■ Tvort“ LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 24. 1853. [THREEPENCE. itUIVIS l' MAKKEI'. WIIDNISDAT EVANINO. In the absence of any intelligence of s t r iki ng im portance from the continent, there was little varia tion in the English funds to-day. On the whole the feel ing of the market was not quite so good, aufacaPeolia five sales being effected by influential operators, but generall3 the market is steady in character, and the Lite rally is maintained. Consols ranged between 994 and 994, and finally closed 991 to 1 for money, and 991 rather buyers for the 13th April. The go verament broker took another parcel of stock off the market, and also invested to a limited extent in the Three per Cent. Anns. of 1726 at 991. Other stocks in this department were without business. Alto gether this was a very dull day in the various de partments of the house. The Exchequer Bill market was rather flatter. The June bills were sold at 9s. prem., closing 9s. to 13s. prem. ; whilst the transactions in the March issue were at 75., Bs., and 12s. prem. In the foreign stock market, the chief movement was in Spanish, which was in further demand on foreign orders. The Deferred Three per Cents. have been largely bought yesterday and to-day ' musing 244 to 25; whilst the Certificates hft off 81 to 81 per cent. It is suspected that telegraphic advice, have been received in Paris from Madrid, conveying intelligence as to the actual position of the negotiations for:the new loan. Mexican Bonds are firm at 254 to 1, owing to the dealers being over-sold. Turkish Scrip is quoted 1 to 11 prem. Ecuador Bonds haveimproved,on the intelligence of the discovery of a gold mine at Jama in that republic ; but it does not appear that this re ported discovery has any direct bearing on the in terests of the foreign creditors. Sardinian and Russian stocks are better supported, and gene rally this market wears a steady appear ance. The list of bargains is annexed : Brazilian Old Five per Cent, 1031, 4.

The document in question will be found in our advertising columns. Pro rietoes are required to attend at the India House to signify their assent to the conversion, or to apply in writing for proper forms for signature. The Berlin Wster Works Company, known to have been for some time past in course of formation, le at length on the market. The capital is fixed at 360,00 W., in 101. shares. The concessionaires are Sir Charles Fox and Mr. T. C. Crampton, who have ob tained an exclusive concession from the Log of Prussia, by whom the project is stated to be warmly supported. The concession is to be of 28 years' du ration, and all net profits above 10 per cent., up to lb per cent., are to be divided equally between the state and the company. At the cad of the 28 years the government is to have the option of taking the whole of the works at an equitable valuation. The promoters' estimate of the not profits likely to accrue to the undertaking show a dividend at the rate of 18 per cent. per annum. Arrangements have been entered into with hAir C. Fox and Mr. Crampton, by which those gentlemen engage, for the sum of 327,0001., to hand over to the company within two years the entire works required, the above sum including expenses of every description. It is stated that the company is already completely registered and the deed of settle ment executed, and it has been determined to all up 21. 10s. per share on all the shares of the company, on which 6 per cent. interest will be payable in London. Another undertaking connected with the north of Europe, and promoted by English capital, is the Royal anish Railway, which is to run from the frontier of Schleswig to Flensburg and Terming. Messrs. Peto, Betts, and Braasey have undertaken to lease the line for a period of 14 years and pay a minimum rent of 6 per cent. per annum, divid : lordly with the shareholders all profits heyoeL During construction 5 per cent. interest is to be allowed on all payments, and the concession is is perpetuity. The promoters, it appears, have adopted the unusual course of allotting the shares amongst their own connexion. without publicly soliciting sub. scriptions. The allotment is already made, and the shares were quoted in the Stock Exchange to-day to 21 prem. The quotations of stocks at Amsterdam on Tuesday are thus reported by telegraphic express:—Dutch Four per Cents., 95 5.16; ditto Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 65 1-16. Spanish Deferred Three per Cents., 24 7-16. Mexican New, 251. The Spanish Committee's Certificates, 81. Austrian Five per Cent. Metallic., 811. Spanish Old Three per Cents., foreign, 48 5-16. Granada Deferred, 