DEPUTATION TO THE ARCHBISHOP OF CAN TERBURY.-(THIS DAY.) _ _ _ To-day at noon a deputation, headed by Arch deacon Wordsworth, and consisting of Nene 30 of the ben& heed clergy of the diocese of London and Winchester, whose livings are in or seer the metropolis, waited upon his grace the Archbishop of Canterbu7, at Lambeth Palace, to present the following memorial : " We, the undersigned clergymen of the United Churches of England and Ireland, resident in metropolitan parishes within the dioceses of London and Winchester, respectfully ✓icher your grace in reference to the recent introduction into the celebration of Divine service of practices which by their diversity and by their deviation from law and from long established urge are disturbing the peace and impairing the efficiency of the church, and are disquieting the minds of many devout members of our communion. Without yen teriog to secest any remedy for the evils of which we com plain, we earnestly pray your grace to devise such mar eves, in concert with your suffragans, as may be best cal culated to repress such of the practices referred to as are inept, and to genre that measure of uniformity in the celebration of Divine service which is involved in the idea of a national church." Archdeacon WORDSWORTH introduced the deputation, and explained to his grace the object of the memorialists, who, he maid, were 508 10 number. - - The ARCHBISHOP, having received the memorial, replied se follows :—Mr. Archdeacon and my rev. bretbrao, Nobody can be more deeply impremed than I am with the gravity of the circumstances in which the church is plead by the innovations in the matter of ritual which have rr 'tangy hese introduced in some few quarters. In my own diocese I bare the satisfaction to believe that not a single instance of the kind has ocnurred. What course it may be ultimately necessary to pursue lam not prepared to ay, bat I believe the first step to be taken would be to ascertain distinctly what the law allows and what it does not. allow. We, to whom the government of the church is intrusted, shall then know what is the real position of the church in this respect, and shall be able to regulate our action accordingly. I beg to assure you that it is my anxious desire to pro mote en'formity in public worship to the utmost of my power, and to reconcile the conflicting interests of the different patios in the church without any sacrifice of principle. May the Spirit of Grace guide us to discover a righteous solution of the perplexing difficulties that sur round us l PILOSABLI, FRIDAY. 011 NOITIESRII SATURDAY. Chiefly between S.S.W. amen.

Osz oothocm; The stock markets retain a very dull appearance, with limited transactions. Consols exhibit a fresh reduction of 1-16 to I per cent. The varia tions in foreign and British railway stocks are also unfavourable, but they are neither numerous nor I important. The shares of the financial and discount companies are flat, and a decline, ranging from 2e. 6d. to 55., has occurred in London Financial, Imperial Mercantile, and Overend, Gurney, and Co. No alteration has been made to-day in the Bank of England rate of discount. The discount market is quieter to-day, but the charge for the best bills is maintained at 72 per cent. The rate in the Stock Exchange for advances till to-morrow is 8 per cent, with a limited supply of money. Congola are quoted 864 to # for money, and 86 11-16 to 13-16 for the account (February 8). The foreign stock market is fiat, and the amount of business limited. Italian Bonds of 1861 have declined per cent., and Turkish of 186.5 and Spanish Passive, /. The Committee's Certifi cates, however, have improved 4. The quotations are am follows :—Greek, In to 131 ; Italian, 611 to ; Mexican, 20 to ; Spanish Passive, 241 to jE ; ditto Certificates, 131 to t ; Turkish, 1865, 384 to i; Brazilian scrip, to prem. ; Egyptian scrip, 4 to 4 prem. American securities exhibit no variation of im portance. 6-20 Bonds are now quoted 661 to ; Erie Railway shares, 534 to 1, ex div. ; and nolo, 741 to 75/, ex div.

Annuities, Reduced Three per Cent. Annuities, Annuities for Thirty Years, Annuities for Terms of Years, India Four per Cent. Stook. Oa Friday, the tad March, the above-named funds will be transferable without the dividend due on the sth April next. Bank Stook— Shut, Wednesday, 14th March, 1866; open, Friday, 6th April, 1866. A great deal of attention was directed to the proceedings at yesterday's meeting of the Joint Stock Discount Company. For some days past a vague but general feeling of distrust has been ex cited by the disclosures made at the meetings of this company, and of the London Finan cial Association, and there can be no ques tion that the shares of all the financial and credit companies, as well as of many undertakings in the miscellaneous list, have been prejudiced thereby. The effect produced has been the greater because these unsatisfactory disclosures have been made at a time when the public mind is predisposed to distrust, on account both of the critical condition of the money market and of the losses which have been incurred on a large number of new undertakings. The markets, however, are not devoid of a certain degree of intrinsic steadiness, because it is known that there is a large party of speculators for a fall who would probably come in hastily as buyers, to cover their previous sales, were any favourable feature to arise. The steamer Oneida has arrived at Lisbon from Brazil with 18,9191. in specie. The dividend on Metropolitan Railway stock officially announced at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum, being the same as that declared for the cor responding period of 1864. The stock was un favourably affected to-day by this news, and clotted at a fall of 1 per cent. The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 8,9054 over last year ; the Midland au increase of 3,1221. ; and the Great Eastern an increase of 6581. ; the Great Northern an increase of 5,293/. ; and the Great Western an increase of 3,0771. The following is the report of the directors of the Universal Marine Insurance Company (Limited), to be presented at the sixth ordinary general meeting on the Bth February : The directors have to submit to the shareholders the aooompanyitig sixth annual statement of the affairs of the eompanv, closing oe the 31st December, 1865, and manic ing all the company's affairs to that data These accounts show the total net receipt of the past year for premiums, after deductions of all brokerage. discount upon, and returns of premium, and expenses of reinsurance' effected by the company, to have amounted to the sum of 253,207/. Ils. sd. In the same peri , id the company reoeived 8,965/. 17s. Bd. for interest end dividends on its investments. The payment' of the company. oa the other hand, for the adjustment of claims up to 30th December, after deducting salvage received, has amounted to 266,4291 P 13s. Id. There has resulted, in consequence, in the past year's business of the company, including in it all payments for losses pro ceeding from the business of previ. us years, an excess of expenditure over income of 20,3191.115. 3d., which bag bane defrayed out of capital. It may be added, however, that the amount of risks outstanding on the 31st December was nearly 1,000,0001. less than the corresponding period of last year. The directors of the British and Irish Magnetic Telegraph Company have declared a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum for the past half year. The half-yearly meeting of the Midland Railway Company is called for the 20th February, at Derby.
