tracted its liabilities.
, From Melbourne, Port Philip, we have papers of the
6th of May. The state of agricultural and trading affairs
was tolerably prosperous.
Although it is imperative that railway calls should be
moderated, there should be some moderation in the ex-
cessive outcry raised against different companies, as a
party interested justly remarks:—
" Has it been of no slight advantage that at
a time that all Ireland was starving, and our
own manufactories were at a stand still, five hundred
thousand men were employed in this country usefully
and profitably in the creation of railways? Undertak-
ings of benefit to each individual, that have carried with
them wealth to every place they have touched, and
that must economise the strength and service of our
army, that must to Government be the means of great
national defence, in addition to the unspeakable benefits
the manufacturer, the agriculturist, the mining interest,
and the whole community enjoy from the rapid and
cheap transit now afforded them. And yet to proclaim
that capital so employed is unproductive, appears
to be about as wise as to prohibit the daily national
expenditure in newspapers, or any other article of public
utility. The real and indisputable truth is, we have
undergone a year of severe visitation in the deficiency of
our crops, and whether we had railways or none,
the same distress would have existed, only, perhaps,
in a less mitigated form ; for the capital which, in
1844 and 1845, found employment in railway invest-
ments, would, in all probability, but for these under-
takings, have sought a return in foreign bonds and
foreign enterprise, which, sad as things now are,
may have left our affairs still worse. Regarding the
railway calls, it seems to escape general notice, that the
railway companies have had much difficulty in renewing
debentures falling due, and hence the pressure of calls
has been increased by the necessity of providing for
this contingency ; but we blame directors for having
made calls beyond what they had led their shareholders
to expect." .
The public Securities have been to day exceedingly
heavy again, and with no apparent disposition to rally
them. Several large Bull accounts have been closed
within the last day or two, and the scarcity of money
makes a growing impression upon the value of the funds,
aggravated as it is by the serious reduction in the re-
venue. Tranfers are being effected in most of the English
securities, ex dividend, as the books are re-opened, and
the payments commence on Wednesday. Consols
have been 83k to 82i for Transfer, and 83k to 82i for
Account. Exchequer Bills have been 12s to 6s discount,
and East India Bonds 183 to 25s discount. Bank Stock
has realised 1851 to 182 k ex. dividend, and India Stock
is as low as 222. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have been 83i to 83, and the Reduced Three per
Cents. 82k to 81k.
In the Foreign Market there is very little doing. Por-
tuguese Four per Cents. have been 21k to 22k, and Spa-
nish Three per Cents. 271. Mexican Bonds have been
at 19. Brazil Stock has realised 76 to 78. Danish
Bonds have been 801 to 81, and Russian 1041 to 105.
Dutch Two-and-a •Half per Cents. are 531.
Railway Shares are all lower, and there is a great
difficulty in effecting sales. Caledonian are 34 to k ;
Eastern Counties 16k I ; Great North of England, 220;
Great Western, 98i ; North-Western, 150 to 152 ;
South-Western, 56 ; Midland, 109 ; South-Eastern, 28
:o 29 ; and York, Newcastle, and Berwick, 30f to 311.
