London, England, 1856-12-01 00:00:00

The English Funds have.been rather flatter this
morning, probably owing to a desire on the part of
some of the speculators to realise their profits
rather than to "carry over" at the high
charge made for that operation. The varia-
tion in prices, however, is not very important,
and the market exhibits a considerable degree
of strength. Consols have been 94J for money,
and next Thursday, and 95 for January. The
New Threes are 9311 4, and the Reduced 93 /.
Bank Stock is flat, being 215 to 216, and India
Stock is 227. Exchequer Bills have risen to ss.
and 6s. premium, and the Bonds 981. East India
Bonds have been 2s. discount, to 2s. premium.
The Foreign Market is dull and rather heavy.
Turkish 6 per Cents. are about 952 to 96, and the
4 per Cents. are nominally steady. In the former
business has been recorded at 951 a 2. Spanish 3
per Cents, have risen VI 42i I, and the New De-
ferred to 234 24. Dutch 24- per Cents. have been
dealt in at 66. Mexican at 22k. Peruvian 42 per
Cents. at 77 to 78, and Chilian at 104.

A Cabinet Council was held en Saturday afternoon, at
the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury in
Downing-st.
GAMBIA, WESTERN COAST OF AFRICA.—The military
buildings, defences, barracks, and stores at this station,
have been transferred from the War Department to the
Colonial Government, and placed solely under the dis-
posal of the Governor. This highly judicious measure,
adopted by Lord Panimure, will prove not only benefi-
ciala to the colony, but one of great economy to her Ma

THE MURDERER MARLEY.— 1 mmediately after the
theentence of death was passed, Marley was removed into
interior of Newgate and the whole of his clothing
taken from him, and subjected to a most rigorous search,
in order to ascertain that he had nothing concealed by
which he could commit self-destruction. During this
process the nonchalance and coolness which he evinced
&ring hisltrial seemed gradually to forsake him, and on
being subsequently conducted to the condemned room,
his courage completely failed, and the wretched man ca.t
himself upon the pallet completely overwhelmed with
grief. Two turnkeys were placed in the cell, and till
the time arrives for his exeoution he will never be left
alone day or night.
THE WEATHER.—NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, Saturday
Night.—An intense frost prevails in this town and
neighbourhood. On Friday morning the thermometer
kept outside rooms of the Literary and Philosophical
Society stood at 30 degrees, and this morning it went
down to 25.5 degrees. A thermometer kept at &navel!,
iiear this town, by Mr. Thomas Di,oe, 11,...s
as 2 been as low
2 degrees. and the same and even greater citq)lc,'-'lin.li
bsb occurred lu other pitt(Wb. The cuuntry for mites round is coveted with snow, and there is a large quan-
tity of floAtiog ice in the river.
