Increase of Dividends

in 1852 over 1851—X36,067,

The English Securities have been heavy again,
and there has been very little doing. Consols have
been 1001 to f for Transfer and Account. The
New 3 per Cents. have been at 104 k to #. Bank
Stock is well supported at 224. The precaution-
ary measure o advancing the rate of discount has
thus far had no material influence upon prices, and
if speculation in new and doubtful schemes is
checked, sound investments will benefit. A lead-
ing broker has just invested largely in New 31 per
Cents., supposed to be for the Scotch Bank.
Foreign Storks have been dull, but the sales have
not been to any extent. Spanish Deferred are 231
to The Certificates are 41 per cent. The Turk-
ish Loan is #to discount. Portuguese 4 per
Cents. have b?ca steady at 40. Peruvian 4 per
Cents. are supported at 104 k. Brazilian New Loan
are 934 to Dutch per Cents. are at 66/ ex.
dividend. Austrian 5 per Cents. are 89-i- to 91.
t.
Railway Shares are depressed, but there is not
much doing in them. French Shares are dull,
owing to the continued fay lures at Paris.
The Gold Mines are to lower for those which
rule at from 3/. to Si. per share.
The Land Companies have been flatter. Van
Diemen's down about 21., South Australian 1/. to
21., although really better than after official hours
last evening, and Australian Agricultural about 51.
cheaper. The future price of these shares will de-
pend upon their absorption by the public, and we
understand there is greater activity in the transfer
of them than for years past.

FEMALE ORPHAN ASYLUM.—The usual general quar-
terly court of the governors and subscribers to this in-
stitution, which was founded in 1758, was held yesterday
afternoon in the board room of the charity, Westminster-,
bridge-road, for the pm-pose of receiving the report of
the committee, and upon the general business of the
asylum—Mr. Hyde Williams in the chair. The report
stated that there are in the asylum at the present time
163 children, and that their health and general progress
in the various educational studies pursued in the school
was highly satisfactory. From a general statement ap-
pended to the report, it appeared that the total number
of children admitted since the commencement of the in-
stitution in 1758 to 1852 had been 2,251 ; of whom have
died in the house 217; placed or apprenticed out, 2,180 ;
and employed in the house, and children in the asylum, 157.
Since the year 1796, 746 young women had returned pub-
lic thanks, and received rive guineas each for having
faithfully served their apprenticeship. The balance
showed the total -receipts (including a balance in hand of
1,0711.145. 2d., and a legacy of 2001. from the late Mr.
J. Thackeray), to have been 4,9621. 7. 7d., and after all
the necessary expenses had been defrayed there was left
in the hands of the treasurer the sum of 1,0961. 6s. Bd.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Deafness—New Discovery,-39,
Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, observe, opposite the York
Hotel. The organic vibrator, an extraordinary power-
ful, small, newly-invented instrument, for deafness, en-
tirely different from all others to surpass anything of the
kind that has been, or probably ever can be produced,
being of the same colour as the skin, is not perceptible ;
it enables deaf persors to hear distinctly at church and
at public assemblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing
noises in the ears are entirely removed ; and it affords
all the assib Lance that possibly could be desired. The
Royal Exhibition—valuable newly-invented, very small,
powerful waistcoat pocket glass, the size of a walnut,
to discern minute objects at a distance of from four to
five miles, which is found to be invaluable, for yachting,
and to sportsmen, gentlemen, and gamekeepers. Tele-
scopes, possessing such extraordinary power, that some
34- inches, with an extra eye piece, will show distinctly
Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the double stars.
They supersede every other kind, and are of all sizes for
the waistcoat pocket, shooting, military purposes, &c.
Opera and race-course glasses with wonderful power; a
minute object can be clearly seen, from 10 to 12 miles
distant. Invaluable newly-invented spectacle.—S. &B.
