The amount of the Stock dividends due this
quarter is nine and a half millions sterling, the pay- ,
ment of which to the public commenced on Friday ;
since when cash has become very abundant at the
Stock Exchange, and Exchequer bills again bear a
premium of 19s. and 20s. On the funds, however,
this influx of money has had lint little effect ; which
may be, in part, attributable to considerable parcels
of Ornithim having been brought forward fur sale,
us well as to the gloom thrown over the market by
the late commercial failures. Consols for the account
opened on Saturday at 78,1 to 74, and rose to 79,
at which price they closed. The Commissioners of
the Sinking Fund purchase, during the quarter
commencing the sth instant, the sum of 78,0001. in
3 per Cents. and 17,0001. in 31 per Cent. Stock,
every transfer day ; thus buying up 4,370,0001.

for the recovery of which we hear a reward of One
Hundred Pounds is offered.
