(THIS DAY.) This afternoon, at 2 o'clock, an important and attended meeting on behalf of the Albert orpl.su Asylum was held at the Egyptian-hall, Mansion lie, the Loup MaYou in the chair. Among the gentle- E, present were : Lord Calthorpe, Mr. Goschen, M.P., .Vdernieo and Sheriffs Galva and Begley, Mr. Thomas c....u.bers, Mr. J. Payne, to. Thy objects and nature of the asylum are described in z . , • T.owing prospectus:—" A few gentlemen deeply ins. ••• I with the great necessity which exists for some • •her provision for the rescue, Christian education, and t .. ,•:4 of thoroughly destitute orphans, have resolved to an asylum for their reception, and for this par. • :.hey have purchased a suitable banding near Bagahot, • -rev. with 200 acres of land, the cost of which, icicle ,,l* furnishing, will be about 15,0C,Y. The committee ire: to open the institution under the name of ' The Albert .asylum.' a name not only offering a mark of loyalty • n-pent to the Queen, but perpetuating the memory of t lite esteemed Prince Consort. The necessity for such sc. isstitutioo is painfully obvious. Thousands of destitute orphAlls are thrown on the world every year without any ..c.table provision being made for bringing them up as ...fitl hien:hers of society, and hence large numbers find ch-.ci way into our reformatories, prisons, and penitentiaries. Ts••re were a few months back nearly 2,,000 children waiting - se admitted into existing institutions, and it is clear that it t..ere are such numbers of orphan children er whom friends are canvassing and endeavouring t secure their admission into the present in it.:4OJUN there must be many thousands who L ee 11l one to take up their cause, owing to the time and ex - o•e re•luired to secure their election. To rescue these u tLe object of this asylum, and to this end, a new and im par:..at feature is introduced into the constitution of this inc...ution—siz., no canvassing for votes will be allowed. ▪ cl.ll.lren will be selected by the subscribe, according t • the merits of their respective cases, and thus the most de•ereic; objects will be certain of securing the of the asylum.

The girls will be trained to become t , ...'ron;h servants. In addition to household and other washing, ironing, Sic., they will be taught to make an•d butter, and to milk cows. Especial attention uc paid to their being made efficient in plain and useful rework, a branch of industry felt to have been ..s.h neglected in the training of domestic servants. ite 2") th of November, the first election of 50 buys and ".. rids (of all religious denominations), took place, and be. 'n• Christmas theywill be admitted into the Asylum. The xt election will be in the spring of 1865. As soon as the fe will allow, the committee propose to extend the build. with a view of accommodating 1,000 orphans, and they ;••-• to receive 200 children every year until that number • mplete. The committee earnestly appeal for funds, nxl sincerely trust that this effort to benefit a class of n7pl-. to children for whom little provision is made, will meet with a liberal and ready. response." . . . . I'..tolations is fortheranoa of the object were proposed -ad adopted. cf:YSTAL PALACE comparir—(THlS DAY.) Tie ball-yearly meeting of proprietors was held It 1 o'clock at the London Tavern ; Mr. T. N. FAIWCIIAIi in t'.a chair. The report, which had teen issued tad published SOON 'ice before, haviog been taker' as read, The CHAIRMAN ,in , n moving the adoption of the report, said it would no doubt be recollected that at the December cleating last year it was stated to be necessary to draw on soother fund thee revenue to make up the dividend of : per cent. for the year. Os this occasion the same dividend was forthcoming simply out of revenue, and that was, he thought, a favourable omen for the future. The receipts of 1844 were 56,600/., while those of the past year were 72,5001., leaving a baleen' of 13,9001. in favour of the 1 , t period, arising from fair and legitimate bulimia .• ..cers.) The hurry with which the building was - strutted had again necessitated some expendi in improving it; but it was now in ea. rot order. For this latter statement he 1 the authority of so excellent judge, namely, Mr. Jamie --myth. The re , •eipts were, moreover, not enhanced by 'peeled attraction. In the ensuing year there would be 1, Handel Festival, which, it was hoped, would prove proluctive.

