Tho following paragraph, from the Carlow Sentinel, indicates the feelings of religious animosity which prevail in many parts of this country : At the conclusion of the proceedings of the Protestant Orphan Society, which were occasionally disturbed by a crowd of women who assembled in front of the school. house, the lion. and Rev. Mr. Wingfield, the Rev. Samuel Madden, and the Rey. Dawson Maswy proceeded to the residence of the latter gentleman in Carlow. They were followed by a crowd of women shouting and yelling; but the principal objects of their vengeance were the Scripture reader and two young women, Roman Catholics, who appear to have attended the meeting. They were pelted with stones, and would have sustained serious injury but fur the presence of Head Constable Nichols, of the Graigue constabulary, who, on hearing of the disturbance, promptly interposed and kept back the crowd. The two young women above alluded to were obliged to place themselves mule r the protection of the rev. gentleman, one of wham, the lion Mr. Wingfield. the benevolent and charitable rector of Abbeyleix, received a blow of • stone in the attempt to save them from the fury of their ignorant and misguided assailants. In Carlow the numerical strength of the Uraigue mob was increased, and they pursued the rev. gentleman and the two poor women through Dublin street, hooting and yelling like demons, and continued their proceedings until the arrival of the rev. gentleman at the residence of the Iter. Mr. Masse •. Further mischief was prevented by the timely arrival of Head Constable Mooney, Constable Gerson, and a party of the constabu lary, to assist the head constable from Graigue, by whose united and active exertions the mob who surrounded the house were dispersed.

REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE DURISO THE PAST WEEK. (Reis the Mare.lene deem) Though the weather has since our last been fine, the temperature has continued very low fur the advanced period of the season. The days have been bright and sunny, but the nights so cold that the thermometer has on several occasions fallen below freezing point. Vegetation has con sequently been checked, and the crops are not so forward es they usually are at the corresponding time of year ; still so reel eamiams appears at present to be felt respecting the flame, mei, exespilm that the colour of the Wheat phat has become searevrhat yellowish on cold clay soils, the general aspect of the country is not unfavourable. The arrivals of grain and pulse from abroad have again been large at several of the leading ports on the coast; and, though the deliveries from our own growers have been small, considerable difficulty has been experienced in esta blishing any advance on previous prices. That the recent imports of wheat from the Baltic, and flour from France, I have not paid the importers is tolerably certain ; and it is, I therefore, probable that the receipts may for a time be more moderate, but some quantity of Wheat is known to be now on passage from the Black Sea and other distant ports, so that there seems little chance of any present scar city, and we axe inclined to think that, if the weather should become really genial, and the prospects for the next harvest more promising, prices of wheat would not advance mate risß7, even th on e t lece or tta o f b rr the neta e r ly eontinentgiports should . es one moreants sad millers ham manifested no • add largely to their stocks ; and, though the ten ney of prices has been rather upwards, more particularly . in the agricultural districts, where the pressure of the foreign sup plies has beta least felt, still the trade has not been by my means brisk. At most of the large provincial markets the bid qualities of Wheat have been quoted ls. per 7011 e. than last week, and the ordinary kinds were not generally offered lower than before. There was some pressure of flour on the market, but superior parcels were held at full terms. The deliveries of barley and oats from the growers have not increased; the late rise in prices of these articles Las, however, had the effect of ecouomising con sumption, and, with a somewhat diminished demand, and liberal receipt, at several of the leading ports from foreign countries, the upward movement has been shocked. Alto , gether, the grain trade has been more firm than active this week, and the actual change in prices has not been im ' portant. Oar Scotch letters are of a somewhat subdued tone. At Edinburgh, on Wednesday, there was an increased show of farmer.' NVheat, and, though the condition was very good, considerable difficulty was experienced in obtaining previous terms. Foreign Wheat was also dull of male, though not cheaper than before. Quotations of Barley underwent no change, but Oats were quite le. per qr. dearer than on that day se'nnight. At Glasgow on the same day there was little doing in any article, and prices remained