FRIDAY EVIINIXO.
The English funds opened this morning with a
fiat appearance, the proceedings in parliament last
night having a slightly unfavourable effect, but as
business progressed, and the purchase on govern-
ment amount in Reduced Threes and Consols were
renewed, a rally to yesterday's prices took place, and
was maintained to the close of business. Consols
opened 1001 to for cash, but left off 1004 to 4, and
for the 9di Demmber, 1001 to 1. Business was upon
a very quiet scale. The official report of the sales
@tested emirates :—Three per Ceqt. Couple, fog,

reduction in prices. Cho March and June issues are
quoted at the uniform price of 725. to 755. prem.

from Australia is about 16,300 ounces, worth
66,0001.

Dijon and Besancon Railway, is now payable.
All the great public establishments for the trans-
action of City business, including the transfer offices
of the Bank of England, will be closed on the 18th
inst., the day fixed for the funeral of the late Duke
of Wellington. The Stock Exchange will also,'
without 66bt, be closed, although the ordinary
official notification of the fact has not yet been issued ;
and generally the day will bo observed, so far as is
practicable, as a strict holiday by all houses of busi-
ness.

The English, Scottish, and Australian Chartered
Bank has received its charter from government, and
is thus placed in exactly the same position as the
London Chartered Bank of Australia. Mr. Jack-
son, a gentleman well known in the colonies, has
been appointed inspector, and will immediately pro-
ceed to Australia to make the requisite arrangements
for the commencement of business. It is expected
that the high standing of the gentlemen composing
the board of direction, and their connexion with the
colonies, will ensure to the institution a large
business.

The Darlington and Barnard Caatle Railway is

and Newshem, will terminate in Galgate-street, Bar-
nard Castle, being a total distance of about 18 miles.
Only a single line is to be laid down.

the new loan had fallen to 11 din. The exchange

In the market fer foreign exchanges to-day the
demand for bills again exeeeded the supply, with the
exception of Paris, which was generally offered at
25.171 for short, 25.20 money, and 25.35 to 40 three
months. Bills on Antwerp, Ghent, and Brunets
generally ruled at 25.371 to 40 for three months.
Amsterdam was again lower, being done at 11.18 for
three months, at which price but few bills were
to be met with; for short paper the price was
11.161. Petersburg was quoted 371 to 38. Frank-
fort was in demand at 120 to 1. Hamburg closed
13.61 to 7. Vienna ruled at 11.42 to 45, short paper

The decrease in the circulation and private de-
posits, and the increase in the government deposits,
private securities, and reserve, are all changes that
were to be anticipated. On the whole, the inference
to be drawn from the return is, that the operations
of our vast business are progressing in full activity,
yet without giving occasion to any strong demand
for money sufficient to exercise a disturbing influence
