grant has been a topic of conversation. Few politicians had
thought it would have been so large.
A good deal of interest is felt as to the result of the debate
in the House of Commons to-night on the subject of the
Oregon territory. We understand that the Caledonian
steamer is detained for the purpose of carrying out the
opinions of Ministers upon this subject, the debate upon it
being fixed for this evening. The steamer will be kept back
to receive letters posted to-night, as well as by the early mail
to Liverpool to• morrow morning.
Stocks are rather flatter this morning, notwithstanding
the Ministerial majority. Consols have been 99% 1-2 for pre-
sent transfer; and 99% 1/2 for Account. Exchequer-bills
have also receded a little, being 61s. to 595. premium. Bank
Stock for Account is 215%.
The Foreign Securities are dull. Spanish Five per Cents.
have been 29% 31, and the Passive 7% % : coming rather
better from Paris they have improved a trifle here also.
Mexican are quiet at 357/8 ; Colombian are 1574 to 16 ; and
Brazilian 88; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 63%
to 63%.
An extrasrdinary degree of activity continues to pervade
the market for Railway Shares, the Scotch and Irish lines
being especially buoyant, and the latter principally on the
statement that the Queen will visit the Emerald Isle this
su.nmer. The French lines are also buoyant.
