sof the objects to be more particularly examined in
its course ; the rapidity of his movements ; and his
careful economy of time—we cannot forbear from
remarking that the Prince of PRUSSIA worthily
emulates the example of the numerous Royal and Im-
perial visitors who have lately, from so many parts of
Europe, paid their respects to her Majesty the
QUEEN, and been introduced to some of the most
notable portions of her MAJESTY'S dominions. Let
us censure as we will the too frequent apathy of
Sovereigns, and the profound ignorance in which,
till the close of the last century, the scions of Royal
Houses were too generally brought up—it must be
allowed, to the credit of most of the Illustrious
Princes and Royal personages who have lately re-
paired to this country in such numbers, for the grati-
fication of a laudable, and perhaps we might add, a
respectful curiosity, that, whilst their intellectual abili-
ties and attainments have been at least equal to the
average of those possessed by the individuals com-
posing the distinguished circles which have received
them here, their physical energies, endurance of
fatigue, and bodily activity, appear to have been
greatly superior to those of their most Illustrious
hosts.

But we advert to the Prince of PRUSSIA'S visit to
Liverpool for the purpose of congratulating his Royal
Highness that he has thus been enabled to compre-
hend, at his leisure, one of the broadest and most en-
during bases on which is raised the stupendous struc-
ture of English greatness. To have recalled to the
Prince's memory the military prowess and renown of
England.would have been a work of supererogation in-
deed. The triumphs of Prussia and England in al-
liance could not be forgotten by the immediate de-
scendant of FREDERICK WILLIAM—of the Sovereign
of BLUCHER and the friend of WELLINGTON—were
there no more recent voices to proclaim it in thunder
from the mountainous recesses of Central Asia, or
the shores of Syria or of China—prolonging the echoes
of its mighty victories on the plains of Hindostan, or
its yet more signal successes in the heart of France,
on the fertile soil of Belgium, in the wide territories
of Spain, amidst the fastnesses of Portugal, or the
plains of Italy. To have detained the Prince by the
preparation and parade of military reviews would
have been to regale him with anything but novelty ;
and the precision of tactics achieved by the soldiery
of his own country, had left little to be surpassed,
perhaps equalled, among that of our own. To the
presumptive heir, however, of a Continental Monarchy,
essentially and inevitably a military State, in the
strictest sense of the term, such an exhibition as he
has witnessed at Liverpool of the resources of peace,
accumulated in a single outport of that kingdom
which has established itself in the foremost rank of
nations as pre-eminent in naval and military strength
and success, must have been a noble and an instruc-
tive spectacle. From that boundless commerce
which visits every habitable region of the globe, and
in its dealings with all the families of the human race
that are adjacent to any ocean shore, at once supplies
the wants, and civilises the manners, and ameliorates
the existence of the most miserable denizens of unre-
claimed barbarism, England derives the opulence
that has enriched without corrupting her, and main-
tains the spirit of that never-ceasing energy, and re-
news the energies of that never-relaxing industry,
which render innoxieus and immeasurably beneficial
to her the wealth, the luxury, the grandeur, which
to natives of more voluptuous or less healthful tem-
peraments have been speedily and signally destruc-
tive. This physical activity reacts upon the moral
character of her social system and its institutions.
These do not stagnate, or retrograde, as in less for-
tunate countries, but are impressed with the same
tendencies to a salutary and sustained onward move-
ment—not to wild and destructive impulses, the
course of which no man can calculate. Capital, and
the proneness to accumulate it, have done much of
their evil work among us, as they have done among
other nations ; but they have also produced more
good, more happiness, more stability for institutions
and laws, than they can be shown to have accom-
plished in any other case recorded in history.
The same causes, that in their operation have
raised us to our present greatness, in their per-
manency will advance us yet further and further on
the march of national prosperity. The same effects
which, so wonderfully developed in our fortunes and
position, are at this moment inciting so large a mass
of the French people to the most extravagant and
pitiable indications of jealousy and envy and resent-
ment, will continue to accumulate, in peace, our re-
sources for the demands of war, Be that disastrous
casualty (we pray) far distant ; but come when it
may, those foolish and incendiary spirits who find it so
easy a task to sound the tocsin in Paris for a general
outbreak into hostilities with Britain, will find that
they have invoked a slumbering giant, who may not
be disposed, on the occasion of a wanton and reckless
experiment on his repose and his dignity, to repeat
the ill-remembered, and worse requited, forbearance
and generosity which he manifested for a beaten,
though valiant foe, when twice within one twelve-
month the event of war had placed the capital and the
national independence of that foe at his mercy. But
it is lost time, we fear, to reason with that unprincipled
and extensive party which is doing its utmost to pre-
cipitate France into acts of insult and aggression
which can only terminate in her own chastisement.
It is not a fidgetty young Admiral's bootless bombard-
ment of the ruined walls of one African fortress, or
his still more questionable "destruction" of another,
accomplished, we have reason to believe, in a manner
not the least " lubberly" (as the sailors would say),
on the records of naval expeditions—which is to
justify us in assuming that a whole nation, at his
back, can be so weak, or so absurd, or so flagitious,
as to daily with his passion for anti-Anglo notoriety,
by involving the peace of Europe in a war between
France and England. But we really see so much
childish excitability on these matters about some of
the French journals, professedly of very extensive
circulation and influence, that we may not reason on
the improbability—still less the impossibility—of a
rupture, because of either its wanton recklessness
or its infinite folly. In this feeling we would
beg to direct the attention of our own Go-
vernment, and their official authorities, to the
,trong representations which some of our letters from
the outports make as to the utterly defenceless con-
dition in which Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Sheer-
ness will be left, if, on the withdrawal of the present
guard-ships, whether by putting them in active com-
mission or otherwise, they be not immediately re-
placed by powerful line-of-battle ships. There is a
crisis at which every dictate of common prudence and
sound policy suggests that the most ample and effi-
cient provision for the protection of our shores, espe-
cially at these points, against any hostile surprise,
should be made. Men of all parties will vindicate and
confirm any indispensable expense such provision may
entail. Good faith, as a natural security, in dealing
with some of the spirits arrayed against British great-
ness, is less to be depended on than ropes of sand or
roofs of brown paper. Besides, though the mischief
which may be committed, may be very little in amount,
there is no reason why we should not be spared the
expense, through merely assuming that attitude of
preparation we ought never to abandon till something
more of fair dealing, of common honesty, and of
' —not wordy and conventional—honour, shall
,way the councils of France and its public mind, if
,hat is to be collected from its journals. Let us be
thus prepared, and we may safely predict no such at-
tempts will be made by our blustering neighbours,
ven if the whole French press teemed with such in-
conceivable rhodomontade and schoolboy little com-
mon-places, to foreshadow the downfal of England
—derived from a course of precedents gravely
commenced with " SOLOMON and SESOSTRIS," and
continued to "Louts XIV. and NAPOLEON," such
as we have just been laughing over in the columns of
the Gazette de France. The article would read like
a squib from our facetious friend Punch, if it had
only the ingredients of a good purpose, and a clever,
spirited execution. In a word, the Parisians, at any
rate, are fairly earning the application of TALLEY..
SAND'S caustic reflection of their own infatuated
BounnoNs—" They have learned nothing, and they
have forgotten nothing." For her own welfare and
honour, and her rank among the nations, France must
b
oth forget her past reverses (they were of her own
seeking), and leatrhnto).avoid them in future (she is

