T Foreman of the Inquests of Portsoken Ward pre-
mated the followinu resolution, appended to their present- at.
meat, which was of the ordinary character: Bt.
" That it is the opinion of the Curt of Watd Inquest, it-
that the election and summoning of certain inhabitants of Bt
the ward, to set as inquestmen unnecessary, ar.d ought fie.
to be abolished, inasmuch as the duties they are sworn to 5
perform are effectually envied out by duly appointed lel
often, while that portion which is observed, namely, tat
perambulating the we'd for the purpose of collecting money tic
for charity, is both inconvenient and objecionable, and in 7
no way connected with the preservation of the privileges of
the citizens, and they, therefore, respectfully ask tho Court es,
of Aldermen to use their 'senior's for the carrying out of M.
the views of the mum"
The LoaD MAYOR informed the inquest and other in- r,
quests who complained of being called upon to perform Ili
similar duties, that their applications should be refined re
forthwith to the consideration of the Court of Aldermen. BO
The Court, after the constables, &c., were sworn in, ad- 40

MONEY MARKET.

MONDAY Buena°.
The English stock market opened this morning
with a wild appearance, owing to telegraphic intelli-
gence that Russia has accepted the basis of peace
afforded by the four points, with the interpretation
attached thereto by England, France, and Austria,
and that negotiations have accordingly been opened.
The first prices quoted were at a rise of 1 per cent-
s' the final range of Saturday, the market being
greatly excited. A fresh rise of nearly 1 per cent.
was subsequently attained, on the publication of
further telegraphic statements to the same purport
and although a reaction of about per cent.
took place late in the afternoon, the market yet
closed no less than 1„ per cent. higher than on
Saturday. The intelligence was confirmed by a
number of telegraphic messages received by leading
City firms, and is said to tally with the anticipa-
tions of our government. The news had the
more effect upon the market from its coming on the
day prior to that on which the "option" settlement
in Consols comes off, as the calculations of the dealers
have been completely dislocated. A great rise at
Paris contributed to maintain the buoyancy of the
market at the dose.
Money was in active demand to-day, but appa-
rently from exceptional causes.
The French Three per Cent. Rentes were reported
by telegraph from Paris to-day as closing at 66.30
for account, and 66.70 for money, showing a rise of
1 to 11 per cent. compared with the closing quota-
- floes of Saturday. To-day's telegraph from Vienna
brought the exchange on London at 12.08. On Friday
(Saturday was a holiday) it stood at 12.23, so that
the Austrian money market has quickly responded
to the improvement in the aspect of politics.
The French loan was quoted to-day at 2 prem. on
the Stock Exchange.
Consols, which closed on Saturday at 901 to a,
opened this morning at 911 to a for money and
Wednesday's settling, relapsed to 911, rose to 921
to , receded to 92 to I, and closed at 921 tel. After
the close of the house the price was quoted 92 to &.
The "contango" to the February account remained'
at 1 to; per cent. The official business report is as
follows:—Three per Cent. Console, for money, 911,
1,1, 921, 1 ex div.; ditto, for account, 10th January,
911, 1,1, a, 921, 921, 921 ex div. Three per Cent.
Reduced, 911, 91, 911, 92. New Three per Cents.,
911, 1, 921, 921, 921. Long Annuities, expiring in
1860, 4 5-16. India Stock, 226, 228 ex div. Three-
and-a Half per Cent. Exchequer Bonds, falling pay-
able in 1838, 991; ditto, 1839, NZ, Z. Bank Stock,
2081, 210.

Exchequer Bills remain quoted 4s. to 7e. prem.,
and India Bonds, 10s. to 13s. prem.
Foreign stco.:s were favourably affected, but the
chief movement was in Russian and Turkish. Russian
stocks rose 2 per cent. Turkish, after rising to 761,
closed at 761 to a, or 11 per cent. higher ban on
Saturday. Dutch steam advanced # per cent., and
Mexican 1 per cent. Other stocks were comparatively
quiet, but firm. At 4 o'clock Russian Five per Cents.
I were quoted 99 to 101; ditto Fonr-and a-lEalf per
Cents., 87 to 89 ex div. Dutch Two.and-a-llalf per
Cents., 601 to 611 ex div.; ditto Four per Cent.

ish Six per Cent. Scrip (paid in full), for account,
16th Jan., 751, 1,1, a, 761, 761, 76/, 761.
The French loan continues to cause daily heavy
withdrawals of gold from the Bank. The next re-
turn of that institution is expected to show a very
heavy falling off in the metallic stock.
The bar silver brought in by the Atrato was taken
to-day, chit fly for the continent, at ss. I!,d. per oz.
standard, being a reduction of Id. per ounce from
the price realised at the previous sale. The dollars
received by this vessel are not yet sold, the arrival
of the overland mail being awaited.
The committee of Spanish American bondholders
have called a meeting of the holders of Equador
bonds for the 12th inst.
Under the influence of the pacific news of the day,
coupled with the extraordinary mildness of the sea-
son, and with the open navigation of the North Sea
and Baltic, the corn market to-day was heavy.
Wheat ruled 2e. to 3e. per qr., and flour 2s. per sack,
lower than last Monday. In floating cargos no
business was reported. The arrivals of foreign grain
into London last week were to a fair extent, com-
prising 14,262 quarters of wheat, 1,274 sacks and
4,147 barrels of fluur, 2,260 quarters of barley, and
12,439 quarters of oats. Most of the country corn
markets held at the close of last week report lower
prices. The French advice§ to hand to-day report
firmness, notwithstanding an increased supply of
home-grown corn.
The tallow market to-day experienced a heavy
fall, and was for a time paralysed by the news from
Vienna The first offer made was at 615., which was
accepted for February and March delivery, and
subsequently 61s. 6d. was paid. Owing to the extent
of the speculative transactions which have teen
entered into for a rise in the price of this article, the
tallow market is peculiarly sensitive to political
