twe o'CLocz.

There is little business doing in the Stock Ex-
change, and an advance that at one period occurred
in Consols has not been maintained. Foreign
stocks and railway shares, however, have slightly
improved.

ter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened

The mails from Calcutta, China, sad Australia
arrived at Malta yesterday.

The stock markets continue to be almost ex-
clusively influenced by the accounts from America.
More attention is directed to the evidence of the
tendency of the public mind in America which
is afforded by the entertainments and felici-
tations given to the Commander of the San Jacinto.
Great cautioc is likewise impressed by the tone
taken in the private mercantile letters by the last
packet, which are valuable as an index to the popu-
lar feeling. According to several of these, it is
very unlikely that the American government w➢ll
surrender the prisoners, should they be peremptorily
demanded by the British government. Meanwhile,
it is currently rumoured here that the despatches
sent to Lord Lyons are couched in the firmest pos-
sible language, and it is certain that equal activity
has not prevailed in our War-office and its subsi-
diary departments since the struggle with Russia.
Although, therefore, hope continues to predominate
in the public mind, there is not the least disposi-
tion amongst prudent persons to enter into engage-
ments extending into a problematical future. In
the Stock Exchange it is becoming more generally
recognised that to operate until the American
answer shall have arrived is not so much speculation
as sheer gambling.
Depreesion prevails on the Vienna Bourse. The
exchange has risen to 142.25.
The numbers are published of 127 Bonds, repre-
senting 56,100/. of the Turkish Six per Ceut. Loan
of 1858, which have beau drawn by lot, and will be
paid uti at par (100) on the Ist of March next. The
price of the Bonds in the market being only 07+,
the holders of those which have been drawn obtain
a clear bonus of no less than 321 per cent.
The mail steamer Meehan will take, to-
morrow, only 33,0001. in specie (bar silver) for
Bombay. The falling off is important, the packet
of the 27th alt, having taken 200,9001.
The large amount of Mexican dollars by the last
packet have not yet been soh; there being uo de-
mand for China. The uncertainty prevailing with
regard to the result of the American difficulty in-
terferes with business in the bullion market.

There was little variation in tie quotations of
foreign exchange yesterday afternoon, but the
tendency was not very favorable. Thu rate for
bills on Hamburg was quoted lower. The Austrian
exchange continues to rise, owing to the distrust
which prevails at Vienna. Subjoined is our usual
