A prominent feature in the Stock Exchange at.
present is the demand for Indian Railway shares.
which are rapidiy rising.
The amount of specie brought in by the Canada

We
areauthoried to state that the convention foe
the Central ot Italy portion ot the Lombardo Venetian
Railway. has been confirmed by the states through
which the line is to run—viz., Parma, Modena, Tus-
cany, and Rome.
In the Stock Exchange the settling day for the
shares in the Affiance Bank is fixed for the 26thinet.

Subscriptions are in progress in Paris, and will
shortly be opened here also, for shares in the General
Bank ot Switzerland (Credit International Mubilier
et Fonder). Ot the capital ot 2,400,0001., one-third
is reserved for England. Branches are to be estab-
lished in Paris and London. The statutes granted
to this institution are stated to be of a very liberal
character.
Advice, from Paris refer to reports that the capital
of the Rue de Rivoli Company is to be increased
from 960,0001. to 75 millions of francs, or 3,000,0004,
sterling. The Credit Fonoier, it is also said, will
shortly make an lune of new shares. On the °thee
hand, it is rumoured that the railway companies
have received an intimation hum the government
that it will be advisable to postpone as long as
possible fresh issues of bonds, apprehensions being
probably felt with reference to the pressers
occasioned in the money market by the influx of
new projects. The heavy subscriptions for bonds
opened by the Lyons, Orleans, and Great Central
Companies for the purposes of the Bourboonais
and by the Beziers and Graisseesac Railway Com-
' pany, are now covered. There is still considerable
speculation going on in Paris in the shares of the
Manage to Erquelines Railway, based partly upon
the idea that this undertaking will be incorporated
with the Northern of France Company.
The Cab Company now at work in Paris will, ft
is reported, declare a dividend at the rate of 5 pee
cent. per annum, for the last four months ot 1855.
Amongst the new projects brought forward in
Paris we notice a "Societe Phoceenne," with •
capital of 100,000/. This company proposes to build
and maintain steam boats communicating between
the various ports of the Mediterranean and the East.
The deposit is to be 2!. per share, and is to be fol-
lowed by a all of 31. within eight days.
The shares of the Tarragona Railway have recently

have finally decided to accept the conoessioo ; and as
payment of this call, certificates of shares, bearing
interest at the rate of 5 per cent., will be issued fit
exchange for the scrip. Future calls will be made as
may be required for the prosecution of the works.
We are requested to state that the Unity Joint
Stock Mutest Banking Company received its charter
on Saturday. Business will commence at Unity-
buildings, Cannon-street, and the West-End office,
Coventry-street, Leicester-equare, on the Ist of May.
It is suggested that the let of May is a very incon-
venient day for the meeting. of the Sambre and
Meuse Railway Company, owing to the closiog of the
Stock Exchange on that day, and to the consequent
absence from the City of numerous parties interested
in the company. The directors of the Oxford, Wor-
cester, and Wolverhampton Railway have adjourned
their meeting, which was fixed for the let of May,
until the following day.
The 1 meeting of the Provincial Beak of De-
land proprietary is called for the 15ihof May.
A call of 41. is to be paid on the shares of the
Royal Surrey Gardens Company by the lat of May.

The funds today were slightly flatter, closing 1
percent. lower than yesterday. Basins., musings-
Early inanimate, and to this circumstance the daft
decline was chiefly attributable. Some influence is
also exercised by the knowledge that rensittanoss
against the Turkish loan continue to operate against
the tendency to recovery in the Bank's stock of bul-
lion. The comparative steadiness with which prices
are maintained is due to the belief that this drain it
merely temporary, and that relief will be gradually
derived from the influx of gold from other quarter,.
Discussions as to the probable amount of the mad
government loan are now more freely indu'ged in,
however, and also tend to restrain the market.

The discount market maintains the quieter sp.
pursues lately noticed. The general demand fir
accommodation is decidedly less active at present. Is
the Stock Exchange, ales, there is an absence ot strin-
gency, and short loans can be obtained upon goveri•
meat securities at 5 per cent. Some demand will
arise, however, to meet next Thursday's lost ilment of
1,050,0001. on the new loan.
