WIDMIIIDAY Beaune.
The English stock market opened heavily, but sub-
sequently rallied, owing chiefly to the important
reverse experienced by the Russians before Sebas-
topol. A rise of 4 per cent., however, was only tem-
porarily maintained, and the closing quotations were
about the same as those of yesterday. Money was
easier in the Congo' market at about 3 per cent. The
operations were restricted, but were to a certain
extent influenced by the anticipation entertained in
some quarters of an approaching reduction in the
discount rate of the Bank of England.
Although to-day was the 4th of the month, the
money market remained quiet, the supply being very
plentiful We hear of an offer being made to lend
300,0004 to a leading railway company at 44 per
cent. per annum, for six months.
It is stated that government have borrowed
3,000,0001. from the Bank of England on deficiency
bills. This operation is presumably prompted by the
near approach of the dividend period, and the ad-
vance will probably be liquidated u the revenue
payments flow in. It is scarcely creditable, how-
ever, that the Treuury balance should be suffered to
fall so low, and an additional argument is thus
afforded for the raising of a loan in the open market.
At Paris to-day the Three per Cent. Rentes closed
much the same as yesterday, the disposition of specs-
lators being to Rapport the market. The Four-and-
a-Half per Cents., however, declined about per Duet.
At Vienna little alteration in prices has taken place,
bat the tone of the bourse is rather leas hopeful At
Frankfort prices are lower, but at Berlin Russian
stock has risen # per cent.
Consols for the 11th inst. opened at 921 to 4, rum
to 924 to 3, and were quoted at 4 o'clock 921 tit a for
money an this account, and 1 per cent. higher for
the May account. The official business report is
as follows : Three per Cent. Console, for moneys
921, 4, f„ 4 ; ditto. for account, lith April. 921, 1, f,
4, I. India Stock, for account, 2284. Three-and.

1858, 991, 3; ditto, 1859, 991, 4. India Bends, Ils.
prem. Exchequer Bills were steady, at ss. to Bs.
prem.
The transactions in the foreign stook market were
more numerous, but gave °cession to little alteration
in price. Turkish closed about 1 per cent. lower
than yesterday, at 793 to 801. Other descrip-
tions were steady.
It is scarcely necessary to remark that on Friday
next (Good Friday) the Stock Exchange will be shut,
and all business suspended.
The corn market to-day was quiet, at last Monday's
prices.
The Admiralty have ordered the ships Emily,
Isabella Blyth, Merchantman, and the K. S. Forbes,
to be surveyed. The first is to convey naval stores
to Malta, and the rest ordnance stores to the Mauri-
tius, New Zealand, and Sierra Leone. The Admiralty
will receive tenders, on the 10th inst., for the con-
veyance, from the River Thames, of 81 men to Nova
Scotia, and 52 men to Bermuda, besides officers.
The particulars aro published of a number of bonds
of the several Brazilian Five per Cent. Loans which
have been drawn for redemption on the Ist of October
next. The bonds to be redeemed represent a total
of 88.6001.
We are informed that the Minister of Public Works
in Belgium has wisely recognised the importance of
giving every assistance to the prosecution of the
works of the Great Luxembourg Railway, and that
the relations of the company with the government
are now placed upon a more satisfactory footing.4The
line, it is stated, will be opened to within two miles
of Namur on the Ist May, and in the course of a
month the directors intend to issue a report upon the
general state of the company's affairs, and indicating
the probable returns. It is stated that amongst the
company's concessions mineral property of some
value has been discovered.

Land and bank shares to-day were quiet. Crystal