Two o'CLocz. The stock markets to-day are 6rm, with a rather favour►ble tendency, which is especially observable as regards home railway stocks. The funds have risen per cent. Other securities present only a fractional improvement. The fortnightly settlement is in progress, and will be completed to-morrow. Some speculative purchases have been prompted to-day by a continued rumour that a reduction in the Bank rate of discount is likely to take place to-morrow ; but, on the other hand, it is fully believed that a consider- able amount of sovereigns will be taken from the Bank for exportation to Egypt shortly—perhaps this afternoon. The discount market remains quiet, with few bills offering, and exceptional transactions continue to take place at 04 per cent., being below the Bank minimum. Short loans are obtainable in the Stock Exchange at 4 per cent. At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Renter's tele gram, the Three per Cent. Rentz' were quoted 66fr. 25c., being bc. better than yesterday. Consols are now quoted 89/ to ex div., for money, and 89} to ex div., for the account (January 10). The official business report is as follows —Three per Cent. Con sols, for money, 891, i ; ditto for account, 89i, Three per Centa. Reduced, 881, ; New Throe per Cents., 881, ; Bank Stock, 237, 239 ; India Five per Cent. Stock, 102, 103, 1021, 103} ; and Ex chequer Bills, ss. dia. I Foreign stocks are generally steady. Some of the present quotations are as follows, viz. :--Greek, 221 to 23; Mexican, 291 to 4 ; Confederate, 60 to 62; Spanish Passive, 311 to 1; the Certificates, 134 to 144 ; Turkish Bonds of 1858, 70 to i; ditto 1862, 711 to 1; and the Consolidds, 461 to 471, ex div. Transactions are recorded as follows :—Brazi lian, 1852,1858, 1860, 835, ex div. ; ditto 1863, 831; Egyptian, 1864, 941, ; Mexican, 291 ; ditto for account, 291 ; Portuguese, 1856, kc., 47/, 1 ; Russian, 1862, 861 ; ditto 1864, 881 ; Spanish, for account, 481 ; ditto Passive, 311, ; ditto Certificates, 131, 14 ; ditto for aooount, 141 ; Turkish 1858, 691 ; ditto 1862, 711 ; ditto 1001.

International Financial shares are now quoted 21 to 1 prem. ; London Financial, 91 to prem. ; General Credit, 21 to prem. ; Imperial and Mercantile Credit, 31 to a prem. ; Hudson's Bay, 161 to 1 ; Ottoman &Mai G4ndrale, 21 to 1 prem ; and Anglo-Egyptian Bank, Ito dia. Egyptian Loan scrip is quoted I to 1 prem . ; Danubian, I dis. to par: Monte-Video, } to i prem.; Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures, } to i prem. It is almost certain that, should the weekly court of the Bank of England separate to-morrow with out reducing the rate, the demand for money will revive, and, with this prospect in view, it seems too much to expect that the Bank of England will reduce their terms just at present, unless the forth coming weekly return shows a very marked acces sion to their resources. The amount of gold sent into the Bank yester day was 91,000/. Some withdrawals of sovereigns for Alexandria are shortly expected. The Seine, from the West Indies, has brought 226,000/. in specie. The accounts from Melbourne report the sailing for England of the Monarch with 104,000/. in gold, and the Essex with 84,500/., making together 188,5001. The former has been at sea 52 days, and the latter 75days. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were generally quoted about the same as on Friday. h ate for bills on St. Petersburg was rather lower. The list is subjoined : Amsterdam, 3 months, 11.181 to 19 : ditto. 3 days, 11.144 to 15 ; Rotterdam, 3 mouths, 11.181 to 191 ; Ant werp. 3 mouths. 25.55 to 60; Hamburg, ma. bane*, 3 aboatha, 13.8 to 1 : Paris, 3 days, 25.171 to 23; ditto, 3 months, 25.35 to GO ; Frankfort-on-thirMaine, 3 mouths, 120 4 to 1; St. Petersburg (per ronhle), 3 months, 304 to 31 ; Vienna, eff.

