I t had to our Foreign Relati ons . I t reference principally was chiefly remarkable for the minute and mas ., terly analysis, successively, of the Royal Speech and the Loyal Address, by the Noble Earl—the imme morial Leader of her MAJESTY'S Opposition ! It was distinguished, moreover, from the customary debates upon the opening of Parliament by the all but disloyal eccentricity of an Amendment to the annual Address, proposed each session, as a mere matter of course, in the Peers and Commons —an Address in each instance simply echoin g the Ministerial oration delivered yearly (by way of inaugurating the labours of the Legislature) either ' by the lips, or in the name, of the Sovereign. The habitual harmony of these august proceedings being .;Rtred in upon discordantly last evening by the tisual MARPLOT of the Hour—the Patrician Cynic --Muter of Howick, and ex-Secretary of State for the Colonies ! Earl GREY thought the War with Persia unjustifiable. Of course Earl GREY thought the War with Persia unjustifiable, as he thinks everything in the wide world altogether unjusti fiable which does not happen to originate in the sagacious intellect, and the profound acumen, and the far-seeing patriotism of the Right Hon. HENRY GEORGE, third Earl GREY, Lord-Lieutenant and Custos-Rotulorum of Northumberland—and all the rest of it ! But last evening—going far beyond the more ordinary " bite and snarl" of his fretful rhetoric—Lord GREY indulged his captious and petulant temperament with a luxury a great deal more delightful—more thoroughly and substantially appetising than simply so much waspish taunt and cantankerous vitupera tion ! He boldly denounced the conduct of Ministers in advising the Crown t 3 declare war against the SHAH - , without first of all consulting Parliament, as—unconstitutional ! He not only declared the War itself to be, in his estimation, unjustifiable, and the policy of which it was ex pressive to beunconstltutional, but he considered the one so unjustifiable and the other so unconstitutional, that he actually went the extraordinary length of driving the House of Lords to a division upon his Amendment ! A division as unusual at the close of a debate upon the Address in answer to the Speech from the Throne, as the Amendment itself was but very little short of a flagrantly disloyal interference with the_Prerogative of the Crown ! It was an attempt, however, as abortive in its result, as it was unusual and disloyal in its cha racter. Earl GREY'S Amendment being rejected by a majority of thirty three in a House of fifty seven. The arrow fell blunted—the bullet flat tened—the sword blade snapped off at the hilt : every weapon filled, and the assailant was left in a position simply baffled and ridiculous. It is observ able,bowever, in regard to the prior quest ion involved in Earl GREY's abortive Amendment, that in the House of Peers not only he himself, hut with him the Earl of DERBY likewise—and that in the House of Commons both Mr. GLADSTONE and Lord JOHN RUSSELL—distinctly pronounced the declaration of war against Persia to be unconsti tutional, seeing that Parliament had not been previously consulted in regard to that war by the Chiefs of her MAJESTY'S Government ! An augury, we take this to be, of something very like (what we have heard of so often during the last. two or three Sessions) a factious Opposition. If Ministers were as much in the right upon other, questions as they are incon trovertibly upon this question as to the constitu tional or unconstitutional complexion of their policy in regard to Persia, they would have but small reason to look forward with any serious solicitude to the Future. As it is, however, the egregious failure in the present instance, we take it, is mainly, if not exclusively, attributable to the total misdirection of the blow aimed at the Administration. To prove effectual, the bolt hurled against their antagonists by the assail ants of the Government should in reason be driven home, at least, at some vulnerable chink in the Ministerial harness. Upon ,the next occasion we would recommend Lord GREY to look well —not to the stalwart shield or the adamantine breast plate of the Colossus—but tothe Heel of the I ACHILLES ! Notwithstanding the studied silence of the Royal Speech on all fiscal questions—notwith stmading that the existence of the iniquitous In come Tax, and the intense excitement of the public mind on the interesting subject was completely ignored, and no hint given as to an intended re duction or revision of the obnoxious impost, the question was brought prominently before the House, and no less than four notices placed on the books in reference therEte. First in the field came Mr. ArsuEv PELLATT, who gave notice that on the 13th instant he would move iu a Committee of the whole House, " to reduce the impost from 16d. to 53. in the pound, from the sth of April next." Major REED, in fulfilment of his volun tary pledge, gave a similar notice for Tues day next, but applying to the entire t 3X, which he proposes to termina t 3 from the 6th April next ; while Mr. MuNTz under took, on the 17th, to bring the Property and Income Tax Acts under the consideration of the House. So much for the independent members, who require not merely a reduction, but an ex tensive modification of the law, so as to render the appoitionmett more equitable—that it may fall on the contributors as nearly as possible in pro portion to their means and position in the country. But a still more formidable challenge has been given. The recognised Leader of Her MAJESTY'S Opposition in the popular