One of the most important features in the last accounts
from Canada is the rapidly increasing disposition shown to
extend public works, and form railways and harbours of pro-
tection on the St. Lawrence. We were previously advised
that a project for the construction of a railway from the St.
Lawrence to the Atlantic had been broached, and that a
Bill for that purpose had passed the Legislature,
and had received the assent of the Governor.
Many of the Canadian merchants here were to
be asked to join those in the colony in the under-
taking, the advantages of which cannot be too highly
estimated as a means of developing the resources of
British North America; but as this and other great works
will give full employment to thousands of emigrants from
this country, a northernly terminus of the Provincial line
was to be established at Portland. It is to be hoped that
the surplus- capital here will be directed to the carrying works
of this kind to the principal British colonies, as well as to the
East Indies, where a most ample field exists for extending
internal communication. The rapidity with which schemes
for continental railways are got up here ought to make
monied men very cautious how they part with their cash,
because if the plans do not succeed, their deposits will be
pretty well sweated before the companies will be solved.
We find that a suggestion we made some time since of calling
for a deposit at the time shares are written for has been
adopted. This will effectually put a stop, or nearly so, to
persons applying solely for the purpose of selling their letters
of allotment.
Papers to the 12th ult. have come to handby the Washing-
ton, from New Ycrk. Money was rather tight, and tem-
porarily the stock market was affected by this circumstance.
From Rio de Janeiro there is intelligence to the 11th of
March, and from Buenous Ayres of the 22d of February.
The political news is not important. The blockade by
Buenos Ayres was being more rigidly enforced, and no
vessels would be allowed to trade with the ports of that re-
public unless they could show that they had not touched any
where within the Monte Videan territory.
Some of the foreign railways evidently do not afford satis-
faction to the inhabitants of the districts for whose advan-
tage they are professedly concocted here. It is stated in ac-
counts from Belgium that the Louvain and Jemappe station
at Havre is a quarter of a league from the town, and that of
Jemappe, connected with the State railway, is four leagues
from Namur, and four from Charleroi.
In the City this morning very many anxious inquiries
have been made to learn the full extent of the dreadful ac-
cident at Yarmouth, but there are not any facts of import
ance known beyond those which appear in the daily papers.
In the British Securities there has not been much busi-
ness done this morning. Consols for the Account have fluc-
tuated from 983/ to 98%, and for Money from 98% to 98% ;
money is rather in request, but the rate of interest has not
been advanced, as far as we are enabled to learn. The pre-
mium on Exchequer .bills is rather heavy at 555. Not a bar-
gain has been made in India Bonds. Bank Stock has fallen
to 209, and India Stock, for the Account, is 2901. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been in fair re-
quest at 100% %.
The quotations of the Foreign Bonds were very steady this
morning. The Spanish Five per Cents. have been done at
30% • the Three per Cents. 41% • and the Passive Bonds
at 71/;,. The Portuguese Converted have touched 67% to
6714 for the Account. Russian are up to 118. Dutch Four
per Cents. 97%. Mexican Stock for the Account has been
steady at 37% to 373/4. Columbian at 15%.
The Railway Share market has been very varia-
ble to-day, with a considerable amount of business in
progress. The principal alterations have been in the
Great Western, which have receded, the London
and Birminghams, which have advanced, as have the Newry
and Enniskillen. In other shares not much change has oc-
curred. The French lines of railway are looking better—the
demand for the best lines being on the increase—especially
for the Bordeaux, Toulouse, and Cette, the Great Northern
of France, and the Lyons lines. The National Bank of Ire-
land Shares have been quoted at par.

MARKET NE W DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

The past week's arrivals of English Wheat have been, the
time of year considered, moderately good, and of full average
quality, while those of Barley, Malt, Oats, Beans, and Peas,
have been limited. Of Irish Oats the receipts have been far
from extensive; while from abroad the imports have been
rather limited. Fresh up, only a limited quantity of
home-grown Wheat was received; hence the stands
were rather scantily filled with samples of both red and
white. On the whole, the attendance of both town and coun-
try dealers was rather limited, yet the finest parcels were in
steady request, at prices about equal to those paid on Mon-
day last. In all other qualities comparatively little was
doing, yet the rates were mostly supported. At the clese
of business a total clearance was not effected.
We continue to receive very flattering accounts respecting
the young wheats from nearly every part of the country.
There was very little foreign Wheat on offer. Good sound
parcels free of duty were in fair request, but all other
kinds were a mere drug. In prices we can
notice no variation. Bonded Grain was almost
nominal. The Malting season being now nearly over,
indeed, many of the large malsters have already ceased work,
the Barley trade was very dull, at barely stationary
figures. In Malt, the supply of which was small, we have
very few sales to report ; but when they were pressed, lower
rates were complied with. The Oat trade was steady at fully
last week's prices ; while Beans and Peas were quite as dear.
Flour and Seeds heavy, at late rates.
