ing prevailed generally, although business Was

and declined a little towards the afternoon, but
closed very firm at the highest rates of the day.

The following appeared in our later editions
of yesterday :

The hinds opened at a fresh fall of per cent., and
subsequently sustained a further decline of like amount.
In the afternoon, however, a good effect was produced
by the spectacle of the calmness with which the im-
portant financial changes of the last few days have been
received by the public, and a rally occurred; the final
quotations were h to i per cent. below those of yester-
day. Nearly all other classes of securities were
prejudiced to a greater or less extent, but the closing
quotations generally showed a recovery from the lowest
point of the day. In the discount market 7 per cent.
was the rate generally asked for good bills, blit the
demand was only moderate. At the Bank of England
the applications were to a fair extent. The improve-
ment in the continental exchanges diminishes the fear
of any efflux of gold thither, unless the Bank of France
be again pressed upon.—Daily News' City Article.
The applications for discount at the Bank were again
comparatively moderate, the supply being good in the
open market at the existing rate, and occasionally at a
fraction below it. The joint-stock banks allow 5 per
cent. on deposits ; the discount establishments, 5 per
cent. for money at call, and from sto with seven
days' notice. In the foreign exchanges the further
advance in the Bank rate made the takers of bills more
cautious, and a rise was established upon the principal
points. About £lOO,OOO in bar gold was bought by the
Bank, and from £70,000 to £BO,OOO in sovereigns was
withdrawn for America. One parcel of 30,000 sovereigns,
taken out in the morning for exportation to New York,
was brought back in the afternoon. The steamer sail-
ing with the Bombay mail on Saturday is expected to
carry £350,000. Gold is now about the same price at
Parts and London ; it is not quite 1-10th per cent.
dearer in London than at Hamburg. The course of
exchange at New York on London for bills at sixty
days' sight being about 104 per cent., there is a profit
on sending. gold to the United States. The English
funds opened at a decline of -} from the low prices of
yesterday, and subsequently experienced a further fall
on account of the movement of the Bank of France.
Considerations as to the wisdom of this step subse-
quently produced greater confidence. After some fluc-
tuation the railway market closed at about the same
quotations as the previous day. The last price from
Paris showed a further fall of nearly '2„ per cent. in the
Three per Cent. Rentes.—Times' City Article.
The marked difference lately observed between the
prices of American securities here and those current in
New York has now' been effaced.

The payment nt-• thjcliviCle7cfs-at the Bank commences
to-day, when the chief advances made by the Bank
during the shutting will be repaid. The amount for
bills is understood to be moderate ; but with respect to
stock, through the recent demand for money, the total
will prove much larger than usual.
The Chronicle's city article says there is'seme expec-
tation of the Bank ofEngland rate being further advanced
on Thursday next (to-morrow) to 8 per cent., in conse-
quence of the rise in that at Paris.
The monthly return of the Bank of France will be
published on Friday. According to some reports, which
require verification, the bulliom Islas decreased from
£17,000,000 to about £14,000,000.
The liabilities of Whistler and Cd!, wholesale grocers,
suspended last week, are ascertained to be £19,170, and
their assets £ll,OOO. The Bankruptcy Court will most
probably be resorted to.
The eft et upon the produce markets through the
altered value of money is gradually increasing.

IMPROVEMENT 1N GENTLEMEN'S HATS.

TITHEBARN-STRF.ET, LITERPOOL.

GENTLEMEN —I have given your Patent Easy-fitting Hat a
fair trial, and I must say it is the most comfortable hat I ever
wore, particularly when crossing the water in a windy day,
when with the old style of hat I invariably had a headache,
which with your new style is not the case. I can, therefore,
safely recommend it to any one, particularly to those subject
to headache.—l am, gentlemen, yours truly.

I have worn for some time one of the Patented Easy-fitting
Hats sold by Mr. —, and I can testify to the advantage
derived from the absence of that unpleasant pressure, particu-
larly on the forehead, usually felt from the hats generally worn.
House, Cheltenham. (Signed) —.

is not given for obvious reasons.

fringement of my Patent.

