MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. QUARTER TO THREE:- The panic feeling in the City continues,' and further intelligence from the Continent is awaited With the most intense anxiety. The underwriters at Lloyd's are now demanding war risks for premiums of insurance on vessels to and from the Mediterranean and elsewhere. The Funds, however, are a shade firmer, Coniols being 92 to for money and account. Foreign Stocks and Railway Shares are also less depressed, but after such an extensive fall symptoms of partial reaction must of course be anticipated. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. In the general discount market there is still an active inquiry for accommodation, which, together with the efflux of gold from the Bank, supports the quotations charged for negotiating commercial bills. The tendency is evidently in an upward direction, and it is expected that theßank directors will soon announce an advance in the minimum to 3 per cent. The quantity of gold lately withdrawn has caused an important reduction in the bullion, although the last return gave the total at £18,051,375. Since then, however, a further diminution has taken place. As the shipments of gold to the continent, and of silver to the East, are still conducted on an extensive scale, it is concluded that the authorities will deem it prudent to modify the existing regu- lations. The reactionary tendency in the money market has increased the depression which has been occasioned at the Stock Exchange by the alarming advices from the continent. • A further sum of £40,000 was withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday for exportation to the continent, and about £140,000 of the £350,000 American gold has been taken for the same purpose. -In the Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon a further slight advance was recorded in the rates on Austria. The bar silver brought by the last Indian steamer has been disposed of at ss. 1 d. per oz., showing a decline of 10. compared with the price realised by the preceding packet. Letters from Liverpool report that the Cotton Market yesterday closed very heavily, and prices remained without any material alteration. The sales were only 3,000 bales. In Railway Shares a fair amount of business was recorded, and quota tions were firmer. A meeting of the Belgian Eastern Junction Railway Company took place to-day. The report was on the whole satisfactory, and showed a slight improvement in the traffic of the year 1858 over that of 1857. The net balance of revenue for the year was £l,lBO 16s. The report was adopted. At the meeting of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company held to-day, Capt. Mangles, M.P., in the chair, a report was read, from which it appeared that an increase had taken place on the year operations of £7,647 18s. 3d. The balance avail able for . distribution for the half-year was £36,683 18s. 9d., out of which the directors recom mend that the ordinary dividend of £2 per shale be declared free of income tax: The report was adopted. There was a meeting of the East India Coal Company to-day, Mr. Haymdn in the chair, at Which the variots resolutions passed at the previous Meeting for effecting improved clauses in the deed of settlement were •duly confirmed; , after which the meeting adjourned. Intense excitement has been experienced at the Stock Exchange to-day. The alliance between Russia and France has created general astonish ment, and the markets for all descriptions of stock are paralysed. Serious losses have been sustained, especially in Turkish Securities and Lombardo- Venetian Railway Shares. No less than four failures have been already declared, and these include members who have hitherto held a highly respectable position in the " _house." It , is many years since a panic of the same violence was witnessed, and it is expected to continue, as the position of affairs abroad is now most critical. Consols, after being 941, closed yes{ terday afternoon at 931 a ; they have been dealt in to-day at 91t A , and frequent fluctuation has sincq taken place. The latest quotation is 911 92 for money and account. The New Threes have declined to 901 911-, and the Reduced Annuities to 901 ; Exchequer Bills are flat at 30s. to 355. premium. . India New Loan Scrip is marked 901- to 94, show ing a discount of 43- to 31 per cent. A very moderate business is recorded in Foreign Securities, and prices in most instances show d further considerable decline, Turkish 6 per Cents. being 70 to 75 ; ditto New, 60 to 65 ; Austrian 5 . per Cents. have receded 18 per cent., viz., to 45 ; Spanish Deferred to 26 and 27; Mexican, to 174 181; Russian 41 per Cents. to 94 ; and Sardinian 671; Brazilian 41 per Cents. are rather firmer at 93 ; and Venezuelan Deferred at 16. A further important decline has taken place in the Railway Share Market to-day. The heaviness in the Consol Market, with the preparations for the settlement of the half-monthly account, having caused a depreciation of about 2 to 3 per cent. on most of the principal lines. London and Blackwall have receded £1 ; Eastern Counties, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and North Eastern (Berwick), £1 10s. ; North Eastern (York), £2 ; Great Western, North Western, and South Eastern, £2 155.; Caledonians, £3 ; and Micllancl . and . North British, £3 10s. The Foreign lines were neglected, with the excep tion of Lombardo-Venetian, which have receded about 2to 3 per cent. The . . Old Shares are dealt in at 5 to 51 and.sl„ and the New at 41, 5, and 51. In the Colonial Market the dealings were limited, but prices finally sympathised with the downward movement in the English market. Great Western of Canada receded 10s. ; Grand Trunk of= Canada, 10s. to 15s. ; and East Indian, £2 to £3. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have been at almost nominal rates ; the few bargains reported, however, are at considerably reduced rates. London Chartered of Australia brought 21 ; London Joint Stock, 31.1-.; New South Wales, 471 ; and Atlantis Telegraph were dealt in at 200. PRICES OF FOREIGN FUNDS AT ONE O'CLOCK. 3 Per Cent.

