The stock markets are decidedly firm to-day, owing to a belief that the Luxemburg dispute is virtually settled, the continued fineness of the weather, and the drooping tendency of the rates of discount. The amount of business is large, and comprises many transactions to cover recent sales for a fall. The public exhibit an increased desire to buy, but chiefly in first clams securities, such as Cor_aols, Indian government bonds and railways, colonial debentures, Sze. Consols, in which the monthly settlement is now in course of completion, have experienced a fresh rise of per cent., as have also the Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents. Moat of the British railways have advanced, the principal movement being in Metropolitan. As regards foreign bonds, Italian of 1861 are in good demand. The demand for money tc-day is moderate, and the best bills are taken at 21 per cent., or below the Bank miniemni. The Bank directors at their weekly meeting this morning made no alteration in the rate of discount, nor was any expected. In the Stock Exchange short loans on English government securities are offered as low as 1 per cent. Console are now quoted 91} to ; for money, and 91} top for the new account (June 6). The Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents. are called 89; to g, and Exchequer Bills, 20e. to 25e. prem. The India Five per Cent. stock is steady, at 1104 to }. Foreign stocks are inquired fur, at an improve ment. Italian of 1861 have advanced / per cent. ; Spanish Certificates, 4 ; Turkish of 1865, Spanish Passive, and Mexican, &c. Turkish Bonds of 1865 are quoted 29; to; ; Greek, 13; to ; ; Spanish Push'', 204 to ; ; ditto Certificates, 134 to ; ; Italian of 1861, 49; to 3 ; Mexican, 15; to 161.

United States 5-20 bonds have improved per cent., the present price being 74 to Erie Railway shares are also better, at 411 to I ; but Illinois Central have receded f, viz.., to 74 to Anglo-American and Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent. Preference shares are without change, at 18j to 19 and 41 to 5, respectively. . _ It is notified that a second dividend of tn. in the pound will be paid to the creditors of the Birming ham Banking Company between the 13th and 18th inst., both days inclusive. At a meeting of the holders of preference stocks in the Great Eastern Railway Company held yes terday, it was resolved—" That this meeting ap proves the financial plan of the committee (of which Mr. Stewart is chairman), as em bodied in their circulars of the Bth and 30th ultimo, and recommends its adoption by all the preference shareholders, and requests the committee to continue their services. It is announced that the assents to the plan al ready received are 3,484 proprietors, representing 0,331,855/. stock. The general meeting of the proprietors of this undertaking, convened for Mon day next, is postponed. A meeting of the debenture holders of the Lon don, Chatham, and foyer Railway Company is now being held, "to consider the heads of the bill in parliament, to endeavour to proiaote some measure to prevent the further depreciation in the present market value of the debentures (now dimi nished 60 per cent.), and to arrange to meet the expenses of carrying the bill through parliament.'' The debenture holders in the Northern Railway of Buenos Ayres Company (Limited) are informed that the interest due up to the lst of March last on this Company's bonds will be paid on the 13th instant. About 4,0001. in sovereigns from Brazil were sent into the Bank yesterday, while 4,0001. in American eagles waa withdrawn for exportation, making a total of 130,0001. since the date of the last return. The steamer Seine, for Brazil, will take to-day 8,2501. in gold, and 7,5001. in silver. The Manchester advices announce the stoppage of Mr. G. C. Harrison, spinner and manufacturer. of Bacup. Mr. W. Jamieson, cotton spinner and machine maker, of Ashton-under-Lyne, has also called his creditors together, owing to the depres sion in the cotton trade, but it is thought that his debts will eventually be paid in full. The annexed circular has just been issued to the creditors of Overend, Gurney, and Co. (Limited), by Mr. Charles Oppenheim. We differ greatly from Mr. Oppenheim in his view of the equities of this flagrant case, but it must be admitted that the creditors have great reason to feel indebted to him for his consistent and energetic advocacy of their interests : London, May 7, 1867. Gentlemen,—As many of the creditors may not have seen the public announcement of the call of IW. per share, which the Vice-Chancellor Malice has, upon my application, directed the liquidators to make, and as I have had no opportunity of communicating with the creditors since the meeting of the 15th of March last. I think it right now to state, that immediately after that meeting I communicated the resolution passed thereat tothe liquidators, and after a reasonable time had been allowed to elapse, I instructed Messrs. Ashunt, Morris, and Co. the solicitors conducting the case on behalf of the credit ors to take the necessary proceedings to obtain the order of the Vice-Chancellor upon the subject. A summons was accordingly issued for the lath of April, but on that day the solicitors for the defence association appeared and stated they desired to oppose the summons, and asked that it might be adjourned to enable them to file evidence in opposition, and thereupon the matter was directed to stand over until the lid inst., when • further adjourn meet was applied for upon the ground that their investi gation had not been completed, but the creditors' soli citors, under my instructions, pressed for a deci sion, and the summons was accordingly adjourned to be heard before the Vice-Chancellor in person on the following day, when, after hearing all parties for a considerable time, he dinned the liquidators to make the call asked for by me on behalf of the creditors, and that it should be payable on the 25th of June next. No fresh statement of affairs has been issued by the liquidator since their report in February last ; but I believe with the proceeds of the present call there will be sufficient to pay the larger part of the balances still due to the creditors by the end of the present year. The appeals to the House of Lords are still proceeding, and I have, under the advice of counsel, applied to the Judicial Committee for leave to ap pear and argue the case by counsel for the creditors in opposition to these appeals, and I expect to obtain such leave within the next few days, when I shall use every possible effort to get the matter dimmed of, and also to prevent the liquidation being impeded by the pendency of such appeals.—l am, yours obediently.

GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.-( THIS DAY.) A special general meeting of the proprietors wax held at 1 o'clock at the Paddington Station, Sir D. Doom' in the chair, for the consideration, and, if thought fit, the approval of several bills nuw before parliament. The attendance was extremely small compared with the crowded gatherings which took place a few weeks ago. The notice paper commenced with two - bills promoted by or in connexion with the Great Western Company, viz., "An Act for conferring further powers on the Great Western Railway Company in relation to their own under taking and the undertakings of other companies, and for other purposes ;" and " A Bill for traffic and other ar rangements between the Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, the South Devon, and the London and South Western Railway Companies, and other railway companies, and for other purposes, and of which the short title is, 'South West of England Railway Arrangements Act,1867.`" The other bills promoted by other companies, and nine in number,were connected with the Bristol and North Somer set Railway (sale or lease), the Bristol Port and Railway Pier, the Great Western and Bristol and North Somerset Railway, the East Gloucestershire Railway, the Great Western and Bristol and North Somersetakire Railway (new lines), the London and South Western Railway (ad ditional powers), and the Rhymney Railway. The notice of the meeting hav ing been read by the Secretary (Mr. Saunders), before the chairman commenced, Mr. OxxiHa.M said he was a shareholder of the Vale of Meath Railway, and as he did not admit the right of the directors to convert the Vale of Neath shares into 6 per cent. preference stock, as proposed, he should take no part in the proceedings. The C/LILIRMAN said although the list of bills was for midable, it would not be difficult to show that the result would be economical. As regarded the first bill, he said there was an agreement entered with the British and North Somerset Railway Company with respect to a line from Bristol to Radstock. No actual responsibility was incurred under that agree ment except the making of certain lines in the dis trict. That condition had been withdrawn by the consent of the Bristol and North Somerset Com pany, and it was hoped that the lines would not now have to be made. The construction of any portion would depend on the assistance of the landowners who were interested. That company could not have to expend more than 10,0001. on the line to Radstock. There was another proposed expenditure of only 9641. for widening bridges. In another case, through an arrangement with the Dowlais Company the Great Western liability had been reduced from 100,0001. to 50,0001. After men tioning two or three very small additional items of pro outlay, he observed that the general result was a diminution of liability under the bill to the extent of 23,4441. ; adding that the liability would be altogether about 76,0001. instead of 100,0001. The solicitor (Mr. YOUNG) being about to read the heads of the bill, . . . A 811AREHOLDIR protested against any new liability being incurred when the preference stock was unsaleable. (Cheers.) Unless railway proprietors combined to protect themselves their property would be all ruined. (Hear, hear.) He would suggest that all the bills before the meeting should be referred to the Committee of Investi gation. A SHAREHOLDIR, who said he was a member of the in vestigation coirmittee, remarked that they approved of the course now proposed by the directors.

The Doreetehire papers record the death of Mr. Thomas Martin, the prosecutor of John Cross, the labour ing man with a large family of children, who was sentenced to imprisonment for stealing a piece of timber worth 6d. about a twelvemonth since. The recent Papal edict against brigandage has begun to bear fruit. A letter of the Ist of May says : " One brigand has cut off the head of another brigand, ►nd has taken it to the authorities and claimed the reward of 2,300 fr. promised by government. It is the head of • brigand of Sonnino." Advicee from Brazil contain the announcement that the question of slavery had lately occupied the serious attention of the government, and that at the next meet ing of the chambers measures for its gradual extinction will be introduced. Among the most important provi sions will be one declaring all future children of slaves to be free, and subject only to • form of apprenticeship until they reach twenty years of age.