nominally unaltered. From Ireland we learn that the supplies of corn had hardly eutficed for the consumptive demand, and that pre cious rates had consequently been firmly maintained. Oats had been in lively request for mealing, and the shipments for England had not been important. The arrivals of Wheat coastwise into the port of London have not increased; indeed, compared with the receipts of last week, a falling off is shown. The quantity brought forward at Mark-lane by land-carriage samples from the Home Counties has likewise been small; and, though the demand has not at any period been active, sellers have asked quite as much mousy as before. On Wednesday the few email lots exhibited on the Env( and Kent stands were placed at previous prices, and quotations were precisely the same at the close as they were in the beginning of the week. The town millers certainly require frost-thrashed wheat, and, unless better supplies come forward than we have lately been receiving, we should not be surprised to witness a small rise in the value of English, even though there may be a pressure of foreign on the market. The arrivals from abroad have been to a fair extent 14,821 gra having been reported up to this (Saturdayi evening. Added to what was previously afloat at port, a liberal display of samples has been afforded from on hoard ship, and the country demand having liven far from active, the supplies have exceeded what has been re quired for immediate use. Importers have nevertheless rentsined firm, and have apparently determined to land rather than submit to lower terms. There have been few offers of floating cargoes of wheat off the coast, and sellers have demanded full terms for Polish Odessa, and similar qualities. The arrivals from the south-east have lately hem small, but a good many cargoes are known to be on pump from the Mediterranean, Black Sea, de. W heat being re latively dearer at the principal Baltic ports than in this country, the offers from thence have failed to excite atten tion, and hardly any free-on-board bargains have been closed. Quotation, of home-made flour have undergone no change requiring notice ; the sale has been slow throughout the week. the arrivals from France have again been rather large, six., 6,681 mks. English Barley has come forward sparingly; but the malting season being over, the finer qualities are now little inquired for, and we have no alteration to notice is prices. From abroad 12,179 qrs. of barley have been received this week, which is a large supply for the time of year. The demand for grinding qualities has scarcely been so active at it was last week; alai, good fresh parcels could not be bought cheaper sit the close than in the beginning of the week. The prevailing belief is that the Baltic supplies will fall off, and remain small for some weeks to come. Malt has met with a moderate share of attention, sad superior ',ample, have commanded very full prices. The arrivals of oats, coastwise and from Ireland, have leen tree inl ; having, however, received 29,353 quarters boon abroad within the period of three weeks, no scarcity of this grain has been experienced. The large dealers have lately purchased rather freely, and haying secured sufficient for present purpases, have shown no inclination this week to continue their operations. The transactions were consequently on rather a retail scale on Wednesday, as well as on Friday, but importers were not by any mesas maxims milers, and former rates were steadily supported. The wind having been favourable for vessels from the north and cast, moat of the cargoes lately received have Mme to hand in good condition ; there is, we believe, now imperatively little on passage, and as the high prices asked ling must interfere with the execution of the English aim, we arc very likely to have comparatively short sup plies kr some time to come. Maas have been in good request throughout the week. The taw parcels of English brought forward have been plead at lust Monday's currency. We have heard of no asks of floating cargoes of Egyptian beans. ' Peas have excited little attention, and no variation re quiring notice has occurred in their value. Indian corn afloat has been inquired for, and most of the cargoes cleat at hand have been taken for Irish account at full prices. THE FOREIGN CORN TRADE. The adviccs from the Baltic are of much the same character this week as before. At Dantzic a fair extent of business appears to have been done ; but the transactions in Wheat seem to have been unimportant at moat of the other ports, owing partly to the smallness of the supplies, and the generally high pretensions of holders of granazied parcels. Our Dantnc advice' are of the 10th inst.; about 0,000 qrs. of wheat bad changed hands during the week, at fully former terms, the dull reports from hence having failed to produce any effect. For Upper Polish, weighing 621 b. per bushel, equal to 40s. per qr. free on board had been paid. Lower Polish and Inland high-mixed, of 611 b. to 621 b. weight, had realised 375. 