On Tuesday and Wednesday it was less than 29 inches; and the mean of the week was not more than 2.►•330 in. The temperature was low towards the end of the previous week and at the beginning of last ; but the mean rose to 49° on Friday and Saturday, about t` above the average. The mean of the week was 46 . 9'. The wind was for the most part in the south-west. 7.1.= 1. = • .7.4 ~ - - --- A 4 , ,',_'-'::'-.-?4,k,...7,1 -.' . ; r-- - X . " ' ' // ant •'' . "t€. ; ;_. , 11, ,11` •tr trtiliatt '7 nu selves that so many as 30,000 men have come forward, contributing 17,0001. sterling, an ace• rage of 51. 13s. 4d. each, for the purpose of acquiring the legislative franchise—of freeing them selves from the reproach of being mere political cyphers, without a voice in the selection of repre sentatives. Such persons have proved themselves worthy of the suffrage, and they have adopted the best mode of ob taining it, not only for themselves; but for their less energetic brethren, who, although similarly situated, have not exhibited similar zeal and enthusiasm for the good cause. Those who are submitting to petty priva tions, who relinquish many little comforts for the pur pose of achieving their own enfranchisement, have af forded the best evidence of their qualifications for that important duty. They will, indeed, be free and inde pendent electors, not willing to barter the privileges they have acquired by steady industry, frugality, and self-denial. Their votes will be given for the most eligible candidates. They will be proof against bribery, corruption, and intimidation, will live honoured, and bequeath to their children the noblest heritage, the possession of an honest and unblemished name. We are, therefore, proud to learn that 30,000 such persons have been found among the less wealthy classes, and we sincerely hope that next year they will receive a vast accession to their ranks from those who, with increased and steady employment, and with the additional stimulus to almost every species of in dustry, occasioned by the approaching Exhibition, will have larger means at their disposal than has hereto fore been the case. It must be sufficiently obvious to any person at all acquainted with the laws of real property, and the enormous expenses occasioned by the pre sent complicated system of titles, that no private individual of small means can acquire the possession of a freehold estate. A person with a few hundred pounds may in vain look for a favourable opportunity for investment. The expenses attending the deduc tion of title and costs of conveyance would absorb the greater portion of his property. The purchaser of a simple close, or small freehold, will have a, much larger sum to pay in proportion than his more wealthy neighbour. The latter may have to pay 5 or 10 per cent, on the value of his new estate, but the former must make up his mind to a larger outlay than that ne cessary for the purchase itself, and with this addi tional inconvenience and drawback, that if from any reverse of fortune, or from its becoming divisible among his children on his death, it will become practically unsaleable. The Society for Promoting the Amendment of the Law, speaking on this subject, in one of their admirable reports, say "Prac tically speaking, small properties cannot be dealt with except as articles of luxury. The large proprietor is debarred from selling, and the poor man from buying, by the expense of the transfer. Retrospective titles then are not merely a legal inconvenience, but a great social evil." This is, indeed, the truth ; they are social evils, and that of no ordinary magnitude. But " union is strength," and what cannot be accomplished singly, may be easily achieved by the cordial and zealous co-operation of many. The freehold land societies, if the rules be judiciously framed and the objects carried out with judgment and integrity, will overcome every obstacle, remove every impediment ; a large estate may be purchased with only a single title to be investigated, which, in turn, may be subdivided, so as to suit the wishes of subscribers, giving to each man a fair return for his investment, larger than that which he can obtain through the savings'-bank, and, at the same time, giving him without expense the great object of his ambition—the rights and privileges of a freeman—a voice in the national councils, and the power of making known his wants and wishes in the Imperial Parlia ment through his chosen representative. It is not our custom to offer any observations on ex parte statements, or questions that are still sue judice. Audi alteram partem is a golden rule which we ever