THURSDAY Evniinte.
The English stock market continues very inani-
mate, but well supported. Money is very abundant
in the Stock Exchange, and such of the government
stocks as have their transfer books open continue
scarce in the market, owing to the steady absorption
of the public. the favourable weather also affords
great support to prices, whilst the circulation of
uneasy rumours relative to the state of affairs before
Sebastopol has been checked by the publication of
accounts extending to Tuesday night from Glenna \
Pelletier.
At Paris to-day the Three per Cent. Routes closed
at a further decline of about 1 per cent. The Amster-
dam bourse is dull. The reports from the German
1 markets have not come to hand, the gape line of
telegraph being interrupted.
Nothing definite has yet transpired with reference i
to the French Loan, but rumour s of course busy on
the subject. According to this authority, the amount
will be 760 millions of francs, or 30 millions sterling,
and wiles connected with he government are so
sanguine as to express an anticipation that the sub-
scriptions of the public will amount to some 2,000
milhoor-e(—banes, or about 80 minims sterling.
These parties appear to think that the prior, 861 is
the Three per Cent. Rented, will be found sufficiently
tempting. It will be remembered that the subscrip-
tions sent in for the City of Paris Loan of 80 millions
of francs, which was announced a few days ago,
amounted to upwards of 200 millions of francs.
Consols were quoted daring nearly the whole of
the day at 91/ to 1 ex div. for the 10th July, and
closed at 91/, exactly.
The foreign stock market participates in the
general stagnation of Stock Exchange business, but
press are steady.
The Lightning was reported by teleuraph today
as having arrived off Queenstown from Port Phillip,
whence she sailed about the 20th April. The amount
of gold brought in by this vessel is stated in the
despatch at 60,080 ounces, worth about 240,0001.
The latest dates previously received were to the 20th
March.
The Madrid has taken out 40,0961. in specie to the
Peninsula, of which 8,1001. is for Lisbon, 31,9261. for
Cadiz, and 2001. for Gibraltar.

Hardy, Petrel, and the Lady Rebow, have been or-
dered to be yed for the Transport Service.

The East India Company receive tenders on
the 4th of July for the oonveyance of stores from
England to Calcutta.
The Canada Land Company's shares experienced .
further rise of about 41. to-clay, other land shares
remaining steady. Bank shares exhibit little varia-
tion. The stocks of the Electric Telegraph and
Royal Mail Steam Companies were quoted higher.
General Screw Steam shares were dealt in at 1'
to 1.

THIS DAY, Two o'CLocx.
The English funds have shown a little flatness this
morning, but the variation is trifling, and present
quotations are much the same as the closing range
of yesterday. Consols, after receding to 901
91, have since recovered to 91 to k ,
div. for the the 10th July. The Three per Cent
Reduced have been dealt in at 911 to 92/
the New Three per Conte. at 921 to 1; Bank Stock
at 211; Exchequer Bonds, 1858, at 101; Exchequer
Bills, March, at 21e. to 245. prem.; ditto June,
20s. prem.; and India Bonds, at 295. to 335. prem.
Foreign stocks remain quiet, but Turkish has risen
to 811 to I, after being sold as low es 801. Spanish
Deferred Three per Cents. are quoted 181 to 1; Russian
Five per Cents., 96 to 100; and Mexican, 211 to 9'
Sardinian Bonds have been dealt in at 851 ; and
mien Four-and-a-Ralf per Cents. at 69.
