The reports received from the various quarters, home, foreign, and colonial, are very few in number and uninteresting in character. The transactions in British mining stocks have been very restricted, and altogether great dulness prevails in this department of business. Dealings in the Fold mining shares were also few in number, and prices were generally flat. and the turn in favour of the buyer, especially in the after noon. At four o'clock Peel River were quoted at 4to 41 prem. ; Colonial Gold, 11 to 1/ prem. ; Port Phillip, to prem. ; British Australian, 1-16 to 3-16 prem.; Great Nugget, 1/ to 2 prem.; Nouveau Monde, 11 to 13 prem. ; Ages Fria, 11 to 11 prem.; Anglo-Californian, Ito prem. Ave Maria and West Mariposa participated in the prevalent depres sion. We are informed that the machinery of this last-named company shipped on board the Porcupine had to be landed at Stanley, in the Falkland Islands, and then transhipped on board a Swedish brig en route to San Francisco, the Porcupine being con demned. It is not expected, however, that the opera tions of the company will be delayed by this contre temps owing to the alteration made by the company's agent in the choice of a mining locality in California. Metcalfe Copper Mine shares continue to recede. The closing price was 9to 10 prem. Copiapo min ing shares were again in strong favour, and decidedly higher. National Brazilian (Cocaes) and Linares were weaker. Shares of the British and Colonial Smelting and Reduction Company, with 11. paid, are officially marked Ito prem. The closing prices of new undertakings are as follows: Now South Wales Coal, dis. to prem. ; Port Hunter and Moreton Bay Coal, to 1 prem. ; Mount Carbon Coal, 4 dia. to 1 prem.; London and Liverpool Australian Gold Mining and Streaming, to prem.; Melbourne Gold, fto 1 per share ; Australian Mutual, dis. to psi ; Australian Consols, 4 dis. to par; Monarch Gold, 3-16th to 1-18th dis. ; Chartered Australian Land and Mining, 1 to 1 per eh.; Worthing (new ohs.), }Sot 1 dia. ; Lewis Hill Range, to dis.; New uth Wales Gold, to per share ; Go/den Mountain.

Business in the several departments of the Stock Exchange has been exceedingly dull, the present being in many respects a partial holiday period. The tone in the house generally has been fiat, owing to the unsettled position of the Eastern ques tion, but the actual depression in prices is slight. Consols ranged between 1001 and 1001, and finally closed 1001 to 1, both for money and the Ist June. In Reduced Threes there was a resumption of the investments on account of the sinking fund. Bank stock remains firm. The official busman report in eludes:--Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 1001, f, t, ; ditto for account, 100 a. Three per Cent. Annuities, 1726, 1001.

The foreign stock market participated in the pre valent dulness. Peruvian stocks were again very fiat. This market is very sensitive to any intelli gence adverse to the maintenance of the guano mono poly, and the statements received from San Francisco relative to an alleged discovery of fresh deposits of this manure seem to have excited some uneasiness., Sardinian and Dutch bonds are firm, and Spanish steady. The list of sales is as follows :—Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cent, 983 ex div.; (exchange, 23f. per pound). Brazilian Old Five per Cent., 1001, ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cent, 1852, 101.

Subjoined are the returns of the progress of the conversion. It would appear that the holders of South Sea stocks are begiumng to move, finding that their assent to receive either of the new stocks must be signified by the 3rd June. The demand is still almost exclusively confined to the Two-and-a-Half per Cent. stock (issued at 1101. per cent.), the Exche quer Bonds being especially neglected. Holders of Consols and Reduced Threes, who may signify their assent any time before the 10th October, are still dis inclined to move. Our notice of the actual provi sions of the Government Conversion Act appears to have placed the matter more clearly before the public. It is surprising to find the ignorance prevailing on the subject amongst parties usually well-informed on each matters, including even many of the stock brokers. This effect is mainly traceable to the in efficiency of the means adopted for giving publicity to all new acts of parliament, and to government notices generally.

