tf ONE Y MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

An active demand is stilt experienced in the
general money market, and the rates exhibit firm-
ness.

At the Bank of England yesterday the bullion
operations were rather important, £39,000 in bar
gold having been sent into the establishment, while
90,000 sovereigns were withdrawn for transmission
to Constantinople.

The prospectus has recently appeared of the Pho-
togenic Gas Company, the object of which is to
purchase M. Mangruel's patent, with a view to its
general introduction throughout the kingdom. The
light is said to be obtainable either from ordinary
gas or atmospheric air, to possess great brilliancy,
and to be free from ammoniacal and sulphurous
acid vapours. Besides these desiderata, it is stated
to be less costly than ordinary gas, and that its use
will not necessitate great alterations in existing
fittings. Application for licences by sub-companies
have been made to the patentee to apply the atmos-
pheric air to the lighting of railway stations, vil-
lages, &c. The capital is fixed at £200,000, in
shares of £5 each.

The Dunaburg and Witepsk Railway is a Rus-
sian line, projected under a concession granted by
the Imperial Government, and the company has a
fixed nominal capital of £2,600,000, on which the
Czar guarantees an annual interest of 5 per cent.
for 85 years, and an additional one•twelfth per cent.
to redeem the capital at par at the expiration of
that term by annual drawings, commencing the first
year after the completion of the works. The com-
pany is constituted according to English law,
with directors residing in London, and an agency
in Riga. The Government guarantees to pay the
interest in sterling money, and not, as in previous
cases, in roubles, and to pay the interest and sink-
ing fund half-yearly. The net receipts of the line
are applicable in relief of the guarantee, but the
company is authorised, in priority, to set apart 10
per cent., to the extent of £lOO,OOO, to form a re-
serve fund against contingencies, and the share-
holders are to be entitled to all profits up to
6 per cent., and to one half of all further
profits, above 6 per cent., until the Government be
reimbursed the monies it may have paid in respect
of the interest; after which the shareholders are
entitled to the whole of the profits. The line will
be 161 English miles in length, connect Dunaburg
with Witepsk, and enable the wheat-growers of
Sindlensk, Mohilew, &c., to transport their produce
at all seasons of the year, as well as at a less cost
than the present cumbersome means afford. The
shares are quoted / 14 prem.

and Lincoln have receded 52. ; Great Eastern, Great
Western, Midland, and North Eastern (Berwick),
10s.; North Western, 155.; and London and Black-
-wall, £l.

workmanship in the production of furniture and other home
brevetdecora, conferred tions, the Emperor Napoleon has yet, by imperial
upon Messrs. Jackson and Graham, of

STATUE OF SITAKESFERE OVER DRURY-LANE
PoßTico. —A correspondent writes to us in refer-
ence to the proposed performance at 011 Drury," in aid
of the Shakapere Monument Fund, that the statue over the
portico in; Brydges-street might be obtained for a very
small sumwould of
re money, and that, in that case, two advan-
tages sult, that,
a very good figure
ready to hand, and securing its removal from a spot where
it is lamentably inappropriate and out of place, for there
theh image of the immortal bard stands, pointine•
wit significance to a blank playbill,
saying, as plainly as a statue can say, " eis
way going on here I" Where They will
nothing in my
find a suitable place for the statue, adds the writer, remains
to be seen; but at any rate, they do lot appear to care much
about him in that neighbourhood,
