PSIDAT Evmctao.
The Englielt hods generally presented a very
steady aPPMfiliell Is-day, as, notwithstanding •
slight fiatnamelleelleable at one period of the day,
yesterday's rata were maintained at the
close of the Consols were sold at 991 for
am* bu
the t to t both for money and the 9th
bia
~..for stock to-day was not um
medulla bet Mill a fair average business was done.
The Gadd rased at transactions is as follows :
Three per Cliet. Omsk~ for money, 99/, 1,1, 1,1;
ditto, for seem!. WI t. Three per Cent. Itedueed,
981, 1. New Thnuand-&-Quarter per Cents., Not
1. Long Annuities, 1860, 61 • ditto, 30 years,lBs9,
61; ditto, 1880, 71. India btock, 289. Bank Stock,
2201, 2191.
The tendency of the unfunded securities is still
upward, though purchasers accede with reluctance
to the higher terms demanded. The March Ex-
chequer MIL were to-day quoted at the wide margin
of 70s. to 741. prem., representing another rise of Is.
since yesterday. The Tune Bills remain quoted, 665.
to 695. peer., and India Bonds, 81s. to 84s. prem.
The closing of the amount in shares and foreign
stocks was rempleted to-day without difficulty, with
the excepttipn of a solitary case of embarruaree-'
trifling amulet. - Tlis liabilities of the -
tion are stated not to exceed 6001., whir
good, we understand, by his sureties.
Spanish Bonds were rather better to-day, but
Mexican did not fully maintainesterday's rally.
Ecuador and Venezuelan Deferred Bonds were also.
transacted at lower figures. The chief alteration ..ii
prices, however, was in Buenos Ayrean stock, wh;oh,
after opening at 77 to 79, went down to sellers. at
72. The fall was chiefly caused by the unfavoraahle
interpretation put upon the telegraphic drepatch
containing a summary of the news by the Severn,
but it may be taken u also expressive of t},o disgust
felt by the bondholders at the state of d' arkness in
which they. are studiously kept at the %resent most
important juncture. Day after day some move-
ment
has been looked for from t' ne committee, I
who prefer leaving the lbondho' ;dem' affairs,'
it would appear, entirely in the hands of I
the Messrs. Baring, the agents ee the kee, app-.
mrently quite oblivious of the feet that the matter
already i
.rested n the same b Ands for a period oil
20 years, without the attainme• at of any beneficiall
result of the least importance ~ compared with the
larg4interests at stake. The
instance of the present is only another
gross unlit rence with which bond-
holders' committees treat i jwir constituents. It is
known that despatches o I an important character
were received by the pr evious mail, and ought to
have been immediately P• Jblished for the information
of the bondholders. •le it report has reached us
from more than one qua :ter, at various periods during
the last three weeks, r let Capt. Gore, her Majesty's
representative at Br ones Ayres, forwarded home
despatches in which he makes mention of an inter-
view he had had . with a member or members'
of the new admini titration of the republic, when he
Was positively al. Aired that the attention of the go-1
vernment was sr ,riously turned to the financial pat-
tion.l
e, and that in the arrangements
contemplation, stet
t in
the claims of the foreign creditors
would receive prominent notice. How far this re-
port may be, ',rue, neither we, nor the bondholders at
large it arc ma, have any chance of learning ; but if
such 'closest ches did actually come to hand, the non-
publicetion of them is very disgraceful, and the
bondbelde rs who have for a month back been
anxiously awaiting some sign from the custodians of
their in terests, will probably express a decided
opinion upon the matter when opportunity
serves. Meanwhile, the inaction of the coin-'
mittee is visited with reprehension on all
sides. We understand the Buenos Ayrean
•nl,nnoaittop conaislit of two irtaividoode only, a
number glaringlyinsufficient, considering the import-
ance of the crisis. It may also be asked how a cast-
ing vote can be given, in case of any difference of
opinion between them? The truth is, that the
bondholders must look to their own interests, now
that they have experienced the benefits of a passive
position for nearly a quarter of a century. The
detailed accounts by the Severn are impatiently
looked fur by those interested in this long-neglected
debt. The following are the day's sales in this
department :—Buenos Ayres Six per Cents., 771, 72.
Chilian Three per Cents., 69. Danish lirce per
Cents., 1825, 78j, 1. utch Two-and-a-Half m•
Cents., 811, 1, 1 ditto Four per Cent. Certifs., 93,
1. eundor Bonds, 41. Granada Deferred, 91.
Mexican, 32; ditto, for account, 28th May, 31/,
/, t; ditto, New Three per Cents., 251, 25, 1. Pe-
ruvian Actives, 103 ; ditto Deferred Three per
Cents., 621, 82. Russian Four-milk-Half per
Cents., 1031. Sardinian Five per Cents., 981.
Spanish Old Three per Cents., 461, 471; ditto, for
account, 481 ; ditto New Deferred Three per
Cents., 201, 1, 1. ; ditto Committee's Certificates,
21 per cent. Venezuelan Three-and-a-Half per
Cents., 45; ditto Deferred, 16, 161.
The new screw steamer Chusan, belonging to the
Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company,
which is fixed to leave for Sydney end Port Philhp
to-morrow (Saturday morning), will take out 138,000/
iii gold, a portion . of which is shipped by the Austra-
lian gold mining companies lately established here,
whilst the remainderison merchants' amount, and des-
tined for the purchase of the precious metal. The
Chusan also tales out 10 first-class and 21 second-
chum passengers, besides a full cargo of light goods.
This vessel as intended for the service between Sin-
gapore and Sydney, and we hear that she will be
put on that hne immediately upon her arrival out,
although, according to the terms of the contract with
the government, the service is not to commence till
1853. This arrangement will confer a great benefit
on mercantile interests connected with that branch
of our colonial trade. It is anticipated that the line
from Sydney to Singapore will become, to a great
extent, the medium of transmitting the supplies of
Aaatralian gold to this country.
In the market for foreign exchange this after-
noon there was no great change is the rates, and
business was limited. Amsterdam. Virus and
Trieste. Sicily and Lisbon, showed a irking ten-
dency, sad on Paris the rate was fully as Ugh as
before, owing to the improvement reported fria dram
other side. Hamburg,_ on the etoltree wins I
Schilling lower, and Madrid was looking down. It-
prices negotiated were es follows :

The quotation of exchange at Paris on London
hos further ripen to 25.471 for short. Shipments of
coin to this side have alzesdy been prompted by the
high quotation of the exchange, and this fresh ad-
vance will give a further stimulus to the movement.
The causes influencing the continental quotations of
exchange on London have been frequently referred
to in our notices of the Exchange market here.
