The English stock market to-day was again de-
pressed, and closed at a further reduction. Consols
opened 1001 to 1 for money, but left off, according to
the official account, at 1001 to 1, and 1001 toe for
the account of the 11th November. After the regu-
lar hours of business the flatness continued, and the
quotation was still a shade worse, at 1001, and 1001
to 1 respectively. The business in this department
of the market comprised a fair sprinkling of bona
fide transactions in the various classes of home stocks,
bat there was very little iptionletica. It is probable
the market it to a esetain extent affected by the
mend far far money in the house occasioned by the slide
and foreign stork settling ; but in the afternoon it
was stated that the French prices came lower,
a very natural consequence of the late
marked rise in those stocks. The National
Debt Commisionere broker again invested in
Reduced Threes at 991. Business is thus re-
corded :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 1001,

The unfunded securities continue to rise. The
March Exchequer Bills were dealt in at 765. prem. ;
and closed 755. to 78s. prem. The June issue was
also higher at 745. to 775. prem., and India Bonds
at 86s. to 88e. prem.
The settlement wu in progress in the foreign stock
market, and was generally unfavourable to prices,
but the decline was but slight during the official
hours, except in Turkish scrip, which fell to 61
prem., upon the strength of a statement that
the Turkish Minister of Finance had re-
signed, in consequence of refusing to give his
ratification to the loan. The last price quoted late
in the afternoon was 61 to 61 prom., the last trans-
action officially recorded being at 71. Grenadian
Bonds were flat, but Buenos Ayrean realised the im-
roved price of 731. The Swedish Mortgage Loan
fell to

Our French accounts contain a statement to the
effect that an Anglo-French company is in course of
formation with a view to the amalgamation of all
the mines d the departments of the Ardbehe and
Gard, situite in the valleys of the Sure and Ganiere;
and the formation of a railway from Besaege to the
Rhone, in order to work them more effectually.
In the Daily News of this morning was published
the prospectus of the Royal Swedish Railway, for
the issue of which we prepared the public several
weeks back, and again a few days ago. The amount
of capital required for the first section of 88 miles is
only 416,6701. sterling, but the line in question forms
but a part of a grand trunk line from Stockholm to
Gottenburg. There is a government guarantee of 6
per cent., of which 1 per cent. is to be appropriated
for a sinking fund, and under these circumstances a
premium of 1 to 1 per cent. was current on the
shares in the Stock Exchange. We understand that
the present mode of conveyance is by canal and lake
from Oottenburg to Hult, at which point the railway
will commence and run on to the town of /Loping,
where it will be in connexion with steamers to Stock-
holm. The present portion of the line will be cum-
minced first, because it will connect the three great
lakes of Sweden, on which a large amount of traffic
is now carried on. Every assistance will be afforded
by the government in the construction of the lime.
