Besides these consignments, 410,0001. is coming
forward from the Brazils, and 17,0001. by the
Pera, from China. The West India steamer, viz.,
the Magdalena, is also expected to bring a moderate
supply. It is by this vessel that some remit.ance
is likely to arrive for the Buenos Ayrean Bond-
holders, not the Medway, as inadvertently stated
yesterday.

biten compelled to call their creditors together.
Their liabilities ai e about 24,000/., and it is feared
that the estate will not yield more than 3s. in the
pound.

Owing to a rather more active enquiry for dis-
count accommodation, the terms are now within a
fraction of 3 per cent.—the Bank minimum—but
in consequence of the large supplies of avai:•able
capital ample facilities aro afforded the commercial
community to obtain all they may require for the
legitimate purposes of trade. Business in the
manufacturing districts, and also in some branches
in the metropolis is increasing, which, of course, has
influenced to a slight degree the enquiry for dis-
count both in Lombard-street and at the Bank of
England. It seems to be the general impression
that the official quotation will remain at 3 per cent.
for some time, but the expectation is no longer
entertained of a, further reduction.

The market for the Funds has continued very
firm, and a moderate amount of business has been
transacted, notwithstanding the progress of the
settlement in foreign stocks and railway shares,
'which always diverts attention. Some influence
has been created by the arrivals of specie and the
general abundance of money. Political affairs also
appear more satisfactory, and some speculative
Purchases hare been made in consequence. Con-
sols have been 96i for money, and 96i for the
account but they are now 96/ I and 96i, sellers,
respectively. The New 3 per Cents. are 95 ;
the Reduced, 95i ; India Debentures Scrip 99a ;
Exchequer Bills, 365. to 395. premium, and India
ponds, 18s. to 21s. premium. Bank Stock is 220
to 2211,,aud India ditto 223.
Very few transactions have been recorded in the
_Foreign Stock Market, but prices are rather firmer.
Turkish 61per Cents, are 97i to 98, and the 4 per
fin. nominal. Spanish 3 per Cents. are 431 ;
do. Deferred, 26i ; Russian 4i per Cents., 1001;

The transactions reported to-day in.the Railway
allare Market have b3en extremely limited, and
"ing to the very unfavourable traffic returns of
344, nY of the leading lines-more particularly the
leondon and North Western-prices in almost all
instances have declined i to 1 per cent. Great
Western,
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln,
receded ss. ; Caledonians, LAncashira and York-
shire, South Westerns, and North E astern (Ber-
Wii ck), 10s. ; Norfolk, 153. ; and North Western,
Great Northerns improved about 58. The
Foreign and Colonial lines have been exceedingly
quiet. Great Luxembourg and Pe:nambuco were
4 shade lower. East Indian declined 10s., and
Cheat Western of Canach 10s.
Mines, Banks, and Miscellaneous Shares have
begin in very moderate request, and exhibit little
variation in quotations. Australian Agricultural
shares have declined about 10s., and Van Diemen's
