Great Westerns are also better now that the directors have over come the opposition to their policy, and the resources of the undertaking can be freely developed. Business, though not very active, is increasing, particularly on country account. Foreign Securities are better, the principal improvement having been in Russian and Turkish stocks. The Joint-stock Bank, Dock, Mining, and Miscellaneous have been steady. with in some cases a tendency to mode rate improvement. The creditors of Mr. G. Sieben, general merchant, have, by a small majority, agreed to accept a composition of 10s. in the pound, payable at long intervals. The Southampton Dock Company will divide at the rate of four per cent. per annum, with a surplus of 1,160/. The Eastern Steam Navigation Company expect to launch their great ship before the next half•yearly meeting. The details of the concession of the great network of railway to be constructed in Russia have been published. The whole is to be finished in ten years, at an outlay of 45,000,0001. sterling. ehis will cause a constant flood of Russian securities to depreciate the original issues. The caution money of 600,0001. for the first set of lines, which runs from St. Petersburg to Vilna, or Kovno, must be deposited either in silver or in Russian stock during the present month. This may possi'dy assist in keeping up the price of silver. The French subscriptions may be deposited in French Rentes ; hence, perhaps, the rise in those securities for the last day or two. The Board of Trade returns for the month and the year ending December, 1850, were issued yesterday. The declared value of the exports from the United Kingdom was 115,890,857/., being 20,20%772/. in excess of those of 1555. It is now admitted that though our trade last year was unpreeedentedly great, it was not profitable in propor tion to its extent—a fact which deteriorates the satisfaction which these tables would otherwise produce. Mr. Cardwell has been appointed chairman of the select committee upon the Bank Charter Act. The California Water Company, the object of which is to supply water to the gold•seekers in the most auriferous district, is a very promising undertaking, and, from the reports and documents which have been shown to us, it appears to be well worthy the attention of English capitalists. The Trade Reports of the week are for the most part rather improving in character. BRITISH FM OFFICIAL NDS. - .L QUI Mond. Closing Prices. r OTAT lONS. Toted. Wed.
