The sale of Railway Shares yesterday, by Messrs. Lamond
and Co., went off steadily; good shares were sought after,
and a large business was done. The following are a few
of the principal sales :

The New Loan is quoted nominally 1/2 to 1 premium this
morning, and the estimates of the price which should be bid
vary from 88% to 89%; though it is impossible to say, as
Messrs. Rothschilds and Barings are now expected to be the
only houses which will make up lists—though corporate
bodies may tender on their own account— what will be the
terms offered. We still incline to the opinion
that, as the competition is narrowed, the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer may probably have to
open his sealed paper, and declare the minimum, leaving the
parties present to take it then upon the Government terms if
they please. We believe that even the most influential
houses in the City have recently been Bears of Stock, and
consequently will require some of the new loan to complete
the deliveries which they may have contracted for; but al-
though in the interest of the public it must be desirable
that the Chancellor should get the best possible terms,
it is also necessary that the allowance be made
for probable variations in the Money Market, and the
difficulty that may be experienced in making up the monthly
instalments.
In the year 1835 Messrs. Itothschilds took the loan at the
rate of 101/. 14s. 3d., viz., 75/. Consols, worth 90%; 25/.
Reduced Three per Cents., worth 91; and 18s. 11d. Long
Annuities, worth 16%.
The following are the principal items in the Bank of Eng-
land returns for the week to Feb. 20 :

The Funds have been rather better to-day. Consols re-
alising 901/8, and since 901%s for transfer next week, and
90% for April 15. Exchequer-bills have been down to
3s. to 4s. premium. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents, are steady at 92% to 93.
The foreign investments have been very well maintained,
though chiefly at nominal rates.
The Railway Share Market is buoyant, and higher prices
have been obtained in most instances.

large purchasesof horses for the cavalry. It is also stated that
orders have been received from Berlin, in the province of
Pomerania and Posen, to organise the second and fifth corps