desire to respect and preserve inviolate. We, therefore, advisedly abstained from commenting in any way on the extraordinary transactions brought to light in the case of " SAMUEL SIBURY V. the Rev. THOMAS HODSOLL Winxisis," although affording a powerful illustration of some of the many artful schemes and devices to entrap the unwary, daily resorted to by some of the denizens of the modern Babylon, and also of the imperative necessity for the utmost caution, on the part of those who desire to obtain pecuniary accommodation in other than public and legitimate channels. The matter, however, has at length been disposed of ; the conditional order has been made absolute. No notice that can now be taken of the subject by the public journals can in any degree influence or affect the result. We are, therefore, at length at liberty ; and we conceive it to be our imperative duty to draw a salutary moral from the facts and circumstances, so as to prevent new victims from falling into similar snares. On the sth of the present month a rule nisi was obtained, at the instance of the defendant, calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why a judge's order to stay proceedings in the action, on payment of the sum of 751. for principal and 61. for costs, by monthly in stalments, should not be set aside, and why the plain tiff should not refund various sums of money, amounting in the whole to 461., which had been already paid by the plaintiff in pursuance of said order ; and why plaintiff or his attorney should not pay the costs of the application. On Friday, when the mat ter was again brought forward, mo goes were made on behalf of the plaintiff and his attorney for additional time to an swer the affidavits, but which the Court on due consideration did not think fit to accede to. No cause was therefore shown against the original rule, which was made ab*olute as a matter of course. From the affidavits used on behalf of the defendant, it appeared, that on or about the month of August, 1849, that gentle man received by post a printed circular letter, stating that the author had been fa voured with the negotiation of loans of money for clergymen, officers on full pay, &c. (these appear to be the parties most easily victimized, and from whom some money can most certainly be extracted by way of compromise under the fear of exposure), and that he was enabled to obtain sums of money for short terms, from 1501. to 10,0001., on the personal security alone of gentlemen who might be in want of pecuniary accommodation, and who had the means of returning the same when due. It also stated that full confidence might be placed, and discretion would be used in the conduct of the loans, and that no securities would be required until the money was ready and all preliminaries settled and agreed upon. There was one circumstance that might have awakened suspicion, the application was to be by letter only, and to an anonymous correspondent, the liberal and trustworthy agent concealing his real name under the modest appellation of " Alpha," 57, Burton-street, Tavistock-square. But that mystery was satisfactorily explained—it was to prevent " frivolous applications ;" but " on receipt of any genuine communication the real name and ad dress would be immediately supplied, and all neces sary information given." The letter was on the whole written with great plausibility, carrying with it an ap pearance of frankness and bone i fides th a t m i g h t easily deceive an inexperienced person —we say an inex perienced person, for any one possessed of ordinary knowledge of the world must have known that such offers are seldom, if ever volunteered, and that some thing more is required as a guarantee for good faith than the self-praise of an unknown and anony mous correspondent. The defendant was, however, captured by the glittering bait. He wanted money for the purpose of assisting a friend, and he deter mined to avail himself of the services of the obliging " Alpha." He accordingly wrote to the address in dicated, inquiring the terms and mode of effecting such loan, to which he received a prompt reply, signed " J. GARDINER," but which, from the affidavit of a gentleman named " BEART," were - in the hand- Iwriting of a person named SAMUEL SIRURT, the younger, who became an insolvent debtor in the year 1846, having been remanded for eighteen months for having fraudulently made away with p roper t y. Th e unsuspecting defendant was satisfied with the• terms proposed by the eidolon GARDINER, 1;14. himself b y 113 that high minded gentleman could not degrad e meddling in any transaction • below the m i nimum amount of 