A REPROOF FRONI DUBLIN.—The London popula tion, which the Tint , s believes to be deficient in egotism as comnared pith Irishmen, may think it hard to take reproof from this side of the water, but we are bound, nevertheless, to reprobate the panic into which they have fallen. The acts of the Fenian. are alarming enough, and ra4l be repeated in new forms, but we can say with Perfect truth that when the Fenian. were most active in Dublin, and when the air was full of Sl 'rrning rumour,, there was a discretion cued even by the leas scrupulous portion of the press here, which does not char,eterise our English contemporaries, many of whom reflect but too faithfully the w ild ag it a ti on of the public mind. When " Greek ire" was found in Dublin, and its idestructive powers ascertained by expen meet ; when a house was actually all but demolished by the explosion of a Fenian store ; when weapons of the most formidable kind were being imported into Ireland by the thousand, with the known purpose of insurrection, there was nothing audible at this side of the water but the t'vd calculations and able suggestions of intrepid men. for blo o deit the hysterics of panic nor a shout the of the criminals. All that appeared on the other side of the water was a supercilious contempt for the perils of our situation, and a hardly concealed sympathy with the obj ec t s, t h ough not with the means, of those who were suppeeed to be taking arms for the destruction of our constitutional safeguards. If the excitement of England is what we me it, under existing circumstances, what would it be if our cam were theirs, and that they found them selves controlled by a sentimental majority separated by the Channel from the dangers of the crisis!—Dublin lereitiag Mail. 4978,710 4643,440 So that while there has only been a small excess in one of the districts, in the aggregate there has been a saving of nearly 36,000 f, on the amount of the parliamentary esti• mate ; in addition to which the purchases have embraced a larger extent of property than was originally included in the parliamentary estimate.—We are, sir, your obedient servants, HENRY N.

At that barrier across the river, numbers of salmon of all sizes, from the smallest grilse to the monarch of the river, weighing between 30Ibs. and 401b5., were leaping and working up the weir, trying all sorts of maineuvres in their frantic but vain efforts to surmount it. It was evident to all who witnessed the movements of the fish that it was impossible in the then low state of the water for them to get over the weir or through either of the passes. Fortunately • fresh came down the river on Sunday night, and the next day the water rose sufficiently to enable the salmon to get over ; and we hope by this time they have arrived at their gowning beds at the head of the river, where only the spawn can be safely deposited. We bear that some vaga bonds have made several attempts during the night time to take thel fish while lying at the foot of the weir, but their attempts have been frustrated by the pollee and officers of the Fishery Board who have kept a close watch on their movements.— Worresiershire Chronicle. i. 7 .1 41 1 Idi 1_ t is_ is . _ 74 7-16 p It l lt II ii,dh idai4i'l 9_ 11 I it obis 7-16 9-1 e i 67 ID id. 11 11 I die 4 Shcs 1 67 id te 11 1 " Lmatl f 1 I II THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 19, 1867. : : Der.

PREFERENCE SHARES. Yidlend, Leicester and Hitchin, 4 per cent., 87i. Chrs o'Clocz. HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK. MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) 8 ''' There is an increased amount of business in the stock markets to-day, especially in railway securities, which have been sold to a large extent, the circular of the Midland directors, with reference to the proposed new issue of capital, still creating general discouragement. It is feared that similar demands will be made upon the shareholders in other lines, and the downward movement has been helped by the announcement, in the returns just issued by several of the principal companies, of a decrease in the traffic, as compared with the corresponding period of 1866. Lanca shire and Yorkshire stock is especially heavy, and has fallen 3 per cent. The reduction in some other stocks amounts to 1 to Caledonian is comparatively steady, there being little disposition to sell it pending the publication of the report of the committee of investigation, which, it is thought, will be forwarded to the shareholders at the end of the present month. Consols are in quired for, and have improved 1-16 to per cent. Foreign bonds exhibit steadiness, the in troduction of the new Portuguese loan having been expected. There is no alteration in the discount market. Advances for a few days on English government securities are still offered in the Stock Exchange at Ito per cent. At a meeting yesterday of the Royal Exchange Assurance Cori...nit ion a dividend of 4 per cent. for the half-year was declared. The directors of the Chartered Mercantile Bank of India, London, and China have declared a din (lend of 3 per cent. (free of income tax), for the half-year ending the 31st inst., payable on the tat January. We are requested by the Secretary of the " Open Stock Exchange (Limited)" to mention that the next sale by auction will not take place till the 7th Jan.
