The Freight Market is depressed this week,
owing to the abundance of tonnage offering. For
short voyages rates are much lower, and but little
inquiry for ships. East India and China freights
are weaker, but the report of the homeward rates
having fallen, has checked any considerable reduc-
tion in outward rates. Pacific and Mediterranean
freights are unchanged. Brazilian and West
India rates are fully 3s per ton lower. To U. S.
ports freights remain without quotable change
from last week.

LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING.
At the half-yearly meeting of the London and
County Bank to-day the report was adopted, and
a dividend of 5 per cent. declared.
The creditors of Mr. Hacker, tanner, have to-
day accepted a composition for ss. The liabilities
amount to £44,432, and the assets to £9,696.
In the LONDON STOCK MARKET to-day the
Funds were firm at yesterday's improvement.
The Funds closed at the following prices :

The following appeared in our later editions
of yesterday :
The English funds this morning opened at another
advance of id., which was fully supported to the close,
buoyancy being observable in nearly all departments of
the Stock Exchange. In the discount market the
demand continues moderate ; but at the Bank, prom
exceptional circumstances, the applications to-day were
larger than yesterday. The Frinch funds show only a
recovery of per cent. The corn market this morning
was firm, at nominally Monday's rates. No bullion was
taken from the bank to-day. All the lately arrived
American gold has been purchased for the continent,
and the whole of the amount from Australia by the
Kent is also expected to be seat away. In the railway
market the announcement of the proposed midland
dividend of 61 per cent. per annum, a rate exceeding
public expectation, caused a further general advance.—

A considerable effect has been produced in the Stock
Exchange by the publication of tie remarkable letter
of the Emperor Napoleon to the Count de Persigny.
There is a strong disposition to believe that the profes-
sions of amity towards England, contained in this
document, though probably to a great extent dictated
by the distrustful attitude of Germany, may be accepted
as marking a real improvement in the political situation,
and, as adjourning indefinitely, the prospect of a rupture
between England and France. The funds have risen
per cent., and closed at nearly the best point of the day.
The improvement extended to most of the other depart-
ments of the Stock Exchange. Investments in sound
securities are increasing. British railway stocks were
particularly buoyant, notwithstanding the approach of
the 4th of the month. The demand at the discount-
office at the Bank continues limited, and in the open
market best bills are taken at a fractional reduction
from the Bank rate.—Daily News.
The LONDON RAILWAY SHARE MARKET to-day
experienced a further considerable rise for British
Stock, though only partially supported up the
afternoon. Midland Stock was dealt in as high
as 130. Canadas were steady.

ROTTEN STATE Of MORTAR VESSELS IN THE-MED-
WAY.—In consequence of the representations which have
been made to the Admiralty, relative to the state of the
mortar vessels laid up in ordinary at Yantlet Creek,
Chatham, many of which, if not the whole, are rapidly
falling into decay, such as to render their fitness for fur-
ther service exceedingly doubtful, a patty of shipwrights
from Chatham dockyard have been employed in opening
the various beats and removing the outer coverings for
the purpose of exposing the timbers to the atmosphere,
in order to arrest the progress of the dry rot, which is
making such serious havoc among them. It is evident,
however, that this remedy, even if it answer at all, will
only prove a partial one, and some other plan must be
devised
for Preserving the fleet of mortar vessels now in
the 'Medway, or the consequences will inevitably be that
when wanted on a sudden emergency the whole of these
useful vessels will be discovered
!.0 ke utterly unfit for
service.
