LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

The Loudon Stock Market' opened heavy :wain
to-day, and the earliest quotations were a shade
lower than the closing yesterday, the opening for
January account. being 941 to 944. From this
point they fluctuated slightly, being quoted at 941
and again at 94 at which they may be said to
have closed. But after the official hours, the
general market became weaker, and some transac-

per cents reduced 944 4-; three-and-a-quarter per
cents 964 -4-; Exchequer bills 6s. to 9s. pm. ; India

heavy. Peruvian declined 14 per cent. Chilian
bonds 1 per cent. higher. Spanish 3 per cents.

in the NORTHERN DAILY T►MES of yesterday,we find
that tho Chowrinyhee sailed from Melbourne on the
