The Sun.
London, England, 1847-12-23 00:00:00

The mail steamer from the West Indies is still due.

At a meeting of the Canada Company now being held,
the report of the directors was satisfactory as to the
progress made of improvement and settlement in the
Upper Provinces, especially in the Huron tract. The
emigration, especially from Ireland, had been very
large, but not productive, as so much- ill health had
prevailed. The company had sold and leased this year,
up to the 24th of November last, 101,995 aeres. A divi-
dend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum for the half-
year was agreed to.
The Public Securities have been very steady this
morning, and there was some buoyancy in anticipation
:hat the Bank of England would lower its minimum rate
of discount. Consols have alternated from 85/ to 85i
fur the January account. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. have been 864 to It, and the Reduced
Three per Cents. MI to 85. Exchequer-bills have
been 9s. and lls, premium. Bank Stock is 1864 to 188.
In the Foreign Markets the dealings have been very
limited. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 181, and
the Three per Cents. 301. Portuguese Four per Cents.
are 22 to 23. Brazil Stock has been 79 to 81, and Mexi-
can Bonds are at about 17i to 18. Dutch Two-and-a
Half per Cents. are 56.
Railway Shares have been Viet, but rather firmer,
especially the French lines.
