Iniked. he nearly fainted in the pulpit three Sendays ago. The obvious necessity of total relief from all ministerial anxiety, as well as labour, for a protracted Period, and an earnest solicitude for the welfare of the c ongregation iu the meantime, led him to send in a nag nation, which, he s t a t e d, was a b so l u t e an d fi na l. It was therefore accepted, though with great regret, by a very 'lemmas and intelli gen t congregation, gathered together rather by the attraction of his preaching than by denomi satioaal preferences. At a meeting convened for the pur pose, resolutions expressive of gratitude, sympathy, and lamest desires for Mr. Christopherson's speedy restoration to health and active service wore unanimously passed, and kegs were at once taken to present him with a substantial %ten of respect and aireztion.—Patriot. rt t bs ac ed in Rapp adjourned. 01 . w days ago , as si ya eautiful lag e I RA •ng after • .;,; ( 1 b l fas ham was tur Ile field, and • 1•7 1.3 - s un til the pair ' the railway.

Ups o'Cwci. The funds opened firmly this morning, at an advance of * per cent., owing to the very favourable character of the returns of the Banks of England and France, but have since relapsed to the last prices of yesterday, with a preponderance of sales. Nearly all the British railway stocks are un changed, while some of the foreign securities are inquired for, especially Italian of 1861 and Mexican. United States 5-20 Bonds have improved. Banking and financial shares show no variation of importance. There is less demand for colonial government debentures, and the tendency of prices in some cues is downwards. The demand for money to-day is not active, but the charge for the best paper is maintained at 31 to per cent. The remarkable improvement in the accounts of the Bank of England has strengthened the impression that the rate of dis count will shortly be reduced. The quotation for short advances on English government securities is 3 to 24 per cent. The scrip of the new Russian Loan was quoted this nimaing 11 to 2 prem. Although a slight rise has since taken place, the present price-14 to 2i prem.—is per cent. lower than yesterday. Consols are now quoted 894 to 90, cum div., for money, and 884 to , ex div., for the account (Gth December). The transactions in foreign stocks are not nume ions ; but Italian of 1861 and Mexican are in request, and have improved 1 per cent. Turkish of 1865, however, have declined 1. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 60 to 61; ditto, 1865, 33g to 1; Greek, 131 to 141; Spanish Passive, 214 to 1; ditto Certificates, 131 to ; Italian of 1861, 55; to ; Mexican, 181 to 1. United States 5-20 Bonds have advanced I per cent., viz., to 701 to 1, but Erie and Illinois Cen tral ralway shares have declined 1 to 1, being quoted 451 to 50 and 771 to 784 respectively. Anglo-American Telegraph shares are called 15 to 151, being ss. better, and Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent. Preference 31 to 41, showing no change. International Financial shares are quoted 2 to 11 dis. ; London Financial, 16i to 15i dis. ; General Credit, 11 to 11 dia. ; Credit Fonder, isi t to 5 dis. ; National Discount, 91 to 10 prem. ; and Hudson's Bay, 162 to 17. Both the Bank of England and the Bank of Franco have issued returns of au extraordinarily favourable character, and the "reserve" and stock of bullion here, in particular, have now reached a point from which, in past experience, they have rarely been drawn down without an outburst of speculation in some quarter ; yet, so complete and unreasoning is the distrust of the public, that a multitude of sound investments are left in utter neglect, though at greatly depressed prices. It would seem that investors, as a class, will loot move at all unless they move in a body, and that they will prefer to give much higher prices in the coming year, when more general symptoms of animation maybe looked for. About 86,0001. in gold was sent into the Bank yesterday. The Mexican dollars by the French steamer have not yet reached London, but they were sold yester day at 4s. per ounce, showing no change. Bar silver is still quoted ss. o,id. The West India steamer, which is expected at Southampton on the 27th will, it is believed, bring a total of no less than ;300,0001., chiefly in Mexican dollars. Mr. William Dargau, tho eminent Irish con tractor, has executed an assignment of his estate in favour of his creditors. No precise information has transpired with regard to the amount of his liabilities, but in some quarters they are estimated at a million sterling. The assets consist chiefly of land and railway shares, and the liquidation, it is thought, will prove favourable, and perhaps result in the eventual payment to the creditors of 20s. in the pound. Mr. Dargan has always been much respected, but his credit for years past has not stood high, and the rates for discount of his bills have been very onerous. In 1845 he was com puted to be worth 800,0001., and ten years ago 300,0001. Mr. Dargan is chairman of the Dublin, Wicklow, and Wexford Railway, in which he is largely interested, and is also a director of the Royal Marine Hotel Company of Kingstown, the Belfast and Northern Counties Railway, the Bel fast and Bang or Railway and Land Company, and the Railway Credit Company, as well as trustee and chairman of the Wexford Harbour Embank ment Company. The proceedings in Vice-Chancellor Kindersley's court yesterday, in the matter of Overend, Gurney, and Co. (Limited), attracted great attention. The Attorney-General, on behalf of certain share holders, having alluded at great length to the charges of fraud and misrepresentation in the prospectus, asked that the motions might stand over until after further evidence had been procured through the cross-examination of the directors. The learned counsel dwelt in