The only plea being a denial of the engagement—if it had become neosseary for him (which he was happy to say it was not) he should have showed the jury by a oorrespoodemos exteodiag over Veen sod years that the peamis had bees made and renewed • and he should also bare showed them that Major-Generai Hughes bad now put it oat of his power to perform his promise to Miss Langan, inasmuch as he had married another lady. This being so, and the breach not being jus tified in any way, the only possible question would be the amount of damages. He bad therefore conferred with his leaned friend who appeared for the defendant, and had arranged the amount of damages to be paid • and the only duty of the jury would be to give a verd ict in accordance with that arrangement. Mr. Colendge said that through the candour of his learned friend he had bad an opportunity of seeing the letters of Major-General Hughes ; and after havieg seen them he felt that it would be idle to take up the time of the jury with the question whether a promise to marry had been mad% fur the letters showed abundantly cooclusive to his mind that such a promise had been made ; and therefore the oaly question was one of damages for barb% broken a promise very solemnly entered into. Under than circumstances he had agreed co the part ci Major-Gime& Hughes to give substantial damages. He was bound also to say that having heard from his loused friend that there was a letter in which Miss laapn thought that Major-General Hughes made some red ection upon her, he wished to say that there we no intention to cast the smallest imputation d any hied ; end Lilt if there remained any suspicion that there was an im putation, Major-General Hughes, through him, withdrew it.

Two o'Cuxim The stock markets to-dayare dui], business being very inactive, owing to the approach of the holidays. The funds are quoted per cent. lower than they closed yesterday. There is little change in foreign stock,, but the market is dull in character. Home railway securities exhibit a slight tendency to improve ment. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Renter opened at Mr. 40c., being sc. better than yesterday. Consols are now quoted 911 to 1, ea div., for money, and 911 to 1 1 , ex div., for the account (Jan. 7). The official business report is u fol lows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 911, ; ditto, for account, 91/ ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 911, 1,1 ; New Three per Cents., 911, 1 ; India Five per Cent. Stock, 1061, ; ditto Four pertent. Debentures. 1864 or 1866, 99g, 1 ; Five per Cent. " enlaced" rupee paper, 1031 ; ditto Five-and-a-Half per Cent., 1131 ; and Exchequer Bills, 44., 9s. dia. Foreign stocks are quiet. The chief business has been in Mexican Bonds, which, after being dealt in between 351 and 36k, are now quoted the same as yesterday afternoon—at 36 to 1. Greek Bonds are 1 lower, at 241 to 25 ; Turkish Con solidds, 1 better, at 461 to 1 ; and Spanish Passive steady, at 33 to 1. Venezuela Six per Cents. remain heavy. Transactions are recorded as follows :—Buenos Ayres, for account, 93 ; Dutch Certificates, 1001 ; Egyptian, 991; Greek, for account, 2g, 1, 25 ; ditto Coupons, for account, 111 ; Mexican, fur account, 38, 351, 361, 36, k ; Portuguese, 1856, &c., for ac count, 481; ditto scrip, 1 prem. ; Russian, 1850, 8841 ; Spanish, for account, 54 ; Turkish, 1854, for account, 884 ; ditto 1858, for account, 691,1; ditto 1001. Bonds, 72 ; ditto 1862, for account, 701, 71 ; Venezuela, for account, 23g, ; ; ditto, 1862, for account, 544, 54. International Financial shares are quoted 44 to 4 prem. ; General Credit, 2} to prem. ; Lon don Financial, 9 to 4 pram. ; Mercantile Credit, to 5} prem. ; Hudson's Bay, n to 2} die. ; Egyptian Trading, 1} to 11 prem. ; Merchant Banking, n to 44 prem. ; Land Mortgage Bank of India, 2} to 2} prem.; English and Swedish Bank, 2 to 4 prem. ; East London Bank, 2 to i pram. ; Discount Cor poration, 31 to 4} prem. ; Floating Dock, 1 to 11 prom. ; Contract Corporation, n to n prom. ; and Consolidated Discount Company, 2 to 1 prem. In Mexican Bonds speculative purchases are being encouraged by the belief that the French will steadily crush out the opposition party, while the continued collection of the bondholders' pro portion of the customs duties and their transmis sion to the proper quarter prove that the foreign assignments are duly respected. Those holden who sold their Mexican Bonds a few months ago when the price was nearly 48, now evince a dis position to pick them up again. At the Bank of England yesterday the demand was very moderate, and in the general market the terms for choice paper did not exceed 74 to 73 per cent. The fact is that, under the influence of the disquietude which lately prevailed, the com mercial public have supplied themselves with a much larger amount of money than they are usually in possession of at this period of the year, while at the same time the high rates ()tiered for capital have the natural effect of bringing iu a supply from every available