the French loan through Messrs. Rothschild and
Sons, and Messrs. Bating, Brothers, and Co.
An interesting point in connexion with the income
tax assessment has just been solved by the Board of
Inland Revenue. The interest on the obligations of
the Great Luxembourg Company not being at present
paid oat of profits, the company are informed by the
Board that there is no necessity for their deducting
the income tax from such payments, but that the re-
cipients of the interest are required to return it for
assessment.

The Customs of the port of London having refused
to clear outward vessels bound to the coast of Africa
with water on board for the purpose of ballast, in
consequence of their interpretation of the treaties for
the suppression of the slave trade, Messrs. Olfur and
Gammon have made representation to the Treasury
on the subject, as this practice was permitted at the
ports of Liverpool and Bristol upon bond given by tho
owners. The forms of bond and certificate which
were formerly in use at Liverpool and Bristol are
accordingly to be extended to the port of London.
The dry dock earnings of the Southampton Dock
Company for the six months ending the 30th ult.

The annexed weekly report on the freight market,
for which we are indebted to Messrs. Oflor and
Gammen, contains several items of interest:
. .

Shipping business continues very Mill, the demand for tonnage
being-limited in the lace of an abundant supply. The ORDCIII of largo
ships bid the prerent stagnant state Cl affaird peculiarly, us the
pleymard for vessels of large claw in scarce and unrerourierative. The
transport service is virtually elated, the last sailing vessel taken up
being at 14.. lid. per register ton, less than halt the price paid at the
eoausenconent or the war. Tho emigration trade is very limited,
the demand for recruiting the army and for agricultural labour at this
emcee or the year materially operating against this ranee or employ-
ment for the vessels of large tonnage. The Emigration Commis.
Loners are eharterlog at the rate 01 one ship per week. teemed of
t hree or four, and the prima obtained by the shipowner have fallen
from ler. b. 6d. per head in December last to 121. 17e. dd., the rate
paid last week for the Nimroud true Southampton to Adelaide.
Exports have fallen off considerably, en:modally to the Au.tralian
tolosties, so long the leading market for our shippirg. For Australia
shipments arc now made at about the rates curreir before the disco-
very of gold, the increased exports occasioned by the growth of
the colony being more than met by the increase In unemployed
tonnage. During bat week the remelts enured anti cleared tor the

TUESDAY EilDll3llo.
The English stock market to-day opened steadity
but subsequently became rather flatter, and, though
stock was in request for delivery, prices closed a per
cent. lower than yesterday. Business was limited,
and the slight feeling of flatness prevalent was
attributed to less favourable but unconfirmed ru-
mours relative to the position of affairs at the seat ot
war.

The scrip of the new French loan was quoted 21 to
21 prem.
Consols were first marked 94, and closed at 901 to
91, both for mosey and the Bth August. The offi-
cial business report is as follows:—Three per Cent.
Consols, for money, 91/, 90/, 91/, 901; ditto, for
account, Bth August, 91/, 901; Three per Cents.
Reduced, 91/, 911, 92, 911; New Three per Cents..
921,2-2, 2, 2 ; Thirty Years' Annuities, expiring in
January, 1860, ; India Stock, '231; Rank Stock,
214, 213/, 215; Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Ex-
chequer Bonds, falling payable in 1859, 101.
Turkish bonds continue to be actively dealt in. but
this afternoon experienced an unfavourable re-action.
The tone of last night's debate on the Loan Conven-
tion caused the stock to open at the improved quota-
tion of 911 to I, but tales subsequently carried the
price down to 90/ to 1, the clo,iug quotation,
which shows a fall of about 11 per cent., as com-
pared with the final range of yesterday. Some oper,—
tions for lower prices appear to have been induced by
the late rapid rise, and, although the bill in parlia-
ment is considered sate, many holders have shown a
disposition to realise their profits. Russian Four-
and-a-Ralf per Cents. and Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. were quoted 1 per cent. higher. Gene-
rally, foreign dividend-paying stocks show &limns.
