The fact of the Bank of England making no
change in the rate of interest has imparted more
confidence to the Money Market, but there is no
diminution in the demand for discounts, and high
terms are in all instances charged. Some anxiety
is expressed with regard to the Bank Return to be
published in this evening's Gazette. as it is feared
that very important alterations will be manifested
consequent upon the payment of the dividends
which commenced on the Bth instant. A decline
is expected in the bullion, owing to recent with-
drawals, as all the late receipts of specie from
Australia and America have been sent to the
Continent.

We continue to have only a limited business
transacted in the Public Stocks and Securities, and
the pricet,, as for a long time past, are w;thout any
variation of importance. This is the first regular
transfer day for Consols, and it is expected that
there will now be more real business. Consols for
Money have been marked as high as 93$ and
the account quotations have remained at 94 to
94k; They however receded to 94 sellers. The
New 3 per Cents. are 94} the Reduced, 94 to
94k, and the Long Annuities, 21, 15-16th, Bank
Stock is 2164 to 2171, and East India Stock 220.
Exchequer Bills are depressed at 2s discount to
2s premium.

' In the London Railway Stock and Share Market

Northern have receded lOs ; Great Western, 5s ;
South Western, ss; Midland, bs; North Eastern,
Berwick, lOs; ditto York, lOs; Eastern Counties
improved about ss; Brighton, lOs to 75s ;
and Scottish North Eastern, ss. The French

To-day there was a meeting of the Lancashire,
Yorkshire, and East Lancashire Railway Com-
panies, held at Bury, . for the purpose of con-
sidering and deciding upon a proposal for
the amalgamation of the Companies, and also for
uniting and amalgamating into one undertaking
the said two railways; rights, privileges, properties,
and effects. A fter a short address from the
Chairman, Thomas Dugdale, Esq., and other
gentlemen, the motion was agreed to.

We continue to have large arrivals of wheat and
flour from the United States, but the supplies of
Indian corn are only of moderate extent. The
imports from Ireland of oatmeal, for the last
weeks, have been considerable, and of other ar-
ticles quite of an average. The grain trade is still
characterised by great inactivity, and with large
