Owing. to Monday next being settling-day in
Agua Frias and Ave Marian some little movement
is necessitated in connexion with the Californian
gold mining shares, but otherwise nothing is doing.
The market is decidedly flat, and quotations have
undergone a sensible reduction. Present prices are :
Agua Frias, ..1 to 1 prem.; Nouveau Monde, I to
prem.; Golden Mountain, I die. to par; Ave Maria,
to I dug.; West Mariposa, ?, to I dts.

A somewhat re-assuring consideration in the
midst of the present convulsion is the continued in-
flux of specie. The Hattie is this morning advised
as having arrived at Liverpool, with upwards of a
million and-a-half of dollars, or more than 300,0004
in specie from the United States.

Notice has been issued at the Bank of England
and the South Sea House that the transfer books for
the various annuities due the .sth January will be
shut and re.opeued as follows :

The dividends on all the above will be in course of

the transfer books of India stock shut this day, and

The total receipts upon the corresponding lines
being 171,9331., against 160,8791. in the same week
of last year, the increase is shown to be 11,0761., or
6) per cent. The number of miles open in 1851. was
3,8 I 9), and in 1830, 3,765), being an increase of 1131
miles, or 3 per cent. The aggregate average return
per mile per week was in 1851, 441. 6s. 51d., and
in 1850, 421. 14s. 5d., so that the difference is shown
to remain in favour of the present year to the
'est= t of I/. 12s. 01d. per mile. These returns must
iggipequetttly be considered decidedly calculated to

I engender confidence in the minds of shareholders.
The week's extra traffic does not seem to include
any large amounts, hut the London and North
Western is fat ourably affected by Warwick Races,
which were postponed to the week embraced in this
return, and by Winslow (Bucks) Great Cattle Fair;
and the Eastern Counties receipts will also be found
to have been assisted by the great cattle fair at
Harlow.

MARK-LAN E.—TII IS DAY.
There was but little addition mule this morning to the
week's supply of English Wheat, and the foreign arrivals
have been small. The trade was hem, at Monday's rates
without any great activity. Flour was saleable, at former
prices. . • • -

Eaglish Barley scarcely sold so well as at the beginning
of the week, and foreign was held at Manday's quotations.
Supplies of Oats have somewhat increased from
our own coast, and a few cargoes have come
to hand from abroad; nevertheless the arrivals
were only moderate in the aggregate, and no improvement
could be established.
Beans and Peas maintained their value.

BOROUGH MARKET.—THIS DAY.

better demand than usual at this period ; middling and fine

SMITHFIELD MARKET.—THIS DAY.
The trade for Beasts is very heavy to.day,owing to a larger
supply and the mild weather. A few of the choicest kinds
still make 45., but 3s. 10J. more correctly represent the
average of best qualities. Many inferior remain unsold.
The supply of Sheep is considerable for the time of year ;
buyers are scarce, and prices hardly so gond as on Monday
last. The supply of Calves is short, which enables us to re-
tain Monday's quotations in a few instances, but, generally,
trade is worse. Front Germany and Holland there are 9.5
Beasts, 1,790 Sheep, and 88 Calves ; France, 30 Sheep; 400
Beasts from the Northern and Midland Counties, and 110
milch Cows front the Home Counties.

France have produced a beneficial influence upon our mar-
ket to-day, and prices have had an upward tendency.
Great Westerns, which opened at 811, advanced during the
day, and closed firm at 811. Midlands improved to 541,
and upon most descriptions there was some rise.

ANTI-PAPAL DEMONSTRATION.—On Monday last
Greenwich and its environs were the scene of a Misrule:
display, which was got up as an effectual reply to certain
pretentious statements recently put forward respecting
the new Roman catholic church on Croom's-hill, Greenwich.
These statements appeared m a print which is recognised as
an 'organ of the Roman catholic party andwere to the effect
that the church was a national concern, and intended for
the use of the pensioners of Greenwich Ilospittsl. Monday
was the day named for the formal 0,
but the ceremony was postponed
