Much interest and conversation has taken place in

the City this morning upon the subjtct of the East India
Railway, it having been stated that at the Secret Court
of the Directors of the East India House, to be held this
afternoon, the report of the eminent engineer, Mr.
Simms, sent out to ascertain the practicability of con-
structing railways in India, and the best line to be
commenced, is to be read. It is hardly probable
that the report referred to, though looked for with great
anxiety, will be made public, before it has been for-
warded in due course for the consideration of the Indian
Board connected in the administration of the af-
fairs of the country, in conjunction with the Di-
rectors in Leadenhall-street. Latterly there have
been some considerable transactions in the East
India Railway Shares, and should the report cur-
rent prove correct that 4 per cent. is to be guaranteed,
with half profits after a certain period, the market for all
scrips of railway contemplated to be made in the vast
country under consideration, must be most materially
enhanced.

Beyond the advices which we publish of the state of
affairs at the Cape of Good Hope, there is little in the
private letters requiring comment, as they are princi-
pally filled with commercial matters, and upon the whole
it is represented to us that the condition of trade is very
satisfactory.
All the Public Securities are a fraction lower than they
were yesterday. Consols for the Account have just
been done at 95, and for immediate transfer to 947.
The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are down
to 94. Bank Stock is firm at 2064 ; Exchequer-bills
have receded to 13s. premium ; India Bonds have been
quoted at 275. premium.
In the Foreign Stocks there have not been any impor-
tant variations to-day. Austrian Metalliques have im-
proved to 1114 ; the Brazilian are at 85/ ; the Mexican
at 23i 4.
Mr. Murphy, the financial agent of the Mexican
Republic has given his promised exposé as to the debt
and the late conversion. He contends that he had full
powers to effect the conversion, and expresses his firm
conviction that it cannot, or ought not, to be set aside.
Mr. Murphy's statement, in extenso, will be found in
another part of The Sun.
Portuguese Four per Cents. for Account are at 42i,
Spanish Actives at 26, the Three per Cents. at 371, the
Dutch Four per Cents. at 92i 92, and the Brazilian
at 85i.
The Railway Share and Scrip Market is tolerably
active to-day. East India Scrip has been sold at 1 to
premium.
