Colonial Government Securities are steady.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are mostly un-
changed. American Securities are rather stronger:

The sum of £4,000 in gold was taken to the
Bank yesterday, making a total of £429,000 during
the week since the date of the last return.

The City of Brussels, from Buenos Ayres, has
brought
£ll,OOO.
Although the introduction of new foreign loans
appears for the present to have been checked, it
nlaY be as well not to overlook the prospect that a
steady supply of stock, representing in great part
new creations, will come forward as prices rise.
Combinations of bankers on the Continent take
loanl3
--asjor instance Russian—at prices consider-
ably below those current here ; and then, as oppor-
tunity offers, they feed the English market. It may
thus be fairly inferred that any return of buoyancy
in the foreign stock market would exercise a pre-
judicial effect upon the bullion movement, and tend
to turn the exchanges, which at present are in
favour of this country.
It is understood that with the view of putting an
end to the long-continued gambling operations in
Metropolitan Railway stock the directors of that
company last week resolved to request the auditors
to call in any professional accountant of high stand-
ing whom they might think fit to select to enter
into a thorough examination of the accounts, and
to report before the next half-yearly meeting. It is
also stated that the Board have resolved, with re-
gard to the declaration of a dividend, to get the pre-
vious concurrence of Sir Roundel' Palmer as to the
amount that should be fixed, so as to remove as far
as possible all grounds for cavil.
It appears that Chief Justice Chase has ruled
that the United States' Government cannot collect
Income-tax from foreigners who hold its bonds, and
that the sums already collected must be refunded.
It is stated that the foreign houses in Paris,'Frank-
fort, Berlin, and Vienna are very c treful in the
Paper they select for negotiation. They will take
in bills at low rates, even at 4 and 4k per cep'. ;
but the character must be very high class. The
acceptances of several of the first firms will move
off at a quarter per cent. below others, because
through the repeated investigations at the Mansion
House and elsewhere, confidence is destroyed,
and the question of credit is more than ever
canvassed. First-rate bankers' bills— Rothschild's,
t
4ring's, and others—are readily taken, but some
of the :second and third-rate descriptions are fre-
quently rejected iu consequence of the prevailing
distrust.
Au extraordinary general meeting of the Bahia
the
Navigation Company (Limited) is called for
7th of June, to confirm the resolutions passed

The annual meeting of the African Steam Ship
‘'°tapany is fixed for the 9th of June.

;0)000 in the business as compared with the

Pany is fixed for the 21th of June, when a dividend

CAUTION TO CAB PROPRIETORS. - George Buttinson,
cab proprietor, of Chichester-place, Barrow-road, appeared
to answer the complaint of the Royal Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals, of torturing a horse by
working it in an unfit state. .

The evidence of Sinclair, an officer of the Royal Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and Sergeant
Hurn, 4 C, showed that the defendant had sent out a
horse to work with broken knees from which the blood
was running, and having several sores about it and quite
unfit for work.
The defendant was fined 40s. and costs.
