NOSEY MARTCET A ND ofrIDIERCIAL N CITY, Two o'CLocK Business was far from active this morning, and Consols declined slightly. The Foreign Market partook of the dullness, and consequently we have but little alteration to record in prices of either English or foreign securities. Ihe rate of discount is 14 to 2 ; loans, 1 to 14 per cent. Consols are 944 8 for money; ditto, far ac count, 941 8 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 921 8 ; New Tkree per Cents, 921 4 ; Exchequer Bills £l,OOO, 2 per Cent., 17 prem. ; and the Bank of England Stock, 4 per Cent.. 2441. India Stock, 101 per Cent., April, 1874, 217 ; ditto, 5 per Cent., July, 1880, 1154. In the Foreign Market a reduction of 4 to t- per cent has occurred in Italian of 1861, the Orel Loan Spanish of 1867, and Turkish of 1865. The quotations are as follows :—Brazilian of 1865, 77 to 781 ; Chilian of 1867, 944 to 951 ; Egyptian of 1864, 81 to 82 ; ditto of 1868, 714 to ; Italian of 1861, 554 to 56 ; ditto Tobacco Loan, 3 to 4 ptn. ; Mexican, 154 to 16 ; Peruvian of 1865, 814 to 8 ; Russian of 1866, 901 to 4 ; ditto Nicolai Railway Loan, 654 to 66 ; ditto Orel, 814 to ; ditto Moscow-Jaroslaw, 824 to 4 ; Spanish of 1867, 341 to 4 ; Turkish of 1850, 681 to 691 ; ditto of 1862, 69 to 70 ; and ditto of 1865, 421 to 4. The United States Bonds steady, at 741 to 4. TheCharkof-Azof Railway Loan Scrip is 11 to 14 prem. Railway stocks are without variation. Great West ern, 504 to 51 ; Midland, 1138 to 1 ; London and South Western, 874 to 881 ; Great Eastern, 444 to s ; Briguton, 504 to 4 ; South Eastern, 791 to 4 ; Metropolitan, 1054 to 4 ; Great Northern, 1054 to 106 ; ditto A, 104 to 1051; Caledonian, 744, 4 ; Lancashire and York shire, 1281 to 1 ; London, Chatham, and Dover, 17 to 4 ; and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln shire, 474 to 484. Banking and miscellaneous shares are unaltered, apart from a trifling recovery hi Hudson's Bay. The Holsatia, from New York, has brought £28,000 in gold, which was delivered at the }link of England yesterday, being less than ten days from the hour of shipment. The France has also brought £9,200. Advices from Madrid gives very satisfactory ac• counts with regard to the kubseription of the Na tional Loan. A remittance of £686 9s. 6d., at 90 days' sight, on account of the dividend on the debt of Ecuador, at 33 premium, has been received by the present mail from Guayaquil. A report of the Oriental Gas Company recom mends a dividend of 6 per cent., which, with 4 per cent. already paid, makes a distribution of 10 per cent. for the year. According to latest reports by the Overland Mail, it is stated that the vessels now on their way from Australia to this country will bring gold to the value of £561,000. The Liverpool Journal of Commerce announces the failure of Messrs. David Robertson and Co., timber merchants, of Grangemouth, with liabilities amounting to £50,000. It has been announced by the Societe Financiere d'Egypte that a distribution of 90f. per share to holders of shares of 250 f., or £lO, will be made on and after the 24th inst. The shares must be deposited in Paris, at 5, Rue Scribe, and in Lon don, at 178, Gresham House ; and the payment will be made five days afterwards, on the production of the receipts. With respect to the appeal to the Committee of the Stock Exchange against the settlement of the Italian Tobacco Loan, on the ground of repudi - tion, the question arises whether it would not be the best course for the bondholders in the Cavour Canal as well as the parties interested in the Sar dinian Railway, to forego their proposed opposition to the settlement of the Tobacco Loan, the result of which might be doubtful, and to lay their grievances before the Council of Foreign Bondholders about to be formed, with the view of obtaining thence forth a permanent ban against all new Italian securities until they shall have attained redress.. Sir Charles Jackson, Chief Commissioner, Major M. C. Lead Lines, and Commissioner Melville resumed the Government inquiry yesterday into the failure of the Bank of Bombay. Mr. New - march, the barrister, who represented a body of shareholders residing in England, was not present, and had retired from the investigation, the