MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL

both goods and yarns were maintained.
Mohr Brothers, in their circular, dated Akyab,

and little gradually assuming their foimer dimen-
sions. The Emperor has appointed Consuls
and Vice-Consuls at Genoa, Havre, Malta, Corfu,
and Zante.
The directors of the Riga and Dunaburg
Railway yesterday forwarded documents con-
stituting the company to Committee of the Stock
Exchange, but with the proviso that they are not
to be published, the board urging that their publi-
cation would militate against the negociations now
pending in Russia. It is presumed that the matter
will come under the consideration of the Stock
Exchange Conimittee on Friday next.
We are informed that a difference of opinion
has arisen in the board of directors of the Great
Western Railway of Canada, which has led to
the retirement of Mr. J. B. Smith, M.P. The
question at issue is stated to he the propriety of
entering into engagements with a new line in
Canada, which Mr. Smith thought would be a
valuable adjunct to the Great Western Railway,
while his colleagues felt that after the strong
expression of opinion in the resolutions at the
late general meetings of the shareholders in this
country, they
.are precluded from committing the
company to any new lines or branches without the
previous sanction of the proprietors.
The half-yearly meeting of the Oxford, Wor-
cester, and Wolverhampton Railway Company
is called for the 27th instant, at Worcester, and
will be made special, to raise fresh capital
and to convert the present debentures into de-
benture stocks.
The committee of Spanish American bond-
holders have submitted to Dr. Robert Phillimore
a ease referring to the position of the holders of
Venezuelan bonds. Dr. Phillimore is of opinion
that the bondholders have a right to claim the in-
tervention of the Brttish government for the
recovery of the entire sum of 586.9881 , being the
arrears, with interest accruing from the money,
which has been unlawfully abstracted from the
revenues appropriated to the liquidation of the

debt.
Mr. Richard Thornton, acting on behalf of the
committee of Portuguese bondholders, now recom-
mends those bondholders who have not yet con-
verted their bonds to do so, the " government of
Portugal having assented to the terms of the
agreement proposed and accepted at the last
general meeting."
The Funds have not recovered from the depres
sion noticed at the commencement of business,
but it is probable that upon the completion of the
settlement the Market will assume a firmer aspect.
The heaviness apparent during the last day or two
may bo ascribed to the adjustment of the account,
the increased demand for money, and the general
disinclination to continue speculative transactions
at present. These, with other causes of minor
importance, are sufficient to weaken the Market,
which at this season is unusually languid. Con-
sols were quoted at the close of the day at 95a--
