Two o'Owcs. The funds to-day are decidedly heavy. A fall of i per cent. has taken place. The stringency of the money market and the less settled aspect of foreign politics exercise a depressing influence. The usual telegrams from the Paris Bourse have not yet come to hand. Consols Are officially marked 921 and 921 ex div., for the 10th of January. The present quotation is 921 to 1. The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cents.

A meeting has been held to-day of the creditors of Mr. Henry Bateman, timber merchant, of Old Broad-street, who recently stopped payment. The liabilities amount to 55,4141. and the assets to 40,7061. Up to the time of our report no result had been arrived at, ques tions in connexion with the presumed partnership between Mr. Bateman and Mr. Browning being debated. The steamer Glasgow, which sailed for the United States to-day, took 83,4431. in specie, and the Nova Scotian, 5001. At Vienna on Monday the Five per Cent. Me tallies fell per cent. The Roxburgh Castle, with 107,0001. in gold, has now been Au stralian at sea 71 days, and the steamer Great Britain, with 474,0001., 63 days.

' This caution applies to most cases of the kind, but particularly to the one which is the object of the pending investigation. In these matters perfect fairness is an absolute necessity. There is great room to question the judgment of three persons who, wise after the event, cast stones at every merchant or banker with whom the bankrupts had any trading transactions. It would, we think, be more judicious to encourage the men who, at the risk of becoming the butt of vulgar ridicule, have the courage to step forward, and volunteer, for the public instruction, information as to the manner in which they were deceived. This is the course which has been pur sued by the Bank of London, amongst other esta blishments, and it is one to be applauded. We learn from the evidence of witnesses entitled to at least equal credit with Mr. Lawrence that the slang terms used by the bankrupt in his epistolary and other communications were of his own peculiar creation. The orthodox logy of modern commerce is already so roe le ire e t c liat it is perhaps of some little importance to acquaint distant observers that terms suitable to Petticoat-lane do not yet pace current in high fivan alai circles in the City of London. We understand that government are now in communication with the Red Sea and India Tele graph Company, in order to ascertain the com pany's views with regard to the best means of re lestabliahing the telegraphic communication with India.
