The fonds remain steady in character, but business
is quiet, and Consols are now quoted about 1.16 per
sent. lower than yesterday afternoon. In
mime of the other markets realisations
have slightly predominated, and in certain instancy
there is a partial retrogression in prime. The learnt
diate upward movement seems to have received •
check.

telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted

A further sum of 28,0001. in bar gold was taken
from the Bank yesterday for the Continent : the
imLooot, by the had Jacket was also purchased foe
exportation. The Vanderbilt has arrived from New
York with about 200,0001. in specie, a portion of
which is oa French account.
Government make no specie remittance to Cal-
cutta and China by the steamer of the 4th of De-
cember, bat send 10,0001. to Gibraltar. The amount'
on private account is not expected to exceed
100,0001. or 160,0001., owing partly to the high
price of Mexican dollars.
The mercantile community are at length taking
action, with a view to arrest the losses occasioned
by the distracted state of affairs in Mexico. An
address to Lord John Russell has been framed, and
has already received the signatures of Meson.
Rothschild, Baring, F. Rath and Co.,
Anthony Gibbs and Sons, and other great
houses. It sets forth that the memorialists,
British merchants, have been induced by their con-
fidence in the watchful care of the British govern-
ment to extend their agencies in, and their transac-
tions with, Mexico, and oomplains of the injustice
committed by the Meziean authorities, who have
laid exceptionally heavy imposts upon their agents.
It is also pointed out that in consequence of the dis-
turbed and uncertain state of the country remittances
to England have been rendered very irregular, to
the senops inconvenience of the commercial classes.
Upon these grounds the British government is
requested, in concert with the other great powers,
to recognise the government de facto established in
Mexico, and to extend its protection to British
interests in that country. The action now taken
will probably produce good results. Betore a go.
eminent can be made responsible for the acts of its
adherents it must be recognised as exercising an
authority over them. The recent seizure of a large
mess of treasure by one of Miramon'a generals is
sufficient to bring down upon its perpetrators the
angry interference of those States whose citizens
have been thus flagrantly despoiled.
It is stated that the North Eastern Railway Com-
pany count upon an estimated increase of gross re-
venue to the extent of 60,0001. for the current half-
year, and that the dividends will consequently, in all
probability, be at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum
on " Berwick" stock, and 4 to 41 per cent. per annum
on " York." From inquiries which we have made,
we gather that the dividends to be declared by some
of the leading railway companies for the last six
months of 1869 will approximate to the following
rates, viz.:

Last six months Lest six months
of 1859. of 1868.
