In every department of the Stock Exchange to day a great stimulus was given by the publication of the details of Mr. Gladstone's proposals for effect ing a partial commutation of the National Debt. In an — other part of our paper we publish the text of the resolutions which will be submitted by the Chancellor to parliament, and in our leading columns will be found the remarks which the first perusal of the docu ment is calculated to provoke. The chief merit of Mr. Gladstone's explanation is certainly not that of perspicuity, and consequently the annexed abstract in brief of its most salient points may be of service : South Sea Stock, South Sea Annuities, and the Three per Cent. Annuities of 1726 and 1731, are to be compulsorily redeemed. Holders of the above stocks, by giving notice on or before the Bth May, 1853, may receive for every 1001. stock either Glugow and South Western Caleuonian . ___ 1832 £4,070 .... 8,129 .... 1,864 .... 619 Edinburgh and Glasgow Scottish Central Scottish Midland Junction The Irish returns are: Belfast and Ballymena Belfast and County Down Ulster Londonderry and Enniskillen Cork anu Bandon Waterford and Limerick Cork, Blackrock, and Passage 18.53. 18.52.

Stuart, for Adelaide, 10,0004 We have here a total of no less than 265,0001. 188 379 :::: :Jai 178 .... 124 THIS DAY—Two o'CLott. The late advance in the English funds has not been quite supported to-day, as the opinion is becom ing general that the government financial plan must be subjected to considerable modifi cation before it can meet with unqualified approbation. There is still, however, a strong confidence in the prospects of the market, and the rise in the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cent. stock is fully maintained. Consols have been sold as low as 1001, but the prevalent quotation has been 1004 to for money and account, which is also the present price. The Three per Cent. Reduced mark 991 to 100; the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 103 to 3 ; South Sea New Annuities, 100 t ; Bank Stock, 223 ; Exchequer Bills, ss. to 9s. prem.; India Bonds, 435. prem. Foreign stocks are firm, and the good dividend paying descriptions aro generally better, especially Dutch. Portuguese aro also higher.

Gibbs, Bright, and Co., of Liverpool, we are informed that the quanity of gold dust ascertained to have been brought on freight by the Great Britain Steamer, was 135,000 ounces, worth about 510,0001. The quantity in passengers' hands is estimated by the firm at about 50,0001. worth, as all the passengers had gold in greater or 'es' quantities. Attention has been drawn by our Paris correspon dent to the formation of a new French Railway Company, to be called the Grand Central Railway of France, with a view to construct a variety of impor tant lines. It appears that the company have ob tained a concession for nintymine years of the united lines from Clermont-Ferrand to Mont- LATEST FOREIGN EXCHANGES.

Sotheby and Wilkinson submitted to public auction tke remainder of the valuable collection of framed engraving-s, drawings, , architectural sketches, and paintings of the late eminent Mr. A. W. Pugin. The interest attached to the name of that artist drew together a considerable company. The miscellaneous engravings of Wierix, Sadder, Calla, and other eminent artists of antiquity fetched prices varying between 101. and 11. 15s. The " History of Susannah," by Aldegrever (1555), realised 21. 155., and some portraits of St. Ignatius Loyola, 41. A similar price was realised by two landscapes by Rembrandt ; and a:series of 26 views in Ve nice, by Canaletti, was bought by Mr. Colnaghi for 71. 10* Eleven lots of engravings by . Albert Durer fetched about 441. in all ; his famous " Knight of Death" being knocked down at 71. 15*., and his " Adam and Eve with the Ser pent" at 81. Bs. Some curious engravings of London, before and after the great fire of 1066, fetched fancy prices, vary ing betweed 21. and 41., and the loose engravings in port folios averaged a price of 11. per lot. Some very beautiful water-colour sketches of parish churches in the neighbour hood of Canterbury were knocked down at 11., 21., and 21. 10s.; while some oil paintings by early Italian mas ters fetched bl. , 71. , and 81. Two very largo original paint ings of Albert Durer, of sacred subjects, together, were knocked down for 651. to Mr. Hardman, of Birmingham ; while some triptychs of the early Italian school realised prices fluctuating between 51. and 25/. A " Descent of the Holy Ghost," by Giotto, was bought by Mr. Emery for 461. The total amount reali sed by the sale yesterday amounted to shout 3801. COMMUNICATION WITIL ACSTRALIA.—There has been no Australian mail received by the last overland India add China arrival, although, according to the new contract with the Peninsular and Oriental Company, one should have been received with Australian dates up to the middle of January last. The failure of this Australian was anticipated a fortnight since, and its cause that of the breaking down of the Formosa between Ceylon and Singapore mentioned. It is rumoured that the missing mail must not be expected before June, but this is scarcely credible, especially if the Shanghae steamer has been really substituted for the Formosa. The Peninsular and Oriental Company have effected a communication three times with Australia since last autumn, when they were not bound to do so by contract. The country, there for., will probably not grumble about the recent lailure; still it is most unfortunate, in the present state of Austra lian affair*, and of the ocean mail contracts, that the first nneilfrorn Australia by way of India should have been de- Aged. 105 iiii id 19 le gas ,.

