OYD'S SHIPPING—(THIS DAY.)

CAUTION TO MARINERS.

Conic, JAN. 2-I.—A vessel, of about 400 to 500 tons, aban.
doned, was pass ed on shore on a rock: about 2i miles of the
S.W. point of Porto Rico, by the City of Poonah, Nelson,
arrived here. The rock is not described on the chart, and
i
there appeared ab9ut seven feet water on t.

There was a quiet market for Cotton at Liverpool on Satur-
day, at previous rates. Sales, 3,000 bales, all to the trade.
Shares were lower.

The numerous arrivals from abroad do not, as may be
presumed, bring equally favourable intelligence. The
political accounts from our East Indian possessions,
intimate that there was some fear of treachery at
Lahore, but few here doubt the ability of Lord Her-
dinge to overcome it. The Six per Cent. Loan was filling
up better. In general the markets for imported goods,
whether in India or China, were not active.
The packet-ship Anglo Saxon, with accounts of the sth
inst. from New York, seems to bring a good report to those
who watch with patriotic anxiety the chances of an abundant
supply of food. There is evidently a conviction on the part of
the Americans that they have so large a surplus that it will
be to their interest to sell us as much as they can at existing
rates. In the Metropolitan Corn Exchange these accounts
have had due weight to-day, wheat being dull of sale, while
malt, &c., is decidedly cheaper. At Dublin, and in other
places also, there is a decline in the price of grain.
The news, per steamer, from Jamaica, Demerara, and the
other West India colones, is very cheerful with respect to the
weather and the prospect for the next crops.
In Aris' Birmingham Gazette, received this day, we find
the following just remarks :—" The preduction of railways
is not essentially different from the production of manufac-
tured goods generally—wages have to be paid and circulated
while railways are making, as they have during the process
of other manufactures, and the return of profit will imme-
diately commence in both cases, as soon as the manufacture
is completed ; and supposing railways to be—as they ought
to be—in the hands of capitalists, no inconvenience can arise
from the necessary delay in their completion. With the present
scarcity and high price of provisions, it is well that the labouring
classes have profitable employment, and that our captalists
are compelled to circulate their money, since this must tell
immensely to the national welfare and advantage. Fortu-
nately for the stability and safety of the trade of this impor-
tant district, Birmingham has been comparatively free from
'that undue and unwholesome speculation in railways in 1845,
the consequences of which continue to be gradually developed
in towns where that speculation was carried to so fearful an
extent. Our merchants and manufacturers have, for the
most part, already furled their sails, and are prepared for the
threatening storm, which will pass harmlessly over them if
legitimate credit and confidence be fairly maintained and
supported."
We join our contemporary in the remainder of hie reason-
ing as to the impolicy of the Times, or indeed of any journal
making bad worse by its exaggeration of evils.
We are enabled to state, on the best authority, that the
London and North-Western Company have offered to lease
the Scottish Midland Railway in perpetuity, at 6 per cent.
and half profits; the offer will doubtless be accepted. As
the Scottish Midland joins the Aberdeen line in the neigh-
bourhood of Forfar, it is understood that this offer to the for-
mer is preliminary to the conclusion of the negotiations
between the London and North-Western, which have been
going on for some time for leasing the Aberdeen, in which
case the Euston-square company will next year have an un-
interrupted communication from the metropolis to the north
of Scotland, a distance of more than 500 miles.
The English Funds have been to-day decidedly better.
The rally is in fact % to % per cent. in Consols, owing
mainly to the great improvement in the Rentes at Paris on
Saturday. For transfer to- morrow the quotations have been
903/4 to 90%, and for time 903/4 to 91%. Exchequer-bills
have been Is. higher, viz., 3s. to 7s. premium. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 92% 3/4. Bank
Stock is worth only 203% to 204%, not having participated
in the improvement. East India Stock is marked 248 to 250.
The Foreign Bonds have participated in the improvement
of our own market, and are more dealt in at advancing rates.
Spanish Five per Cent. have been 23 to 23%; and the Three
per Cents. 341% to 34. Portuguese Four per Cent. have
been 34 to 34%; Mexican, 211,4 3% ; Grenada, 183/4 to 19 ;
Brazilian, 84 to 84%; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents., 57 to 1/2.
Shares have been improving, with a moderate business
doing. Caledonian are 253/4 to 26; Great Western, 122 to
124; Brighton, 543; to 55; North-Western, 190 to 191
South-Western, 60Y6 to 613/4 ; Midland, 122 to 121%
North British, 33% 7 ; North Stafford, 73 to ; South
Eastern, 363/1 %; Ureat Northern of France, 11N, to 12
and Boulogne and Amiens, 14%.