quarter. About 140,0001. in bar gold was bought by the Bank yesterday, and there were no withdrawals. Some parcels of sovereigns, however, are expected to be taken in a day or two, for transmission to Brazil by the steamer which will leave Marseilles on the 25th lost. The Arabia, from Boston, has brought 6,0001. in specie. The drain of bullion from France to the East and to Egypt continues. The Messageries Imp& riales steamer Moeris, which left Marseilles on the 19th inst., took 100,8991. in specie for India and China, and 102,4 2 01. for Alexandria. The amount of bills on India for which tenders will be received at the Bank of England on the Gth January will be rupees 50,00,000 (500,000 L) The Stock Exchange will be closed on Saturday next, the 26th inst., by order of the committee. The great ma)ority of the chief commercial esta blishments will also be shut on that day, which is expected to be observed as an almost universal holiday. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have appointed Wednesday next a special settling day in the shares of the National Steam Navigation Com pany (Limited), which are to be officially qnoted. The committee have also ordered the shares of the Upper Assam Tea Company to be marked in the official list. _ _ The Brighton Railway traffic return shows this week a decrease of 1,2171. compared with last year ; and the South Eastern an increase of 1,3181. Some dissatisfaction is expressed by the parties interested at learning that the payment just an nounced on Ottoman Bank shares is not to take place until the 15th January. It is urged that the money might easily be disbursed during the course of the present year, to which the payment properly belongs. This representation seems the more rea sonable because a long interval has now elapsed since the winding-up of the Ottoman Bauk, or rather its merging into the Imperial Ottoman Bank, was decided upon, and it has always been understood that the reserve fund seas chiefly in vested in Consols, than which no stock is more readily convertible. The Consolidated Discount Company (Limited) is announced, with a proposed capital of 1,000,0001., in 20,000 shares of 60/. each, of which 10,000 shares are to be issued at present. The board of direction comprises Mr. George W. Constable, of Messrs. Henderson and Oonstible ; Mr. George Denny, of Messrs. George Denuy and Co. ; Mr. William Little, late a director of the Bank of Eug land ; Mr. F. J. Sargood, of Messrs. Sargood, King, and Sargood ; Mr. Thomas S. Richardson ; Mr. James Thompson, of Messrs. Le Gras Thomp son and Co. ; and three members of the firm of Messrs. Sandeman and Co., of Abchurch-lane, viz., Mr. Hugh Fraser &Indocile°, Mr. Richard M. San derson, and Mr. Samuel Baker. It is upon the purchase of the business of this firm and upon the co-operatiou of its members that the project is based. It is stated that there is no promotion money, and that " The terms on which the busi ness of Messrs. Sandeman and Co. has been pur chased enable the directors to offer an immediate and secure dividend of at least 10 per cent." The company's business will commence on the lit of January. The West India and Pacific Steam-ship Company have purchased the fleet of steamers and interest of Mr. Alfred Holt, in the West India trade. Mr. Holt was the pioneer in this trade, and has been engaged in it—we are assured, successfully—for the last eight years. The directors have also retained Mr. Holt's co-operation in the management of the company. The first steamer under this new ar rangement will sail on the sth Jan. The receipts of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada for the week ending the 2:4th November were 22,1071. sterling, being 1,035/. less than in the corresponding week of last year. The receipts of the Great Western Railway of Canada for the week ending the 4th December were 12,0751., being 1011. more than in the corre sponding week of last year. The Groat Western Railway Company of Canada have intimated that " the loss on exchange by the conversion of American money received for the carriage of through traffic from the commencement of the current half-year to sth December, 1863, amounted to the sum of 22,239/. lls. &1., and at that date there was a further sum of Ameri can funds still remaining to be converted of 69,628.52 dole." The share certificates of the East London Bank are now ready for delivery, in exchange for the bankers' receipts, and on signature of the articles of association. A call of 3/. is to be paid on the shares in the British Indian Tea Company by the 12th January. MONDAY Emma. Consols, which closed on Saturday at 910 to div., for the 7th January, were first marked to-day 91i, and closed at 91i to 9.16. For money the last price was 911 to ex div. The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 911, 1, I ; ditto for account, 91i, + ; Three per Cents.

A general meeting of the Commercial Dock Com pany is convened for the Bth January, when a half yearly dividend is to be declared. A fair amount of business was done in bank shares.