All the Spanish vessels of war, except one, had, in
consequence of this arrangement, left Ceuta for

The Three per Cents. were done at 27i at 60

The Paris papers, and especially those of the Op-
position, are loud in their praises of the bravery and
skill displayed by the Prince DR JOINVILLE at Moga-
dore. The affair has caused quite a sensation through-
out France, and even Republican and Legitimatist
journals begin to regard the Orleans dynasty in a
more favourable light. There is no accounting for
tastes, but really we cannot see what great cause
there is for rejoicing. The Moors had no more
chance against the French than the Chinese against
the English. These primitive people are unable to
contend against the skill and discipline of European
warfare, and victories obtained over such contemptible
opponents cannot furnish any test of military genius
or real bravery. They are to be regarded with satis-
faction only as far as they contribute to peace, and
the civilisation of barbarians. That was the light in
which we viewed our successes in China, though
England was contending with an empire containing
a population of three hundred millions. France
has attacked successfully a little empire containing
a population of a few millions, yet the writers in
the journals make as much noise about the affair as if
the best troops of Europe had been conquered by a
handful of Frenchmen. One of the Ministerial
journals, it is true, is silent on the subject, but the
other, the Globe, breaks forth in these strains :
" There cannot be a heart unmoved at the multiplied
recitals of the feats of arms of our soldiers and seamen.
Three victories in nine days! On the 6th, Tangiers
bombarded ; the 14th, 20,000 Moors beaten ; and on
the 15th, Mogadore ruined and taken Such are the
humiliations of France during the month of August.
Let no one imdgine, however, that this will change a
word in the language of the Opposition journals
Their business is to have it believed that the Govern

SECOND EDITION.

