ITIOURIDAT &VINING.
Although business in the home funds was quiet
to-day, the improving feeling was strong, and the
market ruled firm during the greater part of the
day at a further advance of per cent. The appear-
ance of the weather was considered decidedly in
favour of prices, and the report of a more confident
feeling on the Paris Bourse also had a strengthening
influence. Consols ranged between t 193 and 1004,
and left off firm at 100 to both for money and the
Bth September. The official list of transactions
stands as under :—Three per Cent. Consols, for
money, 100, 991, 1001, 100; ditto. for account, 1004,
100, 3. Three per Cent. Reduced, 1003, 3. New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 1041, 4. Long

We understand that the visit of M. de Persigny,
the confidential adviser of Louis Napoleon, to this
country, is in order to discuss with our government
various topics of political and commercial interest
affecting Great Britain and France. It is confidently
believed that it is the intention of the President to
effect a reduction of the standing army of France,
upon the strength of which a rise has already taken
place in the French funds; and it is further
understood that, fully perceiving the importance of
cementing the commercial, and by this means the
political, ties of the two countries, he is about to
make overtures in the direction of mutual commercial
concessions, which, if carried out, will have a vast
influence on several of our staples. Tho wines of
France and the coal, iron, and linens of England, will
probably form the chief articles the duties on which
will be subjected to discussion. We also understand
that the question of raising Mexico from her present
degraded position will attract serious attention in
the proposed conference of hi. de Persigny with our
government. It will readily be seen that the ques-
tions involved in this mission, and to the probable
solution of which attention has previously been
drawn by our columns, aro of immense importance.
The amount of specie taken out by the screw-
steamer Propontis for the Cape is 50,0001.

The market for American stocks has presented no
feature of novelty this week, prices being scarcely
changed. Business is very quiet. Present quota-

The contrast with the returns for the correspond-
ing week of 1830 (which, as already explained, is
the only fair comparison that can be made, as the
traffic of last year was so greatly distufaevi by the
Great Exhibition) is shown to be extremely favour-
able. Last year the returns of the Brighton and
South Western Company:s was augmented by their
running special trains with a view to accommodate
the large numbers of persons who went down to the
Royal Yacht Squadron Regatta at Cowes, which, it
will be remembered, was rendered the more interest-
ing from the presence of a foreign competitor.
The return per mile per week is subjoined:
