The wet boisterous weather is not without in. fluence to-day upon the stock markets, which are depressed. The funds show a fresh decline of i per cent. The chief. fall is in English rail way stocks, particularly those of the manufacturing lines. Operations for a fall are entered into, from a belief that the bad weather will affect passenger traffic. At Paris thia morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Renton opened at 68fr. 20e., being sc. lower than yesterday. Congola are officially marked 93, 1, awl 921, for money, and 931 and 93 for the account. The present quotation is 921 to 93, both for money and Thursday's settlement. The official business report is as follows :—Bank Stock, 229, 230 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 914, 4 ; New Three per Cents., 914, 4 ; India Stock, 225 ; ditto Five per Cent. Stock, 1054, 1041, 105/ ; ditto Four per Cent. Debentures, 1863. 961 ; ditto, 1864, 981 ; Five-and-a-Half per Cent. " enfaced " rupee paper, 1044 ; Exchequer Bills, June, 175., 16s. prem. Turkish Bonds have declined 4 per cent. to-day ; tke loan of 1854 is quoted 794 to f, and that of 1858, 874 to I. Buenos Ayres Six per Cents. are marked 904, being still in demand. Yesterday's rise in Venezuela Bonds is not fully supported. Mexican are rather firmer than at the close yesterday, being last marked 274. Sales are recorded as follows :—Buenos Ayres Six per Cents., for account, 901; Belgian Four-and-a- Half per Cents., 971! (exchange 25fr.) ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 641 ex div. (exchange 128.) ; Mexican Three per Cents., 271 ; ditto, for account, 271, 4 ; New Granada Two per Cents., 201 ; Portuguese Three per Cents., 1853, for account, 471; Russian Four aud-a-Half per Cents., 921 ; ditto Three per Conte., 1859, 594, ex div. ; Spanish Three per Cents., for account, 504, ; ditto Passive, 17 ; the Committee's Certificates, 6, 1 ; Turkish Six per Cents., 1854, for account, 794 ; ditto Six per Cents., 1868, for account, 671, 4, 4 ; Venezuela Three per Ceuta., for account, 224, 22. Yesterday being the 4th of the month, there was a good deal of business in the discount market. The &UMW; both in Lombard-street and at the Bank of England, was to a fair extent. The best bills continue to be taken at 21 to 21 per cent., or 4 to , 1 below the Bank rate. In the Consol market the rate for loans was about 2 per cent. The 82,0001. in gold by the Mexican packet is expected to be taken to the Bank after being refined. The bar silver and Mexican dollar's by the last packet were sold yesterday—the former at be. Old. per ounce, and the latter at 4s. no., showing a rise of id in each case. The advance is caused by the increased demand for Bombay, whither the present supplies will be sent. The dollars will be melted into bars. The Liverpool cotton market yesterday was dull with sales limited to 4,000 bales. The directors of the Bank of Turkey have given notice that they are now ready to return the SI. per share " to such shareholders as are un willing to wait the result of negotiations." The success of the agitation for the return of the de posit is thus complete. By advises received by this mail from India it appears that the Oriental Inland Steam Company's new steamer Indus had just been launched at Kur rachee, and by the departure of next mail was ex pected to be plying on the Indus. It is anticipated that this vessel will have a speed of 20 miles an hour. Another steamer belonging to the same company, and of equal speed, has arrived safely in Calcutta, and is expected to be plying on the Ganges by the end of the year. The steamer Jumna has also ar rived in Calcutta. This is by far the must powerful steamer ever constructed to navigate the Indian rivers, except her consort the Ganges, belonging to the same company, the arrival of which in Calcutta was daily expected. The train of barges which will be towed by the Jumna will accommodate 3,000 measurement tons of cargo under hatches, and such vessels will consequently be able to carry cotton and other bulky goods with profit at a low rate of freight. The South Eastern Railway traffic return shows this week a decrease of 2,2941., which is probably owing, in no small degree, to the reduced scale of fares ; and the Brighton a decrease of 4471. Complaints are made of the extraordinary delay in the announcement of a settling day in the shares of the Oriental and General Marine Insurance Com pany. The oompany has commenced business, yet no settlement has yet taken place in its shares. Mr. J. H. Mackenzie, of Beddington, Surrey, and the Temple, has been added to the direction of the London and Lancashire Fire Insurance Company. The half-yearly meeting of the Madras Railway Company is called for the 22nd inst. A general meeting of the Eastern Bengal Rail way Company is called for the 29th instant, when it will be proposed to consolidate the paid-up shares into stock. An extraordinary meeting of the "Land and House Property Investment Company (Limited)" is called for the 11th inst., to consider a resolution for • " voluntary winding up." The creditors and shareholders of the concern known as the "Alliance (France and England) Bank" are required to send in their claims to the liquidators in Paris. The statement from Toronto, respecting the appli cation made to the courts for the appointment of a receiver and manager of the Grand Trunk Railway, has not had any effect upon the price of this com pany's securities. With regard to the commercial condition of the country generally, we fi nd the following remarks in the circular of Messrs. Joseph Travers and Sons Experienced merchanta supreme great confidence in the commercial sounders of the country at the present moment. The belief that the exists ng stock of cotton—coupled with the quantity that may yet Fe expected from India, and the numerous small parcels that seem likely to arrive from hitherto unlooked-for quarters, will suffice to keep the Lancashire population in moderate employment—steadily increases, while there is every sign that the demand for fabrics composed of other staples, such as wool, flax, hair, jute, Ice. will cause great activity in those branches of manufacture at moat remunerative tonne. The latest sta tistical retirees seem also to establish that the country is rich in nearly all kinds of imported produce. This is partly shoes by the above account of the steam held in the Cus toms bonded warehouses of the United Kingdom ; and such further figures as sea be obtained prove that we hold like wise a highly satidactory amount of those various &Weiss which are sot liable to duty, and of which, therefore, the Customs take no account. Although the consumption has bees comparatively large, the importations throughout the whole of the current year have, in a majority of tustanoes, been of still greater comparative magnitude. This has been the ease especially in timber, guano, hemp, jute, hair, tar, copper, and other metals, quicksilver, salted provisions, rice, silk mannfacturse, some kinds of leather manufactures, and a variety of other articles ; and SS the past month has wit nessed a rather general rise of prices, the position of holders I must to favourable. MONDAY Evwxu. Consols, which closed on Saturday at 934, "sellers," for money and next Thursday's settle ment, opened this morning at 934 to and closed flat at 93 to 4. For the sth Dec. the last price was 93 3-16 to 5-16. The official business report is as follows :—Thres per Cent.