1501., it was, after some corresponde nce , agreed that Mr. Wrexties should accept a bill a t three months for:1501., and that upon such sum being raised he should receive one moiety, the balance being retained by the kind Mr. GARDINER for his own use, and for which he was to provide when the bill arrived at maturity. Even this stipulation did not excite any doubt in the mind of the credulous defendant. It did not strike him as out of the usual routine cf business that he should become responsible for a perfect stranger, or how it happened that a person with so large a connexion among, and unbounded influence with, ca pitalists should require any assistance in procuring so small a sum. The bill was duly accepted-in blank fo r the sum of 1501., payable three months from the date, the 27th September, 1849. The return did not however, come quite as soon as he bad expected from the professions of his new friend. He addressed two letters of remonstrance, the second of which elicited an answer dated the sth of October, 1849, in which Mr. GARDINER said, "1 do not know what makes you so uneasy. You must understand this, if you are going off your engagements, I am not going off mine. You agreed to my proposition of our jointly borrowing 1501., to be divided between us. lam endeavouring to obtain this loan, and shall certainly not relinquish the project until I fail, unless very handsomely paid for it!" After such a communication, it was sufficiently manifest that the defendant had been grossly vic timized, that he had fallen into the hands of an ac complished swindler; but he continued hoping against hope, and corresponding on the subject up to the 15th of December, one fortnight before the maturity of the bill. Then, at length, Mr. GARDINER conceiving " facts were best," acknowledged that "he had received 701. from a fellow who promised the balance the next day, which, being his moiety, he had applied to his own use, intending to transmit the residue, when he received it, to Mr. WlLxres. Then commenced a series of subterfuges, a tangled web of fraud and duplicity, surpassing any thing in the annals of swindling that has ever 3et been perpetrated. Exposure was to be avoided by all means; the country clergyman ought to redeem the bill with 751., but GARDINER had but 25/. avail able, and he had actually the audacity to transmit his own note for 501. to his victim, in order that he might get cash for it in the country and send it up to GAR DINER to take up the former bill, which would other wise be passed away, and the full amount must be paid. The bill, however, became due. GARDINER, although deploring the scrape into which they had fallen became actually jocular on the subject. He had arranged that there was "tube noblackguardism I but everything to be done, as . gentlemanly cut-throats of the olden time— the CLAUDE DUvAL style." He recommended a solicitor to accept service, appear, and give a consent for judgment for the defendant getting full time; nay, further, making such excel lent terms as to get him off for payment, by instal ments, of the moiety, 751. and costs, GARDINER'S own undertaking being accepted for the residue, which was, of course, duly and regularly paid ! ! We have not space to follow through this mass of deceit, suffice it to say, that Mr. WILKINS, after paying 461., on account, was at length enlightened, and, with a manliness, for which he deserves the ut most credit, he determined on bringing the whole matter before the public, and with what result we have just seen. We trust that the entire affair may act as a beacon-light to warn many unsuspecting and inexperienced persons of the shoals and quick sands that are before them, and on which the happi ness of many families has been shipwrecked. If it be so, he will not have parted with his money in vain, or the matter be without advantage to society in general. SOYER'S RELISH. Alexis Soyer has conferred upon the world a new benefaction. The very title of it is suggestive of its excellence. It affords another proof that the author, as well as his book, is entitled to the name of the Gastronomic Regenerator. They may talk to us of " Alison on Taste," but, to our think ing, " Soyer on Taste " is immeasurably more palateable. Is there any doubt upon this point ? We refer confidently to the " New Relish," satisfied thst the assertion, under its influence, will be swallowed with infinite satisfaction. As we despair of in any way affording a notion of the flavour of this most delicious and incomparable Relish, we must con tent ourselves with declaring its name to be its most exact definition. A relish it unquestionably