SWAM dada to-day. 101 ITS IS 73 3, z d FRIDAY Xvintnta. _ The market for the home funds, after the ad vance of yesterday, partially fell back to-day, and showed considerable flatness at one period of the af ternoon. At the close of business, however, the actual decline from yesterday's rates was slight. The operations throughout the Stock Exchange were generally unimportant. It would appear that the stringency of the money market, as might naturally have been expected, is exercising a depressing in fluence on the funds, irrespective of the feeling of uneasiness maintained in connexion with the still unsettled Eastern question. The Paris Bourse was reported by telegraph as closing at a further improve ment, but no corresponding effect was produeld here. Consols opened this morning 98,1 to 1, improved for a short time to 981 to 1, but had receded at the official close to 98 to 1. At 4 o'clock, however, a rally to 981 to 1 had succeeded. The quotation for money rued throughout the day almost identical with that for the Bth Sept. The official business re port includes :—Three per Cent. Console, for money, 981, 1, 98 ; ditto, for account, Bth Sept., 981,1. Three per Cent. Reduced, 99, 981, 1. Three-an - a-Quarter per Cents., 1011, 1. Long Annuitiee,lB6o, 51, 5 15-16. Bank Stock, 2281. Exchequer Bills were dull, and last quoted 3s. dia. to par. ; tut some buyers were accommodated at Is. dis. India Bonds were again rather lower, at 178. to 20s. prem. In the foreign stock market, with a quiet business, prices were very firm, and Mexican, Spanish, Rus sian, and Peruvian Deferred were better. Mexican reached 261 to 271. At 4 o'clock, Mexican Bonds were quoted 261 to 27 ; Peruvian Deferred, 58 to 60; Granada Active, 21 to 22 ; ditto, Deferred, 81 to 91; Spanish Deterred Threes, 234 to 2 ; the Cer tificates, 61 to 6/ per cent. Sales are thus marked : Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Bonds, 98/ (ex change, 25f.). Brazilian Old Five per Center, 1011. Buenos Ayres Six per Cent. Bonds, 63. Chilian Three per Cents., 80. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 64/, 1, 65 ; ditto, Four per Cent. Certifi cates, 98. Mexican Three per Cents., 261, 27. Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Bonds, 831, 83. Russian Five per Cents., 1171; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 102. Spanish Old Three per Cent., 471, 1; ditto New Deferred Three per Cents., 231, 1. Money to-day was in active demand in the open market, and the minimum discount rate was 31 per cent. The tendency of the market seems steadily upwards, consequent upon the general activity of trade. As the rate "out of doors has now advanced to the minimum charge of the Bank of England, it is to be inferred that the bank, after being so long shut out of the discount market, will now experience an 1102611i011 of business. The remittances of gold to the continent are not so heavy as of late; but this is solely owing to the fact that the late Australian supplies have been exhausted. The demand for France continues unabated, and, under present circumstances, any fresh imports of the precious metal would only remain here long enough to allow of the melting process being carried through. As we have before explained, the chief profit on the trans mission of gold across the Channel consists in the silver contained in the gold, the refining process being carried on in Paris on a large scale, and with great economy. Californian gold, owing to its con taining double the quantity of silver to that existing in the Australian product, is preferred for remit tance; but the quantity of silver contained in Aus tralian gold is yet sufficiently considerable to allow of its exportation at a profit. The gold held by the Bank of England being " fine gold, is not suited for remittance in this way ; and, moreover, parties would have to buy it of the bank at the rate of 31.175. 100. per ounce, which, uuder present circumstances, would not leave a profit. The drain on the Bank's stock, however, continues. The dividend on the shares of the Paris and Rouen Railway, for the first half of the present year, amounting to 26L per share, is now in course of payment. In the market for foreign exchanges to-day the tendency was slightly, but only slightly, more favourable. Paper on Paris was in less demand at 24.97 if. to 25f. for short, and 25.20 f. to 25.25 f. for three months. On Amsterdam the rate was unal tered. For bills on Hamburg there was rather more inquiry at 13.61, which was the rate genet ally paid. Drafts on St. Petersburg were done at 381 d. Vienna was in demand at 10.55, and Trieste at 10.57. Bills on Italian places were very much offered, particularly Leghorn, at 29.85 to 90, and Genoa at 25.40 to 45. The prospectus was to-day issued of the Wark worth Dock Company, with a capital of 100,0001. The object is the formation of docks at Warkworth in connexion with the works of the tidal harbour already being constructed there