HALF-PAST ONE:
A notice is posted at Lloyd's this morning for tenders of
transports to convey to Halifax and Quebec 1,600 men, with
77 officers.
Since the early part of the morning there has been a re-
action in the British funds. Consols, which were 88if 89 for
the Account, have since reached 89 to 89k, at present 89;

Transports going to be taken by Government to convey
troops and officers to Quebec and Halifax does not appear to
have had any effect upon the British Market. Report says
that en the whole 4,000 are to be sent.

In the Foreign Market very little doing. Spanish Active
not quite so good, 23i ; Portuguese, which reached 334 34,
have receded to 33-a ; Three per Cents. 20i ; Brazilian 72 ;

_HE RINCESS ROYAL.---We have received
several letters on the subject of a most malicious rumour,
as it concerns this illu trious personage. It has been
stated that her Royal Highness is blind, and of imperfect
intellect; but we can assure our readers, and the public
generally, that the Princess can see quite as well as the
be,t of them, and tint, in mental capacity, she is gifted
beyond her ,g-i..—Court Journal.
THE KENDAL RAILWAY.—The Railway
Commissioners, appointed by Government to inquire into
the best line of communication from London to Edinburgh
and Glasgow, have now presented their final Report on
this question, and have decided in favour of the Kendal
line to Carlisle, and in continuation from Carlisle to Scot-
land in favour of the line by Beatock Bridge. This sets
at rest, for ever, the question as between the east coast and
the west, and the Newcastle " bodies" will now see how
much better it is quietly to work out the intrinsic merits of
a project (as we have done on this side the country) thin
to feed vain hopes by extravagant assertions. The favour-
able decision of this question is of the greatest importance
to Westmorland, and especially to the town of Kendal.
The manufacturing interests of this town require some
act've stimulus. We plainly perceive that the town, if
not retrograding, is, at least, stationary, and nothing can
save it from decline but the realization of those improve-
ments which other towns are fast seizing. The elements
of our produce must be cheapened, and the means of com-
munication with the markets facilitated to the utmost de-
gree, or else our trade will leave us.—Kendal Mercury.
