RAILWAY NEWS.

Yesterday the share market had the aspect of
regular business, without much animation. Ambergatea
were in favour; North British firm. Out of about 100
bridges on that line, write the authorities, only live have
been destroyed. A rather considerable business was done in
East Indian scrip, as it is understood on good authority that
a committee of the India board will sit to-day for a final
consideration of the subject of Indian railways, when no
doubt is entertained that the decision will be in favour of
the East India Company's line, and of the guarantee of the
4 per cent. return to the adventuring shareholders embarking
their capital in it.
There was but little business done in the Liverpool share
market, except in some ser;ps. Ormskirks continued to
fluctuate: they closed 31 p. The settlement in them will
now soon be fixed, as the certificates will be out the
27th inst. Dudley' improved to 4 prem. The old stocks
were firm. .

The Manchester market was very dull : prices were again
rather lower.
A tolerable amount of business was done at Birmingham ;
in fact the general tone of this market (says our correspon-
dent) has been for some time gradually assuming a more
healthful aspect than it presented three of four months ago.
There were a considerable number of sales in the Birming-
ham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley, the latest quotations
being. at 31 p., a shade lower than Wednesdays prices.
Birmingham and Oxford Junctions were done at 4 p., Stour
Valleys 4 p., North Staffordshire., 2 p., Shropshire Unions,
3s. 9d. dis., West Riding Union, 265. 3d. p Ambergete,
Nottingham, and Boston, 1 p. and South Staffordshire Junc-
tion at Ip.
At Leeds there was a very fair amount of business done ;
and although some lines rather receded in price, there was
not so extensive a decline as on the previous day. Prices,
ronnierlililyt„,, werep,n firm. ;
