The letters from India and Australia, by way of
Southampton, will not be delivered until the sth
or Gth of August, more than a week Liter than
those via M trseilles, and it is uuderstood that the
cause of such a difference is the smaller power of the
steamers employed. It seems a matter for regret
that now railways offer facilities for the conveyance
of packages of a'inost any proportions, and that
steamers crossing the Channel from Calais to awe'.
can likewise readily convey as many tons as would
be requisite, an arrangement. coal I not be male with
the French Government to lower its charge, so as
to allow of the entire correspondence being landed
at Mrrseilles. A payment of 10d. additional upon
a letter weighing a quarter of an ounce, compared
with the charge via Southampton, is certainly ex-
cessive for the service performed, and hence thefew
letters that collie through France. If or3d. were
charged, the Post-office revenue of our neighbours
must largely gain, as we presume that nine-tenths
of the correspondence, inclu ling that from Aus
trails, now comes • from Egypt direct to South-
ampton. A week is often of importance even to
panics not largely engaged in coin mercial pursuits,
nor can we better illustrate this tLan by the fact
that before the Indian or Colonial letters reach
England by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's
steamer on the sth proximo, the outward mail to
Australia will have left, and- a • mouth's delay will
occur ere another opportunity of steam conveyance
for the mails to the colonic, presents itself.

The acc!muts from Violin s, this morning notice
the extraordinary alacrity with which the volun-
tary loan was being subscribed, and such
patriotism and cheerful exertion evinced by
the population generally should prove the
strongest possible inducement to Austria to
pursue a loyal course and to introduce
a constitutional system. The subser,piionF. flow in
thus freely, there cannot be the slightysk,doubt,
because a feeling of greater contiderteetas arisen
that Austria will go with the Western Powers.
Let her manifest a contrary disposition, and how
different would be the result. It is true that her
hesitation subjects her to mistrust, and that even
now, as some may believe, the movement of tier
armies,—certainly very active acetriling to thi,
morning's advices,--7-is intended to favour the po,
•t
pular enthusiasm. Even the waiters at the hote's
were subscribing, and at the Café Dattm, more th n
6,000 guildera were written fur. The maximum
sum of 5d0,000,000 guilders will no doubt be rea-
lised, and Austria has reason to be thankful that
of late years she could no longer raise foreign loans,
and that she has had the courage to evoke the
sympathy of the public. The opportunity for re-
trieving her finances and establishing equilibrium
be; wren the income and expenditure was never
better.

The Funds have a firmer tone again, and this
notwithstanding there is a very limited busines,.
doing, and au absence of any impoaant foreign
news. Money is easy, being worth about 3 pc;
cent. npdin stock, while in the discount market the
Kest bills can be done at 514-. Consols have realised
94 to 92 for transfer, and 92k to 94 for August.
lite New 34 per Ci-nts. have been done at 92 t,
93k, and the 3 per Cents, at 921 to 1,. Exchequer
Bills have bt-en at par to 3s. prein., and the Bind,
have been dealt in at 9.31 to K.
There have not been half a dozen bargains in
the foreign market. Russian 5 per Cents. have
been quoted 98k, and Dutch 4 per Cents. 911.
Brazilian Old 5 per Cents. have been at 99k.
The following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds' 6 to 6i ; Mexi-

The settlement of the account in the Rail wa3
Market now occupies the Chief attention, hut it is
not a he ivy an' r. Great Northern, North Western,

THE CHARTERED BANE OF INDIA.—In the case of the
Chartered Bank of India, Australia, and China, judgment
was given yesterday afternoon by the Lords Justices.
It was to the effect that an injunction should be granted,
until further order, to restrain the directors from the
attempted forfeiture of shares fur the nonpayment of
calls, and to prevent a compulsory execution of the deed.
The cause, on its intrinsic merits, of course remains to
be heard, and will perhaps come ou about Christmas.
LOANS TO THE WEST INDIA ISLANDS.—A Parliamen-
tary return, published yesterday, gives an account of
the loans advanced by the Government to proprietors in
the West Indies. Tile total stuns advanced to the

and Dominica, amounted to 948.0001., of which 278 000/.
