WEDNESDAY EVENING. The English stock market to day, although at one time rather weaker on speculative sales, has, on the whole, fully maintained the rise of yesterday ; and at the close of business additional confidence was shown on intelligence of a considerable rise on the Paris Boum of tbis day. Although no reliable or official intimation has yet been published, the markets, both on the continent and here, are improving on the wide spread impression that the Eastern difficulty will prove susceptible of pacific arrangement. Reliable news from St. Petersburg, however, is still looked for with great interest, as the apptehenaions of many parties are far from ally/ed. The prevalent quotation of Consols was 98: to for money and the 11th August, although at one time the price had receded to 981 to 1. At a quarter past four the quotation was 981- buyers, but a few minutes later there were again sellers at that figure. The house was open till half-past four, owing to this being "pay day" in the Consol market. The official business report embraces:—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 981, 3, 2 4 ; ditto for account, 981, 1 ; Three per Cent. Ite;l 4 need, 991, 99 ; Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents., 1011, 1,5, 4; Long Annuities, 1860, 5 13-16; ditto 30 years, 1860, 54; South Sea Stock, 1131; Bank Stock, 229, 228. Exchequer Bills ruled at Is. die. to 2s. prem. The foreign bond market generally shows firm ness. Spanish and Mexican were both a shade better, and there was an improvement in Dutch, following the movement reported from Amsterdam. In Venezuela Bonds, on the other hand, sales are marked at a decline, consequent upon the late intel ligence of revolutionary disturbances in that State. At 4 o'clock, Mexican Bonds were quoted 261 to 27; Peruvian Deferred, 38 to 60; ditto Four and-a-Half per Cent. Scrip, 2 to 1 dis.; Granada Active, 21 to 22; ditto Deferred, 9 to 91; Spanish Deterred Threes, 221 to 23 ; the Certificates, 51 to 6 per cent. Bargains fare thus recorded: Austrian Five per Cent. Bonds, 1832, 971 ex div. ; ditto, old Five per Cents., 87 (exchange 101 per £). Brazilian Old Five per Cents., 1011; ditto Small, 1001 ; ditto Fonr-and-a-Half per Cents., 1832, 991. Danish Five per Cents., 1061. Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents., 641, . 1 , 4 ; ditto Four per Cent. Certificates, 971, 1, ; ditto for account, 29th July, 971. Mexican Three per Cents., 27, 261, 1. Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 831. Portu guese Five per Cents., Converted, 1841, 45; ditto ex all overdue coupons, 43 ; ditto, Four per Cent. Small Bonds, 421. Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1001. Sardinian Five per Cents., 941, 93k. Spanish New Deferred Three per Cents., 23. Vene zuelan Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 37. The arrival was announced to-day of the Alecto, from Geelong, which port she left on the 2nd March. This vessel has on board 12,032 ounces of gold, worth 48,0001. and upwards. The demand for gold for the continent this week has been scarcely so active as last week, but the shipments still continuo heavy, and the supplies of gold from Australia are quickly bought up for re mittance. —...--. We understand that an amalgamation of the Up per India Railway Company with the East Indian Railway Company is desired by the authorities„ and about to take place. We have also reason to'believe that this arrangement will be carried out on an equitable footing as far as the interests of the share holders in both companies may be affected. In the construction of the amalgamated board due regard, it is stated, will be had to the claims of the more prominent members of the existing boards,especially of those gentlemen possessing the confidence of the authorities and the public from theirlocal knowledge of India. In a company having so vast a field for its labours, with a capital of 8,000,0001. or 9,000,0001. sterling, destined to supply the means of transit to the most important and fertile provinces in India, with a population of some seventy millions of souls, an energetic and efficient supervision is essentie. We understand the whole of the capital of the Upper India Railway Company is proposed to be included in this arrangement, and, in that case, will of course come in for a guarantee of interest frem the India House. As we have before hinted, however, we cannot help regarding an arrangement of this kind as a great mistake, as it will introduce a most injurious monopoly in Upper India. The line which will thus be made over to one immense amalgamated com pany will be nearly 1,600 miles in length. It is very properly asked, why not confine the East Indian Railway Company to the limits of its present conces gen, and trust to the enterprise of new companies for the extension of the railway system through Upper India? Again, vast and important lines of railway will, in course of time, be required, es off shoots of the trunk line, and if these are also made over to the Grand Trunk Company, the mono poly will be still more injurious. It is certain that the negotiations on this important subject require to be narrowly watched on behalf of the public. In Mark-lane to-day the supply of English corn was small, and that of foreign moderate. The arri vals of floating cargoes off the coast, however, are large. The trade to-day was slow, but Monday's prices were firmly maintained. At Ilull wheat has advanced 2s. per quarter. A meeting of the Australian Agricultural Com pany was held to-day (and will be found reported in another column), but the proceedings disclosed few points of novelty. Reference was made to the ap proaching departure, in the Vimeira, of a celebrated German mineralogist. to report on the mineral re sources of the Company's property. The sales of coal, it appears, have largely increased; and, with regard to the clip of wool, it was stated that the receipts would not be less than usual, notwithstand ing the interruption to this branch of the company's operations caused by the scarcity of labour. At the half-yearly meeting of the London and Westminster Bank proprietary, held to-day, the net profits of the half-year were stated at 34,325/., out of which was declared a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum upon the paid-up capital of 1,000,0001. A further sum of 24,521. remains to be added to the surplus fund, which is consequently raised to 133,6891. Land shares today were again generally firmer. Australian Agricultural advanced to 37 to 38. Peel River closed 2 to 21 prem., and South Australian Land 41 to 42. The satisfactory accounts from Aus tralia have caused a renewed inquiry for Australian Bank shares, which are generally firmer. Union of Australia were especially good. Letters from Galatz of the 7th inst. refer to the crossing of the I'ruth by the Russian troops, and mention the issuing by Prince Gortchakoff of a " very conciliator proclamation" to the inhabitants of Moldavia and Wallachia, whether commercial or agricultural, enjoining them to continue their pur suits without fear of molestation. The document has already appeared in the Express. A notice had been issued from the Russian consulate, advising the public of a fixed tariff being established at Sulina for lightening vessels at the Bar. Its pur port is as follows :—That, during the months of May, June, July, and August, the rate will be 14 pares per kilo of Constantinople, and 2 kopeks per last, or, in round figures, about 6d. per imperial quarter ; during tho months of September, October, March, and April, 21 paras and 3 kopeks, or about 9d. per quarter; and during November, December, January, and February, from 28 to 35 pares, and from 4 to 5 kopeks, equal to Is. and Is. 3d. per quarter. The stock of wheat was light, but that of Indian corn heavy, with little demand for either, the great dearth of vessels, and the uncertain denouement of the present political difficulty having paralysed trade. Galatz wheat was quoted 225. to 235. per quarter, and Gulatz Indian corn, 12s. 9d. per quarter, f. o. h. In freigh's, three or four vessels had bees given off at 17s. 9d., IN., and 18s. 6d. per quarter; but the latter rate had just been refused for a small first-class English ves sel, the only one is port disengaged. At the time 'of writing, the water on the Bar at &Ilium was rising, and was then 9 to 91 feet in depth.
