The chief improvement is in the English funds, which show a recovery of per cent. Most other securities are fairly sup ported at yesterday afternoon's quotations. Spanish Passive Bonds and Certificates, however, have relapsed. The discount market is quieter to-day, but the rate for the best bills is firm, at 61 to 7 per cent.

The foreign loans lately introduced seem to have met with only a limited amount of support at the hands of the British public. It is felt that de mands of this nature are far too frequent, and the tendency to caution is certainly not diminished by the prospect of further issues of a magnitude that will cast the leans now on the market quite into the shade. That many foreign governments are habi tual borrowers is well known to all of us, and it is to be inferred that they will remain in financial straits just as long as we suffer them to continue the hand-to-mouth system, in which they have so long indulged. There will be no adequate retrench ment-no radical financial reform-abroad until British capitalists draw their purse strings tight, and demand large terms for the accommodation asked of them. We have, indeed, something else to do with our savings at this time of dear money. There are plenty of enter prises of a really legitimate and promising character which are in want of capital, and in which it may be much more usefully em ployed than in contributing to the empty pomp of courts, to the maintenance of hundreds of thousands of men in armed idleness, or to the manufacture of every species of weapon destined for the d.struc tion of the human race. As regards those countries which are notoriously in want of railway communi cations, and of public works of every sort, the ex travagance of their governments is deserving of especial reprobation, for when the English market is gorged with government stock, there can be but • limited opening for issues of capital for railway and similar useful purposes, unless on almost pro hibitory terms. Looking, however, merely to our own interests, a 7 per cent. rate of discount at the Bank is proof enough that we are at present at the limit of our immediately available resources, as regards capital, that we have barely sufficient for our purely trading purposes, and that our legiti mate home business must be prejudiced if we are so imprudent as to throw our money broadcast over the world, in investments of au unproductive cha racter. The proposals of the Spanish Government with regard to the settlement of the Passive and Certifi cate debts are looked for with touch interest, the more especially as the affair, from its magnitude, is necessarily one of unusual difficulty. To deal only with round numbers and a hypothetical rate of settlement-8,000,0001. of Certificates, at 20 per cent., would represent 1,600,000/. of new stock ; 7,000,000/. of the Passive stock dealt in bare taken at 40, would represent 2,80(1,000!. ; 11 million of first class Passive stock, at 60, would amount to 750,000/. : and 3,000,0001. of the se;:outl class exterior Passive, at 32, would amount to 960,000/. These claims would thus represent, upon this basis ' All aggregate of about 6,100,000/. ; and if it is to be assumed that the holders are to receive the equivalent of cash in the subscription fur a new loan, the mere settlement of the Passive and Certi ficate debts would involve the creation of between 14,000,0001. and 15,000,0001. of new Spanish 3 per cent. stock. But in any settlement that may take place, the Spauish government will doubt less insist upon getting a new loan, and, supposing it to be content with 5,000,0001. of cash, some 12,000,0001. more of 3 per oeut. stock would have to be created. Adding this amount to that already hypothetically arrived at for the settlement of the Passive and Certificate debts, it would appear that upon this plan an aggregate of at least 27,000,0001. of new 3 per cent. stock would have to be issued. Now, it is extremely doubtful whether, in the present disposition of the market with regard to foreign loans, an operation of this magnitude could be successfully carried through. Of course everyone wishes to encourage the Spanish government in the desire attributed to it, of dealing tardy justice to its creditors, but it would be delusive to veil front sight the ditlicultiea which must attend the affair, by reason chiefly of the delay which Spain has culpably permitted during a long aeries of years. The steamer Oneida, from Brazil, has arrived at Lisbon, with 53,142/. in specie. We are requested to mention that, " in conse quence of the arrangement recently entered into with the Italian government for the sale of the crown domains, the Italian Land Company have made a call of 51. per share." The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 6,9541. over last year; the Great Western, an increase of 2,833/. ; and the Great Northern, an increase of 3,720/. The West India and Pacific Company's steamer Barbadian ' which left Liverpool yesterday for La Guaira, took 10,000/. in gold for the London and Venezuela Bank at Caracas. The report of the directors of the City and County assurance Company (Limited) recommend., that interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum be paid on the paid-up capital up to the 30th Sept. last, and states as follows : During the nine months 2,830 policies have been issued in the various departments, producing a new asses' income from premiums of 5,382 f. Ds. 3d. The premiums fret tire insuranoe amounted to 3,0841. I:Ni. 7d., awl the present quarter is showing a progressive proporti mato i: , crease. The claims in this department amount to 14fr21.

Schroder and Co. have announced the dividends due the 15th December on the bonds of the Bay of Bavaria and Matanzas Railroad and Matanzas and Sabanilla Railroad Companies. Messrs.