imparts to the most wholesome viands, and we can not help thinking that with a bottle or two of such sauce the shipwrecked sailor might have devoured, even with gusto, the kid gloves and morocco slippers spoken of in Constable's Miscellany. ANTI-POPERY. TO THE DISSENTERS OF ENGLAND. MY GOOD FRIENDS,—Are you too busy in :the fight for our glorious Church Establishment to listen to a fireside story ? There was a certain pilgrim who journeyed alone across a great desert, wherein was no help for him against man or beast. And it came to pass, as he journeyed, that two savage beasts contended in the way. They were spent with long fighting and at the point of death and because they saw the end ap proaching their cry was exceeding loud. And the leopard said unto the pilgrim, " Oh pil grim, my brother, save me from this tiger. Re member, I beseech thee, slaughtered men and ravaged folds, and aid me in this strait, for it is very sore." Then the - pilgrim uplifted his staff and disabled the tiger, whom the leopard easily worried. Moreover, the pilgrim) washed the wounds of the leopard, and anointed them with oil from his cruse ; and the leopard yelped much in praise of the pilgrim. But when it was now dark, and the leopard was an hungered he made a meal of the pilgrim, with this comfortable apostrophe,—" Thou fool, can the Ethi opian change his skin or the leopard his spots; and hadst thou not known me of old ?" My poor good-natured friEnds, "Murano DOMILIP de to fetbula narratur." Yours, between laughing and crying, DELTA. DEATH OF LORD NUGENT, M.P.—The Right Hon. Lord Nugent, M.P. for the b rough of Aylesbury, expired at his seat, Lillies. yesterday afternoon. His Lordship's demise was scarcely expected, as his disease had taken a more fa vourable turn. DEATH OF COL. KEATE, LATE SCOTS FUSILIER GuAans.— On the 23d instant, Colonel }create, who had retired from the army, died in town. lie entered the service in the year 1800, and served with his regiment in the Penin sula from 1803 till the beginning of 1813; he was present at the passage of the Douro, the affair near Salamanca, battle of Busaco, siege of Ciudad Rodrigo, covering the siege of Ba dajoz, battle of Salamanca, capture •f Madrid, and siege of Burgos. The late Colonel Kate had received the silver war-medal for Busaco, Ciudad Rodrigo, aid Salamanca. He formerly held the appointment of equerry to the late Duke of Cambridge. The original MS. of Waver ley, wholly in the handwriting of Sir Walter Scott—the same MS. which was sold at Evans's, in 1831, with the other MSS. of the noble series of novels and romances, has just been presented to the Advocates' Library at Edinburgh, by Mr James Hall, brother of the late Captain Basil Hall. At the sale alluded to, the MS. was bought by Mr. Wilks, M.P., for something under 201., and it was sold by that gentleman the next week to Mr. Hall at Mr. Hall's price of forty guineas. It is a well known fact to all readers of Scott, that the novel of Wavierley was commenced about the year 1805, and laid aside in an old cabinet till 1813, when it was again taken up, com pleted, and published: we need hardly add with what suc cess The MS. both in the dated watermarks of the paper and by features in the handwriting, confirms and illustrates the story of the delay. It is not perhaps generally known that the trustees of the Advocates' Library were in treaty for the purchase of the whole of the MSS., and actually offered more for them than they realised at the sale. While we regret that the offer of the Advocates was not accepted, and the MSS. kept together for public use and general grati fication, we are pleased to think that, all circumstances con sidered, the most interesting of the MSS. (thanks to Mr. Hall) has been added to the treasures of the noblest library in Scotland.-401theneurn. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1850. The second annual meeting of the members of the council and members of the Freehold Land Societies was held in the committee-room of the Town-hall, Birmingham, on Tuesday morning. It was numer ously and influentially attended ; several Members of Parliament, and delegates from the various societies throughout England, almost all of which were re presented, took part in the deliberations preparatory to the public meeting. It appears that there are already no less than eighty of these associations in existence, exclusive of a great number of affiliated branches ; that they contain in the aggregate no less than 30,000 members subscribing for 40,000 shares, and that the paid-up capital amounts to about 170,0001. This is a very fair commencement for an institution