Consols have not main tained their closing price, and Spanish have fallen upon the receipt of unfavourable news from that country relative to the election of the Duke of Genoa. American Securities have become inactive, and almost a general decline has taken place in the Railway market. Consols are now at 924 1 to 92 for money; ditto, for Ac.!ount, 92/ ; Three per Cent.

In Bank Shares London Joint-Stock are 103 higher, at 32 to 33, but Chartered Mercantile shows a decline of 10, at 304 to 311. London and West minster is quiet at 581 to 594 ; Oriental, 41 to 42; Uaion of London, 374 to 381 ; Alliance, 124 to 134; Agra (A), 104 to 11. Imperial Ottoman is in re quest at 24 to 24 prem.

The June Exchequer-bills, now bearing 3 per cent., are reduced to 24 for the next six months. The March bills were reduced in September last, and now bear 21 per cent. There were no gold operations at the Bank yes terday. The subscription list for the £2,500,000 Three and-a-Half per Cent. consolidated stock of the Metropolitan Board of Works, at 941, close to-day. It appears that the amount outstanding is now only about £348,000. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Pera may be expected any time after Friday, with £540,000 in Australian gold. Of this amount a portion may possibly be taken to the Bank. Of the tenders for £387,500 in bills on India at the Bank of England the amount allotted was—to Calcutta, £347,300, and to Madras, £40,200. The minimum price was fixed as before at ls. 11d. on Calcutta and Madras, and tenders on both pre sidencies at Is. llid. will receive about 17 per cent., those above in full. These results show a further diminution in the demand for means of remittance to the East. The directors of the Bank of British North Ame rica have declared the customary half-yearly divi dend at the rate of 6 per cent. pzr annum. The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows, this week, an increase of £2,539 over last year; and the Midland an increase of £5,933.

Carnegie on the Danube. The report of the Bank of British North America, to be presented on the 7th inst., recommends the usual half-yearly dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, and states that the directors have re ceived the Queen's warrant extending the privileges of the charter to the Ist June, 1881. The Manchester papers mention two additional small failures—Messrs Greenwood and Slater, ma nufacturers, Burnley, with liabilities of £2,000, and Mr. William Penny, gold thread and cotton-heald yarn manufacturer, of Leyland, whose liabilities are variously estimated. At the annual meeting of the Scottish Union Insurance Company at Edinburgh the new life poli cies for the year were stated to have been 889, insur ing £523,243, yielding in new premiums £14,136. It was also stated that there was a considerable surplus derived from the fire department, and that the invested funds now amount to upwards of 11,150,000. BRITIIIIL Ir IMPS —T WO o'ol.o UK.