strong terms upon the deficiency of over 3,000,000/. alleged to have existed at the time of the transfer of the business. It further appeared from the evidence produced that the statements made by Mr. Howell as to the hopeless insolvency of the business at the time of the formation of the limited company was confirmed by Mr. John Henry Gurney, who, however, explained that at that time they believed that the 500,0001. to be received for the goodwill, together with the value of the promises and the private estates of the partners of the firm, would be sufficient to meet the enormous deficiency ex iating. It was finally ruled by Vice-Chancellor Kindersley that the motions shall stand over until after the evidence to be taken before the special examiner in his cross-examination of the directors shall have been completed. The Great Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 2,7681. over the corre sponding period of last year ; the Great Northern, a decrease of 2811; the North Eastern, an increase of 2,694/. • the Great Eastern, an in crease of 7051 the Lancashire and Yorkshire, an increase of 3,4d01.; the London and South Western, an increase of 1,4491. ; the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, an increase of 1,166/. • the North British, an increase of 1,4681. ; the London, Chatham, and Dover, including the Metropolitan Extension and branches, an increase of 9071. ; the Metropolitan Extension, an increase of 351. ; and the Kent Coast, an increase of 1101. The report of the directors of the Anglo-Egyptian Bank (Limited) is to be presented at the general meeting on the 30th inst. It is satisfactory to tate that steps are to be taken to reduce the liability of the shareholders. The shares are at present of 501. each, with 20/. paid, and are quoted 9 to 8 dia. A dividend is to be payable on Anglo-Mexican Mint shares on the 3rd of December. Creditors of the Strand Hotel Company (Limited) are required to send the particulars of their claims to Mr. George Scott, the official liquidator, by the 15th of December, the 21st of December having been appointed by the Master of the Rolls for adju dicating upon them. Creditors of the Slate Mountain Company (Limited) are required to send the particulars of their claims to the official liquidator by the 17th December, the 11th January, having been appointed by the Court of Chancery for adjudicating upon them. Subjoined is Messrs. Culverwell, Brooks, and Co.'s report of yesterday's hide sales : At the twenty-second aeries of hide sales for the year a fair demand was generally experienced, at about late priors. East India: Ox and Cow—Calcutta were in steady demand, a fair proportion of the quantity offered being sold ; exporters bought more freely than for some • time past, while the borne trade also operated to a fair extent, and fully last sale's prices to an occasional advance of W. per lb. were realised. Bombay, 7.:anipon, sad well. The analysis of the calm is Lhi,:z/7 Calcutta new parcels, 27,473 brought forward from f ormer sales, and Bombay. &c., in all 160,036 hides, of which 129,100 were sold. Emit India : Buffalo barely realised late rates.' Leather: East Indian sold well. Australian brought about former prices for the small portion sold. Salted Hides : Australian were in fair request, particularly for light, at about late rates. Cape sold fairly. Gibraltar only part sold. Dry and Dryualted Hides : Zanzibar brought fair prices. Horse Hides : South American sold at rather easier rates. Bark: Mimosa, was nearly alt bought in. The weekly return of the Bank of France shows the following changes : Coin and bullioti Bills discounted berms 2364,000 peareale 1,380,000 ___ Government deposits lncrease 20,000 Notes in circulation Private deposits Advances For some time past, while the bullion iu the Bank of France has been declining, and the discounts in creasing, the expectation has been freely expressed in this country that a rise in its rate of discount, which is now only 3 per cent., must be decided upon, the advocates of our Bank Act naturally imagining that affairs must take the same course in France as they would do here. But the above return shows that the Council of the Bank of France had a juster appreciation of the causes and extent of the movement, and the increase of 564,0001. in the bullion, and decrease of 1,380,0001 in the bills discounted, are sufficient to remove altogether the idea of a rise in the rate. The return of the Bank of England for the week ending Wednesday, Nov. 21, compared with that for the previous week, shows the following changes: Circulation issue £31,744,190 Increase 209,470 Circulation active 22,914,315 Decrease 332,530 Pulilio deposits 5,830,843 Increase 683,071 Other deposits Government securities in banking department 12,670,738 Increase 368,347 Other securities in banking department 19,184,781 Increase 123,348 Coin and bullion in both departments Seven day and other bile 17,752,914 Increase 509,307 582,110 Decrease 10,529 .. 3,202,816 Increase 8,(6' 8,799,875 Increase 992,000 The Reel Notes in reserve Total reserve (notes & coin) in banking department... 9,808,599 Increase 940,537 Although there has been some slight increase in the demand for loans and discounts, the intlux of deposits, both government and private, has been so heavy that the reserve has been added to by the important sum of 940,8371., by which the total is now raised to close upon ten minions. As money accumulates in the Bank, the excess of notes in circulation is of course gradually reduced. The in crease in the coin and bullion is likewise important, being 608,3071., more than 200,0001. of which is apparently due to the reflux of coin from the pro vinces. The increase in the private deposits has doubtless been promoted by payments into the Bank by the liquidators of failed companies. ENGLAND. 7th and eth Vle., e.

