from New York is no leas than 1,570 903 dots., or
314,2001. The Ericsson has also arrived at Liver-
pool with 201,000 dots er 40,2001. Oaring to the
short supply of bills on Englaad, and to the large
snivels of t►e precious metal from California, it is
anticipated that the remittances of gold to t►ia side
will be large fur some weeks to come. On the other
hand, in c.,nsequence ot the revival ot the continental
demand for gold, it is expected that the whole of the
354,4001. above specified, which will be in hand to-

We are informed • hat the negotistlons for leasing
the Great Luxembourg line to the Eastern of France
Railway Company have been broken off, differenoe
having arisen as regards some of the de ails. The
Great Luxembourg shareholders will doubtless be
furnished with lull details at the meeting called toe

It ie reported that the directors of the London and
South Wsetstn Railway Company propose to distn-
hate amongst the proprietor., at par, an amount of
old unappropria,ed stock, at present lying at the dia.
pont of the company. It is stated that the distribu-
tion will give Own 61. new stock for every 1001. now
held. As the ordinary stock of this company stands
at present at 7 or 8 per cent. premium, the arrange-
ment in question of course involves • small bonus
to the shareholders.

We have on several occasions drawn attention to
the project which is on foot in Paris for constructing
a new line of railway from that city to &talons. This
important undertaking is now approaching maturity.
The capital is to be raised by an issue of shares of
161. each, the right of subscribing to which is reserved
to the shareholders of the Northern of France Rail-
way Company. This fact explains the remarkable
steadiness lately shown by the price of the stook.
According to the advice, from Vienna, nearly the
whole of the first instalment of 30 per cent. has
already been paid on the shares of the Emprese
Elizabeth Railway, the issue of which took place on
the 23rd ult. It is mentioned, as indicative of the
existence in Vienna of considerable capital applicable
for industrial enterprise, that this operation has not
led to any demand for loans trout the new Vienna
Credit Bank, which offers to advance 20 per cent. ott
the shares with 30 per cent. paid.
The " Colosseum of Science and Art Company " is
projected, under the Limited Liability Act, for under.
taking the lease of the Royal Colosseum. It is pro.
posed to supply additional attractions to this well-
known exhibition, and the directors rely that a re.
&action in the price of admission to one shilling will
induce extensive patronage. The capital is fixed at
10,00 W., in 101. shares, but it is mentioned in the
prospectus that any additional call beyond the deposit
of 21. per share is unlikely, 2,0001. being oonaideved
sufficient for the objects contemplated. Dr. Bach.
hoffner is to be the managing director. One share
will entitle the holder to a free admission for himself.

MONDAY EVENING.

The funds were rather natter this morning on
sales connected with the approaching monthly settle-
ment, which is fixed for Thursday next. After an•
extreme decline of I per cent., prices closed per
cent. lower than on Saturday. In face of the pre.
parations for the settlement, the market retains much
steadiness. It is evident, however, that the sudden
and unexpected revival of the demand for gold for
the continent has given a check to the very sanguine
feeling previously existing in the Stock Exchange.
It is considered that henceforth the accumulation of
bullion here will be leas rapid than of late. Acting
upon this idea and upon the apprehension of the
charges incidental to an over-bought account, some
'of the more cautious speculators for the rise are gra-
dually contracting their operations, especially in the
' British share market. _

The diaconal market continues quiet and easy, and
good bills are readily negotiated at 41 per cent., or 1
per cent. below the Bank minimum. In the Stock
Exchange to-day, however, money wee in more
demand, and commanded as much as 41 per cent. for
short periods on security of government stock, owing
to the recall of some sums which had been lent in the
market. The Coosol settlement will now occasion •
demand for money in "the house."
