Two uVwcit. The stock markets continue to suffer from the dulneri of business, and from the prevailing suspense on the question of peace or war. The funds have again declined s per cent., and were even, at one period of the morning, lower than they closed yesterday. In the other markets prices continue to droop, though the reduction is cot of much importance. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Rea . ter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rcntes opened at 67fr. 20c., showing no change. Consols are officially marked 90„, 7 , 2, and g, ex idly, fur money, and 90g and k for the account. The present quotations are 94 to 2 fur cash, and 9011 to for the account. The official business report is as follows :—.Bank Stock, 234 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 901, 90; New Three per Cents., 90, -4 ; India Five per Cent. Stock, 1032, 104, ex div. ; ditto for account, 1031 ex div. ; ditto Bonds, 15a., 125., prem. ; ditto Four per Cent. Debentures, 1864, 98i, h ; ditto 1839, 98i, ; Exchequer Bills, 10a. prem. Foreign stocks are likewise rather fat. The Turkish Loan of .1854 remains quoted 77 to 78, while that of 1858 has declined 1 per oent., being now called 67 to 68. Mexican Bonds are again weaker, and are last marked 263. Sales are recorded as follows :—Dutch Font per Cent. Certificates, 1001 ; Italian Five per Cents., 64, (exchange, 25fr.); Mexican Three per Cents., for account, 27, 1, 961 ; Portuguese Three per Cents., 1853, for account, 47 ; Russian Four-and a-Half per Cents., 911, ; Spanish Three per Cents., for account, 51}; ditto New Deferred Three per Cents., 421 ; the Committee's Certifi cates, 51, 1 ; Turkish Six per Cents., 1854, for account, 771, 77 ; ditto Six per Cents., 1868, fur account, 671. It is inferred from to-day's advises that the reply of the American government to tbo demands despatched from this country will not bo received o early as has been expected. The Europa, which conveyed the Queen's messenger who had charge of them did not pass Cape Race until the 12th inst., and it is mentioned that she did not communicate with the electric telegraph at that point. As she would probably not arrive at Boston until the 16th, the government messenger could not reach Washing ton before the 18th or 19th. The impression hitherto entertained, that the Africa, due here next Monday, will bring the answer of the Federal cabinet, will therefore prove erroneous, for as her date of sailing from New York is the 18th, she would probably leave that port before the British demands could be placed in the hands of the American government It is possible that the answer may come by the packet of the middle of next week, but should the American government take a fell week for con sideration before replying, it could not arrive before next Monday week, the 6th of January. The delay may prove to be in the interest of peace, as there is every probability of the important despatch from the French government, dated the 3rd inst., being placed in the hands of the American ministers before they commit themselves to an answer. The preparations for the close of the year cause the discount market to be tight, and not much business is done below 3 per cent. The d. mond at the Beak of England, however, was yesterday only moderate, and much below what is usually wit nessed at this period of the year. Great ease is looked for next month. The fortnightly settlement in shares and foreign stocks will commence to-morrow (" continuation day") and terminate on Tuesday. ere were no bullion operations at the Bank yesterday. The Italian government have determined to lay at once a submarine telegraphic cable from Trapani or Marsala to Cape Carbonate, in the Island of Sardinia, a distance of about 200 mile.. This will obviate the immunity of messages from Alexandria and Malta for this country being despatched ei4 Naples, Rome, Turin, &c. Much time will be saved. A general meeting of the Ocean Marine In surance Company is called for the 27th Jan. The register of transfers will be shut from the 13th until after the meeting. The call of 5 dollars per share mentioned the other day as having been made on Illinois Central Railroad shares, is to be paid by the 20th Jan. A general meethui of shareholders in the Bank of Loudon is called for the 15th Jau. The half-yearly meeting of the London ar.d Greenwich Railway Company is convened for the 14th Jan., when a dividend of 11. 7s.

A petition for the winding up of the Protector Mutual Life Assurance Company is expected to be heard before Vice-Chancellor Sir R. T. Kiudersley on the 17th January. With reference to the market for AmeritaL se curities, Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite reports as fu:- lows : The business in London io Amerima securities has been only to a moderate extent since our last, any large opera tions being kept in check by the uncertainty which still exists as to the decision the government at Washington may arrive at. The market has, however, assumed rather a firmer tone, Erie, Illinois Central, and New York Cen tral shares closing I per cent. 6k:her than this day week.

THE WEATHER IN CANADA.—On Monday, the 9th lust., our letters from Quebec and Montreal represent the weather to be unusually mild, and the river as free from ice as in Midsummer. West of Toronto the summer seemed still to be lingering, as honeysuckles and roses were still being plucked in the neighbourhood of Hamilton and London. This is gladsome news, as by it we are assured of the greater probabilities of the lending of the transports Dow on their way to the St. Lawrence as far up as Itiviere do Loup, instead of Bic.—Canadian Netts.

ALARMING ALI 'I DENT ON THE BIRMINGHAM CANAL—During the night of Monday last, ii most serious accident recurred on the Park Heed branch of the Bir mingham Caned, about a mile from Dudley. At the spot where the accident happened Revere' thick coalpits are being worked by Messrs. Brettle and Cartwright. The mining operations have extended entirely under this branch of the canal, but from the Datum of the supports used to prop up the worked.out portions of the pit, no danger was anticipated. During the night of Monday, however, a fearful crash was hoard by some workmen at Messrs. Swindell's furnaces, and upon hastening to the beaks of the canal they at once saw that the undermined portion had given way. The canal was entirely drained of water for a considerable distance, a large chasm, some yards deep, had opened a passage through which the water had passed into the pit. Such had been the (owe of the rush of water, that one boat, of about AI tons beriberi, laden with limestone, wan broken right io two ; an iron boat, of a similar •17.43, was firmly embedded in ace of the open logs of the chasm, and was a pal deal twisted. Fortu• nately, at the time of the disaster, no work was being carried on in the pita adjoining the natal. DARING &MERRY OP £ll6 AT STALYBRIDGE.— On Christmaseve a most daring robbery was committed at the Hare and Hounds. Gresvenor.street, Stelybeidge. Between six and seven o'clo.k, an apparently respectable man entered the kitchen. used alan as a drinking room, and after calling for and obtaining a glass of ale. began to converse on the lamentable lose the nation had sus tained in the death of the late Prince Consort. After a while he left the house, but soon returned. It wan then observed that a man looked into the kitchen and then retired, pulling the door leading iato the lobby after bim. In a short time this man again looked into the kitchen, and almost immediately &Remade the first man drank up his ale and left the house. In about twenty minutes afterwards, Mrs. Worrell, the landlady, went to her bed room, when she found that the doors of the cupboard where she kept her money. had been forced open, and that 1011. tta. 44. had been takes away. It was also found that a purse had also been taken from a tin box, which etiolated a 101. sod a note, but the thief bad missed about 20s. in silver, which was at the bottom of this box. It seems that two young women are on a visit to the daughter of Mrs. WorraU, and that while one of them was upstairs, about the time of the robbery, a man looked into the bedroom, but it was dark and she did not recognise him, and took no notice, thinking it was one of the family. The family now recollect that on the previous Wednesday a man came and had a glass of ale, for which he tendered a half sovereign. A niece of Mrs. Worrell's was going out for change when she met her aunt, who took the coin, and went upstairs to change it. When she went up, the man came out of the kitchen and closely watched her movements. There can he little doubt the robbery was then planned. The pdioe are using every exertion to apprehend the thief or thieves. —AI a &aster Guardian. 11 I / 4 #i." - re.
