With reference to the Tallow Trade. Ave quote
the following' from the circular of Mr. F. J. Eaton,
issued this day :--
The tendency of the London market throuhout the
week has been towards gradually advancing rates, and
there is less disposition to sell for the next two months'
delivery, the stock of new tallow being firmly held for
higher prices ; in the event of peace arising out of the
present conference, (of which there now seems • little
doubt) there would he no inducement to continue the
overland trade, and as supplies could not arrive from St.
Petersburg, via the Baltic, before the end of July or the
beginning of August, consequently, the demand from the
trade for the next six months must necessarily be supplied
from the existing stock, which is at present 21,432 casks,
against 36,119 in 1855; and as the deliveries from the Ist
of February to the 30th of June last year, were 39,400
casks, this matter is well worthy of the attention of con-
sumers ; there are also symptoms of improvement in the
country demand, owing in some measure to the supplies of
home-melted not being so good ; yesterday 59s 6d was
paid February 11,1arch,lbut at the close 593 per cwt was
accepted, March April is quoted 555, April June 545, and
for the last three months a large business was done at
52s 6d to 9d per cwt. There has been very little doing
here, small sales of P.Y.C. at 59s to 60s per cwt; fine S.
American offers at 60s, N. American at 56s to 59s per
cwt, as in quality, and Neapolitan at 55s per cwt.
The. Dublin--Mercantile Advertiser states that
letters have been received from Glasgow announc-
ing the suspension of no less than four firms in the
Corn Trade, with very heavy engagements. The
same journal has commercial letters from St.
Petersburg,— Which states that owing to the
sanguine opinion generally prevailing amongst
all classes of a speedy peace, prices of wheat,
and oats, and linseed, have continued to advance,
and the exchange on England has also ftirther.
risen.

A meeting of the Scottish Australian Investment
Company was held yesterday, at which an unusu-
ally large number of proprietors attended, A
dividend at the rate of 15 per cent. upon the paid
up capital, leaving a reserve of about 89501, was
agreed to.

Intelligence from Switzerland mentions that the
subject of railway communication through the
Cantons of Vaud and Friburg is engaging the
ttention-of the Federal Government. At a session
assembly held at Born, the council agreed
to the construction of a line to the Bernese frontier
by way'of Thorishnus and to the frontier of Vau-
doise by way of Payerne. The total length of the
line will, be 46 kilos., and the cost of construction
9 million francs. Of this.sum the city of Friburg
is to furnish 2 millions. This railway will be in
connection with the Western Swiss Railway Com-
pany, whose line reaches the Bernese frontier from
Geneva : and whose capital was furnished by the