Com missioners haviag declined to accede to the request made to allow him to cross-examine the witnesses. Mr. Archibald Robinson, who had been Chief Se cretary of the Presidency of Bombay, was examined yesterday. The inquiry must necessarily occupy some time longer. A circular has been issued in Re Bank of Lon don warning shareholders not to dispose of their shares on the unfavourable terms on which they have lately been sold, and calling upon them to retain their property in the stock of the bank until in a few weeks a general meeting shall pronounce upon what is expedient as to the future. Telegrams from Frankfort state that subscrip tions have been ()Felled at Messrs. Remach's, bankers, for a Neapolitan loan. It is issued in 183,000 bonds, the nominal value 150 f., at the price of 1161, bearing interest at 7f. per bond, to be paid in gold. The loan is to be redeemed by drawings. Subscription lists have also been Opened at Paris, Berlin, Hamburgh, Leipsic, Breslau, and Geneva, between the 18th and 21st instant. After the Ist of January next, the tariff of the Austrian and Hungarian railways for the transmis sion of goods will be considerably modified by the abolition of the percentages hitherto exclusively granted to large commission houses, so that all Parties will henceforth be on the same footing. The Berlin Stettin Railway will likewise adopt the same free trade principle. BRITISH FUNDS-CLOSING PRICES. GOVERNMENT FUNDS.: 2 per Cent. Consols Ditto for Account, Dec. 1_ 94; * 3 per Cent.

HANOVER-SQUARE.—The current number of this excellent magazine opens with a very spirited coin position by Sydney Smith, entitled " Happy Me mories," which, in the hands of ordinary players, will well repay the study. Virginia Gabriel's song, " A Farewell," is plaintive and pretty, but with respect to Mr. Cooper's new air to Moore's " Nora Creina," we don't think it an improvement on the original. M. Bergson con tributes a dishing piece, " Bergeronnette," which will find particular favour with those who admire foreign dance music. The number is a very good one, and shows that the untiring editor, Mr. Lindsay Sloper, is ever on the search for novelty fur his patrons. BOND-STREET—contains Jesse Williams's"Niblo" Waltz, and Mr. F. Nlusgfsre's " Tournament" Galop as the instrumental portion, the remaining pages being occupied with a pretty song', entitled "Sweet Echos" by Douglas Murray, and Sister's Parting" by Mr. Charles Blamphin. The ballads this month are of more than average excel lence, and besides being particul irly good, they are so arranged that a moderate register of voice is only required to sing them, a virtue of rather rare occurrence at the present day. EXETER he pianoforte piece this month is by W. F. Taylor. It is entitled " Reverie Re ligieuse," and is marked by careful study and graceful melody. The new hymn is entitled " God of Israel," the composer being Mr. C. Barry ; and Mr. G. A. Osborne contributes a beauti ful song, " Let me be remembered for what I have done." Stephen Glover enriches the num ber with a duet, "The Life Stream and the River," which, with an effective piece for the harmonium, make up a very attractive number. BEETHOVEN'S SONATAS. —The complete and beau tiful edition of the sonatas of the great composer, edited by Pauer, and published by Messrs Angener, of Newgate-street, has already reached a third edition, but that is but a very small criterion of the extent the actual circulation will be, as it is without doubt the best and most conve nient vo*me of Beethoven's sonata's yet issued. It is so admirably printed that it is much to be preferred to the ordinary sized score, as by a judicious arrangement of space the size of the notes are not diminished, and by the adoption of the large Bvo. size more than the usual quantity of staves are printed on each page so that the per former is not called upon to turn the leaves so fre quently, au arrangement that all players will highly appreciate. The price for the volume compared to that usually charged for the sonatas singly is woads:rfully cheap, as for half a dozen shillings a volume of music of one of the greatest com posers that ever lived can now be obtained, an opportunity of which thousands will take ad vantage.