,norai

ment is sacrificing the dignity of the country, and
they will say so unceasingly. What do parties care
about falsehood ? Dolus an virtus, quis in poste re-
quirat Such is their morality. These journals,
too, are truly unfortunate in their predictions. They
declared that England had forbidden our fleet to
meddle with Tangiers, and it was there that it com-

menced its operations. They said that England had
interdicted the landing of a single man at Mogadore,
and, lo! it is occupied ! As to the English press, it
will allow, we hope, that our gunners have improved
from the 6th to the 15th ; that, for ignoramuses, our
pointers do not aim too ill ; and that, for cowards, our
officers come close enough to the enemy."
The Constitutionnel expresses equal satisfaction, and
rejoices that the imputations cast on the naval tactics
of th

It is no very encouraging sign of the times when
the memory of those who have
suffered in the cause
of freedom fails to excite a lively feeling of respect
and gratitude in the mind of the community at large.--
The Scottish Reform martyrs—for it is to their case

Le young Prince and his officers have received
such a speedy and triumphant refutation. " This
new feat of arms," says M. TRIERS'S journal, " ac-
complished by the Panics and our seamen, will im-

pose silence, we hope, on the shameless correspon-
dents of the Times—on those malignets, full of envy

and ignorance, whose gross invectives are disavowed
by all honourable men. It is not probable that the
bombardment of Mogadore will cause any satisfaction
in England; but it will at least command, with re-
spect to our navy, that courtesy on which well-bred
men of all countries pride themselves in similar cir-
cumstances. France will rejoice that at both extre
mities of Morocco our brave men have entered on a
struggle of honour and courage. Whilst Marshal
BUGEAUD, with 8,000 brave followers, put 24,000
cavalry to the route, the Prince DE JOINVILLE was
placing his foot on the soil of Africa, and battering
down the old city of the pirates."
" The bombardment of Mogadore," says the
National, " was the necessary consequence of that of
Tangiers, and the means of obtaining satisfaction
could only be rendered efficacious by taking posses.
sion of one or several points of the coast. We con-
gratulate the French authorities, whoever they may
be, to whom the initiative of this resolution belonged,
and we wait tranquilly fur the opinion of the English
journals on this new feat of arms, which has added
honour to our navy. There is, however, something
in the dispatch that requires explanation. The Ad-
miral says that he has taken possession of the port,
but he states afterwards that he has placed the port
in a state of blockade. This appears to us to be a
contradiction, for we do not understand why a port is
to be blockaded when we are in possession of it."
We give the following extract from the same jour-
nal, to inform our readers of the vast preparations
made by England for a war with France
We know not whether a war between France and
England will or will not arise out of the present difficul-
ties between the two countries, but we cannot but think
that it is high time to prepare for it. England is making
the most active preparations, and the farce played off by
the Whig orators in the House of Commons about the
enfeebled state of the British navy must not be allowed
to lull us into an insecure supineness. It is certain that
England is actively arming and putting herself in a posi-
tion both to attack vigorously and to protect her foreign
possessions. The fleet of Admiral Owen in the Mediter-
ranean is daily augmenting, and has now equalled in
strength the squadron under the Prince de Joinville ;
and, since the latter has received reinforcements, the
English Admiral has applied to his Government, and
two sail of the line have been ordered out. Besides
this, we see from the accounts in the English papers that
the most active preparations are making in all the
English dockyards in bringing forward ships, and in a
very few days several vessels of large size will be ready
for commission.
" For the last two months the Collingwood has been
lying at anchor at Spithead, under orders for the Pacific,
but Admiral Seymour still waits for orders, and it is more
than probable that her destination will be changed, and
that she will be sent to the Mediterranean. In addition
to all these preparations for attack, the most diligent
attention is being paid to those of defence. A com-
mittee has been appointed to inspect and report on the
state of the defences of the coast, and orders hare also
been dispatched to the colonies to urge on the authorities
there the necessity of improving the state of their de-
fences, and in using every endeavour to prepare them-
selves for any event which may arise. The militia at
Jamaica are also ordered to be called out, and go through
a regular drilling, as w as done in time of war.
" At Malta, which is considered impregnable, the
Governor has issued orders with regard to the fortifica-
tions of the island.
" According; to a morning paper, the Government has
also come to an arrangement with Captain Warner for
providing him with the means of testing his terrible dis-
covery.
" When all these facts are brought together, we think
we may, without rashness, conclude that the disposition
of the English Government is anything but pacific.
From 1830 to 1840, no instance of like activity was ever
witnessed with our neighbours, and at the very time
when England was at war in India, in China, and when
the Eastern question was in agitation, preparations to
such an extent were never made. England, it is there-
fore clear, anticipates war, and, if she anticipates it, it is
clear she wishes for it ; and it will break out unless
France is prepared to empty to its very dregs the cup of
bitterness held out to her by her neighbour."
A letter from Oran of the 17th gives the following
details of the battle of Isly :
"On the 14th Marshal Bugeaud, having no longer
any hope of bringing the negotiations with Morocco to
a friendly termination, and seeing the army, under the
orders of the son of the Emperor, was augmenting
daily, resolved to attack the Morocco camp, which had
besides, on the 11th, sent some hundred sharpshooters
to fire upon our outposts. As soon as his movement
commenced the Morocco army deployed, and in a short
time our, little army was surrounded by more than
25,000 cavalry. The action commenced in pretty good
order, and the artillery of the two camps opened the
combat. The artillery of the Moors, which was much
more numerous than ours, was pretty well pointed. The
affair being undecided, the Marshal ordered a general
charge of cavalry, and in a few minutes our horsemen
arrived close to the guns of the enemy, which are said
to have been more than forty in number. Eleven re-
mained in our hands. The infantry came up in double
quick time, and the victory declared itself on our side.
The Moors were completely routed, and only sought
safety in flight. The French had about 200 put hors
de combat. Amongst the killed and wounded were seve-
ral officers. It was in the evening of the 10th that Mar-
shal Bugeaud was informed of the bombardment of
Tangiers. We learn from the frontier that the people
of Morocco, encamped not far from the army, have
abandoned their territory, leaving the ground covered
with rich crops."

