TALLOW.

There is no alteration to notice in prices again this
week. The demand has been a little better, and is now
expected to continue so, therefore no further decline is
anticipated for the present. Home Tallow is not quite
so abundant : the nett price is 41s.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
:• There was an extensive demand for Cotton- at Liver-
pool on Saturday, and prices had a firmer appearance.
Sales, 9,000 bales, one half of which were taken on ape-
culation.—The principal Railway Shares continued in
request, but the more speculative were little inquired for.

The acirices received from test: United. States this
morning by the niereinnile interests are of importance
in this respect; they state that a good market existed for
British manufactures. Money iu consequence was
more in demand. The state of the public treasury is
represented as being of a more flourishing character.
In Pennsylvania too the receipts of the States had improved
Most sanguinely it is lo be hoped that the people
of the State will come forward and pay their debs. If
so, the other repudiating States of America would be
compelled to follow the good example ; and thus several
of the " stars" of the Republic would recover that " bril-
liancy" which honesty is so well deserving of.
In the Canadian papers, which have come to hand by
the Montezuma, there is not any news of interest, except
that the elections had ended in favour of the Government.

With respect to the Canadian Guaranteed Loan, the
biddings for which were received on Friday last, nothing
is at present known. It is stated this morning that the
tenders were all below the minimum value fixed for the
200,0001., at which it would be granted by the Treasury.
A very strong interest is expressed in the City in
favour of lines of railways for extending intercommuni-
cation in Ireland. Confidence in such undertakings
is rapidly on the increase among our capitalists, as
affording an additional means of beneficially employing
their surplus capital.
A shade of depression has existed in the Consol
market this morning. For the Account the prices have
recently been given at par, and for the Reduced Three
Three per Cents. at one half per cent. higher. The New
Three per Cents. have been at 102- to 103. Exchequer
Bills have rallied from 555. to 58s. premium. About six
months back they were at 765. to 775. premium. The
Commissioners bought about 10,0004 of the Three-and-
a-Quarter per Cents. to-day, at three per cent. above par.
A rise in India Bonds, from 735. to 78s. premium, has
taken place. Bank Stock has risen from 208 to 2081.
This is the day for the biddings to be made for
the French loan, at Paris, and much curiosity is
expressed to learn the result. There is a report current
that the Messrs. Rothschild and the Messrs. Baring and
Co. are now the only competitors. As the payments
are to be extended over a long period, the scrip will in
all probability be dealt in considerably. The Belgian
Scrip has advanced to 1 premium. But one or two bar-
gains have been made in the Spanish. Funds to-day.
The Five per Cents. are at 241, and the Three per Cents.
at 361. Dutch Stock is in demand. Brazilian have ad-
vanced to 881 ; Colombian Stock is firm at 141 ; and
the Mexican at 361.
The inquiries for shares have been very numerous all
the morning, and in most cases prices have advanced.
The Great Western Railway has reached 72 prem.;
the Hull and Selby, 17 prem.; London and Brighton,
par (the highest point realised for a very long time);
and the French lines are looking firm. British North
American Bank Shares have been sold at 5 dis. ; Lon-
don and Westminster at 61 prem. ; and Provincial of
Ireland at 191 prem.

near that town, in thirty minutes, and yesterday
ae'nnight he accomplished the task with ease in 27 min.
and 30 sec.—Durham Advertiser.

THE REFUGE FOR THE DESTITUTE.—On Saturday
night, in pursuance of a resolution r,f the Committee of
the Society for the Rouge of the Destitute, which met
the same day at their office in Threadneedle-street, in
consequence of the extreme serer ity of the weather, the
Asylum in Playhouse-yard, Whitecross-street, which is
capable of containing between 500 and 600 persons, was
for the first time this season opened for the reception of
houselers poor, males, females, and children. There
were 197 names entered in the book, being a much
larger number than was ever admitted on a first night,
the most of whom appeared in a melancholy state of
destitution.

THE VERY REV. THE DEAN OF GLASSGOVC.—We
are happy to lern that this much respected clergyman
has recently received an additional testimony of the es-
timation in which he is held by the members of his con-
fregation, in the shape of a very beautiful baptismal
ont, which has been placed in his church in Paisley, by
Mrs. Lee Harvey, of Castle Semple, and which com-
pletes the interior requisites of their beautiful place of
worship. The font is of grey freestone, from the neigh-
bourhood of Troon, and is of an octagonal form, resting
on a triple base, and ornamented at the top by a range
of quatrefoils. This mark of regard is the more grati-
fying, us the whole of the interior ornaments of the
church are the gifts of private individuals.--Edinburgh
Observer.
