THE FUNDS.

The English market was firmer to-day, and Consols, in-
fluenced by monerpurchases, experienced, towards the close,
a slight advance. Railway Shares were rather depressed in
the forenoon, but eventually rallied, with the exception of
Great Northern Stocks, which close lower. Land and Bank
Shares generally more active, but have not materially altered.
Foreign Securities generally weak. Sales of Turkish were
'freely made this morning, and prices temporarily declined,
but at the close they showed an advance on the lower rates of
Saturday.

LoNnoic Cosa MARKET.—(From Kingsford and Lay's Cir-

limited, and the little business transacted was at the prices of

and Peas are unaltered. Oats slow of sale, at ed. to is.
cheaper for all but the finest qualities. A small consumptive
demand for Flour at the rates of this day week.

HOUSE OF LORDS'.

MONDAY.

Their lordships met at five o'clock.
The Royal Assent was given, by commission, to 37 public
and private bills, among them were the Raglan Annuity Bill,
Friendly Societies' Bill, Burial Grounds' (Scotland) Bills, Bills
of Exchange and Promissory Notes' Bill, and the Bill for the
Amalgamation of the Liverpool and Birkenhead Dodo,

The Public Libraries' and Museum Bill passed through
committee.
The Piers and Harbours' (Scotland) Bill was read the 2nd
time.
The Coal Mines' Inspection Bill passed through committee,
with amendments.
The. Earl of AIRLIE asked Lord Panmure whether govern-
ment had lately received any information respecting the war
in Asiatic Turkey. He described the position of the bellige-
rent forces in the vicinity of Kars, and pointed out the peril
in which the Turkish army was understood to be placed.
There was reason to believe that the Russian army might be
enabled to act with considerable effect ; and, indeed, as the
Black Sea was closed up against her, and every field of action
shut, she had every motive for risking a great blow. Should
it go forth to the tribes of Asia that the united power of Eng-
land and France was unable to resist the power of Russia, the
consequences might be extremely serious.
The Earl of CLARENDON said government were fully alive
to maintaining in Asia the spirit of resistance to Russian
aggression. With this view General Williams had been ap-
pointed to the command of the Turkish forces, and he had no
doubt that, by his spirit and vigour, Kars would be put into
an efficient state of defence. The last information was down
to the 23rd ult. It stated that the Russians had advanced
within range of the batteries at Kars, but they had been re-
pulsed with loss. He was enabled, on the authority of Gen.
Williams, to contradict the report that the Turkish army was
demoralized. Its spirit, on the contrary, is excellent, as the
men had been supplied with arms on their own demand, and
were always obedient to their officers. There was no appre-
hension of Kars being taken by a coup de main
The Merchant Shipping Bill passed through committee,
after much discussion.

The Religious Worship Bill was, after a debate, read a third
time and passed.
.. _

The oilier orders were disposed of, and the house adjourned
at 20minutes past 8 p.m.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

MONDAY.

The house met at 12 o'clock p.m.

On the motion of Mr. HATTER, a new writ was ordered
for the borough of Southwark, in the room of Sir W. Moles-
worth, appointed Secretary of State for the Colonies.
NUISANCES REMOVAL BILL.

The Nuisances Removal Bill was read the third time, and
on the question that it do pass, Mr. CHILD moved the fol-
lowing proviso to clause 45:—"-the provisions of the Act
shall not extend or be construed to extend to mines of dif-
ferent descriptions, so as to interfere with or obstruct the
efficient working of the same, or to the efficient working of
the same, or to the smelting of ores and minerals, or to the
manufacturing of the produce of such ores and minerals."
Mr. Mitchel and Mr. Dilwen opposed the amendment.
SIR G. GREY opposed it, on the ground that there was no
reason why mines should be excepted from the operation of
the bill, and also on the ground that the bill would not inter-
fere vexatiously with those trades.
Mr. Muntz, Mr. Jackson, Mr. Wilkinson, and Mr. Pellal
supported the proviso.
Lord R. Grosvenor and Sir B. Hall opposed it.
The House then divided—
For the provisio.....
Against it
Majority against the government ...
The bill was then passed.
The Metropolitan Buildings Bill passed through committee
