MALTON, TNOR:DAY.
The weather in Yorkshire is much milder, only
11 .legrees of frost being registered on Wednesday night.
Very heavy falls of snow have °occurred, particularly
towards the east coast, which a strong north-east wind
IL. drifted tremendously in places. The railway cut.
tings are hare and there nearly full, and coneidei -
able delay ia occsaioned. On the Hull and Scarborough
line, between Bridlington and the latter place, a dead
lock has ensued. On Wedneolay afternoon, the cuttings
through the span of the welds near the Speeton summit
became so drifted that a oode train from Scarbro' to Hull
stuck fast, and the clouds of snow from off the wold hills
came down so heavy that the train could not even he
backed out of the snow. Shortly afterwards the Hull cx.
press to Si:sidle.). ran into the drifts at the same part of the
line, and stuck fast. The ii.lo train from Scarhro' shared
the same fate, and brought up in deep snow a little way
behind the goods trains. The K p.m. train from Hull came
to a stop also a little behind the imprisoned express, and
there all these trains have been stuck during the night,
the passengers making themselves as comfortable as
possible under the awkward circumstances. At :;
o'clock this morning, a relief train and tool van and 711C11
left the Drillield end, but up to 10 o'clock no intelligence
of help to the prisoners had been received. The morning
train from Hull ventured on. but how it has fared is not
yet known. The traffic, meanwhile, is being worked
between Hull and Scarborough, via the Melton and
Drib eld line,. which, though much driftesl, is yet open.
The communication from Balton to Scarborough, Whitby,
and Think has also been kept open.

THE VACANCY IN NORTH NORTHAMPTONSHIRE.
The Stanford Mercury appeals to the conservatives to
allow Mr. Fitzpatrick Vernon to take the vacant seat " as
Bquietly and courteously as that gentleman allowed Lord
urghley and Mr. Ward Hunt to be returned in 1865 awl
Lord Burghley to be re-elected alter taking office in 1860,"
but lest the spirit of conciliation should be dead on the
conservative side, " and a few restless squires, in their
dislike of the people and the slightest extension of the
franchise, should again resist the fair claims of the libe-
rals, the latter should without delay organise their com-
mittees, and be prepared to meet their opponents with
alacrity and vigour."
THE MARQUIS OF LANSDOWNE AT CALNE.
The persons who recently left the parish church at Caine
having applied to the Marquis of Lansdowne for the
grant of a site on which to build a " free church,"
have received from the noble lord a courteous, but
st the same time, a dignified and emphatic denial ; he will
neither sell nor give a piece of land, and for this cogent
ream that he cannot regard them as a sect of dissenters,
but as a number of persons who simply refuse to worship in
the pariah church because they disagree with the doctrines
taught by the vicar. We are told that his lordship con-
chided his reply with expressing an earnest hope that the
estrangement between themselves and their clergyman
would soon cease to exist. A site has since been procured
in the New-road. Last Sunday a clergyman from Tod-
morden (who has also seceded from the church) preached,
but we have not heard what approval he received from
those persons who still insist upon being called members of
the church of England.—Deri.v.s Gazette. _ _

WESTMINKTa HOSPITAL. —iii7i'rancis Mason,
F.R.C.S.. of Conduit-street, late aaristant-surgeon to
King's College Hospital, has just been unanimously
elected assistant-surgeon to the Westminster Hospital, in
the vacancy occasioned by the appointment of Mr. Chris-
topher Heath to the assistant-surgeoncy of University
College Hospital.
It may be interesting to our readers to know
that the young oyster brood of the South of England
Oyster Company (Limited) spatted last June at Haylinr,
have not been injured by the late severe west' er, and are
in perfect health.

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.,

on °Twat.

The dealings in public securities to-day are upk,n
a limited scale, and prices iu most cases exhibit a
drooping tendency. The large withdrawal of
gold from the Bank yesterday for the Continent,
and the anticipation that additional sums
will also be taken, in consequence
of the tlatne 4•4 of the Paris exchange,
have cause,] speculative 'tales for lower prices,
while little support is aflOrdedi to the markets by
purchases on account of the public. Consols have
further declined 1-16 to .1 per cent., and some of
the British railway stocks are Ito 1 lower. There
is an inquiry, however, for a few of the foreign
bonds, at a slight improvement.
The supply of bills in the discount market to-day
is very small, while the amount of money
seeking employment is superabundant. The
charge for the best paper is 2i to 3
per cent., but the former quotation is
rather exceptional. In the Stock Exchange loans
fur short periods, on the English government secu-
rities, are offered at 11 per cent.
Consols are now quoted 91.11it0 1, ex div., both
for money and the account (February 7).
Turkish bonds of 1862 are in request and have
advanced # per cent. Turkish of 1865, Spanish
Passive, the Committee's Certificates, Land Russian
scrip have likewise improved 1, but Italian of 1861
andMexicanhaverecededtothelikeexteat. Turkish
Bonds of 1862 are quoted 54 to 65, ex div. ;
ditto of 1865, 291 to A, ex div.; Greek, 141
to ; Spanish Passive, 21f to 22; ditto Certifi-
cates, 144 to ; Italian of 1861, 53,1 to 1, ex thy. ;
Mexican, 17/ to 18 ; and Russian Scrip, 11 to it
prem.

The scrip of the new Chilian Loan is per cent.
lower than yesterday, at prem.

American securities are unaltered. The 5-20
Bonds are quoted 721 to ; Erie Railway shares,
43 to 44 ; and Illinois Central, 81 to
International Financial shares are quoted
to 2g dis. ; London Financial, 14 to 17/ dis. ;
General Credit, 2 to 11 dia. ; Credit Foncier,
51 to 5 dis. ; and Hudson's Bay, 14 to ex div.
It is notified that the liquidators of the British
and Californian Banking Company are now prepared
Ito return to the shareholders the sum of Si. per
share of the paid up capital of 71. 10s. per share.
The ordinary general meeting of the shareholders
of the North Western Bank will be held on the
28th inst.

