METROPOLTrAS illawaoL—After a Berea wonted
tarried on with unabated vigour during several months,
the Wet:twain Beard of Works, at 6 p.m.= Wednericay
lam, a day which will be memorable in the annals of the
Board, determined, by a majority of 24 to 7 to nbnit for
the approval of BU Basjuwia Hall the plea nuked B.

two femur nareidoes a motion of the same 'Wirral. as that
made on Wednesday by Mr. Deputy Harrison had bean
rejected by the Board, first by the outing vete of the ehdr-
man, and smondly, by a majority of two only. The large
inaj-rity of Wednesday Is doistvlrsa attributable to the
sifting which the whole subject hes undergone since the
time plan B was lint discussed; and the Board by
taking the step it has row done, has avoided the
necessity of tonadering some very difficult and trouble some
garstion• The present kens may be taken as a sort
of compromise. It carriers out the drainage of the metro-
polis as nearly as possible. or at least as nearly as is mew-
sari, to accord with its Act of Parliament, which demands
that the outran shall be some distance beyond the metropo-
litan boundary—and thir, too, at the medium meant of

MOXBY MARIEr-THIS DAY.

Two c?Ciocw.

The funds to-day have declined t per cent. upon
speoulativi sales. Consols were quoted, doriog
part of the morning, 921 to for the
6th of November, and stand now at 21 to
For money the present quotation is

The Three per dents. Reduced have
been dealt in at 914 to 91i ; the New
Three per Cents. at 914 to 924; Bank Stock at 213;
Exchequer Bills at 2s. to 6s. prem. ; and Exche-
quer Bonds at 984.
Turkish Six per Cents. have again given way. The
price has ranged between 88/ and 891, and is now
quoted 89 to ex div. The Guaranteed Four par
Cent& are quoted 994 to 4. Spanish
Bonds are rather flatter. The sales are
limited to Dutch Two-and a-Half per Cents. at
1334 (exch. 128.); Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per
Cents., for the 31st inst., at 784; ditto Three per
Cents., for account, at 644 ; Spanish New Deferred
Three par Cents., for account, at 24 and 234; and
the Committee's Certificates at 64 per cent.
No depressing effect is exercised by the decline
which makes almost daily fresh progress on the
French Bourse, for it is recognised that there is in
reality no reason why Consols should be es-
sentially prejudiced by the movement of the Routes,
the position af which is in many respects so dissimilar.
It to computed that between the present date and next
February some six millions sterling remain to be paid
oa the last French loan. Considering the abundant
supply of stock co the French Bourse, and the inabi-
lity of the Bank of France to assist the specula-
tors, surprise can scarcely be felt at the low
prices to which the Bentes have gradually de-
alined. As regards Console, on the other hand.
the entire creation of stock authorised by
Parliament has already been made, and the surplus of
stook derived from this source has been quickly ab-
sorbed by the public. There can be little doubt that
the time will some when the French funds will
experience a marked rebound; but pending the exist-
ing crisis, ialoantial buyers hold aloof, fearing that
the monetary pressure in France may yet drive the
prices of all Boars, securities to a lower range.
The imports of the precious metals last week do
not appear to have exceeded 243,0001. Our list
includes 98,8001. by the Baltic, and 107,6001. (of
which 81.4001. was on French account) by the
Canada, both from New York; 30.0001. by the
Washington, from the same port; 3,6601. by the
Alhambra, from the Mediterranean; and 3,3001. by
the Madrid, from the Peninsula.

Amonget.the imports of silver from the Continent
we also notice 29 packages by the Thames, from
Hamburg ; and 44 bags by the Ravensbourne, and
3 ewes by the Telegraph, both from Antwerp.
The Custom House statement of the exports of the
precious metals direct from Loudon daring the week
includes 20,190 ounces of gold and 1,400 ounces of
silver, worth in all about 78,000/. These supplies
were despatched chiefly to Hamburg. The particulars
I are subjoined, vie.: Gold coin—To Boulogne, 140
ounces; to Hamburg, 1,050 ounces; to Belgium,
3,000 ounces. Gold bars: to Hamburg, 18,000 ounces.
Silver coin : to Hamburg, 1,000 ounces ; to Boulogne,
400 ounces.

