Considerable depression is apparent at the Stock
Exchange to-day in consequence of the advance in
the French rate of discount, and the expectation
of a further movement in the minimum here. Sales
have been pressed, and a decline of per cent, has
been the result, Consols now being 92J for money,
and 91 }, less the dividend, for the account. The
New Threes and Reduced have receded to 90Z
for the former, and to 90} 1 for the latter. Ex-
chequer Bills are very heavy at 7s. to 2s. die.
A general decided decline has taken place in the
Foreign Market, and business is dull. Turkish 6
per Cents., 1858, have receded to 691 70 ; ditto,
1862, to 701 71 ; ditto Consolides, to 48' 2•; Mexi-
can to 391 40-1-'; Greek to 301 ; ditto Coupons to
14,1 15; Spanish Passive to 34k ; and the Con-
federate Loan to 62 64.
In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
been of the most limited description, and prices in
most instances exhibit a further downward move-
ment. Great Eastern, North Western, and Midland
have declined
The Foreign and Colonial lines continue dull at
barely former quotations.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue in limited
request, and quotations show increased depression •

TERMINATION OF , THE COLLIERY STRIKE IN
TI NORTH.—Yesterday morning a deputation
Ifr°lll Messrs. Straker and Love's collieries waited upon Mr.
14" e) at his residence Mount Beulah, near Durham, and
ehad a long conference with him respecting the differences
xisting between them. The deputation did not include
Y of the delegates belonging to the union, but was ex-
clusively composed of Mr. Love's own workmen, there
being two from Brandon, two from Oakenshaw, two
from Brancepeth, and two from each of the pits at
Bhtinybrow, The discussion on both sides was charac-
terised by the greatest good feeling and cordi-
Men to have ality, and Mr, Love acceded to the wishes of the

pTuhtai-s
tion expressed themselves fully satisfied with, and promised
to recommend to the acceptance of their fellow-workmen, the
terms on which in their view the strike should cease. There
can be little doubt that the bulk of the men will cheerfully
acquiesce in the judicious course adopted by the representa-
tives, and we may, therefore, safely pronounce the strike to
he e,t an end. The members of the deputation afterwards '
l's.'took of breakfast in Durham, at the expense of Mr. Love,
SUSPECTED CASE OF ARSON.—Dr. Ager, the pro-
Prietor of the Collegiate School at Aylsham, has
been arrested on a charge of setting fire to his dwelling-
ho
i Itae at Aylshara, Norfolk. The fire was
discovered break-
through the roof of the building directly over the eel'•
bents' bedroom, at three o'clock on Saturday morning last,
,31 Thomas Baker, one of the school-boys, who immediately
44„1,'ied an alarm. The fire-engine was quickly on the spot,
i,_gti the fire soon got under. The building where the fire mi-

'was examined the same day by the superintendent
tv, tea division, who believed it to have been set on fire in
Nl° Places, 10 feet apart, in the false ceiling over the
tit rants bed room. He took possession of a large quan-
y
fott °f partly burned and unburned material which he
kid" in both places, consisting of old linen, and old books
the Papers, belonging to the school. Dr. Ager's conduct at
charge is described to have been of the most extraordinary
hilVictzr. He ascended the roof of the burning buildings,
ere;cellanaeneed to tear off the tiles over the fire, so as to
create
a of air. He is also said to have -

to prevent the conductor of the engine fromendea using

per uat he told Dr. Ager he would give him in charge if he
sisted in obstructing him in the execution of his duty.

CITY, TWELVE o'CLocK.
The minimum rate of discount of the Bank of
Prance has been raised from sto 6 per cent. This
movement was generally expected, but the precise
period of its adoption could not, of course, be accu-
rately estimated. The next movement is likely to
be a further advance in the minimum of the Bank
of England.

A further withdrawal of 40,000 sovereigns took
place from the Bank yesterday.
In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon the
rates were generally rather higher.
Since Monday last the imports of specie have
attouated to £698,600, and the exports to £654,000.
