The following opptated tin our later editions
of rsteraity
The funds were heavy, and closed at a decline of
per cent. Amongst the features which contributed to
the decline were the continued unfavourable accounts
from America, the organised resistance to the income-
tax in India, and the reversal in the semi-official Paris
press of discussions respecting the probable course of
events in Northern Italy next spring. Some effect was
also produced by the increased demand for money. On
the other band, there were rumours that Austria is not
indisposed-to make concessions with regard to Venetia.
British railway stocks in several instances declined. In
the discount market the demand was decidedly brisk,
and there were signs of diminution in the supply of
money. There were a few transactions at lf per cent.,
but in most quarters the full Bank rate was insisted
anon.—Daily News City Article.
T re- English funds have been dull from a variety of
causes ; they opened at a decline of 8, and subsequently
experienced a further fall. The news from Bombay of
the organised resistance on the part of the great body of
native tribes to the income-tax, and of the unsatisfactory
state of the army in that presidency, constituted the
chief reason for the prevailing heaviness. The tendency
to depression on the Paris Bourse, coupled with the
covert intimations given to Austria that she must con-
sent to sell Venetia or be prepared for a new war in the
spring, likewise had some effect, and finally the market
was influenced by a sudden and considerable increase in
the demand for loans on Government securities. The
rate for advances in the Stock Exchange was 4 per cent.,
at which there was an active demand. In the afternoon
the requirements increased, and applications were then
made to the Bank, where the Minimum charge is 5 per
cent. In the discount market also the demand was
active. About £20,000 in bar gold was taken from the
Bank. It is expected that the Australasian .Cunard
steamer on Saturday will take out some more gold to
New York.—Times City Article.

The railway market remains intrinsically good, but
some depression was caused yesterday, partly by sales to
close speculative accounts preparatory to the holidays.
Most of the leading stocks left off a I to i per cent.
lower. Grand Trunk of Canada Railway stock ex-
perienced a renewed decline of fully 1 per cent. yesterday
on the publication of the report of the Committee of
Bondholders.

Further proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court in the
case of Lawrence, Mortimore, and Co., stand adjourned

riCHE following Correspondence, between Lord
Palmerston and the BUTTERMAN, explains itself :

No. 1.

War-office, London, 10th Dec., 1860.

DEAR. KELLY,—The Duke of Cambridge requests me
to learn if you are prepared to ship on board the. Chi-,
nese junk See-min-y-kre-key, in the George's Dock,
ten tons of YELLOW, at £73 per ton, for the use of
the British army, wintering in Pekin. Paymento)n_

promptly.—Yours, as heretofore,
PALMERSTON,'

No. 2.

The Butter Place, Liverpool, llthikc., 1860.

All right, My Lord—l accept your terms—the Butter
shall be shipped—Bronze is the very thing. I want—l'll
give you gold or notes for any you have to spare.
Yours, as usual,
KELLY THE BUTTERMAN.

No. 3.
FROM PALMERSTON TO KELLY.

War Office, 12th Dec., 1860.

KELLT,—You're a brick, all the year round. You
must knoW that the new coinage did not go off so
freely as we wished (all because we did not introduce
your style of a double T) ; several bankers refused it
even at a discount of 10 per cent. ; the Chinese order
was merely a feeler; and your reply has given great
pleasure up here.
On submitting it to the Duke, he was so delighted
with your "pluck" that he would bring it under the
notice of her Majesty, who said (to the best of my
recollection)—
"Belly is a good subject—worthy of a place in
"enterprising Liverpoo!. Let him, therefore, not
" ship any Better to China, but supply it, ' as before,'
"to my worthy people—of England; and send hina
half a ton of the new Bronze, with thanks from me."
Accordingly, you lucky dog, I send the half-ton of
Bronze (viz., £250), per night train, 1,. and N. NV. R. ;
you'll have it to-morrow; acknowledge receipt; and
don't tell how you got it.

Yours as formerly,

PALMERSTON.

NEWS OF 'ME DAVY.

