the stables, proceeded with a barrow to • spot on Thorn.
hill, where the orderlies have been in the habit of procuring
mud with which to strew the stable Boors. So much mod
bad been taken away for this purpose that a portion of the
hill had been undermined by the process. Poor Brown
never returned to barracks. Being mimed, his comrades
werit in search of him, and at the spot indicated they found
the empty barrow, and perceived that a slip of earth had
taken place. Their worst fears were soon realised, for on

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'CLoci.

The funds to-day are firm. Within the last
hour a further improvement of it per cent. has
taken place in Consols. Preparations for Thurs-
day's settlement continue to engage at-
tention. Most other kinds of securities
show steadiness. The principal feature in the
Stock Exchange consists of the continued rise in
Metropolitan and South Eastern railway shaves,
and Greek and Spanish Passive Bonds.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at
69fr. 76c., being b per cent lower than on Satur-
day.

Consols are now quoted 92i, " buyers " both for
money and the account (Feb. 5). The official
business report is as follows :—Three per Cent.
Consols, for money, 921, ; ditto, for
account, ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 92k,
; New Three per Cents., 92i, ; Bank
Stock, 238 ; India Five per Cent. Stock,

Cent. " enfaced " rupee paper, 1051 ; and Exche-
quer Bills, is., 4e. die., par.

There has been a great demand for Greek Bonds,
which have risen considerably, being last marked
201, and the coupons 81. Mexican Bonds,
Italian Five per Cents., and Spanish Pas-
sive are likewise better, while Spanish Certificates
are dull. Rani= stocks, particularly the Three
per Cents., are more offered. The inquiries
for New Granadian Bonds ex Coupons continue.
Some of the present quotations are subjoined :-
Turkish 1858 Loan, 711 to 721, being
per cent. better ; ditto, 1862, 671 to 68 ; the
Consolides, 411 to L being steady ; the Peruvian
Loan, 861 to 87, being rather better ; Portuguese
scrip, 21 to 1 prem. ; Venezuelan Six per Cents.,
61 to ; and the New Russian Loan, 941 to 95/.
Transactions are recorded as follows :-Brazilian,

The Omar Pacha has reached Gravesend from
Melbourne with 90,0001. in gold.

The official confirmation of the (news that the
negotiations for the establishment of the National
Bank of Turkey have been satisfactorily concluded
by the signature of the firman by the Sultan has
given a fresh impulse to the prices of all kinds of
Turkish securities, including Ottoman Bank shares,
which were in demand on foreign account. There is
every reason to hope that, through the agency of the
new State Bank, whose functions will be of ► broad
and important character, order will gradually be
brought about in the Turkish finances. One of the
first aims will be to secure the punctual re-
mittance of the dividends and sinking funds
on the Anglo-Turkish Loans. The distinc-
tion between these stocks and the internal
debt of Turkey, including the Consolid4s, will,
nevertheless, continue apparent, for it is absurd to
suppose that the government will ever undertake
to pay the dividends on the latter in London. On
the contrary, it will be only a reasonable arrange-
ment to require that the bonds of this debt shall
be sent to Constantinople, for verification, Jrc., at
the dividend periods.
The supply of money in the discount market
continues fully adequate to all requirements ; but
in the present uncertain condition of affairs, little
disposition is shown to take good bills below 4,1 to
5 per cent.
Of the 550,000 L inipecie by the Tasmanian, from
the West Indies, 404,0001. is gold, and 146,0001.
silver.

The Magdalena has reached Lisbon from Brazil,
with 3,672/. in specie.
The remittance from the New Granada Customs
by this mail to Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co.
is 1,8691. 11a9d., in addition to which there was
received on the 9th inst. 2,0601. 95., making for the
month 3,930/.
An undertaking of a novel yet strictly practical
character is announced, under the title of "The
Factage Parisien (Limited)," or Paris General
Parcels Post and International Carrying Company.
The primary object is to carry out a concession
granted by the Prefect of the Seine and the Muni-
cipality of Paris, for the formation of a parcels post
and general system of goods delivery for the City of
Paris. The project, however, is not limited to the
French metropolis, it being intended to establish on
an extended scale an international carrying business,
not only between England and France, but between
Paris and all parts of the world. The project will
probably be found very useful to a large class, and
is certainly well timed, since it arises naturally out
of the great growth of trade between England and
France which has attended the commercial treaty.
Arrangements have been made with the various
French railways and maritime companies, and ne-
gotiations have been opened with a number of
English lines, from which it results that the London,
Chatham and Dover, Great Western, and Great
Northern Companies have signified their readiness
to co-operate fully with the project. The board is
both respectable and practical, and includes a
director of the London, Chatham and Dover, and
Great Eastern Railway Companies, as well as the
chairman of the Submarine Telegraph Company.
The capital is fixed at 900,000 P., in 10,000 shares of
201. each. Part of the shares have already been
applied for in France, and the allotment is to take
place both here and in Paris.
Scarcely any railwayoalls appear to be due in the
month of February. The subjoined shows the total