All per sons and corporations who, in. reliance on any instrument purporting to be a confirmation granted under the Con nrmation. and Probate Act, 1858 ; and all persons and cor porations who, in reliance upon any such instrument , sealed under the authority of the Act with the seal of the Principal Court of Probate in England, or of the Court of Probate in Dublin, &e., have made payment, or make or permit any payment on such confirmation, probate, or letters of administration, are to be indemnified and pro tected in so doing, notwithstanding any defect or circum stance whatsoever affecting. the validity of such confirma tion, probate. or letters of administration. PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the shortexchange on London is 25.071 Per £1 sterhng. On comparing these rates with the Eng lish Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold s it appears that gold is nearly 4-10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the Price of gold is 422 f per mark, and the short exchange on London - is 13.3 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is therefore about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of ex change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 1091 10 per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the ex:- change is slighly in favour of England ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of inte rest, the present rate leaves a trifling profit on the impor • tatiou of gold from the 'United States.

He now repudiates the contract and abatement on the ground that he was only informed that tho land tax was MI; whereas it turned out that the land-tiii was £l3, being a land-tax at the rate of 2s. Bd. per pound on the value of the estate. Plaintiff filed his bill for specific performance of tho con tract, and alleged that his estate was sold by his solicitors, Messrs. Hurley and Calloway, under the.express condition that the estate was subject to land' tax; and that Mr.,Cal loway expressly informed him that he did net know the anrount before the contract was signed. The Maker of the Rolls was satisfied, upon looking at the evidence produced, that the defendant was informed that ,the estate - in question was gold to him subject to payment . of the land tax, and that the plaintiff's ag-ents gave him all the information respecting the' l an d tax that they had themselves: His Honour decreed specific performance against the defendant, with costs.

Abraham Stone, servant to Mr. Richard Dear, the land lord of the Fir Tree, stated that the ,prisoner came to the house yesterday afternoon between three and four o'clock, and called for a pint of beer, which he drank and left. Soon afterwards he missed a pint penter pot, and suspecting the prisoner, went after him, and overtook him about 100 yards from the house. Ayoung man took the prisoner's hat off, and a pint pot fell-from it on to the ground. He said to the prisoner, " You have taken that pot fromstion our house," to which he made no reply. The pot m que. was not the one in-which the prisoner's beer was.served,ibut was on the table -beside him. The. prisoner, in defence, said he was very drunk, and did not know what he was about when he took the pot. Stone said the prisoner was certainly the worse for liquor, and Gascoigne, a police-constable, 98 H, said the prisoner told him he did not-know he had the pot in his hat when the hat waspulled off his head. -Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner had passed• through his hands more than once before, but he could. not say- he was ever convicted of felony.

