The English stock market was fairly supported during the greater part of the day, but Consols be came natter in the afternoon, on a further supply of money stock. The day's business was transacted between 1001 and 1001, and tho after-hours' quota tion was 100; to for money, and 100; for the 12th inst., or 1-16 to r lower than on Saturday. The contango to the account of tho Ist June ruled at A to 3-16. The present active demand for money out of doors renders business dull in this and every other department of the Stock Exchange. Pending the discussions on the Budget there is also an indisposi tion to operate largely. The official business report is as follows:—Three per Cent.

THIS DAY.—Two o'CLocK. The English funds arc steady to-day, but the sup ply of money stock continues to check the tendency towards an advance. Consols have ruled the same as yesterday, between 100 :to 1001, and are now quoted 100,; to I for money, 1001 for Thursday, and 1001 to 101 for the Ist June.

Tho March bills are relatively a shade better, closing 2a. to as. prem. At present this market is in a state of suspense, pending the government advertisement of the Juno Bills, which is expected to be issued almost imme diately, and thus the transactions aro very limited. It is the general impression that in the present more stringent position of the money market, either an in creased interest on the new bills must be conceded by government, or there must be purchases on national account to support the market. Some parties are disposed to think the latter alternative the more probable one. India Bondsmark 28s. to 325. prem. Foreign stocks were steady in price, but very in animate.

The government contract with the Australian Royal Mail Steam Navigation Company having been annulled, the Postmaster-General has issued a for. mal notice, inviting tenders for the conveyance of mails to Australia by steamers or sailing vessels. As the arrangements proposed are invested with con siderable public interest, we subjoin an extract from the official notification : The dates of despatch to be as follow, viz., the 4th June, 4th August, 4th October, and 3rd December, of this year, respectively, and the port of departure to be that of London, Liverpool, Southampton, or Plymouth. The Postmaster-General will be ready on Thursday, the 19th of May, before 11 o'clock in the forenoon, to receive tendert, fur ships to convey the mails of the 4th of June. Such ships to be clawed A 1 at Lloyd's. The sum of 1,0001. will be paid by the Postmeeter-General fur this voyage to Aus tralia, and persons tendering will be required to specify the number of days in which they will undertake to deliver the moils at their destination, subject to penalties for delay, either in departure or arrival. Other things equal, the preference will he given to that tender which specifies the shortest time fur the service. Notices will appear shortly with regard to the mails of August, October, and De- cember. It is to be regretted that the government, now that it is unshackled by any contracts, should pro ceed on the shabby system of despatching a mail direct from England once in two months only. It is true there is an intermediate service through the medium of the India mail and the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, but our rela tions with Australia are now so important that the expenditure of a few thousand pounds extra is a mere trifle compared with the advantages derivable from rapid and frequent communication with those colonies. _ _ _ Considerable dissatisfaction is expressed at the large amount of the deduction for expenses made by the directors of the Woodford Railway Company on returning the deposits to the shareholders. The de posit was 11., of which 9s. per share is announced as having been expended. It is also objected that the directors are acting very arbitrarily, as it is thought they might at least have done the shareholders the courtesy of inviting them to express their opinion as to the course beat to be pursued under the circum stances. Cases of this kind are very likely to in crease the already prevalent disposition on the part of the public to view with disfavour all new projects for home lines of railway. The result goes clearly to show the folly of giving large premiums for shares in new home railway undertakings. In answer to inquiries, it may be useful to mention that the East India Company have given notice of a reduction of !d. per rupee in tho rate at which they will receive cash tbr bills drawn by them on their Indian presidencies. It has been erroneously stated that this reduction applies to the rate of interest on India Bonds. The subjoined is extracted from the New York Courier and Enquirer • It is announced that the Treasury department at Wash ington will avail itself forthwith of the act of Congress, which authorises the purehase of U.S. Securities at their market value. There is an unnecessarily large accumula tion of coin in the sub treasury, and the disbursement of five or six millions will be a benefit to the whole country. Australian Land shares were generally inactive. Agriculturals closed rather more firmly, at 81 to 83. South Australian Laud left off 46 to 48; and British American Land, 76 to 78—the other stocks as in the 3 o'clock list. Australian Bank shares wore quiet. Those of the Chartered Bank of India, Australia, and China fell to 10s. prem., in consequence of the doubts thrown upon the statements of this company having obtained a charter. In other miscellaneous shares there were very few dealings: Peninsular and Oriental Steam shares have been done at 851 ; and Provincial Bank of Ireland, new shares (101. paid), at 181. Shares of the Grand Central Railway of France closed 24 to 21 prem.; Grand Trunk of Canada, Ito 1 prem.; Berlin Waterworks, to to prem. From Hanover it is mentioned that the section of the Hanoverian Southern Railway, from the capital to Alfeld, a distance of about 33 English miles, was op: ned on the 30th ult. This line, when completed, will connect Hamburg, ria Hanover and Cassel, di rectly with Frankfort and South Western Germany. It is stated that English capitalists have in view the formation of several other lines of railway in this part of Germany, but it is to be hoped that our mar ket will not bo oppressed with any more foreign schemes of magnitude for the present.

