ENTERTAINMENT AT THE MANSION-HousE.—The
Lord Mayor on Tuesday enterta;ned his brethren, the
aldermen, their ladies, and a numerous party, at dinner at
the Mansion-house. In the evening the Lady Mayoress
received &large assembly, and dancing was kept up with
great spirit to a lato hour. The hand of the Coldstream
Guards were in attendance, and played various airs during
dinner, and also supplied the music for the dancing with
their usual talent and success. The fog, however, which
was exceedingly dense at the west end of the town, pre-
vented many oe the intended guests from being present
both at the dinner and the evening reception, some of them
having wandered about in tl:cir carriages with flambeaux
fur a long time, and found it impossible to reach the Man•
sion-house, were glad to regain their homes, and escape the
danger and confusion of the streets.
A GOOD EXAMPLE.—Tho Order of the Red
Eagle of Prussia is in the form of a cross ; but the King
has just decided that, in order not to offend the religious
convictions of Jews, the decorations, destined for them,
shall represent the sun, with, in the centre on one side, a
red eagle on enamel, and in the centre on the other side
the letters in gold " F.W.E." (Frederick William Rix.)
SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL. Yesterday the thirty-
seoond annual meeting of this society was held at the offices,
in King William-street, Mr. Wyld in the chair. The
report stated that the benevolent designs of the charity bad
been carried on during the year with undiminished vigour
and interest, and the institution continued to receive that
liberal assistance which was necessary for its extended work
of usefulness. The Duke of Northumberland accepted the
office of president, which had become vacant by the death
of Lord Melville, and gave a donation of 2501. to the funds
of the society. The number of patients admitted on board
the Dreadnought during the year was 2,31 G, and those
supplied with medical assistance and stores, as out-patients,
amounted to 1,554, making a total of 3,870. A sum of
1361. was received by means of the subscription boxes
which wen placed antler the are cf the shipping-[rasters ,
appointed under the Mercantile Marine Act, which sum
was the more valuable as being contributed chiefly by sea-
men themselves. The societyhad received three legacies
during the year-3001. from Mr. Benjamin Hill, 1001. from
Mr. Boucher, and 101. from Lady Colville. The number
of men received into the hospital, including those of the
year just past, was 67,903. There were under cure or con-
valescent, on the 31st of January last, 159. Of the
2,316 admitted in the present year, there were dis-
charged cured 1,643, convalescent 181, relieved 88,
not cured 16, deaths 75. Tho patients of different
nations received were in the following properti•in :
Englishmen, 39,734; Scotehroen, 8,199; Irishmen, 6,035;
Frenchmen, 249 ; Germans, 913; Russians, 871 ; Prussians,

THE SWINDLERS 01+ AUSTRALLL—Some Surprise
was yesterday felt in the cheque department of the Bank of
England by the presentation for payment of an old patched-
up cancelled cheque, which had been drawn by a customer
in the year 1834, and purported to be an order for
6171. 7s. The piece of dirty paper bad been pasted to
another pine of paper, and presented an appearance likelyl
to excite the suspicion of the most ignorant. It was r ffered
at the counter by two seamen, who stated that they had
been at the "diggings," accompanied by the captain, who
had agreed to lay the vessel up for a few weeks, and try
whether they could nay reeoropen,e themselves fee the delay
by labouring in a told field ; that they had accordingly gone
to work, and in seven weeks accumulated • considerable
quantity of gold dust, and that at Melbourne, the two appli-
cants being anions to get home to their families, sold their
share of the valuable article to one of the gull dealers,
named Stevenson, at the current price, amounting to
6171. 7s. 9d.' which they were assured would be pain to
them at the Bank of England the moment tiny showed the
authority. In answer to questions put to them by one of
the officers in attendance at the Bank the seamen said they
had sold five ounces on the day before to Mr. Stevenson
who paid them in dollars, with a readiness which prevented
them from suspecting his intention to rob them, and that
they had their register tickets, and could prove by the ad-
mission of their captain that there had been no desertion or
irregularity of any kind upon their part. Upon being asked
whether they intended to return to Australia, theysaid they
had already paid for their paasge back, and they declared
that they would follow the advice of the officer and look
out for Mr. Stevenson, and compel him to make restitution.

