The Star of Peace •
has arrived from 22 Sydney,
bringing £18,112 in gold. She was 83 days on
the voyage.
In the foreign and colonial produce markets dur-
ing the last few days there has been rather less
animation. Sugars have slightly declined, while
coffee, rice, cocoa, and spices have been in limited
request, at barely previous rates. At the public
sales of indigo there has been a fair quantity bought
by the trade, at prices rather under those current
at the February auctions, while in the tallow
market a more cheerful tone has prevailed, quota-
tions for both present and forward delivery having
slightly advanced.

Another new Marine Insurance Company is an-
nounced under the title of the English and Scot-
tish Marine (Limited). The capital proposed is
£1,000,000 (subject to increase), in IQOOO shams
of £lOO each; but it is not intended to call up
more than £lO per share. Attention is drawn to
the fact that none of the large London marine in-
surance companies have as yet established branches
in Scotland. The directors propose to take ad-
vantage of this field and to form their first branch
in Glasgow, where considerable support appears
to be anticipated, upon the ground of the incon-
venience arising from the present system, whereby -
the
principal insurance business of the port has _
hitherto been turned away to London brokers. Some of the figures relating to the trade of Glasgow, I
cited in the prospectus, are certainly very remark- it
able ; the Customs revenue collected at that port
has increased from £72,053 in 1830 to £955,741 in
1862, while the register,tonnage of vessels inwards
and outwards has risen in the interval from 1'
1,437,072 to 3,061,284 tons. It is promised that 1;
there shall be no delay in the commencement of the
company's business, the directors having already sti,
secured numerous promises of support, as well as 'l`,
the services of thoroughly qualified and experienced
underwriters. The board comprises the names of
15 gentlemen engaged in trade in London, Glasgow, is
&c., many of whom possess influence in their re- IC
spective walks of business. la

Two O'.
At Paris, this day, according to Mr.CLOCK Reuter's I
telegram, the Three per Cent Rentes were 69f. 65c.
to 69f. 60o,—heavy.
The market for the English Funds, which opened
this morning with a heavy appearance, has now re-
covered, through a few purchases, to its former ,
position, the quotations being exactly the same as 3
at the close of business yesterday afternoon. Con-
sols are therefore quoted 931 d for money, and 92 k,
less the dividend, for the account. The New Threes I
are firm at 9lk 2; the Reduced remain at 911 47
and Exchequer Bills are heavy, at 3s. to 2s. die.
India 5 per Cents. have improved to 110 k; and the
6k per Cent. Enfaced Paper to 116.
A rather large business has been transacted in ,
several of the principal securities, and considerable
variations have occurred. Turkish 6 per Cents.,
1858, are 704 71; do,, 1862, 711 ; do., Consolides
have declined to 491 60 ex div.; Venezuela 53i
541 ; Spanish Passive have declined to 351 ; do.,
Certificates, after being 14, are now 121 13k ; Greek
have dropped to 32 1 ; do., Coupons, are 154 ; Mexi
can, 37 I ; Grenada have improved to 161 171 ex
div ; do. Deferre 1 to 10} 1 ex div ; Portuguese, to
494 g ; and the Confederate Loan 2 to 1 discount.
The operations in the Railway Share Market
have been limited. A firmer tone, however, has
been apparent. Midlands have improved ss. ; and
Caledonians, North Westerns, and North Eastern
(Berwick), 10s. ; Great Westerns have declined 55.;
and Great Northerns, 10s.
The Foreign and Colonial lines remained inactive,
and exhibit little change of importance in prices.
For Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
there continued a limited inquiry. A slight ad-
vance, however, has in some instances been estab-
lished. Chartered of India, Australia, and China
have improved ss. ; London and Westminster, 6s. t
Royal Mail Steam, 108. ; and Van Diemen's Land,
108.