THE LAST AUSTRALIAN MAIL, Tin India, con. tinned about 30,000 letters, and 50,000 newspapers. THE NEW AUSTRALIAN MAIL SYSTEII.—The SOUL to be paid in future for the conveyance of a mail to Aus tralia will be 1,0001. sterling. The following are the chief conditions of the tender for conveying the next Australian mail. The mail may be conveyed in a steamer or sailing vessel by any route, and she may sail from London. Liver pool, Plymouth, or Southampton. The vessel must be des patched on the Ith of June next; if not, a dail, penalty of 501. will be enforced ; and if the vessel is not despatched on the 9th of June the contract can be annulled and a penalty of 250/. inflicted. The Australian nails may be landed at Adelaide, Melbourne, or Sydney. If the mail packet only calls at one port 1001. is to be deducted for the delivery of each of the other mails by the colonial postmasters, and the time for the performance of the contract is to be reduced. The penalty for not delivering the mails in the time speci fied is 201. a day. The total penalties are not to exceed 1,250/. The mail ship must be registered at Lloyd's AI. The mail room is to contain a space equal to 1,000 cubic feet, or larger it required. It is to be under lock and key, and protected from leakage. No lettere are to be conveyed by the mail ship except those contained in the mails or pri vileged by law. The contract is not to be underlet without consent of the Postmaster-General. No member of the House of Commons is to be cennected with the contract. DANGEROUS SHOAL IN THE PACIFIC.—The new shoal which is now in process of formation by marine vol canic agencies, bears south-west from St. Clement's Island, about 3.1 miles, and is within 8 miles of the coral reef indicated by the 'United States' coast survey, but not down on the ordinary charts. As nearly as ascertained, it is about half a mile in extent, lying directly in the track of the Paaama steamers, and Wall seen by Captain Cropper, of the Cortes, and Mr. Healy, his first officer, as well as by the commander of the Pacific. Captain Cropper witnessed the following phenomenon :—The sea around the shoal was as smooth as a floor, when suddenly a heavy column of water was projected into the air some twenty feet, appearing to be thrown up from a common centre, and, although white with foam, having no appearance such as ordinary breakers present. In an instant it subsided, and the water became as smooth as it was before. This was repeated several times, and leaves no room to doubt of the existence of a submarine volcano there. According to the observation made en board the steamer Pacific, the latitude of this new shoal is 32.30 N., longitude 119.08 W.—Panama Hero/d. AusrnALlA:i PitonttE.—According to Sydney papers recently received, the value of the produce of the New South Wales gold fields in 1851, was 46%3882: N T S end in 1852, 2,744,961/. The wool exports in 1851 atneenttd " 1 . 4 .. V“.• to 45,78.3 bales; in 1852, 0,151 bales. In 18.3142pG oaski of tallow were exported; in 1852, the exports *mooted to 19,914 casks. 68,641 hides were exported in 1861, and 73,104 in 1852, which proves that the pastoral interetts of New South Wales have suffered no serious detnment from the gold discoveries. e; r /