Including 21,0001. by the ,Union' for the Brazils,
the total shipments of the weak are raised to only
I about 100,0001. The retnittanoes in private hands
to the continent have also compriasd the entire
amount brought in by the three steamers from New
York. The withdrawals of gold from the Bask for
exportation are believed to have been very small last
week' _ _ _ _ _ _

We understand that a meeting of the holders of new
share* in the Royal British Bank was held oa Friday
evening, when an association was organised, under
the &defog of eminent counsel, for mutual defence
and resistance of liability, and that Mr. Field, who
acted on behalf of the English shareholders in the
Tipperary Bank, was appointed solicitor.
Mr. Andrew, the chairman of the European and
Indian Junction Telegraph Company, with Mr. Brett,
Mr. O'Shaughnesay, and Mr. Pinneger, hare had an
interview with Mr. Wilson, at the Treasury,
regarding the establishment of telegraphic communi-
cation between Europe and India, via Belted., the
Euphrates, and the Persian Golf. The valuable
Go-operation of Mr. O'Sbaughneaay with Mr. Andrew
augurs well for the success of this important under.
taking.
An extraordinary general meeting of the share.
holders in the Chartered Bank of Asia is called for
the 3rd November, when the directors will submit
• resolution recommending that the company be
wound up.
Noting is given that a petition for the wioding.up
of the Lancashire Debt Guarantee Company is
expected to be heard before Vice-Chancellor Stuart
on the first petition day in November.
We are requested to state that the City of Glas-
gow Bank has not • branch at Cooper-Angus, as re-
ported in connexion with a charge of forgery against
a bank agent there.

SATURDAY Vramixo.

The fonds continue to exhilaTtm—arlitrffirmness.
The variation in prices to-day was limited to about 1
per cent., and the closing quotations were 1 per cent.
above those of yesterday. The absorption of stock
by the public having imparted a much stronger basis
to the market, the late tendency towards fluctuation
has greatly subsided.
The discount market coctinues tight, with a scanty
supply of money.
The transactions in Consols to-day were between
921 and 921, and the closing quotation was 921 to
for the 6th Nov. For money the price left off at
921. The official business report is as follows:
Three per Cent. Consols, for money. 921, 921 ; ditto,
foe account, 6th Nov., 921, 921, 921. 'Three per
Cent. Reduced, 911, 911. New Three per Cents.,
92j, 911, 921. India Stock, 2261; ditto, for account,
228. 'three-and-a-Half per Cent. Exchequer Bonds,
falliag payable in 1858, 931, 983; India Ronde, 6a.
prem.
Exchequer_ Bills were rather flatter, at 2s. to 6s.
prem. Exchequer Bonds were steady, at 981 to 1.
Further speculative sales of Turkish &x per Cents.
were pressed this morning, and the price, which was
first marked 891, receded to 89, "sellers." At the
close, however, a rally had taken place to 891 to
ex div., being only about per cent. below the
,final quotation of yesterday. The Guaranteed
Four per Cents. left off at 991 to t. Other
foreign securities were steady.
At Amsterdam yesterday (Friday) the exchange
on London was quoted 11.70 for short, and 11.50
for S months; at Hamburg, 13.31 for short, and 13
for 3 months; and at Vienna, 10.19. The exchange
at Hamburg is considerably more favourable to this
country.
The tea market was unusually active to day; a
very large general business was done, including
speculative purchases. Blackish leaf congou advanced
3d. to Id. per lb., and the quotation now for common
congon is 93d. to 91d. per ib., whioh shows a similar
advance.
