aspect, quotations of the leading stocks generally
ruling a shade higher than they left off yesterday.
On the whole, the business transacted hu been at
rates a trifle more favourable to the sellers, but the
transactions are not upon an extensive scale, and
within the last hour the general feeling has become a
suds weaker. Londan and &nth Westerns,
Erightons, and Midlands are steady, but South East-
ems and Lancashire and Yorkshires are scarcely so

MONEY MARKET.

THIS DAY.

A renewal of the purchases of Three per Cent.
stock 01 account of the Cammi,sionere for the Reduc-
tion of the National Debt, gave a temporary sti-
mulus to the market for the home funds this
morning, end prices improved a shade, b 4 with
the cessation of this extra business, quotations fell
beck to yesterday's range, at which they remain.
With the exception of these operations, the market
presents not the least feature of interest. Of a;:ecu-
lative movement there is none in this departmciit.

[THREEPENCE.

his colleaguts, it day by day him mos mote and
more evident that the unfortunate shareholders
witl receive little benefit from the hives igation.
The prospects of the lawyers, however, continue
satisfactory. We wait, with roma impatience, t 3 see
from what un,lertakin; any satisfactory return of
deposits may issue."
With these remarks of the Rnilemry Times we fully
agree. Whatever retiree may he ken a, ith Mr.
Chadwick, the sooner the shareholders come to teems
with the remaining directors, the 1),-eer. The 'Madrid
and Valencia shareholders are, Ke believe, in a
worse condi:ian than any other company under the
Winding-up Act, because they have some 20,0001.
in the clutches of the court, which so aura as it is left
there will ba eaten up by the *Amite of the
court—the efficial manager, the official manager's
solicitor, and the whole host of solicitors. There
is some safety where there are no feeds in
hind, for no a the official manager,' are begin-
ning to ask the inestion, how they and the rest
of the cormorarts are to be paid? Tei Tring, Reed-
ing, and Basingstoke sl:areholdms were ill-aavised
enough not to come to terms with the directors; the
company was first made bankrupt, every creditor paid
in full with intermit, and a number of ryeculativo law
proceedings a ere cart led on out of the common funds.
Then the balance was brought under the Wind-
ing-up Act, but the shareholdirs becoming a lee by
experiet,ee immediately entered into a comp. ,misc,
and divided what remained, or ur.til this dey they
would have had nothing. Theirs is the only case as
yet of any money being returned.
Bernet:l)o under the name of " Vates" has been
holding up railway prevents, and foretelling the
prices share-a are to reach. Thus London and North
IVestern sha-ce, as he sap, are in May to be worth
1401., and so on with others. These flattering hopes
are not, however, to be ii.dulged uneentradiend, fn
to-day we have another pimphlet, "Votes' Railway
Prospects for 1831 investigated," which throws cold
water on every statement of Vats. It stems to us,
neverthel, as, that the tide is rather setting with Votes,
and his predictions made in December are partly on
their way to accomplishment.

Console opened at yesterday's range, MI to 4, both
for money and the ivcount, improved to 961 for cash,
and are now called 961 to 4, and 964 for thu 12th

Toe exchanges and prices of bullion at Paris re-
_Ain as last quo ed.
The differential duties imposed by Chile on flags
not allowing tree navigation has told well in Fearer.
It is seen that instead of French bottoms being
freighted to carry copper ore from Copiapo to Swan-
sea, English ani: Netherlar.da ships will be freighted
even from France to save the extra 10 per cent. on
value of goods, and one dollar per ton dues. Tee
French are calling out for a•i amendment of their.
navigation laws, being fearful too lest an order in
council may be issued against them in England,
imposing differential dues.

THE TAX ON CARRIAGES.—The coach-builders
throughout the United Kingdom are taking active futures
to secure • repeal of the tax upon carriages. A leolic
muting of the muter coach builders and workmen of Yak
was held at the White Sean Inn, on Wennesdey lest, when
the subject was thoroughly diseweed. A memorial to the
Lord, Commissionen of the Te miry was adopted, showing
that the trade of ciachmaking is at present, and has been for
urinal ycan poet, la a state of severe depression ; and that
the well-being of not fewer than 100,000 persons, chiefly
of the working classes, is dep ndeLt upon it. The memo-
rialists allege that they are suffering from the eperatiou of
the tax upon private carriages, which hes a most injurious
ogee upon their trade, by restricting the use of carriages;
sod that they have been further injured by the exception
from duty of a class of low priced carriages, whereby the
public are induced to substitu'e them for carriages requiring
more elaborate workmanship. The memorialists having
shown that the tax on the one hand, and the exemptions on
the other, prevent the expaesioo cf their trade, sod stimu-
late the growth of litigation, fraud, and deception, they pray
for a mcd;fication of the present tax and futile abation at
the existing exemptions, by tie adoption of a uniform tax
of 40s. upon ell four-wheeled private carriages, and of 20e.
upon all two wheeled private curium—York/Aire Gasette.
