during the week ending on Saturday, Nov. 21, was 26f.
86c., and that of rye 21f. 25c. per hectolitre. This is a

prolong it wholly or in part till the Ist December, 1847.
" Art. 4. The present law shall be in force the day
after its promulgation.

CHEAP METROPOLITAN TRAVELLING.—The re•
duction which has recently taken place in the fares of
many of the omnibuses plying in the metropolis has
completely answered, in a pecuniary sense, the views of
the proprietors. The omnibuses running between Pad-
dington and the Bank, which have reduced their fares
one-half, draw more money by each journey than when
the charges were at their original amount. On Wed-
nesday, one of the cheap Paddington omnibuses carried
in four journeys to and from the Bank, the extraordi.
nary number of 135 passengers. 'The only drawback
which those omnibus proprietors, who have reduced
their fares, have to complain of in connexion with the
experiment is, that the frequent stoppages consequent
on the reduction of fares, hurt the horses' necks, owing
to their collars pressing against their skin. In Liver-
pool a number of new omnibuses have been started on
the principle of charging one penny per mile, and it is
said that the same principle will soon be introduced into
London, so that persons going any distance along the SALARIES
leading thoroughfares short of a mile, will only be
charged a penny, and any distance under two miles two-
of the Dayanim (of 601. each per annum) has just been
pence, and so on for the whole length of the journey, i n

Our stock market has been very animated since this
morning, and a very eager desire to purchase has been
manifested, which has occasioned the prices of all our
railways to rise several florins per cent. even before the
commencement of Change. The cause of this un-
expected change is a notice published in the Vienna Ga-
zette of this day, that the State resolved to purchase
railway shares at suitable rates. The imperial resolution
is dated yesterday, and announces that his Majesty has
been pleased to order that an extraordinary loan office
shall be opened in the department for the payment of
the public debt, which is destined to purchase with the
funds allotted to it shares in certain national railroads at
prices corresponding with their actual value. This
measure has caused a better tone on 'Change, and appears
to give more room for speculation.