6d. to 38a.; tine mixed, of 611 b. weight, 375. • and mixed, of 601 b. to Glib., 365. 61. per qr. free on board. The water in the Vistula had be come PI) shallow as to render it difficult of navigation, and the supplies had consequently been very small. Charters had been elueed fur London at 2s. Bd. to 3e., for Scotland at 2s. 61. to 2s. 71., and for Liverpool at 3e. ld. per qr. in fall fur wheat. No allusion is made by our letters to the weather or the state of the growing crops, from which we conclude that there was not much to complain of. At Hmtock, on the 12th May, there was very little passing in wheat, the 'merchants asking higher prices for parcels in warehouse than the limits of the English orders had allowed to he paid. Meanwhile the supplies from the farmers had been very small, and, though the operations had been altogether on a retail scale, the few bar gains closed hail been at full prices. The receipts of Barley not kept pace with the local demand, and previous rates had been well maintained. Stettin letters, dated 12th inst., state that the weather had become cold and wet, which had interfered with the sowing of spring corn. This, and the rite in the English markets, had caused enhanced rates to be asked for both barley and oats, but the value of wheat had not improved, nor had much business been done in the last-named article. Fine Pomeranian and I:ekermark wheat w►s then quoted 365. to3s*. 6d., and good red Stettin 335. 6d. to als. 6d. per qr. free on board. Moderately good qualities of feed oats, weighing 371b5..t0 381bs. per 'bushel, had risen to 14.. to 16s. per qr.; and fur Oderbruck barley, of 511bs. weight, 18s. per qr. free on bawd had been asked. Hamburg advice*, of Tuesday's date, inform us that con tinued small supplies of wheat and some increase in the de mand, had caused a rise of Is. to Is. 6d. per qr. to take plea in prices. The upward movement had been assisted by reports of rather an unfavourable nature respecting the growing crops from different part■ of Germany. Good red .Baale wheat, on the spot, weighing 60Ibs. to 611 b.., was quoted 365. 6d. to 375. 6d. • and tine, 6llbs. to 621 b.. Marka is,lVahren, 365. 9d. to 38i. 6d. per qr. free on board. Bar ley had met with a good deal of attention; and for heavy qualities, to be shipped (roan the Danish islands, 19s. to 20.. per qr. had been paid. The inquiry for cats had also been active, and high prices had been realised, as much as 19s. per qr. having been paid for a paral of Mecklenburg oaths spot, weighing only 36Me. to 371hs. per bushel. The advice, from Holland are without interest, prices being too high in that country for wheat, AI well as for spring corn, to allow of business being done with ilia Eng lish markets. THE FATAL CATASTROPHE LN GRACE CHURCH-STREET. OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION BY THE CITY AUTHORITIES. Early yesterday morning the commissioner of the City police received instructions of the legal officers of the corporation to take possession of the ruins and the remain ing standing portion of Mann. Bell and Corbett's premise* Greeechurch-street, until they had undergone thorough inspection by the surveyors appointed and other competent penons. lhis order was immediately carried into effect, sad a body of constables having cleared every person off the property, all accent to it wu closed, and no person was per mitted beyond the barriers, under any circumstances, ex cept those instructed to inquire into the cause of the acci dent by the corporation. At three o'clock in the afternoon the inquiry was com menced. There were present Mr. Alderman Lawrence (a builder), Mr. Cubitt, M.P. (the newly elected alderman for Langbourne Weed), Mr. Montague, the City surveyor; Mr. Woodtherpe ; Mr. Stephens, the district surveyor; Mr. Tress, and formal others. There were also present Mr. Bell, of rope's-head-alley, a proprietor of the property, his assistant architect, and the superintendent of the works. Considering that the girders were tied and bolted, or locked to the walls, it is surprising that even the front and the portion abutting on Balls-court, should have been left standing. In the centre well-hole or staircase opening, where the mischief commenced, there were four immense eases, etch two ton weight, and measuring nearly twenty feet long ; they were fixed across this opening, on each of the four floors, the ends bearing in the walls, and locked to the longitudinal girders. They were intended to support the stone steps and part of the flooring of the passages, but this part of the work had not commenced. The one that broke and produced the fearful consequences was the up permost one on the fourth floor ; it had been fixed some days and the walls had been carried up to the height re quired to receive the roof. According