We are requoated to state that Mr. Charles Lungley, the well known sLipbuil.lor , of Deptford, has entered Litman arrangement with the 3E1'19.'41 Iron Works, Shipbuilding and Graving Ducks Com pany (Limited) by which he joins that company with his shipbuilding and engineering works at Deptford, and takes the general control of the united establishments as director of the worka. This will place the additional capability required fur their large business within the control of the Millwall Company, together with the most extensive dry dock in the Thames. The subjoined report on the bullion market is from the circular of 'Messrs. Sharps and Wilkins, issued yesterday : The principal feature in the bullion mai kat during the past fortnight has been the sudden and very decided revival of the demand for barsilver. This has been caused princi pally by the late news from America, abutting out any hopes of an immediate cessiatioo of the civil war, and the consequent urgent need of silver as a means of remittance for the purchase of cotton in the East. The price has therefore improved, and closed with considerable firmness at in. lid. to Ss. 1,1. per oz. standard. Transactions in Mexican dollars have been incoosiderable, the arrivals at the same time. however, having been but limited, the market shows but little alteration. The stocks at present on hand are very firmly held fur higher prices. About I,ooo,Utal of these coins are expected to arrive during the month of December. Gold of all descriptions continues in demand, and all ar rivals are immediately taken for export. WEDNESDAY $117211216.

The rapid rise of the last few days inducing realisations, however, a relapse took place iu the afternoon, y.Jt the closing quotatious were still in each case about / per cent. above those cur rent at 4 o'clock yesterday.

Vene zuela Bonds were firmer, and the Loans of 1862 and 1804 improved it per cent., owing to the satisfaction inspired by to-day's adsices.

SUNDAY TRAINS .—On Tuesday, a public meeting was held in Queenetzeet-hall, Edinburgh. for the purpose of adopting measures in opposition to recent encroachments by the running of railway trains for ordinary traffic on the Sunday. Sir James Gardiner Baird, Bart., occupied the chair, and addresses were delivered by the chairman, the Rev. Sir Henry Moncrieff, Rev. Mr. Miloloo, of Perth ; Rev. W. Graham, of Newhaven ; Rev. Dr. Macfarlane, of Dal keith—all of whom denounced the system of running both passenger and goods trains on the Sunday, which had been increased of late on the North British Railway. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted:—" That this meeting have learned with regret and alarm that the North British Railway Company have begun to run trains for ordinary traffic, upon an extensive scale, OD the Lord's day. That this meeting, considering the Divine law of the Sabbath to be one of the essential supports to vital and practical Christianity, feel it incumbent on them to make every exertion for the maintenance of that law, as it has hitherto been understood by the Scottish people, and are persuaded that the running of the trains referred to is defended by reasons, which, if allowed to prevail, would speedily lead to a most wide-spread and dangerous interference with the rest and sanctity of the Cbristiau Sabbath. That this meeting regard the measures of the North British Railway Company in this direction as tendlob specially to the injury of the working clasiee, and resolve to eo.operate with those classes in seeking to have such measures arrested and reversed. That this meeting resolve to memorislise the directors of the North British Railway Company OD this subject, and appoint a committee for the purpose of giving effect to those resolutions, by conferring with public bodies, or otherwise, as they may find cape. ----- CHILD MURDER IN PADDINGTON.--On the 13th of September the dead body of a ferule child, apparently about ten days old, was found wrapped in an apron in the first-class waiting-room of the departure station of the Great Western Railway at Paddiogton. The skull was fractured, and • ligature was found tied round the throat. The inquest, which was opened shortly after wards, and has been three times adjourned, was concluded yesterday, at the Junction Arms, before Dr. Inokester and • jury. The coroner said, that after the last meet ing be wrote to Sir George Grey, who stated that her Majesty's government would give • reward of SO/. for the discovery of the perpetrator of the crime. He wrote also to the parish of Paddington, but they stated they bad no funds at their disposal from which they could offer • reward. He thought, however, if vestries were in earnest they would find the means of giving • reward for so fair and proper a purpose as detecting the crime of rrurder. He then wrote to the police, and asked if they had published the offer of 50/. reward, and he confessed he was rather astonished when he was told in reply that the usual course was for the crown to communicate with the parish authori ties, who would take the steps to publish the bills. Ho bad always thought that if there was one duty which more than another devolved upon the police it was the detection of the crime of murder. and it now appeared they had circulated the bills, but unfortunately no further information had aa yet been obtained. The crime was probatly committed by the mother of the child. Them was anmethin; very shocking in that. and we ought not to sit quiet while this kind of crime was to a large extent prevailing among us. Ic the first year of his coronership he hold eighty inquests in which verdicts of murder were returned, and he had calculated that of all the adult women in that district of Middlesex, one in every forty had imbued her hands in the blood of her child. The body of an infant, quite warm, was recently found at Primrose-hill, and that of a child sin weeks old had been discovered at Hornsey. No doubt there was a spurious feeling abroad, and the woman was looked upon as sinned minor ; but here was the crime committed, and that was what the law ought to deal with. The only additional evidence adduced was that of Win. Hawtrey. of the police, who stated that inquiries hid been continued, but not the slightest trace bad been ob tained of the person who left the child. The jury them returned • verdict of wilful murder against some pence or parsons noknowe. THE SHOCKING AFFAIR IN THE BARED-KN.—The reports of the inquest held at Bartholomew's Hospital, upon the body of Mary Deacon, stated that the Rev. R. May asserted in his evidence that " she was not happy." He rid (perhaps ie a too* too low for the reporters to catch correctly) "she was happy." The unfortunate de ceased was • member of the Baptist chore, the City recklerstreet, Golden-lane, Barbican. Her = Et is • poor widow, who is by the death of this daughter deprived to some extent of her livelihood, as she was partly supported by the deceased. Bach is her destitution and trouble that Mr. May, the Baptist minister, writes from 49, Barbican, to say be should be thankful if some benevolent readers would remit cootrtbo tins for bar relief.

