The Foreign Market is rather heavy. Italian

lower, at 991 ; Great Northern (A) I, at 1081 to
109 ; and a decline of is marked in Great Wes-
terg at 49 to 491.

pore, £30,000 for Penang, £63,000 for Calcutta,

To do away with any temptations for unscrupu-
lous persons to attempt bribery to get inferior goods
passed in case of disputes or differences of opinion
with the receiving officers as to quality, the an-
nexed memorandum has been issued :—" Complaints
having been preferred by contractors and others
of their articles being rejected on insufficient
grounds it is to be understood that in any case in
future where parties may consider themselves in-
Jared by rejections, their Lordships will be pre-
pared to consider the question with a view to au in-
dependent re-inspection of the articles on applica-
tion being made in writing to the Financial Secre-
tary of the Admiralty.—By command of their
Lordships, " W. E. BAXTER."
The East Indian Railway Company have noti-
fied that they have received authority from the
,
Secretary of State to issue 50,000 shares of £2O
each bearing
interest at the rate of £5 per cent.
Per annum, at a premium of £1 per share. A de-
posit of 5..5 per share, with the premium of per
share, must be paid on or before the 11th of Ally
next, and further calls of £5 per share will be made
at intervals of about three month; from that date.
-the allotment will be made rateably among the
shareholders.

Letters from the Republic of Ecuador state that
on the 19th of March a General Veintermilla at-
tempted to make a revolution in Guayaquil against
Don Garcia Moreno and in favour of the former
Government. He had the artillery on his side, and
it is thought might have succeeded in taking the
town if he had not been shot after fighting for more
than four hours. Nearly 100 are reported to have
been killed, and 50 or GO wounded. Mary of the
citizens also were wounded or killed by the dis-
charge of grape shot in the streets. Business was
at a stand.

A great, and to the mercantile community most
welcome, change appears to have been inaugurated
at the Admiralty in their mode of transacting com-
mercial business. Hitherto the purchases for the
navy carried on under the contract system with an
interminable number of stipulations and penalties
to prevent fraud have resulted in the Government
being exposed to an organised course of chicanery
♦vhich has operated most disastrously for the public
Service.

It is stated that the works of the Tanaboff-Kos-
ioff Railway are progresieing rapidly, and that the
line will be opened in September next. It forius
a continuation of the Riazau-Kozlow Railway, the

roubles, and increased in 1868 to 3,084,553
roubles.

cole et Industiielle d'Egypte, Mr. A. S. King,
the chairman, reported the progress made by the
c of
committee silica the last meeting in prosecuting the
claims
the shareholders upon the Viceroy of
Egypt. It was stated that the Foreign Office
had adopted the case, and had telegraphed in-
!tractions to the Consul-General in Egypt to
Insist upon an immediate settlement on the same
erms as those just obtained by the French Foreign
Office.

and prices generally are steady.

Shares are very quiet.
