The partners' capital at the commencement of the
year was 72,0001., and the losses since October
have been 206,6031. Is. 3d. It was resolved that
the estate should bo wound up under inspection, for
which purpose two of the creditors were appointed
a committee.
A slight decline was apparent on the Paris
Bourse yesterday, the 3 per Cents. having closed at
67.60 for money, and 67.75 for the end of the
month.
A large amount of gold was sold to the Bank
yesterday, viz., about 210,0001.
The Money Market is without any alteration of
importance. In Lombard-street discount accom-
modation is still obtainable at lower quotations,
and long dated bills of good quality are easy of ne-
gociation. The supply is in excess of the demand,
and the bill-brokers evince greater willingness to dis-
count long dated paper. After Christmas the inquiry
will probably become active, a larger amount of
capital being required for the liquidation of annual
and quarterly accounts, besides the bills which fall due
on the 4th proximo. The effect, however, may be
only temporary, and the money market will no
doubt gradually become easy, the tendency being
already strongly in that direction.
The market for English Securities has been rather
variable to-day, and a moderate business has been
done. At first there was a slight improvement, but
upon the re-appearance of sellers the quotations is
again became rather heavy, the decline amounting ~„,
to per cent. When it became known, however, tuouo
that Lucknow was relieved, buyers again came
forward and a partial recovery in prices ensued.

15s. ; Great Western, and Manchester, Sheffield,
and Lincoln have advanced 10s. The Foreign lines
are also at slightly reduced rates. Great Luxem-
bourg, Lombardo-Venetian, Namur and Liege, and
Pernambuco, have declined Os. The Colonial lines
are steady. East Indian, Grand Trunk of Canada,
and Great Western of Canada, realised about for-
mer rates.
Mines, Banks, and Miscellaneous Shares show
little variation in value. The transactions re-
ported on them being unimportant.

Consols for account

The keystone of the 13th and last arch of the monu-
mental bridge over the Macra, commenced by the Sar•
dinian Government about a twelvernonth ago,was placed
on the 17th. To understand the importance of this event
it must be borne in mind that the Macra, though a
mere rivulet in summer, is a rapid and powerful torrent
in winter, and that, when it was pasgable in that season,
travellers had to dismount and be carried over on the
backs of men, an operation peculiarly annoying to
ladies. Meanwhile the vehicle had to be dragged across
by bullocks, the water penetrating into the body of the
coach, and all this on the high road to Florence ? At
high water all communication used to be interrupted for
