ther investment. English railway shares are also very
firm, with a tendency towards improvement. A rise
at Paris contributes to stimulate confidence here.

It is confidently stated that a definitive arrange-
sent has been concluded between the Government
and the Bank of England, by which the latter take
the entire two millions of new Exchequer Bards
about to be created. No publie rubsoription will
therefore be invited. The point of immediate in-
terest to commercial circles and to the Stock Ex-
change is, that the holders of Exchequer Bonds who
will be paid off on Saturday next must be driven
into new investments. The amount that will be
thus added to the stock of espilal afloat is estimated
I at about 1,000,0001., the Bank of England being
I themselves holders of some 400,0001. of the
