The Sun.
London, England, 1856-09-09 00:00:00

At the commencement of business this morning
at the Stock Exchange the tendency of prices in
the English Market was rather in the direction of
an improvement, but there has since been less firm-
ness, and the Funds are now at about the quota-
tions current yesterday afternoon. The market
as under the influence of the settlement—to-mor-
/OW being account day—and the dealings entered
into are generally connected therewith. Consols
are 94 IT for money and the 10th inst., although
for the latter they were at one time nearly 94k,
buyers. For October the quotation is 95k to 95k.
Exchequer Bills have risen Is., viz., to 14s. and
17s. prem., and the Bonds are 10(1 East India
bonds have been 18s. prem. The New Threes
are 95i 2, and the New 2.i per Cents. 79.
Very few transactions are officially recorded in
the Foreign Market. Turkish 6 per Cents. are
nominal, but the 4 per Cents. are marked 103 i, be-
ing steady. Spanish New Deferred are 25 to 25k.
Russian4l per Cents. 981. Mexican 221, and Grenada
Deferred 72-. Dutch 4 per Cents. are 98g. Buenos
Ayres bonds have declined about 10 per cent. owing
to a communication received from the Republic, to
the effect that since the bondholders have refused to
accept the terms proposed for a settlement of the
debt, the question of an arrangement reverts to its
former position. This intelligence, unaccompanied
by any fresh proposals, is by no means palatable
to holders, and hence the fall adverted to.
. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 20:1s to 211 ;
Mexican, 225 to 221 ; Peruvian, 80 to 82 ; ditto
3 per Cents., 58 to 59 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents.,
45i to 46-i ; Russian 5 per Cents., 108 to 110 ;
ditto 41 per Cents., 98 to 100 ; Spanish 3 per
Cents., 442 to 451 ; ditto New Deferred, 24i 25 ;
ditto Passive, O. to 7. _

Although no material alteration in the Railway
Market, prices, with a few exceptions, continue
heavy. The Norfolk, North British, North-
Western, and Great Western are all firm, at pre-
vious rates. Northern of France have risen ss.
Ttigas are 11 I, and the Scinde 71. The Colonial
lines generally are very inactive.
The business dono in Mines and Miscellaneous
Shares calls for no special remark, prices being
generally the same as before.
London and County Bank Shares are heavy at
30 j 31, but the Unity have risen to 42.

The gold from New York yesterday is 127,000 Z., and
a considerable portion is on French account. but the
entire amount will be sent away. The advices on this
occasion mention an increase of confidence in the money
Market, consequent upon the last weekly bank state-
nient being favourable, but there was an absence of spe-
culation, and securities of all kinds remained without
change, Erie was quoted 60 ; Reading, 86 to A ; Panama,
94 ; and liliuois Central, 109 a. The rate of discount
Was still Bto 9 per cent. for the be-t paper.
GOLD IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA.-At present we have
no confirmation of the reported discovery of gold in this
Colony, and indeed no intelligence in this respect of a
later date than that which we have already pub!ished,
as received through the other colonies, with the excel)
Minn of the following, which appears in the Perth, In-
quirer, only a week after the first commencemeet of the
OiFeeeery:--" News has been received from Kejenup to
the effect that no more specimens of gold have been dis-
covered in the neighbourhood. With reference to the
gold repotted to exist between Cardup and the Canning
Mr. Davis declines stating the exact :pat until after the
cowing season, hot we presume there would be no diffi-
culty in discovering the precise locality if gold in quan-
tity is really procurable."--:Australian ustralian, and etv Zealand