This morning the general election was inaurarated in Marylebone by the nomination of two fit and proper persons to represent the borough in the Commons House of Par liament. The only candidates for the honour, up to .an early' hour this morning, were the two late mem bers, Sir B. Hall, and Mr. Edwin James, Q.C.; but a few. minutes before the commencement of the proceedings notice was given to Mr. Tamplin, the returning officer, that it was intended to propose the Right Hon. Lord Stanley as a third candidate. The fact of an opposition being offered to the return of the late members gave an excitement to the proceedings which other wise would have passed off in the usually quiet way unopposed elections in the metropolis generally do. The hustings were erected, as, usual, in Park-crescent, Regent's -park, and at eleven o'clock the writ commanding the election having been read, I Mr. G. TAMPLIN, the returning officer, came forward to open the proceedings. He said the electors of Marylebone were assembled that morning for the purposb of electing two • members to a Parliament which would have to perform duties as great and important as ever devolved upon any of its predecessors. The English were always the lovers of fair play, and he called upon the assemblage to give a fair and impartial hearing to every gentleman who addressed them, because if they did hot hear them they could by no possibility answer them, and the consequence would be a loss of half the fun. (Laughter.) Re then called forward the proposer of Sir B. Hall, Mr. Dicxs*sos, of Paddington who said it afforded him much pleasuie to propose so distinguished a gentleman as - Sir B. Hall as a tit and proper person to repreSent the borbugh of Marylebone in Parliament. ' Sir Henjamin had so long represented the borough, and had become so iden tified with it, that Co Separate him from it would be 'like parting man and wife. (Laughter and cheers.) He was of the people. He was with the people, and any attempt to displace lum could do no honour to any man however good he might be—(cheers)—and nothing but miserable defeat could follow such an attempt. (Cheers.) It"h ob jected to 13. Hall - that he was a place-hunter; 'but he knew well -that when • Sir B. Hall was so, he was always the'right man in the right place; and in .his place, what ever it was, had done his best - for the interests of the borough. {Cheers.) He considered _Sir • Benjatnin any thing but q place hunter for his own interests ; and he looked upon the, circumstance of the right hon. baronet having filled office as an *intuit to the electoni of Maryle bone that they had chosen a representative With sufficient intellect to fit him to hold a place. (Loud cheers.) He concluded by proposing Sir B. Halt as a fit and proper per son to represent the borough oriNtarylebone in the Com mons, House of Parliathent. (Cheers ) STogicroN, in seconding the nomination, said it would be impossible to find a roan more eminently calculated to thschargo the important trust of representing Maryle bone in Parliament than Sir B, Hall. (Loud cheers.) Sir - J. Diller said he again had the honour of proposing to the elect Ors of Marylebone his friend Mr. Edwin' ames as a candidate for their suffrages. - (Cheers.) He consi dered it a proud distinction that Marylebone would be the first place to send two such eminent men to the new Reform Parhainent. (Cheers.) They would not go there to sup port a Government, but they would go there to say that the people were determined to have a larger and more substan tial measure of Parliamentary reform than was prepared by ,her Majesty's Gevernment. (Cheers.) The present Government had been' objected to on many grounds, but there was one on which the Whig officials would do well to imitate, that was courtesy. (Cheers.) [Here a handsome bouquet was handed to Mr. Edwin James from some parties on the right hand side of the crowd, amidst loud cheers, which were repeated again and again as the learned gentleman took off his hat and bowed.] He -thought it a great hardship that at . the eleventh hour Sir B. Hall and Mr. James should be put to the expense'and annoyance, of a poll by parties proposing candidates without their sanction. (Cheers.) Mr. Ross_said it afforded him much pleasure to second the nomination of Mr. James. (Cheers.) He had seen in the newspaper; this morning, an advertisement asking ten gentlemen to come forward with £lOO each, for the purpose of nominating Lord Stan/by. (Cries'of a oh, oh.") He sup posed that, as that nobleman was to be proposed, the money had been got=---(laughter).—but it was only another exempli fication of thvold proverb, thattaols and their money soon part. (Lousl_lauglater.) He felt cerS.ain the electors of Marylebone werehiatisfied with their late representatives, and also that it was impossible __obtqin_better ones, for they were as gird pair qs ever ran in a curricle. Whatever advan tage tine might'have in bulk—(laughter)—the other had irilefght. '(Loud laughter and cheers.) - 'r• • HAM then came •forward amidst great uproar to niiminate Lord Stanley. as.a fit and 'proper person to repre sent Marylebone in Parliament. Amidst much laughter he proceeded to address,,the electors when he -was asked. whether Lord Stanley had given his sariatibn to his name b - eing:used.',:, Mr. Haig answered lit the negative, and • the response was loud yells and hisses: * Mr. PnxiikAta seconded the.nomination of Lord Stanley ; although he.had great admiration for the talents of Mr. Edw4 James.: • - Mr, TAMFLIN then asked wh6ther any other peraon had a candidate to propose. Acceiiing no answer . , he called upon Nir 13:rlia to-address the assemblage. - Sir:B. HALL said hevaine before them that day to ask for a renewal of the trust • K hick, for: nearly 25 'years, had been confided to his care. (Cheers:) He had dunng the whole of: that period titideavouredto do hisduty, and he felt that he had done nothing that shOuld stand in the way of his re-eleetion. He felt certain Lord Stanley' was' unacquainted with the liherti that had been takeikwith his name s and he thought itextremeli. hard that hinaSelfand his hon. colleague Should bumf to the annoyance of a contest by persons proposing candidates without even their knowledge and consent. He had no doubt of re-election, and he could not but regret that their harmony had been marred by two over jealous ad. mireti of Leid Stanley. (Cheers.) E. JAMES Said he appeared before the electors that morning to . solicit the renewal of their confidence. The gentleman who had seconded the nomination of Lord Stan ley said he had admired him (Mr. James) because he had done his ditty in Parliainent—(hear, hear)—aud this was the. Way he rewarded him. (Cheers, and cries of " Your all right,") Ile did not for a moment believe that-Lord Stan ley was in any way connected with'the movement that had been made in his favour, and he was sure that nobleman wpuld as much regret the circumstance as anyamongst them. He, liowever, supposed the gentlemen had got their £9OO advertised for, and it was their duty to spend it; but he was sure the result would be only mortification and defeat. His (Mr. James), opinions with respect to domestic matters were se well, known to the electors that ho would not detain ' them with the slightest allusion to them ; bat with respect to_his, opinions on foreign affairs, he thought it was his duty to._ make a 'few observations as to what ho thought ought to be the policy of England in the present crisis. The learned gentleman then at some ler, Oh repeated his views, with respect to the position of foreign affairs, and said the safest and surest course England could take in the pre sent momentous crisis was that of non -interference. (Cheers.) The hon. and learned gentleman concluded his speech by expressing lifs full confidence that at the elose of the poll totmarrow he should be again in the proud position of one otthe , representatives of the borough of Maryleborie in Parliament. .Mr, YAmi)I„IN then called for a show for a show of hands for each of the candidates. For Sir B. Hall and Mr. James. a foiest of hands was held up ; . while for Lord Stanley only pile individual in the crowd, and his nomi nator.and seconder, held up theirs. YAMPLIN said that the show of hands were in faVour of Sir ,B. Hall, and Mr. James; upon. which Mr. Haig demanded a poll for Lord Stanley. , The.polt will open to-morrow morning at eight o'clock, and finally des° at four in the afternoon.

OF A CORONER'S OFFlCER.—Yesterda3 - considerable.sensation was created in the parish of Edmon ton, in. consequence of the suicide of Mr.. Richaid Brand, who was carrying on business as a carpenter, and also coroner's officer for the parish of Edmonton, in the Duchy of Lancaster. It appears that the deceased was very cheer ful, and never showed the slightest tendency to suicide On one of the workmen entering his workshop, he found him hanging by a sash line to a beam in his workshop. He must have accomplished the act by getting upon his "work-bench,. and throwing himself- eff. No cause can be assigned for the rash act, as his circumstances were very good, having several houses at Edmonton, and other pro perty in Hertfordshire. The deceased was highly respected ur the neighbourhood, and the poor have lost a kind and benevolent benefactor. Information has been sent to the coroner, but no day is yet named for the inquest. =FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE , ORWELL.—A few weeks since Nee recorded a sad accident on the river Orwell, by the . capsizing of a sailing skiff, and the loss of three Rtes.- • We have now to record a similar accident, and the loss oftwo lives On Saturday James Girling, a Trinity pilot,• with 'his son, was statiDned on board the pilot cutter • lying just at the mouth of• the Orwell, about a mile from Harwich pier, and during the morning a Welsh schooner entered the river. Girling and his son (who was apprenticed to him as a pilot) went on board, and piloted her uras far 'as the second pilot boat, which lies at Down hani Beach, three miles from Ipswich, where another pilot went on board, and Girling and his son started off for their station with' their skiff, with sails set. The wind was very puffy; and squally. They were seen sailing past Tin Mill by another pilot 'on board a yacht, who noticed that Girling was steenng with an oar instead of •a rudder, the latter, it is supposed, having become disabled. The Atlanta steam packet was • running down to Harwich about one o'clock, and when near Foshan .bottom, the mate, George Bacon, saw what he thought were the heads of two persons above water. The steamer was' at once stopped, the boat launched, and two men pulled over to the spot, where they picked up a pilot cloth jacket,' a sou-wester, a rudder, a pair of oars, a boat scoop, and one or two other articles.. These' were immediately identified as belonging th•Girling and his scirf. • Nothirrg was seen of either the boat or the men, and on the 'steamer calli n g at the lower pilot boat, it was found that nothing bad been seen of the •Girlingi ; and there is no` doubt the boat' was capsized by - a sudden squall when about two miles and a half from Harwich, and the unfor • tn.