MONEY NARKET,--(TE18 DAY.)

Two o'Cloat.

The stock markets showed renewed buoyancy
this morning, and a fresh advance occurred, espe-
cially as regards some of the chief home
railway stocks. Realisations having followed,
prices of most classes of securities have
returned to the closing quotations of yes-
terday. Foreign bonds now show dulness. The
English funds, however, are supported at an advance
of I} to I per cent.

At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Reuter's tele-
gram, the Three per Cent. Routes opened at
651 r. 90c., being 50. better than yesterday.

money and the 11th inst. The official business
report is as follows :- -Three per Cent. Con-
sols, for money, 883, 3 ; ditto for account,

Foreign stalks are quiet. After showing firm-
ness, the market is now dull. Confederate Bonds

Although yesterday was the 4th of the month, the
demand at the Bank discount office did not exceed
moderate proportions, and the general market was
I quiet, with a large supply of money. More will-
ingness was consequently shown in some quarters
to take choice bills at 81 and 8/ per cent. The nu-
merous bills maturing yesterday appear to have
been very well met, and no failures have been re-
ported. The charge for Indian Bank six months'
bills is nominally si per cent., but trainer-
tions took place in some quarters at 8 and 81. It
seems to be expected that the supply of these bills
will diminish, owing to the subsidence of the de-
mand for silver for the East, but the relatively
lower rate for these 6 months' bills also indicates
the growth of a belief that the value of money will
soon experience some reduction. Lower rates
wou'd doubtless be accepted already were it not
for the fear that the heavy losses incurred in cotton,
sugar, and other articles of produce will yet make
themselves felt. The terms now charged for die-
counts may be regarded as including au unusually
large premium of insurance against these risks, in
addition to the ordinary consideration for the use
of capital.

The influx of gold to the Bank continues ; the
amount sent into that establishment yesterday
was 75,0001., making a total of 344,0001. since the
date of the last return.

Only one Australian gold ship—theJ. E. E.,
with 44,0001.—is known to be now at sea, but tele-
grams are expected to arrive in a few days an-
nouncing the despatch of froth remittances to this
country.
The steamer Barad* took yesterday 110,033/. in
specie for the East, of which 6,9011. is bold and the
rest silver. The amount for India is 55,9771. ;
China, 31,5791. ; Singapore, 16,7501. ; Alexandria,
4,2001. ; and Point de (lane, 1,5271.

The subjoined memorandum describes the satis-
factory pregreas of the Madras Railway Company :
The *peeing of the Mysore branch of the Madras Railway
to Basgalon for public trifc took place, as proposed, Oa
the let August, amid much festivity and rejoicing amoug
the European and native community. This capital of lly-
"ore asd chief military station of the math of India is thus
brought within 10 hours' journey of Madras. The traveller
can breakfast at Marina and dine at Baagalixe, 216 miles off,
nearly in the centre of the Peninsula, at en elevation of
3,000 feet above the sea, and in our of the mod agreeable
and salubrious of Indian climates. This great height, more-
over, in attained so gradually by the skilful advantage which
has been taken of the natural features of the country, that
the gradient of the hoe at no point exceeds 1 io 75, and the:.
only for a very short distance. The length of the breach
from Jallaet, whore it leaven the south-west line of the
Madras Railway, to Bangalore is 84 miles, sod with the ex-
ception of the nine miles in which it Sadly rises to the My-
sore table land, the radii:tote throughout am easy asd the
works comparatively light. From the geode] cheapness of
its constroctos and its prospect' of tweak, the whole of
which will pass over the main lice for a greater or lan die-
tetics, the completion of this branch is as much a matter
of congratulation to the shareholders of the eon:pane as to
the communities of Madras and Mysore. Of the publics im-
portance of the new communication in a commercial, poli-
tical, end military point of view it is nenticanad to speak.
A farther extensioa of about 40 miles of the company's
north-west line towards Coddepa was expected to take pleas
is the coarse of last mouth. This section embraces the
heaviest work on the hoe the Balapillay pass, which has
hitherto been a great obstruction to the access of the Cud.
daps traffic to the railway.
A special meeting of the Panama, New Zealand,