The current rates of interest on the bills so sent in, up to the Bth June, will be paid on the 10th June, and the bills, when stamped will (dating from the Bth June) carry the interest payable on Exchequer Bonds of the like amount, viz., 2/ per cent per annum for 10 years, and 21 per cent. after wards. The stamped bills will be exchanged for Exchequer Bond., with the Coupons annexed, so soon as the bonds can be got ready, wLich is not to be later than the Ist September next. The bonds of the Swedish Provincial Mortgage Loan require to be presented at the office of Messrs. Palmer, Mackillop, Dent, and Co., on the Ist June next, on which day the fourth instalment, amount ing to 30 per cent, and in the aggregate to 135,0001 . , is payable. We have before drawn attention to the inconvenience of the arrangements adopted with re gard to this loan. Instead of giving subscribers the option of paying up in fall at once and receiving the usual discount, there is no resource for the holder but to transmit the bonds, wherever he may be, and make the periodical payments. We know that a consi derable number of the bonds will have to be sent over here from Hamburg for this purpose. The half yearly dividend on this debt, due the Ist June, is duly advertised for payment. The supplies of silver brought in by the Orinoco, amounting to about 180,0001. sterling, were sold to day at the reduced price 3 established at the last great sale—viz., ss. Id. per ounce standard for bar silver, and 41. 111 d. per ounce for dollars. The demand was chiefly for India. The annexed unsatisfactory communication rela tive to the Buenos Ayrean debt has been forwarded to us for publication : BUENOS AYRES DEBT. CominrtteeciElpani;itinse7;a:tßondholden, 8, Broad-street•buildings, May 24, 1853. The Committee of Spanish American Bondholders have been favoured with the following communication from Mears. Baring, Brothers, and Co., on the subject of the Buenos Ayrean Debt, the publication of which was delayed for a couple of days, in consequence of the chairman's un avoidable absence from town : " Loudon, May 20, 1853. " Sir,—We beg leave to acquaint you, for the informa tion of the holders of Buenos Ayres bonds, that Major Fer dinand White, who proceeded to Buenos Apra last year at our request, in the hope of making arrangements for the payment of the English loan, has returned to this country ; and we regret to add, that, in the unsettled state of affairs in Buenos Ayres, it hu been impossible for Major White to obtain any settlement of the claims of the English bondholders. It may be satisfactory to the parties inte rested to know, that in Major White's commtuncationsiwith those in authority at Buenos Ayres, they have always re cognised the importance of an early settlement of the Eng lish loan ; and he has received from all parties an assurance of their desire to make such arrangements as might be sa tisfactory to the bondholders, as soon as the state of affairs should enable them to do so. We need hardly add, that, i until peace and tranquillity can be restored, it is not rea sonable to expect the settlement of these claims ; but if affain are re-established on a satisfactory basis, there is reason to believe that the resources of Buenos Ayres would soon be sufficient to meet all such engagements.—We have the honour to be, tic., (Signed) " BARING, BROTREAB, and Co. " David Robertson, Esq., Chairman of the " Committee of Buenos Ayres Bondholders." The undersigned cannot allow the opportunity to pass, in sending the above for publication, without expressing in the name of the committee and his own, the high sense which they entertain of the interest and trouble taken, and of the espense incurred bylMessrs. Baring, Brothers, and Co. on behalf of the bondholders, and of the earnest desire and determination of that eminent house to continuo their efforts until they procure, when practicable, • settle ment of these just clams, and for which they are truly en titled to the thanks, the regard, and the continued confi dence of the bondholders. And, moreover, it is the firm persuasion of the committee that but for the constant changes of government, and consequest unoertainty which has prevailed daring the last twelve months at Buenos Ayres, in political as well as in all other matters, the recent mission of Messrs. Baring, Brothers, and Co., through Major White, would have been crowned with success. The committee have only further to add their belief, that, when peace and a settled and permanent government are happily established at Buenos Ayres, one of the first acts, and one so much and so unanimously desired by men of all partie s throughout the Argentine Republic, will bo the arrange ment of this debt, and that under the auspices and through the medium of Messrs. Baring, Brothers, and Co. DAVID ROBERTSON, ChSirMlll. Australian Land shares were dull, and rather flat. North British Australasian closed, sellers, at prem. ex new.