we are alluding—were men who, in days when
Government was but another term for despotism, and
prerogative was pushed beyond the limits of
the Constitution, made a bold, unhesitating stand
against the encroachments of authority and
freely sacrificed their all in the patriotic, but
unsuccessful endeavour to maintain the rights of
the people unimpaired. Though beset by
spies, and encompassed on all sides by dangers of the
most alarming kind, their high moral courage never
once deserted them ; and though they failed in their
attempts to rouse public spirit to such a degree as
might enable it to shake off the PITT and DUNDAS
yoke, which then pressed so heavily on the best ener-
gies of the country, yet the example they set of pa-
triotic resistance to arbitrary power was not barren
of good results, for it served in some degree to keep
alive the flame of liberty which otherwise might
have been wholly extinguished, and paved the
way for that measure of Reform which was wrung
from a reluctant aristocracy in the memorable
year 1832. The memory of such men, there-
fore, should be held in profound reverence
by their posterity, and it is, we repeat, no very aus-
picious sign of the times when a proposal to erect a
public monument in their honour is received with
comparative indifference. Such, unfortunately, ap-
pears to be the case at present as regards the Scottish
Reform martyrs ; for though Mr. HUMS and those
who think with him have been laudably zealous in
their endeavours to awaken a proper feeling of grati-
tude in the public mind, yet we fear we must confess
that they have hitherto failed of success, and admit
with the Morning Post, that " the position in which
the Martyrs' Committee find themselves placed
is due mainly to the deficient sympathy of the people
in their cause." Our Tory Contemporary, of course,
chuckles hugely over this fact, but for our own part
we regard it with no ordinary degree of apprehenssion.
When public spirit is boldly and actively on the alert,
there need be no great cause to dread the encroach-
ments of authority; it is only when it is tame
and apathetic that results may be anticipated unfa-
vourable to constitutional liberty. 'We do not say that
the PEEL Ministry entertain the slightest notion of in-
vading the acknowledged rights of the people, but were
they inclined to do so, we fear that the temper ofthe times
is such that they would meet with but a languid re-
sistance. For months past scarcely any stir or energy
has been exhibited, whether within or without the
walls of Parliament. The conflict of principles seems
to be at an end, and the public mind has become as
stagnant as the waters of a Dutch canal. The
consequence has been, that during the session
Ministers have carried everything their own
way ; and judging from the cold, sluggish
feeling manifested by the people for the last six
months, we do verily believe that if Sir R. PEEL,
was to come forward next year with a proposition for
increasing the pressure of the income-tax, a few
faint growls of dissatisfaction would be the utmost