EXTR&ORDINARY SIIOT.-0 a Wednesday last Lord Darcy Osborne, in shooting at Thorp Perrow, Yorkshire, made a very remarkable shot. His lordship fired at a hare in the long glass, killed it, and in going to pick it up, to his astonishment found five partridges, all killed by the same shot. EXTRAORDINARY BIRTH OF THREE CHILDREN. — The wife of a poor cab-driver, of 35, Prebend-street, Camden Town, has given birth to throe children under the peculiar circumstances :—One was born on the sth, one on the 6th, and a third on the Sth. The poor woman, who was attended by two surge,ms, is progressing favourably. JOHN DAY v.

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS. FRIDAY, November 13. The Baudin afTair has turned out a lucky bit--foe Baudin himself. The subscription lists, which presented very few names on the first day or two, have enormously in creased, and threatento fill the journals which so persistently publish them. Most of the subscriptions are indeed small , but many range from five to one hundred francs, and the total amount must be very considerable. If the monument be erected, Baudin will enjoy a chance of a much more lengthy fame than would have been his lot had this sub. scription never been set on foot. To-day the interrogation of the accused has commenced. They have denied all connection between the Baudin subscription and the mani festations at the Montmartre Cemetery on the occa sion of the jour des mores. There was no understanding amongst them, nor mancauvres, the subscription was spontaneous, and it is for the accusation to prove the con trary. The police agents who were at the cemetery have given nothing but hearsay evidence. They saw the crowd round the tomb, but they heard no words spoken. One lady gave evidence to the effect that M. Quentin, one of the inculpated, did not know where Baudin's tomb was situated. M. Lechevalier, advocate at the Imperial Court, has given his deposition, which was all against the Government. He testified that the speeches pronounced round the tomb, and the homage rendered to the dead, arose from no preconcerted manTuvres. In some conversation which he has held witn members of the diplomatic body, M. de Moustier has expressed his lively satisfaction at the speech of Mr. Disraeli. Some other rumours of interest descend from the high places. One is that the initiative in the Baudin affair was taken by the Emperor himself, and that both M. Rouher and M. Baroche were strongly opposed to the proceeding. Marshal 11I'Mal►on has arrived at CompiZlne, so has M. Ma , gne, who, poor man, cannot enjoy the festivity and relaxa tion of that abode. At least he is said to be much occupied with his Budget, which troubles him greatly. He knows not how to make ends meet next year, and he has insisted strongly upon momentous reductions as the only means of securing any approach to an equilibrium. It is probable, notwithstanding the obstinate resistance of Marshal Niel, that we may yet obtain. the suppression of the great military commands, which occasion such an enormous expense, and abolition of which would certainly not hurt France, even in time of war. Economy is hoped for in the Navy Budget also, not so much by reduction as by selling a large quan tity of old vessels. It is to be hoped, though, that the copper about them will not be bought back for more than the price received I My health bulletin to-day is chiefly unfavourable. Mr. Havin, proprietor of the Steele, is dead, after an illness of great agony. Rossini is pronounced to be in a hopeless condition, and Baron James Rothschild is worse. The great musician's complaint is erysipelas, which first broke out in the right leg, but has since extended to the body, rendering recovery impossible. Several of the journals announce that the Duke of Brabant is much better. The improvement is maintained, and appears to assume a permanent character, affording some ground for hope. The Gaulois, whose cleverness and success are leading it to extravagancies, states that Count Bismarck is suffering from a softening of the brain. An extraordinary case of rescue from drowning is related in the Droit. Some persons on the Quay de Bercy observed a cask, which proved to be half full of alcohol, floating on the water, near the bank, whilst on it was lying an individual apparently dead. Some of the spectators approached and fount . ' that the man was asleep, and clinging to the tub by his hands and knees. They awoke him from his perilous position, and took him to the Octroi Office, where restoratives were administered to him. He then stated that while walking along the towing-path some hours befere, he had fallen into the water, but had succeeded in seizing hold of the cask which was slowly drifting near him, and that at length, over come by the fatigue of his position, he had fallen asleep, and had remained so until found. The supposition is that he must have been in liquor when he tumbled into the river. et Bristol and Exeter 4 p.cent. 100 80 88 86 st Caledonian Qrs., No. 2 lOO at Do. Scot.