Two o'Cuscu. In the mining market to-dayy the principal feature is a good demand for East Lovell and Great Vor shares, which have risen to 15} to 16, and 34 to 35, respectively. On the other hand East Russell have declined to 5* to *. The transactions gene rally are upon a limited scale. St. John del Rey and Port Phillip shares are in request at advanced quotations ; the former have been dealt in at 35 to 36, and the latter at If and 11. An extraordinary meeting of the East India Coal Company (Limited) is called for the 7th December, to confirm the resolutions passed on the 21st inst., authorising an increase of the capital. With reference to East Russell, the following telegram was received yesterday from Captain J. Richards :—" Hundred and thirty improved, worth fifteen pounds (151.) per fathom." The directors of the Port Phillip arid Colonial Gold Mining Company have received by telegram tram Sues the followieg advice, in anticipation of the Australian mail from their resident director, Mr. Bleed, at Chines, giving the result of the month of September lest :—.• Six wield re turn :—Quaatity of quartz crushed, 5,3 W tow ; yield pre ton. 10dets. 4Sgra, or 2,7000 z. gold.

THE DEFALCATIONS IN THE POST-OFFICE SAVINGS BANK.—From the most reliable sources es have gathered • informatioo oo this subject, which will set at rest ;any of the absurd exaggerations which have for ,o-oe days been in circulation. In the first place the defaulter was detected by the ordinary checks, and on the very d..y on which he ought to have been detected by tho paper operation of such checks. He appears to have foreseen this, sod dis appeared just at the right tame. It is true that officers have been despatched to Australia after lam, but this bee bees done on principle, and not by ratio° of the &mount of the fraud perpetrated, which, so far from reaching the ex aggerated amounts which have been stated, is really under 100/. The loss will fall, of course, entirely upon the de partment, and no depositor will suffer, or would have suffered if the loss had bees a thousand times as much. The system of checks now in operation has reduced the possibili ties of fraud to • minimum, while in so case eau depositors suffer by reason of such malpractices.—MorniAq A .I.ertiaer. FREDERICK DOI:GUM{ AND Ht.{ OLD STATI!.. FredetiCk Douglass spoke in Baltimore on the evening ed the 18th. In announcing his purpose to do so, in Zion Church, Rochester, on the previous Sunday night, be said : —.• What • wonderful change • few short years hav• wrought! I left Maryland a slave. I return to her • freeman ! I left her a slave state. I return to lied her clothed in her new garments of Liberty sad Jeanie*, a free state! My life has had two crises—the day on which I left Maryland, and the day on which 1 return. I expert to have a good old•fasbioaed visit, for I have not been there for a long time. I may meet my old master there, whom I have not seen for many years. I beard he was living only • short time ago, and be will be there, for be is on the right side. I made a °wrath of him years ago. He was a very good man, with a high sense of honour, and I have no malice to overcome in going back among those former elaveholders, for I used to think that we were all parts of one great social system, only we were at the bottom and they at the Omt If the shackles were around our ankles, they were 4to on their seeks. The Common Council and the city Lathe- Titles have promised to be present at the seat meetieg is Baltimore. I shall be glad to see them. I shall retain to them with freedom in my hand, and point to her fees constitution, and am the olive branch was a sign that the waters of the flood were retiring, so will the freshet' which I shall find there be • sign that the billows elf slavery are rolling back to leave the law blooming orbs in the purer air of liberty and justice."
