The Express.
London, England, 1852-09-07 00:00:00

This implies a virtual withdrawal of the preten-
sions at first set up. We may observe that Senor
Osma (the announcement of whose mission to Europe
with reference to the guano question and other
matters was made by us some : weeks back) is
expected to reach England in a week or so. At the
opening of the market Mexican Bonds were very
heavy, receding to 244 upon speculative sales, but a
rally to 231 succeeded, the price leaving off about
25 to 1. The amount of remittances to the Messrs.
Baring. is stated in the newspaper accounts at
74,000 dole., but the committee have again neglected
to make the needful inquiries and publish the
result. There is no news by the Medway
later than that received by way of the Havannah,
and published at the end of last week, the letters
being merely duplicates of those received by that
opportunity. The disturbances noticed in several
parts of the republic appear to be based on the pre-
text of the oppressive tariff, and in connexion with
this subject the impression had become stronger that
the President would shortly decree a reduction in
the duties on his own authority.
Spanish bonds were not quite so buoyant to-day,
but still maintain the late advance very fairly. The
new Turkish loan was to-day introduced into the
official list, and realised 51 to 54 prem. Sales

comprised 1,163,736 dots. by the Medway from the
West Indies, and 635,000 doh,. by the Africa from
New York, making a total value of nearly 360,0001.

Hamburg letters natio° the failure of Meseta
Dane, Brothers, of that city. The firm have also
establishments at Mexico and Paris. With reference
to the crops it is stated that the harvest in that
neighbourhood had been long finished, and was
stated to be productive, but blight and rust appeared
in some samples. The potato disease is also evident.
In Denmark the crops are stated to be double the
average, as is also the case in Sweden. It appeared
to be the prevalent impression that the import, of
grain into Great Britain this season will be meek
above the average, but as yet the prices current la
the London market would not admit of shipments
from Hamburg.

This return is indicative of increased activity in the
business of the bank.
The prospectus has been issued of the Great North-
ern, Doncaster, Wakefield, Leeds and Bradford Rail-
way, an enterprise for which it is contemplated to
raise 750,0001. in 2W. shares. The line is to com-
mence at Doncaster, and then run straight on to
Wakefield, Bradford and Leeds. A junction is to be
formed between Bradford and Shipley with the
Leeds and Bradford line, by which a continuous and
the shortest line from London to Edinburgh, Glas-
gow, and She north of England will bo attained, bat
the project appears to be chiefly of local interest, and
thus meets with support from influential parties in
the vicinity. The district through which it will pass
is exceedingly populous.
The subjoined calculations show the rate per cent.
per annum yielded by our government stocks at pre-
sent prices. To render the results strictly accurate,
the proportion of interest which may have accrued
since last dividend period should in each cue be
taken into account. It should also be remembered
that the Three-and-a Quarter per Cent. becomes a
Three per Cent. Stock in 1864.
