' CV 7-4-*l , ittlets LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1851 Earnest exertions are still, we rejoice to observe, being nude in furtherance of the movement com menced for the abolition of taxes upon knowledge. Eighteen months ago, an association was formed for the purpose of carryi ng t hi s most desirable reform into effect, the nucleus of the association consisting of a cluster of compositors employed on the newspapers of Birmingham. Gradually since then the society . has increased in numbers and importance, embracing among its supporters several most influential names. On Monday the annuel meeting was held at th e pu bli c office, the c h a i r being taken by the respected Member for Birmingham, Mr. s crioLße eeeD. Anything which indicates a continuance of the solicitude already ex prersed in behalf of this great improvement is to us a matter of deep and cordial satisfaction, more espe cially when it is discovered, as in the present instance, that practical efforts are being made to sustain public ardour on the subject, and to disseminate throughout the community some notion of the evil as at this moment existing, in a ll t h e magnitude of its influence and the multiplicity of its ramifications. Th e principal featur e o f the grievance, as was remarked by the Honourable Representative of Bir mingham, is most unquestionably the most onerous of all the imposts levied upon knowledge —the tax upon paper. The weight of this intolerable bur den has hitherto, of all things, acted the most preju dicially in retarding the movement of popular inquiry, in crippling the genies of the intelligent b u t i ndigent members of the labouring population, in rendering works of instruction unnecessarily costly, and re stricting a certain class of literature to the wealthier sections of the multitude. Against this very mon strous tlnd almost insurmountable affliction some of our more enterprising and humane publishers have had to struggle in the very teeth of a detestable opposition, driven back on the one hand by the prudent appetites of the people, and warned off in the other direction by a nearly inevitable insolvency. KNIGHT, for example, h Such men as CHARLES have suffered the most ter ribly from the ill-consequences of the said tax upon .... L. u paper, their competitors being twofold—namely, the SeiSPA .i r . 7 1 " producers of works at a high price for the gratifica -171,4.keey Lion of the lettered aristocracy, and • e i e . J., -.ree k/ • \e,„ iseusting publications for the ino the issuers of je-. t.,!l t orshippera of the horrible. bile ..,,, _i•e each of these • -- drs in literature -- ! e i t a e of the high ).. the large "4 -.-•,. •est and the ~ '. ~es' ••. owest description have been reaping ....,.......) and debased a S •. ~ !fr ':2 r‘ - THE SUN, LONDON, pecuniary advantages of their enterprise or their licentiousness—the publishers of sound and wholesome works, designed for the pe rusal of the masses, and in consequence produced at an extraordinarily moderate price, have bad to jeo pardize their fortunes in the almost desperate venture of forwarding in this practical manner the cause of popular education. In his " History of a Book," one of the most formidable blows ever aimed at the sys tem of taxation on knowledge, and a blow not very easily parried by its apologists, Mr. KNIGHT has given some remarkable illustrations of the perils sur rounding any one who would dare to adventure upon this perilous,and one might even call it Quixotic enterprise. Foremost among all these illustrations is that afforded by the most splendid attempt ever made, by a friend of national education, to administer to the intellec tual wants of the masses—we mean the 'periodical issue of the Penny Cyclopedia. The originator of that magnificent undertaking has himself told us the enormous losses to which he rendered himself liable by the fact of its publication—and the event unhap pily proved the irresistible nature of the forces brought to bear against his benevolent proceedings. The cause of all this is sufficiently obvious. Whereas the publisher of costly works gets repaid for his various expenditures, by the high prices given by each of his numerous purchasers—and whereas the publisher of low and prurient publications obtains ample remuneration for his wretched paper and stamped-up typography (paying himself little or no thing to his soscalled literary contributors), the pub• lisher of cheap works, or periodicals of a wholesome and instructive character, having to pay for good type, and good compositors, and good paper, and good authors, and good readers (readers, we mean, in the printing establishments), and these productions naving necessarily, from their very novelty, a restricted circula tion, the publisher, we say, of such works or periodicals must look almost with confidence to the one result— bankruptcy. While the taxes inveighed against not only by the Birmingham Association, but also by our selves and the majority of our contemporaries, the taxes upon knowledge continue—no reasonable hope can exist for the spontaneous dissemination of intelligence among the community. The duty on paper and the duty on advertisements are imposts pressing with equal force on the penny journal and the hot-pressed folio, on the servant of all-work inquiring for a situation and the auctioneer holding out for sale an