WEDNESDAY EVENING.
The market for the home funds to-day was, on the
whole, a shade firmer, but the improvement was
scarcely perceptible. Throughout the various de-
partments of the Stock Exchange the feeling is one
of considerable dulness, and the disposition to specu-
late for a fall is unabated. It is in fact to the exist-
ence of many large " bear" accounts that the com-
parative steadiness of prices is mainly owing, whilst
stock is at the same time scarce. This is sufficiently
shown in the fact that money in the Stock Exchange
is worth only Ito 13 per cent. In the railway
market there was a rather marked tendency to de-
pression, bona fide and speculative sales being
equally induced by the very unfavourable
reports current relative to the forthcoming
dividends, combined with the apprehension of further
sales of pawned stock, and of another, though pro-
bably not immediate, Bank movement. The sales
of stock to-day were believed to be chiefly on account
of parties who usually have good information as to
the dividends. London and North Western stock
was driven down in consequence to 1181. It is be-
lieved that as yet the rate of dividend on this stock
has not been finally decided upon, but, whether well
or ill founded, reports that it will be only at the rate
of 5 per cent. per annum are chiefly prevalent. The
rumours as to the dividends on other lines aro also
unsatisfactory. There is a disposition, at the same
time, to look with an unfavourable eye upon the re-
marks of Mr. Laing at the late Brighton meeting, in
which he stated openly that, instead of decreased

TIKE 13T1tGLART AT RAVENSWORTTI CASTLE.—On
Twatlay, Henry Norris, valet to the Hon. Thomas Liddell,
was again brought up before the Durham county malls-
trateo at the Police Court, in Gateshead, on suspicion of beg
Caern in the burary committed at Itavensworth
le on n the morning of gl
the list of December lest. The
bench decided that the prisoner had bceu remanded long
enough, and that as no material evidence had been added to
that of the previous examination, the prisoner must be dig-
c%arred. It is currently rumoured that all the servants at
the Castle are about to leave, in consequence of the unyoke
liebe created by these proceedings.
BRENCIILET.--ISCENDIAktY FIRE.—On Thursday
Wt, about seven o'clock in the evening, a wheat stack,
the Property of Mr. George Wigbtman, of Dunk's Farm,
was dicovered to he on fire. The Tunbridge Wells fire-
engine was sent for, which arrived shortly afterwards,
accompanied by Superintendent Gilbert, Mr. Dadson,
and Si rjeant Swift; aid through the exertions used, a
row of hopping houses and a pea-stack were saved • but the
wheat-stack, containing about 245 quarters, was totally de-
stroyed. A searching investigation was made by the officers
as to the origin of the fire, and from what they could glean
there is no doubt of its being purposely set on fire. Suspi-
cions are entertained of the guilty party, but we ar e not
t present an a position to give further particulars. Mr.
Weghtman is insured.—Maidstone JOUrlif.

charges, as had been expected, it was inal.sos:ible to
keep the expenses within former limits.
Consols were sold in the morning at 991 for cash,
but the government broker caused a rally to 991 to
by his usual daily purchase,and this was the prevalent
quotation of the day. After the regular hours, how-
ever, there were sellers at 99 5-16. Business in our
homo government securities was very quiet. A con-
tango of 1 was reported as having been given to-day
for carrying over a " bull " account to the March
settling. The object of this was probably to escape
the consequences of any posaibie further movement
by the Bank. the operator, doubtless, hoping that
before the March settling the market will in any
case have resumed its previous elasticity of tone. The
official business report of the day includes : Three per

The foreign stock market is devoid of movement.