The March Exchequer Bills were firm at ss. to 88. prem., and the June at He. to 17e. prem., showing, in the latter instance, a fresh improvement of is. India Bowls were dealt in at 12s. to 15s. pram. . The transactions in foreign stocks were rather numerous. The principal feature was a fall of I per cent. in Mexican Bonds, owing to some large realisations. In the market for bank shares the principal inquiries were for Bank of London and Bank of Turkey. London and Westminster Bank were apoted rather lower. Ottoman Bank were also flat. Royal Mail Steam were somewhat cheaper, whilst Oriental Usu.' Steam were inquired for. The closing quotations for shares in new under takings to-day were as follows :—Ocean Marine Insurance, 42 to 5 prem. ; Thames and Mer.ey Marine, 1 1-16 to 1 3.16 prem. ; Universal Marine Insurance, 14 to 14 dia. ; London and Provincial Marine, 4to die. ; Commercial Union Fire, die. to par ; Mercantile Fire, 5-16 to prem.

The compel gave great credit to Sir Henry Mugvyridge for hi. hon our in coming forward yeetirshil and heckling up the acts of his committee. to to this can, there was so doubt it was a pilot balloon sent up to try Admire ere. The great question would be %land'. whittler, sad Adair rimmed to rely on the words ...I au Misality—" An right, old fellow ; gn I. work." W.. 11, Mr. Arland had been promised fifty guinea', and that .an. would be pad to hiss at any time. When his Honour one to rum op, the jury would see the discrepancy between the evidence of Aeland and that of hi. nephew ; and here Mr. Adana had given his evidence fairly enough.

Why Arland himself complained of the lines of time in core .luenes of the committee adjourning their decisi o n fr o m Saturday until More Lie. The fact was .teland had no authority. Knowing that he had so authority to go to any expense, .tclanil encage.l the plaintiff on Saturday, although even then the matter was held in abeyance, even as to him own eo4.l4ernent ; and that was borne out by Aclana's own testimony. If Longdon knew what wee an the card put in, then defendant was out of court, but he (the learned ionn.el) would show that he dial aid. It was not likely Mr. would have coutented himself without the card being ,initiate.l. The case on the port of Sir Henry Mug ;;eralge lea. this—that the committee exprtmly told Adana not to incur any expense without the sanction of the committee. Ths would be borne out by more than three ..r four wills...me and the committee were ignorant .1 the engagement:of the plaintiffs in these cases. Now Arland had not acted in a very ingeonons manner in thi. case, and it would be 'worn that fifty guineas was all that was agree lto be paid. The committee did not want Arland to be engaged on the other gide, but, certainly, be was never engaged as the agent of the committee. But the fact we.. that Arland was never authorised to go to any 011.01.10, sad thi. would be Lorne out by the evidence. The larsrl conned then proceeded to call his witness... The first wittier. was I ieorge Webb, who mid he was pre sent at the find interview between Achied sod the cont. mates on Saturday, anal also on Monday at the Cantle. On Saturday so terms were agreed to, but on Monday Arland was offered Kalman ran advisee. bat not as an agent. In crow-examinetioa by Mr. Youlf, he .aid that the com mittee informed Arland that the outlying districts were being canvassed by • or maned Coop er. It was at all events a preparation for a canvass after the polling had rotorneetcl, arid by two venoms only. Witness imagthed they had been paid, bat they have sent in no accounts. The committee, se • committee, have ma paid them. Mr. Adana informed the committee that he had Word Western Wood. election for the City. Mr. Howdenbaid four men would beenough to CUMIN the City.

