Two o'CLocz. The share market opened yen- good this morning, higher prices being in most cases realised, especially for Aberdeens, Great Northenis, Caledonians, Itrightons, Great Westerns, Midlands, South East ern', and lurk and North Midlands ; and although the feeling has become Satter since the decline in Consols, the present range is in many instance still above the last rate of yesterday. The settlement of the account has engaged a great deal of attention, and the dealers have been kept busily employed throughout the day. The requisite arrangements appear to have been satisfactorily effected in all in stances. THIS DAY. Two O'cLocx. The extraordinary rise in the quotations of French Rentes, amounting to abont I I per cent. from the extreme point of depression produced by the re volution, oxen:6es comparatively little effect in the English stock market, probably for reasons connected with the management of the Paris Bourse. already referred to under this head. The chief movement in the Stock Exchange to-day, how ever, is in the railway share market, in which department, owing to this being settling day, the liquidation of the balances has absorbed attention. Although from the extent of business, and the se verity of the fluctuation, difficulty was apprehended in the final adjustment of accounts, it is satis factory to notice that no instance of embarras•anent has been declared. _ Bonk of F.nibuul Pricste funks Joint-unck busks E 18.1493,829 16,171,31 E • 3,611,121. 3.499,N1P1 2,759,04.5 3,74,190 S V 7,56% 111,311 SASS Total in England ticot'and Ireland ........ 2.3,:114,0131 ;atm; yllo -- • tt.1134,197 010,454 4,11111,404 X 300,18 1 3,785 113,1 N FORM OF APPLICA/ DM rem MUM.

Lark& TILE BRITISH CORN TRADE (Free (be Mark Lase Expreu.l The weather during the early part of the week was unusually mild; and, though the temperature has fallen since Thursday, we are still without frost. The moist state of the atmosphere has had an injurious effect on all kinds of new grain, and to this circumstance may be attributed the increased dulness by which the trade has been characterised since our last, rather than to any altera tion in public opinion; indeed, the impression that business in corn will improve after the turn of the year has rather gained ground than otherwise. Nothing has occurred to alter the position of affairs. There is no reason to believe that the supplies from abroad will increase, but on the contrary ; the relative position of prices here and on the continent rendering it impossible to import prom any 'Latter with profit. We are therefore inclined to look upon present depression as likely to prove only temporary, and deem it probable that any reduction which may take place in the present month will be reco egged in January and February. The pecuniary position of many of our farmers will no beet compel them to thrash rather freely during the next fortnight, to raise the needful to meet the different claims fweblental to the season ; but Christmas over, the supplies will, we believe, fall off, and, as the stocks of foreign wheat et the leading ports are now being rather largely drawn tal. , there is reason to suppose that holders will not press what remains for sale. We do not anticipate any very im portant rise, and would not he understood to encourage speculative purchases; but we believe that holders will nut be placed in a worse position by exercising a little patience. The dull tone of the Mark-lane advice.' of Monday last have, however, had their accustomed influence ; and at all the principal provincial markets held since then the value of wheat has shown a decided tendency to decline. Supplies of foreign wheat have almost ceased, only 330 qrs. having entered the port of London this week. Stocks in granary have for some time past been gradually de ' creasing, and they are now so much reduced as to render holders exceedingly firm. 'the country demand has not as pet improved much, and the transactions have again been en a comparatively retail Kale this week; sellers have, nevertheless, manifested more disposition to raise than to lower their pretensions and good qualities were fully as dear on Friday as in th e commencement commencement of the week ; mode rately good qualities of high-mixed Danzig were not ob tainable below 455. to Sfis., and really fine lots were held at 591. per qr., and even higher. In the early part of the week there was a good dial of inquiry for floating cargoes of wheat, and some further ad vance woo demanded. The business actually done since our last has, however, not been very important, owing partly to the want of 'offers at reasonable rates. Egyptian wheat has been held at 275., whilst buyers have declined to pay above 26a. to 260. 6d. per qr. There has been a similar difference between the rates asked and those offered fur Polish Odessa, and for some days put few contracts have been closed. 1 Quotations of town-manufactured flour have not varied, Oa OD sr 110 011140Wiiii superiority of the water, pr..- and the value of country-made has also remaiued much the ehaeagerih►eiitlsue ampolishon on the score &quality, and on' same a, before, but the it de of all kinds of flour has been lieleeme.le•welatowYee tie re .Itmewat. comp,ra altb oar or I slow the last few days.

