TIMIDLY BVINING.
The English funds opened steadily, but soon after
noon fell about 1 per cent. on speculative sales,
chiefly by parties who are reynted to receive early
intelligence from Vienna. It was thence inferred
that the aspect of the negotiations has become lees
favourable. Towards the close, however, more
steadiness was shows, and the final quotations were
percent. below those of yesterday. Since the recent
rise the English funds ate naturally very sensitive to
any adverse influence.
The disoount market continues very easy, with a
tendency towards lower rates. The influx of gold
assists thin tendency.
At Paris to-day the French Three per Cent. Rented
closed at 68.90 for money, and 68.75 for account;
the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. at 94 for money;
and Bank shares at 2.990. These prices show a far-
' ther fall of 1 to; per cent, since yesterday.
Consols opened at 93.1 to d for the 11th April,
fell to 92} to 1, and closed at 924 to 1. For money
the closing quotation was 921 to f. The official
business report is u follows —T per Cut.
Consols, for money, 93, 931, 92:, 1,1, f; ditto, for
account, 11th April, 931, 921, 4, ; the New Two-
and-a-Half per Cents„ 7dl; India stock, 22,54 ; Bank
stock, for account, 216; Three-and a-Halt per Cent.
Exchequer Bonds, falling payable in 1858, 991;
India 'fonds, 11s. prem. Exchequer Bills closed at
Bs. to 9s. prem.
The foreign stock market was not quite so strong
in character, in sympathy with Consols, but the de-
cline was mainly confined to Turkish, which fell to
79f, and closed at 79/ to 801.
The Parana was to-day telegraphed as having
arrived in the Southampton Docks from the
West Indies with 1,170,000 dollar., or about
234,0001. in specie on freight. The Great Western,
from the Brazils, has brought in 11,4531. in specie,
chiefly in gold (besides 40,0001. in diamonds).
A further large amount of gold was to-day sent
into the Bank of England. The next return of this
institution is expected to show a heavy increase in
the metallic stook.

THE VIENNA CON

Inn group before the Passage de l'Opers, the fol-
lowing telegraphic despatches were read aloud so fleterday
" Vienna,2 o'clock. Nothiag has transpired ooncessiag the

" View, 3 &cloak. Nothing it ham of what has mimed

mystery continues to prevail caucusing the ecmferenees.
No serious doubt cm now be entertained of their pacific ter.
ruination." All this was very satisfactory, and, the
moment after, Clogo said to N. Prudhomme, " Just
imagine what I have just heard."—" I can't s .y, do tell
use."—" Count de Buol has pronouneed a pacific speech."


Therefore it is that I am compelled to trouble your lord-
ship with this letter.
It is elm that if your lordship thinks me guilty of con-
spiracy, fraud, sad perjury (and I apprehend the charges
made by usual amount to nothing less), you must Wee 1
steps for my removal by the government from the lieute-
nancy and the superintendence of the magistracy of the
musty of Galway. I have, then, to ask if your lordship
desires any explanation upon any matter from me or to
eater Into any investigation of my conduct in any respect
or at sny time.
I have the honour to be, my lord, your lordship's most
obeoient humble servant, CLANILICAZDO.

Dublin, Feb. 14, 1855.
My Lord,—l have the honour to acknowledge the re-
Geis of your lordship's letter of the 13th inst., referring
me to the case of " Handeock v. Delscour " lately under
discussion before me in the Court of Caning. As the
mode is which the ease is, for the present, disposed of,
rendered it unnecessary for me to pronounce • formal
judgment, I must decline eoterog into any e: Lon of
the views entertained by me, either of the general merits of
the case or of the evidence given by the witnesses, whose
affidavits were read before me' or of the comments made by
COMMA upon that testimony. Nor could it, in my appre-
hension, be proper that I should call upon your lordship for
explanations or enter into any further investigation respect.
log transactions which, for aught I know, may yet be
matter for judicial inquiry, and is regard to which it was
open to your lordship to have made the fullest statements
you might have thought proper, in your affidavit sworn in
the cause. As respects your lordship's aloe, Lieutenant of
the county of Galway, it is not within my province as Lord
Chancellor to direct any inquiry, or to take any. steps for
the purpose suggested in your letter. The consideration of the
propriety of any each proceeding rests altogether with the
Lord Lieutenant.

The foreign exchanges continue to maintain a
favourable appearance. Thu afternoon a further
slight improvement was in some cases established.
Thus bills on Paris were negotiated at 23.174 to 22k
at short, and 25.45 to 473 at three months. The
rate on Amsterdam reached 11.19; to at three
months, and 11.171 stmt. Paper on Hamburg was
done from 11.7 to 73, with money generally obtain-
able at 13.71. In the case of Frankfort, Bt. Peters.
burg, Vienna, and Trieste, no alteration of moment
occurred. Business was not extensive.

