Yesterday having beea a close holiday at Liverpool as well as here, there was nothing done in the Cuttun or Share markets.  There are advicos a few days later from the Cape of Good Hope, the Mauritius, and accounts also to Oct. 23, from Rio de Janeiro. At the Cape nearly all the interest of local affairs is confined to the events on the frontier, and at Natal, where matters seemed to be tolerably quiet, the Governor, after his personal visits, having established regular posts, so as to ensure a communication direct between himself and the authorities in Kafirland, and appearing at the same time resolved to exact compliance with existing treaties. The improvements going on in the colony afford very decided evidence of the enterprise and intelligence of the settlers, and the improvement of the navigation of the Kovvie river was a point taken up with much zeal. The Governor had offered a reward of 2001. fur the apprehension of the natives, about three or four in number, who murdered De Lange, the Dutch farmer. Throughout his progress the colonists gave Sir Peregrine a very excellent reception ; and this was the more gratifying, as the thinly scattered population can support none of the usual establishments of " the old country," for the accommodation even of the poorest travellers, and private hospitality is the necessary substitute. The Mauritius and Rio papers contain nothing of general interest.  The Committee of Spanish American Bondholders are persevering in their endeavour to bring M. Mosquera to book, by obtaining from him a statement of the amount remitted for the New Granada Bondholders, and there are hopes, as Lord Aberdeen has interfered, that the attempt will eventually be successful. The Public Securities have been very quiet to-day, but they are firm, Consols having reached 1004 Exchequer Bills have given way a trifle, being 665. to 635. premium. Bank Stock has risen to 210 and 210 i. The New Three-and-a-quarter per Cents. are 103 k to 1031, and the Three per Cents. 1001 to 100}. The Foreign market has been buoyant again, although there is not so much doing. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 21 to 28, and the Three per Cents. 381 to 4. Portuguese Converted Stock has been marked 601 to for Money, being an advance again. Peruvian Stock is 29} to 30. Dutch Two-and•a-Half per Cents. are 641 ; and Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1024. Russian Bonds are 120. There is rather an active market again for railway shares, but prices are fluctuating, as the account day is approaching. The quotations below given will show that some lines have improved, while others have gone back a trifle.
