ANOTHER SWEDISH LOAN.

HAMBURG, BAro anAy.

A prospectus has appeared of another loan to be
raised by the Swedish government, bearing interest
at 41 per cent., and of the amount of 8,190,600
dollars, to be employed in the construction of rail-
ways. The loan is negotiated by four German
houses, and considerable purchases have been made

The Bourse has been animated, and there has been
a further oonaiderable rise, in consequence of the
Bank of France having reduced its discount from
6 per cent. to 4} per cent. The Rents rose 20c. for
each and 15e. ter account, closing at 69.66 and 69.80.
Mobilier was rather weak at the close, leaving off
with a rise of only 2.60. The railway market was
Arm, but without much business doing. Orleans,
Lyons, and Western left off 2f. or 3f. lower; the
other lines rose about 2.60.

The bullion in the Bank of France has again in-
creased this week. The augmentation is understood
to be to the amount of 16 millions. The reserve of
notes has increased to the extent of 26 millions. The
resources of the establishment are now so abundant
that it has been resolved to give no more than 2 per
cent. interest for new deposits, and to reduce the
interest on existing deposes to 21. per cent.
The suspension of M. James Ocher is said to have
been occasioned by a delay in the receipt of a sum of
money amounting to no lees than 2,600,000 f., which
he is in hourly expectation of receiving from America
and the Isle of Reunion. The most confident expec-
tation/ are entertained that he will shortly resume
business.

There is no truth in a report published by the In-
citerendance Beige that M. James Odier had com-
mitted suicide.

A Paris letter in the Inelependance Beige gives
the following explanation of the fact which has been
much remarked upon, of the Queen of Spain having
sent no special messenger to Paris to congratulate
the Emperor and Empress on their escape on Jan.
14:—" When Queen Isabella received the news of
the birth of the Imperial Prince, she without loss of
time sent him the order of the Golden Fleece. Now,
the Emperor has not yet sent the Grand Cordon of
the Legion of Honour to the Prince of the Asturias,
and it seems that the forgetfulness is expected to be
repaired at Madrid before the Spanish court takes
the initiative of any further civility. This incident,
which by purely practical men might be thought to
be of small importance, is considered quite serious
by the Spanish government. I am even assured that
the Duke de Rivas was on the point of demand
ing his passports and leaving the affairs of his lega-
tion in the hands of a simple chargt d'affaires."
Prince Christian of Denmark arrived in Paris at
8 o'clock last evening, on a special mission from the
King. Court '
ages were in waiting to receive
him at the Northern Railway station.
A letter from Cannes states that the King of
Prussia is expected there shortly, it being hoped
that the mildness of that climate may aid in restor-
ing his health.
It is publicly announced that the Courrier de
Paris has been purchased by MM. Dauriol and Cre-
miens. It will, I believe, no longer attempt any
opposition. The idea of " liberty with the Empire,
which M. E. de Girardin for a brief period attempted
to sustain in that journal, is now altogether out of
fashion.

Orders have been sent to the commissariat esta-
blishments in the south of France to despatch forth-
with to Algeria a great number of spades, Rickaxes,
wheelbarrows, and other things required in effect-
ing earthworks. These objects are destined for the
troops who are to be employed in the execution of
railways in that colony. Each soldier is to be paid
76c. a day, and inducements are to be held out to
labourers in France to emigrate to Algeria to assist
in the work.

PLYMOUTH, MoenAy.
The African Royal Mail Steam Shipping Com-
pany's steamer Ethiope, Captain Croft, arrived at
Plymouth last night. Her homeward dates are :
Fernando Po, Dec. 27 ; Cameroons, 28 ; Old Cala-
bar, 30; Bonny, lan. 3; Accra, 9; Cape Coast, 11;
Liberia, 15 ; Sierra Leone, 20 ; Bathurst, 24 ; Tene-
rife, 30; Madeira, Feb. 1. She brings seven pas-
sengers, among whom are D. A. Comm.-General
O'Connor, and Lieutenant Hill, Ist West India Re-
giment, 3,058 ounces of gold, and a fall cargo of
palm oil, ivory, camwood, arrow-root, Madeira
wine, and sundries.

Trade operations were dull on the coast through
the state of the home money market, but the season
was healthy.
Her Majesty's steam-ships Heels. and Brune were
at Lagos, and the Bloodhound at Bonny, with Con-
sul Hutchinson on board.

A murder had been committed at Blobey, one of
the Corisco islands. A Captain Stewart, a Btitiall
trader residing [there, had been massacred by the
natives, who first shot him in the groin and then
cut his head off in the presence of his wife. As
there was no Spanish vessel of war in the neigh-
bourhood application for assistance had been made
by the governor to the British authorities, who
were about to dispatch a man-of-war to the Owe.
A Braman had also lately been murdered at Bonny
by the natives.

Governor Sir Benjamin Pine took a paimage in
the Ethiope from Accra to Cape Coast.
