Consols have risen 1 per cent., and some of the specu lative foreign stocks ito 1. Home railway stocks likewise retain an upward tendency. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 66fr. 35c., being sc. lower than yesterday.

Owing, however, to the less favourable position of the continental ex changes, there is some revival in the demand for ex portation, about 50,000 of the supply by the City of New York having been taken yesterday for abroad. . . In advance has taken place in many kinds of American securities. The Federal Government Bonds and Virginia Six per Cents have more espe cially responded to the successes of the Northern forces, and yesterday rose 24 to 3} per cent. The colonial produce markets closed yesterday afternoon, and business will not be fully resumed until Tuesday, Jan. 5.

The prospectus of the National Volunteer Hotel Company (Wimbledon) Limited is issued, with • proposed capital of 120,000'., in 12,000 shares of 101. each. The object is to build a large hotel on Wimbledon Common for the accommoda tion of the members of the National Rifle Associa tion and of the public generally. It is proposed to construct the building upon a scale of magnitude ; it will contain upwards of 200 bedrooms, and the arrangements are to be those of a convenient family hotel. It is pointed out that the site ob tained is accessible by three railway stations as well as by omnibuses and steamboats. The direc tors state that they bare received numerous assu rances of support, and Monday, the 25th January, has accordingly been fixed for the allotment of the shares. - —.— The Littlebampton, Havre, and Honfleur, Steam ship Company (Limited) have chartered a steamer, which has been already engaged in working between Newhaven and Dieppe, and the traffic will, it is understood, be commenced as soon as the neces sary arrangements are completed. The Union Bank of England and France has published a balance-sheet and statement of opera tions, made up to the date of its amalgama tion with the European Bank. The statement ex tends over the first seven months of the existence of the bank, and shows gross profits 8,2031. fis. Id., against current expenses 6,5251. 12s. lld, leaving a net profit of 1,0521. We extract from the circular as follows : . . The directors cannot refrain from calling the attention of theshareholders to the fact that the gross profits (exceeding 8,0001.) have proved in the few first months of the hertkre existence the souod principles upon which the establishmeet Is based, while as au indication of the nature of its borders, it may be mentioned that, among tremble tines involving several millions sterling, the managers have incurred no bad debts of any description. The correspondents of the bank,' is all quarters of the lobe, have been carefully selected among houses of the highest standing in the financial world, and the cordial re lations established between these houses and the bank form an important feature in the good prospects of the share holders of the company. The branches of the European Bank in Amsterdam and Rotterdam are now firmly es tablished and carry on a good and rapidly increasing busi ness ; and a local committee of gentlemen of high standing has been appointed for the supervision of these branches. The management of the bank, both in Loa on and Paris, has been prudently and zealously conducted to the satisfac tion of the directors, and it is firmly believed that the European Bank (Limited) has every prospect of continued prosperity. It is notified that the transfer books of the Copenhagen Railway Company will be closed from the Ist to the 7th of January, for the purpose of preparing the half-year's interest warrants, at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum on the called up capital, and on the amount paid in anticipation of mills. - - - The first ordinary meeting of the Midland Bank ing Company (Limited) is convened for the 15th of January.

With reference to the market for American secu rities, Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite reports as follows : The market for American securities in London has shown increased activity during the past. week.

East Russell have been dealt in in the S tock Exchange at ss. and si, being better. Cambrian Consolidated Gold shares exhibit an im proving tendency. Transactions are recorded at to I.

Mr. Davi has removed to Springbok from Speetakel, and a engaged is examining the heaps of refuse there, after which he wfdl visit Onkiep and other places near. The post that arrived from Namaqualand on the 13th did cot bring in the reports and oast sheets of last month, and I fear they ma y arrive too late on the 20th for the steamer. Bills of lading have been received for 166 tons of ore per Johanna, for SWIDIMMA, and for 20 tone per mail steamer ; sod by the last reports it appears that there were about 2,000 tons of ore on the beach."