Loughrea, Feb. 19, 1855.
My Lord,—A letter reached me last night, which, al-
though it been no signature, 1 cannot doubt is your lord-
ship's reply to mine et the 13th instant. I presume your
lordship overlooked the postscript, in which I informed you
that I was, when I wrote, on my road to this town, as the
letter was directed to Portumna, where it was received on
the 18th instant. I should not add a word to the single
sentence necessary to procure the authentication of your
letter, if your hardship had not, after having declined to
enter upon the merits of the case, so far departed from that
intention as to remark, "that it had been open to me to
have made the fullest statements I might have thought pro-
per," in my affidavit sworn in this cause.
Upon this I must say, begging your lordship to excuse
my ignorance, that I was not aware I had any right to
appear at all, in a cause to which I had not been made •
party, and that I imagined my affidavit was to be taken,
not upon my behalf, or for my sake, but as my testimony
upon particular points, which the agent upon one aide
thought essential to his case.
I bare the Konen* to be, my Lord, your lordship's obe-
dient humble servant,
(Signed) CLANnicsaux.
The Lord Chancellor of Ireland, &a.

The tallow market to-day was rather higher, owing
to the presumed less favourable aspect of affairs at
Vienna.

A half-yearly dividend of 245. 'per share, and also
• bonus of 565. per share, making together 41. per
share (or at the rate of 20 per cent. per annum), is
to be payable on the shares of the Bank of Austra-
lasia on the 17th April.
The Admiralty, in a notice issued yesterday, state
that " The transports to be taken up on Thursday,
the 22nd instant, to be employed as depot ships at
Faro, will only be required to be manned by the usual
merchant crew." _ _

The receipts of the Great Western Railway of
Canada for the week ending the 2nd of March were
5,6241. sterling, making a total of 21,3061. since the
lit February.
Amongst the items of commercial intelligence re-
ceived from India by the mail we observe that the
East India Company have issued a notification of
their intention to discontinue the government agency
for private parties for the deposit and transfer of
public securities in India. This business was under-
taken at the suggestion, we believe, of Lord William
Bentinck more than twenty years ago, in consequence
of the failure of the great Indian agency houses
having involved so many of their constituents in ruin,
and the East India Company's notification may thus
be looked upon as a tacit acknowledgment on the
part of the Court of Directors of the value of the
Indian joint•stock banks, some of which we under-
stand are prepared to undertake the business thus
handed over to them by the company.
Land and bank at area remain steady. The shares
of the Bank of New South Wales declined 11. Peel
River shares were rather flatter. St. Katharine Dock
stock has been dealt in at 82 ; Victoria Dock, old
shares, at 15 and 141 (161. paid); Australian Royal
Mail, at 3,1 to 3Z ; Peninsular and Oriental, at 68 to
1; and Canada Land, at 1201.

Dublin, Feb. 20.
My Inrd,—l have the honour to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your lordship's letter of yesterday, apprising me
of the emission, for which lam wholly at a loss to account,
of my signature to the letter addressed to your lordship, in
reply to yours of the 13th instant. Should your lordship
desire to have this omission supplied, and be good enough to
transmit the letter to me for that purpose, it shall be du.,
returned to your lordship in a complete state.

humble servant, MAZIIIIII BALDI.

Carlton-ternce, March 3, 1855.
My Lord,—Your Excellency cannot have failed to notice
the reports in the newspapers of the trial of Hendee&
v. Delacour," lately beard in the Irish Court of Chancery,
and the arousatiune made against me in the course of that
trial. I lest notion, as soon as the proceedings in the court
were ended, in applying to the Lord Chancellor, through
whom I conceived a complete investigation of my conduct
might be most properly obtained.
1 have the honour to send herewith copies of my cone-
spondenee with his lordship.
Before it was closed, ;an article appeared in the Timel
newspaper, which seemed to me liable to a criminal prosecu-
tion, in the courts, of which my ceiduct could be explained
and sifted. Bet I ,have been advised by eminent counsel
that the article in question is not, in a legal point of view, •
crush's] libel.
I have, therefore, recurred to • course suggested by the
Lord Chancellor'sletter, and have Bled in the Court of Chan-
cery an affidavit of which I transmit to your Excellency a
copy, and which I trust gives a full statement of my share
in the transactions which have been under consideration,
and affords I think a complete refutation of the slanders
uttered against me.
As by the merle adopted in Chancery, over which I have
had no control or influence, it appears that no judicial pro-
ceedings by which my conduct might be inquired into are
likely to take place, I trust that, if your Excellency, after
reading these documents, attaches the least credit to the
allegations made against me, yen will grant me that full
inquiry which I earnestly court. If I am not entirely
cleared in your Excelleacy's judgment from these charges
you cannot permit me to retain the commissions I have the
honour to bear under her Majesty and under your Excellency.
For myself 1 am COaltgollill of having sated in the matters
referred to as became a well-intentioned, humane, and
honourable man.
Although this letter is official your Excellency cannot he
surprised or displeased it I should make It public, with the
papers which aeoompany it ; and I trust that is my present
position I may be excused if I pray for as early an answer
as may arnrd with your Excellency's convenience.
I have the honour to be, your Excellency's most obedient
