Western, 481 to f ; Lanashire and Yorkshire, 89f
to 901, after being marked 901 ; Midland, 971 to f ;
London and South Western, 48 to f per share;

INDIAN MUTINY RELIEF FUND.—CODDribUtiOne
continue to be received from the remotest dependencies of
the crown, accompanied by oommunicaticas expressed in
terms of deep sympathy for our so Serbs( oonntrynarm in the
East. Lima, including the Valley of Canes, and the
Chincha Islands alone have lately contributed 6251. 16s. 2d.,
while St. Lucia transmits 671. 13s. 7d.; St. Kitts, 1441.
4s. 9d. ; the Falkland Islands, 271. 10s. ; sad Trinidad wadi
a second remittance, 1471. 6s. ed. Independent of this mate-
rial aid, it is gratifying to observe the tone of feeling is
which all dares in these remote dependenche appear to have
responded to the appeal made to their sympathies from the
centrsi committee. All classes have 00-opessted, and it is
mentioned in • latter from Turks' Island, as worthy of
remark, that a small detachment of the let West India
Regiment, stationed there, under Lieutenant Stricken, have
contributed one day's pay.

DEPUTATION OF CORONERS TO THE HOME
Szcarrazr.—Yasterday afternoon • very numerous depu-
tation of members oil:dsrotansent and coroners waited upon
the Bight Han. S. W The deputation included Earl
Grosvenor, M.P., H. 'Vane, M.P., Mr. Cobbett. M.P.,
Mr. Sadism, M.P., Mr. Wakloy, Mr. Baker, Mr. Cutter,
Mr. Lewis, Mr. Knuckles, and edam evens from different
parts of the country. Mr. Cabbage, M.P introduced the
deputstion, and stated that in tits Werbirc*of Yoeicshire
the magistreass bad to • great attest the adios of
coroner. In INK a committee of the Home of Common' sat,
but were prevented from completing their irk by a dissolu-
tion of parliament. Mr. Cartier, Mr. Phillip_ and other
gentlemen having spoken on the mess subject, Mr. Walpole
admitted the state of the law to be bad, and mid he would
recommend the re-sppointment of the committee, and give
it every support. The deputation then withdrew.
AN AWKWARD RF.COGNITION.—A pretty young
woman named Bourguhrnon, representing -herse to be •
singer M • café, was on Saturday tried by the Tribunal of
Correctional Police, Pali!' on the charge of swindling. A
hard-featured matron of the name of Gobet made a sluts-
meat to the following effect —Three months ago she sent
out hor husband to take bar dog, Loulon, for • walk, but he
returned without the dog, and said that It had run away.
Gobet immediately had placards stuck up, casings re-
ward of Mfr. for its recovery, and, in a few boars, the animal
was brought to her by an old woman, who received the
mossy. A few days sitar she again sat M. Gobet oat with
W dog, but he once more returned without It. She an
had Pseuds printed, offering 30tr. reward, and the anal
was brought back to har. A third time the animal
disappeared, bat Madame Gobet would not give more
mosey; but in a day or two it wits conveyed M bar
bongs by some person unknown. Some little time after she
resolved to take M. Gobet and the dog on • trip to Asnieres;
and, whihd waiting in the railway station at Paris for the
departure of the trsin, dm perceived that the dog jumped on
and rammed a dashingly-dressed young woman. This
latter seemed confused at the sninud's notice, and Madams
Oohed noticed that her husband was also somewhat die-
concerted. As the dog continued its caresses, the young
woman cried out, "Get down, Loulou l" On this the sus-
picion flashed soros. Madame Gobst's mind, " Since that
creature knows Loulon, my husband knows her too l"
Madame Gobet immediately instituted an investi-
gation, and, to bar intense Indignation, she dis-
covered that her husband had had en intrigue
with the young woman, and that they had planned between
them to detain the dog, in order to extort money from her
She at once had the young woman arrested, and would have
wreaked her vengeance on her husband, had he not, in ter-
mr, fled to Italy. The prisoner frankly admitted that des
had received the visits of M. Gobet, and that he, not being I
allowed =may by his wife, had, to recompense her, left her
the dog, In order that she might get • reward from Mom.
Gast for its restitution. The tribunal decided that, under
the eirearestinees, no swindling had been c'oddlidAdt and
ordered the yoog woman to be discharged ; the president
gave bar a elms
COOKING • Daaata..—A correspondent at Mar-
seilles writes to the —" The prolific play-writer, M.
Alexandre Dusan is now residing hese, to super-
totmd ths preihiction of • new drams, La Gerdes
Pearlier* which he has just written, and which le
to be acted for the Brat time on Monday nmt. This
drama, as I am credibly informed—rspetvental to be
One of the beet of that writers genius—was composed
and completed in the very short space of time of four
times twenty-four hours; having barn connemold on
Monday, Feb. 22, and finished early on the following Thurs-
day. M. Dumas forestalled the completion of the drama by
one day, as be bed entered into au comment with the
abettor of the theatre to write It in five days. My
on whose lestlassny I eau implicitly rely ' mimed elecilimillitbst tea
be bed net hem an eye-wituses he could not have believed It
poselide for tits most gifted writer to compose so rapidly
and oiler such circumstances. My friend found
M. Dames, in composing the drama, seated be-
tween his suretery sad copying clerk, to either of whom
he altamately turned, to indite, or to look over the M 88.;
while, at the same time, them ware from eight to tan peseta
in the spartmeat, with whom tie writer dewed actively into
conversation. But what astonished my inform at moat
was, to find that, as the dinner hoer sprethed. K. Humes,
stripping to his shirt-sleeves, entered the kitchen, end,
handling the nuserefee with the skill of • prokesed
with his own bands that all-important re past. I am
toldthat it is • habit with M. Dumas that when his mind is
inteesely engaged in seedy, he takes for • short time to the
hums of the kitchen by way of reoreation."