The sloop Francis Mary Phillip, of Inverkeith iug, bound to London]with a cargo of potatoes, &c., has been wrecked on the rocks at Redcar (says John Coulson, Esq., the local agent for Lloyd's.) The lifeboats went off in a heavy sea, and the Burton-on-Trent boat of the National Lifeboat Institution, has happily been the means of saving the shipwrecked crew of three men. CAISTER, near Great Yarmouth, Wednesday. A very noble and great service has been per formed to-day by the Caister large lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution (says the Rev. G. W. Steward). This morning early the beacbmen, dur ing a strong wind from N.E., with squalls, saw what appeared to be a dismasted vessel at the back cf the Scroby Sands, with signals of distress in the rigging. They at once proceeded off to the Sands in the lifeboat (Birmingham), and found the upper part of a barque, which it afterwards seemed had struck on the Hasborough sands the previous night, this portion had broken away and drifted to the spot whele it was seen from the shore. It was little more than a raft, but had on it the whole of the crew (14 men) of the wrecked barque, which was named the Elsinore, of Elsinore. The poor fellows had been nine hours adrift on it in a terrible sea and in very cold weather. The difficulty of getting them off in the midst of the heavy sea was great, and the lifeboat was a good deal damaged, for on account off the ship's spars, &c., the boat could not approach the wreck from the leeward, and had to be taken to windward, and consequently the lifeboat was driven time after time with great violence against the wreck, from which the ships's bolts were projecting. However, after gallantly exerting themselves for nearly an hour, the crew of the lifeboat bad the great satisfaction of saving the whole of the shipwrecked sailors. None but resolute and experienced men could have accomplished this rescue, and they themselves began to fear the lifeboat would be knocked to pieces. The boat was subsequently towed into Yarmouth Harbour, and the rescued men lauded. The hull of the ship, which had been left behind, afterwards floated off the Sand. , NAVAL AND MILITARY INIELLIGENCL, On Wednesday next a detachment of non-com missioned officers and men belonging to the Royal Artillery will leave Woolwich for Portsmouth, to embark at the dockyard for conveyance to Malta and Gibraltar. The draught, which will be under the command of Second Captain T. C. Price, Royal Artillery, will comprise 63 non-commissioned officers and men, and two women, for Malta, to fill up vacancies in the 10th Brigade, and one officer, three men, two women, and three children for Gibraltar, to join the 15th Brigade. In addition to the above, three men belonging to the Royal Malta Fencible Artillery will leave Woolwich at the same time for Malta. _ _ _ Capt. V. D. Majendie, Royal Artillery, Assist.- Supt. Royal Laboratory, Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, took over the temporary superintendence of the department yesterday, vacant by the resignation of Col. E. M. Boxer, F. R.S., Royal Artillery. Yesterday Captain Ogilvy, 60th Rifles, assumed the duties of Brigade Major in the eastern district, vice Captain Leggett, 69th Foot, whose period of Staff service (five years) has expired. The fatal accident to a leading man of ship wrights in Chatham Dockyard, a few days ago, has been followed by another loss of life. Yester day afternoon Henry Brean, a rigger, was drowned. Brean and another man were in a boat by the dock yard, near the temporary pier or bridge which was used when the Monarch was being completed in the stream. Brean was pushing the boat from the pier towards a barge when he fell overboard, the boat going from under his feet. The water was deep, the tide: running strongly, and, despite his desperate struggles, he was swept away out of the reach of his comrade, who could not render imme diate aid with the boat as the rowlocks had not been "shipped." Several other boats, however, were quickly brought to the place, and every effort was made to recover the body with drags, but in vain. The deceased has left a widow and three children. THE ROYAL MILITARY ACADEMY. The following General Order has been promul ated by command of the Adjutant-General of the Force, Lord William Paulet : " Commanding officers will send in to this de partment, not later than the 15th proximo; the ap plications of such officers on full pay as feel them selves qualified for the situation of assistant in structor, at the Royal Military Academy, Wool wich, in surveying and topographical drawing : gi 1.

