opened at 83k. At present they are 83a A-, with little

ceived with great acclamations by the people.
A report has just been made up at the Stock Exchange
that an express has arrived with an account that the Go-
vernment troops have been defeated in an attack made on
the heights of Lyons. We do not believe this report,
which is evidently got up for stock-jobbing purposes.
There is a rumour of two commercial failures this
morning in the city.
Consols have been fluctuating during the morning from

quoted at t3S-:1, for money SS/a.
