There is not the slightest symptom of revival of business in the Stock Exchange. The general tone of the stock markets is rather flat, notwithstanding the favourable tendency of the Bank accounts. Consols have declined j per cent. The share mar kets are equally dull, with little change in prices. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 68fr. 20c., being sc. better than yesterday. Consols are officially marked 92, 911, and 91i for money, and 921 and 1 for the account. The present quotations are 911 to 1 for money, and 92/ " sellers," for the 10th of April. The official business report is as follows:—lndia Stock, 221, 222 ; ditto Five per Cent. Stock, 1001; ditto Four per Cent. Debentures, 1859, 951 ; Exchequer Bills, March, 75., 2s. dis. ; ditto, June, 7s. die. The transactions in the foreign stock market have been upon a limited scale. The Turkish Loan of 1854 remains quoted 74i to 75, and that of 1858, 544 to 55, ex div. Mexican Bonds, however, are rather fiat, and are marked 24! ; Spanish Deferred Three per Cents. are in better demand. Sales are recorded as follows:—Mexican Three per Cents., for account, 241; Russian Five per Ceuta., 102, 1011 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 911; Sardinian Five per Cents., 82/ ; Spanish New Deferred Throe per Cents., 41k, ; Turkish Six per Cents., 1854, for account, 741 ; ditto Six per Cents., 1858, 544, ex div. ; ditto for account, 541, ex div.; ditto Guaranteed Four per Cents., 100. The steamer America, which sailed to-day for the United States, took 86,7001. in specie. HALF-PAST 2 o'Ct.oex. Consols show no change compared with the prices current at 2 o'clock, being quoted 811 to k for money, and 92k "sellers," for the account. As was anticipated, from the extent to which applications were postponed from an earlier period of the week, the demand in the discount market yesterday was rather active. fib to 7 per cent. were the general terms for good bills. At the Bank there was a fair but not preening demand. Tight ness is usually experienced during the last few days of the quarter, owing to the large absorption of money in revenue payments. In the Stock Exchange there was an active de mand for money, and 6to 7 per cent. was paid for short loans on English government securities. - - About 20,000/. in gold was bought by the Bank yesterday. The Pera, from Alexandria, has brought 42,8731., nearly all Australian gold. The private advioes received yesterday from America refer in somewhat more hopeful terms to political prospects. The exchange at New York was quoted 106. There was not much alteration in the Continental exchanges yesterday afternoon, but the tendency was again rather unfavourable. Subjoined is our usual list: Amsterdam, 3 months, 12.1 to l ditto 3 days, 11.19 to 12; Rotterdam, 3 months, 12.1 to ; ; Antwerp, 3 months, 25.65 to 70 ; Hamburg, ms. liana., 3 months, 13.9 to ; Paris, 3 days, 25.35 to 45 ; ditto, 3 months, 25.70 to 5 ; Frankfort-on-the-Maine, 3 months, 1191 to 1 ; Petersburg (per rouble), 3 months, 33i to I ; Vienna, eff. flo., 3 months, 15.35 to 45 ; Triode, eft flo., 3 months, 15.35 to 45; Madrid, 3 months, 481 to 1 ; Cadiz, 3 months, 481 to 1 ; Leghorn, 3 months, 25.95 to 25.05 ; Genoa, 3 months, 25. to 90 ; Milan, 3 mouths, 25.85 to 90 ; Naples, 3 menthe, 381 to 391; Palermo, 3 months, 117 to ; Messina, 3 months, 117 to ; :Lisbon, 90 days, 52 1 to I ; Oporto, 90 days, 521 to 53. A painful impression was produced in the Stock Exchange yesterday by the announcement of the failure of an old member, Mr. Henry Le Mare. The defaulter hasobtainedfromvarious membersloansto the extent of about 150001. , of which 10,000/. or 11 , 0001. is stated to be wholly unsecured, the money having been borrowed merely upon his I 0 U. The sensation produced by the event in the Stock Exchange is the greater, because there are few instances on record in which members of standing have been known to abuse personal confi dence. There is no evidence at present that the money has been lost in speculations. A rigid in quiry will, of course, be instituted. A large amount of Greek bills fell due yesterday, and were met with punctuality. The suspension is announced of Mr. Joseph Bull, of Ravensdale Iron Works, Newcastle-trader-Lyrae. The amount of the liabilities is not known. The following circular has been issued by the Red Sea and India Telegraph Company 62, /11eingiitentrest, larch 1861. Sir,-1 am instructed to inform you that the bill intzo duced by the government to remove the impediment to the payment of the dividend on the shares of this company, has been read a third time in the House of Lord; and only awaits the royal anent. The directors, therefore, hope in a few days to be in a portion to issue the warrants for the over-due dividend, w hi ch will be addressed to the share holders whose MOM were on the rester on the 31st Jan. last, the day on which the dividend fell do.. Theselect com mittee of the House of Commons have thought 6t to con fine the bill to the simple object of declaring that the guarantee is not contingent on the line being in working order, and have not otherwise interfered with the con tract. The board feel it light to add that they have throughout been advised that there was no doubt of the effect of the contract on this point, but it was obvi ously not the policy of the company to interfere with a proceed ing which the government considered usesseary to enable them to pay the dividand.—l have the honour to be, he., C. L. Pm, Bsaetary. It is satisfactory to remark that, after all the suspense which they have undergone, the share holders in this undertaking now see it established beyond dispute as possessing a government guaran tee for 48 years, despite the failure of the cable. It is much to be regretted, in the interest of the public credit, that the character of the guarantee should ever have been called in question, for it was clearly understood from the first that the capital could only be raised by government undertaking the entire responsibility of the enterprise. The sub scribers embarked in the concern in the belief that they were taking a government security, free from risk, and, although the validity of the guarantee is now formally re-endorsed, the injury inflicted is best shown in the fact that this per cent. stock, guaranteed by government, staWs now at about er cent, discount in the market, though the shares carry 9s. of accrued and over-due interest. The Caledonian Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 9971. The return of the Bank of England for the week ending Wednesday, March 20, compared with that for the previous week, shows the following changes : Circulation issue Circulation active Public deposits 8,224,094 Increase, 1,585,210 Other deposits 11,452,254 Decreaes :29,430 Government securities in —---- ---- banking department - - 10,599,072 Increase 1,119,343 Othersecurities in liaahing department Coin and bullion in both departments 12,701,425 Increase 372,251 Seven day and other bile 576,812 Increase 7,606 The Rest Notes in reserve Total reserve (notes& coin) in banking department 8,325,210 .

The large in crease in the Government Securities must be attri buted to some transactions between the Bank and government.