which is still but in its infancy ; but we confess that we shall be deeply disappointed if it should not receive a vast accession of strength, as well in the number of subscribers as in the pecuniary resources that will be available within the ensuing year. Heretofore the condition and circumstances of the country have not been favourable for the due development of such a project. The nation is only just recovering from the commercial crisis that brought so many persons to the verge of ruin, and paralyzed industry. The labouring population, from whose ranks these associations must chiefly be re cruited, could not obtain remunerative employment sufficient to enable them to set aside a portion of their earnings for any purpose, however desirable. The sufferings of past years—the knowledge that so long as our infamous monetary code is main tained in its present form, such crises must be of constant recurrence, induced the great mejority of the working classes to put by their savings, in a shape in which they could at any moment be made available, on the approach of " the rainy day." - Under such circumstances, then, it is by no means surprising that greater numbers have not enrolled their names as members of the freehold land so cieties. We have rather cause to congratulate our- ROYAL ARTILLERY.—WOOLWICH, Nov. 26.-17 gunners left the garrison this morning in charge of a ser geant for Leith Fort, to fill up Captain Pickering's company, 3d battalion, a t th a t station, and Capt a i n P aynter ' s com pany, 2d battalio n , at Glasgow, and Fort G eorge, N orth Britain. 11 gunners also left the garrison at two o'clock A.M. to-day for Euston-square, under the charge of a non commissioned officer, to proceed to Manchester, to fill up Captain Cock's company, 6th battalion, at teat station. 12 fine young men, recruits, joined bead-quarters yesterday from Coleraine, where they were enlisted by the recruiting party under Captain Knox. A new great coat, of a better description than those now used, is to be issued to the non commissioned officers of the battalions and field batteries. The cloth is of a dark blue colour, similar to the cloaks used by the Royal Horse Artillery, and of such good quality that it is calculated to serve five years inalead of three years, the period allowed fur the present gray coats. The new great coats are lined with serge and fitted with scarlet collars. ROYAL ENGINEERS. -- Lieutenant-Colonel Ord, who for several Years was the commanding officer of Royal Engineers and Royal Sappers and Miners at Quebec, has left Canada and returned to England, and has been suc ceeded by Lieutenant-Colonel Streatfield, who had the com mand at Kingston. Captain Gordon has proceeded from Montreal to Kingston, to take the command of that district I for a temporary period; and Captain the Hon. H. F. Keane, recently arrived in Canada, is now in charge at Montreal. SHIPWRECK AT LONDON•RRIDGE.—On Monday, during the high wind, a vessel, containing 350 quarters of malt, in endeavouring to pass under London• bridge struck one of the pier -heads, and the crew had great difficulty in effecting a safe retreat from the vessel ; the whole of the valuable-cargo, however, sank - to the bottom of the Thames —but during yesterday a great number of sacks filled with grain were recovered from the river, which, of course, were greatly damaged by the water. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. We find in the National the following admirable article on the agitation going on in England against Papal aggression : " The Catholics complain of the Liberals of all coun tries who demand liberty for all opinions, and yet who raise a cry of alarm at each new progress made by Ca tholicism. The reason is clear; because Catholicism is the born enemy of liberty; because, as soon as it has ob tained a footing in a country it endeavours to enslave it. All other religions consider themselves free enough when they are permitted to govern themselves, but the Catholic Church believes itself oppressed as long as it does not govern the conscience of others. Who can forget in its history the inquisition, or St. Bartholomew, or the war of the Cfeennes, or the revocation of the edict of Nantes? When, two mouths ago, a Paris journal undertook the defence of the inquisition, it was in the truth of Catholicism. The demonstration was accused of being inopportune inopportune and rash it may have been, but false it certainly was not. The English can remember Thomas Becket, Rho owed his glory to his obstinate resistance to the wishes of his sovereign ; they can point to the gunpowder plot, and to King