PRESENTATION TO CAPTAIN JOHNSTON, OP THE

sem, of the ship Eastern City, burnt at era near the Cape of
Good Hope while en routs from Liverpool to Melbourne with
emigrants in August last, was fomented with a silver salver
and tea service and a purse containing 100 sovereigns, pub-
lic:the& by the merchants of Liverpool. The various pieces
of plate bore the following inscription:—" Nunquam nos
yeratue—Eesecen City, burnt at sea, 24th Augnst, 13193,6::
which ooession the pumpers and crew, 227 in num ,
were, under Providence, mercifully rescued by the Cahn and
intrepid conduct of Captain D. H. Johnston, to whom this
pervi,e, with a puree of 100 envereiges, is presented by the
ne.rehanta. of Liverpool." The presentation was male by
Mr. James Reims, who briefly but warmly eulogind the gal-
lant conduct of Captain Johnston.
PIB4E:IOLA rtozons.—A flock of wood pigeons,
many thousands in number, have been kr the last month in
the neighbourhood of Windermere, but locating themselves
chiefly in the woods and plantations of H. Curvet:, Esq.
In flying from one feeding place to another they have par-
ticular routes, and though there may a score guns di
at them as they palm, the stream goes on in an und=
course, and in this manner hundreds have been killed. Yet
in the aeon line and direction they go next day es if nothing
had happeoed. Twenty-nine morns were counted from the
crop of one bird ; they feed on acorns, beer-Mats, sad
cheetents.—Oseneeriend August.
WHITECROSS•STREET PRISON.—PROPOSED LI-
/MASS.—In the crowded state of the day wards fa the
Whiteercem street Debtors' Prison It has been found that the
well-oonducted among the Inmates, who are gathered from
en grades and herded indiscriminately, are subjected to all
kinds of petty antioysisos and impertinence from the evil-
dilioecd ; and to obviate this the gaol committee of aldermen
have sanctioned the formation of a library and reading-rooms
for the use of the debtors. It is hoped that very little ex-
pense will be incurred, and that grants from book societies and
vAuntary contributions from individuals will be readily ob-
tained for au object so desirable, and so likely to promote the
moral improvement of the prisoner..
COLLISION ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.
—About half-post 7 on Monday evening an accident occurred
on the Greet Western Railway between the Shiffual and
Oaken Gates elation., and some 17 mile' from Wolver-
hampton. There is a siding about halt-way between the
two stations named, and the engine In passing it caught
upon some waggons which had been Imperfectly shouted.
The locomotive tender and first carriage were thrown off the
mile, and right across the line. The passengers were nicer
eerily much shaken, but, with the exception of some four or
ties who were rather severely bruised, and the shook which
all received, they sustained no damage. The through
traffic was of °mime intarrupeed for several hours.
SERIOUS FIRE AT Nornfloaam.—One of the
most alsrming fires which Nottingham has known foe many
years broke oat last night. The large premium of Messrs.
Hine and Mundane, hosiers, became one mass of flames.
The fire was discovered at half-peat 9 o'clock. All the local
engines were at once on the apse and the military kept back
the thousands of spectators. No hops was entertathed of

Two o'CIoOW.

The funds to-day are rather flatter, and the im-
provement of 1-16 to 1. per cent. which took place
yesterday has not been supported. Throughout the
Stock Exchange business is completely stagnant,
pending the delivery of the Queen's Speech.
Steadiness generally prevails, but in a few instances,
in the absence of transactions, prices are a trifle
lower.

With reference to the silk market, the monthly
circular of ➢leans. H. Waldman and Co. reports es
follows:

The milk market continued active during the drat fortnight
of the year, bat has knee become depressed, owing to the
uncertainty which prevails respecting politics on the Continent.
Sum sales of Teatimes have bees forced within the hat lew
days at a decline of about Is. per lb. The deliveries for the
month are 6,962 bales. Bengal silk The brat Wahine are
still fairly current of sale, but the medium sod commoner
qualities are quite neglected. In Italian silk there fa nothing
to notice.

At Paris to-day (Wednesday), according to Mr.
Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes
opened at 68fr. 40c. for the new account
(end of February), but receded to 68G. 25c. at half-
past 1 o'clock. The latter price shows a recovery
of I per cent. compared with the last quotation
of yesterday.
The New Austrian Loan is nominally quoted
to I prem., but transactions are difficult.
Consols are quoted 951 to 1 for money and next
Tuesday, and 951, " buyers," for the 9th March.
The Three per Cents. Reduced have been dealt in
at 951 to 961; the New Three per Cents., at
93/ to 961; Bank Stock, at 2271 to
229; the Indian Four per Cent. Debentures,
of the first issue, at 981 to 99, being still flat; India
Bonds, at 21s. premium; and the March Exchequer
Bills, at 345. to 375. premium.
The foreign stock market is likewise quiet. The
New Turkish Loan is rather firmer, the first series
being quoted 61 to 61 dis.,and the second,6l to 64 die.
The Turkish Guaranteed Four per Cents. are now
quoted ex div. Other foreign stocks have met with
little attention. Sales are recorded as follows :

