The mining market is quiet to-day, with few transactions, owing chiefly to the intervention of the fortnightly settlement. East Lovell shares are quoted 13 to It ; East Caradon, 154 to 14 ; and Great Vor, 32 to as, ex div. Very little business has occurred in the Stock Exchange. Foreign and colonial mining shares are unaltered. Mariquita, however, exhibit a favourable tendency. MONEY MARKET-(THIS DAY.) Two o'Cloox. The arrangement of the account in shares and foreign stocks still forms the chief business in the Stock Exchange, but the tone of the several mar ' kets is firm, and in some cases prices have again improved. The funds are strong, and are quoted quite as good as they closed yesterday. Some of the speculative foreign stocks are better, especially Greek, but Confederate has fallen. Home railway stocks are generally firm. There is a good demand for money to-day, and 6 per cent. is the lowest rate for choice bills. In the Stock Exchange the charge for short loans is si to 6 per cent., being higher. At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Reuter's tele gram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 65fr. 60c., being sc. better than yesterday. Consols are now quoted 891 to ; 5 ., ex div., for money, and 891, "sellers," ex div., for the account (Jan. 10).

Reduced, 881, ; New Three per Cents., 881, 1 ; India Five per Cent, stock, 103 ; ditto Bonds, 4s. prem. ; and Exchequer Bills, 3s. prem., 2s. die. The news from America, especially the reported capture of Savannah, with 11,000 Confederate prisoners, has caused a fall of 3 per cent. in the Confederate Loan to-day. Turkish Bonds of 1862 have declined 1 per cent., and Spanish Passive 1, but, with these exceptions, foreign stocks are firm. Greek Bonds are in request, and have risen 1 per cent. Some of the present quotations are annexed, viz. :—Greek Bonds, 24 to 1 ; Mexican, 291 to 1 ; Confederate, 58 to 60 ; Spanish Passive, 321 to 1 ; the Certificates, 144 to 2; Turkish, of 1838, 70 to 1 ; ditto 1862, 72 to 1 ; and the Consolides, 48g to 1.

The steamer Ellora took yesterday 155,400/. in silver and 9,8501. in gold fur Bombay, and 17,872/. is gold for Alexandria, making a total of 182,922/. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were generally quoted about the same as on Friday. The quotation fur bills on Vienna was rather lower. Subjoined is our usual hat : - .

At Shaughae the exchange has advanced id., and at Bombay id. At Canton a decline of id. has oc curred. The former movements are against, while the latter is in favour of, England. At Calcutta no variation has taken place. The failure is ann3uoced of Messrs. Hill and Weguelin, Russia merchants, with liabilities for about 130,000!. The greater portion of this amount, however, is secured, or consists of bills to be met at maturity by other parties. The firm, though trot of long standing, is respectable. It will be seen by the subjoined circular, which has bveu issued to toe creditors, that the partners ex pect to pay all the liabilitieK in full : 4a, Alderman's-wall, Loodoo, Dec. 21. We regret to infoimyou that, through the failure of re ' mittanoes from St. Petersburg, we have been compelled temporarily to suspend payment. We have found it impor sable, io the present nefavourable state of trade in Russia, to realise our shipments is time to meet our engagements as they MI due. It is, however, our firm conviction that we shall be able to pay everything in full, sod we believe that the statement now being prepared by Messrs. Cooper Brothers and Co., the accountants, who are investigating our affairs, will show a considerable surplus. We fe el bound to add that Messrs. Hills, Weguelin, and Co., oar St. Petersburg correspondents, are in a position to meet all their engagements. A meeting of our creditors will be called io a few days, of which doe notice will be sent you, and in the meaotime we beg your kind forbeareace, and I remain your faithful servants, HILL AND WIDEMAN. Messrs. Edward de Coster and CO., inerchaots, have also stopped payment. Their liabilities reach 50,000/. chiefly secured. A satisfactory liquidation is expecied. The difficulties of the house have arisen through their connexion with Brazil, com bined with leases in other quarters. The circular issued is as follows : ISZ• Pembina-greet, London, Dec. 24.

SO Yi dis About 23,000/. in gold was purchased by the Bank yesterday. There were no withdrawals for exportation. . _ _ The Brighton Railway traffic returns show this week an increase of 5331. over last year, and this South Eastern an increase of Wit. On the eve of Christmas the directors distribute& to the several °dicers engaged in the service of the London and County Bank 101. per cent. ou the amount of their reqpective salaries, with an addition of 54. per cent. for every clear year of service, to mark their appreciation of their continued attach ment to the bank. The following is from the report of the directors of the Loudon and Brazilian Bank (Limited) to be presented at the annual meeting on the Otk January The directors in their last report congratulated the pro prietary on the bank's increase of business, and, in corrobo ration, they have much pleasure in submitting to the share holders the balanee.pheet for the half-year ending the 30th June, The net profit's shown by the acoompsnyiog accounts, amounts to 24,7011. 12a. 11d., and considering the rate of interest on this side, the directors trust the result of the six months' operations will be satisfactory to their co-proprietors. Out of the above sum it is proposed to pay a dividend, free of income tax, of 11. le. per share, amount ing to 15,600/. (equal to intere st on the paid-up capital after the rate of ti per int per annum), and to carry forward the balance of 9,100. 12.. 11d. to the neat account. The intention of the directors wee to have re commended an increased dividend, but in comes pence of the late important failures at Ri• de Janeiro, it is deemed more prudent to carry over a large balance, and to make the distribution proposed. The opportune &nivel in England of Mr. Saunders from the Rio branch, simulta neously with the announcement of the "even crisis in that city, not only afforded the directors the gratifying inteUi geoes of the satisCictory position of that branch, but also that the losses were likely to be much lees thee at first anti cipated, and there is every reason to hope that these wiU be more than compensated by diminished competition, and the general improvement of the business of the bank. By the last advices from the branchest the directors are happy ra say the operations of the bank are progressing most satis factorily. They are also glad to report a steady increase of business in Portugal. The preparatioUA for to-morrow's settlement is the railway market show that the general supply of stock is still only moderate, although the effect of the recent advance in prices has been to induce a few bona tide realisations during the account now drawing to a close. As regards the shares of the financial companies, the terms for carrying over were mostly about the same as last time, and it would appear that some speculative sales have latterly been made of these securities. • The following way be regarded as an approxima tion to the rate+ generally current at the carrying over yesterday : Great Western Lancashire sod Yorkshire 546 to 7.16 Loodoo aud North Western .. ...