The general tone of the advice' from the Baltic may be described as somewhat more subdued this week than of late ; but no material reduction in prices seems to have taken place, and quotations are still relatively higher in that quarter than in this country. The accounts alto gether are not of much interest this week, and hardly any thing appears to have been none on the continent un English account (or some time past. From Danzig we learn that the aupplies from the neigh ' bouriug growers, as well as the arrivals down the Vistula, had been small, and that sellers had consequently remained firm, notwithstanding a want of activity in the demand. Only about 2,000 qrs. of wheat changed hands during the week ending the 9th inst., viz., 1,300 qrs. new, weighing about 591bs. per bushel, at 375. fld. to 38s. per qr.; mud 700 qn. common old high.mixed, of 621ba. weight, at 41s. 61. per qr. free oa board. A letter from Elblag states that the potato disease had sot proved so serious as expected, anti that the speculative dranaad for rye was beginning to subside ; it was mass- quently deemed probable that holders of wheat would be come somewhat more tractable during the winter, if no- thing should occur to give a fresh impetus to business. At Konigsberg, on the 6th December, fair high-mixed wheat was quoted 40.. 6d. to Ca. ; mixed, 375. 6al. to 39.. 6J. ; and red about the same. Rye was still worth 365. to 35; Gd., and barley and oats were also dear ; the former being quoted 235. 9d. to 240. 9d., and the latter, though of very light weight, 13s. to 13s. 6d. per qr. free on board in spring. At the Lower Baltic ports prices appear to have been firmly aupoortcd, and in sonic cases ever. to have advanced, owing to the necessity to buy to cover forward contracts entered into previously with Ilamhure speculators. At Rostock, on the lir h inst. superior heavy qualities of new wheat, weighing 62Ibs. per bushel, were readily sale able at equal to 395., 611 b. parcels at 38s. to 38s. 6d. per qr. free on board. Freight to London was still low and first class vessels had been oftred at 3s. 3d. per qr. Holders of wheat were, however, in general unwilling to consign, and very little was being shipped for England. The quality of the new wheat continues to be described as good, but not so fine as in some termer season, few samples weighing over 62145., and the hulk of what had appeared hal not reached that point. Peas had been in lively request, and had sold at equal to 265. Barley had also been inquired for, and was then worth 22a. per qr. free on board. Wismar letters of the Bth of December quote wheat of 61Ibs. weight, 404. ; barley, weighing 531b5. , 21s. ; and white boiling peas, 2.35. per qr. free on board in spring. At Hamburg, on Tuesday. the trade was decidedly quiet, and but little was done in wheat either on this spot or for shipment from outports. Good 611bs. red, to be shipped from Pomeranian ports, had been held at 425. 9d., and the some weight from Holstein 40s. 62. per qr. tree on board. Barley bad slightly receded in value, and good 53 to qualities, deliverable at a Boni*); port in spring, might have been bought at 225. 9d. per qr. free on board. In oats no particular change had occurred, Jutland of 381bs. weight having brought equal to 16s. 9d. per qr. In the Dutch markets some further decline seems to have taken place, and fine new white Zealand wheat was obtain able at Rotterdam, on Monday last, at 40,. Gd. per qr. free on board, being a reduction of quite Is. per qr. on the rates current en that daysennight. The news from !''ranee is not of much interest, but busi- ness seems to have partially recovered from tin; shock it had:received in consequence of late political events. Letters from hlarseilles of the 10th lheember mate that confluence was being restored among the mercantile clung, and a better trade was expected. Stocks of foreign wheat were not large, but good supplies were known to be on pas sage from the Week Sea parts. Polish Odessa wheat was quoted 305., and Marianopoli 335. Gd per qr. free on board.

MANCHVTER, DEC. 15.—Priciss opened rather low, and there were but few transactions in the morning, but every thing improved after dinner, and a large business was done at increasing prices. The sales included :—Leeds, 561 57 / 1 ; Sheffield, 32 1 ; Midland, 551 6; Caledonian, 151 1 York and North Midland, 211; )oven, 2041; Cheshire Junction, 114 d.—Leeds Fifths, 81 ills. LEEDS, DEC. 15.—We have had a weaker market gene rally this morning. Midlands, compared with Saturday's spotations, have declined 11. They closed this morning at ud for the account, end of Deoeniber. The other closiog sales were as follows : Lancashire and Yorkshire (fifths), 81 dis.; North Western (!'refs.), 12; Leeds Northern Eitensiolla ' (No. 1), 2 dis. ; North Westerns, 131 dis. ; South Lusters and Dovers, 20. BIEMISOHAM, DEC. I.s.—This market was rather firmer to-day, and prices advanced. South Stafferds were done at Wis. Bitissot., Dec. 15.—There was a moderate amount of business done to-day, but prices were scarcely so firm. Bristol and Ezeter closed at 79; Taff Vales at 149; and ditto New at 1 3-16 prem.

