by underrunning the cable, in the course of which
an " entanglement " was met with off the Bay of

the event of no further impediment having occurred,
it is probable that telegraphic communication be-
tween Malta and Cagliari will soon be resumed.

FRIDAY EMMaI,

The Stock Exchange to-day presented a firmer
and altogether more satisfactory appearance than of
late. In the morning the rands were decidedly
buoyant, under the influence of the recent invest-
ments, and a fresh advance of ito per cent. WAS
attained. Leas firmness was subsequently shown,
bat up to 4 o'clock prices were fully equal to the
closing quotations of yesterday. The tendency to
improvement shown on the Paris Bourse naturally
operated as a spur to confidence. The result is that

Consols have cloned only per cent. lower than

this day week, despite an extreme fall of 2 per
cent. in the French funds..

—_
In the share markets, likewise, the movement of
prices was favourable, English, French, and Lom-
bardo-Venetian Railway shares being all in de-
mand.
Consols,
which were quoted at 4 o'clock yesterday
951 to t for the Bth February, opened this morning
at 951 "buyers," rose to 951 " sellers," sod were
quoted at four o'clock 95t to t. In consequence of
the recent investments, the price for money is quoted
the same as for the account. Some time after the
close of the Stock Exchange, upon a rumour of re
newed agitation on the Paris Bourse, consequent
upon unfavourable advice§ from Vienna, a fall to
951; to 1 for Use account took place ; but, under the
! circumstances, this quotation must be received with

caution.
The foreign stock market was firmer in character.
The new Turkish Loan had improved at the close of
business to 4 to 3j dis., and the Six per Cents. of
1854 to 90 to 4. Sardinian Bonds were likewise
firmer, at 87 to 4. 89=414 Portuguese, Peru=
Buenos Ayres, and Brazilian Bondswereallinq

MINES.-THIS DAY.

The mining market retains a steady appearance.
Prices are generally firm. Shares in North Downs,
Great Wheal Alfred, Tamar Consols, Providence
Mines, Wheal Margaret, and Wheal Uny are in
demand.
Foreign and colonial mining shares exhibit no
alteration.

metal market :
Political affairehaveemberrained bands during thoweely
and restricted operatiess. Copper advanced on llth last. 11.
per ton on raw and id per lb. on manufactured, which is
fully maintained, the demand for cake and select ingot copper
being in excess of the supply. Iron has been strengthened
In price by the firm tone of the meeting of ironniseters
Birmingham yesterday ; the feeling there was very en-
couraging, and the actual bughtess transacted was consider-
able. Tin experienced an advance of 31. per ton on English
on the Bth inst., and foreign has changed hands st higher
prices In consequence. Lead has become dearer and is Arm,
but spatter la rather neglected avid.
