tions have predominated. Consols are quoted
about 1-18 per cent. lower than they
closed yesterday. Home railway and foreign
stocks, though inactive, are steady. Mex-
ican Bonds have improved. The excite-
ment in the market for banking and
financial shares is subsiding, and in some instances
prices have slightly relapsed, after the late rise.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Renter were quoted
86fr. 050., showing no change.

Foos o'CLocK.

Consols are without variation, at 91i to „, both
for money and the account. No gold operations
have taken place at the Bank.
There was yesterday a sale of 90,0001. Console for
cash by a large assurance company, who, it is said,
are re-investing the money in London and North
Western Railway Preferences.
As the payment of the dividends commences on
Friday next, the discount demand at the Bank yes-
terday was only moderate. In the general market 6
per cent. continues to be asked on good bills, but
business was quieter. In the Stock Exchange a
good demand was experienced for short loans on
English government securities at 5 to 6 per cent.,
and there were consequently some applications to
the Bank of England for advancer.
The tendency of the foreign exchanges yesterday
afternoon was rather dull, there being still a good
demand for bills on the continent. Except, however,
as regards the exchanges with Austria, which have
moved in favour of that empire, the rates have
varied but little from those of Friday, being quoted
aa follows :

Amsterdam. 3 months, 11.19 to f ; ditto, 3 days'

in 1861. The books have been placed in the hands
of Menem. Cooper Brothers and Co., the account-
ants, for investigation.
The consideration of the petition against dealings
in the shares of new undertakings until after the
allotment has been deferred by the Stock Exchange

In the foreign stock market attention was chiefly
directed to Mexican and Greek Bonds. The former
have fallen 4 per °eta., owing to the disappointment
occasioned by the continued delay in the acceptance
of the throne by the Archduke 31Azhniiiau. Greek

Bonds, on the other hand, were inquired for, but
an improvement which took place at one period of
the day was not maintained at the close.
Business in bank shares was again exceedingly
active, and though lees excitement was perhaps
observable than during the last day or two, the
movements in prices were numerous and important.
In some instances the rapidity of the late rue has
led to sales. Thus London and Westminster, Impe-
rial, and City Bank shares have declined 21.; Lon-
don Joint Stock Bank, 3/. ; Bank of Hindustan,
11. ; and Mexican and Metropolitan and Provincial
Bank about 10s. Anglo-Austrian Bank shares have
also relapsed to 14 to If prem., and Anglo Italian
Bank were rather dull at 11 to 2 prem. Generally,
however, this department of the Stock Exchange
retains great steadiness, and the shares of many
banks have improved. A rise varying from 10s. to
1/. per share has taken place in Bank of Egypt,
Bank of Otago, Bank of Wales, Brazilian and Por-
tuguese, Chartered Mercantile Bank of India, Lon-
don and China, East London, London and Ham-
burg, London and South Western, Merchant,
Midland, Union Bank of Ireland, London Bank of
Scotland, London and County, Mercantile and
Exchange, and National Bank of Liverpool. Land
Mortgage Bank of India closed at 2 7-16 to 2 9-16
prem.
The transactions in the shares of the financial
companies were again upon an important scale, and
the closing quotations, though scarcely equal to
the best point of the day, were in all instances
quite as high as those of yesterday. Mercantile
Credit, Imperial Financial, and Credit Mobilier,
have risen 10s. per share, and Credit Fonder 15e.
The advance in the latter occurred late in the
afternoon. The closing quotations are an-
nexed, viz. :—lnternational, 71 to a preen., ex
div. ; General Credit, 64 to 4 prem. ; London
Financial, 13 to 1 prem. ; Imperial Financial,
65 to 7 prem. ; Mercantile Credit, 101 to prem. ;
Credit Mobilier, 41 to 5 prem. ; Credit Foncier,
fib to 4 prem.; and Financial Corporation, 3 to
35 prem.
Hudson's Bay shares were rather flatter, at 181
to 191, and Egyptian Trading steady at 35 to 3
prem. ; Discount Corporation sham have risen about
21. 10s., being now quoted 6 to 7
_prem.; National
Discount, Joint Stock Discount, Land Securities,
North British and Mercantile Insurance shares have
all improved ; London Mercantile Discount have
fallen about 30s. ; Electric Telegraph stock, and
Peninsular and Oriental new shares were also
quoted rather lower. . .

