Last price of Console yesterday, 911 for Money and 911 1 for February 7th, and 92 to for March 11th. The opera tions of the day were to a fair extent, but money was scarce, and loans on stock were in demand at 6 per cent. The belief in peace continues to gain strength, and in well-informed quarters there is an impression it will be concluded before Taster. About £200,000 of the gold brought by the Champion of the Seas has been taken to the Bank of England. The re. ataining £300,000, it is presumed, will all be sent to Paris 14 Course of the week. The Cabinet Council sat two hours yesterday. The Morning Advertiser received last night from a variety of quarters, some of them usually well informed, a report to the effect that it is intended to propose the adjournment of the House for a fortnight after the Address to Her Majesty has been carried. The ground for so doing, it is added, is that, were Parliament sitting, questions might be put to 3linisters which would interfere with the peace negociatione at Paris. The steamer Belgique remains at Southampton, her con dition is most lamentable ; she is so badly built that her keeping afloat so long is a matter of surprise. The passengers are in an un fortunate position, and can obtain no redress fat their detention. EASTERN COUNTERS RAILWAY. — There will be a majority of from five to six thousand votes, representing about £600,000, in favour of the amendment upon the resolution moved in behalf of the committee of investigation. THE WAR. Letters from the Crimea to the 15th instant have arrived. The demolition of the docks proceeds. 8,000 lbs. of powder were employed in one explosion. The result was very satis- factory. The • Russian batteries were silent. The weather was variable. Letters• from Kertch to the Bth inst. contain nothing of Importance. The ice had begun to break up, and the thaw would prevent a Russian attack. PARTICIPATION OF PRUSSIA IN THE PEACE NEGOCIATIONS. The correspondent of the Morning Post, under date Berlin, Jan 213, says :—" The participation of Prussia in the negocia tions for peace and the conferences is considered almost cer• tain—France having renounced its opposition, and England alone still raising some difficulties." EXPECTED ATTACK ON ERZEROUM. Omar Pasha will soon disembark at Trebizond, and as soon as the weather shall have improved, he will march on Erie• num. Moukli Pasha has been despatched to organise the defence of the latter place, where 20,000 men are now con centrated. General Williams has get out for Moscow, where he will re• main a prisoner. The Morning Post, in a leader headed, "Is there to be peace or war neat spring ?" discusses the questions likely to be brought under consideration. It confesses it can see for Russia no such hope in the future as to lead it to think she is not seriously earnest in her wish for peace on any terms that Europe may recognise as not unreasonable. If the Allies do not suspend their preparations, she has no resource but to sign their terms of peace. THIRD EDITION. STMIDARD-017ICE, JAN. 29, Two P.Y. (By Electric Telegraph.)

A s Constantinople letter of the 17th, states that, it was thought that the negotiations opened by the Porte to remove the difference between Mr. Murray and the Persian govern• went, would, in a few days, be brought to a successful issue. THE PEACE NEGOCIATIONS. The Times' Vienna correspondent writes,, that a French diplomatist had stated that the propositions were so thoroughly discussed by the English and French Governments, before they were sent back to Austria, that both Powers are morally bound to consider them conditions of their own making. The prospect of peace has produced an almost instantaneoul effect in all the commercial . harbours of France in cotton and colonial articles, and gave rise to extensive transactions at Havre, Nantes, Bordeaux, and Marseilles. A similar move. meat took place in the industrial districts. LEEDS CORN MARKET.—Tura Dir. The supply of grain was small. Wheat meets a moderato consumptive demand at about the rates of Friday. Barley held for full prices. Oats and Beans a limited sale. Other articles unaltered. 1 LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—Tme DAT. Our supplies of all the leading articles of the trade have been considerably increased since the middle of last week, the thief additions being in Egyptian Wheat, American, Indian Corn, and American Flour. The renewed steadiness noticed last week applied more par. ticularly to the provincial markets of the kingdom. At the dose the tendency in most of the country districts was towards improvement, and growers are represented as averse to meet reduced prices with free supplies. In many of the out ports, however, business still remains exceedingly dull, and Hark-lane being reported equally inactive, we had yesterday here, in the face of a large weekly import and somewhat in creased shipments advised from the United States, an almost entire suspension of transactions. Wheat and Flour, though held for previous rates, might have been bought on easier terms ; and Indian Corn fell ls. per qr.; a few sales only in the merest retail being practicable. At the market to•day little nit:no business was done, there being a general disinclination to purchase, notwithstanding that holders were willing to accept lower prices. Wheat may be quoted fully 2d per 701 b. and Flour per barrel lower. Oatmeal is quite a urug, and at least 1.. per load cheaper. For Indian Corn no inquiry, and quotatios reduced Is. to tk• per quarter. In other articles a similar i- activity. 1111Missrsoot. s rituted esd blisted r.
