of Directors in various schemes is being discontinued. There
„.• is a blemish too in not a few of the schemes that ought to be
noticed, and that is that many " Provisional " Committee-
' men in lines some time past started are termed " Directors" in
new projects. We notice these facts, as it is of the most essential
importance that the strictest faith should be reposed in those
connected with new projects. But should assumed titles be
given to parties which are not warranted, it requires but
little foresight to assert that confidence in the projects,though
good in the main, will fail m obtaining public support.
By the selection of good parties, locally connected, and of
wealthy individuals who really can pay, and by excluding
L stag Provisional Committee-men, the best interests of rail-
way extension will be forwarded. A contrary course will
' hereafter lead but to disappointment_ It would be a useful
' manual to the public, for any one to select the names of Pro-
visional Committee-men, and annex good or bad to them.
There are not any late Colonial arrivals announced in the
City to-day.
There have been some considerable sales of Money Stock
• to-day, and prices were lower by % per cent. early in the
day, but the market has since in some degree recovered. In
Bank Stock a fall of 214 per cent. occurred on yesterday's
closing prices. A sudden rise took place from 205 to 207, and
the present price is 20614. Exchequer bills reached from
49 to 51. Consols for the Account have been done at 97%
and 981 A..
• The Foreign Stocks are somewhat lower, but the transac-
• tions have been so few that special notice is not required.
The settlement in the Railway Share Market has scarcely
been completed, yet prices, however, keep firm, generally
speaking.

STRIKE AMONGST THE LAW-WRITERS.—The ap-
proaching term, and indeed the whole of the ensuing session
of Parliament, will be the busiest that has been known
amongst the law-writers for very many years, and most of
the leading houses have commenced engaging hands, as it is
anticipated that the copying and engrossing of matters con.
vetted with railways will more than fully employ those
usually engaged in the business. Under these circumstances.
a stand is about to be made for an advance of price; the pre-
sent rate of remuneration of sixpence per sheet for common
law, thirty-six lines, and eightpence for Chancery, of forty-
two, not being deemed sufficient. The subject is one that has
created considerable interest in the neighbourhood of Series.
place and Chancery-lane, and a meeting is about to be con-
vened to settle the matter before the commencement
term.