The share certificates of the Berlin Waterworks Company are advertised as deliverable from Satur day next. In the market for foreign exchange to-day there 1 1 was no striking variation from the rates of last post, but the market preserves its firmness. The supply of bills on Hamburg and Amsterdam was fully equal to the limited request. Three months paper on Paris was more offered, but short bills on that market were unchanged in value. Vienna and Trieste were in rather more request at 11.50 to 11.52. Canada Five per Cent.

Information has been received from the Prussian Post-office, that, according to the regula tions of the German Customs Union, all letters ex ceeding the weight of 50 grammes, received from the United Kingdom, which contain any enclosures, other than paper, are liable to Customs' duties, a n d are consequent l y d e l ivere d over by the Posloffice to the Custom-house. As, under these circumstances, letters not sent in conformity with the prescribed forms are subject to detention, as well as to a fur ther charge beyond the postage, it is necessary to announce to the public the regulations above referred to, and to point out that any letters forwarded in the mail to Prussia, which exceed in weight 50 grammes (about an °awe and a half), and contain any enclosure, other than paper, are li a bl e , on their arrival at the Prussian frontier, to be stopped and sent to the Custom-house for delivery as freight. A STRANGE AFFAIR was on Saturday submitted to the civil tribunal. The facts of it were these :—M. Danloux- Dumeinil t a retired notary, living is the Rue de Londres, received in 1831 the visit of an elderly female, rather meanly dressed, who, after having asked his name and stated that hers was Millie. Baslin, said that she was charged to present him with a smell parcel. She then produced some papers, wrapped up in a sheet of the Petites AfficAes, and opening them, showed that they contained sixty-two bank notes of 1,00 0 . francs each. H. Daniels: asked where the money came from, who sent it, why it was brought to him, and a number of other questions, but the only reply the female gave was, "It is yours, you may safely take it! " and when he hesitated she threatened to throw the notes out of the window. At length, as he was just about to leave on a journey with his family, he propeaed that he should see her on his return. Sue consented, and taking up the parcel, said, You see there is written on it, " This belongs to M. Danloux•Dumesnil, ex notary." If I die before your return, send to my residence, 10, Rue de Sartine, and the parcel will be given to you! " On his return he went to the address indicated, and found to his surprise that his strange visitor occupied a vc ry mean lodging. She again pressed him to accept the 62,000 fr., and he, on his part, required an explanation why they were offered to him. "Ifit be a restitution," said he, " though Ido not remember having been defrauded of 62,000 fr., I will not ask you for a complete confidence, but will be satisfied if you can find any &honourable person to assure me that I may honourably accept the sum you offer. Do you know any rotary or advocate who could give me such an assur ance ? " None." " Have you a contester ? Do you know the cure of your pariah, or any priest ? " "No—l go to mass on Sundays, but do not confess. I have no confi dence in priests. M. Denim': went away without accepting the money, and resolved, from the mystery which hung over the affair, to occupy himself no more about it. Nothing further occurred un til last mouth, when a gentleman dressed in black waited on him, and in very cautious terms reminded him of the present which Mdlle. Baslin had wished to make him. Although the visitor seemed anxious to say little, and find out as much as he could what M. Danloux thought of the affair, he let out that Mdlle. Bailin was dead, and that M. Chatelain, a notary, was charged to wind up her affairs. M. Danloux went to M. Chatelain, and learnt from him that Mdlie. Bailin had left a fortune of about 000,000 francs ' and a parcel bearing the inscription above men tioned, with the 62,000 fr. in it. M. Minions now thought that he might reasonably take the money, and he demanded it. But the heirs of the deceased, one of whom was the gentleman who had waited on him, refused to pay it, on the ground that he could prove that he heel no claim to it He therefore applied to the tribunal, to order that the money should be given to hint. The heirs, on their part. demanded that it shorld be declared to belong to them, as part of the property of Mdlle. Basil's. The tribunal, before giving judgment, authorised M. Danloux to produce formal proofs of the facts alleged by him.