The funds are now quoted i per cent. lower than they closed yesterday, but the market has exhibited considerable firmness throughout the morning. The other departments of the Stock Exchange are firm, with rather an improving tendency. Consols for the 4th of February, after standing for some time at 951 to 1 ex div., are now quoted 95e to 1. For money the present price is 941 to 96 ex div. The Three per Cents. Reduced have been dealt in at 95e to ; the New Three per Cents., at 9, to f ; Bank Stock, at 220 to 221 ; and Exchequer Bills, at 10s. to 14s. prem., being again higher . . _ - In foreign stocks the principal transactions have been in Turkish, Peruvian, and Sardinian. Prices in most cases are fairly supported, but Turkish Six per Cents. do not maintain the best quota tion of the morning. Sales are recorded u follow. : Brazilian Old Five per Cents., for account (13th January), at 100 j; Buenos Area Bonds, for ac count, at 97; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., at 641 (exch. 128.); Mexican Bonds, for account, at 201; Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., for aricount, at 804; Pertugnese Three per Caste., 1833, at 43, ex div. ; ditto, for account, at 441, ex div. ; Peruvian Four-and a-Half per Cent. Dollar Bonds, at 68 to 63; Sardinian Five per Cents. at 88; ditto for account at 881, 881, and 871; Spanish Old Three per Cents. at 411,ex div. ; Turkish Six per Cents., at 991; ditto for account, 16th January, at 99. At Paris to-day (Saturday), according to Mr, Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Bente. opened at 70fr. 90c. for the end of January. and at half-put one o'clock were quoted at the same price. Assuming that the telegram is accurate, a rise of 1 per cent. is shown. Credit Mobilier shares opened at 960 fr. to 966 tr. ; Orleans shares at 1,435 fr. ; and Southern at 580 fr. At Hamburg yesterday (Friday), the rate of dis count fell to 21 per cent. Its estimated by well-informed persons that the amount of stock withdrawn from the market at the present settlement by bankers is not far short of two millions sterling, of which a mil lion and a quarter or a million and a half is taken by the Bank of England alone. Bankers are of course extremely anxious to replace the stock which they were forced temporarily to part with (in most cases by raising loans upon it) during the late crisis. The important event above referred to justi fies the observations which we have repeatedly made upon this subject. Owing to the abundant supply of money thus poured into the Stock Exchange, loans on govern ment securities are obtainable in that establish ment at the low rate of s per cent. per annum. Owing to the more reasonable rate at which the Bank of England are now ready to grant ancommo- dation, the applications there were yesterday upon a more liberal scale. Probably a number of persons held back until the rats wrs lowered to six per cent. The payments to the Bank will continue large all through the present month, as the large mass of bills discounted in November arrive at maturity. In the discount market, also, the demand for money was more active, but in Lombard•street and other quarters good bills are freely discounted at 5 per cent., or one per cent. below the Bank minimum rate. The amount of gold purchased by the Bank yes terday was about 75,0001.. making a total of about 165,0001. since Wedueeday evening—the date to which the Bank return is made up. Two failures have been announced in the Stock Exchange, in connexion with the pending settlement in Consols, but neither is of importance. Both parties are "jobbers " in the Consol market The monthly return of the Hank of France will be published next Friday morning. We are requested to state upon authority that , there never has been any foundation whatever for the rumour of the proposed purchase of the business of the Globe Insurance-office by another eminent assurance corporation (the London Assurance). The amount of specie shipped up to yesterday afternoon on board the steamer Tyne, for the Brazils, is 31,3001., all gold, with the exception of 4001. A further sum is likely to be despatched by this vessel. The steamer Tagus has taken out 11,4671. in specie to the Peninsula. The Oliver Cromwell sailed from Sydney for London on the 28th of October, with 18 ounces of gold and 5,500 sovereigns on freight, and the Speedy on the 31st of October, with 142 ounces and 500 sovereigns. The two remittances amount to only 13,64 W. According to the advice' received from Melbourne the following ships were advertised to sail for Eng land, viz. :—The Blackwell, Nov. 21; the Donald McKay. Nov. 25 ; Guy Mannering, in November ; Kent, Dec. 8 ; Shaftesbury, Dec. 10 ; Copenhagen, Dee. 15 ; and the Sea Breeze at an early date. The shipments of gold by the two first-mentioned vessels will probably - be large. The exchange between this country and the Con tinent continue to droop, but are still too high to allow of remittances of gold from this side. The de cline yesterday was principally observable in bills on Hamburg, but paper on nearly all the leading continental cities was quoted rather lower than on Tuesday. It is still my difficult to find buyers for any but fire-class bill'. The current quota tions are shown below, viz. : Amiderdera.