IR,II po. do, April 10(1 THE REVOLT IN CUBA A correspondent of a contemporary at St. Jago de Cuba, with date October 17, supplies us with the follow ing particulars of a rebellion amongst the native Indians, which has lately broken out near the town of St. Jago :—" This is not a rising of negroes, as you Europeans have supposed, but a general outbreak amongst the native Indians, of Cuachinangos, as they are called. These people are similar to the lazzaroni of Italian renown—a set of idle pillaging vagabonds, who live in the very heart of the country, and whose principal occupations are tobacco cultivation and cattle driving. They hate the Spaniards and their government like poison, in consequence of their bad administration and the late heavy taxes which have been imposed. The insurrection broke out in the immediate neighbourhood of the port of Manzanillo, and the small towns of Bayamo and Yara, situated at about half a day's journey from Si. Jago. It was discovered by some sailors at Manzanillo, who accidentally opened certain barrels containing what they thought pale ale, but which were in reality firearms, which had been consigned to amerchant in Manzanillo for delivery to the revolutionists. These con traband articles were, of course, immediately seized, and the merchant himself imprisoned. Incensed at the defeat of their plan;the rebels now fairly rose, and as the garrison at Manzanillo bad but a handful of soldiers to defend itself in case of attack, messages were sent to head quarters at Havana and St. Jago for reinforcements. As soon as the news reached our town, the governor, Don Joaquin Ravenet, ordered troops to be sent by a small merchant steamer, which happened to be in port at the time. Soon after, two Spanish men-of-war arrived, and these were immediately despatched upon the slime errand. Our inhabitants were by this time in the greatest state of alarm, fearful that the coloured people would be the next to follow in the rebellious movement. Their fears were greatly augmented by our imprudent governor, who published a most insulting and highly obnoxious mani festo in the daily papers, in which he threatened to sup press any movement that was opposed—not to the Spanish Government, but to the Queen of Spain. The St. Jago volunteers and carbineers had been called out, and guards stationed before the Governor's house and at all the entrances to the town, for the revolution is spreading, and is at the present moment within fourteen leagues of St. Jago. All telegraphic communication between our town and Havana has been cut off by the rebels, who have entirely destroyed the wires for some miles. It will be no easy matter to suppress this revolt, for though the insurrectionists are as yet but few in number, they are a powerful race of men, well accustomed to roughing it in the woods, and well acquainted with every inch of the intricate country. It is at present difficult to get to know the precise state of affairs, but last accounts state that the Governor of Manzanillo had been captured by the rebels and barbarously murdered, that several others had been taken prisoners, and that two Dominican colonels were leading the revolutionary party. What is mostly feared here, as everywhere, is that the negroes will be induced to join in the revolt, which they assuredly would be if the enemy gained any advantage over the Government troops."