GOOD BOOKKEEPING is a great desideratum to all tradesmen
many of whom have been ruined from a want of knowledge on
this subject. Those persons who are entirely ignorant, and
those who are only partially acquainted with an efficient
system, will see from the advertisement that Mr. Thompson,
the writing writer, will begin the new year by opening new
classes for bookkeeping.

SCROFULA AND ITS Cuna.—lt has been contended by many
that this disease is incurable ; that there are remedies which
mittht mitigate the disease for a time, but that eventually it
will again assume its sway. Such arguments were all very
true until the discovery of Holloway's Ointment and Pillr, but
it has been incontestibly proved that these remedies have
effected thousands of cures with the greatest ease and success.
The Pills being composed entirely of vegetable substances, and
the Ointment containing such powerful healing properties, the
two combined act so in unison upon the system that the old
ideas of the incurability of this potent disease has been entirely
set aside, and the power of these remedies universally admitted.

NEWS OF THE DAY.

The Etna, which arrived at Queenstown yes-
terday, has brought advices from New York down
to the 29th ultimo—three days later than any
previous arrival. The troops of South Carolina
have taken possession of Fort Moultrie and Castle
Pinckney, as well as the custom-house, post-office,
and arsenal of Charlestown, but without any oppo-
siton from the troops of the Federal Government.
This extraordinary posture of affairs has been
the subject of deliberation by the President (Mr.
Buchanan) and his Cabinet, but the meeting
broke up without arriving at any decision on
the subject ; and the Senate Committee on
the crisis has been equally unsuccessful
in agreeing upon any basis of action for the
adjustment or removal of existing difficulties.

Probably matters might be somewhat mended by
the immediate withdrawal of Mr. Buchanan from
the Presidency, he having committed himself to
a course of neutrality which is obviously out of
place at the present Moment.

It is stated that some despatches of extra-
ordinary importance were yesterday sent from the
Tuileries to the French Ambassador in London;
by a special messenger; but no clue whatever is
given as to the eubjcet matter of their contents.

It will be seen froin the natrati've given elsewhere
of the court of enquiry; Which has heeti sitting
upon the ‘casb of 'Caitlin Styles, one of the agents
ef thu Legionaries, that the curtain has fallen
most ingloriously on the career of this individual.
An inquiry was opened on Tuesday evening,
before Mr. Carter, coroner for East Surrey, into
the death of the stableman named Jarvey or
Smith, who was killed by one of the perform-
ing lions at Astle.y's Theatre on Monday morn-
ing: All the three lions—one female .and two .
males—had forcibly effected their escape froni
the iron cage by breaking or bending some of
the bars; and Were; in fact; roaming at large
through the place when the Unfortunate man,
in the exercise of his duties, fell into the
' clutches of one of them, and so lost his life.
The exhibitor of the lions, Mr. Crockett, acted
with extraordinary resolution and courage on
the occasion, going in unattended, and rescuing
the body of the poor fellow from further mutila-
tion. After hearing some evidence; the jury
exprested a Wish hi haVe a medical examination
for the purpose of knolving the precise cause of
death, and the investigation was accordingly
adjourned. An application was made to the
Lambeth police magistrate yesterday, with the
view of suppressing the performances in which
these animals are introduced on the stage, when
it was suggested that the Lord Chamberlain's
department Was the proper quarter to which the
matter should be referred.

We are glad to learn that there is every likeli-
hood of another manifestation of Conservative
reaction taking place in connection with the
vacancy in the representation of the borough of
Leicester. At the last election Mr. Heygate, the
Conservative candidate, was defeated by only 20
votes, and this notwithstanding that that gentle-
man appeared in the field only at the eleventh
hour. This time no such delay is to take place,
and there seems to be no reasonable doubt that
that' the borough of Leicester will in its turn
break off its connection with Radicalism.
