An extraordinary general meeting of the National

comy..
Apan project of a novel character is announced, under
the title of the " Sunken Vessels Recovery Com-
pany," with a capital of 60,0001., in 101. shares. The
object proposed is the working of Captain S. R.
Smith's patented plan for raising and recovering
sunken vessels and their cargoes, and other sub-
merged property, and for "general submarine ope-
rations. It is proposed to build two vessels, of about
700 tons each, for the "lifting process," but these
vessels will be so constructed as to be applicable for
the coal or other trades. Captain Smith is to receive
a tenth part of the company's capital, but not until
a dividend of 10 per cent. shall have been paid. The
undertaking is brought out under the Limited Lia-
bility Act.

WZDWZIDLT IVININO.

The funds declined to 4 per cent. this morning,
owing to the delay in the signature of the Treaty of
Peace. In the afternoon, however, a recovery took
place, and the closing quotations were a shade better
than those of yesterday. Upon the whole, the market
is steady, although business is very languid.
In the discount mareet, the approach of Saturday's
instalment on the new loan has not yet occasioned
any pressure whatever.
Console, which closed yesterday at 923 for the 10th
of April, declined this morning to 921 to 4, and
were last quoted 921 to 4. For money the float
price was 921 to 4. The official business report is as
follows:—Three per Cent. Consols, for money. 921,4,
4,4, 4,4 ; ditto, for account, 10th April, 921, I, 4,4, a.
Bank Stock, for account, 218. Consol Scrip, 24
pram. Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Exchequer Bonds,
falling payable in 1858, 984, 981.

prem.; the June bills, Is. dis. to Is. prem.; Ex-
chequer Bonds, 984- to 1; and India Bonds, Ils. to
Bs. dies.

drooping tendency, and closed to-day at 974 to 4.
The Four per Cents, were finally quoted 1001 to 1.
Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. are still
rather offered. Sardinian Bonds met with numerous
transactions, and fully maintain their late improve-
ment. Spanish stocks were quiet, but there is still
• disposition to effect purchases of these securities.

short; at Hamburg, 13.71; and at Berlin, 6.23.
Sambre and Meuse Railway shares experienced a
farther considerable rise to-day, advancing this after
noon to 124, owing to a statement that the Northern
of France Railway Company has offered this com-
pany a guarantee of 5 per cent. This offer is pre-
sumed to be prompted by the wish of the Northern
of France Company to defend its position against the
attempts which are being made by an influential
party, in oonnexion with the Eastern of France Rail-
way and other lines, to form an independent system
of railway communication with Belgium.
Bank of Egypt shares were quoted this afternoon
