to-day.

THE ALBERT PARK.—It is stated that during one
week the committee who are promoting the establishment
of a park for the northern part of the metrop.•lis received
upwards of 1,300 signatures and testimonials from the phy-
sicians and surgeons of London to a memorial to govern-
ment, urging it: necessity as a sanitary measure.
ACSTRALI.VI FIGURE-S.—ln August last the
population of the province of Victoria in Aus-
tralia was 350,000. About 100,000 were at the
gold diggings. The yield of gold for the pre-
vious month was estim►ted at 170,000 ounces. The popul.t-
Ono of VietOth was increasing from emigration at the rate
of about 8,00) persons a month. Item custom-house re-
' turns it was ascertained that 31 gallons of spirits, 24 gallons
of wine, lilbs. of tea, Blbs. of coffee, and 33lbs. of to-
bacco, must be considered to be consumed annually in Vic-
toria by every one of the population. At Melbourne the
anise! of foreign vessels averaged about 100 a month.
THE SCREW-STEAMER CIRESUS, Which is advertised
to leave England for Australia on the 10th of January
next, will tette out ship letter-hags for all the Australian
ports. She is advertised to start two days after the mail
for Australia is despatched from England, by way of
France and India, and will afford a most favourable oppor-
tunity for again testing the relative merits of the Cape and
Itt lion routcs to the gold colonies. The Cronus is 700 tons
burden, and 50 borer-power more than the Argo, the last
steamer that competed successfully with the Overland Mail.
SINGULAR PHENOMENON AT ABERDARE.—At the
Gaii!yo Iron and Coal Company's works, in the vicini'y of
Aberdare, in Glamorganshire, as some workmen were
sinking a abaft, at a distance of 53 yards below the surface,
they came upon a most extensive mass or " blower " of
expl•n:ve gas. which burst out of the solid rock. It was
conducted by pipes, and, at the ►eight of five yards from
the ground, the gas was ignited, when it burst out into a
flame three yards in length.
MILITIA ARTILLERY.—The twenty-eight days'
training of the Royal Lancashire corps, command e 4 by Sir
Duncan M'll.tugall, terminated on the 30th of October.
Colonel Brereron, C. 8., of the Royal Rorie Artillery, in-
spected the regiment, when, after rnarehieg past is open
and close columns, besides the exercises of the garrison and
field guns, Tarltons battalion movements were performed
with a crlerity equal to that of any regular corps.—Liver •

'whiles. As an illustration of this temper on the
part of speculators for the fall, it may be mentioned
that one of the last transactions of the day was a sale

of 100,000Lstock at 95 for the Deeetaberaccouut. The

sum of 13-16ths (184.9 d.) per cent. has been given to
some extent for the " put" (or optional sale) of Con-
sole during the whole of the December account, at
95. The rate charged fur the " put axe call" of

Consols for the December account is 11 to 2 per cent.
In other words, for this rate the operator purchases

the right of either selling or buying (as he may
think fit), at a fixed price during the account. The
advantage of this arrangement is, that the operator
in question knows the exact amount of the lobs he
may sustain. Intrinsically, however, as we have
several times observed of late, the stock market re-

m ins good, the scarcity of stock tending to afford it
much support. From Paris, to-day, a rise of nearly
1 per cent. comes reported, and the Vienna Bourse
has also risen. In the afternoon, reports were cur-
rent that unfavourable political news was to be
looked for, and some degree of uneasiness was
excited in consequence.
Consols opened 93 to 1 for Thursday, rose to 95
to 1, and had receded at the official close to 931 to
for money, and 931 to I for the 10th instant. At
4 o'clock the tone was still rather flatter, with the
quotation standing at 95 to fur 'fbursday, and 941
to 93 for the 6th December. The official business
list is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consuls, for
money, 934, 93, 951, 1,1, 4, ; ditto, for account,
10th Nov., 95, 934, I. 'three per Cent. Reduced,
944, I, 1, 1. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 961,,1
96, 964,1. Long Annuities, 1860, 5 3-16, 5 5-16.
India Stock, 254. Bank Stock, '217.
Exchequer Bills remain quoted 2s. to 3a. prem.,
and India Bonds par to 3s. prem.
In the foreign stock market the transactions were
not extensive, but prices generally show much firm-
ness. The exception was Mexican, which declined
per cent., the late rise having led to some cousider-
able sales. Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents.
were quoted 11. higher. Spanish showed au im-
proving tendency, including the Committee's Cer-
tificates : —At four o'clock Mexican Bonds were
quoted 254 to 1. Spanish Deferred, 214 to 221;
the Certifs., 51 to 54 per cent. Peruvian Three per
Cents., 50 to 52; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents.,
72 to 73. Granada Deferred, 71 to 8; ; Russian
Five per Cents., 113 to 113; ditto Four-and-a-Half
ppeerr Cents., 98 to 100; Sardiuian Five per
Cents., 92 to 93. The list of actual transac-
tions, as officially rendered, is as follows :
Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 95 ex div.
Brazilian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1852, 95.
Cuba Seven per Cent. Bonds (Matanzas and Saba-1
nilla Itailway),lo2. Chilian Six per Cents., 100, 1011.
Danish Five per Cents., 102. Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents., for account 16th Nov., 64 ; ditto Four per
Cent. Certifs., 951. Equador Bonds, si. French
Three per Cent. Renter, 731. 23c. (exchange, 25f. 3c.)
Mexican Three per Cents., 254, 26. Portuguese
Four per Cents., 42, /, 411. Russian Four•and-a-
Half per Cents., 99, 981. Spanish Old Three per
Cents., 45k, 1; ditto New Deferred Three per
Cents., 22,1 ; the Committee's Certificates, 31 per
cent. •
Money continues obtainable on prime paper, which
has not more than six or seven weeks to run, at 41
per cent. On long-dated and inferior bills higher
rates continue to be charged. The supply of money
is ample, but a good demand for accommodation
li'l experienced.
The advice, received to-day from several important
Icorn markets of the continent, report a downward
tendency.
In the market fur foreign exchanges this after-1
noon, the tendency of quotations was still down•
wards, i.e., unfavourable to this country. Bills on
Hamburg were much enquired for at 13.5, and were
done as low as 13.4 f. Paper on Amsterdam was
dealt in as low as 11.151, for three months. The
downward tendency of the rates of these two
exchanges is assisted by the late rise in the price of
i silver. Paper on Paris was also in request at 24.971,
let short ; and three months bills were not to be met
'with at 25.23. Drafts on Vienna and Trieste were
rather more enquired for, and the rates ruled a shade
lower than those of last post.
Gold continues to be despatched to the continent,
stimulated by the downward tendency of the ex-
clian;es. Of the 30,000 ounces brought in by the
Phomician the larger portion has been taken for
shipment to France. To-day the demand tor that
quarter was rather more decided. Neve-theless,
owing to the extensive supplies lately receivi d from
Australia and the United States, we hear of further
amounts of gold having to-day been sent into the
Bank.
The statements made in Paris letters relative to the
disposition of the French government to modify the
import duties on iron, caused a rise of 2s. per cwt
to-day in the price of Scotch pig. iron, which ruled
at Ttis. buyers. Copper has also risen Id. per lb., or
9.. 10s. per ton.
The amount of bills drawn by the East India
Company on their respective presidencies, from the
24th to the 7th inst., is as folows :
