The new Scotch and Irish banking law is less hostile than
was anticipated, but we doubt whether any interference will
be palatable to 'our cannie neighbours north of the Tweed.
A case is sp-ken of in the City which forcibly illustrates
the justice of our remarss as to the necessity for
extreme caution on the part of all who embark in
foreign railways. The Namur and Liege Company, which
is said to have given no notification of such intention
at the time when the prospectu4S were issued, has printed
on the back of its bankers' receipts, and thereforeonly known
to the shareholder after he has paid his money, a notice to the
effect that out of the profits a dividend of five per cent.
is to be paid to the shareholders, 1 per cent. is to be reserved
for appropriation in the manner deemed most advisable,
and the surplus is to be equally divided between the pro-
jectors, or concessionaires, and the shareholders. Anything
so monstrous was perhaps never before heard of,
even in these clays of railroad enterprise, for the
French companies, reckoning the first men in the
City among their directors, only take one-tenth of the
surplus profits, after paying a good dividend. The share-
holders of the Namur and Liege certainly should take early
steps to protest against such an appropriation.
The Funds opened rather flatly to-day, but look now
somewhat firmer. Consols are 98% to 99% for Money, and
99 to 994 for Account. Exchequer-bills have been firm, at
58s. to 60s. premium, and India Bonds at 71s. to 745.

New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 100% to

The Foreign Securities are quite nominal. Portuguese
Converted have been 66%; Mexican' 37%; Russian, 117% :
and Dutch Four per Cents., 971,4 to 97%.
On the whole Railway Shares look firmer to-day.