to Mr. Bell's state ment to the City surveyor', he saw it perfect on Saturday morning ; be went over the works with Mr. King, his super intendent, and found everything apparently safe and secure, and progressing to his tuti , taction. In the course of the day it transpired that another work man, named Donovan, or Donoghue, had lost his life in the fall of the structure. This poor man having been removed to a separate hospital, St. Bartholomew's, as soon as he was dugout, had been fora time lost sight of. lie expired soon after admission. At present, therefore, five persons have perished by this accident. Upon making inquiry last night at St. Thomas's Hospital, the reporter found the man Sullivan, and the other five unfortunate men, progressing very favourably, the former having somewhat recovered from his state of unconsciousness, which leave, some hopes of his ultimate recovery. CORONER'S INQUEST. Tills DAY. This morning Mr. Payne, coroner for the City of London, held an inquest at the London Tavern, Bishops gate-street, on the bodies of the unfortunate men who were killed by this accident. The mows of the deceased were Matthew Connor, Timothy Donoghue, James Ilarrigon, Martin Cronin, and William llintlley. The Coroner said he had been thinking over the matter a great deal, and he was of opinion that the best course would be to commence the inquiry with a description of the pre mises. A gentlemen present informed the coroner that the owners of the premises were most anxious that the matter should undergo the stricte4 investigation. Mr. R. Bell was thereupon called, and he stated that he was an architectresid big in Pope's-head-chambers. The building in question be longed to him and Mr.C.J.Corbett. The building was situated on the west aide of Gracechureh-street, between Nos. 16 and 18. The premises were originally the Cross-Keys hotel, and had some shops in the front, the tavern being in the rear. The whole of the original premises were pulled down. Ho was about to construct merchants' offices, on the "fire-proof principle." The building was com• menced in September last. The witness produced a plan of the ground-fluor of the building. The fire-proof principle was Fox and Barrett's patent, and the floors were constructed under their direction. On Friday night he went over the whole of the building, at half-past six o'clock. Nearly the whole of the concrete was on the roof, ready for the asphalt,: covering. Ile hail the superintendent of the works with him, and also the contractor fur the plaster. To all appearance every thing was quite sate. There was not a " hair crack "to he seen. Ile went there the next morning between 10 and 11 o'clock, when ho found that the south wall of the staircase (nearly the centre of the building) had fallen, and had drawn with it the boors of the external wall next the church. Ile inquired of the contractor, Mr. Bennett what ha I been the cause, as he could imagine no cause. Ile was told that there was one man under the ruins. He never left the spot uutd all the bodies had been found. There were three buried under the ruins. lie hail since ascertained that the cause must have been that the iron girder across the staircase from north to mouth broke, and the weight of it carried away all the " bearers " with it. The weight must have been thirty-tire carts. at least. 'f he others were about the same weight. Messrs. Fox and Barrett hail nothing to do with those girders. Mr. Ford furnished the whole of the girders and iron work. He saw the iron work gene rally before it was put up ; but he did not examine the iron in this instance to see if it was such as ought to have been supplied. The contract was made for proving the whole of it before it was delivered. it was to be proved by the manufacturer. The smaller beams witness himself proved by putting a weight upon thew, and one of them broke with a third of the weight it was intended to carry. The lamer girders he had no means of testing on the premises. He had them made three times the strength that was eon sidered necessary. The girder was 12 inches deep, the bottom " flange " was 7 inches wide. There was a flange on each side, which together were also 7 inches wide. The whole width of the metal was an inch and a quar ter. A flaw was pointed out to him, and, in his opinion, it must have taken place in the casting. From the expe rience he has had he could not say whether such a flaw would be perceptible when the iron was scut out from the manufactory•. If the bearer he alluded to had been pro perly proved, it must hays broken. This bearer ought to have been proved with six tons on the centre. Whether it was so or nut he had no means of knowing. Ile could not say whether they were painted before they were de livered. The contractor undertook to prove and paint them before delivery. Witness calculated that it would have borne 3,5 tons all over it. If a bearer were intended