" In connexion with excursion trains and cheap tares)
it would have been desirable to analyse the proportion
between third-claw travellers and those of a superior
kind. In one case only, the South-Eastern, has such
comparison been practicable, and proportions (for
1851) stand thus:—First clasp, 593,166; second class,
1,190,847; and third class, 2,124 961; total, 3,908,974
passengers. The money received from all passengers
having been as above, 365,3381., the average per pas-
senger is only Is. 10Id., a result from which each reader
is free to deduce his own conclusions."

The hitters concerning monetary and mercantile
affairs on the other side of the Atlantic are more favour-
able than was anticipated. The large arrival of gold
from California and the lessened demand for specie to
export to Europe imparted greater ease. The failure
of Messrs. Souder, Simington, and Rubinson, of Broad-
street, New York, in the oil, cotton, and grain trade, is
denounced.
Respecting California we are informed from America
that "The accounts continue good. Nearly two mil-
lions of dollars, in gold dust, are on their way here, via
Panama. This will probably remain in the country, and
the banks soon show a great increase in their supply
of precious metals. The effect of this cannot be
otherwise than most favourable. The Prometheus, from
San Juan, brings twenty days later news from Cali-
fornia. From all parts of the mining section, the ac-
counts are encouraging, and as the attention of miners
has recently been turned almost entirely to machinery,
the probability is that the product will largely increase,
instead of diminish. The construction of machinery
for crushing the rock by water power, will enable miners
to work in sections, which have hitherto been neglected.
There i 3 no doubt but that our estimate of an average
shipment from San Francisco of five millions of dollars
per month, from the Ist of Sept., will be fully realized.
A few months would at this rate, nearly double
the amount of specie held by our banks; but as a large
amount of gold dust destined for England comes to this
port, we cannot calculate upon such a rapid increase in
our stock of bullion. There is, however, no doubt but
that within the next four or five months our receipts will
be many millions more than the exports. It is, there-
fore, our impression that from the Ist of November to
the Ist of May next we shall have better times than
after that. In that six months there may be an active
movement in the stock market, and prices considerably
higher than those which have ruled for sometime past
may be realised. Stocks have been so pressed down by
the scarcity and value of money that the slightest let
up will give a great impetus to speculation, and for a
time excitement would run high.
The reverses experienced in Kafraria, as communi-
cated in the advicea received to-day, are the general
topic of conversation here, but there is no fear of the
issue. The great evil is the expense to which the mother
country is put.
The revenue of Holland for the first nine months of
this year is stated at 41,281,905 florins, being an in-
crease, as compared with the like date of 1850, of
10,068,552 florins. Every principal branch has risen,
including customs and navigation, excise, stamps, and
postage. The Stock Market at Amsterdam on the 18th
instant was very firm, but not much was done in Dutch
Bonds. Spanish Five per Cents. were animated.
The numerous arrivals to-day have net in the least
affected the Stock Market. Consols being 97 to I for
Transfer, and the same for Account. The present quo-
tations are 97i The abundance of money and the
continued arrivals neutralise political news. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 971 to 98,
and the Three per Cents. 96f to Bank Stock has
been quoted 213, and India Stock 261, the former being
steady, but the latter depressed. Exchequer-bills have
been firm at 51 to 54, and India Bonds have realised 56

to 59 premium.
Foreign Securities have been rather heavy, but there
is no prominent change. Mexican Steck is worth 16i
to j-. Spanish Fivw per Cents. have been quoted 20i to
i, and the Three per Cents. about 38 to i . Portuguese
Four per Cants. have realised 32, Buenos Ayres 43, ft n d
Brazilian 86. Venezuela Stock has been quoted 31i.
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 53 to i, and the
Four per Cents. 89i to 90.
Railway shares opened fiat, but arc looking better
again now, and have been done at improved prices.