MONEY MARKET-THIS DAY

Two &Moot.

The funds remain decidedly firmer, and a farther
improvement of about 1-16 per cent. has been es-
tablished this morning. Business is very limited
throughout the Stack Exchange, but the general
tendency is more favourable.

Consols are firm, at 97 for money, and 97 to
for the Bth April. Exchequer Bills have been dealt
in at Ns. to 38$. prem., showing a further re-
duction of Is. ; Exchequer Bonds (falling payable
in May, 1868), at 99i; ditto, in May, 1869, at 1011
to um ; and India Bonds, at 245. prem.
Turkish Six per Cents. remain quoted 1011 to 1.
Peruvian and Brazilian Bonds continue in demand,
with an upward tendency. Other foreign stocks
are quiet. Sales are recorded u follows :—Brazilian
Four-and-a-Half per Cents. 1011; Peruvian Pour-
and-a•Half per Cents. for account (29th March),
811 to 82, ex div. ; ditto Three per Cents., for

&moan t, bB# ; Russian Four-and-a-lialf per Cents.,
100 to 1001; Spanish Three per Cents., for account,
44k; ditto Deferred Three per Cents., for account,
261; the Committee's Certificates, 4/ ; Turkish Six
per Cents. for account (March 29), 1011 to 1011.

At Paris to-day (Tuesday), according to Mr.
Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes
opened at 69fr. 85c. for the account, and at,
half-past one o'clock were quoted 69fr. 80c. The
latter quotation shows a decline of about j per cent.
compared with the closing price of yesterday, but the
Bonne is described as rather animated." Eastern
of Francs Railway shares opened this morning at
695 fr.; Northern, at 960 fr. ; Paris and Lyons at
836 fr. ; Lombardo Venetian at 625 fr. ; and Southern
of France at 552 f.

At Madrid yesterday (Monday) the Three per
Cents. were quoted 39.20, and the Deferred, 27.16.
The amount of gold sent into the Bank yesterday
was 172,0001., including 92,0001. in bars and 80,0001.
in Russian coin. The total ascertained to have been
sent in since the date of the last return is thus
raised to 622,00 W., and the aggregate held must
amount to 181 millions.
In the discount market yesterday there was a fair
demand for money, 21 to 21 per cent 4 being the
current rates for first class bills. At the Bank there
were merely a few applications from regular
customers.

Various rumours are circulated relative to the
coming loan, but are destitute of official warranty.
According to one, the loan will be mimed in 4 per
cent. debentures, repayable in live years, and to be
issued at par; and the intervention of a contractor
will not be invited.

The specie and bullion brought by the steamer
La Plata were delivered yesterday. The bar silver
was sold (a portion for the East and the rest for the
Continent) at 6s. led. per ounce, showing no altera-
tion in price. Of the 96,0001. in gold, a portion has
been taken for the Continent, and the residue is
expected to be also sent away.
The wheat market yesterday was heavy, at a de-
cline of Is. to 2s. per quarter from last Monday's
rates.

We are informed that, since the receipt of the
late discouraging advices from the ICooria Mooria
Islands, the demand for Peruvian guano has con-
siderably increased. Many persons seem to have
deferred supplying themselves, in the vain hope
that a blow was about to be given to the Peruvian
monopoly.
The change in the weather has already caused a
recovery in the traffic of some of the southern rail-
ways. The South Eastern Railway traffic return
presents a decrease of only 3571., and the Brighton
a decrease of only 1221., compared with the cor-
responding week of last year.
The steamer Wye arrived at Malta, from Mar-
seilles, on the 20th inst., with the London mail for
Australia of the 18th inst. The Tamar, from South-
ampton, with the heavy portion of these mails,
arrived on the same day, and left on the following
day for Alexandria. The Malabar, with the mail
for Bombay of the llth inst., also reached Malta on
the 21st.

