COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
One of the latest and perhaps most promising
of joint-stock enterprises that have been brought be-
fore the notice of the public is the Land Credit
Company of Ireland. Unlike the other portiuns of
the United Kingdom, almost now overcrowded with
undertakings to facilitate the development of their
resources, Ireland alone has remained up to the
Present time without the advantages such combined
efforts are sure to confer, although she has most
lamentably needed them, while, strange to say,
since 1852, many of the ablest and best of her fere•
most men have suggested the establishment of a public
company for obtaining advances upon their estates.
The direct)rs of this new undertaking, desirous
as far as possible to assist in the advancement and
Prosperity of the country, intend to unite the ope-
rations of a finance company for negotiating loans
upon real and personal securities, as well as con-
tracts for railways and other public works ; of a
land credit company,for buying,selling, and making
advances on, and dealing in, real property of all de-
scriptions and tenures, including the erection of
buildings thereon, and improving or repairing the
Same ; of a land improvement company, for reclaim-
ing and draining lands, and constructing roads;
and, lastly, as agent for affording the means to
capitalists for securing a limited interest in under-
takings of a local character. The nominal capital
of the project is fixed at £1,000,000, and the first
issue will comprise 10,000 shares of £5O each.
The prospectus has also been issued of the
Humber Iron Works and Ship Building Company,
which proposes to purchase and extend the iron ship
building business of Messrs. Martin Samuelson and
Company of Hull. The establishment now covers
eleven acres of ground, with water frontage to the
rivers Humber and Hull, and it is intended to
take another eleven acres adjoining the yard so as
to extend the works to meet the demand for ship
building, and to erect rolling mils for the manu-
facture of iron required for ships as well as for all
kinds of railway and engineering work. The
Capital is to be £1,000,000, in 20,000 shares of £5O
each, half of which have been already subscribed.

The Stock Exchange markets exhibit a dull ap-
pearance, through the want of active speculation. As
business is limited so are the variations in prices.
The English Funds continue, however, to be well
maintained. Consols are 911 1 for money, and 911
for the account. The New Threes and Reduced An-
nuities are 891 4 ; Exchequer Bills, 4s. Bs. die. ;
India 5 per Cents 1051 ; :Enfaced 5 per Cents.,
1041; ditto 51 per Cents., 1121.
The Foreign Market opened with a buoyant
appearance, but prices are now rather flatter, and
the amount of business transacted is very small.
Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 711 72 ; do., ClID•
solides, 531; Mexican, 451 46 ; do., New Loan,
t a prem. ; Greek, 24/ 254 ; do., Coupons, 111 12 ;
Spanish Passive, 35/ 36; Portuguese, 491; and
the Confederate Loan, 56 58.
In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
been on a very limited scale, and prices have not
Varied to any important extent. North Western
and South Eastern have improved 55., while Metro-
politan have declined Ns.; and Bristol and Exeter,
£l.

The Foreign and Colonial lines show little
change of importance.

stances at slightly enhanced prices. Bank of Lon.
