The average for repairs for the last mix years was 5,3001., 54.

be appropriated from the half-yearly profits, to nset thee:. 10
pens of these repairs. The ordar7 woridos expenses were It
the same as those of last year. With regard to the Hallo' St.

engagements, and the line would be taken up and utilised

realised from the French and Belgian lines.

ONE teChacs.
In consequence of the increased flow of gold to
the Bank of England, and of the almost general
impression that the rate of discount will be lowered
on Thursday next to 7 per cent., the stock markets
opened with a firm appearance this morning, and
the upward tendency has since been strengthened
by a purchase by the government broker of
15,0001. New Three per Cents. for the
sinking fund. These investments will be
continued daily, except on Saturdays, and
Mondays, till the end of the current quarter.
Consols have advanced it per cent, and some of the
foreign stocks k to;. English railways and finan-
cial shares are mostly unaltered. Joint Stock
Discount shares have risen Cm

The foreign stock market was firmer to-day, and
a recovery took place in movers' of the speculative

chief request, and rose Ito 1 per cent. Venezuelan

1862,1 ; and Spanish Certificates, Turkish of 1865,

----
As many persons are keeping their bills back on
the prbepect of a reduction in the Bank of England
rate on Thursday next, the discount market is very
quiet to-day, and the charge for the best paper has
declined to 71 per cent., or f below the present
official minimum. In the Stock Exchange short
loans onEnglish government securities are obtain-
able at 7 to 7/ per cent.
Consols are now quoted 87j to j for money, and
87/ to 88 for the account (March 8).
Foreign stocks are firm, and a rise of I to } per
cent. is observable in Spanish Passive, the Com-
mittee'seertificates, Italian of 1861,Brazilian scrip,
and Mexican. The quotations are as follows
Greek, 13/ to 14 ; Mexican, 22/ to 23/; Spanish
Passive, 27/ to 1 ; ditto Certificates, 16 to } ;

Consols are 4 per cent. lower, at 874 to 1 for
money, and 871 to / for the acoonnt.
At Paris to-day the Three per Cent. Rentes
opened at 69fr. 10c., being about the same as
yesterday.
About 93,0001. in gold has been sent into the
Bank.
The advioee from Madrid report a complete inva-
- aim of that city by financiers, both from Paris and
London, laden with all sorts of proposals for sup-
I plying the pecuniary necessities of the government.
It is evident, however, that any combination, to
command confidence in so difficult an affair, must
nit
comprise names of eminence, and involve, besides
the granting of a loan to the government, a com-
plete settlement of both the Passive debt and
the Certificates.
The value of money on the continent continues
to decline, in the absence of demand for silver on
English account. The Bank of Holland has just
reduoed its rate of discount from 6} to 6 per cent.
The amount of Australian gold known to be on
the way to England is 433,0001. The Lightning,
with 44,5001., has been at sea 91 days ; the Win-
niogton, with 22,0001., 87 days ; Sarah trice, with
50,5001., 80 days ; Roxburgh Castle, with 57,0001.,
34 79 days; Clutbaywith 9,0001., 76 days; True Bri-
ton, with 144,5001., 62 days ; Wave of Life, with
59,0001., 61 days ; and the Rifleman, with 46,5001.,
1 , 61 days. Only about 70,0001. is as yet due.
6 It is satisfactory to learn that there is little or no
expectation that the disturbed state of affairs in
Ireland will lead to withdrawals of gold from
the Irish banks, or by them from the Bank of
England. The impression amongst those who have
commercial and financial relations with Ireland is
that, in consequence of the strong measures now
adopted by the government, the spirit of sedition
za will be quelled, and the confidence of the commu-
id nity restored.
The Stock Exchange Committee have appointed
Friday, the 23rd inst., a special settling day in the

bury and Co. :
The sale has gone off with much better spirit then was
anticipated ; the demand for Bengal, Oude, and Kurpeh
was active, and although the assortment generally
an inferior description, there was much eagerness shown
on the part of buyers to make their purchases, and pnoes
in consequence ruled high. For Madras the demand we* i
limited, and prices went noevenly, some parcels selling at a
with
decline, while others sold at an advance as compared
last October, and for a few fine soft lots very high 1
rates were paid; a pared of 164 chests nawMimlspatam, ;

able
spirit at an advance of about 9d. to la upon
