The funds remsiin quiet, at the closing quo-
tations of yesterday. Some positive information
respecting the result of Lord Cowley's mis-
sion is mod anxiously looked for ; and
meanwhile business in the Stock Exchange is very
languid. English railway shares are rather fiat,
but French and Lombardo-Venetian have ex-
perienord a partial recovery.

. -
Consols are quoted 96, " buyers," for money, and
96 1.16 to i for the 7th of April. The
Indian Four per Cent. Debentures have been dealt
in at 991; India Binds, at 19s. premium; and
Exchequer Bills, June, at 35r. to 38s. prem.

. .
The foreign stock market is very quiet. The
Old Turkish Six per. Cents. are supported at
921 to 931, but the New Loan has re-
ceded to 79 to 1 ex div. ; Russian
bonds are inquired for, whilst Anglo-Pern-
vian Fonr.and-a-Half per Cents. are dull.
Sales are recorded as follows :—Brazilian Four-
and-a-Half per Cents., 1838, 941; Dutch

and-a-Half per Cents., for account, 911, ex div. ;

301; Turkish Six per Cents., 1834, for account, 921;
ditto Six per Cents., 1868, for account, 791, 791 ex
div.

The usual telegrams from the Paris Bourse of this
day have not yet come forward.

in the discount market the demand is increasing,
whilst the supply of money, owing partly to the
large accumulation of Government deposits in the
Bank, has diminished. The lowest rates for choice
bills yesterday were 2i to 2j per cent. At the Bank
the applications were more numerous than on Thurs-
day, but, thus far, the dealers have been enabled to
dispense with assistance from that establishment.
At Vienna on Thursday a considerable rise took
place io the Austrian funds, but at Frankfort and
Amsterdam there was a fall,

About 20,0001. in gold was yesterday withdrawn
from the Bank for exportation, probably in payment
for silver.

The fortnightly settlement in shares and foreign
stocks will commence on Monday (" continuation
del"), and terminate on Wednesday.
It is stated that the City of Paris are endeavour-
ing to negotiate a loan of five or iix millions sterling

works of improvement. The security is the revenues
of the municipality, which will be largely increased
by the extension of the City beyond the present
oetroi boundary.
The steamer Lebanon has arrived from New York
with 86,0001. in specie.
A farther sum of about 80,0001. in silver arrived
in the Thames on Thursday from Boulogne and Ant-
werp, and is doubtless included in the freight list of
the outgoing Bombay steamer.
The fall of about 7 per cent. which took place in
the exchange on Austria between Friday and Tues-
day last was followed yesterday afternoon by a rise
of 2 to 3 per cent., owing to renewed distrust. Bills
on Vienna were quoted on Tuesday 10.80 to 11, and
yesterday afternoon 11.10 to 20. Paper on Holland
was inquired tor, but little alteration occurred in the

The prospectus of the Northfleet Docks and Lon-
don Quays Company (Limited) is issued, with a
proposed capital of 1,600,0001. (subject to increase to
2,000,0001.), in shares of 201. each. It is proposed
to construct large docks at Nortbfleet, where an area
of 166 scree has been secured, and where it is con-
tended that the chalk formation affords peculiar
facilities for the construction and maintenance of the
works. Both wet and dry docks, adapted to vessels
of the largest dimensions, are to be formed, and the
former are to be perfectly accessible at every state
of the tide. As regards railway communication it is
mentioned that " the docks will be connected with
the City by the London, Tilbury, and Southend
line, and also with the North London Rail-
way, on which now converge the great
trunk lines from the north and west;" and that
I " A branch less than half a mile in length, and for
which the South Eastern Railway Company have
expeessed their readiness to give every facility, will
connect the proposed docks with the North Kent line,
thus affording another oommunioation through the
South Eastern and South Western Railways, and the
various lines in connexion with them, with all the
manufacturing districts of the kingdom." The docks
at Northfleet are to be combined with several quays
in Lower Thames-street, it being proposed to main-
tain a constant communication. Such are the ad-
vantages set forth by the promoters, who have
secured a number of respectable names for the direo- '
tion. The engineer is Sir Charles Fox.
The directors of the Agra and United Service Bank

increase.
