The funds have risen per cent., a good effect being produced by some large arrivals of specie. There is also an advance in most of the principal English railway stocks and in several of the more speculative kinds of foreign securities. The scrip of the Confederate Loan is rather lower, at 1} to 2 prem. The scrip of the Turkish Loan is steady at Ito prem. ; and that of the Italian Loan at 11. to 1.; prem. _ The usual telegrams from the Paris Bourse have not yet come to band. Consols are now quoted 921 to 93, both for money and the account (May 7). The official I business report is as follows :-Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 921, 93 ; ditto for account, 93, 921 ; Three per Cents: Reduced, 911, 1 ; New Three per Cents., 91f, 1, ; Thirty Years Annuities, 1885, 14 15-16 ; India Five per Cent. Stock, 1091, ; ditto Bonds, 21s. prem., Four per Cent. " enfaced " rupee paper, 98 ; ditto Five per Cent., 1071 ; ditto Five-and-a-Half per Cent., 1151 ; and Exchequer Bills, Bs. prem. In the foreign stockmarket the tendency of prices is upwards. Greek Bonds, Venezuelan Six per Cents., and Turkish Bonds of 1854 have risen about per cent., and the Conaolidds f. Mexican and Spanish Passive Bonds show a further improvement, while Spanish Certificates do not fully support yesterday's rise. Some of the present quotations are annexed :-Turkish, 1854, Loan, 87 to 88 ; ditto 1868, 68 to 1 ; ditto 1862, 70 to 1 ; the Consolidis, 47/ to 481 ; Greek, 29 to ; and Venezuelan Six per Cents., 581 to 59. Transactions are recorded as follows:-Brazilian, 1862, 1858, 1860, 94, 931 ; Egyptian, 971, 981 ; ditto, second issue, 971 ; Greek, 291, 29, 1, 29 ; ditto for account, 291 ;ditto Coupons, 131, 1, 14 ; Italian (Maremmana Railway), 76, 3 ; Mexican, 344, 331 ; ditto for account, 341 ; Moorish, 95 ; New Granada, 15 ; Peruvian, 1862, for account, 881; Portuguese, 1862, 47/ ; Russian, 1850, 901 ; ditto 1862, 95, 1, 941 ; Spanish Passive, 321, 334, 321, ; ditto Certificates, 101, 111, 101 ; Turkish, 1864, 872 ; ditto, 1862, 70f, 3 ; Venezuela, 231 ; ditto, 1862, 581, 1. The new Sardinian Railway project has been re ceived with favour, and the shares are quoted in the Stock Exchange to-day 1 to 14 prem. The arrival of 570,5001. in specie is announced to-day, the Shannon, from the West Indies, having brought 498,5001., and the Calliance, from Geelong, 72,0001. - . The discount market is exceedingly easy. Although in many quarters n per cent. continues to be asked, good bills having three months to run were taken yesterday at 3, with exceptional transac tions even a fraction lower. Six months' paper was negotiated at percent. The business at the Bank of England Discount-office was consequently very light. It appears that the precise returns of the subscrip tion to the New Turkish Loan show that 2,500,000 bonds of 201. each, representing a capital of 60,000,0001. sterling, have been applied for in all, while the loan is limited to 300,000 bonds, or 6,000,0001. It has therefore been subscribed for rather more than eight times over, but, as applicants for a single bond will receive their allotment in full, it is computed that the larger subscribers will probably obtain about one-ninth of the amount written for. The applications in Englandrepresent about 3 000,0001. of stock, and as the amount to be allotted here will therefore be only about 330,0001. to 350,0001., it is evident that our money market will not be in fluenced. It is believed that the scrip will be ready for delivery between the 20th and 25th of May. No doubt is entertained that the Stock Exchange will be closed on Friday next, the Ist of May, according to custom, that being the day when the half-yearly balance is struck at the Bank of Eng land, where the transfer offices will be shut. The Canada, from Boston, has brought 12,0001. in specie. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have to day appointed to-morrow a special settling day in the share* of the Imperial Ottoman Bank and the Mercantile and Exchange Bank (Limited), I both of which are to be officially marked. Monday next has also been fixed as a special settling day in the shares of the Cotton Plantation Company of Natal ; but these are not to be quoted in the official list. The following is a copy of the resolution adopted by the Stock Exchange Committee with reference to the settlement in Imperial Ottoman Bank shares : That it is not sabta the province of the committee to decide upon the qoestion between the 00000118110011401 at 11539 of the Bank of Turkey and the Turkish government , but after the most careful oonsideration the committee are of opinion that nothing has transpired to diseutitle the share, of the imperial Ottoman Bent to a settlement, and a quotation in official list. ' - - • • It is notified that holders of tickets for Imperial Ottoman Baok shares, deliverable on the 30th inst., can, on application, receive them on the 29th (to- morrow). A very important undertaking is announced under the title of the Royal Sardinian Railway Company. It is constituted under auspices of the highest respectability, and enjoys concessions and privileges of such a nature as would probably cause it to be sought after with extreme avidity had not the creation of Italian securities of late years been so rapid. The capital, which will be allotted between England, France. and Italy, con sists of 1,000,0001. sterling, in 50,000 shares of 201. each, to which attaches the right of subscrib ing, at the rate of 111., or 275 francs, to obliga tions of 201 or 500 francs, to the extent of 2,000,0001. of nominal capital. The project has what may be termed a double basis, namely, first, an Italian government guarantee, and secoutlly, a large grant of freehold land. The government guarantee is in the form of an annual subvention, equal to 5801. sterling per English mile for 99 years. This guarauteed income, together with the low rentals now proceeding from the landed estates, will suffice, after providing for interest and sinking fund of the 2,000,0001. of obligations, to pay a minimum esti mated dividend of 8 per cent. on the share capital, while during construction 6 per cent, interest is to be paid. The advantage, however, does not end here, fsr the land, comprising 480,000 English acres, which has been absolutely granted to the ' , company, is now officially valued at 500,0001., I or equal to half the share capital. The proceeds of this land, when sold, will from time to time be divided as a bonus to the shareholders, over and above the guaranteed interest. The value of this concession may be imagined if the estimate be ac curate, that the railways will ultimately double the value of the land. It is thus contemplated that the shareholders shall have their capital re paid to them out of the proceeds of the land sales, and nevertheless continue in the enjoyment of the dividends during the whole period of 99 years. It need only be stated further, that the company's railway concession confers an absolute monopoly, and that the practicability of constructing the lines within the capital proposed is proved by an offer to this effect from an eminent firm of coatractors. The lines will be about 240 miles in length, and will establish a complete system of oommunication throughout the whole length of the island of Sar dinia. The time allowed for the completion of the works is six years. The interest is to be payable half-yearly, m London, Paris, Turin, and Genoa. The prospectus of the National Guarantee and Suretyship Association (Limited) is in cir culation with a proposed capital of 250,0001. in 201. shares. This company has been established in Edinburgh to transact the business of fidelity-guarantee or suretyship in all its branches. It appears that the only Scotch guarantee office has been recently merged in an English life assurance company. The directors, who are respectable, state peleaßal.m.