The closing (but in some cases merely nominal)
quotations for shares in new undertakings are
subjoined, viz. :—Land Securities, 11 to 21 prem.;

tional Financial, llj to 2} prem. ; and Loudon and
Californian Bank, 2/ to prem.
The Liverpool cotton market to-day was dull,
and the transactions were limited to 4,p.1 bales.

MINES.-(THIS DAY)

Two o'CweK.

There is not much business in the mining
market to-day, and the variations in prices gene-
rally are few and unimportant. Great Vor shares
are heavy, and have declined 11., the present
quotation being 34 to 35. East Caradon are also
rather flatter, at 31i to 321. On the other
hand, North She herds are in demand, and
have risen to 6i to Sithney Metal are
quoted 51 to , North Crofty sto and Wheal
Seton, 195 to 200. Great South Tolgus shares
have been dealt in in the Stock Exchange at 3i.
Foreign and colonial mining shares are unaltered.
Don Pedro and United Mexican are dulL

The Vigra and Clogau Mining Company received
yeeterday-48 oz. 10 data. and 15 grains of gold,
being the produce from 57 tons 7 cwt. 3 qrs. and
4 lbs. of quartz ; and the Welsh Gold Mining Com-
pany, 2 or. 7 data. and 12 gra of gold, the produce
from 3 cwt. I qr. and 12 lbs. of quartz.
A rumour having circulated that the lode in the
110 fathom level at Wheal Grenville has been cut
through and found to be poor, we are requested to
state that there is no truth whatever in such state-
ment. The lode has only just been cut into, and it
will probably take a week or ten days to ascertain
its full size and value : so far it produoea good work
fur tin. The various other parts of the mine are
worth in the aggregate 2001. per fathom for tin.

BODY FOUND ON THE °CHM& On Sunday
forenoon the body of James Steels, slater, belonging to
Auchterarder, was found on one of the hills of the Ochil
ranee, between Aochteearder and Glendaria. It appeals
that Steele, who bad been working as • handloom weaver
for some mouths past, left his home for the south in
search of work on the morning of Thursday, last week.
On the afternoon of Friday he returned to Glesidevos,
when he met with an aoquaintance. Both men were
in company till 7 o'clock in the evening, when Steele left
for home. His friend advised him to go round by the
turnpike road, bat Steele took the hill road, which is
mach shorter. The night grew dark after he left, and
he must have wandered off the road, for the body was
found at some distance from the right path. It is sup-
posed that, after reaching the place where the body was
toned, Steele had sat down to rest himself, when the cold
took fatal effect upon him. He was a man between 40 and
50 yearn of age, and has left a wife and • small family.—

PETITION.

The Earl of DERBY, in presenting a petition from the
inhabitants of the parish of St. George the Martyr, South-
wark loonesiaing about 23,000 inhabitant., mostly of the
poor and labouring dowse) in reference to the system of
the metropolitan railways which was now going on in and
about London, aid the parish of St. George was
densely crowded, and that that overcrowding had
been much increased by the number of railways which
had been introduced into the metropolis. The railways
through this parish had taken away 100 houses, occupied by
about 300 families, and as it was cot pcesible to obtain any
mew house socommodation for them, the overcrowding was
still going on most extensively. Some time ago his noble
friend Lord Shaftesbury made a proposition that all metro-
politan railways should be compelled to erect additional
building■ as a oompereation for thine taken down. That
was found to be impracticeble, and he els afraid
that the resolution which the hones came to, that
all railways should provide such buildings, had proved
to be no protection at all. The petitioners prayed
(and it wee not unreasonable or unworthy of serious
sonsideration) that those railway companies which bad ob-
tained permission to construct metropolitan termini should
be compelled to run at lest one train in the morning and
one in the evening at a very low rate of charge, in order to
accommodate those persons who might wish to be taken out
into a more healthy neighbourhood to reside, sod be
brought back again to their work. The petitioner, sug-
gested that the fares should be as low as ld. per trip,what-
ever the distance might be. He (the Earl of Derby) believed
that there was one railway company that had already inti-
mated their intention to start such trains at a rate not higher
than la. per week for any distance not exceeding tan mass
and that that company wee the Loudon, Chatham; and
Dover. He thought the suggestion was one worthy of their
lordships' counideration, and also whether it would not be
right to insert a clause in each of the bills before parliament
requiring that such trains in and out of London should be
run morning and evening at each bows aa might be suitable
to the labouring classes If that were done it would give
an immense relief to the large population of this sod
other parishes, and enable the people to return to
their homes without much loss of time. He was
not prepared to move anything on the subject,
but he hoped his noble friend the President of the Domicil
would consider the matter, and would confer with his noble
friend the chairman of committees, and see whether it
would not be possible, and if so not desirable, that some such
clause should be introduced into all metropolitan milt/sty
bills passing through the house in the course of this session.
(Hear, hear.)

