The new International Financial Society has been
received with an extraordinary degree of favour. The
price yesterday opened at 8 to 10 prem., touched
101 to 11, and closed at 9to 91. A 201. share in
this undertaking is thus reckoned by the market to
. be worth 291. The 500 francs or 201. shares of the
Cr4dit Mobilier Society of Paris, which has now
, been in operation about ten years, and with which
the proposed establishment is connected, are at
present quoted on the Paris Bourse at 1,420 franca,
or about 571.
It is stated that the other great financial com-
pany, to the formation of which attention has re-
i °putty been directed, will be brought forward to-
morrow. The formal deed of registration was

lodged at the office of the Registrar-General on Mon-
day, and the two first signatures were those of Mr.
Samuel Laing and Mr. Thomas Brassey, who, it is
said, is a shareholder to a large amount. The title
is "The General Company of Credit and Finance
of London." The capital is rumoured to he
fixed at no less than 10,000,0001.,
shares of 1001. each, but it is understood
that the first issue will not exceed 2,500,0001.
This company is associated with a new society, of
the Credit Mobilier order, just organised in Paris
by a body of capitalists unconnected with that
institution. Among the Paris names are said to
be those of Messrs. Ifischoffshefin and Co., T.
Blount and Co., Talabut, Bartholony (chairman of
the Paris and Orleans Railway), Cahen D'Auvers
and Co., M. Pinar(' (director of the Comptoir
d'Escompte of Paris), M. Perier (regent of the
Bank of France), and many other persons of
financial note. The English company will act as
Ithe agent of the French one, and rice versa. The
general management is to be confided to Mr. Laing,
and one field of the company's operations is to be
the development of enterprise in our colonies, and
more especially in our Indian empire. In other
respects the general objects .•f the association are
similar to those of the "International." The
company are said to be precluded, by a clause in
their articles, from all stock-jobbing.

for War whether he had any objection to lay before the
house a copy of the regulathess which had been promised
by his lamented pride:ewe (Mr George Lewis) relative to
the volunteer force.
Earl DE GREY and RIPON said that some misuoder•
stand* appeared to exist upon that point. The late Sir
George Lewis bed not promised to lay the regulation
referred to before parliament, but bad stated that on the
smood reading of the bill (which would be brought this
week before the Howe of Commons) he would state the
nature of those mutations. If the clauses of the bill
should be adopted there would be no objection to lay the
regulations on the table of either house. These regulations
would merelyrefer to the'discipline of the force, for the pur-
pose of determining the amount of efficiency which would
entitle them to the proposed government allowance.