The new Chilien Loan of 2,000,0001. has been
received with a considerable degree of favour, a
circumstance which is not unsatisfactory, from the
proof it affords of a continued disposition on the
part of the public to exercise unusual discrimina-
tion in their investments. It cannot be doubted
that this loan is well secured, while it at the same
time yields a rate of interest sufficiently high
to enable the prudent investor to set apart
a good sum annually as insurance against those
contingencies which are applicable in a greater or
less degree to nearly all foreign securities. The
conditions required by rational irvestors being ap-
parently fully complied with in this instance, the
applications yesterday, the first day, have reached a
total of about 6,500,0001. It is thus already evi-
dent that the allotment will be a work of no ordi-
nary difficulty, and it is inferred that, as no de-
posit has been required from applicants, the agents
for the loan will exercise a free discretion in the
distribution. _ _

The demand for gold for exportation was rather
active yesterday, owing to the flatness of the Paris
exchange, and in the absence of supplies in the
market, a further sum of 141,0001. was taken from
the Bank, of which 100,0001. consisted of sovereigns,
and the rest of bats. There is an impresaion that
further withdrawals will take place, as it would
appear that payment has to be made, amongst
other things, for recent imports of corn.
_ _ ' - --•

The steamer La Plata has arrived from the West
Indies with 257,5001., of which 193,000/. is silver,
and 64,500/. gold.
The Colonial Bank of Australasia have announced
that the Six per Cent. Mortgage Bonds of the
Melbourne and Hobson's Bay United Railway
Company, offered by them as for sale up to the
26th instant, have been all taken up.
In the matter of Overend, Gurney, and Co., the
motion to remove certain alleged shareholders
from the list of members was brought forward
before Vice-Chancellor Melina yesterday, and ex-
cited considerable interest. The Attorney-Gene-
ral opened the case on behalf of the Defence Asso-
ciation at considerable length, and explained the
hopeless insolvency of the old firm at the time of
the transfer of its business. It appeared from the
evidence that the directors of the new company
were well acquainted with the fact that the
4,213,896/. was only estimated to produce, even
under the most favourable circumstances, a sum of
1,082,0001., leaving a known deficiency of 3,131,8961.,
To meet this loss, the directors say they were
under the impression that the 500,000/. to be re-
ceived for the goodwill, added to the value
of the private estates of the partners, would
be sufficient. It appeared from the evi-
dence that of the sum estimated to be pro-
duced from the private estates, an amount of
767,000/. was due from the Norwich Bank, and.
300,000/. was included as the value of the good-
will of that establishment. These estates of the
partners were in no way made over to the limited
company, but were retained by them, and are now
in the possession of their trustees for the benefit of
all their numerous creditors. The case is to be
again brought forward for argument to-day.
The Great Western Railway traffic return shows
this week an increase of 1,9451. over the correspond-
ing period of 1866 ; the Great Northern, an in-
crease of 2,759/. ; the Great Eastern, a decrease
of 3,459/. ; the London and South Western, an
increase of 597/. ; the Lancashire and Yorkshire,
an increase of 3,2791. ; the North Eastern, a de-
crease of 4,642/. ; the Manchester, Sheffield. and
Linoohishire, a decrease of 1,895/. ; the North
British, a decrease of 501/. ; the London, Chatham,
and Dover, including the Metropolitan Extension
and branches, an increase of 482!. ; the Metro-
politan Extension, an increase of 181. ; and the
Kent Coast, a decrease of 801.

The directors of the London and Provincial Ma-
rine Insurance Company have resolved to recom-
mend to the shareholders at the ordinary general
meeting the payment of a dividend at the rate of
10 per cent. per annum.

The following is the 21st report of the directors
of the National Discount Company (Limited), to
be submitted at the general meeting on the 23rd
instant :
The directors have to report that by the payment on the
Ist September last of the second instalment of 2/. 101. per
share on the new shares created in February, 1806, the
paidaip capital on the 31st December amounted to
690,910/., and the reserve fund to 390,940/. The accounts
which the directors have the pleasure to present herewith,
notwithstanding the very depressed period over which
they extend, show results which cannot but be gratifying
to the shareholders, the gross profit having amounted to
130,232/. os. lid., and after providing for the c urrent expendi-
tore, directors' and auditors' remuneration, making ample
provision for bad and doubtful debts, and reservinr.; 1:037.
17s. 3d. toward. redemption of premises, and 42,174/.
2s. Ad. for rebate of interest on bills not yet due, there
remains, with the rum of 3,633/. Is. Id. brought forward
from the previous half-year, an available balance of
77,7721. 10s. ltd. This enables the directors to declare a
dividend at the rate of 20 per cent. per annum, free of
income-tax, upon both old and new capital, and to carry
forward 9,527/. 10s. Ild. to the next account. The
directors who retire by rotation on this occasion are Mr.
M. H. Chaytor, Mr. A. Mackenzie, Mr. W. J. Thompsan,

Considering that this return shows the effect of the
completion of the dividend payments, it is by no
means unfavourable. What the Bank has parted
with through withdrawals of private deposits—
reaching nearly two milliona--has been almost
wholly made up to it by repayments of advances on
private securities (the decrease in this item being
1,751,2G01.) ; and the result is a draught to the
extent of only 114,611". upon the reserve. The
Bank is relatively stronger than it was last week,
because it has lost little reserve by compariun with
the large diminution in its liabilities. In the coin
land bullion there is a decrease of 158,007/.