branch of the Legisla ture, animated by the new alliance, offensive and defensive, contracted wi th a quondam opponent, has flung down his gage of battle, and formally defied ,the Government to meet him in the Parliamentary arena for a combat d routrance. There are some portions of the brilliant speech of the Right Hon. Gentleman with which we fully and cordially con cur, but others with which we are compelled to differ toto ccelo. It is impossible not to be con vinced, by his admirable argument against the fallacy put forward by the Chancellor of the Ex chequer and his haunchmen of Printing-Hou2e square, that no remonstrance is to be offered against a most oppressive and intolerable impost until the full amount of the Estimates have been decided and passed. On the other hand, he has flung aside a glorious opportunity, paying deaTly indeed for the GLADSTONE auxiliary force, that may prove mare detrimental to the interests of himself and his immediate party than the foreign mercenaries did to Great Britain during the late war. He avowed clearly and une quivocally his opinion that the settlement of 1853 should be adhered to. This indeed is deeply to be regretted. Mr. DISEAELI might triumphantly have appealed to his proposition iu December, 1852, recognising a distinction between permanent and precarious incomes, It was true that he did not go far enough in the course. But the prin ciple once being admitted the rest would have been comparatively easy, and this he has surrendered as the price of Mr. GLADSTONE'S cc-operation Henceforward there will be two leaders of the party, like the Kings of Brentford smelling at one nosegay. We fear that Mr. DISRAELI will have bitter cause to regretthe compact that secured him the aid of one dangerous as an opponent, but :till more formidable as a coadjutor —one who knows nothing of subordination, and who must carry out his own hobbies at any cost. On the first of his intended motions', that taxes granted for the purposes of carrying on hos tilities should not be maintained in peace time, he will obtain the cordial support of the independent members ; arid unless timely and ample concessions be made the Go vernment mnst be left in a minority. On the second he will receive the most strenuous opposi tion from every consistent reformer. As Maj REED declared, the reduction of the impost will be but the signal for exertion to obtain the modi fication so urgently required by the people. Sir G. C. LEWIS, if he wish to retain office, must con sent to the unravelling of the red-tapist knot by giving a full and complete explanation of the Ministerial intentions, in anticipation of the period when he should submit his Budget for the accept ance of Parliament. Silence must be accompanied by decisive defeat. May not that evil be averted by a frank and conciliatory policy on the point on which the people have set et to tb o e i i , r tai h n ea s r a t t s i , sf a a n ct d ion on ? which they are determined The paragraph in the Royal Speech respecting the law reforms so urgently the Lord Chancellor admittYedlroereciaxliciereeCii;ll;invg;guaes —the noble and learned andexplained the Som na ture of those already prepared,e others w hich will speedily be brought forwardTh in order is the Reform of the Testamentary Jurisdiction, first Jurisdiction, which , we trust, will be followed by the] total abolition of the Ecclesiastical Courts tribunals which have long been condemned with singular unanimity by men of all classes, and of every 'shade and variety of political opinion in the United Kingdom. Indeed, stripped of that which constitutes the most lucrative branch of practice theroin, it will no longer be wortk while to maintain the monopoly. The next is for the purpose of amending the Law cf Marriage and Divorce, and the third on the subject of Church Discipline. When these matters are disposed of the doors of these obnoxious Courts may be closed —and they will be remembered with the griev ances of bye-gone days. Our children will wonder at the patience with which the evil was so long endured by their fathers. The Attorney-General is also to introduce a bill in regard to criminal breaches of trust, so as to provide an adequate remedy for acts that have unfortunately become of too frequent occurrence of late years. With recent examples before our eyes we cannot say that stringent measures of repression are not urgently required, and we re joice to find that Sir R. BETUELL is prepared to grapple with the system, and to oppose some difficulties in the way of fraudulent Directors who may desire to appropriate to their own use the funds confided to their charge for very different purposes. The Commission appointed to inquire into the registration of land has prepared two bills to be laid before Parliament on the subject. A greater boon could not be conferred on the owners of real estate than a law that would facilitate the transfer or charg ing of their properties. We have long urged these points on the attention of the Legislature, and are happy to find that the subject is at length t 3 be brought forward. Of course it is impossible, as yet, to say whether the propositions will meet the full extent of the evil ; but the mere ventila tion of the subject will be exceedingly beneficial. Sound and unquestionable truths will be elicited during the discussion, .and we haie no doubt that eventually titles will be simplified, and rendered more secure, and that all proceedings relating to land will be rendered at the same time much cheaper, and far, more expeditious than is at pre sent practicable. The