We still continue without any further arrivals, consequently
we have no intelligence to communicate; the chief feature in
the- funds is the settling of the foreign account this day, which
is a heavy one in Spanish ; in addition to which sales of the
above Stock have been effected, particularly by certain parties
who are continually watching the rise and fall in the price of
the above stock, taking advantage of the market. The intel-
ligence from Madrid of a new issue of paper money to a large
amount, has also had the effect to cause the above stock to re-
,eette from the price in the early part of the morning, 24i to
27* 4, although the extreme fluctuation has been in Spanish
during thy' account, about 2i to 24 per cent., we do not hear
of any failures in the market.

da s.

LANCASTER AND PRESTON RAILWAY.-
We understand that the Galgate embankment, which is ge-
nerally considered the heaviest work on the line, is at length
finished. Mr. Locke, the engineer of the line, accompanied by
the secretary and other gentlemen, made a progress throughout
the line a day or two since, and expressed the pleasure they felt
at finding the works in so forward a state. No doubt was ex-
dressed that the line would be opened fir traffic early in the
month of June, or indeed even earlier than that if any special
occasion existed for the acceleration. Contrary to general
report, Mr. Locke found the works at the Preston terminus in
a still more forward state than any other parts of the line. The
shareholders of the railway are in high spirits at the prospect
held out by Mr. Justice Coleridge, of a return of a great por-
tion of the Assize business to Lancaster from Manchester and
other places east of Liverpool, as promising a material in-
crease to their returns. A special general meeting of the
shareholders is called for on Thursday next, to carry out the
objects of the Company's Act, which received the Royal Assent
on Monday.—Lancaster Guardian.

Madame Vestris has prevailed on Mr. Charles
kemble to perform five nights more previous to his departure
for Italy to join his daughter, Miss Adelaide Kenible. Bene-
dict and Charles Surface will be bis next characters. The re-
ceipts at Covent-garden on Tharsday evening equalled those on
Tuesday night.
NEEDLES' LlGllT.—Various complaints have
been made from pilots, coasters, and others, as to the great in-
feriority of the present Needles' Light to its former brilliancy.
It is stated not to be visible at anything like the former dis-
tance. The St. Katherine's Light, on the contrary, is splen-
didly bright.— United Service Journal,
Major-Gen. F. J. T. Johnston, C. 8., command-
ing in Oude, on the Ath of January was appointed to temporary
command of the Cawnpore division, on the departure of Major-
General H. Oglander, C. 8., or until further orders, sad

ST. LUKE'S, CIIELsEA.-The fantastic freaks
of one party swelling in full-blown importance, and the frantic
feeling so perpetually displayed by the other in this rate-ridden
arid distracted district, has led some persons to suppose that
there must be more than a merely nominal relationship be-
tween the parish of St. Luke's and the Lunatic Asylum so
called. The great question which now engages the energies of
the publico-parochial functionaries, it seems, is a werkhouse
only.
The Countess Dalherg Acton and her son, the
youthful Sir John Acton, left the Clarendon yesterday, on a
visit of a few clays to R. G. Throgniorten, Esq., at his scat

We are happy to hear that the letters received
by yesterday's post from Monaghan, give a more favourable
account of the Earl of Rossmore s health than could have been

His Lordship's disorder had at length yielded to the treatment
of his physicians, and a favourable change had taken place, and
his Lordship's gradual recovery was looked forward to.
