LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, N(WEMBER 11, 1853.

its present deficient means of intercommunication,
rather than give a stimulus to the progress of that
magnificent section of territory by the energetic intro-
duction of a rod railway system. Many months back
when money was cheap, and when a 4i per cent.
guarantee from the East India Company would have
sufficed t...) raise double the capital required, and to
have mriintained the shares at a high premium, the
court disgusted the applicants by repeated delays.
Finally it was determined that the matter should be
referred to the Governor-General of India, although
every possible information was to be obtained in
England as to the wants of the territory in
question ; and when, after further useless delays,
the court was reluctantly induced to give a
guarantee on the capital required, the money
market is in so unsettled a state that it is found
impossible to raise the money. It remains to be
seen how the parties entrusted with the canstruc
tion of the extended line will now proceed, seeing
that the mouey cannot be raised.
Land shares to-day were quiet, with little altera-
tion in prices. The transactions aro chiefly con-
fined to the shares of the Australian Agricultural and
Peel River Companies, neither of which showed any
variation of importance. Bank shares were steady,
except those of the Union Bank of Australis, which
were quoted 11. lower. Crystal Palace shares closed
the same as yesterday, at 15-16 to 1 1.16 prem.
The 501. shares of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam
Company (with 25L paid), have been dealt in at 38.

MINES.

THU/LSDAY
Business in the market for home mining stocks to-
day has been of an ordinary character. The British
Iron Company's shares are quoted 11. higher. The
sales reported are South Caradon at 300 ; West
Caradon, 235, 240; Beaceau. 100 ; West Providence,
32 ; Great Wheal Alfred, 321, 371; Bryntail,
.31;
East Buller, 31, 1 ; Porkellis United, 71 ; Gilmer,
51.
The gold mining share market presented no
change of importance, business being dull. The
Agua Fria Company have received further advioes
from California (for which reference may be made to
our advertising columns). The shares of the Great
Nugget Vein Company experienced no improvement
on the official announcement given in our paper of
this morning, to the effect that the London agents
are authorised in December to return 20s. per share,
less 2 per cent. premium of exchange, on the 21. paid-
up shares, with a dividend of 2s. on these shares:
also of ls. per share on shares of 10s. paid up. At
4 o'clock, Colonial Gold wore quoted 7-16 to 9.16
prem. ; Port Phillip,'- to die.; British Australian,
9-16 to 7-16 die.; Great Nugget, A to i prem.;
Nouveau Monde, 5-16 to 7-16 prem. ; Agua Fria,9.l6
to 11.16 prem.
The shares of the Old Australian Copper Company,
and Imperial Braillian Company, after their late
rise, are again declining. St. John del Rey, on the
other hand, have again risen 11. The shares of the
New Linares Miuing and Smelting Company have
been much enquired for lately, and large numbers
have been bought at par. All the West Indian shares
are much out of favour, owing to the very un-
favourable report issued by the Metcalfe Company.
The shares of this company have fallen to k to
prem.

as follows :—Mizen Head, to k die.; Lewis Hill

The market for L States stocks has been ex-
tremely dull this week, owing to the unsatisfactory
accounts received from New York. A few scattered
transactions form the only business, and there is an
absence of demand. Under these circumstances, quo-
tations are in most cases merely nominal. Present
prices are thus reported by Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and
Co., for transmiamon by the steamer of to-morrow:

Annexed are the latest reports from contiaental
bourses, u received by Mr. Reuter's express :
Amsterdam, Wednesday, closing prices :—Dutch Four
per Cents., Wli ; ditto Two-and-a-Half per Cents.,
61 7-16; Spanish Deferred Three per Cents.,
21 7-16; the Coupons, 5 6.16; Austrian Five per
Cent. Mekallics, 76k. Peruvian New, 69g. Portu-
guese New, 37k. Mexican New, 24. Granada
Active, 19 ; ditto Deferred, 81. These prices show a
general and rather decided fall. Austrian stock
seems to have especially suffered. Paris: closing
prices of this day, for money : Three per Cent.
Renter, 73.70; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents.,
99.00 ; Bank Shares, 2,846. These prices of the
French funds show a rally from the opening quota-
tions of the day, which were depressed. Compared
with the final rates of yesterday, the Three per
Cents. show a decline of 20c., whilst the Four-and-a-
Half per Cents. are unchanged.

THIS DAY.-7-Two o'CLocx._

The English stock market opened steadily, but has
since become slightly weaker. Prices now range 1
per cent. worse than they closed yesterday. The
decline appears to be owing to the arrival in the City
of the official Se. Petersburg Journal of the 2nd
instant, containing the manifesto of the Czar. The
Emperor of Russia, in this important document,
which is coached throughout in terms calculated to
put the question with Turkey in a purely religious
point of view, reminds his people of his endeavours
to obtain satisfaction from the Porte for its bad faith
in breaking former engagements, with which
view his armies had occupied the Princi-
palities. The other Foreign Powers, the
manifesto proceeds to observe, united in efforts to
bring the Turks to reason, but the answer to all these
attempts has been a declaration of war by the Porte,
coupled with lying (or insidious) accusations against
Russia. It is, therefore, the duty of the Czar to
have recourse altogether to arms; and the
document winds up with an appeal to the God of
Battles for assistance in his efforts on behalf of the
orthodox faith, coupled with a quotation from the
Scriptures!
Consols opened at 941 for account, and have been
purchased as high as 941 for account, and 941 for
money. The present quotation is 94 to for account
and 941 to for money. The Three per Cents.
Reduced have been dealt in at 921 to 931; the
Throe•and•a-Quarter per Cents., 95 to 952; Ex-
chequer Bills, 2s. to as. prem.; India Bonds, 2s. prem.
Foreign stocks are very dull. Spanish has receded
to 211 to 1; and Mexican is quoted 251 to 1. Russian
Five per Cents. have been dealt in at 1121 to 113;
Portuguese Five per Cents., 441; ditto Four per
Cents., 411 Spanish Old Three per Cents., 441;
Dutch Your per Cents., Hi.
