LONDON, SATUROAV, FEBRUARY 16, 1856.

The announcement yeeterday of a New Loan,
and the funding of Excllelger-bills, burst like a
thunder-storm on the Stock Exchange. A tem-
porary panic was at once occasioned. Many
capitalists were, of course, desirous of rendering
all their pecuniary resources available, in order
to be fully prepared to make the best use of the
golden opportunity. Others sought to depreciate
the quotations, so that the Chancellor of the
Exchequer might be induced to offer more favour-
able terms to the contractors—while the ()Teat
majority were influenced by the timidity which is
the well-known characteristic of the Men
eyocracy.
The terms of the contemplated. Loan were stu-
diously concealed, and therefore, as a matter of
course, every person regarded the matter in the
most unfavourable point of view, and carefully
buttoned his
pockets. The " Ursins" fra-
ternity, who have lately had some severe
their " mind's eye," an
hits, beheld, ill
auspicious prospect of retrieving their recent
losses, while more patriotic speculators thought
it prudent to wait for further information,
before they should commit themselves in any
manner. The resuli, was therefore a fall of nearly
2 per cent. on the quokstiong of the preceding
day, from 92 to 90 to s; and, of course, a gonexal
stagnation and depreciation of every description
of security, public or private.
The mystery respecting the amount required
under both heads, and the nature and conditions
of the terms to be offered, of course operated in-
jurionslY for the public interests. Guesses re-