Second Report of the Commission for the Consolidation of the Statute Law is to be refer red to a Select Committee, in order to consider the propositions for the adoption of means to improve the manner and language of current legislation. This is indeed a much required amelioration. If judiciously carried out, it may avert that crude and hasty legislation so often deplored from the bench and at the bar, and which opposes serious impediments to the whole some administration of justice. Lord CRA.NWOETIE alio announced that the Criminal Law Commission has at length succeeded in consolidating the whole of the criminal law, and that bills similar to those which he laid on the table on the last day of the session of 1856 will be introduced for the purpose of effecting that consolidation. This is cheering intelligence, and the nation may rejoice if the important change can be effected within the present year. Vlis Home Secretary is also to introduce a bill on the subject of secondary punishments, respecting which so much excitement prevails in the public mind. We shall, of course, abstain from comment until his propositions are before Parliament and the country. This is an extensive and important programme, but there are still many deplorable omissions. No allusion has been made to commercial legisla tion, the 'necessity i hereof has been so clearly developed during the recent proceedings of the Law Amendment Society, and by the leading case of " KINGSFORD and SWINFORD v MERRY." His Lordship was also silent k 5 to any amendment of the law of libel, which the case of " DAVISON V. DUNCAN" shows to be imperative. We hope, however, that Lord CAMPBELL, who has already effected so many valuable reforms for the prot3c tion of public journalists, will direct his immediate attention to a matter which came directly under his own cognisance. There are other matters, also—the of im prisonment for - debt ; the amalgamation of the statutes relating to bankruptcy and insolvency ; the amendment of the Statute of Frauds', to pre vent serious frauds from being effected under cover thereof; and various other matters, to which our space this day does not permit roil:- rence. If not attended to by the Government, they will certainly be taken up by independent members ; and we can only expres3 a hope that their efforts may be assisted by Ministerial aid, in place of being thwarted and defeated, as has too frequently been the case in former times. The King of Sardinia has returned to To , in. The Emperor of Austria will rmt go to Florence, he returns from Milan direct to A ustria. The widow of the Right Hon. Henry Golbourn died a day or two ago, at Betci,worth Hous e , S urre y.' The health of the Earl of Harewuod continues to im prove. The Earl of Yarb)rongh has been appointed Lord- Lieutenant of Lincolnshire. The Duke and Dueness of R- xburgh and the Ladies Susan and Charlotte Innes Ksr have arrived at the Clarendon, from Broxmouth Park, N.B. The marriage of the Lord Alrred Churchill with the Hon. Miss Calthorpe will take place to-morrow, at St. George's Church, Hanover- , quare. Miss Ricardo bag returned to Grosvenor•place from Tctness Park. We are glad to learn this young lady is recovering from her late serious accident. There i 3 a whisper in the political salons of Paris that certain foreign Governments have supplied certain leading members of the Opposition with material to at tack Lord Palmerston's Government on a variety of questions. Tne French Government will, it is said, defray the whole expense of the sojourn of the Persian Ambas sador in Paris. The Duke of Montebello, a ci-devant Orleanist, is spoken of as the probable successor of M. de Moray at St. Petersburg. Despatches have left Paris, recalling the French troops and French squadron 'rom Greece. The specie which arrived at Southampton yesterday from the Peninsula amounted to 45,569/. sterling. Mr. Sullivan, the United States' Minister at Lisbon, arrived yesterday at Southampton in the Tagus. The 90th Regiment has received orders to embark next Saturday for India. The Black Ball ship Lightning will sail from Liver pool on Thursday next for Melbourne. Admiral Peter Richards has been appointed a com missioner of Greenwich Huspitil. The precise amount of specie shipped by the Ripon was. 971,3001. The Brazil mail steamer Tamar, having completed her repairs, left Vigo on the 31:41 The American frigate, Susquehanna, has quitted Nap • On Saturday a French vessel went on shore off Rye Harbour. Five persons last their lives by the inisfor tuae. There were upwards of 8,000 persons on the Serpen tine yesterday. The thermometer in the park at nine o'clock stood at 27 deg., and at noon it was 31 deg. The Rev. Mr. Gurney, of St. Mary's, Marylebone, has been appointed to the hen. canonry, of St. Paul's, vacated by the decease of the late Mr. Rowdier. The Strand and Holborn branches of the Royal British Bank were sold yesterday ; the former brought 6,1001., and the lease of the latter 2101. It may confidently be expected that the Sound dues will be abolished in time for the opening of the Baltic navigation in the spring. An American correspondent says, the new treaty with Em:lind has been favourably received, and is likely to be ratified by the Senate. The guardians of the West London Union yesterday determined to petition the Corporation for the establish ment of Baths and Washhouses on the site of Farringdon ➢Market. An inquest was held yesterday, at Manchester, on White, the weaver, who was stabbed by a man named Collins, on Saturday last. A verdict of wilful murder has been returned. ST.

THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY BULLION ROBBERY. Late on Monday evening Mr. Clark, the clerk of the Central Criminal Court, received a communication from Mr. Baron Martin directing him to make out an order upon Sir Richard Mayne for the Turkish bonds that were found in the possession of Pierce, one of the bullion robbers, to be delivered up to Mr. Rees, the solicitor of the South Eastern Railway, in trust for the benefit of Fanny Kay and her child. This proceeding is believed to be quite contrary to the understanding that was come to when the matter was argued in the Court of Exche quer Chamber last week, and it is said that the Corpora tion of London intend to resist the making of the order. HAYMARKET THEATRE. —Mr. Buckatone announces the last morning performance of the pantomime of " The Babes in the Wood" to-morrow (Thursday).

This evening (Wed nesday) will be the 1900Ja consecutive night of the sea son —an event that has never before occurred in any theatre, THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 4, 1857. LATEST NEWS. DRESDEN, TUESDAY. The French Ambassador here, the Baron de Forth-Rouen, has presented, with great ceremony, the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour to the King of Saxony. The reigning King► of Bavaria, Maximilian, has left Munich for Italy. He is to extend his journey to Athens, where he will remain for six weeks. MADRID, FEB. 2. The Queen is now visiting the Southern pro vinces of the kingdom, and it is feared that on her return she will adopt some rigorous measures. The best information, however, leads to the conclusion that these fears are entirely destitute of foundation. News has just arrived that the Neapolitan Government is anxious to Tesume friendly rela tions with England and France, and that the re presentatives of a great Power at Paris and Lon don have been employed to place the King's proposition regarding the exile of the political prisoners before the Cabinets of St. James's and the Tuileries. FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING. The Moniteur publishes the official return of the beetroot sugar manufactories for the season of 1856. During that time the number of estab lishments at work was 282, l: Bing nine more than in• the corresponding period of 1855. The quan tity of sugar manufactured was 53,979,866 kilo grammes, being 2,609,362 more than in the pre ceding season. BOURSE, Feb:.3.—The following were the last quotations : Cash. fr. c.

The Madrid journals of the 25th nit. are, like those of preceding days, devoid of in terest. A great quantity of snow bad fallen in the province of La Mancha as well as in Anda lusia. Letters from Melilla say that on the 11th ultimo, several Moors presented themselves at the Mantelete gate of that town on pretext of selling eggs, and that suddenly drawing pistols from beneath their dress they fired on - the sol diers on duty, killing two men and wounding a third, afteri which they took to flight. The soldiers who were unhurt returned their fire and wounded two of the men, but the Moors car ried them off. The detachment on duty at the guard• house immediately turned out, but the Moors were too far to be overtaken. In consequence of this affair it had been determined to admit no more Moors into the town. PRUSSIA. A letter from Berlin, in the Constitutionnel, says :—" The Grand Duchy of Baden has, it is raid, demanded from Prussia an indemnity of 30,000 florins for the military preparations which it had to make, in consequence of the dispute be tween Prussia and Switzerland. The Prussian government does not at all intend to comply with this demand. From the very commencement of the dispute, the Baden government claimed to be indemnified for all the preparations which the Grand Duchy might be compelled to make, in con sequenee of the projected hostilities." AUSTRIA. VIENNA, JAN. 31. Some important changes are about to be made in the military organisation of this Empire. The Arch duke Albrecht, who is at present Governor of Hun gary, will be placed at the head of the Military Central Chancellery, and the Archduke William will probably succeed his brother in Hungary. It is further related that the Archduke Albrecht will, as President of the Supreme Military Commando, have a seat and voice in the Cabinet. A Commission, compared of Hungarians who enjoy the confidence of the Emperor, is now employed in drawing up a statement of the most imperative wants of the pro vince of Hungary. It may be considered certain that a general amnesty will very soon be granted to the Hungarian political offenders. A letter from Vienna, in the Nuremburg Corres pondent, says :—" Ministers have received de spatches from Paris, which describe the prepara tory negotiations taking place, under the auspices of the Emperor Napoleon, between