The first of the foreign railway projects of the prommt year hue made its ap in the market, Subscriptions are again invited for Six per Cent. Bonds of the Victor Emanuel Railway Company tothe amount of 800,0001., at 05 per cent. The bonds are repayable at par in five years, and the instalments are as fol lows, vie., 10 per cent. on application ; 15 per Gent. OD the 25th Jan.; 2.5 per cent. on the 27th Irek ; 25 per cent. on the 30th April, and 20 per cent. on the 30th June. It is stated that the interest will be paranteed by the Sardinian government. The loan r to form a first mortgage on the railway, upon which four millions sterling have already been expended. It is believed that Sardinia is upon the point of raising a state loan of 80,000,000 E, or say 2,400,0001. sterling ; but the private advice' state that the native bankers are already making proposals for the operation, and the anticipation is expressed that it will not be necessary to have recourse to foreign markets. The Stock Exchange Committee hare appointed Monday, the 18th inst., a special settling day in the shares of the Indus Steam Flotilla (Scinde Railway). with hare for them to be marked in the official lists. The amount of bills drawn by the East India Com pany on t►eir respective presidencies, from the 4th to the Bth inst. (last day), la as follows: . • Eats of Exchange. £1,908 6 6 i Sat 2a. u. per Co. • . b Me& r= ay nio Per aft°. Bom Total .. t 1,006 6 Letters dated Rotterdam, Jan. 6, state that, owing to the severe weather, the river and canal had become frown over, and, in consequence, the navi gation was almost stopped, steamers only being able to force their way through. The subjoined Neekl y summary of the produce markets is from Nissan. W. J. and H. Thompson : - - - - - - - • The ookelal market opened with an improved tone, and essay wear of produce have been sold at advanced rates. Sugar, which attracted much attention dnring the holidays, exhibited at the commencement of the week a ties of 24. to 3e. upon good to ens sorts; this enhancement, however, has not been fully maintained, while low qualities have lest the improvement previously established. The supplies have been exceedingly large, and the trade have bought fredy. Coffee has also been in good request, and shows a rise of la. to 2a. per cwt. upon the plantation aorta of Ceylon. There is not ranch activity in the demand for rice, but rates are about ed. per cwt. above the lowest point. Saltpetre Inquiry for spice, black pepper end pimento selling at a recovery of ith to ad. per lb. Tea has been in rather better demand. The return of the Bank of England for the week ending Wednesday, January 6, compared with the previous weekly return, shows the following results : Circulation fame Chantlation active - 006 Ineramee 183,435 19,4990-__ Pabbodsposit• 7,190,661, Decre es 252962 Other deposits Govors.ust imearlaks banking department ..

Including the sums bought since Wednesday, the Bank now hold fully twelve millions and three quarters of bullion ; but some quantity of coin will be temporarily withdrawn, through the pay ment of the dividends, which commenced this day. The increase in the reserve is also more than a million, the great decrease in the "other securities " having far more than counterbalanced the decrease in the deposits. The decline in the Treasury deposits is caused by the quarterly pay ment of official salaries, &c. The increase of 223,8181. in the government securities must be at tributed to purchases in the market. BANK OT INOLAND.—Aa accrete brad 70 sad L. Via, a. Dr. for the wmt maw W • Jas. 0.