estate of a thousand acres—taxes of this de scription must be utterly and permanently abolished, or we must still continue to look with a feeling of despair for the annual increase of the immorality and ignorance of the population. Remove those most irksome burdens upon knowledge, and the beneficial consequences must be very speedily perceptible. Allow publishers like CHARLES KNIGHT to bring out periodicals such as the Penny Cyclopadia, and the cheap Biographical Dictionary, and the Penny Magazine, and other equally meritorious and remarkable publications, to carry his noble enterprises into effect without being crushed down by the incubus of an inexorable taxation cn paper and on advertisements, and knowledge would almost imperceptibly begin to circulate among por tions of the multitude at present shrouded in impenetrable ignorance, a knowledge exercising a potent and purifying influence on their morality and their patriotism. For the realization of this benefi cent day-dream of reform we shall still ourselves continue to labour, sanguine that good may be derived from the present agitation, now that the force of facts is beginning to affect even the Members of the Legislature. We have repeatedly directed the public attention to the grave defect and almost intoler able omission in the administration of the criminal law of England, by which the duty of prosecuting for the most serious outrages against society, and bringing the worst offenders to justice, is imposed on private individuals. Scarcely a week elapses without affording some strong illustration of these enormous evils. Few per sons are Quixotic enough to undertake the expense, responsibility, and inconvenience of vindicating the majesty of the law, unless they have suffered severely in purse or person, or that they are influenced by some strong motives either of vengeance or cupidity, and are anxious to use the weapon en trusted to their hands as a means of gratifying their malignity, or as an instrument of extortion. We do cot mean to say that where the responsibility of pro secuting is cast upon a person who has been in any manner plundered or ill-used, that it will not be faith fully performed. There is a certain degree of public spirit to be found in every English heart that induces parties to submit to almost any degree of annoyance when society demands the sacrifice. But is it just or equitable to take advantage of this honourable feeling, or reasonable to expect that a person who has been robbed or swindled of a large amount of money, or has sustained serious personal injury, should be com pelled to defray heavy costs which he may be ill able to afford, or that the culprit should be allowed to escape with impunity ? We have always understood the constitutional theory to be that every member of the body politic surrenders a certain portion of his natural liberty, and is bound to contribute according to his circumstances to the maintenance of the national es tablishments and the liquidation of the national lia bilities. But he receives, or rather is supposed to re ceive, a full and fair equivalent in the protection afforded to his person and property by the funda mental laws of the State, to which he owes allegiance. Any unwarrant a bl e i nvas i on o f hi s rights subjects the wrong-doer to stringent punishment; but practically he must become his own avenger. He must himself put the machinery of the Jaw into motion, and if he is not possessed of the necessary appliances for greasing the wheels of juice he may remain witheut satisfaction. Without en official public prosecutor, fully qualified to dis charge the arduous duties of his station, the admi nistration of the criminal law is a mere lottery—a loophole is afforded for the escape of the greatest de linquents, and that very uncertainty operates es a great inducement to crime ; for experience has long since shown that it is " the certainty rather than the severity of punishment" that terrifies offenders— " We must not make a scarecrow of the law, Setting it up to fear the birds of prey, And let it keep one shape, till custom make it Their perch, and not their terror." The great interpreter of the Book of Nature was indeed right. The impunity accorded to one :horough-paced ruffian, through the undue lenity, inefficiency, or poverty of the person to whose hands the State entrusted the conduct of his prosecution, is productive of the most mischievous consequences, leading to the multiplication of crime, and producing the most reckless audacity among its votaries. We have recently shown that it was owing to the absence of any official prosecutor that Mrs. SLOANE was enabled to avoid arrest, so that a reward of 501. for her apprehension became necessary. To the same cause may be ascribed the discharge of AnonPnE DH WERDINSKI by proclamation at the Middlesex Sessions, without any indictment being preferred against him. And now we find great difficulties made as to who shall be the prosecutors against a person who is stated to be the proprietor or manager of A den of thieves, in which the rising generation are instructed in the most approved method of picking pockets, and duly qualified for th e ne f ar i ous occupa tions for which they are trained by their worthy portion the statement mad e of tutor. If but a small by the police•constables FISHER and ARCHER be well founded, it becomes