The North British Daily Mail reports the stop page of Messrs. Stirling, Gordon, and Co., of Glas gow, an old and respectable house, with liabilities to the amount of about 180,000/. The partners ascribe their difficulties chiefly to the great fall in the value of produce. The Maudtester Courier also announces the failure of Messrs. J. bL and J. Stanley, of the Midland Iron Works, Sheffield, with liabilities estimated at 40,000/., and of Messrs. H. J. Walduck and Co., metal brokers, of Manchester, Birmingham, and other places, with liabilities cons pate! at 20,0001. The airless from Melbourne announce the failure of Mr. J. IL Dodgsou, merchant, with liabilities for 102,0001., and assets amounting to 93,0001. Messrs. Cohen Brothers, merchants, bad also stopped payment ; their liabilities were 36,0001., and assets 27,0001. This 6rm had likewise an establishment at Launceston, where their liabilities were estimated at 513,0001., and assets 9,0001. A movement is in progress in the Stock Exchange with the view of inducing the committee to close that establishment from the afternoon of Friday, the 23rd inst., till Tuesday, the 27th, thus making both the Saturday preceding Christmas-day and the Monday following it holidays. Whether the com mittee will accede to the memorial may perhaps depend upon the amount of support it may recaive, but it is certain that in many walks of business very little will be done on the Saturday. On behalf of that hardly-worked class the bankers' clerks, whose position on the present occasion is rendered pecu liarly hard by the anomalous condition of the law, it is suggested that the clearing-house might be closed at 1.30 p.m. on Monday, the 20th. This arrangement, on a day which will virtually be kept as a general holiday, could not be productive of any practical inconvenience, and would give some 3,000 employs in the various banking-houses what they get very rarely indeed— a half holiday. The following notification relative to the coming holi days has been addressed from the Treasury-cakes to the Bank of England TretaF:y ettam?ton : Dec. 12,1864. Gentlemen,—l am directed by the Lonls Comai v issiooers of her Majesty's Treasur► to aoquaiot you time, as the public departments will be closed on Monday, the 2ilth instant, ex cept for the transaction of indiapsosable business, by reason of Christmas-day falling on Sunday, my lords have been pleased to calms a notice to be issued, that all bills of ex change accepted by the Paymaster-Grovel and payable on his account at the Bank of E•iglaod, which fall due oo the 2tith instant, will be paid. if presented, oa Saturday, the 24th instant ; bat that bills due on the 2Gth, and not paid on the 24th, will be paid as usual. if required. I em, there fore. ►o request you will give publicity to the notice above alluded to. —1 am, &c., OZORGI A. HAMILTON. The Governors and Depnty-Governore of the Bank of England. It is suggested that the Calcutta, China, and Australian mails, which in the regular course would be made up in London on the evening of Monday, the 26th inst., fur despatch riot Marseilles, should be deferred until Tuesday, the 27th. The adoption of this step by the Post-office authorities would con fer a boon upon a large number of persons engaged in mercantile houses. Advises front Constantinople mention the issue of the prospectus of a loan for 2,000,000/. sterling made by the Ottoman Boei6ki Gintinde to the Turkish government, as referred to in the Daily News of the sth inst. The price of issue is 98, but as the interest is deferred for a Short period, the real price becomes a fraction under par. The bonds are of 1001. each, and bear 8 per cent. per annum interest. The whole amount is to be paid off iu five annual drawings, the last of which is to take place in 1869. Apart, however, from the repay ment at par, a portion of the sinking fund, amount ing to about 6 per oent. upon the capital, is to be distributed as prizes upon a portion of the numbers drawn. For instance, the first number taken out of the bag will receive a prize of 5,000 Turkish limn, equal to about 4,800/. sterling ; the second number a prize of 2,000 liras ; the next tire num bers prison of 1,000 liras each ; and so on, down to 1 150 bras. The security assigued to the loan, as before stated, consists of the sheep tithes of Rou ' melba, which are described as more than sufficient for the purpose. Assuming the chance of a prize to be worth 6 per cent., the havestment apparel itly shows a total return of 14 per cent. per annum, and as the Ottoman Socite: G4n4rale has doubtless, in adi tion secured to a eouriderabie profit upon the transaction,i an idea may be formed of the onerous rates which the Turk ish government is still obliged to pay for accoinruodation. These who have enter tained a hopeful view of the future course of the Turkish finances will certainly not be encouraged by seeing the g overnment now mortgage one o f best sources of revenue for five years in considera tion of a lump sum, which will probably be q.iickly disposed of. The present loan partaking of the uaturo of a lottery, subscriptions cannot be invited for it here, but it is possible that a portion of the Loads may hereafter bud their way into the London market. The British and Californian Banking Company have made a call of 21. 10s. per share, payable on the 2.5 th January. The preparations for Thursday's settlement in shares and foreign stocks showed yesterday, in most cases, an adequate supply of floating stock, but without pressure. Except in special cases, the rates of "continuation " were moderate. The " continuation " on London and North Western stock has declined somewhat, the dealers having apparently pressed salmi of it, against purcha , es of the new issue. The rate on Lancashire and York shire stuck has diminished, in consequence of the unsatisfactory traffic of this line having latterly induced a number of speculative sales. On Great Western stock the terms were about the same as last time. The heaviest rate was paid on Midland. The following may be taken as showing the average rates of "continuation" until the middle of cue day ; but in the afternoon they were easier as re gards London and North Western, Great Western, and Lancashire and Yorkshire, but increa.sel cme what on South Eastern.