RICPRISENTATION OF CARLIN:La—Mr. Edward James, Q.C., of the Northern Circuit, bee hued an address to the electors of Carlisle, in which he states that when he received intelligence of the death of Sir James Graham, he at once resolved, acting on the advice of several of his friends, to become a candidate for the vacant seat. Respect for the memory of the distinguished baronet, and for the feelings of his relatives and friends, induced him to defer addressing the electors till the earth had closed over the remains of Sir James. But he now learns he hu been anticipated, and to prevent even an ap pearance of division in the liberal party he will abbtant from offering himself as a candidate. Should, however, another opportunity arise, he will offer his services. The Carlisle Journal says:—" Mr. Edmund Potter has been in troduced to several of the leading members of the liberal party in (Arline, and we are glad to say has been received with a cordiality that is significant of enemas on the polling day. No formal canvass was commenced, however, need 7'hureday. The toriee, on the other hand, have been actively canvass* for signatures to the requisition to Mr. W. N. Hodgson since Saturday." It appears trees the same paper that the temperance party of Carlisle have pledged to vote for the candidate "who will go farthest in Lvov of the Alliance." _ EXTHNSION OF THE ELICTOZAL FRANCHISE.— The Glasgow Council of United Tends; representing the trades of shoemakers, bakers, dyers, removal.

DEATHS ON RAILWAYB.—A very painful toting has been caused in commercial circles in Newcastle by a 0 melaacholy sod fatal accident which occurred to Mr. John Arundel., cashier to Maws. Lambton and Co.'s Bank. Mr. Arundel., whose wife was staying at Tynemoutb, is precarious health, was waiting at the Manors station, ewcastle, for the 0 o'clock train down to that place. As the train approached the station and was about to come to a stand, the unfortunate gentleman was observed ' to raise his heeds above his body, as if seized with a fit. Almost immediately afterwards he staggered forward, and fell from the platform between two carriages. The result was that the head of the poor gentleman was all but severed from his body, and in this condition he was re moved to the goods station, life being c y.thiet. The de ceased gentleman was only 33 years of age.

A YOUNG LADY BURNT TO DEATH.•—A shock lag accident occurred at Earladon, near Coventry, on Saturday night, at the house of Mr. Hawkins, late an officer of excise, but now superammated.

She shortly afterwards went to her bedroom, and bayi ng undressed herself, accidentally caught the sleeve of her night-dress in the candle. It ignited, and by some means the fire communicated with the bedclothes. The y oung lady rushed terror-stricken into her parents' bedroom, where her father succeeded in extinguishing the flames, by which she bad become enveloped, though not until sh e was most seriously burnt. tec t the aid of the neighbours the fire in the bedroom was *ly put out, and Dr. Knott, of Coventry, was sent for wit out delay, but merlins] skill availed nothing, the young lady expiring on the following (Sunday) morning. We nederstand that in putting out the Are the band and arms of Yr. Hawkins were badly burnt.— Binning/rata Peet. WHOLIDIALI FRAUDS. —On Monday morning Mr. Robert Wright, • rateeollector for the Nottingham Union, was brought before Mr. R. Wildman. the Recorder. at the quarter sessions, charged with embezzling monies, Vie pro perty of the Nottingham Board of Guardians. Mr. tiistowe prosseated ; the prisoner was undefended. Wright has for a considerable time past been defrauding the ratepayen in a most ingenious manner. He had here ch.ryitig the rate payers& greater amount than was due upon the rate granted, and he bad also put down in the rate-book nuns as means which had been paid. The Recorder said the ameent of the frauds (over 30)/.) showed that the prisoner's aunts had not been properly inveAigatoil by the overseers ; but this was no excuse for the prisoner's dishonesty, and he would be sentenced to three veers penal servitude. This is the third serious teas of fraud toransaitted by Nottingham rate collectors. 1 1 4 I r , i i' i 1 I i I 0 i 4 10 1 ' 1 1 ' I' f • , i .. 1 , i Ili, ii 1, ! il 1 I li ' I . , , si . ,t I the •1..1 114 40.1 the thn lhop I. ta) ■BL bra.. the heft- Faits N ii thAt that the met.