a matter of the greatest import.. ance that the public nuisance should be abated w t ith e all convenient spee d, an d that the po r tals " Kitchen " s h ould b e close d aga i ns t th e juvenile stu • dents. The following is the account of the " Kitchen," and its visitors, with which FISHER, one of the G divi sion, enlightened the parochial authorities : "Fisher said it was a harbour for the vilest characters, not only in and about London, but was resorted to by thieves with stolen property from all parts, who found and,the rear eady whenever w h ay e was f a d e i i s e po s s e i e n r g eh o fetfhaei thief, i i!le h o e t ill-gotten firstof al l went store ; l went there, and would find nearly 200 congreg ated. Not long ago he wa s a f ter a person who had stolen the then Lord Mayor' s (Ald erman Magnay's) plate, and he found him there, and u lti mate l y he was tried, c onvicted, and transported. The prisoner had the management of the place, and trained lads to thieve. Ho had seen him instruct them frequently ; and once in particular, whil e watching unobserved, he saw a coat banging to a line in the "Kitchen," when the prisoner placed a handker chief in one of the pockets and sho we d a num b er of lads how to go and lift the skirts to take it out. The lads, at his bidding, followed his example, and, if they did riot succesd without bungling, he knocked them down, :Iron] time to time, until they were proficient. And yet, notwithstanding this account the 'board of guardians endeavoured to evade the responsibility of prosecuting the prisoner. The chairman desired to know " whether the Police Commissioners could not prosecute." The magistrate thought the duty belonged to the guardians ; and there is as yet no certainty that any person whatsoever will come for ward, for all that could be elicited from the clerk of the guardians was, that " the subject should receive an early consideration." Once more, then, we ask, how long is this singular anomaly to be continued, and the criminal law be left to execute itself? When shall we be placed in as good a position as our Scottish brethren, who have for ages had a well-organized and efficient staff of public prosecutors, whose business it is to investigate every crime and bring the offenders to justice. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. Several of the leading Members of the Assembly had had conferences with the PRESIDENT, but no solu tion of the Ministerial crisis Lad been arrived at. M. DE LAMARTINE has refused to enter the Ministry. The Gazette de France says— "M. de Lamartine had on Sunday evening a long conference with the President of the stepublic. Offars were made to him, but M. de Lamartine thinks that his presence in the Ministry would he more prejudicial than useful for the re-establishment of harmony between the two great powers of the State. This at least is the ground on which he based his refusal to accept office." The Moniteur du Soir gives the following list of new Ministers as the most probable :—Minister of Justice and President of the Council, M. Odilon Barrot ; Interior, M. Leon Faucher ; Public Works, M. Daru; Foreign Affairs, M. de Lahitte; Public Instruction, M. Dumas ; Finance, M. Fould ; Marine, M. Dupetit-Thouars ; Commerce, M. Bonjean ; War, General Magnan or General Oudinot. On the probable consequences of the appointment of an ODILON BARROT Ministry, and on the refusal of M. DE LAMARTINE to take office, we find the fol lowing in the Presse : " What solution would an 0. Barrot Ministry bring? None. It could not resolve the question of dotation, or that of revision. It would be suspected by the Right as by the Left. The Republicans would look on it as Roy alist, and the Royalist as Republican. Forthe oneit would represent the reaction of which it has been the instru ment, and for the others the revolution of which it has been the accomplice. It would only be a delay of some days, at the end of which time the Government; would be again stopped short, as at present. M. 0. Barrot, besides, is not new; he has been tried, and what did he produce ? Nothing. His Ministry led to the Message of Oct. 31, hat is, to an energetic disavowal of the old Parlia mentary policy, of which he was the expression. To recal M. 0. Barrot now is to deny the language of 1849, that is, to humiliate the executive power the day after a struggle in which it was condemned. Thus, at whatever side we look, we only see impossible ministries. M. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte has thought as we do, since he has looked beyond the majority, dissolved and di vided, and applied to M. de Lamartine. M. de Lamar tine has refused, for motives which certainly do him honour, but which the President cannot accept, nor the country comprehend. We do not doubt that fresh over tures will lead to new reflections on the part of M. de Lamartine. We do not doubt that he will be led to the only course that can constrain a man of his disinterested ness and patriotism, the evidence of necessity." We entirelP agree with the Presse that the appoint ment of an ODILON BARROT Ministry would be a humiliation of the Executive Power, and it would appear from the statement in the Pays, " that the PRESIDENT has nothing more at heart than to labour without deity in restoring concord between the dif ferent fractions of the moderate party," —as if the