THE GEORGE STEPHENSON TESTIMONIAL.—A meet- 1 ing of the committee of the George Stephenson Testimonial has just taken place-3,0001. has been raised. It has been decided that the statue shall be erected in the courtyard of Ruston station. This is said to be the place most consonant to the feelings of Mr. Robert Stephenson. CURRENCY IN THE CHANNEL ISLANDS.—At meeting of the Jersey Chamber of Commerce lust week the following resolutions were carried; " That it would not be advantageous to make any alteration in the present state of the copper currency. (It bad been moved that the copper currency of Jersey should be assimilated to the British, the shilling to be divided into 12 pennies instead of 1 13 as at present.) That the chamber do recommended the states to order a further issue of copper money to the ex- I tent of 3,0001." ; CALIFORNIA AND THE SANDWICH IsLANDS.—A letter dated San Francisco, Oct. 31 says : " For some time back there has been a good deal of political speculation afloat here as to the objet's of an expedition which has been got up for the Sandwich Islands. Many reasons have been publicly assigned, but cone of them appear satisfactory, nor de any of these reasons account tor the singular movement which has taken place. Two American clipper ships— Game Cock, of 1,392 tons, and the Witch of the Wave, of 1,498 tons burden—sailed with a portion of this expe dition on the 27th ult., consisting of about three hun dred ' volunteers' on board. Both vessels cleared at the Custom-house for Hong Kong, and neither reported the number of its passengers, as usual. Of the personnel of this collection it is sufficient to say that it is of every mixed character; of its polities,: that the peculiar tenet of the modern Republican creed, known by the phrase ' universal destiny,' is entertained by all; of its pecuniary means— although it is a fact that a few of the parties forming the expedition possess that amount of respectability accorded by the world to the ' man of property'—it may with equal truth be remarked of the majority, that they hare ' everything togain, and nothing to lose,' by the result. A third vessel, the Colonel - Fremont, a fast-sailing brig, is preparing to follow the Game Cock and the Witch of the Wave with another batch of volunteers in a few days. The most mysterious tart of the affair is where the funds come front to set this expedition afloat ; for it was argued that even if the ' volunteers" pay was postponed—a likely enough arrangement—yet they must hare (had and other necessaries to ' keep them in the flesh. The only feasible solution of the mystery is the following, which. be it true or be it false, came from some of the princi pals' in the expedition : You are aware that the King of the Sandwich Islands some time ago made a proposition to the United States' government for the surrender of his territories upon conditions which would soon lead to ann..aation,' and, probably, as some say, to an annuity to the monarch, in which arrangement his old and faithful ministers would not be forgotten. But, as I do not know the underplot of this little farce, I can merely mention the current opinion. The gentleman who was the bearer of these propositions touched at San Fran cisco on his way back, and gave oat publicly that he carried a negative answer from Washington, but, at the same time, let it be known privately and confidentially that the government would be very glad to have the Sandwich Islands somehow ; and would support a movement on the part of California to accomplish the de sired object 'on its own hook'—to use the elegant phrase ;Amy informant. Such an intimation, coming from such a source and through such a channel—for the envoy was the American Consul at Honolulu—had its effect, and the cape dition was the consequence. Yet, still, this does not account for the ' ways and means.' Touching my inquiries un this point, I was distinctly told that they were supplied by the government. The truth of this I cannot, of course, vouch for, and can oak repeat that it is the statement of one who ought to know all about the expedition. How else the funds could have been raised cannot be accounted for. The alleged object of the parties being merely , to ' spend the winter in the more genial climate of the Sandwich Islands" is all fudge. Why, many of them were quite adrift here, and could not raise funds to pay the ordinary elm:met of exist ence. How could, then, this portion of the party afford such • " pleasure trip," and in vessels with such " appoint ments ? I believe they have not taken " arms" in the military meaning of the term, but there is such a large col lection of heterogeneous weapons of offence always here, anti with some of which every man is supplied, that a con siderable collection could easily be made and shipped with. oat catkin/ much curiosity. Then, remembering the elm ratter of the inhabitants who me to be encountered, a few of Colt's resolvers might be " calculated" upon fur doing a good deal in such hands.

