attention of the government to the conduct of the

MONBY MARKET-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLoac

Great agitation has prevailed in the Chock Ex-
change to-day, owing to the ministerial crisis
coupled with a variety of disquieting rumours. Heavy
sales of Consols were pressed, leading to a fresh fall
of about i per cent. An important rally has since
taken place, but prices are still quoted at this moment
i per cent. lower than they closed on Saturday. In
the other departments of the Stock Exchange a
heavy fall has taken place, followed by a partial
recovery.

Console for money and the 4th March were
first marked 96/, and, after falling to 96, " sellers,"
are now quoted 98i to j. The Three per
Cents. Reduced have been dealt in at
96 to 97 ; the New Three per Cents.
at 97/ to 961 (last at 96i); Bank Stock at 225;
India Stock at 222; Exchequer Bills (March)
at 225.. pram; ditto June, at 225. to 235. pram.

Foreign studs are in many cases weaker. Turkish
Six per Cents. were pressed for sale as low as 991; the
present quotation is loot to 1, being about; per cent.
below the closing quotation of Saturday. The
Guaranteed Four per Cents. as well as Spaniah,
Portuguese, Sardinian, Peruvian, Mexican, and some
other descriptions are cheaper. Sales are re-
corded as follows : Brazilian Old Five
per Cents., for account (26th of February), 103;
Buenos Ayres Six per Cents., 80 to 821, ex the
Deferred Bonds ; ditto Deferred Three per Cents., 19,
Chili= Six per Cents., 106; Dutch Four per Cent.
Certificates, 101 to 1001; Equador New Consoli-
dated Bonds, 14 ; Granada Deferred Bonds, 6;
Mexican Bonds, for account, 201; Peruvian Four-
and-a-Half per Cents. for account, 82 to 811; Portu-
guese Three per Cents., 18,53, for account, 46 to 461;
Sardinian Five per Cents. for account, 92 to 911;
Spanish old Three per Cents., for account, 431,43/,
and 44; ditto, New Deferred Three per
Cents. for account, 26, 261, and 26} ;
Turkish Six per Cents. for account (26th February),
1001, 991 and 1001; ditto, Guaranteed Four per Cents.,
for account, 101 to 1031, ex div. ; Venezuela De-
ferred Five per Cents, 131 and 121.
At Paris to-day (Monday), according to Mr.
Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentz.
opened at 69fr. 20c. for the account, showing a fresh
fall of about 1 per cent. Leas uneasiness seems to
prevail in Paris than here.
By the steamers Fulton and Canada, 112,0001.
in specie has arrived from New York for England.
It is creditable to the patriotism of the mem►ers
of the Stock Exchange that, although the temporary
check to bushman involved in a ministerial crisis
cannot but be detrimental to their interests, the vote
of Friday night was celebrated at the opening of
the market the following morning by several rounds
of cheering. In nearly all other circles a
feeling of satisfaction has also been strongly ex-
pressed. The extreme moderation of tone by which
Mr. M. Gibson's amendment was characterised has
evidently won for it the adhesion of all classes of the
public.
At the Bank of England on Saturday the applica-
tions for accommodation were very scanty. In the
open market the rate of discount for first-class bills
remains at 21 to 2/ per cent., and the demand shows
no symptoms of revival. It may be pointed out that
political anxieties are not likely to disturb the ex-
isting ease of the money market, since their tendency
must be rather to check trade.

About 20,0001. of the Californian gold ex the
steamer Orinoco hes already been taken for the
Continent.

According to_preeent appearances, the remittance,
of silver to the East by the steamer which will leave
Southampton for Alexandria on Wednesday next
will be abort 300,0001.

The Northumberland, from Melbourne, which ar-
rived off Falmouth on the Bth inst., reached Deal on
Saturday. The 187,8241. in gold is expected to be de-
livered to-day or Tuesday. A considerable portion
will probably be purchased on continental account.
The imports of the precious metals last week have
again been large. Our list includes 403,0001. by the
Europa, and 2,0001. by the Kangaroo, both from New
York; 11,7821. by the Tagus, from the Peninsula;
111,0701. by the Orinoco, from the West Indies, &c. ;
1,0881. by the Speedy, from Sydney ; and 2,8101. by
the Indus, from Alexandria.
The total value of these arrivals is about 832,0001.
In addition, about 80,0001. in silver is known to
have reached the Thames from the Continent.
The

weekly statement of the
exports of the precious metals direct from London
comprises 22,978 ounces of gold and 168,315 ounces
of silver, representing a total value of about 128,0001.
The particulars are as follows, viz.: Gold coin, to
Boulogne, 11,240 oz. ; to Hamburg, 78 oz. • to
Rotterdam, 460 oz.; to Bremen, 1,200 oz.: gold 171125,
to Belgium, 10,000 os. : silver coin, to Rotterdam,
152,800 oz. ; to Boulogne, 3,400 oz. ; to Hamburg,
116 oz.

