The Express.
London, England, 1859-08-04 00:00:00

In the other markets great inactivity likewise

continues to prevail, and prices in most instances are
nominally unaltered. English railway stocks have
become firmer since the opening, • favourable im-
pression having been produced by the offieial
announcement of • dividend at the rate
of Four-and-a-Half per Cent. per annum by the
Lancashire and Yorkshire Company.
The telegrams from the Paris Bourse have not
yet arrived.
Consols are officially marked 941 to 95 for
money, and 95 for the 9th instant. The present
quotations are 941 exactly for cash ; 96, "sellers,"
for August, and 95 to 1 for the 7th of September.
Bank Stock hat been dealt in at 222 ; the Three per
Cents. Reduced, at 96e to f, ; the New Three per
Cent.., at 951 to 1; India Stook, at 2191 to
2211; and Exchequer Bills, at 27e. prem.
The foreign stock market is likewise quiet. Pries@
generally are well supported. Peruvian and
Venezuelan Bonds are in demand, with
an upward tendency. The old Turkish
Six per Cents. remain quoted 811 to 821.
and the New, 711 to 72. Bales are recorded as fol-
lows :—Anstrian Five per Cents., 1869, 761,

The light portion of the Bombay and Australian
mails
will be delivered in London to-morrow (Fri-
day) morning. The ships Avon, Southampton,
Prince of the Sees, Eagle, and Beechworth, are on
the way from Melbourne to England, with 153,396
ounces of gold, worth about 613,0001.
The Paris Constitutionnel of Tuesday confirms
the intimation already given that the Ruffian go-
vernment will shortly bring forward again the loan
which was announced some months ago. As the
postponement of the loan at that period was owe-
sinned solely by political consideration., it is highly
probable that, the peace of Europe being restored,
our contemporary will prove correct. The honour-
able conduct of the Russian government in releasing
the previous subscribers from their engagements and
returning the deposit may now be expected to ope-
rate to its advantage.
The Board of Trade being about to engage in a
numberof important experiments with a view to secure
the best description of cable for submersion between
Falmouth and Gibraltar, with an ultimate extension
to Malta, have entered into an arrangement with the
Atlantic Telegraph Company, according to which
the interesting experiments relating to this object
(with which the selection of the proposed new At-
lantic cable is intimately connected), will be con-
ducted conjointly by the government and the Atlantic
Telegrapn Company. Mr. Robert Stephenson and
Professor Wheatstone have the direction of these
experiments, as well on behalf of the company as of
the government. The company contribute the assist-
ance of their staff, and the valuable information col-
lected during their extensive operations. The expe-
riments will consist of complete tests, by pressure
and otherwise, of the comparative insulating quali-
ties of gotta percha and indiarubber, as well as of
the comparative value of external coverings of iron,
of hemp, and of hemp and iros in conjunction. A.
thorough chemical examination will also take place
into the respective constituents of indiarabber and
gotta perch*, with a view to test their comparative
durability, as well as the manner in which they are
likely to be acted upon by the salts of the ocean, or
other influences, chemical or accidental. Out of
these experiments others of equal scientific interest
will doubtless arise.
Mr. Stuart Donaldson, late Colonial Secretary of
New South Wales, and now chairman of the Auguste
lien Association, is canvassing the electors of Dart-
mouth as an independent supporter of the present
government. This gentleman's election would be
regarded with much satisfaction by the Australian
interest.

The Commercial Banking Company of Sydney,
New South Wales, have concluded the necessary
arrangements for opening a branch in London,
under the management of Thomas Whistler Smith,
Esq., the deputy-chairman of the bank. The capital
of the bank, which heretofore amounted to 240,0001.,
was early in the present year increased to 320,0001-,
I in order to meet the increase of business, and the
I last dividend declared out of profile was at the rate
of 20 per cent. per annum.
