto Lead Warrants, bf, 6 ; ditto ex overdue Coupons and Hectares, 13/ ; Russian, 98 ; ditto, 1862, 95} ; Spanish Passive, 264, 4, 4 ; ditto Certificates, 101; Turkish, 1868, 701 ; ditto for account, 711; ditto 1862, 661, f, 67 ; ditto for account, 67 ; ditto Guaranteed, 1034 ; Venezuela, 1862,614, 61. . . . . . _. Owing to the announcement of the signing of the firnian for the establishment of the new National Bank, Ottoman Bank shares have been in demand to-day, and the new shares have been dealt in at 9/, or 7* prem. Form o'CLovir. Consols are firm, at 92k to for money, and 92k to I for the account. Not the slightest agitation is observable in the discount market, and the supply appears to be ade quate to all requirements, but a somewhat un settled feeling having been occasioned by the recent rapid action by the Bank of England, not much disposition is shown at the moment to take even choice bills below the Bank minimum. The appli cations at that establishment yesterday, however, were upon only a very moderate scale. No gold was withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for exportation. A limited portion of the 273,0001. from America by the Asia and City of Washington has been taken for abroad, and the rest is also ex pecteil to be purchased, but perhaps at lower prices. The effect of the rise in the Bank of England rate of discount is to check withdrawals of gold from that establishment, but the supplies from America and Australia will probably be sent away as fast es they come to hand. The silver market is flat, at se. lad. per ounce for bars, owing to an impression that the coming Mex ican packet will bring a large remittance, combined with the continued drawing of government bills on India. Mexican dollars are quoted as high as ss. 50. to be. &L., but there is little or no business doing in them, in the absence of supplies. The Great Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 1,9861. over last year ; the Midland an increase of 2,2531. ; the Great North ern an increase of 7571. ; the London and South Western, an increase of 2,6981. ; the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, an increase of 7571. ; and the Lancashire and Yorkshire, an increase of 1,2161. The following is the first report of the directors of the Imperial Bank (Limited) to be submitted at the general meeting on the sth Feb.:— The directors have much pleasure in availing themselves 'of this the earliest opportunity afforded them to present to the shareholders, for the fist time, a report of the state 'tad pragre of the beak for the half year ending 31st De esker La. The shareholders are aware that the beak was opened for bagasse in June, 1862 ; and it is satisfactory to the directors to state that it was at once evident, from the amount of substantial support received from their friends and the public, that the mews of the undertaking was assured. In consequence of the low value of moray during the greater part of the period that the bank has bees in operation, it could eeareeiy be expected that any coasider able profit would be reeved ; but it will he gratifying be the proprietors to observe, from the annexed taleame sheet, that • grow profit of 5,0444 has bees stay whilst all the current expensee—which in a new un dertaking, it must be remembered, are dispratiomahly heavy—have bees paid, leaving • balance of 1,6811. 13s. &I net profit, to be carried forward to the new account. The directors think it may not be out of place to &ties that their primary object has been not so much to realise large immediate profits as to oxidant the affairs of the bank on sound and side principles, so as to secure public confidence, which they know is emeatial for the continued prosperity of the undertaking. The capital of the bank cm let July was 70,0004 ,• by a second call, payable on 11th October, it wee increased to 100,0001. A third cell, which is due 'Atha end of the present numtb, will further literal', k 150,0001. The legitimate banking business now transmuted renders at least this amount of capital necessary to meet the requirements of the establiehment. The preliminary expenses, including proveroaal office rent, adverted''', registratioo, solicitor's bill, and every other item, amount to 4.3651. Is. 11d. The premises, as they stand, east 22,4381., "including furniture, fixtures, safer, Ac. The upper portion is now let at • rental of 8251. per estrum . which gives a return of nearly 4 per cent. on the cost price of the building, and the bank has only to bear the ground rest. With reference to the market for American securities, Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite reports as follows: Since our last, the rate of exchange at New York has ad. winced 13 per cent. ; this of course has caused a reduction in value of American securities in the London market. It affects, however, chiefly Suites Stock and Bonds, and the hoods of such railroads as do not provide the interest and principal payable in sterling or its eqinvalent ; hence we see New York Central Seven per Cent. (1864) fiat at 65, whilst Atlantic sad Great Western are steady at 70. Railroad shares have not suffered to any material extent, as the price in New York has about kept pace with the premium on gold.

Raleigh, of Hare-court Chapel, Canonbury, preached • special sermon on the subject of slavery on Bun t* evening. The rev. gentleman chose for his text Heb. xiii. 3, " Remember them that are in bonds, an bound with them ; and them which suffer ad versity, u being yourselves also in the body." He maid that the efforts now being made to create a reaction in public sentiment and to diminish the horror in which slavery is held by Englishmen —even to justify it on commercial grounds—made it the duty of those who felt it to be • crime and • disgrace to humanity to lift up their voices against it. The attitude taken by some of the journals of the day, defeoding slavery on Son= gonads —a position also taken /by many warms when interests lay in maintaining the slue system of We southern states of Amerie—made it equally that ministers of religion and all who profound to be f lowers of Jesus should expose the sophistries by which such a principle was supported. Mr. Raleigh them entered into an exposition of the character of Hebrew servitude, showing that it was as different from modern slavery as light is from darkness, and that even in the form in which it was permitted there was abundance of evidence to show that it was tolerated in the old dispensation, just as polygamy was, because of the hardness of men's Marta, and the poonliar circumstances of those times, rather than from any of the Almighty to make it perpetual The broad ciples of benevolence and justice which Sr. everywhere to be found in the Scriptures were directly opposed to slavery, and every one who was imbued with those principles must hate an institutioa so degrading to the human race and dia. honouring to God. The sermon was most attentively listened to by • crowded and infloestial congregation, and appeared to produce a great iippreasion.—Patriot. bwiAitiNG ON HOMER'S ILIAD.—The Cork Con stitutios relates the following occurrence :—The reporter of the Constitution, on going to the court, took with him • copy of Rower's lhad to read during the purer which occur in the triala. Business getting rather hurried, the matte:at-fact prose of the police took precedence of the poetry of Homer, and the Iliad was laid carelessly by on the reporter's table, at the front of which the parties se gued in the trial stand. After a good deal of business bad been transacted, the (moth was suddenly stopped by Heed Constable Carey announcing to the magistrates that the trit ium who was being examined, and whose evidence had gone on for some time, was not sworn on the Testament, but on the Iliad, • statement productive of blank amassment on the part of some, and of no little hilarity on that of others. Mr. Julian, who was engaged in the ems, said he was in formed that several witnesses in the previous cases had been eras on it. Their worships, after a panes of some dura tion, seemed to think there was no help for the matter, and prooseded with the business. Toss LATE Fox KILLING AT Beenmustrus.