Dr. Kern and the Prussian Minister, Count de Elatzfeld. It ap pears that the conference, which will meet in Paris in the middle of February, will only be called upon to confirm the arrangements concluded in advance." ITALY. The discussion on the Public Instruction Bill continues in the Chamber of Deputies at Turin. In the sitting of the 30th ult., on the 12th article, which enacts that the Supreme Council of Public Instruction is to be composed of 10 ordinary and five extraordinary Councillors appointed by the King, M. Menabrea moved that the Councillors should be named by election. This amendment was lost after an animated discussion. In the sit ting of the following day all the paragraphs of Art. 12 were voted but one relating to the salaries of the Councillors, the discussion being adjourned to the following sitting. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(This Day.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. - - On the motion of Mr. OLIVEIRA, leave wasgiven for the introduction of various private bills, among them was a bill to cnabl3 the 'Metropolitan Bard of Works to make the proposed new street from the Borough to the West-end. Mr. Oliveira, it would appear from this, has succeeded the late Mr. Brotherton, as the mover of the private bills through the different stages. INCOME TAX. Petitionswere presented from Leicester, Staff or d, Ply m pton, St. Mary, Huntingd on , B ris t o l, C ar l ow , Newbury, Wokinghaui, Swanse a , Wells, Hackney, and other places, against the property and income tax. THE ADDRESS. Sir J. RAMSDEN brought up the report on the Address in reply to the Royal Speech. On the motion that the Address be read a second time, Mr. HADFIELD complained of the manner in which communications were made to the house in Royal Speeches, and also of the absence of any sympathy of feeling being expressed in such iocuments towards oar colonial fellow subjects. Proper attention was not paid to them, and he instanced the state of India, a vast country, that produced but few raw articles for our consumption, whilst our trade had greatly increased ; and he instanced our neglect of the cultivation of cotton in that country. The necessity of a cheap and plentiful supply of cotton was essentially necessary, when they considered that the increase of our trade since 1852 had caused the erection of 737 mills and the en largement of others. He called attention also to the want of silk, and the immense sums paid to China for that article. British capital was kept out of India from the uccertainty of the tenure of land and the want of a fee simple in that country. Encouragement ought to be given to the manufactures of this country, and he said that the consumption of our mills last year was at the rate of 43,000 bales of cotton per week, whilst at the close of the year there were but 281,000 bales of cotton at Liverpool, only equivalent to six weeks' consumption of the mills of the country. The hon. gentleman then referred to our dependence onAmerica, and the evils that might result to our trade from any change of feeling be tween the two countries, and contended that it was as unjust to I n di a as i t was un j us t an d injurious to the trade of this country that facilities were not given for the cultivation of cotton in India. Admiral WALCOTT gave his commendation to the caution, celerity, and efficiency that had actuated the Government o f B om b ay w i t h re f erence to P ers i an affairs, and bor e hi s testimony to t h e courage , zea l, an d ability displayed by t h e army an d navy in that affair. With regard to the China attack, he considered that Admiral Seymour had used all the forbearance consistent with the circumstances, but he regretted that he had not had a better foe to contend against, for it was very much like using a sledge-hammer with which to crush flies. After some remarks from Sir J. FITZGERALD, Mr. V. SMITH said that in reply to the statement of the hon. member for Sileffield relative to the growth of cotton in India, he could not add anything to what he said last night on the subject. He was at a loss to un derstand the object and meaning of the hon. member with regard to it, and a dd e d that every encouragement was given to its growth in that country. It was not the duty of Gov ernment to undertake the cultivation of cotton, but give inducements to men of enterprise to undertake it, and that the Government would do. After a few words from Mr. A. KINNAIRD, The Addreis wai read a second time and agreed to. JUDGMENTS EXECUTION, &a. Mr. CRA.WFORD obtained leave to bring in a bill to render judgments or decreets obtained in certain courts in England, Scothnd and Ireland, respectively, effectual in any other part dthe United Kingdom. KITCHEN AND REFRESHMENT ROOMS (HOUSE OF COMMONS ) On the motion of Col. FRENCH, the Standing Com mittee to control th e arrangements o f th e k i tchen and refreshment room i n t h e d epartmen t o f the sergeant-at - arms attending this house, consisting of Colonel French, Colonel Dunne, M r . H ayter, C o l on el Boldtro, Mr. Archibald Hastie, Mr. Seymour Fitzgerald, and Mr. Home, was agr ee d t o. The house adjourned at halfpast one o'clock. The EGnior prize scholarship at King's College, for general literature, has been awarded to Mr, Hudson, formerly of StAkwell Grammar-school. MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, and, compared with Friday's rates, prices of all kinds were unchanged, except Egyptians, which were id. per pound dearer. