DTYEZIN, SEIXAST, AND COLERAINE.

. This 13111 which is unopposed was briefly opened by counsel, and
after the tendering of evidence, the preamble was declared to be
proved, the clauses agreed to, and the Bill passed.
DUBLIN AND ENNISZ.ILLEN.
This Bill was next taken.

Mr. AusTrts, Q.C„ having explained the objects of the Bill, fie.,
and stated that the estimated cost of the line was 340,0001, said that
a portion of the shareholders had petitioned against the Bill, on the
ground that the Bill no longer contained the entire project which was
originally submitted to the house of Lords, and for which they said
they Lad Subscribed; but it was quite clear that those petitioners
could not be heard, because at the time that they signed the docu-
ment wh„tek—,l39iimsl.-41,4na as, In —U.. undertakin

Jor authorised tho direetcr es a -matter 'of course, to
proceed to Parliament, either for the whole line, or for
parts of the line, or to make any such alterations as they in
their judgment might deem fit. The Irish North Midland Company
(who had been defeated in the House of Lords), and the Belfast
Junction Company were also petitioners against the Bill, the latter
with respect to the Company's proposed line between Navan and
Eel's. Ile had no doubt, however, that the Committee would decide
that these petitioners had no good grounds of objection, and that the
Bill should be permitted to pass.
Evidence was then tendered on behalf of the Bill, and at four
o'clock the Committee adjourned until twelve to-morrow.

STOCK EXcnANGE.—It is now apparent that money ..., -- "e
into the Share Market for Investment, as a steady demand exists for
all good old Stocks, and prices are in most instances Improved. In
Scrip there is not much to note, save that in nearly all cases where
the success of Parliamentary efforts leads to the expectation of fur-
ther calls being made on the shares, pr.ceB recede. There is about
an average demand in lines agreed to be abandoned, but of course at
a rate of discount greater than the amount supposed to be expended.
In general, where it is likely that a wind-up will take place, more
money will eventually be realised by holding on than by selling at
present, but the delay will be considerable before all disputed claims
are adjusted and the final return of deposits made. There has been
a good deal of inquiry for time bargains in registered Stocks, but
very little encouragement has yet been given to such speculations.
The desire for prospectiva purchases shows, however, that anticipa•
tions are favourable to the probability of advancing prices rather
than otherwise. The declarations of the July dividends will take
place shortll-, and are looked forward to with anxiety. It will be
well if expectations on this head do not meet with some disappoint-
ment. The sales are—Eastern Counties, York Extension, Us. Gd.
