Some positive information respecting the result of Lord Cowley's mis sion is mod anxiously looked for ; and meanwhile business in the Stock Exchange is very languid. English railway shares are rather fiat, but French and Lombardo-Venetian have ex perienord a partial recovery. . - Consols are quoted 96, " buyers," for money, and 96 1.16 to i for the 7th of April. The Indian Four per Cent. Debentures have been dealt in at 991; India Binds, at 19s. premium; and Exchequer Bills, June, at 35r. to 38s. prem. . . The foreign stock market is very quiet. The Old Turkish Six per. Cents. are supported at 921 to 931, but the New Loan has re ceded to 79 to 1 ex div. ; Russian bonds are inquired for, whilst Anglo-Pern vian Fonr.and-a-Half per Cents. are dull. Sales are recorded as follows :—Brazilian Four and-a-Half per Cents., 1838, 941; Dutch Two-and-10161f per Cents., 83 (exchange 126.) ; I ditto Four per Cent. Certifs., 1001 ; Peruvian Four and-a-Half per Cents., for account, 911, ex div. ; Russian Five per Cents., 111, ex div.; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 101, 1001, 100} ; Spanish New Deferred Three per Cents., for account 301; Turkish Six per Cents., 1834, for account, 921; ditto Six per Cents., 1868, for account, 791, 791 ex div. The usual telegrams from the Paris Bourse of this day have not yet come forward. in the discount market the demand is increasing, whilst the supply of money, owing partly to the large accumulation of Government deposits in the Bank, has diminished. The lowest rates for choice bills yesterday were 2i to 2j per cent. At the Bank the applications were more numerous than on Thurs day, but, thus far, the dealers have been enabled to dispense with assistance from that establishment. At Vienna on Thursday a considerable rise took place io the Austrian funds, but at Frankfort and Amsterdam there was a fall, About 20,0001. in gold was yesterday withdrawn from the Bank for exportation, probably in payment for silver. The fortnightly settlement in shares and foreign stocks will commence on Monday (" continuation del"), and terminate on Wednesday. It is stated that the City of Paris are endeavour ing to negotiate a loan of five or iix millions sterling in this market The money is said to be wanted for works of improvement. The security is the revenues of the municipality, which will be largely increased by the extension of the City beyond the present oetroi boundary. The steamer Lebanon has arrived from New York with 86,0001. in specie. A farther sum of about 80,0001. in silver arrived in the Thames on Thursday from Boulogne and Ant werp, and is doubtless included in the freight list of the outgoing Bombay steamer. The fall of about 7 per cent. which took place in the exchange on Austria between Friday and Tues day last was followed yesterday afternoon by a rise of 2 to 3 per cent., owing to renewed distrust. Bills on Vienna were quoted on Tuesday 10.80 to 11, and yesterday afternoon 11.10 to 20. Paper on Holland was inquired tor, but little alteration occurred in the terms, which were quoted u follows: Amsterdam three months, 11.17 t to t ; ditto, short, 11.16 t to I; Botardem, three matha, 11.171 to t Aswan, these mossio, 26.324 to 6 ; Hamburg, marks beam, three months, 1/1.61 to 6; Par t, three days light, 26.71 t 1121; ditto, three months, 26.22 t to 6 ; Franklin:- ca-tho.MaMe, three months, 1171 to 116; Petersburg, per rouble, three maths, 36 4 to 1; Vienna, it go., three months, 11.10 to 20; Trieste, ditto, three mouths, 11.20 to 30; Madrid, three mouths, 491 to I ; Culls, three imam llit to 1; Leghorn, arm months, 20.70 to 80; Caos, three mouths, 26.471 to 621; KaPt i lsz maths, 60 to 1; P alma three mouths, 120 to t ; three asouthe, 120 to t ; !Mom 80 days, 62} to I; Oporto. 90 ears, 621 to 631. The prospectus of the Northfleet Docks and Lon don Quays Company (Limited) is issued, with a proposed capital of 1,600,0001. (subject to increase to 2,000,0001.), in shares of 201. each. It is proposed to construct large docks at Nortbfleet, where an area of 166 scree has been secured, and where it is con tended that the chalk formation affords peculiar facilities for the construction and maintenance of the works. Both wet and dry docks, adapted to vessels of the largest dimensions, are to be formed, and the former are to be perfectly accessible at every state of the tide. As regards railway communication it is mentioned that " the docks will be connected with the City by the London, Tilbury, and Southend line, and also with the North London Rail way, on which now converge the great trunk lines from the north and west ;" and that I " A branch less than half a mile in length, and for which the South Eastern Railway Company have expeessed their readiness to give every facility, will connect the proposed docks with the North Kent line, thus affording another oommunioation through the South Eastern and South Western Railways, and the various lines in connexion with them, with all the manufacturing districts of the kingdom." The docks at Northfleet are to be combined with several quays in Lower Thames-street, it being proposed to main tain a constant communication. Such are the ad vantages set forth by the promoters, who have secured a number of respectable names for the direo- ' tion. The engineer is Sir Charles Fox. The directors of the Agra and United Service Bank have declared a dividend at the rate of ten per cent. per annum, for the half-year to 31st December last, with a bonus of a pound per share, making a total distribution of profits of twelve per cent. for the put year. The directors of the lonian Bank have declared a dividend for the half-year ending 31st Dec., at the rate of five per cent per annum.
