THE PEACE NEGOCIATIONS.

The Morning Post's Paris correspondent writes on Sunday
morning—" The fact of Russia having accepted the Austrian
ultimatum will not suspend the council of war. The Em-
peror will preside on Monday at an early hour."
The Frankfort Jaurnal, an official organ, has as article
which does not favor the idea that Europe will shortly enjoy
a permanent peace, originating from the present overtures.
The Times' Paris correspondent writes on Sunday evening,
that on the whole, so far as he can ascertain, the French Go-
vernment is convinced that the chances are most decidedly
for peace. It is certain that they consider the objects of the
war as completely attained.

The Times' Vienna correspondent reports that Prince
Gortschakoff's behaviour has given great offence to the

Emperor.

THE FUNDS, STOCK, AND SHARE MARKET.
In the English Funds the sales preponderated, and caused
a decline in Consols, but later in the day there was a visible
tendency to rally. Railways also less firm, though there was
still an active business transacted. Land, Bank, and Foreign
Stocks a degree lower. Turkish closed heavily.

LONDON CORN MARKET.— (From Kingsford and Lay's
Circular).—The supply of wheat from Essex and Kent is
small, but some portion of last week's having been refused—
the condition being fully 3s. per qr. worse—the whole made a
good show. The offers made by millers were 6s. to Bs. below
the prices of this day week, which factors were not inclined to
accept, and the major part remained unsold. Business in
foreign almost nominal ; a few sales effected were at a decline
of 2s. Barley, 2s. to 3s. cheaper. Top price of Town-made
Flour is reduced to 70s. Country Marks, 3s. to 4s. per sack
lower, and the little business in barrels was at a decline of
about 2s.