amount of hostility that would be brought to bear
against him. If this political apathy on the part
of the public were the result of a general and fast
increasing state of prosperity, there would not
be so much cause to deprecate it; but it is the
result, rather, of distrust—of doubt--we might
almost add—of despondency. Dissatisfied with the
present condition of things, and bewildered with the
extraordinary confusion, incertitude, and inconsist-
ency prevailing among parties, the people know not
how to act, on whom to rely, or in what direction to
make a decided move. They see Tories professing
Whig principles, and Whigs every now and then ex-
hibiting a sneaking predilection for Toryism ; they
see Radicals tame and acquiescent, and Chartists
quitting one by one the field of political
controversy ;—and seeing these strange things,
they are naturally filled 'with distrust of all
public men, a feeling to which must be attri-
buted their present state of lethargy, and calm
and half contemptuous indifference. But it is not in
the nature of things that this drowsiness should be of
much longer continuance. A reaction must inevitably
take place ere many months have elapsed, and when
it does, 'Sir R. PEEL and his obsequious supporters
will find that the time is come when they must
abandon the system of expediency, and advocate
something like a principle, if they would hope to
maintain their station at the helm.

Accounts from Madrid of the 21st inst. announce
that the Emperor of Mozocco had yielded to all the
demands of Spain, and that peace had been established
between the two countries. Spain is to receive a
compensation for the wrongs of which she complains,
all the expenses are to be paid, and also an extension
of territory on the side of Ceuta. The following
letter announcing the fact appears in a Madrid jour-
nal. It is addressed by the Spanish Consul at Tetuan
to the Governor of Ceuta :
" Consular Agency of Spain at Tetuan.
"I have the honour to inform your Excellency that
the Pacha Sidi Ashash has had a conference with the
agents and Vice-Consuls residing in this town, at which
he communicated to them a letter from his Imperial Ma-
jesty of a very recent date, in which he congratulates
himself in the most expressive terms on the perfect and
sincere reconciliation that has taken place between Mo-
rocco and all other nations, except France. His Im-
perial Majesty expressly recommends to all the Go-
vernors and public functionaries to give every assistance
and protection to the agents and subjects of those nations.
The Pacha has invited me to communicate to you those
tidings without delay, and to inform the captains of the
feluccas of Ceuta that they may come to Tetuan in all
safety. " ABNO itAPAN.

The French Funds again fell on Tuesday about

MORTALITY IN THE MIITROPOLIS.—The number
of deaths during the last week was not above the
average, though the deaths caused by certain diseases
still exceed those of the last five years. The increase
is chiefly in small-pox, scarlatina, and typhus. In the
list of deaths from consumption there is a consider-
able decrease, the average being 146, while last week
it was only 116. The number of deaths by small-pox
is stated to be 47, being 36 above the average, but we
have no return of the numbers that were vaccinated,
and the mortality table for the last week, and also the
preceding week, is very defective in reference to the
most terrible disease that ever afflicted the human
race. The deaths from violence are thus stated :
Fracture or contusion, 8 cases, of which 6 were by
falls ; drowning, 5 cases ; poison, 1 case ; hanging, 3
cases ; suffocation, 2 cases ;
,and burns, 1 case. Total,
15 males, and 6 females. The state of the barometer
and thermometer require no notice, as we have given
the daily observations in The Sun. According to the
observations made at Greenwich, not a drop of rain
had fallen during the last week.

