MONEY MARKET.-(TliTh DAY•) ONS Business in the Stock Exchange continues very limited, and owing to this circumstance, combined with the absence of the public as investors, together with the high value of money, the prices of public securities in some cases present a further slight reduction. Consols have declined per cent., and two or three of the chief specula tive foreign stocks and home railways about I. It will be seen, however, that the decline is far from general There is not much business in the discount market to-day, while the supply of money seeking employment is large. The general rate for for choice three months' paper is 71 to 71 per cent. ; but occasional transactions are reported at a fraction less. The charge for short loans in the Stock Exchange, on English government securities, is 3 to 4 per cent. Console are now quoted 861 to 87 for money, and 871 to f for the account (February 8). The dealings in foreign stocks have been mode rate, and the tendency of prices is rather unfavour able. Mexican bonds exhibit chief flatness, and have declined g per cent. Greek bonds are per cent. lower, and Brazilian scrip is dull. Some of the present quotations are subjoined, viz. : Greek, in to 141 ; Turkish Five per Cents. of 1865, 39/ to /, ex div. ; Spanish Passive, 25/ to / ; ditto Certificates, in to 14 ; Confederate, 6 to 7 ; Brazilian scrip, ato prem. ; and Mexican, 211 to 1, ex div. The scrip of the new Egyptian Railway Deben ture Loan is lower, at I to 1 prem. United States 5.20 bonds are in demand, and have improved to cot to being / per cent. better than on Saturday. International Financial shares are now quoted / to / prem. ; General Credit, 1/ to 2 prem. ; London Financial, 3/ to / prem. ; Imperial Mer cantile, 21 to if prem. ; Credit Fourier and Mobilier of England, 31 to a prem., ex all, being lower ; Overend, Gutaey, and Company, 51 to 1 prem.

The Messageries Impi:riales steamer Said left Marseilles on Friday with 40,0001. in specie for Alexandria, and 100,0001. for India. Private advices from an excellent source, dated Paris, Thursday evening, state as follows : " Nearly all kinds of stocks have experienced to day an unexpected rise. It was generally suppo-eil the Bank rate of discount would have been raised at the weekly board. This apprehension, which the situation published did not at all warrant, hav ing proved groundless, a better tone was imparted to all transactions. As to the Credit Mobilier shares, the;^ rise is to be ascribed to a particular cause ; it is rumoured that the company are going to increase their capital by the issue at par of the same number of new shares as the present, and, if our information is correct, the preliminary steps required for preparing the proposed measure have been submitted to the competent authorities, and have met with their approval. That the public at large participate in the same view is evidenced by the quotations of our Bourse. It is supposed the Credit Mobilier Company will be thereby enabled to enter upon a new geld of action, and to under take shortly some important operation, such as the opening of the Rue de l'lmperatrice, of which so much has been said of late. Moreover, on general grounds, it is assumed that the supply of fresh capital will have a beneficial effect upon our stock and share market, and ease the settlement of cur rent operations." Messrs. Stevenson, Salt, and Co., the private bankers, announce in a circular that they have amal gamated their country business, conducted at Staf ford, Lichfield, Rugely, and Eccleshall, with Lloyd's Banking Company (Limited). Messrs. T. and T. Salt will be large shareholders in the amalgamated bank, and Mr. Thomas Salt, jun., will continue the active superintendence of the business at the above-named places ; and it is also agreed that he shall take a seat at the board of direction of Lloyd's Banking Company. The business of Meisrs. Stevenson, Salt, and Co. bas been conducted in Staffordshire for more than a century and a quarter, and during that time the partners state that they have met with unvarying kindness and liberal support from their clients of all classes, but thediminution in the members of the family by deaths, and the changes which have taken place in the system of banking during the last few years, have induced the present step. This arrangement, however, in no way affects the position of the banking firm of Messrs. Steven son, Salt, and Sons, in Lombard-street, London, who will conduct their business as private bankers as hitherto. The partners in the London house are Mr. Thomas Salt, Mr. Thomas Salt, jun., Mr. John Charles Salt, and Mr. William Winter Scott. It is presumed that in consequence of this amalgama tion the country note issue of Messrs. Stevenson, Salt, and Co., the amount of which is fixed by law at 14,166 k, will lapse.

THE FLOoDs. —During Saturday night and yes terday morning the waters on the inundated land around Windsor, Eton, Eton College, and Shaine' bad subsided considerably, and a few days of dry weather will, no doubt, clear the flooded country to a great extent. There is yet, however, much water upon the Home-park and on the meadows and arable land near Detchet, Wrayebury, and Old Windsor. The latest accounts from the surrounding districts all speak of the floods as haviog been tie highest known niece 1852. At Maidenhead during the inundation the water rose very high and inundated the main street, bat did not stop the traffic. The lower roads to I:ty. Bray, and Cookham were, however, impassable. At Colebrook in the early part of the week all foot passengers bad to be mo seyed io carts through the water to Foyle, at so much per head, • good business being carried on, while it was with great dif fi culty that some of the stock could be removed to places of safety. The roadway between Sunbury and Hampton had at one time from two to three feet of water over it, while from Sunbury to Manifold the road was quite impassable. The vicinity of Chertsey was extremely flooded, the Abbey-mead and low-lying lands above the bridge being covered, and some of there rendered im passable. The water is now decreasing along the flooded land on the banks of the Thames. Ma. TENNYSON'S POETRY.—Mr. Ten nyson's poetry is then the work of a highly seasitive and fastidious artist, keenly alive t., the criticism of his own cultivated mind, and choosing rather to limit the range of his imagine tion than to run any risk of its breakieg a wing ; but we are obliged, at the same time, to admit that a want of this freedom of inspirstion is, even within these limits, some drawback upon its charm. With the power of presenting ideas, before unknown to men, comes also a magic skill of weaving in the unseen with the seen, even in the most familiar things ; and a strange lustre is thereby given to the work, •Instre often overlooked. but precious as the fru graoce of the choicest wines to those who know how to price it, In many ways the Laureate's work reminds us of that of our very best modern Gothic architects. The edifice is faultless, every detail shows a delicate taste, and a love and understanding of the best works of the past, while the structure as a whole shown, if not grandeur, at least beauty in its proportions, sad simplicity in its effects ; yet there lacks after all the indescribable freshness and vigour which are more often indeed attributes of times and peoples then of individuals. In one particular, however, Mr. Tennyson may claim an equality with any other poet, namely, in the singular charm and propriety of his similes ; and this merit is one of a very high order. It is not right to look upon these as mere embellishments set upon the text as gems upon a chalice. Even a single word dropped into an atten tive mind, like a stone into still water, propagates an im pulse in all direction., causing infinite radiations of thought, and stirring up diverse ideas along the many ways of asso ciation. Hence the more sensitive the mind, the more complete will be the resulting circles of thought, and re sponsive chords will be awakened in them by delicate vibrs tioes which in coarser minds are lost. Thus it is with Mr. Tennyson : impressions upon his mind and senses call up amended ideas and memories in an infinite number of di rections, and those are chosen which, by fitness or contrast, may arouse in the reader the required combinations of thought, and assimilate his state of [oohs( to that of the poet. Similes of the best kind then are net mere illustration& but are, as it were, beentifel views oriened up in the paths of our thought, intensifying oar moods by oontrast, or enlarging them by spopetby.—Quorterly Revine, sew number.