Executive Power was prepared to submit to hum liation. It is now admitted on all hands that the victory in the late contest remained to General CAVAIGNA C and the Republicans, who compelled both Legitirna tists and Orleanists to submit to his terms. " The amendment of M. ST. RELIVE not a comma snore not a comma less," said the ster n R e p u bli can Generai• and BEERYER, and M. T HIERS , an d General CHAN.. GARNIEIL obeyed. The following from the National describes exactly the present situation : " Tho Empire has now against it, in addition to the oath of the President, the crushing vot e o f th e Legisla tive Assembly, and all the g€nersls who have any in fluence in the army. The majority, at the same time that it freed us from the Empire, committed suicide. It is no more. Nothing remeins of that great party of order which was to put an end to the Republic. Of the four great parties composing the Assembly, the most numerous at present is the Republican one. Claremont, Wiesbaden, and the tours of the President had less divided the majority than these three days of public confessions in the tribune. They were united above all by their joint respohsibility in the law of May 31, and by a common hatred against democracy; they are now aware that the day on which any one of them, quitting the policy of inaction, should desire to march atter the conquest of the chief power, it would find no enemies more irreconcileable and venomous than its pretended allies; they were strong only by their union, and they remained united only on condition of annihVating them selves. It was already edifying to see the Legitimatists grasp the hand of M. Thiers, the gaoler of Blaye, and hear M. de lontalembert dictate to the Voltairians of the school of Talleyrand the severeien orders of the con gregationists. This alliance of all the hypocrisies gave a tine spectacle to Europe, and a noble engagement to the country; but, thanks to God, these enemies of demo cracy and liberty have condemned themselves. They have told each other their truths, so as to prevent all chances of reconciliation. M. Berryer could vote on Sa turday with M. Thiers, but he will not pardon him to have disclosed in the tribune the political indigence of the guests of Wiesbaden. The treachery of Deutz will be first pardoned. Even should a new coalition be formed be tween the Legitimatists and the Orleanists, they have lost for e ver th e a id o f t h e El yseans, which they could not do without. It is a poor party in numbers, and still more so in intelligence; but such as it is the majority cannot lose it without ceasing to exist; and in losing it, loses power by the same blow, s in ce it had giv en it and maintained it. The majority which passed the law of May 31 does not any longer exist. It perishes in its victory, and its dissolution is so complete that there re mains nothing more of it than the remembrance of its obstinacy in lies, and violence in evil. The Empire was never anything but a phantom; but the majority lived and reigned for its misfortune and ours. We find the following in the Illoniteur:— " A decree of the President of the Republic, dated the 18th, puts an end to the interim of the department of Marine and Colonies, confided to M. Drouyn de Lbuys, Minister of Foreign Affairs. By order of the President of the Republic, M. Ducos, will transact the affairs of the department of Marine and Colonies midi the nomination of his successor." The Patric says— " ha Parliamentary club of the Rue des Pyramides appears decided on pursuing the policy of conciliation which die:iced the vote of the 286. It met Yesterday evening in the library of the Council of State, and named a committee of thr e e, compose d o f MM. Leon Faucher, Dare, and Luerost,e, charged to provide for the necsssides of the position. The club will retain its name, but is will apply all its energy to constitute it.=;elf in a manner as strong as its repulsion for every hostile mareeuvre against the Executive." Several arrests of persons took place on Sunday evening at the establishment of the Associated Cooks —the persons are accused of belonging to a secret Communist Society called the Union des Communes. In the Assembly on Monday M. BAC proposed a resolution absolutely protecting members from arrest for debt, which was defeated by 469 to 201. In the Assembly yesterday the debate on the proposition for regulating the arrest of members was resumed. The following is the first article by the proposed law : " Conformably to the 36th and 37th articles of the Constitution, no representative of the people can be ar rested, in civil and commercial matters, without a pre vious authorisation of the National Assembly." M. CRETON moved that the representative of the people who, within a delay of three months from the date of the regular notification to him of a sentence of a court of justice decreeing his arrest for debt, should not have satisfied his creditors, be considered a bankrupt, and, as such, to have forfeited his right to occupy a seat in the Assembly. M. CRETON, however, wished that until then he should be held inviolable. The amendment of M. CRETON was opposed by M. ODILON BARROT, and rejected. The Bourse was more animated, and there was more business transacted. The Five per Cents. opened at 95f. 25c., rose to 95f. 30c., and closed at 95f. 25c. The Three per Cents. closed at 57f. 10c.

