Thera are an immense number of arrivals in the Thames,
owing to the changes of wind, from nearly all parts of the
world, with valuable products of the most varied kind.
The affairs of Ireland are engrossing attention now beyond
everything else. Lord John Russell's expose has of necessity
attracted considerable notice, and there is, upon the
whole, a favourable impression with regard to it. As to the
mode in which the pecuniary supplies are to be raised, it is
presumed that the Chancellor of the Exchequer will be the
medium of communication with the House, but it is impos-
sible to say when. There is a general feeling in the City that
the Budget should always be brought forward early in the
session, as by the late Ministers, and, although other matters
are urgent, it may be hoped that the document will be
early submitted, because there will then be an end of that
worst evil in money matters—protracted uncertainty.
The acounts from Paris being of Sunday's date do not
bring any news of particular interest. Consols have realised
91 to 911/2 fur present transfer, and 911/8 to 91% for tiut •
supporting, therefore, the improved tone of yesterday.
The New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. have been 927 k to
9314. Bank Stock is worth 204 to 2041/2, and Exchequer-
bills have touched 4s. to Bs. premium. East India Stock is
up to 249.
The transactions in the Foreign Market have been of less
extent, but there has been some firmness in the quotations.
Spanish Five per Cents. are 233/4 ys, and the Three per Cents.
341%. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 34 to 34'2.
Mexican Stock has been at 22. Dutch Two-and-a •llalt per
Cents. are 58.
There is not so much doing in Railway Shares, but prices
have ranged higher again in most instances.
