From Buenos Ayres the adviccs are to the 29th

tine national bonds continued to improve, and was
then 57. At Rosario and in the province of Eatre
Rios much damage had been dons by 21)ods from
an unprecedented rise of the River Parana.

tional duty is to be levied for the next .financial
year on goods entered for consumption, with the
exception of some on which the adlition is to he
only 2 per cent., and also of free articles. The

The directors of the North British Railway C)111-
Pally have issued a statement to their shareholders
with regard to the Joint Purse Agreement with the
Ca!edonian Company. They charge the Caledonian
CcwaPany with not having fairly carried it out, and
with having combined with the North-Western
Company to injure the North British. Under the
circumstances, as the Caledonian Conan)* have
declared the agreement to be illegal, and " while
declining to be bound by its provisions have appro-
pri ited to themselves its principal benefits," the
directors of the North British advise their share-
holders do adhere to it no longer, but to take such
steps as counsel may advise to recover from the
Caledonian Company the " just proportion of the
joint traffic receipts falling to the North British
Company for the year to the 31st of January,
1869." Meanwhile, they will not enter into coin-
Petition by adopting unremunerative fares, but
Rill seek on equal terms to secure their proportion
of traffic.
