There has been great buoyancy this morning in
the English Stocks, arising principally from the
fineness of the weather, and the proximate settle-
ment of the account, the speculators who had sold,
being evidently anxious to buy back in time, less

again loaned to them. The news of the further
successes of the Turks likewise strengthens the
quotations. Consols have been 931 I, and
since 92 to 93 for Transfer. The account
prices have been 93i, then 93i, and are now

Parliament. The following is to be the future constitu-
ti?n of the General Board of Health. Thiee persotis
will be appointed by the Crown warrant under Royal
sign manual to constitute the board, and one of these
three peisons the Home Secretary is to appoint as chair-
man. The powers of the board are to continue until the
31st of August, 185(3. The members of the ' board are
subject to removal by the Crown, and during a vacancy
two members may act, with a salary not exceeding

and assistant secretary, a superintending medical officer,
and a number of superintending inspectors, clerks, &c.,

are to be transferred to the now board, and the salaries
