The directors of the Great Indian Peninsula
Railway Company have made a call of L 2 per
share, payable on or before the 29th inst.
The following remarks upon the tea trade are
from Messrs. Layton, Hulbert, and Co.'s circular :
" The great feature of the past fortnight has been the ar-
rival of the new season's Congou, ex Fiery Cross and Fly-
ing Spur; the former reaching this on the 27th ultimo
the latter on the following day. Owing to the general want
of quality, and the very high cost of these classes in China,
a most unsatisfactory opening is to be noted, and less
business is reported than in almost any previous season
a comparatively small quantity only having changed hands
at prices ranging from 2s. 2d. to 2s. 103. per lb. Judging
from the lukewarmness shown by the trade generally, as
also by shippers, no great activity is looked for till prices
recede to a more moderate scale, though a fall may be
already quoted, say of fully 2d. to 3d. on the few opening
sales. Increased business has taken place in old teas
during the past few days ; in good common congou and
broken-leaf kinds a fair amount of activity has prevailed at
about previous rates; common red-leafed sorts are more
inquired after; the better grades also have been saleable
from Is. 3d. to Is. 7d. per lb. A large parcel of black-leaf,
ex Damio, has changed hands ; prices, however, do not
transpire. Common Tayshans are as last advised ; there is
but little doing in fine Kaishows, the rates demanded not
being as yet sufficiently tempting for dealers ; souchongs with
quality sell readily at quotations; flowery pekoe continues
dull of sale, and can only be quitted at low prices ; new
scented orange pekoe and caper have sold as high as 3s. and
2s. 4d. respectively ; oolongs have sold from ls. 10d. to
2s. 4d. per lb. Large sales have taken place in greens, and
quotations are again lower ; young hysons show the largest
decline, and are difficult to move at the reduction. The
bulk of the cargo, ex Damio, has been sold, and consider-
able sales are making ex Bacchante. Japan qualities of
green are also cheaper, while uncoloured are as last advised,
qualities below ls. 7d. are now scarce, having been taken
principally for export to Canada and the States, The esti-
mated stock in the United Kingdom is 61,832,0001b5.
against 62,57.5,0001 b. last year; and the quantity afloat
26,957,0001 b. and 22,953,0001 b. respectively.

Two O'CLOCK.

No further alteration has occurred in the market

fiat at 9211; Bank Stock remains at 2361; India
ditto, 228 and 229 ; and the 5 per Cent. Loan, 1091-.

dealt in ; the only movement of importance, how-
ever, has been a rise of 1 per cent. in Turkish Con-
solideb, owing to several purchases;

ditto 1858, at 681; /-; and the Scrip is heavy at 1

11 prem. ; Spanish Passive are 221; and the Cer-
tificates, 101-- ; Italian 5 per Cents., are 73/ 1.

been moderately active, and prices have, in some
instances, slightly improved. Caledonians, Great
Easterns, Great Northerns, and North Westerns
advanced 55., and Bristol and Exeter, and North
Eastern (York), 10s. Brightons, however, have de-
clined 15s.

The Foreign and Colonial lines continued with
out any material variation.

THE STORY OF KATE HANCOMB.—But the
season for the indulgence of mournful sentiments and sub-
dued regrets was past ; the uncontrollable terrors of death
and judgment were upon her. If she would do anything,
it must be done quickly—some decision was imperative ; and
her heart failed within her as she seemed to be sinking
lower and lower in her tenderly guarded deathbed. She
could not deceive herself ; her crime was utterly selfish.
Happily, no voice ever called her mother. No children
were born of her second worthless marriage, to give her a
motive, colourable even to herself, for maintaining her suc-
cessful deception. Maternal affection could not interpose
to mask the enormity of any part of her guilt ; and all that
she had acquired, at such a ruinous price, was pegging from
her,—and become, long before d,ssolution, entirely void,
indifferent, and wearisome. Of the many luxuries with
which her lover had surrounded her--of all the costly,
beautiful, and delicious things that she had won or worn--
only a bed to die upon, only some coldl water to moisten her
lips, could she use or accept theonf.thatniohveeresst!te of painful
