The Express.
London, England, 1851-12-09 00:00:00

The English stock market opened well this morn-
ing, and continued steady for some time, but more
flatness is now apparent, and prices have given way
about a quarter per cent. Generally throughout
the various departments of the " house," the
excitement produced by the French crisis has
altogether passed off. All the intelligence from that
quarter, it is true, is watched most narrowly, but
speculators appear to entertain a conviction that
for tho present the position of Louis Na-
poleon is consolidated, and that time is conse-
quently afforded for tho consideration of any de-
cided line of operations.
The Consol market is now chiefly influenced by
considerations connected with the settlement
of the account, which is fixed to take
Iplace on Thursday, and which will prove
an unusually heavy one, transactions in this stock
having undergone a great extension of late, and the
fluctuations having been severe and sudden. The
market, which closed yesterday at 971, opened
this morning at 971 to 1, but is no*
flatter, at 971 to 1 for Thursday. Owing
bowever, to stock being very scarce, the quotations
for gash is actually a shade higher, being 978 to f.
For fho January account, on the other hand, there is
a " continuation" of 1 to 3-16, a cizeumstance which
would tend to show that the jobbers are
" bulls " for next time. Among the opera-
tions of the day has been the usual purchase of the
government broker in Reduced Threes at 97/. The
following is the official business report : Three per
Cent. Consols, 971, 1, 98, 97/ ; ditto for account, 971,
1. Three per Cent. Reduced 97, 1, 961. New

Exchequer Bills remain at the rally of ls. noticed
yesterday. The present quotation is 48s. to 51s.
prem., and for India Bonds, 58s. to 61s. prem.

The foreign stock market is very quiet, with little
change in prices, but at present, where sales are
pressed, rather lower rates must be submitted to.
Mexicar Bonds have given way again, owing to the
unsatisfactory accounts from the republic, we have not
yet received from Col. Facio any statement of the
amount brought over on dividend account by the
Dee, a pint upon which the bondholders are parti-
cularly anxious to be informed, as indeed they are
upon several other matters immediately affecting
them, including accounts of the actual sum now in
London a?plicable to the next dividend, and the total
of duties pending collection at the various Mexican
ports. Inqairies on these subjects are continually being
made, and the absence of official information ia regarded
with much impatience. There have been transac-
tions to-day in the new Spanish Deferred Three per
Cents. at 161. Sales aro thus reported : Brazilian
Old Five per Cents., 94. Chilian Six per Cents.,
994. Dutch Two-and.a-Half per Cents., 581, 691 ;
ditto Four per Cent. Certificates, 89, 884. ;

With the completion of the settlement in Agua
Fries and Ave Maries, the market for tho Califor-
nian gold mines is generally firmer, and quotations

Agua Fria, to 2 prem. ; Nouveau Monde, to 1
prem. ; Anglo Californian, a to » prem.; Golden
Mountain, I din. to A. prem.; Ave Maria, 1 dis. to

The subjoined calculations show the rate per cent.
per annum yielded by the various securities cited at
the average of the prices which ruled yesterday.
Where the asterisk (1 is prefixed it is to be under-
stood that the share rate of interest is less the in-
come tax. It will be seen that in every case we take
the rate of interest last declared as the basis of our
calculation. To render the calculation strictly accu-
rate, the proportion of interest which may have
accrued since last dividend period should, in each
case, be taken into account :