— Galignani. SINGULAR APPLICATION TO A MAGISTRATE.—At the Rochester police-court, on Thursday last, the following singular application was made to Mr. Trail, the sitting magistrate, by a man near GO years of age, named Card, and working as &journeyman gardener to Mr. Thompson, of Blackheath-hill. It appeared from the applicant's statement that 22 years ago he left this neighbourhood as a soldier for India, and had recently been discharged on a pension. During the time he was away, his wife regularly wrote to hint ; but on returning home, after so long an ab sence, he found that she was married to another man two years after his departure; and under these cir cumstances he wished the worthy magistrate's advice as to whether he could not marry again ? The answer to this was of course in the negative, Mr. Trail adding, that although hie wife bad committed bigamy it was no justification for hint to do• so also. Finding himself in this dilemma he wished to be further enlightened upon the subject, and very innocently inquired if the magistrate thought "they would give him much" (meaning punish ment) if he were to do so, upon which he was informed that he might be transported for a short time, Mr. Trail adding that he did not think there was much of a chance for him in his preseat position of keeping a wife, unless, indeed, he was looking after the "male chance." The old man smiled, and, taking up his plat, declared that he did not much like to chance it, and then left the court.— Rothester Gazette. SCOTCH COLLEGE IN SPAIN.—A vessel sailed from Greenock on Monday for Santander with fourteen lads, on their way to the Scotch College, which has existed since the time of our Reformation, in the ancient but now decayed city of Valladolid, in the interior of Spain. The young men, one of whom belongs to Greenock, and the others to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Ake., are under the charge of a priest. The superior and professors in this college are all Scotchmen, and the lads are intended to be trained u priests of the church of Rome.—Greenock Ad vertiser. . THE PATENT LAW AMENDMENT Act —Yesterday a return showed that 28,0001. is required to meet the ex penses for the current year of the Patent Law Amendment Act. This is not a charge on the public funds, inasmuch as the receipt of stamp duties, formerly fees to meet the ex penses of the Patent-office, is estimated at upwards of 76,0001. a year. ELECTION Exrv.NsEs.—As mentioned in the Daily News a few days back, there is a bill in the House of Com mons to diminish the expense of elections for members to serve in parliament. It appears that at the last general elections the fees and expenses charged on the candidates amounted to 48,9771.16 , .111., of which sum 46,0291. 16s. W. was paid by the candidates. TILE CLERGY RESERVES IN CANADA.—The act (16 Viet., cap. 21) which was so much discussed in parliament on clergy reserves, has been printed. rower is now given to the legislature of Canada to atter the appropriation of the clergy reserves and the proceeds thereof, and to make such other provisions as shall seem fit. The legislature is, however, not authorised to interfere with existing in terests. ROYAL NAVAL SCHOOL.--The Bishop of London has postponed the consecration of the chapel of this in stitution. SAyrrws BANKS.—A deputation respecting the Savings Banks, consisting of Sir Alexander J. Spearman, Mr. Todd Pratt, Mr. Brotherton, M.P., Mr. Herbert, H.P.,Mr. Sotheron, M.P., Mr. Bramston, M.P., and Mr. lindley, M.P., had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday, at his official residcncgds Downing-street. • Total FOR REfORM BILL ANNIVERSARY.—E 44 borough its own monger.
