fiATUZILIT Evattrw
There were a few sales to-day in English dividend
mining stocks, and thus a very brisk week's business
has been brought to a close. Levant, 160; North
Pool, 295, 300; Cern Brea, 79, 80; Condurrow, 1131;
Trelawney, 38, 60 ex. div. ; Alfred Console, 16.
The gold mining share market was again better,
although business was not brisk. Prices generally
exhibit an improvement all round.

Subjoined is a copy of the new resolution of the
committee relative to new mining companies.
Resolved—That after the let of February next the shares
Of no new mining company wIU be quoted In the offieial list
on/est they be registered and,deliverable by transfer ; but
the committee reserve to themselves the power of marking
the shares of each companies as have fixed an early day ter
registration.—By order of the Committee,
Jan. 19. ISM. (Signed) G. Wm, See.
Complaints are madeof the vague manner in which
the resolution is couched, and which has led many
parties to infer that it would strike most of the new
gold mining companies now on the list. Upon further
discussion, however, it appears that by the term " new
mining companies," the Stock Exchange Committee
does not contemplate interfering with such companies
as are already officially marked, but that the proposed
new nil, will only apply to future projects of the
kind, and, it is presumed, to those already on the
market, but for which no settling day has yet been
fixed. As the action of the new rule will thus not
be retrospective, its range of utility will be mate-
rially lessened, u many of the adventures actually
upon the official list—and which, as at present con-
stituted, are palpable illegal—will escape, whilst the
risk of forgeryin all these eases remains undiminished.
The committee, however, are adopting other mea-
sures to enforce conformity with their regulations
on the part of these new companies. The Golden
Mountain Mining Company has been struck off
the official list, owing to its being discovered that
the repruentations made when a settling. day was
applied for, by which the committee were induced to
believe that the requisite amount of capital had been
subscribed for and paid up, were incorrect. The re-
gulations enforced by the house before a settling day
is appointed for any of the new companiesrequire that
a certain proportion of the first payment shall be ac-
tually in hand, the undertaking preliminarily con-
stituNd in due course, the scrip ready for deliver', as
well ss other points; and we hear the committee
have determined to go over the entire list of the
new companies now officially. quoted, and
institute a strict examination into the accu-
racy of the representations made on behalf
of each of them. Such companies as may be
found to have not complied with the regulations of
the house, in other words, such as have obtained a
settling by false representations, will be immediately
struck off the list, and in this way it is expected the
official list will be weeded to a considerable
extent of some schemes that have lately succeeded in
creeping in.

TEEM DAY.—Two o'CLocw.

Business in the gold mining
share market to-day. Prices opened steadily, but,
with the =option of Waller shares, which have aga►n
been run up, quotations have since become a shade
weaker. Australian Cordillera are lower.

Australian Agricultural shares mark 232 to 240 ;
South Australian Land, 61 to 62; North British
Australian, 11 to If prem.

ExCheqUer Bills remain depressed. The price
to-day, however, was rather more settled at 58.. to
61s. pram.
Foreign stocks were generally better, in sympathy
with the improved feeling observable in the other
departments of the Exchange, but business in these
securities is also restricted. Sales are thus marked:—

