The following appeared . in a part of our
impression -on Saturday

RAILWAYS.
It is announced in Paris; that Messrs. Rothschild
have contracted to buy the Moscow and St Petersburg
Railway. The Times says the rumour is not believed
on this side.

The Times says, the East Kent directors, at their
board,. yesterday, .agreed to the proposal of the South.
Eastern Company to discuss the question of an arrange-
ment in. the forrn of a lease instead of alusion.
The principal demand to-day was for .Indian Securi-
ties, particularly the railway shares, many of which
have long atood at a very h.eavy discount;_ but Loin-
bardo,Venetian and' Brazilian Railway Shires were in.
,active request—fthe improvement extended to-the Grand
Trunk of Canada.—Daily News. '
In connection with. the rise in. the St. Petersburgh
exchange, a rumour is .circulated-that- Messrs. 'Rothechild have purchased from the Russian Government the ,
St. Petersburg and Moscow Railway, if so, it is to be 1
assumed that the Government has submitted to a very
large deduction from the cost price.—Daily News.
I . The. Times city article says, British Railway Stocks
have been comparatively dull, and in some cases a tri-
fling,decline has taken place. The market, however, is
sdlf intrinsically firm, owing. to the expectation of in-
'creased (dividends. The traffic . returns for -the United
Kingdom, week ending Dec. 3d; exceeded b 3, £42,110
same week last year.
COMMERCIAL.
The adviees from Marseilles mention the failure of
Messrs. 'Zingroniz and Co:; in the sugar trade, for.
about £480,000. '
The Admiralty haVe taken up the screw-steamers
Adelaide and Sir William Peel as regular transports.
The -will probably be employ_ed in the China Water
The Herald says the •tallow market wai steadier
Yesterday, with a recovery in price's. ' The same 'paper
says that at Mark-lane, yesterday, the de'alings in sehne
cases showed an increase of ls. per qr.
The Times, in its
whaeeveklyshroele review, says produce
during the week, further dnenarersto'
improvement, rather higher rated havi •
ng in several
instances, been established. The
variations in this
week's bank returns are devoid of importance.
MONEY MARKET, & '
P.
The funds opened this morning with great steadiness
at full advance 'of yesterday, -.but at the close a little
tendency to flatness -prevailed. The transactions of
the day were not important, and loans on Government
securities were obtained with ease at 2 per cent. There
.has,been rather more demand for discount to-day, and
at the Bank the applications were on a slightly increased
scale. A good business has been done in foreign stoOcs,'
and in m'ost cases priced were fairly, supported.—Tiines.
The funds to-day were firm upon the deductiori.of the'
consols dividend. The remarkable firmness of the Paris
Bourse, at the late important advance, Is viewed with
satisfaction. Political anxiety is' steadily 'subsiding,and
buyers; especially those of a bond fide character,' are
coming forward more freely. 'The demand for money

to-day was brisker.. The applications at the Bank were
to a fair extent,_blit the money dealers are still enabled
to supply' themselves without having recourse to that
establishment.' 'Bills are generally declined beloW 29.
per cent. There were no operations in bullion at the
Bank to-day. On 'Change, this afternoon, bills on St.
Petersburgh were inquired for and higher. The rates
on Aastria.and Hamburg were rather lower. The other
exchanges were steady.—Daily News.