111. Peruvian, New, 88. Portuguese, New, 38 11-16. Most of these prices show a raily. At Vienna on Tuesday the Five per Cent. Metalliai were quoted 93,1; and exchange on London, 10.54. In miscellaneous stocks there was no feature of much importance to-day. Australian Agricultural closed 100 to 105, and North British Australasian, sellers at 11 prem. being rather flat. Scottish Aus tralian Investment shares, however. were better, closing 2to 2k prem. Van Diemen's Land left off 23 to 24. British American Land, which closed yes terday afternoon 68 to 70, did not fully maintain their rise today, marking 66 and 65. In the market for Australian Bank shares, China Bank were firmer, but the Australian Scottish, and Union of Australia flatter. Oriental Bank shares continue in demand. London Joint Stock Bank shares were done at 201; London and Westminster Bank, 35,1; Union Bank of London, 171; Crystal Palace (51. paid), 6,1; General Screw Steam Shipping (121. paid), 11Z, 12; North of Europe Steam (51. paid), 4/, 5; Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 84, 1.

The following is a copy of a " declaration," bearing upon the international relations between France and England, which hu during the last few daysbeenexten sively signed in nearly every part of the City. The signatures embrace the names of the Lord Mayor, seve ral of the representatives of the City of London in par liament, the Governor of the Bank of England, and many of the leading bankers, merchants, and brokers; so that the document may be regarded as one invested with peculiar significance from the strong testimony which it bears to the friendly feeling existing in the minds of the mercantile classes cd this country towards the French nation at large. We find, how ever, that the allusion to the tone adopted by the press in relation to French matters is very variously construed by the subscribers to this friendly declara tion, and that many men, equally remarkable for their eminent position and consistency of character, have objected to join in it on account of the slur upon the press which appears to be embodied in the phrase in question. The journals which denounced Louis Napoleon did so on the ground that ho had betrayed the nation which had trusted him. No English journal has ever uttered a y vor d aga i ns t th e people of France. They are our neighbours and our brothers in civilisation and commerce, and the Eng lish newspapers, when denouncing the hero of the coup Vial, expressed warm sympathy with the French nation. 07 TRZ MIRCKANTS, aANLIRI, TRADII AND OTLLIU , OF LONDON. We, the tanderaigned, merchants, bankers, traders, and others, of London, feel ourselves called upon, at thi s ti me , publicly to express the concern with which we l earn , through various channels of information, that an impression exists in the minds of the people of France, that feelings of en unfriendly character are entertained towards them by the people of England. We think it right emphatically to declare, that we believe no such feelings exist on the part of the English people towards the people of France. We believe the welfare of both nations to be closely interwoven, as well in a mutually advantageous and extending commer cial intercourse, as in a common participation in all the im provements of ert and science. Rejoicing in the reflection that nearly forty years have passed since the final cessation of hostilities between France and England, we record our conviction, that European wars should be remembered only to be deplored, fur the eacrifice attire and treasure with which they were attended—the hindrances they interposed t o a ll useful enterprise and social advanosment—the angry and unchristian feelings which they evoked in their progress— and the heavy financial burdens which they left behind them at their cline—considerations which supply the most powerful motives to every individual in the European com munity, to avoid, and to oppose, by every means in his power, whatever may tend to cause the recurrence of such evils. We desire to remark, that if in that expression of opinion on public questions which the press of this country is accustomed to exercise, it is found occasionally to sp ea k with apparent harshness of the government or the institu tions of other states, the same is not to be understood in a spirit of national hostility, or as desiring to give offence. We feel that with the internal policy or mode of govern ment which the French nation may think good to adopt for itself, it is not for British subjects to interfere, further than heartily to desire that it may result in peace and happiness to all interested therein.
