Two o'OLooz. The stock markets to-day have been unusually quiet. Some hesitation has prevailed amongst the speculators in consequence of uncertaioty sst to whether the Bank of England rate of discount would be raised to-day, but, the weekly court having broken up without announcing any change, the markets are now steady. The funds remain at yesterday's prices. Foreign bonds are dull, while home railway stocks are rather better. The dealers are chiefly occupied with the fort nightly settlement. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Renter were quoted 66fr. 76c., being sc. better than yesterday. Consols are now quoted 901 to 1 for money, and 91 to 1 for the account (Feb. 4). The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent.

Foreign stocks are generally quoted the same as yesterday, and, apart from the settlement, very little business has been done. Some of the present prices are annexed :—Turkish 1854 Loan, 89} to 90 ; ditto, 1862, 67 to 4, ex div ; the Con solider, 464 to 1 ; Greek, 24 to 1 ; Mexican, 351 to 1 ; and Spanish Passive, 331 to 1 ; Transactions are recorded as follows:—Egyp tan,' 104, 101 ; ditto Second Issue, 1001 ; Greek, 24 ; ditto for account, 234 ; ditto Coupons, for account, 114 ; Mexican, 354, 1,1; Portuguese, 1856, &c., 474 ; Turkish, 1858, 70 ; 1 1 ditto 1001.

The steamer La Plata, from the West Indies, has brought 353,000/. in gold and silver. The amount of specie by the African mail steamer Armenian is 7,0001. The demand yesterday for oar silver for the East was again extremely strong, and an important ad vance (about id. per ounce) took place, the last price being ss. 2411. to se. 24d. A heavy amount has been bought for transmission by the Bombay and Cal cutta steamers from Marseilles on the 18th and 19th inst. respectively, as well as by the Calcutta packet from Southampton on the 20th. As the supply here is very inadequate, a large sum will have to be imported from the Continent, and gold will probably be sent from this side to pay for it. The amount of government bills on India, for which tenders will be received at the Bank of England on the 20th inst., is 40,00,000 rupees (400,0001.) The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 7,180/. over last year ; the London and South Western au in crease of 9011. ; the Great Eastern an increase of 9461. ; the Great Northern an increase of 4,0491. ; and the Great Western an increase of 3,626/.

GUILDHALL AITZEPTZD CAZT ROGUERY. Th , mas Jones, Jots Derenish, Williams Barren, and John Mo chew were charged, before Mr. Alderman Gabriel, with attempting to steal • cheat of tea from a carrier's east while in transit through the City. Mr. Lewis appeared for Deveniob, but the other pri soners were undefended. It appeared from the evidence of three constables in the employ of the Great Northern Railway C,ompany,whnee duty it was to watch the company's goods traffic in the City. that they maw the prisoners following a carrier's cart in Cheap side, and, as their movements were very suspicious, they watched them into the immediate neighbourhood of this court, when they saw Barrett and Jones go to the tail of the cart and nolaaten a chain which mowed a chest of tea. They were disturbed. and left the cart, but followed it to the Bank, where they attempted to lift the cheat of tee from the cart, and being again disturbed they went • little dis tance, but on seeing the carrier re-fasten the chain, they went to Ball and Month-street, and after looking in at the booking-olßoe, they were returning towards Cheasside, where they were all apprehended. It we/ shown that they were all asenciates, and that Barrett sad Mayhew had been in custody before, the latter having several convictions against him. The prisoners were committed to prison for three months with hard labour. MARLBOROUGH-STREST.

Swan and Edgar's, Regeot-street, of carrying about placards, causing thereby an obstruction of the thoroughfare and great annoyance to the inhabitants. It appears that for some time p. t the defendants have been in the practice of parading in front of Beams. Swan and Edgar's, Regent-street, not more than seven yards frees the house, nearly the whole of the day, with large placards, one of them respecting the Florentine Venus. Bend's the annoyance ceased by the defendants onefining themselves to the front of Mears. Swan and Edgar's house, more espe cially by the defendant with the offensive placard alluded to, great obstruction was caused by the defendants, and carriages were prevented from drawing up. The defendants were spoken to sad cautioned by the police; but, as they refused to go away, the present proceedings were takes against them. The magistrate said that the defendants walking at cosh& short distance as seven yards from the house must be a great annoyance and obstroctioo.