James, supported by Loui. XIV., to make the country Ca•holic in spite of itself. In fact, their whole history is full of lessons of the am bition and intrigues of the Court cf Rome, of the trouble which it causes in all states where it dominates. But what need of history have we when we have before our eyes Piedmont and Preece ? Who arrests Pied mont at present in her efforts to obtain civil liberty ? Who urges the bishops against the Constitution ? Who forbids the people to obey the law of the State ? Who glorifies those culprits whom the justice of their country has condemned ? Who profits by our misfortunes, by the incapacity of our statesmen, to resume, except in name, all the privileges of state religion ? Who brings us back these artisans of dis cord, these public pcisone;s, branded with reprobation less by the sentence of a Pope and the decisions of our Parliaments than by the hatred with which the people pursues them? Who, after having asked only for liberty, dictates it conditions to the Ministers of the Republic, removes from all functions the unbelieving or the dissenting, asks to have the disciplinary prescriptions of the Church, and seizes as a right on the exclusive monopoly of public instruction? If England could have any ,doubt as to what is to take place in her country from this newly-created clergy, let her cast her eyes on Ireland. The council of Thurles has been scarcely ter m.nated, when of its acts—the only one published—is the letter which forbids the Catholics to frequent the mixed universities founded by the State at Cork, Gal way. and Belfast. In the apostolic letter which establishes the episcopal hirearchy in England the Pope does not conceal his hopes. It is to favour propagandism that he creates bishops— it is that the number of neophytes should increase daily, and at least cover all England. The new Cardinal is not less explicit, as, after having feli citated the Church of England on having again recovered its orbit in the firmament, he exclaims, This day opens to us a brilliant prospect Thus it is not to live that he ask, it is to spread; he comes not as a priest, but as an apostle. This religion, the ugh only just emancipated, open4y aspires to supplant the: of the State. Het.cefor• ward the Court of Rome has in England an interest in opposition to that of Queen Victoria; it has there a re venue, an army, and generals, and will every day endea vour to obtain fresh followers, who will be at the same time its subjects. This is what touches the patriotic feeling of England—this is what causes her clergy, her universities, and her political men to cry cut.

The Archbishop of Westminster is at present only the guest of England, but to-morrow he may be, he must be, her enemy." In the Assembly General FABVIER brought for ward a motion for the liberation of ABD-EL-KADER, in accordance with the formal promise given to him by the Duc D'AUaIALE and by General LAMORICIERF, Which promise hae been his inducement to surrender. The motion was opposed by General SCHRAMM, the Minister of War, who declared distinctly that the promise had only been given to obtain possession of the person of ABD-EL-KADEE, and that it would be absurd to suppose that such promises so given by a General to attain his object were ever intended to be observed. There were repeated interruptions during the course of the General's speech, but the motion was rejected by a large majority.

Intelligence has been received from Berlin to the 24th. It is said that of the Committee appointed by the Assembly to prepare the address :in answer to the speech from the Throne, the majority are in favour of peace. A note from Lord PALMERSTON had been received urging Prussia to keep peace, and advising that the Holstein question should be settled by the four great Powers. _ _ - The following notice has been published by the Minister of Commerce on the Exchange at Stetti❑ " The Russian Government has resolved on abolish ing the Customs frontier between Russia and Poland, and to issue a tariff common to both countries. This tariff, which will in a short time come into operation, will make considerable reductions in the scale of the Russian im port duties, and some increase in those of the previous tariff of Poland, of which the commercial interest is hereby informed. " VON DER HEYDT." The minor powers are exceedingly irritated at the abandonment of the Union by Prussia. Several encounters have taken place at Frankfort between the Prussian and Federal troops. Th e re presentatives of Luxemburg and Lim burg have b een withdrawn from the Frankfort Diet, which is conse quently no longer in number to deliberate.

