ST. GEORGE, HANGOVER-SQUARE.—On Thursday
last, about 400 of the children belonging to the South-street
schools were treated to an excursion to the Rye-Louse at
Hoddesdon, Herts. They were conveyed from the school-
house in vans to the Eastern Counties Railway, Shoredi!ch,
and from thence by an express train to the Rye-house,
where they arrived about 12 o'clo, k, and soon began to en-
joy themselves in several rustic games. At 1 o'clock they
partook of an excellent dinner, abundantly served in the old,
hall, to which they did ample justice; after grace and two
hymns had been sung, they gave hearty cheers for the
Queen, the Marquis of Westminster, the patron of the
schools ; the rector, Mr. Knox ; and the masters and raja'
tresses. Open air amusements were again resumed until
5 o'clock, when tea and cake were plentifully sup
them. The gentlemen composing the school fetee cßev.

THE EXCITEMENT IN NEW FOREIGN

LOANS.

(From the Money Market Review.)
We drew the attention of our readers last week
to the probability of the introduction of a large
number of new projects, and even of a sort of mania
arising for new foreign loans. This anticipation is
being realised even more rapidly than we had ex-
pected. The week now closing has been marked
by the announcement of no less than three new
foreign loans—namely, the Venezuelan, the Peru-
vian, and the Egyptian, all of which are at consi-
derable premiums; thus indicating a decided ap-
petite on the part of the public for this kind of spe-
culation. Including the Portuguese, which is not
yet allotted, there are now four foreign loans on
the market together. Yet the market is not strained,
and the high premium on both the Egyptian issues
combined with the enormous extent of the applica-
tions for the Portuguese, and with the fact that the
Venezuelan Loan had already, up to last evening,
been subscribed for seven times over, argues a very
large capacity on the part of the speculative public.
It must be borne in mind that the individual amount
of each loan is limited. For example, the new
Venezuelan stock is so small in amount that the
whole
will probably speedily disappear amongst the
numerous connections of the great house which has
brought it forward. Again, the Peruvian Loan is
to consist in part of a mere fusion of the existing
Peruvian stocks, which are to be taken in lieu of
cash. Although we believe that there will yet be
in the future a vast deal of speculation and even ex-
citement in the foreign stock-market, and more par-
ticular ly in the scrip of new loans, there seems rea-
son to apprehend that for the moment the market
will have a fit of indigestion unless it observes more
moderation.