The Prussian Staats Anzeiger of the lath pu b. lishes the following proclamation, addressed by the KING to the army : To my Army,—The circumstances which obliged me, two months ago, to call on all the forces to protect our country have happily so changed as to enable me to dischar ge to their homes and their avocation;, a large cumber of the old soldiers of the army, on the very day on which Prussia celebrates the anniversary of the coronittlou of her first, Sing. cannot allow this op portunity to pass without expressing my deep acknow ledgment of the lively zeal with which the perma nent army passed from a state of pt•ace to one of war, the eagerness of the country to make the necessary provisions, and the enthusiasm with which the Land wehr gathered and flew to their colours. The efforts that have been made will not be thrown away; their weight has caused the balance to lean to the side of peace by eying a fresh proof of the high efliciwicy of the army, and by making clearly apparent for the first time since the glorious years 1813, 1814, and 1815, the aptitude and military qualities of the Landwehr, which wore called out en masse. I am firmly convinced that all those who aro now permitted to leave these colours will return to them with the same warlike ardour, and that ull parts of the army will endeavour by obedience and respect to discipline to cause it to be regarded, as hitherto, as the firm support and the just pride of the country.

Roney, Esq., the secre tary of the company, visited the port of Harwich, and from inquiries made of those who had the privilege of being intro duced to them, every expectation may be indulged that in so far as the Eastern Counties Railway Company is con cerned the works on the Harwich Railway will be imme diately proceeded with.

DEATH OF FIELD-MARSHAL GROSVENOR.—On the afternoon of Monday last this venerable officer, who was one of the six field -marshals of England, and colcnel of the 65th Regiment, died at his residence at Richmond, Surrey, at a very advanced age. So far back as 1779 he entered the army as ensign in the 3d Foot Guards, in which regiment he continued for many years. In 1793 he accompanied the 3d Foot Guards to Holland, and served with them in Holland and Flanders; he went with the expedition to the Helder in 1799, and was present in the affair at the lines of Zuype (where he was wounded), at the battle of Alkmaer, and in the actions of the 17th of September' 6th and 9th of O c t o b er.

The structure is to cross the river in a line drawn from the Red House, on the Surrey side, to the White House, on the north bank of the river. CARDINAL WISEMAN.—With reference to a state ment in one of the morning papers, that Cardinal Wiseman has had notice of an intended prosecution for a misdemeanour, we are at liberty to state that no such notice has been given on the part of the Government. We believe that a document has been sent to his Eminence at the instance of a gentleman legally eonnected with the City, containing some admissions which the Cardinal is requested to make, in order to raise the question of the legality, or otherwise, of his archiepiscopal assumptions. The step has been taken in the exercise of the right which belongs to every subject, to institute a prosecu tion in any case in' which he may consider the criminal law of the country violated, and without the cognizance of her Majesty's law officers. LIVERPO OL , TUESDAY.—It may be import an t to the mercantil e commun i ty to l earn that no A mer i can mail will be disp a t c h e d hence unt il nex t Saturday week, th e I st of February.