-nate-father and son were drowned.--Essex Herald. FATAL OCCURRENCE AT A PRIZE-FIGHT.—On Monday afternoon the magistrates at' Rochester were occu pied a 'considerable time in investigating a charge preferred ao'ainst. John Robin son, a shipwright; employed in Ch a th am Dockyard, Of having killed another shipwright, named in a fight which took pl ace on William Moore Bensley, Chatfiam-lines on the previous Saturday evening. From the evidence 'of the witnesses examined in support of the prosecution, it appeared that the prisoner and deceased, to gether'with'a number of other shirivirights, Were drinking at a pUblic-liause in Brampton during the whole of the g all'the bein very after n4on And • evening of Saturday, P much intoxicated. An orderly of the Medical Staff Corps, wko wits in the house, challenged the prisoner to 'fight for 5s a .'side which he accepted, the stales bein'g deposited in hid hands. The parties then adjourned to Chatham-lines, and cbinmeneed fighting in the , trenches near the- Sally.: port. "After — several rounds the ptisoner gave in, when deeeithed handed the stakes to the medical staff man. On this the prigoner 'became very violent, and wanted to fight deceased, who wa s d escr ibed by the witnesses as being dory dr unk, and " like a madman." KnotMr fight then commence d 'prisoner and deceased closing, and' both f a lli ng h eav il y to the ground, the-prisoner being' tinder. In falling, deceased ]struck his forehead with gfeardiolent+ against the ground, on which his head was obserthd to f. 4.11 forward, and after loving three groans, he eipired witlidut uttering a word. Mr. Weeks, a surgeon who tras prbtnptly in attendance, made an examination of tlie - deeeased,'and discovered that did neck had been dislo cated•by thd fall, which was sufficient to account for death.

(Opinions of the French _Press.) . . ..,-- ThA` CoMtitutionnel continues to denounce the conduct of Austria " The present position has at least the merit of being clear and well defined. But the light arrived 'so - Suddenly for certain partisans of Austnlt, for those who had viiunted , her pacific dispositions, that th ey no longer knot' how to I explain passing events. The journals representing the English. Cabinet, for instance, cannot believe la, such a ' crime' on the part of Austria. Th ere an error' they' said. ' The Cabinet o f V ienna did not yet Lbw of the adhesion of Piedm'ont to the prin ciple of • a • general distlrmament when it summoned - that - State to disarm.' But this hypothesis 'i s no longer to be admitted. It is now clearly proved. that Aus tria had received official notice of the adhesion of Sardinia at the moment she had. addressed her urtimaturn. This ultimatum vvas already resolved on, its terms were:' - 'd rawu up, while thO'Cabinet of Vienna accepted the proposal of a Congress. The day when - the Tory Ministry spok e so loftily of Austria's honour, Archduke Albert presented this document of duplicity and violence at Berlin, and 'proposed to the Prince Regent that he should be an accomplice to it. The reply of the Regent was such as might have been ex pected; it does honour to Prussia and to the real Geimany which she now represents. Not only has the Cabinet of Ber lin rejected the proposal of Austria but it hasprotested against it in common with all Europe.. This great act, which condemns the last step of Austria, condemns for the same reason all her proceedings since the mission of Lord Cowley. It is now a matter of history that the Vienna Cabinet has, in the present crisis, never been sincere towards'Etirope. It was not sincere :when it accepted the prineiplo of a European Congress, nor when it. demanded a genera dia -1 armament before the Congress. Austria has disakowed engagementi and promises. That her interest and ambition should push her to war may be understood by her delenders, but that' she should have descended to hypocritiCal denials, in order to arrive at a violent settlement, cannot be par doned even by them. Austria tempted Europe with a last hope of peace at the very moment iyhen she fixed the day warm within for opening the war.

Shell areso lotion is evidently incompatible with any ulterier arTiange meat, and if it be true that England and Prussia have taken new steps at Vienna, we believe that to hope in their mimosa would bo a great illusion. Austria has decided on pushing matters to- the last extremity. " It is to be presumed that imperious considerations must have pushed the Court of Vienna into this fatal path, since she consents to brave the public opinion of Europe, and to give an wen denial to her own, words.", , . • .7- The Gazette de France says : . "Should Austria persist in sending troops, in spitetf the rulers of the Small States of Italy, to,points which she may consider essential forher personal defence, she woul&ple ce herself in the falsest position possible. It appears that the Grand Duke of Tuscany has not alone protested-against this pretension of Austria. ' The Duchess of Parma, who has always displayed the greatest strength of character intvery difficult position, has, it would appear, also refused to allow the Austrians to invade her States. Should Austria persist in her pretensions, she will really prove that also eonfiders the territory of . her allies as a portion of the Austrian Empire," • ". , The ' Petrie. contains the following remark; on the Prussian - military' preparations :--- - " The • Prussian Government has hastened ,>t, protest against the suppositinn that its late military measoes are .coutiebtedlii theAletift with th&- prey nee -of Arclid ' - Al bert in Berlin.