The society is indeed to be congratulated on its purchase of such a site. In the evening a public meeting of the socety wm held at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill, Wee the presidency of Lord Dudley Stuart, when a ballot took place f, allotments on the Hornsey estate. The Lwow was very numerously attended, and a large num ber of additional shares were taken up. Amongst the rs present were Apaley Pellatt, Esq, ; J. N.iholay, Mvi., of Orford-street; Archibald k intrea, E. 1.; J Taylor, Eaq. Altogether the day's proceedings were of I wet satistestory character. st i l 6_ ! a 23i id 821. 10s. Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Stock, not redeemable before sth January, 1894, an arrange ment by which the nation will pay an interest of 21. 17s. 6d. per cent. per annum for 40 years, and will, further, have reduced the capital of its debt at the eau of iat period by 171. 10s. per cent.: Or, 1101. Two-and-a-Half per Cent. Stock, also not redeemable before the sth January, 1894, an offer which gives the holder of the stocks proposed to be redeemed an annual interest of 21 per cent. for 40 years, the nation finding itself saddled at the end of that period with an increase of 10 per cent. in the nominal amount of its debt, an increase, be it marked, exactly equivalent to the nation's saving in interest during the 40 years. Or 1001. Exchequer Bond bearing 21 per cent. annual interest for a few years, not longer than ten, and then bearing 21 per cent. till 1891,with coupons attached, with interest payable to bearer halfyearly, and with the option a redeeming the bonds in 1894 to rest with the government, or with the bondholder, as may be agreed at the time of issue. This ie by far the simplest and most natural arrangement. After the sth January, 1854, the interest on the above-named 3 per cent. stocks proposed to be com pulsorily reduced shall cease, and parties not ac ceding to the government proposal shall be paid off. Holders of Consols or Reduced may also convert their stock on giving notice by the 10th October, 1853, into either of the new stocks or Exchequer Bonds on the same terms. No limit is apparently fixed to the issue of the new stock., but the amount of the new Exchequer Bonds shall not exceed 30 millions sterling. Trustees converting stock are to be indemnified. In all city circles the scheme has occupied atten tion to the exclusion of every other topic, and even of business. The chief serious objection is to the proposed creation of a 21 per cent. stock, involving an addition of 10 per cent to the capital of the debt. This proposal is considered inherently vicious and un sound; for, as will be seen on calculation, the nation will find itself at the endof the 40 years in almost the same position as now, having saved 101. per cent. in dividends and handed over 101. per cent. in stock. The offer of a Three-and-a-Half per Cent. stock issued at 821. 10s. per cent. is regarded with more favour, as it recognises the soundness of the prin ciple so strangely ignored in the proposal censured above, viz. the principle of effecting a diminution of the nominal capital of the debt. Favourable suf frages, however, are chiefly centred in the proposed inane of Exchequer Bonds, bearing a diminished rate of interest, firstly 21, and afterwards 2fr per cent. Indeed this is evidently the strong point of Mr. Gladstone's scheme. The reduction of income to par ties who convert into these bonds would be gradual, and consequently not so strongly felt. It is evident the government intend to discontinue altogether the issue of Exchequer Bills, and these bonds would naturally take their place, by which means alone a considerable amount would be absorbed. Another most important point consists in the fact that throughout the Continent these bonds, with the never impeached guarantee of Greet Britain,would be held to an immense extent, as a medium of investment for capital lying idle. The distrust in continental seen rities of - all kinds is wide-spread; equally wide spread is the confidence in British finance; and by issuing bonds to bearer, with coupons attached, British bonds would be held in every quarter of the world, instead of, as now, only by parties who can travel to London to receive their dividends, or who adopt the expensive plan of giving powers of attorney, and having their money transmitted to them. There can be little doubt the demand for these bonds from all quarters, at home and abroad, would be such that they would rule at a good pre mium; this premium would of itself tempt holders of Consols to convert into the bonds; provided the option were still open to them, and thus a gradual conversion of our Three per Cent. debt into a Two-and-Three-Quarters, and then into a