The following telegram has been received from
the Secretary of the Varna Railway Company :
" Line accepted by Government, opened to-day to
the public. Dated 7th November, 1866."
The suspension of Messrs. James Russell and
Sons, of Wednesbury, has been announced. One
of the partners it is stated is a considerable share-
holder and director of the New Zealand Bank,
which has sustained considerable losses, and the
suspension is with a view to protect the general
body of the creditors. The liabilities are said to
amount to £40,000, and the assets to nearly
UO,OOO, and there is every reason to believe that
all the creditors will be paid in full.
Sergeant Moss, of the City detective police, yes-
terday evening apprehended on a warrant James

Stock Discount Company, charged with embezzle-
runt of two sums of £4,000 and £B6O.

from the list of contributors to Barned's Banking
Company certain persons who complained of frau-
dulent representations.
The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets dur-
ing the last few days have not shown much anima-
tien• The public sales of tea have proceeded rather
slowly
and prices in some instances are a shade
lower. Sugax has been in moderate request, at
tsteady rates. Large quotations of coffee have been
°relight forward, and inferior descriptions have been
sold at slightly reduced prices. In tallow the
hdealingsave been moderately active, and quota-
I vons have remained steady.
A. list arranged in tabular form of all the London
and provincial newspapers, inclusive of Great
Britain, Ireland, and the British Isles, has just been
Issued by Messrs. Vickers and Harrington, of
C°wPer's-court, Cornhill. Therein appear the me-
wepolitan journals classified in alphabetical order,
:111c/wing dates of publication, their political views
denoted by initial letter, with year of establishment
and price. Under the heading of the several coun-
ties (also alphabetically arranged) are the names of
various papers published in each, their political
,e,lldencies, year of creation, day of publication, and
Price. The population of each county according
‘0 the latest returns is affixed.
It appears that the case on behalf of the Defence
Association, in re 0 verend, Gurney, and Co., who
are endeavouring to remove the names of certain
shareholders from the list of contributories, has been
,again Postponed to-day, and it is not likely to be

The traffic receipts on the East Indian Railway
for the week ending the 16th September amounted
t 0
£37,419 11s. 4d. ; and in the corresponding
Period of the previous year they were £28,346
us. 7d., showing an increase of £9,073 ss. 9d.
A meeting of shareholders in the London and
.1.
ttediterranean Bank was convened to-day ; only
or three proprietors attended, and the affair
Weil a complete fiasco. The object was to appoint
an Official liquidator. But the matter is before the
,
luster of the Rolls, and no doubt accountants and
liquidators will, according to present fashion, derive
the principal benefit of a defunct concern.

Two O'CLOCK.
According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to-day
the French Rentes were 69f.
Lord Mayor's day seems to have added to the
dulness that has recently prevailed in the Stock Ex-
change; the absence of commissions, and the limited
attendance of speculative dealers and of investors,
having afforded a considerable number of clerks, as
Well as principals, the opportunity of seeing a
genuine London crowd. Nevertheless, a good and
steady business has been transacted in the
British Funds, because the public, after the
severe losses sustained during the late crisis, look-
ing to Government securities instead of limited lia-
bility schemes, especially as confidence is reposed in
the present Ministry, both as regards foreign poli-
tics and finance at home. While almost every other
security has manifested weakness, Consols have
risen per cent., namely, to 894 f for transfer,
and (ex dividend) to 881 I for the 6th proximo.

nuities each remain firm at 871 ; and a dealing has

cent. Enfaced paper at loot 4 1, and in the Bonds,
at 20 prem.
Only a small amount of business has been trans-
.bacted in foreign Government bonds, but Turkish
'lye; Spanish Passives, Spanish Certificates, and
Italian are in request and at higher prices. Mexican
stock is steady, at 16+ ; Greek Bonds at 131 141 ;
Turkish
5 per Cents, are at 31* ; Spanish Passive
It at 214 ; the Certificates at 134 14 ; and the
alian Loan of 1861 at 544 55.

'larket, and a fair amount of business has been