TVEIIDAT ZYINLIO,

The Donald McKay has arrived from Mel-
bourne in 86 days, with 34,396 ounces of gold,
worth 137,6001. The overland Melbourne advice.
announce the sailing for England of the Norfolk,
Red Jacket, Morning Light, and Tornado, with
123,117 ounces of gold, valued at 492,40 W.
The West India steamer Parana has arrived, with
177,6001. in gold and silver.
The opening of Parliament is awaited with intense
interest, public anxiety having been greatly stimu-
lated during the last few days by the enormous arma-
ments in preparation on all sides, combined with the
league between France and Sardinia. The explana-
tions which will speedily be extracted from Govern-
ment will influence powerfully the course of finan-
cial affairs durieg the next few weeks. Meanwhile,
commercial no lees than speculative transactions are
restrained by the existing suspense.
The discount market yesterday was influenced to
some extent by the instalment of a million sterling
fixed for yesterday on the Victoria Railway Loan ;
but not the slightest pressure was occasioned, and
good bills were readily negotiated at a reduction of
or 3 per cent. from the Bank minimum. At the
Bank the applications were to only a moderate
extent.

About 76,0001. in gold wu sent into the Bank yes-
terday, part Australian and the rest Californian. The
amount of Australian gold purchased for the Conti-
nent to-day was only about 30,0001.
Yesterday afternoon, owing exclusively to
" bids " by brokers who are understood to act
fur the agents of the Austrian government,
the price of the loan was driven up for
a moment to 1 prem. Tho olo3ing quotation was
to 1 prem. It may be necessary to point out that
these operations not being of a bond fide character,
the maintenance of the premium will depend upon
a continuance of this exceptional support. The new
loan has not risen in public estimation since yester-
day. A good deal of discussion has been excited by
the arrangement, that the subscription list shall be
closed an hour or two previous to the delivery of the
Imperial address in the French Chambers.

The Six per Cent. Bonds of the Victor Emmanuel
Railway Company, guaranteed by the Sardinian
government, have fallen to 88 to 90.
Government will despatch 33,000/. in silver for
Hong Kong by the steamer Indus on Friday.

The funds opened this morning with a heavy ap-
pearance, being still prejudiced by the unsettled
state of polities, coupled with the announcement of
the Austrian Loan, and the expectation of an Indian
Loan. In the afternoon, however, more firmness pre-
vailed, and the closing quotations of Consols were
about I per cent. above those of yesterday.
In the share markets a considerable degree of
steadiness prevailed, although there wu a great
lack of business. The tendency was more favour
able in the afternoon than in the morning.

Consols, which closed yesterday at 951 buyers,"
for money and the Bth February, receded this morn-
ing to 951' "sellers," but advanced in the afternoon,
and closed at 951, " buyers." For the 9th of March
the quotation at one period of the afternoon was
961, " buyers," but closed at 951, " sellers." The
" oontango" was quoted only 1-16 per cent. The
government broker purchased 20,0001. stock. The
official business report is as follows :—Three per
Cent. Consols, for money, 961, 1,1; ditto, for account
(Bth, Feb.), 951, 951; Three per Cents. Reduced, 96/,
96 ; New Three per Cents., 96, 951, 96, 951; Thirty
Years Anne., expiring in Jan., 1880, 15-16; Thirty
Years Anna., April, 1886, 181; Bank Stock, 2271;
Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Exchequer Bonds, falling
payable in May next, 1001, 100/.
The Indian Four per Cent. Debentures, of the first
issue, were likewise officially worked 981 and 991,
showing a fresh reduction.
Exchequer Bills of both issues were quoted 344. to
371. prem., and India Bonds 225. to 265. prem.
The foreign stock market was quiet.
The new shares of the Lombardo-Venetian Rail-
way Company closed this afternoon at 3-16 to pm.,
although the telegram brought the price from Paris
only lf. above par. It is believed that the Pada
Bourse has been exceptionally de reused to-day,
by "executions" of speculators in these shares. In
tee London Stock Exchange the settlement has thus
far proceeded very satisfactorily, and proves that

Co., in the silk trade, with an establishment at
Lyons. The liabilities in the latter ease are esti-
mated at about 800,000 f., or 24,0001. sterling.
The letters from Constantinople are strangely
silent respecting the loan of 90,000,000 piastres,
alleged to have been raised there by the Turkish
government. They state, however, that a loan of
30,000,000 piastres, or about 220,0001., has
been raised locally, with the assistance of
the Ottoman Bank. This loan is for a short
period, being repayable within the present year.
The rate of interest is 8 per cent., besides 2 per cent.
commission; and the proceeds are to meet a portion
of the debts of the Sultan's Civil List. It is fur-
ther mentioned that the government, acting upon
the sound advice given to them, have determined to
call upon the merchants who, by a very lax system,
have been allowed to obtain credit for arrears of
duties, to give at once three months' bills. The
amount involved is said to be considerable.
