The prospectus is issued of a new Canadian line,
the Leke Huron and Buffalo Railway, with a capital
of .500,0001. currency, or 410,000!. sterling. It is
intended, it appears, to form a Canadian Company,
under special act of the Colonial Legielature,to take a
lease in perpetuity of the incomplete works of the
Buffalo, Brantford, and Goderich Railway, a line
one hundred and fifty seven miles long, extending
from the foot of Lake Brie to Lake Huron. Of this
line 82 miles are now open, 82 may be made ready
for traffic in a few weeks, and the remaining portion,
consisting of 42 miles, is about one-third made, and
will require from 12 to 18 months to finish. The
total stun expended is stated at 714,0004 sterling,
and a further amount of 326,0001. sterling is estimated
to be required for its completion and equipment.
The rental to be paid by the new to the old company
is fixed at 30,000!. per annum for seven years, such
rental to afterwards increase 2,500/. per annum to a
maximum of 40,000/. per annum, which last named
sum is equal to a dividend of rather leas than 6 per
cent. per annum on the capital of 714,0001. already
expended. Until the lice is opened to Goderich it is
iittentitd to allow out of capital, if needful, 0 per cent
interest upon the deposit and calls, bat an anticipation
is expressed that this interest will be defrayed out of
the earnings of the line between Buffalo and Strat-
ford. The shares are of 251. currency, or 201. 10s.
sterling, each, with a deposit of 8!. 10s. sterling per
share.

MONDAY EVENING.
The English funds remain very firm, owing to the
fine weather, and to the belief that the allied armies
will shortly make a renewed attempt upon Sebas-
topol. Operations, both bona fide and speculative,
are still very restricted, but the market remains good
in character. Money contiuues very easy in the
Stock Exchange, with little demand. In Lombard-
street there is still a fair demand for accommodation.
Consols scarcely varied throughout the day from
Saturday's closing quwation of 911 to 1 for the 6th
September. For money transactions are recorded at
901 to 911, and the closing quotation was 91 to 4. It
will bo noticed that the difference between the quota-
tion for money and that for the 6th Sept. is now nar-
rowed to 4 per cent. The official business report is
as follows : Three per Cent. Console, for money, 901,
911, 91, 911; ditto, for account, 6th September, 911;
Three per Cent. Reduced, 911, 911 ; New Three per
Cente., 921, 1„ ; Long Annuities, expiring in Jan.,
1860, 4 1-16; Bank Stock, 214 ; Three-and-a-Half per
Cent. Exchequer Bonds, falling payable in 1858,
woz ; ditto, 1859, 100 t z ; India Stock, 2311.
The foreign stock market was quiet and steady.
The chief operations were again in Turkish, which
continues to show firmness, ranging between 93 and
931, and closing at 931 to 1. The issue of
the new loan of 5,000,0001. is looked for with
much interest.
