The funds to-day are again weaker, notwith standing a purchase of a larger amount than usual by the government broker. Prices are now quoted 1 per cent. lower than they closed yesterday. French and Lombardo-Venetian rai!way shame have again given way, in consequence of the fall which took place yesterday afternoon on the Paris Bourse, but as regards most other securities more steadiness prevails. Consols opened this morning at 951, " buyers," ex die., for the 11th January, and are now quoted 96 to 1. For the February account the pre sent price is 961 " sellers." Bank Stock has been dealt in at 225 ; the Three per Cents. Reduced,at96l to ; the New Three per Cents., at 961 to 1; Indian Four per Cents. Debentures of the first issue at 991 to 991; India Bonds at 18s. prem. ; Exchequer Bills, both March and June, at 375. to 40s. prem.; and Exchequer Bonds, 1559, at 1001. The New Turkish Loan has again experienced some fluctuations. After being offered at 4 dia., the scrip of both series is now quoted 31 to 31 die. The Six per Cents. of 1854 have de clined to 901 to 91. Other foreign stocks are dull, and the late demand has subsided. Sales are recorded as follows:—Brazilian Four-and-a- Half per Cents., 1858, 941 ; Buenos Ayres Six per Cents., for account, 86, 831; ditto Deferred Bonds, 181; Portuguese Three per Cents., 1853, 4641, ex div.; Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 991, 1001, ex div.; Spanish Three per Cents., 451 ex div. ; ditto New Deferred Three per Cents., for account, 301, ex dir. ; Turkish Six per Cents., 1854, 901; ditto, for account (January 14), 901, 911; ditto Six per Cents., 1838 (scrip of the first series), for account, 4, 31 die. ; ditto second series, for account, 31, 31 die.; ditto Guaranteed Four per Cents., for account, 1051. At Paris to-day (Thursday), according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentea opened at 71fr. 23c. for the end of January, but almost immediately receded to 71fr. 10c., show ing a fresh fall of d per cent. compared with the closing quotation of yesterday. There is still a good demand for money at the Bank and in other quarters, and little or no business is done below the Bank minimum. In the Stock Exchange, however, owing to the recent Lona fide investments in the funds, the supply of money is very abundant, and short loans on government securities are obtainable as low as Ito per cent. The advices from Vienna and the other leading continental markets report no fluctuations at all commensurate with those experienced in Paris and London. The wheat market yesterday was firm, at the some what advanced prices which were established on Monday. A further improvement took place yesterday in the tallow market. _ . . The silver market remains very firm, bat the ope rations already entered into for the Bombay steamer of the 12th inst., are to only a limited extent. A considerable portion of the 123,2001. in gold by the Atrato will be refined in this country, and some -- amount may perhaps, ultimately, be taken to the Bank. - - - The nominal quotation in the Stock Exchange yesterday for the Victoria Six per Cent. Debentures, which are about to be issued, was 106 to 10S, with a dull market. The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 6,1791.; the Great Western a decrease of 241.; and the Great Northern a decrease of 8881. _ . . The half-yearly meeting of proprietors of the Colonial Bank was held yesterday. The business of the half-year has been very successful, the net profits amounting to 36,3201., which allows a dividend of 4 per cent. to be paid for the six months, and leaves 16,3201. to be carried to the reserve fund. This fluid is consequently increased to 37,035/. The directors' report was agreed to. The shares of the London District Telegraph Com pany were quoted yesterday 1-16 to 3-16 prem. Some anxiety is felt for the safety of the ship Pedestrian, Captain Smith, which Bailed from Gravesend for Bombay on the 22nd June, and had not arrived at the latter port on the 9th ult. She had consequently been at sea 168 days. The under writers at Lloyd's are asking five guineas for fresh insurances, or double the sum originally charged. A rather curious circumstance in connexion with the wreck of a vessel has just transpired. A brig, named the Minerva, Captain Greggs, bound from Galatz to Queenstown, having become much over due, was given up in October last as lost, and the claims against the underwriters were duly liquidated. It has now transpired that this vessel was lost off Cork, on the 24th July, having been struck by a sudden squall, which immediately capsised her, and caused her to go down. The only survivor was a seaman named David Kidney, who was picked up off Cork by the ship Middlesex, bound from Liver pool for Melbourne; and the first intelligence re ceived here of the wreck of a vessel off our own coast, upwards of five months ago, comes from the Antipodes. WEIINVPD 1T EVENING. Increased apprehensions that the attitude assumed by France towards Austria on the Italian question may lead to serious complications, exercised consi derable effect on the Stock Exchange to-day. During all the earlier part of the day great depression and some excitement prevailed. At one period, the funds showed a fresh fall of fully per cent., and some of the principal British railway stocks a fall of 1 to 1 per cent. The decline having led to large invest ments in the funds, including some purchases of Con sols for delivery to-morrow (which will be the first transfer day), a firmer feeling subsequently sprang up. The closing quotations of Con sole, however, were still per cent. below those of yesterday, and in most other classes of securities the rally was likewise only partial. Console, which closed yesterday at 96j to a, ex div., for the 11th Jan., opened this morning at 961 to Z, fell to 96 to a, an closed at 98 3-16 to e„ The official business report is as follows:—Three per Cent. Consols, for account (11th Jan.), 961, I 1, L ex dir. ; Three per Cent. Reduced, 961,1, 1, ; New Three per Cents., 96Z, 1,1, ; Bank Stock, 226 ; Indian Four per Cent. Debentures, of the first issue, 901, 99 1 , 991; India Runde. 198. prem. ; 'lhree-and a-Half per Cent. Exchequer Bond., falling payable in May next, 1001. Exchequer Bills, both March and June, remain quoted 375. to 40s. prem. ludi.a Bonds were finis, and were purchased at 19s. prem. The foreign stock market was generally weaker. In the market for bank shares to-day, the prin cipal feature was a fall in o:totiann Bank, which closed at 201 to 21. o:her descriptions present little change. Agra Bank shares were officially marked 081; Commercial Bank of Canada, 21f ex div.; and Nation.,lProvincial Bank of England, 781 ex dir. Canada Lind shares have risen to 120 to 126. Royal Mil Steam shares were likewise in quired tor, whilst Victoria Dock stock was quoted rather lower. London General Omnibus shares were weaker, closing at 11 to I. Commercial Dock stock was marked 1061. The shares of the Australian Agricultural Com pany closed at 351 to 36. This company's advices from Australia are described as satisfactory.