FIRE.--A great fire broke out at the Peckam-rye Fire-arms Museum this morning. The destruction of property is valued at some thousand pounds. THE NOVEMBER METEORS.—Professor Phillips telegraphs from Oxford that the star shower was well seen there this morning from 3.43 to 5.45. Poultney, Vermont, has gained the $lOO flag offered to that town, which, having more than 200 voters, cast the largest Republican majority at the State elections. --- ----- Further reports of the great earthquake state that at Talcahano, on the coast of Chili, the waves of the sea were so hot that the fish that were cast on shore were cooked. THE ISTHMUS OF DARIEN AND THE SUEZ CANALS. —At the meeting of capitalists favourable to this project, lately held at New York, at the residence of Mr. Peter Cooper, Mr. Seward, in the course of his speech, described the advantages likely to result, and remarked it was the only enterprise connected with the great works of civil ization which remain to be undertaken ; he assured them the Executive Government of the United States had adopted the enterprise, and had provided for a full, satis factory, and final survey, preparatory to the construction of the Darien Ship Canal, and was engaged in negotiating with the Republic of Columbia for its consent to the achieve ment of the enterprise. Mr. Seward, in alluding to the Suez Canal, said—" A Canal across the Isthmus of Suez already approaches its completion. If that channel is to secure the patronage of universal commerce, it will be fully enlarged and completely adapted to the interests of modern cons ce. In that case the commerce of even the Atlantic American coast, from the St. Lawrence to Cape Horn, will be turned eastward across the Atlantic, and through the Mediterranean and the Rod Sea, and the Indian Ocean, to India and China. It would be a reproach to Ame rican enterprise and statesmanship to suppose that we aro thus to become tributaries to ancient and effete Egypt, when by piercing the Isthmus of Darien we can bring the trade of even the Mediterranean, and of the European Atlantic coasts, through a channel of our own, so palpably indicated by nature, that all the world has ac cepted it as feasible and necessary. The Imperial schooner Layette ' to open the Suez Canal, has just left Toulon for the Red Sea. She is to pass through the Suez Canal, and her trip is to be considered in some sort as the official opening of that route. She is to head a procession of yachts and pleasure boats, to the number, it is said, of a thousand. The luxury of the decorations—a large num ber are already collected at Port Said—and the richness of the fittings will make it a veritable royal fleet, and to add to the splendour of the scene the Viceroy is expected to be present. sPoariNG INTELLMEIOg.

Mr. Simonton, the agent of the New York As sociated Press, has sued the New York Tribune for libel in publishing a letter from George H. Butler, nephew of General Butler, substantiating a charge that General Butler had made to the effect that he (Butler the nephew) had thrashed Simonton which the latter had denied. The Tribune printed both sides to the correspondence, which left off, however, rather severely for Simonton. Butler calls him "the first liar in America," and says he thrashed him into a dead run down Pennsylvania avenuefor a quar ter of a mile in 1866. The overseers of Harvard College have appointed the following university lecturers for the ensuing year: gelogy, Professor Josiah D. Whitney; on opthalmo logy, Di Henry W.

Last Monday evening Mr. Elihu Burritt, the American Consul at Birmingham, attended the dinner to the retiring mayor at the Great Western Hotel. A short time after he left he discovered that his pocket-book, con taining £3O in notes together with some papers, had been stolen from him, and almost at the same moment Mr. Al derman Briggs, before quitting the hotel premises, found that his gold watch was missing ; it had been wrenched from the chain, a small portion of which the chief of police picked up off the floor. It is thought that the thief got among the company when crowding together in search of hats and coats before leaving the hotel. Ex-Alderman Corwin committed suicide Oct. 25 by cutting his throat with a carving-knife. He resided at 224, East Twenty-fifth-street, Now York. Deceased had been suffering from consumption for a long while, and it is supposed he committed the rash act to put an end to his sufferings. Captain M. F. Maury was on the 28th October at Staunton, Virginia, where ho spoke at an agricultural fair in defence of the agriculturists of the South, against the reproaches that they were wanting in energy, attend ing to other business than that which so greatly con cerned them. The Springfield Republican says :—" Mr. Dun bar, the invalid editor of the Boston Daily Advertiser, will soon be in Egypt., and pass the winter with his predeces sor and friend, Mr. Charles Hale, now consul at Alexan dria. Egypt's winter climate is soft, dry, dreamy, lazy, and luxurious, just right for a nervous dyspeptic, which is the prevailing typo of American invalidism. A Convention has been called by the Governors of lowa, Minnesota, Missouri, and Wise )usin, which was to meet at Prairie du Chien, on November 10th, in order to mature measures to impress upon Congress the necessity of making immediate and sufficient appropriations to se cure the improvement of the navigation of Fox and Wis consin rivers, and connect the Mississippi river with Lake Michigan. Th overseers of lla,rvard college held a meeting ou Tuesday, Oct. 27, when the 3 resignation of Dr. Hill was announced, but no nomination of a successor was received from the fellows, so no action was taken further than to appoint a committee to confer with the corporation as to the duties of the president, and Dr. Walker, George F. Hoar, and William Gray were chosen for the purpose. R. W. Emerson, Samuel Eliot, James Freeman Clarke, Ed ward E. Hale, and others presented very interesting re ports on the state of the college. .'
