BOURSE.

We gave yesterday the quotations of the Bourse,
which was suddenly, and contrary to all expectation, re-
opened on Tuesday. So little were the people of basin, as
prepared for this, that the agent-de-change, who bad
actual orders from thtir clients were not all present.
On entering the l'arquet a considerable time clips. d
before either demands or offers were made. At length
the Threes were demanded at 5-5, and offered at
GO. Sales were then actually effected at the intermediate
price of 53. The Fives were dome at 97 50 with coupon
detached. In general business was limited to cash transac-
tions, and it was with difficulty that some transactions
d terme were concluded. Primes were done at 50, discount
one franc upon the Threes, and 3 50 difference from the
cash price; 10f, upon the Northern, at 50 difference.
Offers were made for every kind of transactions, but
were with great difficulty disposed of, no matter at what
price.
As for the Coulisse, the only business which was trensected
was to prepare for the settlement of differences, such as they
have been regulated by the rate of compensation at 72f,
The Parquet has not altered the rate of compensation
which had been fixed upon, and which remains as 70f. 50e.
Some of the agents-de-change have already resumed
their operations upon that basis. Business for money
was much brisker after the closing of the Parquet for the
Threes than for the Fives. Sales of the Fives were, in fact,
almost impossible, consequently the Fives declined much
more than the Threes. They opened at 97f. 50c., and closed,
dividend detached (or at par with it), and gradually de-
clined to 69, at which they closed. If compared with
the prices of Feb. 23, the last day on which business was done
at the Bourse before the revolution, the Five per Cents. will
be found to have undergone a fall of 24f. 60c., and
the Threes 17f. 70c. The Four per Cents., which
closed to-day at 80f., and the Four and a Half
at 85f. (dividend detatched from both), have each fallen 16f.
50c. Some of the other stocks thew a tremendous deprecia-
tion; thus Bank of France show a fall of 789 f.
City of Paris Bonds, 385 f. ; Bank of Algiers shares,
155 f. ; Quatre Cantu:, 150 f. In French railway
shares the decline in very remarkable; thus Or-
leans clewed at 950 f.. or 2301. lower; Rouen, at 525 f,
or 308 f. 50c. lower; Havre, at 250 f., or 167 f. 50e. lower ;
Strasburg, at 3.57 f., or 63f. Vie. lower; Vierzon, at 37.5 f.,
or 126 f. 25c. lower; Northern, at 375 f., or 161 f. 25c. lower;
Lyons at 2.321. 50c., or 92f. 50e. lower; Bordeaux, at 405 f.
or 701. lower ; Nantes, at 325 f. or 55 lower, and Bale at 105 f.,
or 32f. 50c. lower.
The sinking fund purchased Threes and Fives to the
amount of 256,000 f. ; and it was reported these transactions
were to be continued to-morrow. As soon as the bell rang
for three o'clock almost all the coulissiers withdrew, con-
trary to their general custom. It was remarked, during
the day, that M. Archdeacon, a most respectable agent-de-
change, was constantly a buyer; he is said to have laid
oat about 3,000,000 f. in the purchase of French Threes and
Fives. There was no agitation during the day, every
thing being exceedingly calm and orderly. Several of the
`agents-de-change were in the costume of national guards.

MANCHESTER MEETING.
We hare the following by the Electric Telegraph
Company's Express:
MANCHESTER, MARCH 9, 11 A.m.
The meeting announced, not by placard but by chalk on
the walls, took place at 10 this morning, at New Cross (the
part of Manchester which corresponds with St. Giles's in its
position and character). Not more than 1,000 were then
assembled. Soon alter that hour, a young Irishman, whose
name we understood to be Murphy, proposed an immediate
adjournment of the meeting to Saint George's-fields, a large
open space on the north-east of the city, where, he said,
neither their tyrant masters, nor their " myrmidons of the
police," could interfere with them. This having been
agreed to, they instantly formed in irregular order,
marched down Oldham-road ; and on their way,
they broke the windows of several small shop-
keepers. Their numbers increased considerably on the
way; and when they arrived, the same young man continued
his speech, which consisted principally of exhortions
to his hearers to imitate " the Scottish Patriots" in their
conduct, and in attributing the evils of the country to the
existence of an aribt.cracv. The " Scottish Patriots," he
said, had nobly vindicated their claim to the tittle of free-
men. He then proposed that they should march round to
all the various mills and workshops in the city, to claim the
sympathies of the body of the working people ; an 4 by ex-
horted them, further, not to destroy any property on their
way. The proceedings are still going on.
