Two oTioci.

The weekly court at the Bank of England having
broken up without raising the rate of discount,
and a rise of per cent. having occurred this morn-
ing at Paris in the French Bente. (owing,
no doubt, to the official news of
the capture of Puebla by the French
army with 18,000 prisoners), the English funds to-
day show steadiness at the closing quotations of
yesterday. There is, however, no improvement.
English railways have experienced no general move-
ment. The transactions iu Mexican Bonds have been
characterised by a considerable degree of excitement,
and a great advance has taken place, owing to the
Mexican news. A relapse in Greek Bonds forms
the next chief feature of business in the foreign
stock market.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Henke opened at
69fr. 55c., but receded to 69fr. 45c., showing, how-

money, and 92 to 1, ex div., for the account

lows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 911,1,

owing to the capture of Puebla. The last trans-

about 24 per cent. since yesterday afternoon.
Italian stocks are also better, and Egyptian

about 1 per cent. on realisations. Some of the

I 15th January next.
a private meeting held on the 17th April, at
Mr. Samuel Morley's office, in Wood-street, ,for the
purpose of considering the beet means of extending
the scheme set on foot by Mr. Alderman Waterlow
for providing the industrial classes of London with
healthy homes at a remunerative profit to the
capitalist, it was considered that, although the
results obtained in the erection of " Langbourn
Buildings" were satisfactory and encouraging,
especially in a pecuniary point of view. is would be
necessary, in order to induce the public to invest
large sums in undertakings of a similar nature,
that the experiment, successful in that instance,
should be repeated on a larger sca'e before it would
be thoroughly understood that such buildings could
be made to pay. With this object in view,_a meet-
iug was held 111 the Long Parlour the Mansion-
bowie, on Saturday, June 6, under the presidency
of Lord Stanley, M.P., when, after a careful consi-
deration of the financial statement, it was deter-
mined to form a public company, under the Limited
Liability Act, withs capital of 25,0001. or 50,0001.,
to be invested in the erection of a seriee 0: blocks of
the improveddxellings 14,0001 was subscribed
before the meeting broke up. Subscriptions are
now invited for the balance required to complete
the proposed capital. The provisional committee
are Lord Stanley (chairman), Mr. Alderman Finnis,
Mr. Alderman Waterlow, Mr. Henry Edwards,
Mr. Samuel Morley, and Mr. Travers Buxton.
An influential deputation, headed by Lord
Alfred Churchill, M.P., Mr. Tite, M.P., Mr.
Marsh, M.P., Mr. Vansittart, M.P., and Mr.
Potts, M.P., had an interview with the Duke of
NewcaaLle, at the Colonial-office, on the subject of
forming North Australia into a separate colony.
The desirableness of the home government taking
the initiative in the matter, and at once forming a
distinct colony, to be presided over by a governor,
with judges and other officials appointed by the
home authorities, was specially urged on his grace
by Sir Charles Nicholson, Bart, on the ground
that capitalists who might be disposed to embark
their funds in the new colony would do so with
much greater confidence under proper security and
a valid title from a direct representative of
the imperial government To this suggestion
the Duke of Newcastle in effect replied that
there could be no use in appointing •
governor and staff, as there would, in reality, be
uo people to govern, and that the home govern-
ment would, therefore not be justified in asking a
vote of 3,0001. to 5,001 k. per annum for such a pur-
CsLHis grace, however suggested that it might
airable for the Queensland authorities to'send
• special commissioner from Brisbane, to regulate
the formation and superintend the progress of the

' proposed new colony. He also stated that his
original idea and intention was to annex North
Australia absolutely to Queensland, intimating at
the same, however, that he considered the time
would arrive in the course Of two or three years,
when a separate colony would be obliged to be
foulard. Meantime the duke did not hesitate to
say that emigrants may go there and settle on the
laissez faire system, although, as already notioed,
he ultimately contemplates the interference and
protection of the home authorities.
A general court of proprietors of the East India
Company was held yesterday, Colonel Sykes, M.P.,

Tai Gain SILL SNAPSNT AOAIN. —The exis-
tence of this extraordinary object of curiosity, if sot also of
tumor, has received additional corroboration in the sub-
joined letter, which has been received in Liverpool from one
of the officers of the Afi limo mail steamer Athenian :
" Caps Palmas, May 16, 1863.—A1l doubts may now be set
at rest about the Great Sea Serpent. On the 6th May the
African royal mail steamer Athenian, on her passage from
Tenerife to Bathurst., fell in with one. About 7 a.m.
John thapple, quartermaster, at tie wheel, saw something
fleeting towards the ship. fle called the attentioe of the
Rev. Mr. Smith and soother parenger, who were on deck
at the time, to it. On searing the steamer it woe dm-
ba a bugs snake, about 100 feet low, of • dark
brown odour, head sad Mil out of water, the body slightly

body was about the site of our mainmast, —Timm.
