The foreign secu cities are heavy, and Spanish have declined -1, Ita lian 1, and Tnekish 1-16. There is no alteration in the discount market, and in the House loans are to be had at 11 per cent. Consols are 941 31 for money; ditto, for ac count, 94 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 92 1 ; New Three per Cents, 92 1 ; Exchequer Bills £l,OOO, 2 per Cent., 20 prem. ; ditto, £lOO and £2OO, 15 prem. India Stock, 5 per Cent., Jaly, 1880, 1151; ditto, Enlaced Paper, 4 per Cent., 911. In the Foreign Market the prices are as fol lows :—Brazilian of 1865, 774 to 781 ; Chilian of 1867, 941 to 951 ; .Egyptian of 1864, 81 to 82 ; ditto of 1868, 74 to 1 ; Italian of 1861, 551 to 66 ; Mexican, 15i to 4 ; Peruvian of 1865, 811 to ; Russian, 901 to I ; ditto Nicolai Rail way Loan, 654 to 4 ; Orel, 811 to ; Moscow- Jaroslavv, 82k- to 4 ; Spanish of 1867, 33/ to ; Turkish of 1850, 681 to to ; ditto of 1862, 681 to 1 ; and ditto of 1865, 411 to i.

Li Miscellaneous and Banking Shares the prices are as last quoted. The anticipated withdrawal of £1,000,000 (chiefly in Russian linp,:rials) for transmission to St. Peters burg, took place yesterday at the bullioa office of the Bank. An active demand prevails in all discount quar ters. In the open market the brokers refuse bills under 2i per cent., and in some instances advances have been made on the understanding that the rate is to be fixed on Thursday next, when it is expected that the official minimum will be raised 1 per cent. The upward movement should be re garded with much favour, as it is a positive indica tion of stimulated enterprise ; if caused by legiti mate investment and expansion of a trade, a steady rise to 5 per cent. will be satisfactory to the com munity at large. At the half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the Chartered Mercantile Bank of India, London, and China, held to-day, Mr. George G. Nicol in the chair, the directors' report and statement of accounts were adopted. The chairman said he hoped the whole of the bad debts of 1865-66 would be finally extinguished by the end of the present Year. In the matter of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway Company, which has been before Vice- Chancellor Gifford, all parties having consented to withdraw the various pending suits, a decree was granted sanctioning the carrying out of the pro- Po3als of the new directors for a reorganisation of the company's affairs, aud the receiver for the de benture trust in England was duly authorised to take the necessary steps for the immediate removal of the receiver at present in control of the property in America. The Department of Agriculture in the United States has issued its report of the crops of the pre sent year up to the close of the past month. From this it appears that the full promise of the early summer has not been realized in the wheat bar. vest. The increase of area over that of last year i❑ its effect upon aggregate production is nearly neu tralized by a small diminution in some of the prin cipal wheat-growing States in yield per acre, so that the increase in total quantity is scarcely more than 3 per cent , and this has been obtained mainly froin the Pacific coast, California, showing an in crease of 25 per cent. The amount of old wheat on hand is rather less than usual throughout the coun try, with the exception of the cotton States, which, with the exception of Texas, have a higher average than last year.