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken for export, and 1,800 on speculation. The Rail way Share Market was rather active, and prices had an upward tendency. Accounts from Constantinople, dated the 23d ultimo, state that the Sultan had approved of the proposed Bank, of which Mr. Wilkins is the repre sentative. Notwithstanding the large amount of specie which leaves for India and China to-day, viz., 971,3281., it is expected that the shipment on the 20th instant will also be heavier than usual, and preparations appear to have been already commenced by the continued drain of gold from the Bank of England. About 20,0001. was withd rawn yes t er d ay, an d consider able anxiety is therefore evinced for the arrival of the Heather Bell from Australia. She has now been out about 94 days, and is therefore much overdue. There is temporarily an increased demand for money, owing to the payments having to be made to-day, the "fourth" of the month. In consequence of this additional pressure, rather fuller rates are charged for accommodation, but the supply of capi tal continues ample. The following particulars of the Vessels now on the berth for Australia, New South Wales, Van Diemen's Land, &c., has been furnished by Mr. Miller, of the Jerusalem Coffee-house : Vessels. Tons. Launceston Hobart Town Sydney Melbourne, Geelong, and Port land Bay Adelaide Swan River and Freemantle ... 2 Auckland, Wellington, Nelson, New Plymouth, andj Canter bury 5 Total From the manufacturing districts the letters re ceived this morning report no particular alteration in the sbate of trade, which remains steady, but quiet. At Manchester there is an increased de mand for goods suitable for India and China, but in other descriptions the business is dull. The woollen markets of Leeds are quieter, but prices are firm. At Nottingham the lace trade is rather inactive, but a change for the better is soon expected. The Board of Trade returns for the month and 12 months ended the 31st December have not yet been issued, being much later than usual. The market for English Securities is decidedly firmer, but the transactions are very limited, owing to the settlement of the speculative ac count, which is proceeding satisfactorily. Some support has been given to prices by the Queen's Speech, which, on the whole, is considered encouraging. Consols have been 93i and 931 for money and to-morrow, and about 93a for the March account. The new 3 per Cents, are 93a I, the Reduced 931 a, and Long Annuities 2i. Exchequer Bills continue at a pre mium of ls. to 25., and the Bonds are 98i The few transactions reported in the Foreign Market have generally been at fuller ptices. Tur kish 6 per Cents, are 93i to 94, and the 4 per Cents. 101, being both higher. Spanish 3 per Cents., Deferred, are steady, at 23i, and the Certificates at 61 Venezuela Active Bonds are marked 374, the Deferred 15, and Portuguese 3 per Cents. 43k. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6i 7 ; Mexi can, 21i ; Peruvian, 77 79 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 54 56 ' • Portuguese 3 per Cent s ., 43 5 ; R uss i an 5 per Cents., 107 9 ; ditto 41i- per Cents., 95 7 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 40 40i ; ditto New Deferred, 23i 24 ; ditto Certificates, 6i ; ditto Passive, 52 6. The Railway Share Market has exhibited rather more firmness, and a general advance of about ± per cent. may be quoted in the values of the principal lines. Caledonian have risen 12s. 64. East Lancashire, ss. to 10s. ; Great Western, ss. • Lancashire and Yorkshire, Sc. to 10s.; North-Western, 55.; Mid land, Sc.;North-Eastern Berwick, 11. ; ditto York, 10s.; and Shropshire Union, 10s. The French and. Canadian lines are very little dealt in, but quota tions aro firm. East India, Madras, and Scinde realise previous values. British Mining Shares rule dull, but one or two of the chief undertakings have been at advanottd rates. Devon Great C insols improved about 81. to 10/. For Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares there is little inquiry, and quotations show no material alteration. BRITISH :YUNDS.—CLOSING PRICES —THIS DAY.
