withstanding the dulness of the Paris Bourse,
whence, however, prioes come quoted at a slight

are firm. Lombardo-Venetian Railway shares re-
main heavy.

The postponement of the meeting of the Con-
gress, which has exercised a very depressing effect
at Paris, is viewed with calmness here, owing to an
impression that the impediments are of a character
to bind the policy of France in Italy more closely
with that of England. The superior steadiness of
home 'confides, as compared with foreign, is farther
explained by the increasing taste of the monied
public for the former. For example, the English
funds yesterday were steady, whilst the French have
fallen; and British and Indian railway securities
were in increased demand, in face of a decided fall in
French and Lombardo-Venetian.

The dividends will be payable to the public at the
Bank of England on Monday next, the 9th inst.
The demand for money yesterday at the Bank and
elsewhere was brisk, but less pressing than last
week. 2i per cent. is the general rate for choice
bills. _ _ _

bee. paid in advance. •

The proposals for the new Canadian Loan have

nally quoted par to 2 per cant prem. The Canada

The prospectus of the Bank of Turkey has been
definitively issued. The capital is fixed at
1,000,0041., in shares of 201., or 22 " rnedjidies "
• with power to increase to 3,000,0001. with the
sanction of the Ottoman government. The bank is
Ito have the exclusive right of issuing bank notes to
three dame the amount of bullion in its coffers. Not-
withstanding this valuable privilege the project meets
with no favour on the part of the general public. Out
of 18 directors in Constantinople and London there
are only three or four English name', all the others
beta; Greek. The Greek element especially pre-
dominates at Constantinople, where the real business
of the Bank will be managed. Experience of the
way in which the Greek financiers operate in Turkey
is likely to prevent the subscription from being other
than a restricted one.