Two-and-a-Half per Cent. stock would be effected, without any violent change, and conse quently in the manner most desirable. Such are the views expressed in the best informed City circles. Whilst, however, the details of the scheme are thought capable of im provement in some points, and with an impression that the scheme is unnecessarily complicated, the attempt of Mr. Gladstone to grapple with the difficulties of this momentous question is viewed with the liveliest in terest and satisfaction. The entire project is re garded as an experiment having for its object the ulterior reduction of the interest upon the whole Three per Cent debt of the nation, and a decidedly favourable influence is exercised from the undeniable proof which it conveys of the prosperous state of the finances. Till the fate of the project shall have been more clearly defined, the position of the several security markets cannot be considered fixed, bu t the tendency is unmistakeable and strongly upwards, Obi. should the measure be carried to a successful issue either on a modification of the present proposals or on some other satisfactory basis, a very remark able appreciation of all sound securities must ulti mately occur. The immediate impulse given to the markets, it may be observed, is in a considerable measure owing to the circumstance that such of the dealers as are oversold, and the 1 . bear" party at large, have been rendered intensely anxious by the government announcement, and have naturally rushed into the market as purchasers, with a view to covering themselves from further and possibly consi derable loss. The business in the English funds has been ex tremely active. On the precise nature of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer's proposals becoming known, Consols opened 1001 to for money, and 1001 to 101 for the 13th, representing a rise of upwards of 1 per cent. since yesterday, and, after receding to 1001 to 1, closed 1001 for money, and 1001 to for time. Following the view taken by us of the relatively in creased value of the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cent. Stock, there was a rise of fully 1 per cent. in this security, which, however, was not fully maintained to the close. The official business report is as fol lows :—Three per Cent. Console, for money, 1001, 1, 1; ditto for account, 1001, 101, 1001. Three per Cent. Reduced, 100, 1, 991. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 1031, 2 , 103, 1,1. Three per Cent. An nuities, 1726, 1001. Long Annuities,lB6o, 6. India Stock, 262. There was no change in the floating debt. Ex chequer Bills, both March and June, are marked 6s. and 10s. prem. ; and India Bonds, 435. to 48s. prem. Foreign stocks have also benefited, but more in tone than price. Mexican reached 281, and closed 271 to 28. Spanish Bonds were firm, and the Cer tificates further improved, leaving off SI to per cent. Greek Bonds were again rather better at 91 . Peruvian Scrip was also higher, reaching 41 prem. Dutch, Brazilian, and Equador Bonds showed an upward tendency, and generally the aspect of this market is improving. The list of sales is annexed : Brazilian Four and-a-Half per Cents. Bonds, 1852, 981, 09. Danish Five per Cents., 105. Dutch Two and44-Half per Cents., 66, 60",; ; ditto, Four per auban, by the coal districts of Brassac and Aubin, and from Bordeaux to Lyons, passing by Periguenx, and by or near St. Etienne. The line is to be di vided into five sections ; the first from Clermont to Lampdes, passing through the coal district of Brassac ; the second from the Lot river to Montau ban, with a branch line towards Roder, as far as Mar cillac ; the third from Bordeaux to Perigneux ; the fourth from Perigucux to Lyons ; and the fifth from Limoges to Agen. By a reference to the map of France it will at once be seen that this line will occupy a most important position. The total line will be 680 miles in length, of which 500 miles are to be made by government under the law of the 11th June, 1812, only three sections remaining to be made by the company. To effect this, subscriptions have been solicited for a capital, in the first instance, of 3,200,0001., which is to be raised in 160,000 shares of 201. each, with a deposit of 21. per share. As it is felt, however, that to solicit public subscription, in view of the limited number of shares available for allotment, would be simply to give rise to a great deal of disappointment, it has been decided not to adopt that course, but to place the shares privately. The subscription list, we understand, is already full. It is not true, however, that the whole amount is to be placed on the London market; the allotment is to be made in Paris as well as London. The arrangements concluded with the government