The band of twenty-one aeputies who have agreed upon the interpellation relative to the prorogation of the Chamber found itself doubled yesterday. At the close of the day's ,sitting forty-one members of the Left Centre assembled at the Grand Hotel. The subject under discussion was the choice of candidates for the presidency and vice-presidency of the Chamber. M. Schneider was chosen for the first, MM. Buffet, Daru, do Talhouet, and Grevy for the second. A number of the deputies of the Right wished to nominate M. Le Roux for the presidency, but the Minister of Commerce had resolved to share the fortunes of his colleagues to the last, and would not, therefore, accept a post which entails the resig nation of his office. M. Emile 011ivier was talked of, but very decidedly declined the proffered honour. The great object of the extreme Right was to keep M. Napoleon Daru out of the Vice-Presidency. M. Schneider, of whose elec tion there was no doubt from the first, was warmly cheered on taking his seat. _ . Little interest attached to the first sitting of the Senate. A speech from 31. llouher was looked for, but the Presi dent had no intention of relieving the public curiosity respecting his future policy, and contented himself with deciding the details of the election to the secretaryship. The public are so unaccustomed to take part in the sit tings at the Luxembourg, that they forget to find their way there, and even the gallery reserved for the press shewed an array of nearly empty benches. Political parties, so far as we can yet judge of the open ing days of the session, seem inclined to be somewhat in dependent of their leaders. It was remarked that M. de Forcade, in opposing the motion of M. Jules Favre received no better support from the Right than M. Raspail had received from the Left, when he demanded the im peachment of the Ministers. It appears that the Right are no more disposed to give an uncon ditional support to personal government than the Left are to encourage the extravagances of the Red Republi cans. This moderation on either side, however, offers no advantage to the tottering Cabinet. Despite M. 011ivier's conviction that a majority of 220 will be ready to support the Ministry which he contemplates forming at no distant date, he is daily losing ground, and so far from being able to give the Empire vigorous support, he is compromising his own reputation. The Liberti says that the diplomatic world has remarked the intimacy which exists between M. de Forcade la Roquette and Baron Werther, the Prussian Ambassador. The Patrie contradicts the report that M. de la Tour d'Auvergne will shortly retire, and declares that it is quite unfounded. No sooner is the Empress expected home than there is a talk of her visiting the United States. Passengers from New York have gone so far as to siy that her voyage has been definitely fixed upon, but nothing is said at the Tui leries on the subject. A meeting of Freethinkers was held at Belleville yester day, and the last arrangements were made with respect to the despatch of the delegates to the rival council at Naples for the Bth of December. According to the last accounts about a hundred delegates will leave France, including those that are sent from Paris. There have been great difficulties at Havre with respect to the construction of a new church, and fourteen of the municipal council have resigned. They have published a circular stating their reasons. They do not see the ne3essity for a new church, while there are already three or four in an unfinished state, waiting for the sums neces sary for their completion. A letter from Savoy st Ito that there are at present more than six feet of snow on the carriage -road over Mont Cenis, and that communication is carried on by sledges.

AT:Liana Qcl THE BUITISLI COLONIES, The conferenoe of gentlemen interested in the British colonies, adjourned from last week, was resumed on Wednesday at the City Terminus Hotel, Cannon-street, Mr. Youls in the chair. The debate on the policy of this country towards its colonies was resumed by ➢lr. Wilson, of the Melbourne Argus, who at the outset expressed a decided opinion that the colonial question should not be treated in any degree as a party question. It was not true, as had been alleged, that this conference had a strong bias in favour of New Zealand, although he could not avoid remarking that the condition of the colony should be taken as an example of the state of some other of our colonies. The gentlemen who had met to consider this subject were by no means opposing the general interests of the empire. A series of eight resolutions were submitted for the consideration of the meeting by Mr. Westgarth. They expressed the views of a number of colcnists, and amongst other statements averred that the colonies were a great commercial and social advantage to the present country; that the practical independence of a represen tative and responsible local Government, latterly conceded to each of the principal colonies, was not intended to weaken the connection with the Parent State; that under this system it was only equitable that the self governed colonies should defray their respective charges, provided that all claims and responsibilities attaching to the preceding rdjime had been first satisfactorily disposed of ; that in the case of Now Zealand, to which had been bequeathed by the preceding rejime a heritage of costly difficulties, the indiscriminate application of this system was impolitic and unjust; that the late correspondence of the Colonial Secretary on the New Zealand question was most unsatisfactory; that the Colonial Office was not now in consonance with our institutions generally, and therefore reconstruction was necessary in the direction of increased publicity and responsibility; and that it would be well for the Government to consider the means of a more active intervention in the matter of emigration which was of great national importance. FEZVIANISM IN THE SOUTH OF IRELAND. The Cork correspondent of a contemporary writes : Some hopeful signs are beginning to shew themselves through the gloom of Irish politics. There are indi cations of a reaction amongst the middle classes against the overhearing dominion of Fenian agitators and sympa thisers which wo have had to endure for some time past. In the town council on Monday, Alderman Daniel O'Sul livan, our famous ex-mayor, had a motion to vote £lOO out of the public funds for the families of the Fenian prisoners, and from the tenour of things lately, it was believed a few days ago that no one would venture to oppose the proposal, though it was admitted that the intended appropriation of the money was per fectly illegal. However, the result of the Tipperary election seems to have brought people to a sense of the danger of allowing these things to go by de fault any longer, and when Alderman O'Sullivan rose to move his resolution, he found the whole council against him. The motion did not find a seconder, but, on the contrary, met with strong and out spoken opposition from 11r. D. A. Nagle and other mem bers, who refused to appropriate public money to an illegal purpose. The alderman expressed great disgust at the unpatriotic spirit of the council. At the same meeting an amusing scene took place. A deputation waited on the council to request the removal of an unsightly hoarding in one of the principal thoroughfares in the City. It was generally admitted that the request was a reason able one ; but Mr. O'Sullivan, having ascertained that two or three of the deputation were Conservatives, rose and solemnly declared that the council should grant no "concession" to the Conservative party. He moved that the hoarding be not removed. The farce convulsed the assembly. An outrage significant of the murderous spirit with which Fenianism is inspiring the people is reported from the neighbourhood of Mallow. On Friday night the water bailiffs on the Blackwater noticed a party of fifteen men fishing for salmon at the opposite side of the river, it being now the close season. The bailiffs did not care to encounter so numerous a body, but one of them, for the purpose of alarming and driving off the poachers, discharged a pistol loaded with blank cartridge. The flash revealed the position of the man, and instantly a rifle shot was fired at him from the opposite side, with such true and deadly aim that the ball grazed his face, carrying away his upper lip and a portion of the gum. The unfortunate man fell into the river and was carried down the stream for semo distance before he was rescued by his companion. The poachers remained at their work until they completed it, when they took their departure in a leisurely manner. In the neighbourhood of Kanturk, not far from the scene of this occurrence, there were no fewer than three incendiary fires on Sunday morning. Three large ricks of hay, belonging to three different persons, and each at a considerable distance from the other, were set on fire about the same time and entirely destroyed THE COMIC PAPERS.

CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTEIL-Willi3,M Fraser, a tall, powerful young man, known under the suubrequet of " The Doctor," was placed at the bar, charged with felo niously killing and slaying one John William Horne. From the evidence it appeared that the two men had been drinking for a considerable time at a public-house in St. Martin's lane, and a quarrel ensued. The prisoner and defendant eventually began fighting, when they were put out of the house, after which they again commenced fighting. The prisoner eventually struck the de ceased a blow on the side of the bead, and he then fell to the ground and became insensible. He was taken home to his residence, and after lingering a few days he died. The police had for some time been unable to apprehend the prisoner, as he had absented himself from the public-house where, up to the night of the occur ronce, he had been a constant visitor. A surgeon, who had made a post-mortem examination, said death had resulted from compression on the brain, caused by an extensive fracture of the skull. There were a large number of bruises all over the decoasad's body which could not have been occasioned by the fall, but the injury on the head was decidedly the cause of death. He could not say whether the injury was produced by a blow or a fall. _ _ Sir T. Henry said he must have some further inquiry made about the matter, but he should of course send the case before a jury. _ Application was made to admit the prisoner to bail. tiir T. Henry said he could not accede to such a request as the prisoner had kept out of the way, and the police had had great difficulty in apprehending him. THAMES.

You have no evidence to give. The Prosecutor—Not one word to say against her. My money is all safe ; I have never lost it. Mr. Benson—You ought to have been more careful. The woman is discharged, and she ought never to have been brought here. WESTMINSTER. WHOLESALE POT STEALING.—James Jones, a hawker of lemons, was charged with stealing two quart and ono pint pewter pots.

This gave offence to the prisoner and her friends, and they made a great disturbance, throwing Mrs. Har bone and her employer out of the house and closing the door against them, and breaking a pane of glass, the pri soner also pulling a quantity of hair out of Hrs. Harbone's head. Luke Jeffrey, one of the warrant officers, said the pri - sonei admitted to him that she had given the complainant's hair " a good pull."
