On the Paris Bourse yesterday there was a
further rise in the 3 per Cent. Renter, of 60 cen-
times for money dealings, and 75c. for the account,
making a total of 4f. 40c. and 4f. 85c. since the
receipt of the intelligence from Vienna, respec-
tively equivalent to about 41 and 41. per cent.
Bank of Prance Stock has improved 150 f., and
shares—of
Share the Credit Mobilier 185 f. In the Railway
market there was an average rise of 75f., the
highest being Orleans, 100 f.
While the pacific news has advanced the quota-
tions of all kinds of public securities, it may have
a depressing effect upon the grain market. As yet
no market has been held in this country ; but,
Judging from the effect it has had upon the
French markets, it is likely to be con-
siderable. In the Paris market for flour
there was the utmost excitement amongst
the sellers, and so much confusion prevailed
that it was difficult to ascertain the actual fall
Whieh had taken place. At a fair average this
cannot be less than 3f. per sack, of 157 kilos., on
flour of all qualities. The best kinds which sold
during the early part of the week, at 106 f. for de-
livery this month, were offered at 104 f. without
finding buyers. Those who had entered into ar-
rangements to purchase at 108 f. for delivery, in
February, at 3 and 4 months' date, have been con-
siderable losers by the change in the market. The
bargains entered into for longer dates than the
Pirrent month, were of the most speculative de-
scription, sales for delivery in March were said to
have been effected at 102 f. and 103 f. No particu-
lars of the effect the recent intelligence has had
In the prices of wheat and other kinds of grain has
yet come to hand.

The rates at which 3 months' bills were nego-
tiated yesterday afternoon on the chief cities of
the Continent were without any particular altera-
tion, but the tendency was in the direction of a
decline.

The English Funds have been quiet, but the
prices are steadily supported, and the unfavourable
features presented in the Bank of England return
have exercised very little depressing influence.
There is rather less speculative dealing ; but on
Saturday the business transacted is generally of a
limited description. The quotations in the early
Part of the day were rather heavy, Consols
being 891 41 for transfer, and 'B9 to 90 for the ac-
ej"nt, but they have since improved, and the
''°aing values are 90 to for the former, and 90f
tot• the latter. The New 3 per Ceuta. have been
Mock to 91, and the Reduced 89i to 901. Bank
rose to 210, and. India Stock was marked
218. Exchequer
Bills were 6s. to 2s. discount, and
"Reba, Bonds 2s. discount.
Although the dealings in the Foreign Market
'lave been less numerous fuller rates have in
have
cases been obtained. Turkish 6 per Cents.

The Directors of the Port Philip and Colonial
Gold Mining Company have received advices from
tneir resident Director, dated Melbourne, 17 th
October last :—" I notice what the Board states
on the subject of quartz crushing. I have already
?awned that Mr. Thomson is now at Mount Black-
'wood, examining the quartz reefs in that neigh-
bourhood, and I hope to have his report in time to
forward by the Champion of the Seas. I have made
inquiries on this subject from parties engaged in this
description of mining who bring gold to this assay-
office, and I am decidedly of opinion that there is
a good opening for the company to prosecute the
business of quartz crushing in some favourable
situation where mining may be carried on, and
the quartz raised by others either purchased or
crushed, and amalgamated at either a rate per ton
or a share of the produce. The success of this would
in a great measure depend upon the power and
efficiency of the machinery; none has, I consider,
as yet been erected there efficient for both pur-
poses; they fail priuoipally in the amalgamating pro-
cess. Of the material to work upon there is abun-
dance, varying very much in value, but in
Some instances, I have no doubt, worth carting
down for shipment to England. Should the com-
pany desire to enter into this business, they need
not fear being too late, as the extent to which the
quartz veins are now being worked will for a
time do little more than prove which are the richest
places, and enable those working afterwards to
profit by these extensive trials. Specimens of
auriferous] quartz, containing also copper, have
lately been exhibited here, found, it is said, be-
tween Geelong and Balaarat, about 25 miles from
the fo,rmer place.
. For Railway Shares there has been a steady mar-
ket. Great Western have risen 11. to 21., and the
A Stock about 21., but South-Eastern have been
rather flat. Foreign Lines have remained at pre-
vious prices. East Indian Extension are Ss. higher,
and Great Western of Canada have ruled firm.
Mining Shares have been inactive, but Joint-
Stock Banks are at full rates, and the Miscella-
neous have supported yesterday's range.