It was in tended to multiply the shares fruit 243 to 486, giving two for every one now held.

LAND SLIP AT PORTLARD.—The late rains have canted an exteestve land-slip in the western side of the Wand, near Priory, above the village of Fortane's Well. A mans of earth to the extent of several *nee last week moved from he rocky bed, and fell over into the sea. As the accident cornered in an uninhabited portion of the Island it was unattended with any loss of life, with the exoeption of en unlucky donkey which happened to be at the time on the descending avalanche.—Sherberes /menet THE CREW OP TUE 811ANNON.—The arrival of the Sh•turon at this port last week, has given new life to Port ent which in a great measure is dependent on the navy for its trade. The Bailors' Home, that excellent, wall-con ducted, and secure retreat for our gallant tare, has exhibited new signs of its usefulness, from the fact that most of the crew of the Shannon have taken up their quarters at the " Home." About 160 of her original mew have returned in her, and but for the fact of the captain having a Mete for flogging, which we regret to state has been prevalent on her homeward voyage, • united and happy crew would have returned to receive the award of then hard-earned horde.

About • fortnight ago the cat brought a rat into the how, and around the neck of the rat was the mining marriage-ting. It is euppond, as rata are known to carry off coins or pieces of silver or gold, that the ring had been taken to the rat's neat, where it had gone over the neck of one of the 'mug ones, and remained there until the animal had advaeotet to growth, and, curiously enough, been captured by the cat.
