The market closed heavily, and Flees had a downward tendency.—lt iilway Shares were very firm. The Colonial Produce Markets are a little firmer,- anti holders are offering very little to-day at public sale. The Hon. Edward Stuart Wortley and the Hon. W. Coke have lately arrived at St. Louis, after an absence of abut five months, on a hunt in the buffalo range of the Red River of the North. The party to which they belonged have been unusually successful in the chase. having killed, or more properly murdered, on a single drive, 200 buffalo cows. The company consisted of 80 horsemen, principally half-breeds, and travelled the range far north-west of Devil's lake. The party, in their excursion, visited Pembina, Selkirk Settlement, and Fort Garry and learned from the census recently taken, that Pembina, with the settlement attached, contained 1,200 inhabitants, and Fort Garry, the English trading port, with its environs, about 3,000. The country was quiet, and the people as prospee roes as they could be. These travellers report that, owing to commercial restrictions, imposed on them by the Hudson's Bay Company, the population of Selkirk was in a state of partial revolt, which, it was thought, would break out openly, unless their alleged grievance's were removed. It is reported that the Indians had burned the whole country on the plains, and that large war parties were mov trig in every direction. The Amsterdam Stock Market, on the 7th inst., was inactive tor Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., which were 56 5-16. Spanish Bonds were steady. The Bank of England Parlour meeting of Bank directors has broken up, and no resolution has been come to for an advance in the rate of discount. It is said, nevertheless, that a good many bills are coming up from the country, and that the provincial bankers have their capital more fully employed. The Funds have assumed rather a firmer appearance, and there is less money stock on offer. As the loans obtained from the Bank of England during the shutting of the transfer books become liquidated. and those parties have sold out who bought merely for the purpose of receiving the dividends, the market will rest more upon its own merits, and be subject to the influence of legitimate business, or of speculation besed upon foreign events. Consuls have been quoted 96/ to for Money, and 96i to 974 for the February Account. Exchequer-bills hove advanced to 595. and 635., and India Bonds to 753. and 78s. premium.