We have received from the committee of Mexican
bondholders a copy of the report which they have
drawn up for their constituents, preliminary to the
meeting on Wednesday next. The document in
question will be obtainable by the bondholders at the
publisher's on Mooday,and contains much important
intelligence affecting the interests of the debt. The
committee,. it appears, estimate the gross produce of
the Mexican customs revenue belonging to the
foreign debt in 1851 and 1852 at fully 2,018,552 dole.
On the other hand the receipts here, as remitted to
Colonel Facie and the Messrs. Baring*, are
stated at 1,474,346 dols., leaving 544,205
dole. still to be accounted for. Of this
at least 73,900 dots. are at the disposal
of Mr. Falconnet in Mexico, and about 150,000 dole.
are stated to be in the hands of the Mexican govern-
ment. Some part, it is stated, has also probably gone
to pay the expenses of the financial agency in Lon-
don, and for freight and insurance. The revenue for
the month of December is expected by the next
'packet, which will probably reduce the balance to leis
ithan 250,000 dole., the greater part of which, say the
committee, is no doubt existing in the custom-houses,
and in the hands of agents in the shape of duty bills
not yet due. The chief question for the bondholders
Ito get answered is, what has been the exact revenue
for the last two years, and what has become of it?
To arrive at a satisfactory answer, they. will peruse
the report with attention.
Proprietors of the debenture shares of the Norfolk
Railway Company have received notice that the
third call of 11. per share must be paid by the 21st
February.
Australian Agricultural shares were more offered
to-day, and receded to 230 to 240. The chief in-
gully was for the shares of the Union Bank of Aus-
tralia, which closed buyers at 75. After the official
hours, the shares of the London Chartered Bank of
Australia were quoted 33 to 4 prem. ; the English,
Scottish, and Australian, 11 to If prem.; whilst
other Australian banks were also firmer. North
British Australian shares closed 11 to 11 prem.
Sales have been made of Colonial Bank shares, at
161 ex div.; London and Westminster Bank, 361 ;
Provincial flank of Ireland, 481; East and West
India Docks, 169 ex div. ; St. Katharine's Docks,
100 with div., and 98, and 973 ex div. ; Australian
Royal Mail Steam, 41 ; British American Land, 48,
51; Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 87, 88.
The movement of the precious metals this 'week
has again been highly important. The imports have
been as follows :—By the Parana, from the West
Indies, 800,000 dollars; by the Anna Maria, 23,290
ounces of gold : and by the Neptune, 17,329 ounces,
both from Sydney ; by the Calphurnia, from Port
Philip, 56,177 ounces of gold; by H.M.S. Swift,
from the Pacific, about 800,000 dollars ; by the Tay,
from the Brazils, 2191. in specie (besides 20,0001.
worth of precious stones) ; and by the Ripon, from
Alexandria, 3,4001., of which 1,0001. was from Aus-
tralia. Thesemturns show a total import of about
710,0001. sterling.
The shipments have also been large.
The Custom-house statement of the quantities of the
precious metals exported direct from London during
the week ending Thursday last is ss follows: Gold
coin: to Port Phillip, 5,000 ounces ; to Hamburg,
33,630 oz.; to Belgium, 5,400 oz.; to Boulogne,
2,000 oz. and 1,0001.; to Port Adelaide, 10,0001.
Gold bar:: to Calais, 15,000 oz. ; to Belgium, 4,000
ot. ;to Hamburg, 36 oz. Gold dust : to Rotterdam,
600 oz. Silver coin: to Mauritius, 5,0001.; to Bon-
love, 1,200 oz.; to Hamburg, 730 oz.; to Belgium,
4,000 oz. Silver bars: to Hamburg, 48,210 oz. ; to
' Boulogne 19,200 oz. •, to Dunkirk, 3,600 oz. • to
Bombay, 123,000 oz. We have here a total of 65,288
ounces, and 11,0001. in gold, and 199,970 ounces and
5,0001. in silver, of the aggregate value of nearly
320,0001.

The other exports comprised 226,0831. by the Pe-
ninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Indus, for
Alexandria and the East; 10,0001. in specie by the
Madrid, for Lisbon ; 10,0001. in specie by the Orinoco
for the West Indies; 80,0001. in coin by the James
L. Bogert, and 65,0001. by the Aden, both for Port
Phillip; and 25,0001. by the Peat" and 25,0001.
by the Maitland, both for Sydney. The total exports
from the kingdom for the week are consequently
raised to full 730,0001. It thus appears that the
imports and exports of the week have been pretty
equally balanced. A portion of the shipments to
Australia recorded in the London Custom-house re-
turn, however, is probably included in the supple-
mental exports above given, and is consequently
stated twice.

From Herapatles Journal we extract the following
analysis of the railway traffic returns for the week

THIS DAY.—Two o'CLocz.

An improved feeling prevailed in the stock market
at the commencement of business this day, but sales
have since been renewed in the English funds and
railway stocks, and prices have fallen back. Console
were at one time purchased at 991 for cash, but have
since declined to 99/ to for money, and 994 to
for 10th February. The Three per Ceuta. Reduced
mark 100 to I, ; ;the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.,
1034 to ; Bank Stock, 226 to 2274; Exchequer
Bills, 58s. to 61s. prem.; India Bonds, 675. to 71s,
prem.
With the exception of Spanish stocks, in which
'sales have been pressed, and a decline established,
foreign bonds show little change, this department
being altogether destitute of movement. Spanish
Old Threes have been dealt in at 461; ditto Deferred,
221 to 12; ditto Passive, 61; the Coinmittee's Certifi-
cates, 41 per cent.; Sardinian, 934; Dutch Fours,

SMITHFIELD MARKET.—THIS DAY.
The number of Beasts is smaller than on Monday last;
however, the quality of the supply was improved. Trade is
not brisk, but prices are fully as pod as on that day. The
supply of Sheep is very short, and consequently they are
quite as dear as they have been of late, but buyers will not
submit to an advance except in few instances. Good
Calves are scarce, and are sold dearer than on Friday. Our
foreign supply consists of 686 Beasts, 1,280 Sheep, and
116 Calves; from Scotland, 900 Beasts; Norfolk and
Suffolk, 1,800; and 600 from the Northern and Midland
Counties.