The'Earl of ILLIMESBURY said the system which his
noble friend recommended had been carried out in Paris,
and he understood that all railway companies there were
obliged to carry the workmen of Paris in and out at a certain
low rate of f►re.

Earl GRANVILLE was understood to say that he would
communicate with his noble friend and also with his right
hon. friend the President of the Board of Trade on the
subject.
Earl RUSSFLL was understood to say that he bad been
informed by the Bishop of London that be bad given very
great attention to the subject, and that he had found that
one great difficulty was that railway companies possessed
no powers to purchase land for the purpose of erecting suck
buildings thereon.
The Earl of DERBY—I do not say that these commit, its
should be hound to provide the land, but that they should
be couipeUed to grant facilities for carrying the working
damn to ►ud from the outskirts of the metropolis at low
fares.

After • few words from Lord °wawa; which were
inaudible in the =the petition was laid on the table
and the subject
THE KEARSAGE.—ENLISTING IN IRELAND FOR
THE FEDERAL SERVICE.

The Rut of DOSOUGHMORE said that at the
last Cork Assizes certain parsons pleaded guilty to
an indictment for having broken the Foreign Enlistment
Act, and that they were released from custody
on their own recognxanosa. The offence was having, as
subjects of her Majesty, enlisted to serve on board the
United States ship of war Sausage. The niptain of that
vessel stated that these men came on board without his
knowledge, and that when the vessel arrived at Brest he
put them ashore, bat as they were there without the means
of subsistence he sent them beck 'gain to Oork. When
the subject was last alluded to the noble lord opposite
(Earl Russell) made what certainly appeared to be a
very extraordinary statement, for he said he coold
not see what else the captain could have done.
That was a very remarkable statement, because it appeared
from the evidence which had been taken that the men were
actually put into the uniform of the United States navy by
the order of the officers of the ship. He (Sari Dononglimore)
would like to know whether the noble earl had required
any explanation from the American minister in regard to
all these farm.

Earl RUSSELL said be had complained to the United
States misuser of the conduct of the officers on board this
vessel of war. After what bad mimed in that house, and
after what bad taken place in • court of justice
in Ireland he had asked the United States minister to refer
to the newqrapers and to the opinion given by Mr. Justice
Keogh on the subject. The United States minister informed
him that io November last he received iostructione from his
government that if the consul had been instrumental io vio-
lating the Foreign Enlistment Act be should be at ones
dismissed ; and that as regsrded the officer In command of
the ship, if he (the United States minister) found he was to
blame, he was to be reported to his government, in order
that proper notice might be taken of his 000 duct Mr.
Adams did not act upon those instructions, because
be did not consider that there was any blame to be found
either as regarded the weed or the (Clair in command of
the ship in sighting these persons for the United States
service. The letter of Mr. Adams referred to other met.
ten, or he would have laid it on the table of the house.
The Earl of DARBY said it appeared that Mr. Adams did
not deny the essential has of the cams, viz., that thine men
were 'teeniest by the surgeon and attested ; that their
11111111111 were borne on the books of the ship ; and that they
were clothed in the uniform of the United States service.
With these facts before them it was impossible that the
officers could not be cognizant of them. (Hear, hear.)
The Marline of CLANRICARDE said that he had bees
informed that the Keernage was now repairing at one of oar
porta, and if so why should not the officers come to Loudon
and state the real facts of the case? It was too much to
extend to them the hospitality of the country in the face of
such statemeeta as those made at the trial at Cork. There
could be no reason for delaying • full inquiry into this
matter. Let the men come forward and state the real facts
to Mr. Adams, and lat him vouch for their accuracy. No
one would he prepared to dispute what he vouched for.
The subject then dropped.
