HALF-PAST ONE.

The Overland Mail from India has arrived at Marseilles in
thirty days from Bombay, being the shortest time it has ever yet
been accomplished in. The dates from Bombay are of the lit
May. The news from China is of great importance. On the
25th February the Bogue Forts were taken by the British, who
marched on to Canton. The Emperor will not yield. Rein-
forcements had been sent from Calcutta. Keshin had been
disgraced, and sent in irons to Pekin. Sir George Bremer
arrived on the 22d of April at Calcutta.
_ _

The above intelligence caused considerable excitement in the
City, particularly among the Tea speculators, and the price
has advanced 2d. per pound, with a firm market.

The news from ^China has had little or no effect upon the
Funds. Consols are now quoted at 891 90 for Money, and 90i
for the Account. Exchequer Bills 11 13 prem. Money is
very scarce to-day in the Stock Exchange.
In the Share Market there has been but little business doing.
Great Western are quoted at 94 ; London and Brighton, 45i ;
North Midland, 67 ; York and North Midland, 7 ; New
Shares, 20k.
The business doing in the Foreign Securities has been but
limited. Portuguese Five per Cents. are now quoted at 33%,
ditto Three per Cents. 20,-I ; Spanish Active Stock, 23i ;
Mexican 28h.

TWO O'CLOCK

Consols are steady at 90A.
Tea speculators were all on the qui vine : the more so from
the fact of public sales having commenced at ten o'clock in the
morning of about 10,000 packages. The market for Tel, as
i 4 %Nell known, has been in an exceedingly dull state for some
time past, owing to the frequency of the auctions brought for-
ward, and up to the receipt of the accounts received from
China this morning, prices were ruling much the same as pre-
yioutly, but at present we may quote an advance of 2d. to 2Ad
per lb.