under authority of acts of parliament, and upon which it is stated 183,0001. has already been expended. In accordance with the ; provisions of an act obtained in 1851, which authorises the construction of the dock, the amalgamation of the dock company with the harbour has been decided on, the dock company purchasing all the debentures issued for the latter, so that the harbour tolls and dock dues e ill come into one fund. Eminent contractors, it is stated, under- take to construct the works required for 110,0001., of which 20,0001. will be taken in paid-up shares; and offer to guarantee, for five years, interest at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum 0., the shares and deben tures, the contractors taking the profits in the meantime. Australian Agricultural shares were firmer to-day, and closed 34 to 33. Van Diemen's Land left off flatter, at 161 to 17. Other laud shares were quiet. Scottish Australian Investment were last quoted to 2 prem. Crystal Palace shares cloud 11 to 1:1 prem. Austinllan Banks were steady. Shares of the London Chartered Bank of Australia were rather better, and those of the Bank of India, China, l and Australia, flat. Oriental Bank shares continue to advance, being well baught. Peninsular and Oriental Steam shares mark 77 to !. Netherlands Land were bought at A prem. The shares of the Great Water Company of France were quoted to I prem. I Notice is given that application has been made for a charter for " The Royal Conical Flour Mill Company." The report of tho Netherlands Land Inclosure Company, just issued, enters into a lengthened set ics of remarks on the circumstances by which the opera tions of the company have been checked, but reite rates the confidence of the directors in the success of the undertaking. It appears that immediately alter the completion of the first inclmure, in the month of Februsry last, a storm of unexampled viol, nee attacked the works and caused a damage, which it was held impossible to repair until the return of settled weather in spring. T ne directors had, there fore, the mortitiemion of being compelled to leave open this breach until the month of May, when a contract was made with experienced Dutch contractors for its repair, and for the permanent security of the works. The directors have now adopted a system, which they express their confidence will lead to earlier and more beneficial results. This consists in the construction of the barrier or causeway from the main land to the Island of South Beveland, which, whilst serving the purpose of uniting these two fe r til e p rov i nces o f t h e k - ingdom of Holland, will also, by arresting the cur rent, cause the waters of the Scheldt to deposit rapidly on each side of it the rich alluvial matter they hold in suspension, and which forms the soil of the fine polders around. The directors have, there fore, under the advice of Mr. Bidder, made arrange ' meats with the contractor, Mr. Fowler, for the construction of fig important work at the earliest possible period, and announce that Mr. Fowler has undertaken to com plete both the canal and the barrier for 320,0001. (being the sum agreed to be paid to the original con tractor), with the additional advantage that he in cludes in that price the payment of interest to the shareholders half-yearly at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum during the period of construction. This in terest will commence from the let January last, and is independent of the profits which may be divisible from ume to time from the revenue of the land brought under cultivation. The original capital of 500,9094 it is stated, will be amply sufficient; and, by raising 260,0001. au d:bentures, it will be unne cessary to call up more than 21. per share, making U. per share paid. The report concludes by stating " That the extent of about 35,000 acres of land can be secured in a reasonable time, within the limits of the concession. The average cost of such enclosure, including Mr. Fowler's contract, is estimated at lam; than 201. per acre, and the quality of the land is such as to ensure its sale at more than double that price." Annexed are the latest reports from continental bourses, as received by Mr. Reuter's express : Amsterdam, Thursday, closing prices: Dutch Four per Cents., 951; ditto Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 63 11-16 ; Spanish Deferred Three per Cents., 23: ' • the Certificates, 6 9-16 ; the Old Three I per Cent.

'these prices show little variation. Paris closing prices of this day :—Four-and•a-Half per Cent. Rentes, 104.50; ditto Three per Cents., 80.30. Bank shares, 2,835. This market has experienced a further, though not considerable, advance. Vienna, Thursday :—Five per Cent. Metallics, 94:; Exchange on London, 10.41; Bank Shares, 1,407. 1, 11 lia The account of the position of the Bank of Eng land for the week ending Saturday, the Gth August, is as follows: BANS OF Eli for the week ceding Aug. 6. 1863.