THE PUBLIC BCSIXML—Without pretending to any peculiar knowledge of the secrets of the Cabinet, we believe we may state with confidence that there is no foundation whatsoever for statements made by some of our contemporaries, to the effect that a reform bill has been under the consideration of the ministers ; that its details have been agreed upon ; that it has given rise to divisions, and such like. The public may rest as sured that no division has occurred ; no determination has yet been arrived at in connection with this important subject ; perhaps we may say its consideration has scarcely even been approached.—Dubrin Ereninp Mail.

THE Oi'ENING or THE DUTCH CHAMEEKS. — Tmg Mere, Nov. 19.—The opening of the legislative session after the dissolution of the Second Chamber tool: place this morning by commission. The speech read upon this occasion by the Preehlext was as follows :—" Gentlemen, — The King has charged us to open this session of the States General in his name. The labours of the last section, when her ry tegen, were unexpectedly irrerrepte , l by the important n.eastire which, mindful of tint high mission which raises him eleove parties, his Majesty as chief of the state thought necessary in order to secure the regular working of constitutional institutions, with which both the love of the nation for the dynasty of Orange and. the safety of the country are so intinrately boand up. Making use of the right conferred upon hint by the con stitution, and in perfect accord with his responsible ad visers, the Kin; diesolved the Second Chamber of the States Geueral, 'ming more and more convinced that the composition of that portion of the national representation could no longer be considered as answering to its mission which requires that a common agreement should prevail between the vari sits powers of the state. A new Chamber hoe been elected at the summons of the King. To it. within the limita of its sphere of action, the interests of • the country will henceforth be con fi ded. Gentlemen, now that the electors 'nave epoken, the King hopes smite/Ista, and it is also the most sincere wish of his ministers, that the gee.e.-ninent and the national reprceent.tion by sincere co-oneration will mutually seek to facili tate the accomplishment of the task the constitution imposes upon them i-t order to attain the object every one desires—the welfare e! our deer country. This sincere co-operation, by which the free exchange of opinions is not shackled and which does not attack any conviction, is in dispensable. not only in the interne of the national wel fare, but also, and above all, in view of so many impor tant measures that will be laid before you for delibera tion in the course of the present session. The royal speech his already given you a sketch of the various ba:, relat ing to home administratioexand to judicial, financial. and colonial legislation that will be submitted to you. lon will also have to 'devote your first labours to examining and settling the Ludget oi the state for the coming year, and you A2l also I.avf , to determine other matters which cannot well be deferrei. Other tills not less important will also claim your atteation. Gen ' tlernen, the government begins this session with you, in confidence that the new composition of the Second Chamber will respond to the intentions of the King. and that with the blessing of Providence your labours will have salutary results for the prosperity said welfare of the coun try and its colonies. May our efforts to attain this object continually bear the character of reciprocal oonfidence, of common agreement. and good will. in order that, by sincerely and faithfully observing the provisions of the fundamental law, we may together furnish to the o f which has entrusted to us the care of its moral and mate anddeclarsana rial interests the proof and offer to it a guarantee that the psertu esn minon e t n a t otifa be tnit. t e w sl e i r tteshe th oK e einn g eg lern iz tosa le.. t 7e Netherlai.ds are governed upon the basis of durable I "ntinetipreno:Lragreet
