EXPRESS FROM PAititi. (710 X 07/ OWN CO/U/UPONDV77) PARIS, TLL-Da.T E71.11(!70. I am enabled to state with confidence that most extraordinary efforts have been made at the Tuileries both yesterday and to-day to turn the Emperor from his purpose, and to induce him to take advan tage of Austria having yielded on the theoretical question of sending troops to Belgrade to announce to the world in a manner not to be misunderstood that a casus /•ell i is no longer upon the cords. All the indications of the day (the article in the Con stieutionnel and the rise at the Bourse only excepted) tend to show that the efforts of the peace party in the cabinet have not been succeatfal. On the contrary, the care and haste with which the public is informed through various indirect channels that the question now settled with Austria leaves others of more importance still unsolved, is a very remarkable symptom of a determination to keep a sore open. The true question to every re fleeting mind is not whether Austria may avoid, with more or less adroitness, affording any pretext for the commencement of hostilities, but whether the French Emperor will ultimately judge it for his own interest to give employment to his vast army on the plains of Lombardy. The 'Mats remarks saga ciously, and with as much point as is prudent, that the settlement of the Servian question leaves to the French journals which openly advocate war " the task of finding some other diplomatic difference sufficiently serious and sufficiently ripe to lead to the hope of a speedy rupture." There is every likeli hood that the ingenuity of the jaunt!, in question will be equal to the occasion. The Sleds this morn ing tells the Pays roundly that it will "find oat more and more every day; that it, the Pays, has not the power to stifle the voice of the Siiele—maan ing the voice that calls for war. The Patti*, which till lately has taken rank as a peace journal, is this evening singularly careful to show that the latest news from Vienna leaves a variety of other diffical tias open. It ways openly that the serious difficultie s relate to Italy, which, be it remembered, we were told semi-officially some days ago was not in the Emperor's mind when be spoke to M. Hubner on New Year's-day. The Pattie now says that there is no wisdom in denying the existence of complica. tieing which exist ; " on the contrary, let us accustom ourselves to look them in the face, so as to appre ciate them calmly and dominate them authori tatively. In a word, let us be calm, but without going to sleep." The Boar, was favourably affected by M. RID hell article, and was, from first to last, almost brilliant.

The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the repor t sad accounts, remarking upon the prosperous condi of the bank. The deposits had now 11'i:red at what he might all low-watermark. Nearly 2,000.0001. of deposits had kw withdrawn during the last two years owing to the redaction in the rate of interest. At the same time the general and regular business of the bank bed greatly inores.ed, and the directors were now enabled to divide nine per cent. The bushesss of the bank was spread over a wide area, end there could be little prospect of any serious casualty hap pening to any of the branches. Added to the eight per cent. netted the last half-year, the present division made the dividend for the year equal to seventeen par cent. (Cheers.) At the same the. • considerable addition had been made to the menu teed, while there wee now no necessity to ad spirt say reserve to meet the anticipatcd losses arising out of the alio 0t.1867, se the deficiencies which existed in the autumn et that year now only amounted to 2,5001.

MONEY MARKEZ—ZIibY LAY. Two o'CLoon. The funds showed a favourable tendency at the commencement of business this morning, and a rise of to 3-16 per cent. was soon ob. twined. A reaction has since taken place, however, in consequence of the receipt of lower prices front Paris. Console are now quoted about k per cent. lower than they closed yesterday. At Paris to-day (Wednesday) according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rents were quoted at a quarter past 12 o'clock (i.e. three quarters of an hour before the opening of the regular Bourse), at 69.16. A decline to 68,90 ensued, and the last price reported is 69.6, which shows a fall of nearly I per cent., compared with the closing price of yesterday. The decline is attributed to the articles published by the Prase and Pattie. The official opening prices have not yet come to hand. Consols have touched 96 3-16 to but are now 2:quoted 96, "sellers," both for money and the Bth of February. Th e Th re e per Cents.

The steamer Magdalena, from the West Indies, has brought 133,8001. in gold and silver. The mail from Bombay will be delivered on Friday morning. The discount market yesterday was rather quiet, but in few instances do transactions take place below the Bank minimum. At the Bank the applications were only moderate. In the Stock Exchange money continues extraordinarily abundant. There are still no operations in gold at the Bank The accounts from most of the other continental stock markets announce a fresh rise. About 80,0001. of the gold by the Asia reached London yesterday, and was purchased for the Con tinent, besides 8,0001. in Turkish gold coin. About 80,0001. in silver, destined for the East, has reached the Thames during the last day or two from Antwerp and Rotterdam.

Adrian from Paris reiterate a belief that the scrip for the new shares of the Lombordo-Venetian Rail way Company . will be in course of issue about the 26th inst. It is thought that the Stock Exchange settlement here will take place at the end of the present month, or at latest, in the first week in February. The letters and telegrams from Constantinople throw no light upon the alleged protest of the re rnentatives of the bondholders against the local loan which is said to have been just contracted b, the Sultan. The statement respecting the protest is believed to be founded upon a misapprehension. Meanwhile it is certain that, up to the latest date, the Sultan had not evinced the slightest disposition to relieve his embarrassments by diverting from their legitimate purpose the proceeds of the English loan. In the Bankruptcy Court yesterday, Mr. Blunt, formerly a member of en old and influential legal firm in the City, obtained a second-clue certificate. His failure was partly ascribed to the embarrass ments of the old firm, who had embarked in huge building . speculations.