He then took possession of the box, driving the watchman away.

COMMA LIT/AS.IIY STATISTICS.—There is a curi ous scrap of literary statistics in the current number of the Quarterly Berke). It relates to the clam of publications now generally recognised as " Sensation Novels," and it shows, after the manner of an arithmetical allegory, bow the cheap grub in those cases becomes transformed into the costly butterfly. The process is instructive. The incubation takes place in a penny or twopeany serial, where the vital prin ciple is first developed, ad whole novel may be bad, in that form, for • few shillings. But it is no sooner com pleted than it takes wings, in the shape of three volumes, end obtains an immediate sale by thousands at fire tames, and sometimes at more than five times the original mice. The best way toreador this astonishing proceeding intelligible is to pot it into figures. Take the following osmotic "The Woman is White," and "No Name," originally sold to a die osmium public, together with the fist of the serial, at the price of 6s. Bd., briap 31s. 6d. when it is expanded into volumes, and sold by itself. "Great Expectations," which may be bought for 4s. 4d. is Bambini, is in like manner sold at 31s. 6d. in volumes. " Mrs. Halihartoa's 'Troubles," issued in the first instate°. in 34 penny numbers, and "The Channinp," which in its aerial form carried only the modest charge of 2a. are both in com mand of a considerable circulation in volumes at the same 0010111111 price of 31s. 6d. This statement needs no exposition. The moral it bears flowers up palpably, and cannot be mistaken. He who runs may read, that in this great book market of London the same article fetches two prices, and that those prices are so utterly disproportionate to each other as to suggest a suspicion that political economy is not infanta& and that it is possible for the law of supply mad demand to be at fault. The only difference between the two editions of these novels is the difference of paper aad beards, for which,oosting perhaps little more than • shilling, the unconscious purchaser is charged • premium= ' flora shoat 28e. up to 29,. 6d.

The obligations of the South Italian Railway Company are to be quoted in the Stock Exchange official list. _ _ --- It is understood that the meeting of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, to-morrow, will be held merely pro formd, owing to the absence of any announcement from government with respect to the West India mail contract, tenders for which were sent in on the 2ad of February.