The Tagus has also taken 3001. in specie for the
Peninsula ; the Atrato, 16,8001. for the West Indies
and the Colombo, 217,4681., nearly all silver, for the
Bast.

The ascertained shipments of the week, as offi-
dally
reported, are thus raised to about 362,0001.
The private remittances of gold to the Continent,
however, are known to have been very extensive,
comprising the bulk of the imports.
Letters from St. Petersburg mention that at the
brilliant ball which was given by the British Am-
bassador, Lord Wodehouse, in celebration of
the nuptials of the Princess Royal with
Prince Frederick William, the Czar himself was
present. The rest of the royal family were invited
as a matter of course, but the fact that his Imperial
Majesty honoured the entertainment with his pre-
genre is regarded by persona acquainted withßiuman
customs as of considerable importance. Russian
society will now feel around that the relations be-
tween their government and that of Great Britain
are now mally restored to a cordial footing.
Contracts for a large quantity of rail for the
Russian railways have lately been made through
an eminent Engliah house.
Sir George Grey has presented to the Hones of
Common, the petition, signed by nearly all the
leading members of the Stock Exchange, praying
Ithat parliament will sanction the clan in the new
1" Bill for the better regulation of the corporation of
the City of London" which provides for the abolition
of the broker's tax and license system. The pre-
paration of the petition has been principally

The directors of the Bank of 7..;p7%it ..ve issued
their report, which is highly satisfactory. The net
profits for the six months ending the 31st December
were 14,2121. After setting apart 2,0001. towards
the preliminary expenses, and 5,0001. to form the
nucleus of a reserve fund, 6,5621. is appropriated to
a dividend at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum, and
1,8191. remains to be carried forward. The opening
of the Cairo branch, hitherto deferred, is now in
course of arrangement. The annual meeting of the
shareholders is called for the sth of Marsh.

The directors of the South Eastern Railway Com-
pany invite applications for 1,000,0001 of Guaranteed
Four per Cent. Debenture Stock. It is hoped that
in this way a considerable portion of the company's
debenture debt may be absorbed.
The half-yearly meeting of the Caledonian Rail-
way Company is called for the 12th of March, at
Glasgow.
The half-yearly meeting of the Submarine Tele-
graph Company is called for the 3rd of March, and
that of the Genesal Iron Screw Collier Company for
the 27th inst.

lIATUNDAT Ivisrpro.

The signal defeat of Ministers in the House of
Cosmos last night has created considerable excite-
meat if all City circles—each a result of the debate
not having been generally antieipated. In the
lib* Exchange, what, escalation for the ries,

based upon the abundance of money, has of late been
predominant, the effect upon prices has been very
unfavourable. The lands opened with an unsettled
appearance at a reduction of fully # per cent. from
the closing quotations of yesterday. At one period
a fresh fall of 1 per cent. was quoted, but when it
became known that the immediate effect on the
Paris Bourse had been • fall of only about 1 per
cent. (the Three per Cent. Renter having opened
this morning at 69.75 for the account),
the English funds became somewhat firmer.
The latest quotations, however, were still per
sent. below those of yesterday. Nearly all
other classes of securities exhibit a fall. Indian rail..
way shares, amongst others, were depressed, owing
to the prospect of the India Bill being lost through
the break-up of the Cabinet. The sales generally do
net appear to have been extensive, and were prin-
cipally to close the accounts of operators for the rise.
At the close' ll the markets were dull in character.
Consols, which closed yesterday. at 971 to 1 for
the 4th March, opened this morning at 961 to 97,
fell to 961 to rallied to 961, " buyers," and closed
at 961 to 1. The price for money is now the same
as that for the account. The official business report
is as follows i—Three per Cent. Consols, for mouncee
961, 96, 961, 981 ; ditto, for account (4th March
981, 961,
97, 961, 96/. Three per Cents. Rad
971, 97. New Three per Cents., 971, 97/, 971,
971. Long Annuities, expiring in lan., 1860, 2 146.
India Bonds, 325. prem.
Exchequer bills have again declined. The March
bills were dealt in at 235. to 255. prem., and the
June at 245. to 81e. prem. The former were finally
quoted 22a. to 265. prem., and the latter 245. to 30s.

Foreign stocks were generally lower. Turkish
Six per Cents, were officially marked from 100* to
101 k, but 101, "sellers," seems to have been almost
the lowest point touched to-day. The closing quo-
tation wu 101 to k, or k per cent. below that of
leeterday. The Guaranteed Four per Cents. declined
per cent., being last quoted 104 to ex div.
panish Deferred Three per Cents. closed at 28k to
and the Passive Bonds at 61 to f. Sardinian
Bonds were firm, leaving off at 92 to 1, and Russian
Bonds showed great comparative steadiness ; but,
with these exceptions, the market was heavy.