The But India Company have taken up the
European and American Steam Company's vessel
Golden Fleece for the conveyance of 980 men from
England to Calcutta, and the steamer Melbourne for
the conveyance of 400 men to Calcutta and Madras.
The ships Friar Tuck, Maggie, and North Wind
have arrived from China, and bring a total of
1,760,700 lbs. of tea and 776 bales of silk.
An agreement has lately been come to to transfer
the business of the Asylum Life Office to the London
Assurance Corporation—a negotiation which could
not be concluded until the nnfortun►te shareholders
of the Asylum had made up an enormous sum of
money. Considering the disastrous recollection
which they will ever entertain of their connexion
with the undertaking, the shareholders have had
their equanimity disturbed at learning that the
" high sense " entertained of the " long continued
and very valuable services" of the chairman of the
Asylum," Mr. J. C. Whiteman, is to be marked
by the getting up of a testimonial, in the shape of a
piece of plate.
The 61. shares in the Royal Swedish Railway
Company, which suffered so severely by the frauds
and forgeries of John oadleir,were yesterday dealt in
at 7s. 6d. each.
The annual meeting of the Royal Mail Steam
Packet Company is to be held on the 23rd April.
The adjourned seventh annual meeting of the
Eastern Steam Navigation Company is to be held on
the 31st instant.

The half-yearly interest is advertised on the shares
of the Geelong and Melbourne Railway Company.
The Master of the Rolls, who is charged with the
winding up of the " Commercial and General Life
Assurance, Annuity, Family Endowment and Loan
Association," proposes on 24th inst. to make a
further call of 71. ed. per share on the contribu-
tories.

310ICDAT
Pending the announcement of the Indian Loan,
which is daily expected, Stock Exchange business
continues partially suspended. The immediate
tendency, towever, is favourable, owing to the
steady rise on the Paris Bourse, coupled with the
rapid accumulation of gold. The fonds closed to-day
with firmness, and about 1-16 per cent. higher than
on Saturday. In some of the other departments of
the Stock Exchange rather higher prices were like-
wise established. English railway stocks partici-
pated in the more favourable tendency, the late fall,
coupled with the hope of an improvement in the
traffic, inducing purchases.

-
Consols, which closed on Saturday!. at IN to 97
for the Bth April, opened this morning at the same
quotation, touched 97, " buyers," in the afternoon,
and were quoted at the close of the Stock Exchange
exactly 97. For money the last price was 97
" sellers." After the close of the house, the market
was firmer at 97, " buyers," for April. The official
business report is as follows :—Three per Cent.
Consols, for money, 981, 981, 981; ditto, for account
(Bth April), 981, 97 ; India stock (shut), 220 ;
Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Exchequer Bonds, falling
payable in May, 1858, 991 ; ditto, May, 1859, 1001,
1014, 101, 1014
Exchequer Bills remain quoted 365. to 395. prem.
India Bonds were dealt in at 23a. to 295. prem. The
Exchequer Bonds, which fall payable in May, 1859,
were marked as high as 1011.
Scarcely any variation took place in foreign
stocks. Turkish Six per Cents. closed the same aa
on Saturday, at 1014 to 4. The Guaranteed Four
per Cents. were rather more inquired for, and left off
at 104 to 1. Peruvian Bonds continue in some re-
quest. Brazilian Four-and-a-1141f per Cents. were
marked 101.

Bank shares to-day were quiet, with little obange
in prices. Those of the Chartered Bank of India,
Australia, and China were more inquired for. Agra
and United Service Bank were officially marked Sit
CLondon ((601. paid). Miscellaneous securities were dull.
Dockstock was markedlo4h.

MINES.-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLocx.

Little business is going forward this morning I.
home mining stocks, and prima are generally
quoted the same as yesterday. Alfred Consols
shares have met with some inquiry, and are marked
12 end In. These are the only prices officially
reported in the Stock Exchange.
Linares and Fortuna Mining shares continue is
demand ; the latter are marked par and rem.
The shares of the Pontgiband Silver Lead Mining
and Smelting Company have been dealt in at S.
It will have been noticed that during the last tin
or three days no list of prices has been honed from
the " Mining Exchange." Yesterday the list has re-
appeared, and will be found below. We are sorry
to have to remark, however, that little reliance is to
be placed on the prices quoted in that establishment.
The dealers, with little or no check, may " mark"
what prices they please; for the original rules of the
"Exchange" are disregarded, in the absence of an
organised committee charged to enforce their ob-
servance.

MONDAY Byname.
A fair amount of business was done to-day in the
mining market ; but, except as regards South Wheal
'Prances and Alfred Consols shares, which exhibit
an upward tendency, flatness generally prevailed.
Par Consols, Wheal Edward, and West Basset
shares, amongst others, have given way. Some at
the closing quotations are annexed, viz. s—Alfred
Console, 12 to 13; Par Console, 18 to 19; Wheal