MA ItIE-L E.—(THIS DAY.) Scarcely any English wheat was received fresh up to our musket to-day. The show of samples was, therefore. limited. The attendance of millers was small, and the demand for both red and white qualities was in a very inactive state, at Monday's currency. The chow of foreign wheat was moderately extensive. Badly fine parcels supported former terms, with a fair demand. Otherwise the trade wee heavy, at barely late aide. In floating cargoes of grain the transactions were on a limited scale. Prices, however, were mostly supported. Ws were well supplied with both English and foreign bowler, in which very little was doing, at ls. per quarter lees money. Malt was in good supply, and heavy request, at barely stationary prices. The show of oats was only moderate. On the whole trade was firm, at extreme quotations. Beans were a doll inquiry, but not cheaper. The sale for pees was heavy, and grey qualities were offering on rather lower terms. M Both English y and foreign flour me t a dull inquiry, at onday's . Linseed and cakes were firm in price. Rapeeeed ruled steady. In other seeds, very little was doing. 1.1.3t1t/CNT NUM MUM. Per 44r. WNW. s. s.

Fitt LADDERS ON THIC THAMES. Two fish ladders have been ended by the Thames Angling Press/vs- Lion Society on the weirs situated in that part of the Thames over which they have jurisdiction . The first is at Moslem weir, close to Hampton Court bridge, and the de sign for it was lakes from that at the Galway fishery in Ire land, the property of the Messrs. Ashworth. The second ladder is at Teddiagtou-weir, and has, at the suggestion of Mr. Ifecuall, bees made somewhat larger than that at Moulsey. " The object of these ladders," writes Mr. Rockland, " is to allow the white fish which naturally drop down the stream after spawning, or are washed down by the floods, to return to the upper waters; and now that these ladders are erected, not only will toes of parent fish escape de struction, but will carry with them their eggs, thus stocking the river with • pleetiful supply of young fish, which in course of time will afford sport for the public ; sod this not only for the rich Angler who me afford the hire of a punt, Sc., but for the poor man who when machos from the bank gets • draught of pure oxygen, which does him more good than a glaze of gin without the • ox,' to ssy nothing of the fish he 411k11111 hornets triumph as a proof of his skill. The bidders will also assist the kippers* or River Lampreys (p.f,m.v70,, 0 ...0161,41 to get up to the upper waters to spawn. TheM fish are sold tom' fishermen fur bait. The number of lampreys this year, from some came unknown, has fallen off considerably. " A New Donoe.—On Friday night, about 6 o'clock, I was walking near Oment-gardea, when • man came up to nie and, promoting • small piece of paper, asked me if I could tell where that we'. I concluded that he wished me to tell him what I thought was an 'Oars= on the paver. While trying to make out this address by the aid of the gaslight, I thought I felt motor thing touch my waistcoat pocket, sod looking down, I saw my watchehain dangling loose, whereupon I immediately knocked the inquirer down, and, seizing him by the throat, demanded my watch. This was at once restored to me, and the fellow escaped, unluckily.—Comespoodent of the Tu na, THE MORMON TEMPLE AT lITAIL—That which strikes every observer of the temple is the very remarkable solidity of the stone work. It appears to be laid there to remain a thousand years, 'furnishing an unyielding support to the immense building that is to rest upon it. The foundation is deep, the stones large, well *elected, properly jointed with innumerable arches. upright and reversed. The stones comprising this foundation are large, square blocks of (ratite, brought fifteen miles, and it is of similar stone that the eetire structure is to be built. It coven a large space, say two hundred by one hundred feet. I sew as outside view of the upper portion. The style of architecture in somewhat novel. The front view shows three towers, the oentre more elevated than those at the Bide. The rear end presents • view of three towers also, the side walls being strengthened with powerful abutments world with pinnacle.—S4 Louie Republica*.