ALASKA. Till recently very litle has been known of the climate and resources of the northern shores of the Pacific ; but the report on the investigations of the United States Coast Survey furnished to the No vember number of " Lippincott's Magazine" has thrown new light on the subject. Their instruc tions were to observe and study the law of the tides, to observe and collect information of the ocean currents, and discuss their influence upon the climate and veg.:table productions of the coun try, and their bearing upon the important question of the ocean steamship routes between San Fran cisco and Japan and China ; to search fur fishing banks; to collect statistics of the furs and mine rals, and of the inhabitants and their prospective relations to the new order of rule and trade. The fishermen of col have hitherto been compelled to resort to Fraucisco for their stores, but now Alaska enables them to fish in its bays when stormy weather drives them from off the open cud banks. Instead of making the long trip to and from San Francisco, and of keeping the imperfecirly cleaned fish for a long time iu salt, now it will be cured at stations and depots, where the fish may be cul leeted and conveyed to Asia and Australia. The number of American fishing vessels em ployed among the Shumagin Islands, off the South east shores of the peninsula of Alaska in 1367 was 27, the average catch nearly 100 tons, the average cost of outfit and labour $3,000 in gold, the average value of the codfish nine and a half coats per pound in coin. The supply from the Alaska banks, it is stated, has already closed the importation of cod fish from New England ports into California. The eastern part of Behriug Sea is fall of cud, and the area within the limits of 50 fathoms of water is no less than 18,000 square miles. The banks along the shores of Alaska bordering the Gulf of Alaska and south of the Aleutian Islands will add, it is stated, not less than 45,000 square miles, and thus the fishermen will have a surface of 63,000 square miles, with an average depth not greater than 50 fathoms over which to ply their vocation. The Gulf of Alaska has always been renowned for whale. The waters of the Archipelago Alexander abound in this fish. In June and July every bay, harbour, and strait is covered with the " whale's food." This mollusk is carried by the currents along the shores of Alaska Gulf, and collects under the lee of the Pamplona Reef, at the very height of the fishing season. This field is very rich, and it is suggested that whaling can be more profitably and effectively carried on here, by means of small vessels especially constructed for the purpose, and then by storing the oil at a depot, to be shipped thence to the large markets. The United States Coast Survey, fol lowing the traces of lignite and water-born speci mens of coal which were to be found in the St. John Valley, arrived at the conclusion, from well known geological indications, that abundance of coal would be discovered in that part of Alaska ; and after the departure of the corps news was received by telegraph that the bed of coal pointed out by the geologist of the expedition had been opened, and the substance, when tried on the war steamer Saranac, pronounced to be anthracite. The Japan warm ocean current has an important influence upon the climate, and consequently upon the habitability of Alaska, this stream, which is much more marked in its effect than the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic Ocean, being of greater volume, greater velocity, and of higher temperature. The main body of this Pacific current runs from the coast of Niphon, in 35 degrees latitude, 3,300 nautical miles, to latitude 48 degrees, and longitude 148 degrees east from Greenwich, where it is within 900 miles of the American coast. At this point it divides, the larger branch striking Van couver's Island, and thence running along the shores of Washington Territory, Oregon, and Ca lifornia ; the smaller branch continuing to thJ coast of the Alexander Archipelago, and thence running along the shores of Alaska. This immense volume of warm water (the temperature of the surface iu latitude 57 degrees being from 50 to 52 degrees in September), exhibits its effects upon the climate of Alaska, especially in the vegetation. The condensation of the warm, vapour-laden air by the colder and drier air of the continent, produces heavy rains; hence the enormous and rapid growth of the trees, the luxuriant grasses, plants, and mosses. The difference in temperature between the wet and dry bulb thermometers is very small, indicating slow evaporation, and ice cannot be formed clear and solid enough to be taken to San Francisco. Ou the Pacific coast large trees are to be found seven degrees farther north than on the eastern side, and gay flowers and rare and beauti ful plants give the shores of Cape Lisburne, in latitude of 59 degrees, the appearance of a garden. THE TRANSIT OF MERCURY.—The Rev. Charles B. Gribble, Chaplain to the English Embassy at Constantinople, writes that the transit of Mercury was well seen there on the morning of Thursday, the sth in stant. The weather was very fine; a slight haze hung before the sun soon after its rising. At 7.20 a.m., or 4d. 19h. 26m., the dark holy of the planet was clearly visible; its movement was g,•aduAl but perceptible until it neared the sun's limb ; when its motion seemed more rapid. Its disappearing from its first contact with the limb until it was lost to view occupied about thirty seconds. Its disappearance was complete at 10h. 48m.

Fresh up to Mark-lane this morning the receipts of wheat from Essex and Kent were limited. For both red and white parcels the demand ruled heavy, at Monday's reduction in value.

Maize and other articles afloat were firm in value. Moderate supplies of barley we.te on sale. Very little business was passing iu any description at the late de cline. Malt sold slowly, but at full rates. Oats' changed hands quietly at barely previous qtWa bns. TALLOW. The market is firm.

The quotaiLin of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25f. 1741 per £1 sterlin. )n oJniparing these rates with the English Mint price of irs. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about the same price in London and Paris. The course of exchange at New York on London for bill s at 60 days' sight was on the last date about 1091 per cent. At this rate here is no profit on the importation •t gold from the Uni cd States.

Dr. Miller, who early recorded his vote for the two Liberal candidates), intimated his intention, before the day of nomination, of forbidding the parish church bolls to bo rung in celebration of the triumph of either party. On the day of nomination they were rung according to custom, but ho refused to allow the bells to be used for celebrating a triumph of one party of his parishioners over the other, as he Thought such a use of them unseemly and irritating.
