The share ani-seri'p- market Tab-cned on Saturday
under much depression, with business extremely inactive,
though prices were lower, and offers at lower rates still
might have found acceptance. North British found the
dealers nearly all sellers. It is supposed the directors will
make some report upon the recent disasters, and the gene-
rally unsatisfactory state of the line.
At Liverpool the market was dull and prices rather lower.
Ormakirka declined to 3 p.
A limited business was done at Manchester, and prices
were again lower.
The market at Birmingham was flat. The transactions
were comparatively trifling, and existing prices were barely
maintained.

At Leeds, on Saturday, the business of the Stock Ex-
change was flat. There was some demand for West Riding
Union shares and for North British (Carlisle branch) at late
rates: Ormskirks remained firm; but there was a variable
decline in various other lines; to wit, Leeds and Thirsks
were done at 6s. less; so were Huddersfields and Sheffield,
and Dewsbury branch shares; Huddersfield and Sheffield
fetched 4s. 6d. less; and in three or four other lines transac-
tions took place at a decline of one-twelfth of a pound
(Is. Bd.) upon Friday's rates.
Ti3e Messrs. Allen, of Edinburgh, offer the following judi-
cious remarks in their monthly circular :
"The reduction of the rate of discount by the Bank of England
from 3 to 3, at the termination of last month, so far from occasioning
an improvement in prices, as we expected, had no effect whatever on
the stock-market, which for the last three weeks has been unusually
inanimate. The cause of this, while the tanks are overflowing with
money, and mercantile matters in the most prosperous position, is
variously attempted to be accounted for. The total failure of the po-
tato crop, in particular, is much dwelt upon. We suspect, however,
that the mania of ISO has more to do with it than is generally ad-
mitted, for there is undoubtedly only a certain class of capitalists
in this country who yet invest in railways. These parties hold a
much larger amount of stock, especially of the newer kinds, than
they ten possibly pay the calls on. Demands are constantly
coming In, and to meet them they have no alternative but to
dispose of a portion ef what they hold; in fact, there appears
at present a greater demand for money on railway account than the
public can conveniently spend—and consequently its tightness in that
particular department. The creations of last year may keep matters
in this unsatisfactory state for some time, but there is no fir of the
result. The gross revenue from railways in Great Britain already
amounts to 200,000 f. per week. The profits in meet lines far exceed
i
the sanguine expectations of their original promoters, and the larger
these receipts, the more amply will the undertakings in progress be
supported by railway capitalists. These views are corroborated by
the fact, that nearly all of our own transactions for this month have
evidently been for Investment, and we are inclined therefore to think,
that in the abecnce of speculative operations there Is in reality nearly
as much legitimate buskins going forward as usual. A new Ex-
change Company has just been proposed for Edinburgh, which
appears under favourable auspices."

PROVINCIAL. - BIsHojtTOKE AND SALISBURY
(Masco RAILWAY, CONNIrYI.O welsh THY. Sorts. WFATSILNI., -H was
said at Bushopstoke, this week, that this branch line would open in
about one month from the present time, that part of the works which
progressed so tardily in the epring and summer having now many
additional hands thereon, the deep cuttings near to Dean are all but
completed, and the station is progreseing rapidly. Many men we
obeerved at work near to Bishopstoke station, bringing the branch up
to the main line. By the Ist of November (weather permitting), it is
hoped the communication from London throughout to Salisbury, by
rad, will be open. The public make great complaints against the
South Western Company, at their taking off two out of four of their
third.claia carriages, such going but twice now per day, instead of
four time., as heretofore. After granting that boon for several
months, we hope the company will we the propriety of again putting
them on; by so doing, they will be ultimately gainers instead of
losers.
On Saturday afternoon a public meeting was held at
Sevenoaks, Marquis Camden in the chair, to consider the recent
change in the fares on the South-}astern line, and what steps should
be taken to secure the best line of railway communication with the
metropolis. The meeting was attended by most of the landowners
and gentry of the neighbourhood. Mr. Wilkinson, Deputy Chairman
of the Brighton and South Wort Railway Company, with one of the
solicitors and the engineer to that company, attended to explain their
plans with reference to the Atmospheric Mid Rent line, thrown out
bat year, which he said the company was determined to try again,
with improvements, and on the locomotive principle. After Mr.
Wilkinson, and Mr. Sheered, the engineer, bad given some explana.
Mon of the company's plans, and Mr. Cornell, the agent for the South-
FA.tern, had been heard, the Right Hon. J. C. ilerries moved the
following resolution, which was earned by acclamation : "That a line
of railway from London, and from the Croydon Railway through
Bromley and Sevenoske to Tunbridge, will be in every respect the
most advantageous for the interests of the public in general, and of
I~esspnty in particular. That the line proposed to be executed by
Mae London and Brighton and South Coast Railway, appears to us to
be better calculated to secure these advantages, and to serve the in-
terests and convenience of Seeenoaks and its neighbourhood, than
any other plan that has been hitherto proposed." The noble chair.
man, in putting the resolution, exp .rmsed an opinion somewhat differ-
ent from the meeting, as he thought the gentlemen present had not
cufficiently considered the improbability of Parliament sanctioning
any lines next Pension but those proposed by the South-Eastern Com-
pany. 'This difference of opinion did not prevent the company from
voting the noble marquis thanks for his conduct in the chair ; and then
the meeting separated.
EXTENSION OF THE STATION AT NORWIen.-The Inman-
ing traffic which is almost every new day developing itself on the '
Norfolk line of railway, has rendered a considerable extension of the
terminus at Norwich absolutely necereary. The quantity of Amin& ;
Huai produce transmitted from the various corn-growing districts
throughout the county to the metropolitan markets is also steadily
Increasing. During the last few months, 24,432 beasts, 21,509 sheep, ,
6,272 pigs, and 5,796 tensor 87,096 quarters of grain have been con-
veyed to the metropolis. The passenger traffic has likewise conside-
rably increased ; upwards of thirty trains either active or depart from
the Thorpe Station every day. During the last month, expreea traim
have been running to London and back the same day, performing the
Journey there and back, a distance of 252 miles, in S hours and 16
minutes. The London morning Journals now arrive in Norwich by
12 o'clock, and at Yarmouth in about an hour afterwards.
LYNN AND DEILEHAIL-The works on this line between
Narburgh and Sweffharn are progressing very rapidly, under the
superintendence of Mr. Hall, the resident engineer. The contractors
for the line, Moan. Frost, Hay, and Mathewson, have upwards of 600
men employed.
LYNN AND ELY.-The first experimental trip on the Lynn
and Ely Railway was performed on Friday from Ely to Detention.
The train conveyed • number Of the directors and their friends. It is
expected that the line will be opened for traffic in a few weeks.
SHILEWBRt KT AND RIESIINOHLY.-The works on this
line are to be commenced immediately. The contracts for rule and
chairs have beta taken on wry favourable terms ; and we understand

Briao: and Gloster.
