At the close of the Paris Bourse yesterday the
quotations of the day's transactions showed a fur-
ther decline in the 3 per cent. Rentos for the ac-
count equivalent to per cent., and 10 centimes
for money. It was settling day, and speculators
for the rise did not make such large profits as
they expected. The market for Railway Shares
was very dull, and all the principal lines were more
or less depreciated, with, it was said, large amounts
of shares among weak holders. Orleans fell 7f. 50c.;
North of France, 10f. ; Eastern, old scrip, 2f. 50c.;
Lyons, 10f. ; Mediterranean, sf. ; Midland, 10f. ;
Western, sf. ; Grand Central, 10f. ; and Austrian
Railway Society, 15f. Rank of France Shares re-
mained quiet at 3,160, and Discount Bank fell 5f.,
while Credit Mobilier, after some fluctuation, de-
clined 27f. 50c. from the preceding close.

By accounts from Berlin we learn that the Prus-
sian Government have sent two delegates from their
Customs department to inquire into the laws
of that kingdom relative to the duties on
spirits, with a view to introduce a similar
system into Prussia. It is announced, also, that
the conference between Austria and Prussia,
on the monetary question, to regulate the metallic
ourrency of the whole Germanic Confederation,
'will take place at Berlin, on the 10th of January,
1856, instead of Vienna as previously stated. On
the Berlin Bourse the 4 per Cents. were firm at
974, and the 4i Stock at 1081. Business was rather
dull, and the corn markets showed that the demand
Was greater than the supply.

The English stock market has not recovered
from the heaviness observable yesterday afternoon,
the effect of the settlement not having passed off.
The-payment of differences has in one or two cases
been attended with difficulty, but it is expected
that no actual failures will occur notwithstanding
the heavy losses which, in some instances, have
been sustained. Consols for money have been
89i to 89k, and are 891 to 90. The account prices
have been 90i to 90k, and 90g. to 901. Exchequer
Bills are steady at 6s to 2s discount, and India
Bonds are 7s to 5s discount. The New Three per
Cents. have been 89 to 89k, and the Reduced 88g-
to 89. Bank Stock is 209.

Foreign Securities are mostly rather flatter.
Turkish 6 per Cents., after being 84 have been
84 to 84g, and the New Scrip is. 21 discount.
Sardinian Bonds are rather firmer, being 84, and
Russian 41 per Cents. rule at 89 to 90. Spanish
New Deferred are 20k, and the Passive 7 to 7f.
Brazilian New, 1843, Bonds have been dealt in at
961, and Milian 6 per Cents. at 1011.
The following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks: Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6t to 7 ;
Mexican, 19 to 20 ; Peruvian, 74 to 76 ; ditto
Three per Cents., 52 to 54; Portuguese Four per
Cents., 44 to 46 ; Russian Five per Cents., 97 t 099 ;
ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 88 to 90; Spanish
New Deferred, 20a to ; ditto Three per Cents.,
39i to 39/ ; ditto Passive, 7 I. .

In Railway Shares there is very little animation,
and prices are scarcely so well supported. Great
Western, North-Eastern Berwick, and Lancashire
and Yorkshire, however, are without much varia-
tion. The foreign lines are almost nominal, but
Great Western of Canada are weaker.

Some of the Banking Shares are flatter, and
Van Diemen's Land have dropped about 1/.
