Railway hold their meeting on Saturday the 9th instant.
It is evident that among the railway Bills seeking to obtain
an Act of Parliament this session this line is attracting very
airOtteable nOtice; This.proposed,railway runs parallel with
thb old Great Western-toad froth London, throtigh Hammera
smith, Brentford, Isleworth, and Hounslow, the' most pofiiid
lows and largest commercial and manufacturing district
within many miles of London. By its bridge across the
Thames it will be the means of connecting the Northern and
Western with the Southern and Eastern Counties, command-
ing on the Surrey side approaches to all the bridges without
creating any additional metropolitan terminus. It is strange
that no railway has yet been made for this dense locality,
seeing that its former coach traffic was greater than in any
other part of the kingdom.
The Indian news received this morning is considered by
the merchants here as most satisfactory. There is now but
little question that trade has taken a turn in the right
direction.

A further improvement has taken place In the market for
the public securities to day. Consols for Account have
reached 96%', and for Money 96%, with a very steady de-'
mand. The premium upon Exchequer-billS too is higher,
sales having just been made at 265. Bank of England
Stock has improved from 204% to- 205%, and the New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. to 97%.
The Foreign Stock Market has not been so active this
morning as it was on Saturday last. Russian Five per Cents.
have varied from 109% to 110%. The only price of Aus-
trian Five per Cents. have been 110% ex-div. The Mexican
Bonds. have been sold freely at 82 and 321% for Money and
the Account: The Spanish Three per Cents. are at :37 ;
Dutch Two- and-a-Half per Cents. at 59%, and the Four per
Cents. at 21% 5%.
The Railway Share. and Scrip Market is buoyant, and
prices have a decidedly upward tendency.

MARKET NEWS.--(THIS DAY.

CORN-EXCHANGE.---MONDAY.

The past week's arrivals of English Wheat coastwise were on a
fair average scale ; but those of all other kinds of grain of home
produce were limited. From Ireland and Scotland the receipts of
Oats were small, while the imports of foreign corn were by far more
limited than for some time previously. Fresh up to day, a moderate
quantity of Wheat came to hand from Essex, Kent, and Cambridge-
shire, coastwise as well as by land carriage and samples, yet the
stands were, by no means heavily filled. The attendance of both
town and Country buyeis was tolerably numerous, hence the finest
qualities of both red and white—which formed bat a small portion
of the supply—commanded a ready sale at filly, bat at riotairg
quotable beyond, the prices obtained on this day se'nuight. In the
middling and inferior kinds exceedingly little business was transatted,
at previous currencies, and a total clearance was not effected.
The accounts received to-day from moat parts of the country re-
specting the general appearance of the young wheat plants state
that the future prospects are good. There was rather more tree
Foreign Wheat on offer, yet the inquiry for that article was very
steady, and last week's prices were well supported. In Bonded
Wheat a fair business was transacted for speculative purposes, bat-
prices underwent no change. The supply in warehouse it still on
the Increase. With Barley 'a e were rather scantily supplied. Fine
Melting Parcels moved off steadily
Irish
and Distilling sorts hung on hand, yet we cannot call them cheaper.
Since our last very few parcels of Malt have come to hand, conse-
quently at very full prices, but Grinding
the show of that article to-day was small. Fine Ware par-
cels supported late figures. In other kinds, comparatively little
business was transacted. From all parts the receipt of Oats have
been scanty. Potato parcels commanded a film inquiry at extreme
currencies ; while the value of all other parcels was well maintained.

From onr own grazing districts we received a full average time of
soar supply of Beasts fresh up this morning, the quality of which
waa unusually fine. The attendance of buyers being by no means
numerous, the Beef trade ruled dull, at a decline in the quotations Of
2cl per Bibs, the highest figure for the best Scots being 4s per albs, and
at which a clearance was not effected. The droves from Norfolk,
Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, embraced nearly 2,000
'cots, home-brads, and Short-horns; irom the Eastern and
Midland districts. 300 Devons, Runts, Herefords, &c. ; from other
parts of England, 200 of various kinds ; and from Scotland 300 Scots.
the
numbers of Sheep were again on the increase, owing to which
the Button trade was somewhat inactive, at prices barely equal to
those obtained on this day s: 'l:inlaid. From the Isle of Wight about
170 Lambs came to hand per railway. On the whole the Larrib trade'
was steady at Friday's depressed rates. In Calves very little was
dollar:
at previous eurrellies, and the Mae may be said Of Pigs.
