Bank yesterday. There is still a good inquiry for
$
pain.
Owing to the absence of exports from Australia
to India, the remittances of gold from the former
country to England continue to increase, the total
known to be now in course of transmission hither
being 515,0001. The Swifteure ha 51286,0001. on
board, the Transatlantic 127,000/1 and the Sussex
102,0001. The first-named vessel is due.
The accounts from Sydney report the failure of
Messrs. Prost, Kohler, and Co., merchants, with
liabilities for 50,0001., and assets valued at 31,0001.
At Melbourne Messrs. J. Katzenstein and Co. had
also stopped payment. Their liabilities were
31,3151., and assets 22,9101.
The foreign exchanges were stesdy yesterday after-
noon, and as regards bills on Paris, the tendency

Communications continue to be received relative
to the resent decisions of the committee of the
Stook Exchange regarding new companies. The
applications fora settlement of those recently issued
now before the committee are still numerous, and
there is a growing belief abroad that however hon-
ourable the intentions of this body may be, their
legislation in at present capriciously administered
and not strictly regulated! as it clearly ought to be,
by the existing laws of this institution. It is cur-
rently stated that in some canes latterly the chief if
not only opposition to these new undertakings
passing the Stock Exchange emanates from dealers
whose operations in the shares have turned out un-
profitable, and who thus seek to get rid of their liabi-
lity. It is to be hoped, for the honour of the body,
that these reiortssre unfounded. Taking the most
favourable view, any action of this kind must be
questionably viewed by the public, as coming from
interested parties, but if open in any degree to the
suspicion of bad faith, the result can only tend to
the discredit of the Stook Exchange itself. It has
lived for a long series of years, and only lives now
as a monopoly by the belief that, in the absence of
positive evidence of fraud, the contracts entered
iMo by or through its, members with the public,
will be honourably enforced and punctually ful-
filled.
Caledonian Railway stock was in good demand
yesterday, and advanced, owing to the official an-
youseemeot of a proposed dividend, at the rate of
Iper cent per annum, in addition to a bonus of
per 1001. stock.

Imams of 1,3301. ; the Glasgow and South Western

crease of 4741.
With reference to the Russian Iron Works Com-
pany it is understood that measures are to be taken
to obtain the return of the deposits, on the ground
of the alleged variance of the prospectus with the
articles of association.
