is claimed from Mr. P. Ananian, of Constantinople,

Fool o'CLoca.
Consols remain flat, at 9111 to for money,
and 91„ to f.r the account.

At the Bank of England yesterday there was a
moderate demand for money. The disoount market
was rather quiet, at 71 to 8 per cent, for the best
bills. In the Stock Exchange loans were in re-
quest.

The latest telegrams from New York bring
the unsatisfactory intelligence that the ex-
change has fallen to 105 f. At this point
more specie will probably be sent out ; but the
tightness of our money market entail,' so heavy a
charge in the shape of interest that, as an exchange
operation, remittances of gold will not leave a profit
unless the exchange declines further.
Yesterday was settling day in the scrip of the New
Indian Loan. In the morning transactions took•
place at 100 i and 1001, but the price had fallen at
the close to 100} to j. High rates—in some in-
stances 8 to 12 per oent, per annum and upwards—.
were paid for carrying over purchases to the next
settlement.

About 20,0001. in bar gold was bought by the
Bank yesterday. The Champion of the Seas has
arrived from Melbourne with 60,500/. in gold ; and
the Lincolnshire, with 52,000/. Of the 536,000!.
known to bo still at sea, 246,500/., by the Clutha,
Essex, and Heir, is now duo.
The accounts from Paris state that a great sensa-
tion has been occasioned in financial circles by the
arrest of M. Mires. The shares in his Caiy.e fell
yesterday from 205 to 140, but recovered again to
165. Favourable inferences are drawn from the
fact of the liquidation of M. Mires' affairs having
been uud.:rtaken by the Governor of the Bank of
France. A despatch, however, states that, "The
payments of the Cause des Chemins de For of
Messrs. Mira and Co. have been adjourned until
the inventory of the state of the bank is completed.
We understand that 400,000/. of bills on M. Mirbs
fall due in March.

Idle, not to say malicious rumours, hays beet&
circulated, according to which some eminent City
firms are involved in M. Mires' engagements. We
have the best grounds for stating that such reports
are totally unfounded.
The Greek interest received yesterday with satis-
faction the news that 120,0001 in specie has arrived
at Marseilles on their account from Constantinople.
The London and North Western Railway traffic
return shows this week an increase of 1,5401. ; the
Great Western an increase of 1,578/. ; the Great
Northern au increase of 580/. ; and the London
and South Wietern an increase of 1,5501.
The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway traffic
return continues to come into the possession of
favoured individuals in advance of the public. It
is understood that the forthcoming return will
show an increase of 1,3001. compared with last
year.
At the half -yearly meeting yesterday of the South-
ampton Duck Company, the directors' report was
adopted. The net revenue for the half-year ending
December was 5,0271., which was increased to
5,738/. by the addition of the surplus from the pre-
vious half-year. From this balance a dividend for
the half-year of 11. 108. per cent. was declared,
leaving 3331. to be carried over. The falling off is
the earnings is attributed to the reduction in some
of the dock rates and charges, while the cost of
labour remains undiminished.
The meeting of the Oriental Inland Steam Com-
pany also took place yesterday. The proceedings
were rather protracted, and much discussion occurred
with reference to the part, present, and future
position of the company, but the directors' report,
which has already been ferred to in our columns,
was eventually adopted, and Mr. Bourne was re-
elected.

The first general meeting of the Universal Marine
