chiefly observable in Aberdeen, York and North
:412teid, Berwick, South Eastern, Midland, Lan-
and Yorkshire, Great Northern, and Caledo-
nian. At the present moment prices are not rite
so good as they have been, but the reaction is slight.

SATURDAY EVENING._

There was a considerable improvement perceptible
in the general feeling of the stock markets to-day,
especially towards the close of business, and prices
left off with an upward tendency. It would appear
that parties who have been " bearing " during the
week, and for some weeks past, have now made up
their minds to close their accounts, whilst, on the
other hand, operators for a rise feel sanguine of an
upward movement next week, anticipating that there
will be no sinister news from Paris. Consols ranged
between 1001 and 100:. The closing official quota-
tion was 1001 for money and 100; to Z for the 11th
Nov., but after the regular hours the time
pries stood at 1004. The official business record
embraces the following stocks, viz.:—Three per Cent.
Consols, for money, 1001, 1 • ditto for account, 1001,
Z. Three per Cent. Reduced, 99e, 1. New Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents., 103 1, 1. South Sea
Stock, 1101 ; ditto, Old Annuities, 981. India
Stock, 276. Bank Stock, 224, 2251, 221.
Prices of the unfunded securities are well main-
tained. The March Exchequer Bills are quoted
765. to 78s. prem., and the bine 745. to 775. prem.
India Bonds were dealt in at 855., 875., and 88s.
prem.

In the foreign house the chief alteration in prices
was in Buenos Ayrean Bonds, which experienced a
great rise, reaching 78. This advance is of course
owing to the favourable character of the advice, by
the Tay. The wisdom and liberality of spirit shown
by General Urquiza in recognising the independence
of Paraguay, throwing open the waters of that river
to vessels of all nations, repealing the confiscation of
the property of the ex-dictator Rams, and inaugu-
rating various other valuable -measures, have pro-
duad a very favourable impression. With the re-
moval of the shackles imposed on the commerce of
that noble region, internal and external, the revenues
of Buenos Ayres must be greatly benefited. General
Urquiza is at present taking measures that cannot
fail to augment the customs receipts—a result which
the bondholders will look for with great satisfac-
tion. Spanish Bonds were better to-day, and
Turkish scrip rallied to 8 prem., closing 71 to 8.
The scrip of the new Swedish Mortgage Loan closed
Zto prem. The list of actual bargains is sub-
joined :—Brazilian Old Five per Cents., 1011, 101.
Bums Ayres Six per Cents., 78, 76, 77. Danish
Three per Ceuta, 1823, 82. Dutch Two•and-a-Half
per Cents., 63 ; ditto Four per Cent. Certificates,
96:, Ecuador Bonds, 91. Peruvian Actives, 103.
Russian Five per Cents., 1181; ditto Four-and-a-
Half per Cents., 1041. Spanish Old Three per
Cents., 601, 511; ditto New Deferred Three per
Cents., 231 ; ditto for account, 20th Oct.' 231, ;
ditto Passive (Converted), 61. Turkish Six per
Cent. Loan, 71, 1,8, 74, I, 1 prem. Venezuela
Deferred One per Cent., 161.
A third call of 50f. per share on the shares of the
Dijon and Besancon Railway falls due on the Ist of
November.

The speculators were active to-day in Mincing-lane,
although Saturday is not considered a market-day.
Native Ceylon coffee was bought in largo parcels at
455. 6d. and 465. The latter price, which shows an
advance of ls. to Is. 6d., was fully sustained in the
afternoon. A large business was also done in tea at
improved prices. Sound common Congou was quoted
91d. to 91d., and medium from 10d. to Is. Cotton
was likewise in good demand.
The " lalo of Wight Railway" is about to be car-
ried out, by raising capital to the amount of 240,0001.
in 101. shares. The line, which will be about 22
miles in length, will be carried from Ryde and Cowes
to Newport, and passmg Oodshill, will proceed to
Niton, at the centre of the south side of the island.
Messrs. Fox, Henderson, and Co., have agreed to
construct and stock the line for 230,0001., and work
it for 7 years after its completion, paying 5 per cent.
to the shareholders on the capital paid up till the
opening of the line, and 5 per cent., together with
half the surplus profits, for the 7 years afterwards.
Thu " Cheltenham and Oxford Union Railway,"
for which an act was obtained in the year 1847, has
been revived. The line is intended to connect the
Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway
with Witney, Burford, Northleach, and Cheltenham,
not as en independent line, but as an integral por-
tion of a system of railways occupying the mid.
western railway district of England, and which it is
contemplated hereafter to unite with the Oxford,
Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway Company
and its metropolitan and other extensions, so as to
form one undertaking, in which case the capital in-
vested in the formation of the new line will become
a pert of the stock of the united companies. The'
line is to be worked by the Oxford and Wolver-
hampton Company, and a toting° for the use of the
line is to be so adjusted as to secure a dividend of 6
per cent. per annum, without in any way ituplicat-
tog that company is a guarantee. The capital of
the new company is fixed at 600,0001., in 20/. shares.
The " London and Mid-Western Railway Coln-
pan y " is also being formed with the sanction of the
Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway
Company, and with the intention, so soon as it can
be efftcted, of uniting the two companies into one
undertaking, thus forming one comprehensive scheme
to accommodate the entire mid-western districts

