The above table does not show that marked is-
provement is the prime of railway shares which it
was generally expected would follow the aaessessa-
ble panto of the preceding week. They are, however,
musk firmer in toner and public eionlideoce begins to
be re-assured. The statements moistly gives to the
public by many of the leading compaatee, have made
us acquainted, in ememoa with the directors them-
selves, with the Mlles, to use the mildest term,
which have been committed ; and we now know
the fell extent of their liabilities, and the =-
pew es of working. &a, thus enabling us to make oar
own ealculatioas, and to form ear own judgment as
to the prospects for the future. In doing this there
iacal7thing to encourage the expectation of in-
cn tea& ; and if, according to Mr. Hattea's
stakeout of the Meat Western Company's affairs, an
increase of 20 per cent. oa the present trs s would
double the amount of dividend, the same
principle moat be applicable to other lime,
and wecoufess we see ibiag tojn-tify the rapid do-
preciathe which railway ea•ty so recently ma-
Wald within so short a piw, whilst the probabili-
ties, es many lines, are in favour of an improvement.
We do not anticipate, nor do we desire to see, a re-
turn of railway shuts to the unreasonable premiums
they attained to three or four years ago;
but we believe that the greater number
of these undertakings, under economical and
judicious management, will gradually recover
from their present depressed vain., and pay the pro-
prietors a fair and equitable return on their hived-
:mum. To effect this, we believe it necessary that
the rate of speed per mile for goods should be re-
duced, by which a great saving of coke and wear and
'ear of material would be obtained, as stated by Mr.
Macgregor, the chairman of the South Eastern and
Dover Company, and also that the tariffs should be
revised, fixing a minimum as well as a maximum rate,
that nothing may be carried which is not really pro-
fitable.

The following statement, prepared and condensed
fom various oecial returns, will be found to present
an intelligible view of the note circulation of the
United Kingdom, and of the coin and bullion held by
the banks indicated, both positively at the dates of
the accounts last made np, and comparatively with
returns for corresponding periods:
The aggregate average of the note circulation of