This return, when compared with the previous week's balance sheet, shows the following re sults: Circulation issue Circulation active 23,522,795 Increase 160,505 Public deposits 2,218,227 Increase 42,962 Other deposits Government securities in lU;kingciepiit — Mer..7: 13,027,333 Deereue 210,000 Other securities in banking department Coin and bullion in both --- -- --- --- departments Seven day and ether bills 1,576,361 Increase 118,004 The Rest The Reserve 7,911,765 Decrcue 475,052 In the present state of the money market, this re turn exhibits changes of considerable significance, and fully confirmatory of the views to which we have given expression. The large falling off in the Bank's stock of gold, in face of heavy Australian supplies, attests the magnitude of the drain to the Continent, to which we have of late made an especial point of drawing attention. The large increase in private se-' clarifies shows that the Bauk is at length meeting with ordinary commercial business, owing to the rates out of doors having now become approximated to its own. Simultaneously with this, we find that the Bank has further reduced its stock of government securities. The reports connected with the move ment in this item were referred to by us in the week iu question. On the whole, this return is not of a reassuring character. COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

I am no friend to gentlemen who wilfully affect external oddity, while they are within all dull and common place. lam not dispose 1 by carrying a beard myself to beard public opinion. But opinion may change ; we were not always a nation of shavers. The day may again come when tt 'T will be m'-rry in hall, when beards wag all," and Britons shall no more be slaves to razors. I have never read of aavages who shaved themselves with flints; nor have I been able to discover who first introduced among civilised man the tonsure of the chin. The shaven polls and faces of ecclesiastics date from the time of Pope Anacletus, who introduced the custom upon the same literal autho rity of scripture that still causes women to wear bonnets in ouv churches, that they may not pray uncovered. Saint Paul, in the same chapter, further asks the Corinthians, "both not even nature itself teach you that if a man have long hair it is a shame unto him ?" Pope Anacletus deter mined, therefore, to remove all shame from churchmen, by ordering them to go shaven altogether. The shaving of the beard by laymen was, however, a practice much more ancient. The Greeks taught shaving to the Romans, and Pliny records that the first Greek barbers were taken from Sicily to Rome by Publius Ticinius in the 454th year after the building of the city. The Greeks, however—certainly it was so with them in the time of Alexander—seem to have been more disposed to use their barbers for the pruning and trimming than for the absolute removal of the beard, and of that ornament upon the upper lip which they termed the mystax, and which we call—using the same name that they gave to it, slightly corrupted—moustache. In the best days of Greece few but the philosophers wore unpruned beards. A large flowing beard and a large flowing mantle were in those times as naturally and essentially a part of the busi ness of a philosopher, as a signboard is part in these days of the business of a publican. So there is a small joke re corded of an emperor, who having been long teased by an importunate talker, asked him who or what he was. The man replied in pique, " Do you not see by my beard and mantle that I am a philosopher ? "—" I see the beard and mantle," said the emperor, "but the philosopher, where is he ?

NEWRY AND ENNISKILLEN.—SEVENTEENTII OR DINARY GENERAL MEETING.—The report of the directors, to be submitted to the meeting on the 16th of August, states that the receipts for the last half-Year amount to 1,026/. Ils. 2d., and the payments to 5,6991. Is. 81. The directors have much pleasure in announcing that the bill in parliament promoted by this company has received the royal assent, and they consider it a matter of congratulation that all questions touching the extension of their line to the landing quay at Newry, and a junction with the line of the Dublin and Belfast Company arc thus terminated in favour of this company. In the passing of this bill, however, the Board of Trade objected to the introduction of any clause giving power at present to make working arrangements with any other company, it being at variance with the teas ' lusions of the House of Commons, that no such arrange ments should be permitted until parliament had matured a general measure far the future government of railways. I 'f he shareholders are aware that the sole object of the go -IYernment is the prevention of the amalgamation of large companies to the prejudice of the public, but it is also generally expected that compulsory powers and additional facilities will be given to small companies like the present, .to work their lines in conjunction with other companies.