The market opened without change, but soon sus tained a fall of I per cent. It then transpired that enormous withdrawals of stock were being effected by the banking interest, and a rebound at once took place. The closing quotations were I per cent. above those of yesterday, and the highest yet touched. The other departments of the Stock Exchange were weaker in the morning, but subsequently im proved, and closed with firmness.

Mercantile affairs at Bradford are atilt in a state of disorder , and several additional stoppages of firms in the wonted trade have been mentioned en - what appears to be reliable authority, u having occurred within the last few days. Messrs. William Yewdall and SOIL, woolataplers, of Ap perky Bridge, it is slated, and pretty generally believed, are about to call their creditors together. This firm, It will be ~membered, were largely involved in transactions with the insolvent houses of Wens. W. Cheesebrough and Son, of Bradford, and Mr. Edward Smith, of London. The liabilities of Messrs. Wrn. lestedall and Sons are reported to be upwards of 200,0001., and the sleets under 40,0001. Nothing definite, however, is yet known. The other individuals and firms who are reported to have stopped payment for the purpose of communicating with their creditors ate the following —Mr. William Walker, woolatapler, Bermondsey, Bradford, whose liabilities are understood to be not very heavy ; Messrs. Robinson and Booth, worsted spinners, Thornton-road, Bradford ; Mr. Cockshott, worsted spinner and manufacturer, Shipley ; and Mr. Foster, a top maker, at Bradford. Mr. Foster is said to have bees engaged in bill tranuotions In connexion with Mr. W. C. Heigh, woolstapter, whose creditors met last week. The liabilities of Mr. Cockshott are believed to be small. Inomseq uence of the disclosures made at the meeting of Mr. W. C. thighs creditors, a dm carrying on an extensive business as merchants and manufacturers at Bradford, bare Ibis week bed their elixirs investigated for the satisf;Clioe, is said, of the Branch Bank of England, at Leeds, and the Bradford Banking Company. A statement of the lia bilities and assets of the firm having been prepared by a public accountant, and checked by H. W. Ripley, Esq., showed a surplus of 40,0001. The house in question has had accommodation bill transactions with one of the firma iu the wool trade which recently failed. At the late meeting of the creditors of Messrs. William Cheesebrough and Bon, woolstaplers, it was determined, by &majority of one vote, not to divulge the names of the creditors of the firm. Much dissatisfaction has been expressed la commercial circles here with regard to the peMag of this resolution, on the ground that parties who have bad traMckitige fa accommodation paper ought to be made known to the trading community generally, so that any futur r i4i t x with such houses may take place with and be by a full knowledge of the liabilities they have erred by reason of their reckless practices. This feeling of dissatisfaction has been more strongly developed today, as it is understood that further revels dome bays been made, showing the disgraceful extent to which accommodation paper has been resorted to in connex ion with houses that have lately Mopped payment. Many commercial men have also expressed themselves greatly dis satisfied with the balanoa-shmts pat forward at the meetings of creditors of some of those houses, such balanos-sheets being, as alleged, altogether inconsistent with statement* made as to the meets of the firms referred to sometime pre vious to their failure. THE NEW SOMAS OP PARLIAMENT. Of late but little progress has been made in works at the above large structure, as respecte the exterior; but considerable activity has be manifested in the interior anti the private residences in the north and south wings of the river front are now nearly finished, more especially the man sion (for so we must call It), intended for the official residence of the Speakm of the House of Commons. This residence occupies the whole of the north end of the river front of the and extends to what Is termed the Speaker's Court, the whole forming in plan a parallelogram, which measures 100 feet by IS feet. The entrance is in the Speaker's Court. through =appropriate stone porch. A wide stone Adresse leads to the principal floor, where the great reception rooms are arranged, all of which are entered by a corridor, the mil d which is greined in stone, and the Boor paved with Min ton's monastic files.
