DiOItNING HERALD:I

In the early part of Saturday there was pretty
considerable business doing in: the,British Stock-Market, and
the prices of the British Funds advanced. Consols for the cur-
rent Account opened at 91ii,advunced to9IZ, and closed at9Ql,
• with what is termed abrisk market: The reason assigned for
this advance in their value is the plentifulness of money .which
exists at this time, and the large sums which must shortly be
brought on the market in the shape of Dividends on the British
Funds, and the interest on several Foreign Loans. The
amount of drawbacks to be paid by Government to the holders
' of wine, in respect to the recent reduction in the duty on that
article, will also be payable early in the next month, and is to
a very considerable amount ; and as those who will have to re-
ceive it must look upon it in the shape of a godsend, they tail
no doubt want to invest it, which will consequently tend to in-
crease the floating capital on the market. A report of the cap-
ture of Callao by. Bolivar caused considerable stir on the Fo-
reign Market on Saturday. This news- is said to be contained
in a letter from Puerto Cabello, at which place tidings of it had
been‘re-ceived from Bogota ; but those persons best versed in the
geographical situation and:routes of South America, consider it
almost impossible but that if such an important event as the
Capture of Callao had taken place, but that we must have heard
of it by.other sources long before the news could have travelled
, the roundabout way which this private letter states it to have
'one ; and as the speculators have been so often deceived by
private letters in regard to South American intelligence, the
present communication had hut very little effect on the market.
The Securities just rose a trifle in consequence.

• INTEitciTiNG SuaGtc..‘l, EXPERIMENTS. —Dr.
tircsstart,. of Shiffnal, has published a letter, in which he
endeavours to -prove, that suspended animation may be safely
employed during operations on animals; with a view to ascer-
tain its probable utility, in surgical operations on the human
subject. The theory is, that men may be rendered torpid, or
be subjected to a temporary suspension of animation, by arti-
ficial means, and that whilst they continue in. this state, the
requisite surgical operations may be performed upon /hem,
unattended with the ordniry suffering, or any. hemorrhage.
Dr. Hickman details eight experiments in support of his
theory,' and he appears to be so thoroughly satisfied as to the
result, that he concludes by observing, that lie should not hesi-
tate a moment to become the subject of the experiment he
recommends, if he were under the necessity of suffering any
ion or severe operation:—(Liiterpool Mercury.)
Extract of a lettPr, tiatoti Naplos., Jun(' :
" Aladarne FoDort,was lately hissed for bad behaviour; she
was pettish because 'hiss Tosi was applauded fur something,
and so she shammed Abraham and would'ot sing, Which wt:s
certainly very naughty of her ; but_ when the people hissed her,.
she got better, at:W.ole is now, singing as well as ever, which
proves that hissing is an excellent remedy for Colds occasioned
by bad temper."
