The advices from abroad are uninteresting this week, the Christmas holidays having caused a temporary , suspension of business at most of the principal ports. The weather appears to have been similar to that experienced here, and the nair4ation of the different rivers in the north of Europe was still open. ' Dantsie advice. of the 30th tilt. inform us that but little Int , Aare had been done t here in wheat during the previous week, I bst the supplies having been very small, full terms had bias insisted on. The shipments trout I).intrie during the year 1851 had been 315.600 quarters wheat, 511,600 quarters rye, 19,400 quarters barley, 3,200 quarters oats, mid 3v700 quarter. peas. The stocks in warehouse were estimated to assist of 147,000 quartets wheat, 3,100 quarters rye, 300 quarters barley, and 2,100 peas. So little had been dour during the preceding week as to render quotation. almost Isominal. New wheat of 59 lbs. to 01 Its. was worth from 37 , ' and :old mixed and high nailed 61 lbs. THIS DAY.

Two o'CLooc, The English stock market to-day has shown a de cidedly upward tendency, prices now ranging at an advance oft on the improved rates of yesterday af ternoon. Generally a feeling of greater confidence appears to prevail, though the position of the minis try is still discussed with a good deal of interest in City circles. The transfer books of Consols were this morning opened for the transaction of business by special transfer, the regular opening not taking place till the 16th, and the circumstance has given occasion for the execution of sundry orders which had been standing over. Amongst others, the government broker has made an investment at 971 cx div. on account of the Savings Banks. The price opened 97 to 1 for cash, and 971 to 1 for the account, being about the same as they closed yes terday, and chiefly in consequence of the operation above referred to, they have since advanced to 971 to Z for both money and account.

His object was to traverse Siberia to its north-eastern extremity. and thence to endeavour to math the mountainous lands far to the north of thisring's Strait, beyond which it was conjec turel that Franklin and his companions might he frozen np.

The London Daily Railway Share List, published by authority of the Stock Exchange Committee, has experienced a change of title, and is now called The London Daily Share List, a portion of the sheet being now devoted to a record of the business in mining shares transacted in the Stock Exchange. This is a feature of great importance at the present period, when mining busi ness occupies so prominent a position, as being calcu lated to attract a still larger degree of attention to Wu securities, by fixing more closely their market volow To-day several descriptions of mining slaws met with increased favour, including NM of the new gold companies. Ague PAN hare risen to 1/ to 11 prem.; and Australian gold shares, for which no price could be fixed lately, ace quoted Ito prem., with only Is. paid. Anglo- Californians are marked in the official list 1; Nou veau blondes, 11 West Mariposa, 1. The January dividends will be paid to the public at the Bank of England on Thursday next, the Bth inst., and the transfer books of the annuities now closed will be re-opened on the 16th, including Three per Cent. Consols, the Three per Cent. Anns. 1726, the New Five per Cent. Anns., and the Anne. for terms of years. The dividends on South Sea Stock will be paid on Thursday next, the Bth, and the transfer books will be re-opened on Friday, the 16th. At the India House the dividends on East India Stock will be in course of payment to-morrow (Tuesday), and the transfer books will be re-opened on Thursday, the 15th. In consequence of the competition between the English and American clippers, the French feel called upon to engage in the rivalry. At present they have not a ship of this class afloat, but Mr. A. Normand, of Havre, is now laying down one of 600 tons, which is to be employed on the Brazil line. With extensive imports of coin and bullion regu larly coining in from the United States, the move ment of specie in the French territory is now watched with increased attention. Official returns of the im ports and exports of specie from the Ist January to the 20th December, 18.31, have made their appear ance in the Muniteur, from which it appears that this trade represents a total of no less than 15,762,0761. sterling, of which gold stands for 5,386,4321., and silver for 10,379,2241. The total imports amount to 11,693,6924, and the exports to 4,171,9841., being a balance of 7,421,7084 in favour of imports. A large portion of this specie, however, was doubtless merely in transit, and destined to adjust the balance of trade with the various markets of Central Europe. The subjoined calculation, show the rate per cent. per annum yielded by the various securities cited at the average of the price* which ruled yesterday. Where the asterisk (') is prefixed, it is to be under stood that the share rato of interest is less the in come tax. It will be seen that in every case we take the rate of interest last declared as the basis of our calculation. To render the calculation strictly accu rate, the proportion of interest which may have accemed since last dividend period should, in each owe. be taken into account : Teas per Oma, Omen ...(litat) yield pw seat.to 0 0 threemer Omatallseamed prise 117 f e 3 I 4i NewnesaaairgaerWr pet Orate .

MYSTERIOTS DEATHS AT SIIEFFIELD.—On Sun day morning last, • man of the name of George Hall, and his wife, Elisabeth Hall, were found dead in their bed room, under very peculiar circumstances. The man, by trade a razor smith, was in the employ of Messrs. Rodgers end Son, of Norfolk-street, cutlers, and resided with his wife at Sky Edge, on the eastern side of a portion of Shef field called the - Park. Henry Hall, son of the deceased, resides with an uncle called Itrilliam Whiteley, in an ad joining house. He (the son) went in to pee has parents on Saturday evening, and left about half-past 9 o'clock. Every thing in the house bore its usual aspect at that time, and his parents appeared in their usual health. Ile was surprised to find their window shutters closed, and all still within the house so late as ten o'clock on Sunday morning, and knocked at the door. Receiving no reply be became shinned and pro cured a ladder to get up to the bed-room window. On looking through the window he bale his mother lying on her back on the floor in her night-dress, apparently dead. Ile immediately descended and communicated what he had seen to his uncle, who entered the bed-room by the window, and found the man lying on the floor on the opposite side of the bed to that on which the woman was lying, but in a similar position. Both were quite dead. The body of the man was stiff and cold, but there was a slight degree of warmth remaining in the body of the woman. There were no external marks of violence on the bodies, and everything in the house and bed-room was undisturbed, with the exception that the bed clothes were somewhat die ordered. The cause of death is as yet a profound mystery. Both tho deceased are about ($3 years of age. They have been married some 30 years, and have lived very happily together. The man has been afflicted with a oough, accom panied by an asthmatics' affection, during the present win- I ter ; but has always bees able to atten.l his work with tho exception of a few days on one occasion. EXTRAORDINARY ESCAVE FROM most miraculous instance of preservation from death occurred in the case of a man named James Jefferies, a mason, at Bath, on Thursday last. lie was engaged in repairing a well 60 feet beneath the surface, when shortly before one o'clock the wall of the well gave way, burying the poor fellow beneath an enormous quantity of stones and earth of stn veral tons' weight. A Dumber of people soon congregated on the spot, and several men immediately set to wort to remove the fallen stones, when the excitement soon became intense upon the buried man's voice being heard through more than '2O feet of rubbish which was choking up the well above him. Most providentially the draught of air had not been excluded, and the men continued at their labour incessantly, but it was nearly nine o'clock at night before they succeeded in extricating the unfortunate man, who had thus been buried for eight hours ! He was still alive, but, as may be expected, was in a very exhausted state, and, strange to say, he had received no serious bodily injury.
