arrived here at 7 o'clock this morning.
The monetary article in the Daily Ne,cs,
dated Friday evening, 9th instant says "The
English stock market to-day showed decided
buoyancy, owing chiefly to the support given
by the recent withdrawing Of stock bv the pub
lie, and to the approaching declaration of the
half-yearly dividend on the 18th of December.

| obtained. In the afternoon, however, the mar
ket, though retaining steadiness of character,
experienced relapse, and the closing quota
tons were only one quarter per cent. higher
than those of yesterday. The discount market
was quleter, the rates ruling as before. At
Paris, to-day, the three per cents closed a shade
lower than the quotations of Thursday. 1t is
stated that about half million of the last in
stalment on the Turkish loan has still to be
RENTED to Constantinople. As another install
ment OF the three-quarters of million will be
| PAID by the subscribers on the 23d instant it
Is evident that the drain of specie this quarter,
coupled with the still unsatsied requirements
OF the Bank OF France, will tend to diminish
the belief which for some time has been enter
tanned, that the money market might be ex-
pected to derive great benefit from any arrivals
of Australian gold.'

discharged of the saltpetre on board.