of England. The districts proposed to be sup-
plied with railway accommodation are those of Ux-
6idge, the ChaHoots, the Wycombes, Beaconsfield,
Marlow, Saundcrton, Itiaborough, Aylesbury, Theme,
Wheatley, and Oxford, by the new line, and the
district between Oxford and Evesham, Chipping ,
Norton, Stratford, Worcester, Droitwich, Stourport,
Kidderminster, Stourbridge, Dudley-, Tipton, and
Wolverhampton, by the old line. The total length
of the line is to bo about 58 miles, and the capital is
flied *11,000,0001. sterling in 201. shares. This line
is also to be worked by the Oxford, Worcester, and
Wolverhampton Company, upon a system of tallage.
Our detailed list of the quotations current in the
' market at the close of business this afternoon for
shares in the new undertakings is subjoined, via. :

the movement in specie and bullion this week
has not been unimportant as of late. The imports
are limited to 118000 dollars by the Niagara, and
420,000 dole. by the Pacific, both from New York, and
a few hundred pounde worth of foreign coin by the
Brasil steamer Tay. The total value of these imports
is only about 107,0001.
The custom house account of the exports of the
precious metals direct from London dom.; the weds
ending Thunder last is as follows : Gold coin : to the
Cape, Ascension; Mauritius, Ceylon, Madras, and
Calcutta, 4,737 ounces. Gold dust ; to Hamburg, 20
ounces; to Calais, 20,000 ounces. Silver coin : to
Hamburg, 4,120 ounces ; to the 'Mauritius, 4,000
ounces ; to the Cape, Ascension, Mauritius, Ceylon,
Madras,and Calcutta, 72,000 ounces. Silver bars : TO

Hamburg, 3,900 ounces; to the Cape, Ascension,
Mauritius, Ceylon, Madras, and Calcutta, 27,200.
This gives a total of 24,757 ounces of gold, and
111,220 ounces of silver, of the aggregate value of
about 118,0001.

We have also advice of the shipment of 100,0001.
in specie and bullion by the Calcutta, for the Cape
and bast; 34,450 W. by theTeviot tor the Brazils; and
26,3001. in coin by the Derwentwater fur Hobart
Town. The total export. from the kingdom for the
week are thus raised to nearly 280,0001., and there
is consequently an excess of exports over imports to
the amount of about 170,0001. It is known, how-
ever, that there have been for the last few weeks re-
mittances of gold to Hamburg, which have not been
inserted in the officialCastom-house returns. On
the other hand a large portion, if not the whole of
the shipments direct hem London to the Cape and
the East, consist of the specie cargo of the Calcutta,
which is thus stated twice over.

From Ileraputh's Journal we extrae't the following

week on all the lines in the kingdom :

The Railway limes estimates the gross receipts
for ,the whole kingdom sineo the let of July as fol-
lows:

It thus follows that the amount earned since the
let July is 721. 19s. per mile less than in the same
period of 1851, and 231. 9s. per milo more than in
1830.

These figures show a considerable increase in the
circulation, accompanied by a diminution in the
amount of coin held ; the amouut under the former
head exceeding that of the Free. ding month by
367,60 at; while the decrease in the bullion for tku

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.
MARK-LANE.—THIS DAY.
The supply of English Wheat at market this morning
was not large, but having a very considerable arrival of
foreign on sale, millers were far from eager buyers, as they
hope to be able to purchase on easier terms before the ves-
sels' lay-days 'spire, in which it is not unlikely they may
be disappointed, the trade throughout the country having
assumed a much more healthy appearance. Quotations
must he considered the seine as on Monday last.
Flour was unaltered in ',aloe.
The receipts of Barley have been moderate and sales
were effected without much difficulty at late rates.
The arrivals of Oats have been on a liberal scale ; factors,
nevertheless, were enabled to support last Monday's cur-
rency.
Beans slid Peas were in request and brought quite as
much money.