to carry 36 tons he would only trust it with the weight of 12 tons. The contracts for the brick work and mortar were undertaken by other people, and Mr. Bennett was the con tractor for the whole of the work. There was an unusually large quantity of cement in the building. It was the duty of Bennett, and King, the superintendent, to see that the cement was properly prepared. Witness examined the cement, and he considered it to have been properly compounded. Ile wu quite sure that the accident did nut arise from any defect in the brickwork. Before a building of this sort was commenced it was usual to give notice to the district sur veyor, and to furnish him with the drawings. Witness had seen the district surveyor on the premises ; but his impres sion was that he might carry up a building without the per sonal superintendence of the district surveyor. He had never been interfered with by a district surveyo; except as to the eittestion of lights. He was satisfied that the accident arose trom the breaking of a girder with a flaw in it. The top girder (the one which broke) had no weight upon it. None of the girders had any weight upon them worth speaking of. The building was called an " extra first-rate." By a Juror—The district surveyor never made any re mark about the insecurity of the building. On the Friday night there was no weight upon the girders, except a few flooring boards. The wall was a 9-inch wall, and four of the girders were inserted deeply into it. If the wall had been twice or three times as thick, the falling of the top girder would have carried the others with it. The Coroner inquired whether any of the men who saw the accident were present. It was stated that they were all ordered to come, but they were not in attendance. The Coroner said the accounts in the newspapersspoke to some conversation which took place between Mrs. liar rigan and her husband (one of the deceased) shortly before the accident. Wu the woman present ?— [it was stated that she was outside the room, and she was immediately called in and examined.]—She deposed that her name Wee Margaret Harrigan, and her husband, James Harrigan, was one of the men who worked on the premises. He was about 3.5 years of age, and bud worked at the build ing from the commencement. He was unfortunately one of the men who were killed. Ou the day before the accident nothing was said either by bim or herself as to the safety of the building. They merely passed some pleasant words together, and he seemed very happy and comfortable. The coroner said it had been stated in the public prints that the woman had some conversation as to the insecurity of the building. The witness went on to say, that one night last week her husband remarked that he was sure there would be an ac cident, as there was an opening in the floor. She could not recollect anything else having taken place upon the subject. Another woman was called in, and she deposed that on Friday last she heard Mn. Harrigan say to Us larband that it wu not safe for him to eat his dinner in the build- l loft, and Harrigan replied, No, it was not, and he feared there would be a smash some day. Mrs. Harrigan was then farther questioned, but she was so much alarmed that she could recollect nothing. Michael O'Connor, a labourer, said he was at work at the building on the occasion of the accident. He was upon a ladder dole to the iron girder that gave way. The lad der was placed upon the middle floor. Ile saw the girder on the top floor snap right in half, and the two ends went upwards. He did not know what took place afterwards, as he fell to the bottom himself. Mr. James Parsons, • -solicitor at Charing-cross, said that about six weeks ago he went over the building, to obtain some information about the prineible of the fire proof patent, and witness explained to the clerk of the works that he considered one of the girders was insufficient to carry the superincumbent weight. The girder he pointed out was on the south side, next the church. He judged of its insufficiency from its want of size and strength. [This was not thegirder in question.] Mr. James Montague, the district surveyor, had often been upon the premises during the progress of the building. lie was there on Monday, but ho could not give any infor mation as to the probable cause of the accident. lie had never noticed any insufficiency in the thickness oLthe walls. lie believed they were of the thickness requiredly the act of patliament. There is no man in London who had no much experience as Mr. Bell in the construction of lame buildings, and, therefore, witness did not go so often to this building as he otherwise should have done. He, however, went there five or six times, and he never saw anything to excite suspicion or alarm. By a Juror.