CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The panic which prevailed in Paris yesterday exer-
cised a most mischievous effect upon our market during
the latter part of the day. The speech of the Bing
of Prussia was made the pretext by adverse specu-
lators to once more raise the apprehension of war.
Lentes fell If per cent., and here the Funds in sym-
pathy fell I per cent. A corresponding decline took
Place in all other leading securities. This morn-
ing a' more rational feeling prevails, and in
InanY cases what, was so indiscreetly sold is
repurchased at slightly advanced prices.
Thing
Funds have zegained 5 per cent., and
foreign stocks are rawer, except Egyptian, which
are very flat. English railways have also improved,
with one exception. Tho dividend of the Caledonian
Railway, at the rate of 14 per cent. per annum, is a
great disappointment, and the present price Is not
41°re than American Securities are better.
The Discount Market remains very quiet, with
rates at 14 to 1:;1- per cent., and there is no inquiry at
the Bank-of England.
Consols are firm and show a recovery of being
dealt in at 91 to 94A- for learey, and account. New

With one or two exceptions English Railways aro
,sPenger and on the whole a fair business is doing.

donian, which is quoted at 691 to 691; Great
Brighton,
is also lower, at 107 to 108; and London,

de Saturday the military administration of the
foParttnent of the Rhone, at Lyons, received tenders
thi 8,000 metrical quintals of new native wheat, and
file greatness of the supplies may be inferred from the
et that six competitors alone offered 26,250
(41,41ntals. The contract was divided among the six
Thearious prices ranging from 27f. 80c. to 28f. 47c.
28; Market price the same day at Lyons was 28f. to
1,,'500., but without demand.
following is from Messrs. Satterthwaite's
t0?,4,1Y circular :—" There has been but slight flue-
atc,,',ons in the London market for American se-
intes during the past week. Yesterday there was
t.orsetional advance in the price of United States
fors on the result of the New England election
de shadowing the choice of General Grant as Presi-
hen% thus inducing the belief that no attempt will
Atllade to pay the principal of Government Bonds
y instead of gold. The 1862 Bonds close
06 ,o 72 ; the 1865'5, 704 to 704 ; and the 10-40's
+tosB
to 664. There has been but little doing in Illi-
a„ Central shares • the recent greatly reduced
Letations for Eries li'ave brought numerous buyers
ehe market, so that the price at 30 to 304 has
well sustained."

in Railway for the week ending August 8, show an