Advices have been received from Vienna to the 22d. The King of PRUSSIA'S Speech was known, but it had produced no effect there. The Catholic Journal of Moravia gives some account of a sect which has lately sprung up in Vienna under the name of " Young Catholics." Its object appears to be-Ist, the acknowledgment of the POPE'S supremacy ; 2dly, the speedy realization of the immunities granted to the Church by the Austrian Government, by the establishment of diocesan synods, ecclesiasti ca l cour t s , an d th e i n dependent administra tion of the Church funds; 331 y, the establishment at Vienna of a Catholic Society, to which none are to be admitted who are not staunch Catholics ; 4thly, the special institution of missions for the towns and provinces of Austria; Othlr, the establishment of a true Catholic University at Vienna.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 2.500 bales, comprising about 2,000 American, 100 Bahia at 8d , 300 Surat, sid. to 6,i., and 50 Sea Islands at ls. 01d. to Is. 21d. per lb. The mar ketclosed heavily.—Railway Shares were flat. In Mark-lane tee day Wheat was firm, and in rather short supply. There was no further decline yesterday afternoon in the rates of exchange for bills upon the principal conti nental cities, 90 days' paper being negotiated at 11 16i to 1 on Amsterdam, 13 41 to 51 on Ham burgh, 25 30 to 35 on Paris, 1184 to 119 on Frankfort, and 13 30 on Vienna. The Amsterdam Bourse on the 25th inst. was flat, the Dutch Two-and•a-Half per Cents. being 54. Mexican Bonds were 29k; Austrian Stock was lower. At Elamburgh, last Friday, the rate of exchange on London did not go lower, being 13.21. Gold was at 426 k. Coffee was very quiet, and also Grain. At Dantzic on the 18th inst. the weather was rather un settled. Snow had fallen. Respecting the alleged intention of the British Go vernment to selsct the island of Anticosti as a convict station, it may be doubted whether there is good foun dation for the report, as the desire of the British Government would be to find a cheap, healthy place for the residence of the convicts, where, after their term of imprisonment, they might settle. Anticosti, as we are informed, is not such a place; its soil is unfit for cultiva tion; almost all articles of loud must be imported, and the convicts would not be likely to remain after their term of servitude Ras over. The climate, also, is too severe. The English Funds aro looking firmer, and there is more inclination to do business. Consols have been quoted 961 1 for Transfer, and 96f for Account. The New Thre-and- a •Quarter per Cents, have been 9711, and the Three per Cents. 951 1. The political intelligence from abroad is ntariy of the same character as that received previously, but the announce ment that England has expressed ro Prussia its disap proval of a war policy imparts confidence. The specu lative dealings lately have preponderated for a fill, and should the intelligence from the Continent improve be fore settling-day, a rally might be expected. On the other band, a state of indecision and continued arma ments, without any actual increase of the dan gerous s 3 mptoms, would deter many purchases, and perhaps bring forward sellers tired of the protracted incertitude. Bank Stock has been quiet at 211, and India Stock has been marked 268 k. Exchequer bills nave realised 645. to 675., and India Bonds 84s. to to 87s premium. Consols now are 961 The foreign market has been in some respects firmer, but there is no activity. Spanish Five per Cents, are heavy at 171, and the Three per Cents. have been quoted 39. Mexican Bonds have rallied to 311 1, and for next Account are 32. Buenos Ayres Bonds are quiet at 54, and Brazilian New at 86, the intelligence of a probable war having led to no sales. Danish Five per Cent. Bonds have fluctuated from 981 to par, and Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents, have been heavy at 95k. Dutch Four per Cents. have realized 86f to f. The Railway Share market is still rather weak, and some lines, chiefly those which had most advanced previously, are more affected than others. Aberdeen have been as low as 81, Caledonian 91, and Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton 161. 'They are a shade better now. Great Western, North-Western, &c., are a little in fa vour of buyers. Foreign shares are dull. In Mines and Banks there has been less animation. QUARTER TO THREE ... 961 Consols ... Ditto Account CLOSIG L'RICES OF BRITISH FUNDS O'CLOCK ONE PR . ICES N .