In India Bonds scarcely anything is doing. In the foreign stock market there has been a thir share of movement, although the settlement of the account has been completed ; and the prices realised in the mums of the morning in many instances exhibit an im provement. Mexican Bonds have further ad vanced, the question of the 2,500,000 dots. of the American indemnity money due to the bond holders, affording an opening for specula tion. Sardinian Bonds have also been in better favour, a purchase of 50,000/., besides other minor operations, having been made at ti.l, or a rise of 2 per cent.

The subjoined calculations show the rate per cent. per annum yielded by the various securities cited at the average of the pricea which ruled yesterday. Where the asterisk (') is prefixed it is to be under stood that the share rate of interest is less the in come tax. It will be seen that in every ease we take the rate of interest last declared as the basis of our calculation.

On comparing the above returns with the fixed issues of the several banks, we find the following to be the state of the circulation : The fixed issues of the private banks of England and Wales being at present, after deducting those which have ceased to issue, 4,098,075/., it follows they were below the amount 1,198,465/. -The fixed issues of the joint-stock banks being 3,409,967/., it follows they were below the amount 626,797!. The fixed issues of the Scotch banks being 3,087,209/., it follows they were above the amount' 503,230/., but with specie in hand to cover the ex cess, and issues for 371,536/. besides. The fixed issuesof the Irish banks being 6,334,494/., it follows they were below the amount 1,506,088/., with specie in hand to cover issues for 1,144,963/. more. We find, therefore, that the note circulation of the private and joint stock banks of England and Wales was 1,825,262/. below the amount authorised to be issued; and that, inclusive of Scotland and Ireland, the circulation was, on balance, 2,825,100/. below the fixed amount. The average amount of coin and bullion held by the Bank of 'England in both departments during the four weeks ending the 29th Nov. was 15,777,2341., showing an increase on the previous month's return of 620,5281. The average stock of specie held by the Irish banks during the same period was 1,144,9651., being an increase on the return for the previous four weeks of 106,396/.

THE GREAT CHRISTMAS CATTLE MARKET. Notwithstanding that the show of stork in the Baker street Bazaar, last week, was by no means equal to that of 1850, either as regards number or quality—the total de crease in the supply being upwards of Idle hundred head— it was pretty generally understood that the arrivals of beasts lit for Christmas consumption, up to our market yesterday, would be on a very extensive scale. Entering the market from the south side, we were met with about 8181 pure Devons—wholly red, of course—of the most symmetrical form, and of great weight. Near thy Hospital, we next beheld a similar number of pure Ilerefordii, about two hundred of which were derived from Buck inghamshire. Passing into the centre of this great supply, we found ourselves surrounded with masses from Lincoln shire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire —in other words, the well-known short horns. Continuing our in quiries, we presently reached the Dothan's, which, though tew in number, elicited the marked approbation of 1110 visitors. The old-fashioned Sussex stock next claimed our attention, and we felt a most decided conviction that this breed has been suffered to decline from the wont of duo support and attention in some quarter or other. Passing to that portion of the market in which the Scots were ex hibited, we found those by far the best collection from the "far north" ever beheld. The Aberdeenshire animals, mostly brought by railway, were unrivalled. From Norfolk and Suffolk the supply of Scots was large. As regards the other breeds, they were mostly in first-rate condition. Ex clusive of the leading counties, arrivals took place from Northumberland, Cumberland, Staffordshire, Shropshire, ltutlandshire, and Yorkshire. Taking the collection as a whole, number and general weight considered, the Here fords may be considered an the hest portion of it. The short horns unquestionably took the second rank, and the Devon% the third. We may further remark that, generally speaking, the beasts showed greater signs of age, conse quently were riper and snore valuable to the butchers than in the ordinary run of years. As might be expected, the attendance of both town and country buyers was very nu merous, and large numbers of prime beasts were disposed of for conveyance to distant parts of the country, viz., Hull, Bristol, Brighton, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, &c. The supply of sheep was small; big sheep were not so much in request as on formeroccasions ; indeed, the fancy for show things seemed is be on the decline. Sizeable sheep were dearer. There were very few calves on offer; there was nut much demand, but owing to the shortness of supply they were dearer. From Gerniany and Holland there were 344 beasts, 2,170 sheep, and 2t calves. Scotland, 350 beasts. Norfolk and Suffolk, 400 beasts; 3,200 from Leicester, Northampton, and Lincoln; and '220 sheep wad 13 calves from France.
