RAPID PIO43RESS OP THE PORT OP BRISTOL.—
A return which has been prepared from of domuseats ,
at Bristol shows an important and rapid program In the
trade of that port. It is shown by it that the lavers on
the customs' revenue fur the year ending Lth Janserg,lll62,
over that for the previous year, amounts to 48,804, wbksh Is
equal to one third of the total general average of the,
customs revenue for the same period. The increase of 1
direct importation for the year is 82,2411., and the tonnage .
return of shipping shows a remarkable increase. The fol-
lowing ill the return:—Bristol customs' revenue for the
years ending sth January, 1851-1842 ,-1850-I,"direct impor-
tation, 883,1181.; indirect (or brought coastwise under
bond), 218,775/. ; total, 1,041,891/. 1851-2, direct I
importa-
tion, 895,3571. ; indirect, 206,338/. ; total, 1,100,8951. This
gives the increase as above 48,8041. The total increase of
the general customs revenue amounts fur the year to
148,1891. The increase upon shipping with foreign cargoes
in 1851 over the return for 18450 was '2,339 tons; while the
increase upon the tonnage of vessels with cargoes to foreign
ports was Am the same period, 11,877 tons. This return Is
considered highly satsfactory, the improvement of the port
having for some years been progressing.
DUNDALK AND ENNISKILLEN HAILWAY.—The
estimate of Sir John Macneill, the company's engineer, for
the construction of the proposed lies from Ballyliay to En-
niskillen, with power to levy a rate in aid on certain baro-
nies, with extension of time for completion of railway from
Cestlebleaey to llallybey, is 227,2461.

Two o'Cioex.
The transactions in the English funds to-day have
been to a moderate extent only, but prices have
shown more firmness, and are now quoted
at a further advance of 1 since Saturday. The se-
curities most in favour to-day are foreign stocks and
the new Californian and Australian Gold Mining
shares, but the plethora of money in combination
with the dividend period has gistn occasion to a
Ilbetter feeling throughout the various departments of
the Stock Exchange. Evidence is afforded in some
quarters of a disposition to take up a line of operations
for a rise in railway shares; but, although the ge-
neral condition of the country must be regarded as
affording encouragement to such a course, the
movement is but partial, that musket being gene-
relic in a quiescent state.
Consols opened at Saturday's closing range of 961
to ;1, and have since improved to 96 to 1, both for
cash and the 12th February. The official busine,oi
list includes :—Three per Cent. Consols, 961, 1 ; ditto
acecunt, 961, 1, Three per Cents. Reduced, 971,
; New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 981, a.
Batik Stock, 2161.
In the unfunded securities there is a steady busi-
ness doing at former rates. Exchequer Bills mark
.365. and utter. premium, and India Bonds, large and
small, 71s. and 691. pacm.
Moro disposition is evinced to operate in the
foreign stocks, and the general tendency of prices is
upward, especially for Mexican and Spanish. The
European dividend stocks are very firm. A good
many transactions have offered in this department this
morning, comprising the under-mentioned descrip-
tions, viz., Brazilian, Old Five per Cents., 143. Bel-
gian, Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 923. Buenos
Ayres Six per Cents., 49. Danish Three per Cents.,

The receipts of specie by the Canada front New
York ale very trifling, being only 27,001) doll. The
"apply of bills at New York was rather more plenti-
fid,with less demand, and the quotations for sterling
bad receded to 110 to 1.
A telegraphic despatch from Glasgow announces
the failure of the extensive firm of Messrs. William
Macewan, Sons, and Co., tea merchants and sugar
refiners, of that town. The liabilities arc estimated
at 120,0001., and the assets are expected to realise
about 10s. in the pound.

SATUKDAV EVENING.
The discount market has scarcely been so easy this
week, on account of the state of the stock markets,
but first-class hills may be discounted at 2 per cent.,
and for money on call 14 per cent. has been given.
The paym, nt of the dividends has been in progress
throughout the week, and a large amount of capital
let loose, but such has been the complexion of the
money markets and of political affairs that
,persons have been doubtful what course to
take. The event of the week is the arrival of
one hundred thousand pounds iu gold from Australia,
a sum which gives an earnest of a new source of
bullion supply, likely to equal the greatest results of
California, so far as we have yet the means of judg-
log. In the year 183 l the sum of ten millions
sterling was shipped front the city of New York, and
we may look foward to an early period when the
flourishing city of Sydney may rival this export.
As yet the effects of the Australian discoveries have
been local in their operation, but the period must be
at hand when a rush of population will increase the
number of gold diggers, and when the supply of
bullion to the East and to Europe will create new
channels of trade, and produce, perhaps, a great
social influence.

The market for American stocks this week presents
no feature of novelty, prices remaining as before
quoted.
Bank shares have not been largely dealt in during
the week, but prices are very firm. Colonial Bank
shares have risen nearly 11., and Oriental and Union
of Australia have both realised higher prices. The
sales recorded arc as follows :—Australasia (40/. paid),
39; ; Colonial (25/. paid), 12 ; London and West-
minster (20!. paid), 29!, 2,t ; Oriental Bank Cor-
poration (25/. paid), 31; div.; Provincial of Ire-
land (251. paid), 41,:; Union of Australia (251. paid),
!IA

Dock shares are also firmly held, and East and
West India stock has risen IL, being quoted 146.
London stock is worth 120 ex div.; Commercial, 853 ;
St. Katharine, 81.
In steam-boat shares the chief business has been
in Royal Mail Steam, which have fluctuated a good
deal, owing to the heavy call upon the resources of
the company from the loss of the Amazon, which has
followed so quickly upon the numerous other casu-
alties that have happened in this company's fleet.
Business has been done successively at 78, 80, 78,
791, 781, 771, and 76. The market for these shares
is now flat. Other descriptions, however, are well
supported. Peninsular and Orientals mark 713, 72
ex div. and bonus; ditto, New (10!. paid), 174, 2 ex
div. and bonus. General Steam Navigation, 271, 28.

Australian Royal Mail Steam Company have been
allotted, and 21. each paid on 30,000 shares, making
60,000/. A new company, with a government eon-
tract for West Africa, has Just been brought out.

tions being Alliance and British Commercial, which
are just a shade weaker. Au advance has taken
