LIVERPOOL, APRIL 27.
NEW STOCK EXCHANGE.—The plan just promulgated by the Go-
vernment to obviate the imperfect state of the law on inceptive rail-
way undertakings appears to meet with approbation. The legality
of dealing in scrip having been established by a recent decision, it
became impossible to avoid the recognition of scripholders, and the
scheme accordingly provides, that they may either carry out the
work projected or bring the matter to a close. And, as many per-
sons desire to recover what may yet remain of the deposits unex-
pended, the measure may be regarded as the death-knell of seven-
eighths of the projects which have made some progress before Par-
liament, and of the large number that halted by the way. The im-
provement mentioned in the review of the 23d instant has been fully
maintained, as will be perceived from the increased business at
enhanced prices. The Share Market is buoyant, and terminates with
promise of advance. The sales are—Birkenhead, Lancashire, and
