BosroN, Nov. 2S.-The London Daily News
has an article which says that the English
stock market, on Friday, showed decided
buoyancy, owing chiefly to the support given
by the recent withdrawal Of stock BIZ the pub
lie, and an approaching declaration cf half
years dividend.
A rise of three eighths Of penny was tenn
porariIy obtained but the market subse9uen-
Iy relspsed, and the closing quotations were
only quarter of penny higher than yester-
day.
Discounts are moro quiet and rates remain
unchanged. The three per cents closed ut
Paris to-day a shade lower, and eschequer
bills declined one shilling.
The British Government has Of cislly pre-
hibited the expectation Of Saltpetre from the
East India CompAny's territories, to any other
ports than Liverpool and London. i, has been
ordered that all vessels loading in England
with Saltpetre, or nitrate Soda, for the United
States, shall discharge the same.
The ship Catharins, an American vessel,
was loading at London for Boston, and was
compelled 10 discharge her cargo Of saltpetre.
The losses by the recent gale along the coast
Of England are estimated at g; 500 600.

A DANGEROUS CONFERENCE.-THE Phila-
delphia Ledger says: "We saw, yesterday, a
So bank bill Of the Philadolphia Bank altered
to $50, and the alteration SO skilfully done
that persons unacquainted with the notes Of
that bank would be likely to be deceived
This note, which is genuine SIS altered, may
be detected by holding it to the light and OBJ
serving the difference Of shading in the figures
go, which is lighter than the general shades
OF the note A more certain mark of detec:
ton, however. is in the difference of the Wig
nette. On the fves, in the upper left corner,
there Is vignette Of two reclining female
figures, with the goddess of Liberty between
them, and on the right hand of the note fe-
male figure, seated, with bird and globe in
her right hand, and spear in the left hand.
In the twenties there are two heads of Wash.
ington above, two female figures, sail vessel
on night, houses on left, spread eagle below;
a likeness Of franklin on the right end of the
note, and bust of William Penn on the left
end As this altered note has the pictorial
