The Stock Exchange to-day was characterised by more heaviness than has been observed for some time past. The funds opened with a downward , tendency at a decline from yesterday's raft.", and, sales being pressed, gradually drooped through-1 out the day, filially closing at the lowest ; point, which represents a fall of !, per cent. Busi ness was far from active, but some isfluential sales were nevertheless effected. There is evidently an increased disposition to sell stock, owing to the growing feeliog that no rapid settlement of the Eastern question is to be looked for. The disposition to speculate for lower prices is only checked by the already oversold position of the market; but it must be remarked that the outstanding speculation , for the fall, though still large, has been diminished by the late purchases. It is noticed that a considerable amount of Three-and-a-Quarter per Cent, and Reduced Three per Cent, stock is supplied by the pxbiic, indicating a feeling of apprehension which had not been heretofore displayed. Money was consequently in increased demand in the Stock Exabaage at 4 pee ma, and upwards. The Paris bourse was reported as closing at a fall of per cent. tercets of the shareholders, and the due application of the company's (undo, under authorised certificates transmitted to them by the committee of management at Cope aliegen, which committee was appointed under royal sanction. The progress of the works is superintended by the said com mittee of management, through whom the contract was originally mad"; and through whose intelligent zeal, and honourable and judicious conduct, the shareholders may rest satisfied that the contract for the works will be carried out in its full integrity. The dielzulties and delay' which had arisen in the drat instance in the way of the expropriation of the land have been adjusted. Certain technical obstacles, which the controlling govern ment eogineer had opposed to the p-ogress of the works, have been removed by the arbitration of two eminent' engineers, Mr. Hawkshaw, of London, and Mr. Schiffer. of Lubeck. Every etrirt is being made to expedite the works, and the contractors, Messrs. Fox, Henderson, and Co., maintain their conviction that the time stipulated for the completion of the undertaking will not be exceeded, provided no unforeseen impediments should arise. Sir Charles Foe, who has just returned from Copenhagen, represents that he sees every re..sua to believe that Mr. Brounger's estimate of a dividend of at least 7 per cent. per annum (as set forth in the prospectus) will be fully realised. A detailed statement of the progress of the un dertaking will be issued with the next half-yearly report. Annexed are the latest reports from continental bourses,as received by Mr.lteuter's telegraphic express: Amsterdam, 1 uesday, closing pricee:—Dutch Four per Cents., 93; 1 ; ditto Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 62 3-16.

The demand for gold for the continent bas become more active. Of the 320,0001. worth of Australian gold, which is now off the coast, on its way to Lon don, on board the Chowringhee, Tartar, and Anna Mary, it is expected that by la: the larger propor tion will be at once taken for exportation. The demand for silver for India shows decided symptoms of revival, and the market fur this metal is consequently sensibly firmer. There is, hem ever, no stock of silver at present in the market on sale. In Mark-lane to-day there was a further rise of about 2s. per qr. in wheat. This was "making-up" day in the railway mar ket. The outstanding transactions in this depart ment prove, as we anticipated, very restricted; but the market is still over-sold, and the heavier stocks were generally wanted for the settlement. There _ was, however, no pressure for stock of moment. Of the lighter shares, Caledonians appear to be chiefly wanted. The terms on which the arrangement of the account has been chiefly conducted are shown below : THIS DAY.—Two o'CLocx.

A telegraphic despatch, dated at Halifax, 12th lutist, states that the Humboldt still held together, but the wind then was from the east, and that there was no poodulity of teems her. The cargo was getting out with culty. Her stern was all under water on the larboard Ode, es far as the wheelhouse. The engine is very little &ban the water ■t ow tide; the cargo forward was ell utter water. The steamer Marion, from New York, ar med on the afternoon of the 10th, and was rendering as tiqlnee.

Only shoed 200 tens of the cargo will be saved out of the 4.50, which was on board when eke left Hans. The Halifax CA/ youth attributes the lose of this vessel to the ignorance of the person who attempted to pilot her into the horbonr, sad intimates that he was not an authorised pilot. it says: There was a more flagrant ease. A fisherman 'p pm+ on the deck of a steamship, which, with her cargo, valued at POO,OOO dollars. He represents himself to he a pilot, and on being asked for his certificate ewes that he has left it in his boat or at home. Confiding in his state ment, and naturally aezious to secure for their passengers rest and refreshments in a friendly port, the officers give him charge of the ship. He alters her course contrary to their judgment. They remonstrate; he perseveres in his stupid inerance, and in a few moments she strikes opus toe Sisters.' and the sea rushes into her with such ra pidity that then is no rescue for human life, but by a frlghtlel squandering and waste of an enormous amount el capital.

Cvarons SERPENTINE Flsn.—A specimen of a very singular and rare serpentine fish was east ashore last week in Sinclair's Bay, a few miles distant from Wick, and was brought into Wick on Saturday week. It has been very mu h mangled by the matter-of-fact fishermen by whom it was discovered, and who, looking at the Ciel Cronin with unscientific eyes, merely thought it was • queer fish, " but 'twas nothing more." Cut up, and " shorn of its fair proportions" as it was, however, it was a very curious specimen of the strange inmates of the "vasty deep." It certainly is a good sea snake, if not the veritable sea serpent. It is now in the possession of Dr. Sinclair, of Wick, who has been at some considerable trouble and expense in rescuing this interesting and rare visitant from demolition, for, in addition to the injury it sustained in its death struggles, the fisheiman's knife had cut it into junks. It was lat. fin. in length from the eye only, and not quite to the tip of the tail, which was injured. The whole of the head to the eye being knacked to pieces by the creature in its death struggles, another foot may probably be added to its length ; its greatest depth being lft. 2in , thickness 33iu., and its weight 11121 b. The eyes are perfect, Ijin. acmes, pupil dark, iris silvery, and placed nearthe top of the head. The head saw mutilated—in fact, the greater part gone—that little fan be add about it. The stumps of a cluster of strong spine.like fine may he observed, wi 11 adapted to support a crest. The pectoral fins arc also rubbed off, the stumps remain, showing twelve fin rays. The grand distinguishing mark, the single horny ventral fin ray on each side, cannot be mistaken; for, alibough only about two inches in length of each are lett, they are of such a size—three-eighths of as inch thick—as to tell the tale that they moat have been of great length. The dorsal fin extends the whole distance front the eye to Rear the tail, the part of it nearly all rubbed off, and only a few stumps o a f .pines left. 'rhe silvery akin and five dark hands passing the whole length of the fish, the !eternal line, and the certuagionue wait like eminences under the skin, are well defined. The vertebral column is cartilaginous, and not threertourths of an inch across, and when cut through appears merely a film filled with a jelly-like sub stance —JOAN o'Grunt's Journal. A MAN DROWNED IN A VAT OP ALE.— IR I Wednesday morning last, about II o'clock, a person named William Lapish, brewer to Mr. Denby, of Selby, was found drowned in a vat of ale of about 400 gallons. The deceased had left his own home a little before 7, and it is supposed he bad fallen in whilst att. nding to his duties about three quarters of as hour before he was found. An inquest was held on the body, but nothing beyond the fact of the wan being found downed was elicited.
