Railway t3hares were rather better.
There ;is a large quantity of Colonial Produce to be
offered b? public sale this week.
The L, s bon mail has arrived, but does not bring any
news of i mportance upon financial affairs, and the ex-
citement a.,;)out the dividend suspension seems to have
died off.
The pr )prietors of the Colonial Bank have just held
their hale '-yearly meeting, and received a very satisfac-
tory rep »:t as to the state of their affairs. The divi-
dend decl cored is 1 per cent. for the half-year, being

The Qua rterly Revenue statement has been favourably
received iis the City, and ,there is great confidence in a
coetinued productiveness under the reduced scale of
Cust3ms' d uties and general taxation.
The Ell glish Stock Market has been rather firmer
this morni rig, with moderate dealings. There is a better
feeling wi to respect to political affairs, and some hope is
entertaine d that at the Cabinet Council next Thursday
the future of the Ministry will be determined, as most
persons lif tre would prefer to see them out at once,
rather tt Lim haggling to patch up a Government.
