active, but prices are generally without change,

and Montes Aureoe and North Rhine dull.

The Alwynton has arrived at the London Docks
with 126 tons of copper ore for the Yuelaniunntana
Mining Company of South Australia. The Lubra
arrived at Port Adelaide on Jan. 23 from Port
Augusta with 1400 bags of copper ore from the
IYudanamutana Mines : and the Sea Snake bailed
from Port Augusta on Jan. 24 with 200 tons of
copper ore for account of the same company.
At Worvas Downs meeting, on the 9tb inst., the
accounts showed a balance of 761. 15s. ld. against
the mine. In consideration of the favourable
character of the report, it was resolved to carry
this amount to the debit of the next account.

INCINDIAII6II. —During the whole of yesterday
ricks and stacks were burning on the farm of Mr. Smith,
about, two miles from the turnpike rosd, near Edmontoc.
The farmyard of Mr. Smith was well stocked with produce.
Fortunately the stacks were at some distance from the farm.
house, or the damage, in all probability, would bare been
far greater than it has been. From the inquiries made it
appears that a man named Wilson some time back called
upon Mr. Smith to sign • petition in his favour, and on
several occasions since be had been heard to say that very
shortly they would see "old Smith's ricks in flames." About
1 io the morning one of the ricks was discovered to be cm
fire, sod the wind blowing stiffly at the time drove the fire
into a large stack of oats, and thence the flames reached a
stack of hey consisting of nearly a hundred waggonloads. The
engines of the parish, under the command el Mr. Fowler, the
engineer, quickly attended, as well as others from Totten-
ham and sours of the London Brigade, under the alum of
Mr. Bridges, the chief officer oftheA district. The mesas
were set to work from ponds on the estate, but so great was
the Sr. that one pond was quickly pumped dry, and it wee
found necessary to get a greet many men to cut away the
sides of the great stack, and by that means prevent the
dames from reaching other mike. As late as 11 o'c'ock but
eight the fire was not entireltextinguished, and the brigade
'acmes were still at work. he lasemilary, whom name is
Wilson, has given himself into custody, end will be taken
before the nmailgatee this day. The saucer was insured.

I
MONEY MAREBT.-(27116 DAY.)

Two o'Ciocw.

The funds remain steady, at yesterday's eloping
quotations. The other marketa are quiet, and
present few features of interest. English rail-
ways, on the whole, are rather flat. Foreign
stocks are firm, and there is a further considerable
rise in Turkish Consolid6s.

The prospectus of the new Confederate Loan
seems to be looked for with much interest, and is
to be leaned this evening. Meanwhile the scrip is
quoted 2} to 3 preen. The loan is to be issued
through Messrs. John Henry Schroder and Co., of
this city, the expected formal ratification and
powers from the Confederate government having
arrived yesterday. The Loan is to consist of
3,000,0001. of Seven per Cent. Bonds, to be offered
at 90 per cent. It will be specially designated a
"Seven per Cent. Cotton Loan," and one of its
peculiar features is that the bonds are to be ex-
changeable against cotton, the latter being taken
at the fixed price of 6d. per pound. This arrange-
ment is of course designed by way of attrac-
tion to the speculative appetite ; for, supposing
it were possible to get the cotton away
and sell it at Liverpool at 12d. per lb. (which is
less than half the present price), the holder of a
bond which has coat 901. might get from 1801. to
2001. In every respect, therefore, this is a very
remarkable operation. The Confederate govern-
ment have agreed that the cotton shall be free from
any additional export duties that may hereafter be
imposed, and it is urged on behalf of the loan that
the cotton hypothecated must be the first to reach
the European market, inasmuch as the Confederate
government will possess a monopoly of the means
of transport to the oast. As a matter of course
the security of the bondholders will depend en-
tirely upon the ability of the South to maintain its
independence.

The scrip of the Italian Loan is lower, at to
prem. That of the Danish Loan is quoted 1} toll
prem.