are stated to be of a peculiarly favourable character ; and it is even broadly stated that the concession has been intended as a special reward for the services of the Count de Morey, who is chairman of the company. Double works are to be executed, but only a single line of rail will be laid down—an arrangement which ex plains the comparatively smallness of the capital for a line of such a length. The concession being for 99 years, is the longest ever granted by the French go vernment. The shares have already been quoted at a considerable premium, both in Paris and here ; but as the quotations as yet are scarcely reliable, it would not be strictly proper to report them. Another new French line is the Toulouse and Foix Railway, with a capital of 1,080,000/. (27,000,000 f.), in 54,000 shares of 20!. (or 500 f.) each. The board of directors of this line consists at present entirely of Frenchmen, but an English director is to be ap pointed. The concession of 99 years has been applied for; the plans, sections, and other documents have been deposited; the formal investigations by the go . vernment authorities have been made, and the caution ' money is ready. Responsible contractors, it is stated, have engaged to construct the line for the above sum, and to pay 4 per cent. interest until it is ready for , opening. In the event of the concession not being • granted, the whole of the deposits are to be returned without deduction. The amount of bills drawn by the East India Com pany on their respective Presidencies from the 24th ult. to the ith inst. is as follows : Rate of Exchange. Bengal £38,383 5 9 I 2s. Id. per Company's Madras 3,146 3 3 j rupee. Bombay nil 2s. lid. per ditto. Total £41,529 9 0 All the Australian land and bank shares and mis cellaneous stocks generally were firmer today. There were dealings in the shares of the Flank of British North America at 60; Colonial Bank, 19, 20; Provincial Bank of Ireland, 48 ; East and West India Docks, 165; Southampton Docks, 40, 38; Victoria Do cks (41. paid), 63 ; ditto, new (21. paid), 4t, 3 ; Australian Royal Mail Steam (61. paid), 5; Crystal Palace (51. paid), 6t, t ; Eastern Steam (11. paid), *; General Steam Navigation, 303; Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 84; ditto (251. paid), 453, 46, 1; Royal Mail Steam, 78. British American Land shares closed 67 to 69. Berlin Waterworks shares are quoted 3 to 1 prem.; and Melbourne Docks and Railway to i prem. At the special general meeting of the North British Australasian Loan and Investment Company, held at Aberdeen on the 4th, a motion was laid upon the table for transferring the seat of management of the company from Aberdeen to London, and for altering its title to that of the " North British Australasian CANnany." There was read to the meeting a very satisfactory report by Mr. Beeger, who has charge of the works at Kaw-aw, and who has recently ar rived in this country to take measures for the speedy development of this portion of the property. The meeting expressed an unanimous opinion that new stock should be issued for this purpose, and it was suggested for the consideration of the committee that one share for every two shares at present held should be issued to the shareholders at par. Ano ther general meeting has been called, to be held at Aberdeen, on the 11th instant, for the formal sanc tion of the arraggement proposed. Annexed are the latest quotations of foreign stocks, as received by Mr. Reuter's telegraphic ex press :-Amsterdam, Wednesday : Dutch Four per Cents., 95 13 . 16 ; ditto Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 641.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. THIS DAY. OLD COURT. Bureau Ma. Janis' Eau. At the sitting of the court, Thomas Hackett, who was tried on Thursday for the murder of Eliza Lee, by drown ing her in the Regent's-canal, when the jury were dis charged, after being in deliberation more than five hours, on account of one of them being takes seriously ill, was placed at the bar. Mr. Parry said that, in reference to the charge against the prisoner, taking into consideration what had passed on the previous day, he felt that he was at present utterly un able to go on with the case, or to defend him in a satisfac tory manner, and he had, therefore, to apply for the trial to be postponed to the next session. Mr. Justice Erle said that unless the counsel for the pro- Ecution felt that, upon public ground, the trial ought to proceed, he considered it would be more satisfitetory to all parties that the case should be investigated by an entirely fresh tribunal. Mr. Bodkin said that after this intimation from his lord ship, he should at once consent to the application. The trial was, therefore, postponed until the next session.
