A case of scandal is occupying the attention of the
members of the Stock Exchange. We have re-
frained from alluding to it until it has become a
topic of common conversation. It is charged against
a broker of standing, that when entrusted by a client
with a commission to buy 300 shares in a new pro-
ject he bought only 100 in the market, and himself
sold to his client the other 200 at the same price.
The contract-note forwarded to the client named, it
is said, the dealer of whom the 100 shame were pur-
chased as the seller of the whole 300. The broker
inculpated will, according to rumour, abstain from
applying for re-admission to the Stock Exchange
at the annual election this month. It is understood
that the cue is under the consideration of
the committee. Pending the investigation into the
truth of the circumstances alleged judgment mast
be withheld. A searching inquiry is indispensable
and the committee are not likely to shrink from their
duty. Either the person accused should be honour-
ably acquitted, or the committee should mark, by
a special resolution, their sense of what is required
for the protection of the public, who rely with
justice upon the high character of the Stock Ex-
change.
According to the French financial journals, the

The option presented to shareholders in the Great
Western Railway of participating in a new issue of

expiros on Thursday next. The stock is redeemable
at par, by the company giving one year's notice,
prior to the 25th April, 1864, but if not so redeemed
it becomes thenceforth 'perpetual irredeemable 4 # per
cent. preference stock. The whole amount of the

in profusion, soma of which the bishug caught with cotton
wool!