—He considered that the 9-inch wall was suf ficient to carry four girders, the floors, concrete, &c., the weight of each girder being 35 cwt. He should not be afraid to build a house for himself with such a wall ; but it would certainly be safer if the thickness had been half a brick more. William Glandfleld, a labourer, was employed in the building, and when it fell he was on the ground-floor. Ile saw the girder on the top-floor snap before he heard any noise. If anything had fallen upon the girder before it snapped he could not have seen it. There was not the lean noise until he saw the small girders break. Frederick Mayhew, a carpenter at the building, was pre sent when the accident happened. Ile saw the centre part of the building (where: the staircase is) fall in. lie tint heard a rustling noise, and he immediately ran to the back part of the building. John lknnet, the contractor for the work was on the building at the time of the accident. Ile and Mr. King had been all over the top about a quarter of an hour before it happened, and every thingappeared qute safe and sound. When the accident occurred he was talking to one of the men, when he heard • load report and then a rumbling noise. Witness escaped into an adjoining house. Ile always had his doubts about those staircase girders. lie thought they would not bear the weight. The length appeared too great for the size of them. lie knew nothing about the strength of iron, and what he said was only his own fancy. Mr. Tress, a surveyor, went to the building about 11 o'clock on Saturday morning, but never on any previous occasion. If the wall had been stronger, and had not been loaded with an extraordinary weight of floors, the fall of the girders would still have pulled down the brickwork with them. They might weight a 9-inch wall upon the top as much as they liked, but they could not throw it out of its perpendicular. The girders did not rest upon the walls; they were'• tied" in all directions. Mr. Avian'', an architect, had inspected the premises, and he was of opinion that the accident must have arisen from a flaw in one of the girders. Witness had seen a great deal of the manufacture of cast-iron girders, and the girder that had been dug out was extremely defective. The lower fangs was evidently of bad iron, and in the middle there was a large hollow place two inches in extent. Front look ing at the girder externally, he found it so sound, appa rently, that the flaw might not be discovered, but he did not think it would stand the necessary testa ahem y weight. The proving was a most uncertain operation. They might place six tons upon a cast-iron girder, and it would prove to be quite safe, and on the next day the same of jett might be again tested and not bear the weight of half a ton. Several Juror—Then proving gas for nothing, and we had better do without fire-proof buildings. A long conversation then ensued between the witness and one of the jury, as to the state of the building and the probable cause of the accident. The result was, that the witness repeated his opinion that the defective girder was the cause of the accident. Mr. Woodthorpe, a surveyor, had seen the premises be fore and after they fell. The walls having fallen only internally, it was quite clear that the accident did not arise from any settlement in the brickwork ; and he was quite satisfied that the fall of the staircase girder must have been the cause. All over that building there was not a single downward settlement, and the brickwork was quite green. The front wall was as safe as any wall in the city of London, and the public need not be under any apprehension upon the subject. lo answer to a question from the coroner, Mr. Bell stated that the girders were proved in Scotland. Mr. C. J. Corbett, a surveyor, and partner to Mr. Bell in the property in question, stated that he entered into a contract with Mr. lord to supply the iron-work. (The witness produced a certificate of the girders having been tilted and proved). Michael Sheen, a workman on the building, was there when the accident happened. lie heard something crack, and he looked behind and he saw the walls shaking near the staircase. lie wsa then on the second floor passage, and was getting along front the staircase well hole. lie did not know what was the cause of the walls shaking. Ile never heard any talk as to the insecurity of the building. The Coroner inquired whether there were any witnesses present to prove the names and ages of the deceased persons. The names of the deceased were then severally identified, and their respective ages given. The Coroner then addressed the jury, and observed it was fur them to say what cour.e they wished to adopt. That the unfortunate men had come by their deaths by the falling of the building there was no doubt whatever, and the question, therefore, was how that fall had been caused. [When our report left the jury were consulting as to whether or not they required further evidence.] COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. MINCING LANE.-TIIIS DAY.