A YOUTH SHOT AT BATTERSEA-FIELDS.---On
Saturday last, as a youth, named Daniel Evans, in the
employ of Mr. Wetness, a distiller, was driving a horse
and cart in the road near Battersea-fields, he suddenly
received in his left cheek and jaw the contents (shot) of
a fowling-piece, discharged by a man who stood in the
adjacent field, about twenty yards off. The youth was
conveyed to Westminster Hospital, where Mr. Bowman,
the house surgeon, succeeded in extracting the shot, and
he is going on as favourably as can be expected. The
lad states that he believes the individual to have aimed
at a stray pigeon which had escaped from the pigeon-
shooting arena belonging to the Bed House Tavern ;
and as soon as he perceived the mischief he had done,
he effected his escape through the arches of the South-
ampton railway, which he was only a few yards from.
A description of him has been forwarded to the police.
DETEEMINED SUICIDE OF A FEDlALE.—Yesterday
Wakley, m.p., held an inquest at the Yorkshire
Grey, Cheyne-walk, Chelsea, on the body of Louisa
Stonor, aged 22, an unmarried woman. From the evi-
dence of the witnesses examined, it appeared that on
Sunday night last deceased was standing with her ille-
gitimate child in her arms, near the river side, and was
talking cheerfully with several of her acquaintances,
amongst them being the reputed father of the child.
She parted with them at twelve o'clock, bade them geod
night, and said she was going home, but in a few minutes
she asked a boy to hold her baby, whilst she went on.
The boy did as he was requested, and while holding the
child he heard her-raise a loud laugh, and then saw her
rush to the extremity of the pier, and plunge into the
water. A man in the barge saw her sink, and with
assistance endeavoured to save her. Owing, however, to
the darkness of the night, she was not seen to rise, and
her body was not found until the next morning. None
of the witnesses could give any reason for the deceased's
suicide, as she was always of a cheerful disposition, did
not suffer want, and had never shown signs of insanity.
The Coroner, in summing up, asked the jury whether
they could say, from the evidence they had heard, that
the deceased had destroyed herself whilst in a state of
insanity. The jury were of opinion that the evidence
was not satisfactory upon that point, and returned a ver-
dict that the deceased destroyed herself, but in what
state of mind there was no evidence to show.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was more business doing yesterday in the Liver-
pool Cotton market, and full prices were realised. Sales

prising 300 Surat, and 1,200 American. The total sale:

Maranham, at 4id to skd; 200 Pernam, at 6d to 5-g; 600

A decision, given by the Commissioner of the Bir-
mingham District Court of Bankruptcy recently,
demands peculiar attention, as it is the first time, we
believe, that the law has been so settled upon the point
raised. An insolvent, named Wood, having filed his
petition, it was dismissed by the Learned Commissioner,
on these grounds :—Firstly, that the insolvent had
not resided for twelve months immediately preceding the
filing of his petition ; and, secondly, that his domicile
was not situated in the district of the Court ; for though
he had himself been residing in England some time, his
wife and family were now in France, and he had come
over expressly to take the benefit of the Act. This
was held to be contrary to the intention of the
Legislature, and therefore the petition was dis-
missed. If this principle is held to be generally good, a
great number of individuals who have been compelled
to live abroad, will be debarred the privileges which the
recent changes in the law hold out to insolvents.
We are entirely without arrivals from the colones
to-day of later dates than those before obtained.
The Funds have been very heavy this morning owing
principally to the settlement of the Consol Account
now in progress. Stock has been borrowed, and the
continuation is at one-sixteenth per cent. For Money
the value of Consols has fallen from 98+ to 98i, and for
Account from 98+ to 981. This afternoon the New
Three-and-a-Halt per Cents. will close for the calcula-
tions of the dividends, as well as the Three-and a-Half
per Cents. Reduced. The Government brokers bought
5,0001 Reduced Three per Cents. at 991 The premium
upon Exchequer Bills has fallen to 745., and Bank Stock
is lower by per cent. than it was yesterday.
In the Foreign Funds the business done to-day has been
very trifling. Spanish Bonds are rather higher, the
Actives being quoted at 22i- f. Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents., however, fluctuated from 61k to 61
Belgian Bonds are heavy at 1024. Mexican are at 35
and Colombian at 13i.
An improvement has taken place in the Birmingham
and Gloucester Railway Shares, in the Great Western
Half Shares, and in the London and Birmingham. The
other shares are generally rather lower than yesterday.