Boys that are philosophers at six years of age, are generally blockheads at twenty-oae. By forcing children, you get so much into their heads that they become cracked ill order W hold it. The Brussels journals of yesterday do not announce the termination of the Ministerial crisis, but they state that the Ministers bad deliberated without the Minister of War, and that the Minister of the Interior had had an interview with the KING. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. A telegraphic dispatch from Hamburgh, dated the 18th, at three P.M., states— " That the conferences between the Stathalterschafc and the Commissioners commenced again yesterday afternoon, and lasted till midnight. "On several points an understanding has been effected. " Froderichsort is to be occupied by the Danes ; Rendsburg will probably be held by a mixed garrison of Danish and Austrian troops; but the last point is not definitively settled." The latest advices from Copenhagen inform us of the state of public opinion respecting the late events in Holstein. The general impression which was made by the news of the submission of the Stadthol ders was most favourable, but it was not considered that the arrangements about garrisoning Rendsburg and Friedricheort would be sanctioned by the Danish Government. The Danish Commissioners have con sequently been instructed to assert the rights of their Government with respect to these fortresses. ITALY. The Risorgimento of Turin, of the 17th, publishes a long letter from Father FAVA, the Provincial of the Jesuits at Naples, in which he denies the imputation cast upon him by a correspond e nt o f th a t journal— via., that the judicial proceedings against the per sons who took part in driving the Jesuits from Na ples on the 10th March, 1848, had been chiefly com menced at his instigation. He contends that those proceedings had commenced before the Jesuits were aware of them, and that he had not given a list of persons accused of complicity in the matter, nor information as to their previous tenor of life.' He quotes his examinations, and those of the other fa thers, before the examining judges as a proof of his assertions, and adds that many persons who, being implicated in the affair, had applied to him for certi ficates exonerating them from any imputation, had obtained the said certificates under his hand and seal. A letter from Florence, in the Genoa Gazette, announces that the Constituzionale has been suspended for a month, as well as the Statute, for an article against the new theatrical regulations issued by the Minister of the Interior.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The Sales of Cotton at Liverpool p , sterdmy wore esti mated fit 3,000 Wks, comprising 2,500 American, 200 Perrean and Marauham at 841. to 8:141., 100 Bahia at Bd. to Sid., and 300 Surat at 53. to qd. per lb. The market was steady at previous rates.—railway Shares were weak, but in some instances there was en improvement in the prices. The Colonial Produce Markets are extremely quiet, and holders retrain from pressing sale:. The Corn Market is firm again to-day. The Royal Mail steamer from the West Indies is tele graphed as timing arrived off Suuthateptun, but we have no intelligence as yet. Accounts of the 20th instant, from Amsterdam, state that the Dutch Funds were more feeble,• the Two-and-a- Half per Cents. being 56 15-16. Foreign Stocks, also, were flatter. The necessity of increased facilities, and at reduced rates, being offered by the dock companies of London, it they desire successfully to com pete with the outports, is becoming every year more apparent, and it is satisfactory to Ind that this neces&ity is admitted. Last year the business of th... St. Katharine Docks increased as regards the tonnage of the goods landed by 3,848 tons, and the tonnage was larger by 4,881 tons. The statement for the port of London, taking the year to the sth inst., gives a decrease of 47 ships, but an increase of 15,173 tons. This, con sidering the greater prosperity of the trade of the United Kingdom, does not meet our expectations. Southampton is rising in importance, and with a liberal policy on the part of its Dock and Railway directors, may yet prove far more attrac tive to the shipping interest. Hull has had a good share of business, Liverpool and Glasgow are pushing steadily on. The question is whether Lon don is doing all she might do, or whether railways are proving severe competitors for the conveyance of goods brought home in vessels from distant parts, as well as for the internal traffic, formerly monopolised by the canal barges and coasters. On 'Change yesterday afternoon, and in the negoti ation of-bills upon foreign cities, there was rather better feeling, and the rates were more in favour of this coun try. Ninety days' drafts were taken at 25 15 to 20 on Paris, 11 17f to on Amsterdam, 13 sto on Ham burgh, and 117 i to a on Frankfort. Money in the dis count market is easier than it was last week, best bills being charged about 2i per cent., and money on " call" is worth only 2f. The Lombard-street firms are stated to be full of cash, and there is no idea in the beat in formed circles that the Bank of England will raise the minimum rate of discount to-morrow. Some cu rious facts aro transpiring to induce the belief that we shall have a much fuller supply of silver this year from South America, the production of quicksilver in California being reported as very considerable, for it is known that large quantities of silver ore are at the pit's mouth in the South American States, and need but a cheaper supply of quicksilver t ) render them available. The English Funds are a little firmer, but, in the ab sence of extensive dealings, Consols have been 964 to 96i for Transfer, and 96 a to 961 for Account, being now 96f Hi. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realized 98i to 984, and the Three per Cents. 97 to 4. Bank Stock is firm at 214 to 2144. Exchequer-bills are 563. to 593. premium,. being higher. Foreign Securities have been very quiet, but the quo rations are firmer. Mexican Bonds are worth 33 to ;; ex dividend. Peruvian Four-and-a-Halt' per Cent. have been quoted 781 to 4. Portuguese Five per Cent. Converted Stock is at 36. Russian Five per Cent. Bonds have been 1121. Spanish Five per Cents. ure 17k. Dutch Four per Cents. are 90i. Railway Shares are improving, and tho opinion pre vails that as the English Funds rule so high, shares and debentures offer, in many instances, a preferable invest ment.
