It will be in the recollection of our renders that we pnintetl out that Mr. Gladstone would find his finan cial position extremely embarrassing in the event of war. In the first place he will have to raise the 261 interest on Exchequer Bills ; for it. is absurd to think they will float at an interest of II per cent. per an num, when the Bank rate is 35 tier eent., and money in Lombard-street is worth :1 per cent. Then again, as if to pnwoke further embarrass ment, he is about to reduce the rate on savings banks' deposits to per rent. Now, we do protest, in the name of M successor, against his being subjected to such fearful liabilities as would arise should hostilities occur. lu the language of the Stock Exclomge, the present or future Financial Minister would find hi mme tr a o of the following securities 1 16,000,000 of Exchequer Bills, which would either have to he funded, or the rate of interest raised ; 10,000,000 to be provided for South Sea dissentient, ; ;10,000,000 of savings banks depositors' stock. We beg Mr. flladstone to ponder on his financial position, which is precisely as we have stated it, and WWI is fraught with peril and embarrassment. Mr. filadstone has done wisely in a pplying the Sinking Fund to the extinction of the Exchequer Bills he lots to dispose of, but, after applying the 6410,0110/. surplus in this matter, ho has still about 1,1110,111101. left. of those the public refused to renew in Juno ; and from t h e state of the Exchequer Bill market, which has fallen to a discount, we should say that it is probable an attempt has boon mule to dispose of some of these bills in the market, which is of at very limited extent. The funds, at one period of the week, have been as low as 1171, but the 'Wilk. always buy on a fall, and, after being UN, the price closes 117;, sellers. There is great scarcity of stock, and consequently great abundance of money, in the Stock Exchange, but a considerable demand exists for commercia purposes, the rate being :1 to p in Lombard street. We have no doubt, as we stated last week, that Russia has been withdrawing funds from this country, and that the continued drain of gold to the Continent is chiefly on this account. Thu large amount of corn bought in this market for French amount. will in all probability be resold, as we understand the prospects of harvest in France have considerably improved. French funds come by tklegraph a trifle lower. FORE lON FUNDS. The market in foreign funds has been very limited during the week ; the tone, generally speaking, has befit' heavy. Russian Four-cud-a-half per Cents. continue at Its), ex div., which is looked on as a favourable indication. RAI LWAYS.

We antivipate that the dividends for the half-year railways will be slightly increased; but it must he remembered that all articles consumed by railways have risen, and especially the wages of labour. Nevertheless, if Parliament would devise a plan to stop reckless competition, we have no doubt that railway property %withd become a favourite maul la„ Malik invest:lac:A, and the public safety would be better guaranteed Ileum under the present syst4 in. The increase in the Brighton dividend being enly 1!4. per cent. is not deemed satisfactory. The market in railway shares has been firm, and it may be mentioned that, in consequence of invest ments on the part of the public, the rates of conti nuation on the stock have been very low, and a grel t deal of pawned stock has been paid off. In French lines the shares are so scarce that I-lUth and t pt r share is given for the loan of them. The end 4 f this must be a considerable rise, in the event of petite being maintained. M
