He then appoired i7 O in his usual health and spirits and made some remark, ap- g k parently in a very unconcerned manner, upon the weather at. and some other trivial topics. At 20 minutes past 8 another It soldier, James McDoughall, knocked at the deceased's 2 0 door, but obtaining no answer went in and found the un- et fortunate man with his throat cut in the frightful manner above described, and a razor covered with blood lying at his side.

The dealings in stocks and shares to-day are limited, and the general tendency of prices is dull, although the advices from Gerssiay are oonai dered rather more favourable. At the moment attention is more particularly directed to the tuna tisfactory character of the.mturus of the Banks of England and Prams, and to the fiatness of the foreign exchanges. Consols are dull at the reduction of yesterday, and several of the foreign bonds have further receded. English railways show steadiness and some of the financial shares are slightly firmer. United States 6-20 Bonds con tinue to improve. There is a fair demand for money to-day, and most of the transactions effected have been at the Bank minimum, viz., 6 per cent. In the Stock Exchange short loans on English government secu rities are obtains* at per cent. Gongola are now quoted 86 3-8 to f for money„ and 861 to 7-8 for the new account (May 9). Greek, Spanish Passive, Italian of 1861, and Mexican Bonds are heavy, and have declined to 1 per cent. The Committee's Certificates, Turkish of 1866, and Brazilian scrip are unchanged. The prices are as follows :--Greek, 131 to 14; Mexican ' 201 to ; Spanish Passive, 27 to ; ditto Certificates, 161 to ; Turkish, 1862, 671 to f ; ditto, 1865, 361 to 7-8 ; Brazilian scrip, 11 to 11 die., div. ; and Italian, 1861, 561 to f.

The alleged concession of a great Bank of Madrid to English capitalists meeta with little credit here, pending the publication of the names concerned in it. They ought certainly to be of a high class if, as the telegrams state, the capital proposed is upwards of 14,000,00 W. sterling. The statement in the Constantinople telwams, that "the Budget Commission have finnh their investigations, and have found that the deficit for the current year will be over four and a half mil lions," contributed to prejudice the prices of Turkish securities yesterday ; but the news is con- Adored to need confirmation. About 19,0001. in gold was taken to the Bank yesterday. The New York, from New York, has brought r 21,000/. in specie. The tendency of the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon was again unfavourable. The rates for bills on Amsterdam and Frankfort were rather lower. Subjoined is the usual list : Amsterdam, 3 months, 111 to 1 ; ditto, 3 days, ILI7 to 18 ; Botterdant, 3 mouths , 12.1 to 1 ; Antwerp, 3 13.91 months, suo to 55 ; Hamurg, ms. beam, 3 mon to 10 ; Peals 3 days, 95.17 b Ito 25 ; ditto, 3 montths,hs, 26.45 to 50 F ran kf or t o n-the-Maine, 3 months, 1291 to 1 ; Petersburg par rouble, 3 months, 281 to 9 ; Vienna, off. flo., 3 months, 10.85 to 96 ; Triode, ditto, 3 niontha, 10.85 to 95 ; Le Madrid, 3 months, 46a to I ; Cadiz, 3 months , 4711 to ; 3 months, 25.621 to 671 ; Genoa, 3 Mon th s , 2: ri l l ; 671 Milan, 3 months, 26.621 Naples, 3 months, 25.8111 to 671 ; Palermo, 3 months, 25.621 to 671 Messina, 3 'Deaths, 251% to 671; Lis boa. 90 days, lin to 1; Oporto, 511 to f. The weekly relent of the Bank of France shows the following changes : Coin and bullion Decrease 0140,000 Bile discounted Government deposits. Decrease 1,040,000 Notes in circulation Private deposits Advances These changes differ materially from those shown of late. The coin and bullion have declined, though not to any important extent, while the increase in the discounts and circulation indicates a decided revival in the demand for money. At Paris the rate of discount in the open market is 3 1 . per cent. • F'rankfort and Brussels, 34 ; Amsterdam and ierlin, fit ; Vienna and Turin, 5; Hamburg, 4 ; and St. Petersburg, 61. With one exception, the rates are all below ours. A small failure in the Greek trade was greatly magnified in the Stock Exchange yesterday, and the shares of one of the finance companies were in con sequence pressed for sale, although the individual in question is entirely unconnected with the un dertaking. At a meeting of sworn brokers of the city of London, held on Thursday, to consider a circular from the town clerk, it was unanimously resolved, " " That this meeting being advised that the coora tion have no right to call upon brokers to find - new sureties in the room of those deceased, recommend that brokers take no notice of the circular netted by the town clerk." Telegrams from Italy announce that King Victor Emmanuel visited the works of the City of Milan Improvements Company on Thursday, and that he expressed the highest satiefaction with their pro gress.
