Yesterday was kept as a c...
Yestcrday was keDt as a close holyday both at thc Bank and the Stock Exchange. T'he private business transact- ed in the different Government securities was extremely limited, and with little variation on the prices of Monday.. Thn chief bargains were in Consols for the account, at 9$5&, and in Mexican Stock at 69 to 0, but closing nearer to the former price. In the shares-of the foreign miiningassocia. tions there was considerable activity, most of them being in demand, at advanced prices. The Brazilian shares bore a premium of Sos. each. Owing to the tempestuous wea- ther, the regular mail from Paris did not arrive. A vessel, named the Two Sisters, has arrived at Guern- sey froum Rio de Janeiro, whence slhe sailed on the 12th of October.

'T'he arrival has only been made known by the receipt of one letter, which, by some oversight, was not intrusted to the vessel supposed to have been lost, but afterwards sentl by the packet to Portsmoath. This letter contains no news. The packet from England had not arrived on the 12th of October. Advices were received yesterday from Buenos Ayres to the 1st of October, but they furnish no additional informa- tion resrccting the military operations in Upper Peru.

It is also reported that the Irish Com- mittee have presented a clergyman, the son of an Alder- man, to a living of upwards of 2,0001. per ahnum.