The following correspondence on the gnestien of the,Red- Sea and India Telegraph Commixly has been forwarded for publication. It is tatisfactory that the Treasuryauthorities do noV bcliesA there is any danger of the Legislature - repudiating the obligation of the guarantee (cory.) " Red Sea and India Telegraph company, 62,Moor gate-street, E.C., London, April 21,1859. " Sir.—l am instructed by the directors Of the Rai Sea and India Telegraph Company to inform Tou that serious apprehensions have been raised in the minds of the shltre holders in consequence of the late proceedings in the ll'ouso of Lords on the motion for the third reading of the &nu pany's bill. . - " - The directors thcrualvco entertain no doubt. wh&trver ' of the good faith of the Government, or of their in • .: n to abide by the terms of the contract into which they eve 4.11 entered, but, at the same time, after whathas oceurik hey deem it iMperative to request that steps may be - Wok to satisfy the natural anxiety of the shareholders, and to justify the confidence they : have hitherto felt in tile inFiolahlez na ture of the agreement underwhich they are acting. " In briefly recalling the circumstances under which the guarantee was granted I am directed to remind you that in the month of August last, when application was made by this company to the Treasury, the speedy establishment of telegraphic communication with India was, perhaps, of pore vital importance to I,lle Government than it happily is at the present moment. It was then distinctly and repeatedly stated by the directors and others that the undertakingter took far more of a public than•of a private character; that if the Government should decide upon adopting the- dna chinery of a private company such terms must be granted as should virtually ensure the risk of the experiment being borne by the Governiment ; and that any arrangement to be entered into with the company must be entirely inden dent of the commercial success or failure of the undertaking. "The urgency of the necessity, and the impossibilitiy of raising the capital required upon other terms was so strongly felt that the offers of the company were accepted upon the express condition that the whole capital should be lub scribed at once ; and that theconstruction and layingtfown of the line should be commenced forthwith, whilst entire control was secured to the Government by the appointment of two ex-officio directors whose sanction was required to every proceeding of the company. " As it was clearly impossible to . obtain the immediate assent of Parliament to these arrangements, which were completed during the recess, the company was required to apply for'an act in the next session. " Upon the faith of the agreement thus concluded:the capital was subscribed, and a contract entered into with Messrs. Newall and Co., which received the sanction of the Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury, for the completion of the line to India within 12 months, involving thereby a large and immediate outlay ; to meet which £400,000 was actually called up before the meeting of Par lia,m, I j en n t de e r na th b i let s l co th n e tra er t p l a ,B n o y o t m o f ie ro s c o e f ed eit w b i l t e h hthaveire already been dispatched to the Red Sea, by which it is hoped to establish a communication between Alexandria and Aden in the month of May, whilst the manufacture of the remain ing section is rapidly proceeding at home. " Under these circumstances it is with no small surprise that the shareholders have learnt that a question has been raised in Parliament as to the expediency of sanctioning the Government contract, and that the company's bill has been postponed without any protest on the part of her Majesty's Government against the impossibility of repud ating so solemn an obligation. ".From the representations made to them from •varions quarters, the directors deem it indispensably necessary that the shareholders should receive an official assurance that the Government is determined to give full effect to - the agreement, and - that the directors are authorised to proceed in the work which they are endeavouring faithfully to-per form,.but which they do not hesitate to say will be most materially impeded if the slightest doubt shall be allowed to rest for a moment upon the validity of their engagevent with her Majesty's Government.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, I " (Sikited) "C. lA.

A very limited supply oT home-grown wheat was on sale to-day. Owing to the prospect of a continental war, home grown wheats were is to 2s per quarter dearer, with a fair demand. Foreign wheat was held at 2s to 3s per quarter more money, and some parcels were taken on speculation. Floating cargoes of grain produced more money. Barley was in improved request, and rather dearer. In the value of malt no change took place. Oats were firm, and held for more money. The imports are on a fair average scale.
