principle laa of course fet to be tooted by practical
working. The Submarine Tel Company en-
joying a monopoly of a °omission for any
down
submarine wires on the French coast the new line is
not intended for the use of the publ but is
merely designed as an experiment, which if %lids
mutely successful will materially reduce the cost
of similar node takings in future in all pa
of •
the world. We understand that the present expe-
riment has been liberally promoted by the Earl of
Dudley and some of his friends, who have shows
much public spirit in the matter.

The position of the Bank has become slightly less
strong during the week. The deposits, both
here go-
vernment and private, have increincreased,, but t
has been a partial revival of the demand for money,
as proved by the increase of 527,2671• in the Bank's
advances on private securities, and the result is a
diminution of 193,8061. in the reserve. The coin
and bullion have also decreased 159,3311., which is
slightly in excess of the amonntknown to have bees
withdrawn for export during the week.

Two o'Csoui. _
The stock markets to-day are again flat, a further
check having apparently been given by the Bank
returns. The funds have sustained a fresh de-
cline of i per cent. Foreign stocks are not much
affected. Two or three of the home railways are
rather more offered, especially Great lantern.

Messrs. Letts, Son, and Co. have issued their
Diaries and Pocket-books for the year 1866. As
usual they are in great variety, and calculated to
be of much utility, especially to the man of business.
There were no gold transactions of importance at
the Bank yesterday, but a large amount of sovereigns
is expected to be withdrawn to-day for transmission
to Brasil by the packet which will leave Southamp-
ton to-morrow.
The City of Washington, from New York, has
brought 19,5001. in specie.
The circulation of the Irish banks, which has
been extraordinarily active up to the present time,
owing partly to the strong demand on Engliah ac-
count for cattle, butter, bacon, and other com-
modities, now shows signs of the diminution
generally observed at this season, and it is said
that some parcels of sovereigns will consequently
return to London next week. Satisfactory evidence
of the material welfare of the Lrish people, in spite
of the disturbance occasioned by the Fenian agi-
tation, is afforded by the increase which is taking
place in the deposits in the banks.
The North Eastern Railway traffic return shows
as this week an increase of 3,2731. over the corre-
pending week of last year • the Lancashire and
Yorkshire an increase of 5,3061. ; the Manchester,

he Metropolitan Extension and branches, an in-
crease of 1,4451.

of Canada, just received, shows an increase of
3,9101. over last year the Grank Trunk an
increase of 4,2351.
The position of the Gellivara Company (Limited)
is strongly calculated to deter subscriptions to new
undertakiugs. The shares are of 501. each, with
rot 151. paid, and as the present quotation is 14 to 12
• dia., it is evident that the holders in this, as inseve-
• ral other notorious cases, have seen almost the
entire sum paid by them swallowed up in
market discount. It is difficult to understand upon
what pretext such projects as this are kept going,
unless it be for the benefit of those who make
a profit out of the unfortunate shareholders'