It is anticipated that the next return of the Bank
of England will show a decrease of between 300,0001.
and 400,000/. in the stock of bullion, which will then
stand a little above 19 millions sterling—still a very
large amount. So far as a judgment can be formed,
it would appear that the course of this item for the
next few weeks will be continuously downward. In
our impression of this morning, we recorded a fur-
ther considerable shipment of gold to Russia, chiefly'
in half imperials, of which coin the Bank had, until
lately, a large stock on hand. This shipment will
affect the return to be published next week. The
drain to the Continent continues, and the shipments
of coin to Australia must amount in the aggregate to
a considerable sum ; whilst on the other hood,
the imports from both the United States and Aus-
tralia are temporarily suspended. The arrivals from
our southern colonies arc very uncertain, bat even
should some large supplies of gold come in from that
quarter, it would require a fortnight before they
could be melted and deposited in the Bank. Nearly
the entire of the late supplies by the Australian
steamer and sailing +ends may be fairly assumed
to have been by this time melted, and to have either
found its way into the Bank or to the Continent, so
that there is nothing ut present to counteract the
drain, except the usual reaction from the internal
circulation that is noticed between the periods of the
quarterly dividend payments; this reaction pro-
gresses very gradually. It is still, however, a
mere question of time as to when the Australian sup-
plies will flow in, as come in they must some time
or other. Indeed home interests to a vast amount
may be said to be dependent upon the ability of
some score of vessels or so to get away from the
Australian ports. It is to the various lines of steam'
communication that we must chiefly look, after all,
as the means of transit of the largo sums in gold due
to us from Anstralia in payment for the immense
supplies of goods and the heavy amounts of cola
despatched from here to meet her necessities.
Monday next, the 7th February, has been fixed for
the settling-day in the shares of the Forth and Clyde
Janction Railway Company, and the Nuneaton,
Hinckley and Leicester Railway Company, both of
which are to be officially marked. Settling-days
hare also been appointed for several new mining
companies, which will be found noticed under the
proper head.
The Spanish financial agent in London has issued
a notice, stating that he is ordered by his govern-
ment to proceed to the conversion of scrip (named
Cetlulas de Prcniiso) of the loanlcontraeted on the 6th
Nov., 1820, with Messrs. Laffitte, Ardoin, and Co.
This conversion is in conformity with the law of the
Ist August, 1851, and is to be carried out on the fol-
lowing basis, viz.: " 1. The capital of the said scrip
will be considered at the rate of twenty-two dollars
each. 2. The conversion will take place at Madrid,
in the general offices of the debt, allowing on the
representative capital two-thirds in Three per Cent.
Interior Deferred Debt, and one-third in Redeemable
Debt of the second class, also interior. 3. Those
who claim the conversion within sixty days from
this date will be entitled to receive interest upon the
Three per Cent. Deferred Stock from the Ist July,
1851, and those who do it afterwards will only be
entitled to the dividend following that in which the
claim was made."

Some attention has been excited here by the re-
ported displacement of Count d'Argout, Governor of
the Bank of France, whose post it is said is about to
be filled by M.Bineau. The change is viewed in a very
unfavourable light, as it is apprehended that the pre-
sent governor has been found not sufficiently pliant
by the imperial government, who consequently pro-
pose putting a tool of their own into that responsible
position. Great confidence has been felt in the inte-
grity and ability of the Count d'Argout, and it will
be remembered that on a former occasion when Louis
Napoleon's government attempted arbitrarily to ef-
fect some imprudent changes in the administration
of the institution, he tendered his resignation,
whereupon the rest of the council of the Bank
declared that if ho resigned they would do so also.
The count is understood to have been always op-
posed to making advances upon the security of
.reich railway property, one of the props by which
the late desperate gambling on the Paris Bourse was
mainly upheld.
In the market for miscellaneous shares, including
insurance, steam-packet, bridge, gas and coke, water-
works, canal, docks, and other undertakings, the ac-
tivity observable a few months back, when such re-
markable ease prevailed in the money market, has
reoff, there being no longer any brisk demand
itivestment. Prices, however, are well sup-
ported. The inquiries for bank shares continue,
and the market for this description of property
consequently maintains on the whole a firm appear-
ance. The late rise in the prices of the Australian
Bank shares is in most instances supported. The
prevalence of higher rates for money, it will not be
forgotten, has usually the effect of adding to the pro-
fits of banking institutions, so that there is really no
cause for depression in this market.
The shares of the Australian Land Companies to-
day were dull, but experienced no further depression.
