The discount market is active, notwithstanding
the advance yesterday in the rates ; and as the
brokers show a -disinclination to work under 7 per
cent. for the best bills, the applications at the bank
have been very numerous.
It will be observed by the following analysis of
the Bank of England return, that the reserve of
notes and gold have been considerably diminished.

The Bank of France return also shows a consi-
derable diminution in the bullion, viz., £172,000 ;
while the notes in circulation have been increased
£810,000; the commercial bills, £1,260,000; and
the advances, £20,000.

The English Stock Market, after experiencing a
decline of * per cent., has recovered the loss. Very
little business, however, besides that connected with
the settlement of the account is in progress. Con-
sols are 87* 1 for money, and 871 1 for the ac-
count. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities
are 86* 1 ; Exchequer Bills, 6s. to 3s. dis. ; India 5
per Cents., 102* 4 ; and the Bonds, 15s. prem.
Business in the Railway Share Market has con-
tinued dull, but in some instances there is a slight
improvement. North Western, Midland, and Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire have each improved 55., and
South Eastern 155., while Great Eastern and Me-
tropolitan have each declined ss.
The inertness of speculative business has pro-
duced a depressive influence upon Foreign Bonds,
as well as almost all securities dealt in at the Stock
Exchange. The depreciation has not been of much
consequence, and the latest prices of some of the
most fancied securities are as follows :—Turkish 5
per Cents. are 41*, 42; Mexican, 23* 24*; the New
Loan, 211, 8 ; Greek, 15i 16 ; Spanish Passive,
27 284 ; the Certificates, 15*, ; Italian, 641* ;
the Confederate Loan, 6* 71; and Brazilian Scrip,
11 I prem.
The Foreign and Colonial lines are dull, with
the exception of Grand Trunk of Canada, which
have advanced to 351 361. . .

Bank and Miscellaneous Shares remain without
any material change as regards values. British
Commercial Bonds of Mexico are quoted 65 70 ;
English and American Bank, 14 2 prem. ; Charles
Lafitte and Company, 2 2+ prem. ; and London
Steam Towing Company, 1k 2 prem.
The directors of the Anglo-Italian Bank have
made a call of £5 per share, payable on the 27th of
January.

SHOCKING DEATH OF A BOY FROM RUM DRlNK-
MG.—Yesterday an inquest was held in Leman-street,
Whitechapel, on the body of Daniel Gurney, aged 12 years.
The boy was employed by Messrs. 'Statam, licensed car-
men, to ride in the back of the van, in order to prevent
persons stealing from it, and whilst so engaged on Friday
he got access to the contents of a puncheon of rum in the
Van and drank a quantity of the liquid. He was found by
the driver lying at the bottom of the van in an insensible
state, and was conveyed to his father's house, where he
expired the next day. The jury returned a verdict that
the deceased killed himself by drinking raw spirits.

CON. BY A CREDITOR.—Why should every lamp-
lightor be named William ?—Because Bills run up so
quickly.—Fun.

THE JAPANESE COMMISSIONER.—His Excellency
the Japanese Commissioner arrived at Plymouth during
Tuesday night, on a visit to inspect that port and arsenal,
from Southsea.

The Imperial Commission charged with the pub-
lication of the " Correspondence of Napoleon I." has just
terminated the 19th volume, which will soon be publialuxt
