MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, MONDAY EVENING.
Business in the English Stock Market has been extremely
doll to-day, scarcely a bargain having been made, and then
only to a trifling amount. Prices at the close of business were
not quite so high as at the commencement, but the variation
is merely a shade. Consols for Money left off at 891/ and
for the Account at 894 , Exchequer Bills were .also flat at
28 to 30 premium.
The Foreign Stocks are dull and declining. It has at length
been acknowledged that no real cause existed for the late rise,
and that the circumstances of the several states are not such as
would have warranted it, Portuguese Three per Cents. were
last quoted at 20 20* ; the Five per Cents. 3414 3%. Co-
lombian, 26 to 26*. Mexican, 41 to 4114. Spanish, 24 4.
The price of Belgian was 103 to 104. Brazilian, 70 to 71.
Dutch Two-and-a-Half.per Cents., 521 t ; the Five per Cents.,
103 to 103%.
Railway Shares were not in much demand, but prices re-
main the same' Birmingham being 85 to 87 ; Great Western,
26 to 27 ; the Half-Shares, 13* to 13 premium. Birming-
ham and Gloucester, 56 to 58; South Western and Dover, 59
to'6o ; Gosport, 59 to 60 ; North Midland, 70 to 72 ; the New
Shares, 341/2 to 351/2 ; Brighton, 3614 to 34 premium;
South Eastern, 22* to 213%4 ; Eastern Counties, 13* to 124
discount.
An order issued by the East India Company created some
little sensation to-day. It requires that all officers on furlough
below the rank of Lieutenant-Colonels, who may have been ab-
sent for twelve months from India, shall immediately proceed
to join their respective regiments.

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
Business generally appears still unsettled, and probably will
remain so until the new plans are decided one way or the other.
The produce and stock markets are comparatively deserted ;
nevertheless the prices of English securities remain, as on Sa-
turday, with a firm appearance, Consols being 894 4 for
Money, and S9i for the Account; New Three-and-a-Half per
Cents., 99h to 994 ; li.dia Bonds, 9toll ; and Exchequer
Bills, 29 to 31 premium.
The Foreign Stocks have suffered a decline, although no
sales have been made. Mexican is quoted 41 to 41; Colum-
bian, 26 to 24; Portuguese, Five per Cents., 344 to 34/ ;
Spanish, 24k to 244. The price of Dutch Two and a Half per
Cents., 52* to 52h ; the Five per Cents., 101 to 103 a.
Railway Shares also are fiat, and prices not so good ; how-
ever, scarcely anything has been done. York and North Mid-
laud, New, 321 ; North Midland, 71 ; Birmingham, 176 to
177 ; Great Western, 91 to 91/ ; Brighton, 364; the Loan
Notes, 5%.
The non-arrival of the West India steam-ship is owing to
the conduct of the Governor of the Havana, in refusing to
allow her to proceed on her voyage, unless she comply with
certain arbitrary regulations of the post-office. The authorities
at this place throw every impediment in the way of the last of
these vessels which called there.
By the Garrick packet-ship, intelligence to the 28th Febru-