The share market opened with a better appearance this morning, but the improvement did not last long, and prices are now flat again, at a lower range than at the commencement of the market. Little disposi tion to operate is evinced, and the bulk of the business still consists of " sellings." Midlands and North British arc at present rather better than they left off yesterday, and Lancashire and Yorkshires, Caledo nians and lirightons, at ono time obtained rather better prices. South F.asterns aro decidedly heavy, and Eastern Counties are flat. Thereturn of the London and Brighton traffic for the week ending the 17th instant, was made known yes terday afternoon, and is of a favourable character. The amount is 9,7021. against 9,2731. in the corres ponding week of last year, showing an increase of 429!. The average return per mile is £56.00 this year against £54.14 last year.

Two o'Cr,oex. The attendance of dealers in the Stock Exchange is limited to-day by the inducements held out to holiday making, nor is it to be expected that business will acquire any large amount of activity this week. The business in the home stocks as entirely for money, not a single bargain for the account being recorded in the official list up to the present time. With the renewal of operations by the government broker, who has re-commenced his week's purchases as usual, rather more stea diness has been imparted to the market, and prices have been fairly supported at the closing rates of yesterday. Consuls for money have not varied from their pre sent quotation of 974 to 1, whilst for the 10th of June they are nominally culled 971 to 4. The official statement of the due's business is : Three per Cent. Consols, 971, ; Three per Cents. Itedueed, 981, ; Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 971, 1, ; Long Annuities, 1860, 7 5-16,1 ; ditto thirty years, 1860, 74, 9-16th. South Sea Old Annuities, 96. Bank Stock, 211, 210. The Exchequer Bill market is rather steadier, but no rally in prices has occurred. Business is marked in the 1000/. bills at 435. prem.; ditto 500/., 468., 475., 435.; ditto small, 435. India Bonds, under 1,0001., 545. prem. The Exchequer Bills dated in the month of Tune, 1850, are advertised to be sent in for pay ment or renewal on or previous to the sth of ,lure next. The new hills will be issued on the 13th of June, and will, of course, bear the same interest, at the rate of 10. per cent. per day. The foreign stock market is generally firm, though without any extensive range of transactions. Mexi can Bonds receded to 341 yesterday afternoon, but have to-day been steadier. Chilian Six per Cents. have also attained a better figure, the operations of the sinking fund exercising a favourable influence by making the stock scarcer. Peruvian bonds are still looking down. To-day's business list comprises; Belgian Four-and-a-half per Cents., 92. Brazilian Old Five per Cents., small bonds, 89. Chaim Six per Cents., 1001. Danish Five per Cents., 103.5.

Saturday's letters front Antwerp mention a little weakness in the home stork market, in consinuence of the news of the dissolution of the ministry. Aus trian stocks were also worse, whilst Spanish were in brisk demand. Prices are quoted :-Belgian Two and-a-Hall per Cents., 491; ditto Four-and-a• Half per Cents., 911; ditto Five per Cents., 181 s, 971 to 1. Austrian Five per Cents., Metalliques. 75 to 1.

Amsterdant letters of Friday report little change in the national stocks, with little doing in them. Spanish were better, whilst Portuguese underwent a decline. Austrian, which had risen, were also scarce, owing to sales. Theces quoted are:-- Dutch Two-and-a-llalf per C ents., 57 7-16; ditto Four per Cent. Certifs., 87 15-16 to 88.