There is no additional news from China, excepting
that General Montauban's alcount of the capture of
Pekin, which is published in the llioniteur, differs in
some respects from the English version of the sacking of
the Emperor's palace. The General states that there
was an equal division of the whole of the booty between
the allied forces engaged. We are glad to hear it.
There is no European foreign news of importance.
The Calcutta papers say that the disbandment
of the sth Bengal Europeans followed immediately
the military execution. The prisoner marched round
the square in rear of his coffin, and was sbot dead
at the first volley. He acknowledged the justice -of his
sentence, and met his death with manly resignation.
Scarcely had this terrible scene been enacted when, at
an order from Brigadier Welchman, C. 8., the 73rd foot
moved up in front of the sth Europeans, the artillery
loaded with grape on either flank. The sth were then
commanded to order arms, then to pile arms. They
obeyed, and were at once marched some short distance
clear of the pile. No sooner were they quite clear than
two companies of the 73rd, filing rapidly to the spot,.
intervened between the sth and their arms so as to pre-
vent the possibility of any rush to recover them. When
this had been accomplished the Brigadier read out an
order pronouncing the doom of the regiment. It was
struck out of the army list; all its non-commissioned
officers were reduced. to the ranks, and the men, divided
into five equal portions, were draughted into the five
remaining regiments of the Bengal army—men with
medals on their breasts, who had fought England's
battles all over the world. Many of the old soldiers who
had been draughted from the old Bengal and from royal
regiments appeared to be utterly heartbroken; and
sobbed aloud. The Calcutta Englishman pays a high
compliment to Sir Hugh Rose for the energetic prompt'.
ness with which he has encountered and quelled this
fresh mutinous movement among the European troops ;
and congratulates India on at length having the good
fortune to possess a commander-in-chief who is equal to
the •' situation ;" but these sentiments are deprived of
the greater part of 'their weight, in consequence of their:
being expressed at the expense both of Earl Canning.
and Lord Clyde, whose conduct and acts have not suc-
ceeded in meeting the approval of the conductors of the
paper referred to.
It is announced that the directors- of. the Atlantic
,Telegraph Company have determined, at their own
expense, to keep the undertaking afloat, in the hope that
at same future time'the capital required for the renewal
of its operations will be provided.
The court-martial on the loss of her Majesty's ship
Perseverance has closed. The court adjudged Com-
mander Power to be severely reprimanded, and to lose .
one year's rank. The master was also severely repri-
manded, and ordered to lose three years' rank. The,
court commended the conduct of the other officers and
crew,

The interesting ceremony of presenting the freedom
of the city of London to Lord. Clyde and Sir J. Outram on
Thursday evening, was followed by a magnificent banquet
_at the Mansion House. Sir J. Outram was prevented
attending from indisposition. The Duke of Cambridge,
in acknowledging the toast of the army, said it was in a
more efficient state for defensive purposes than it had
been for many years. Captain Sir F. M'Clintock spoke
on behalf of Lord Elcho, who had been named in the
toast in compliment to the volunteer force, and said there
were many little ways -in which the dovernment could
assist it, and such assistance would be gladly accepted.
The water in the London parks is frozen over, and
the skating commenced yesterday. There has been a
severe snow storm in Hampshire and along the south
coast. The snow fell for nearly sixteen hours, without
intermissson. Trains were - stopped on the So.uth-
Western Railway. The fire boxes of the engines
became choked, as the snow was five feet deep in some
places. In this neighbourhood the frost steadily con-
con-
tinues, but there has been no further fall of snow as yet.
Her Majesty has contributed 100 guineas to the fund
in aid of the distressed riband weavers-of Coventry and
its neighbourhood.
Her Majesty and the Royal party returned to Windsor
from Aldershott on Thursday afternoon. In consequence
of the a heavy fall of snow, the parade of the troops
ordered was countermanded,
It is now placed beyond doubt that the projected
Turkish loan is a complete failure in London, and it
would appear that its prospects are scarcely any better
at Paris.

It has been resolved that the Stock Exchange shall
be closed on Monday next, and the day is expected to
- be observed as a holiday in all departments of business.
Lord Palmerston presided, on Wednesday, at the
meeting of the Romsey association for the encourage-
ment of labourers, and addressed them at considerable
length in delivering the prizes.
The following strange occurrence is related by the
London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian :
"The Marquis of D---'s ( ? Downahire) yacht, now
at Naples, has been the scene of one of those tragedies
of real life which we are apt to think, in these dead-
level days, lie far away from the region of real life, in
the domain exclusively appropriated by the dramatist
and the tale miter. The Marquis had been for
some time cruising with some members of his
family, including a youthful daughter, Lady Alice
The yacht was commanded by a half-pay
Lieutenant of the Royal Navy. The Marquis
coming on board unexpectedly, from an excursion
on shore, if I am rightly informed, found his captain at
the feet of his daughter, kissing her hand. The indig-
nant father—a man of Herculean strength—seized the
offender, and, let it be hoped, intending only to tear
him away from his unseemly place and action, flung
him over the bulwark of the yacht into the sea, when
he went down at once, in spite—add some of the
versions of the story—both of the Marquis's and his
sailors' efforts to save him. I would hesitate," says the
narrator, "to repeat a story so like the invention of a .
French romance writer had I not such information from
persons just returned from Naples as leaves me satisfied
of its substantial truth. It is, as I have said, already

generally current, and cannot fail to be in a very short
time the subject of newspaper comment, and, I fear, of
solemn legal procedure."
The Grand Trunk of Canada Railway Stock experi-
enced a renewed decline of fully one per cent. yesterday,

on the publication of the report of the
_committee of

bondholders.

The Marquis of Dalhousie, the predecessor of Earl
Canning in the Governor-Generalship of India, has at
length sunk under the illness which he contracted

whilst in India, after sufferings of a very aggravating
character. His lordship expired at Dalhousie Castle, in
the county of Edinburgh, on Wednesday evening last.
He leaves two daughters, but no son. The Marge*
