The intimation given by Lord Joh% Russell last evening
that he intended this day to put questions to the Premier with
respect to negotiations with the Government of Brazil, hav-
ing for their object the formation of a new treaty of com-
merce, &c., has attracted attention in City circles. It is more
than probable, from what we hear, that the answer will
be that there are no negotiations at present for
the purpose alluded to. But from information, through
private sources, we believe them cannot be a doubt that
something like an approximation with the views of our Go-
vernment, and of that of the Brazils, is in progress. It
cannot be too strongly urged upon the attention of our
Ministers that deep and lasting injury must be pro-
duced upon a very large proportion of our manu-
facturing interests, and upon our export trade, by a strict
adherence to the line of policy which has recently been car-
ried out respecting the amount of duties levied upon the
staple exports of the Brazils. And an opening is afforded
by the fact, that (as we are told) the mission of the
Count d'Abrantes to the German Union has not been quite so
satisfactory as reported in the Continental journals. If
this prove true, no time should be lost by our Government
in resuming, if it has not already done so, a friendly inter-
communication with the Minister at present located here as
representative of the Brazilian empire.
We are without any arrivals of interest to-day from the
colonies.
Railway schemes were so prolific that we confidently ex-
pect to see scores of them of but limited existence—in
fact, never carried beyond the preliminary stage of
the advertising and collection of deposits. Some
lines, however, especially where requiring no large
amount of capital, will be certain to ensure support
from the public, as well as the Legislature, and many of the
Irish lines stand in this favourable position, how-
ever doubtful it may be whether one or two,
which we could name, will pay. A small under-
taking of a most promising character, full details of
which, we believe, have appeared in the advertising columns
of The Sun, has been brought under our notice, and cer-
tainly appears to offer an unusually excellent prospect of ad-
vantage to the district for which provided, as well as for
the parties who may be so lucky as to be concerned as share-
holders. The Newry and Warrenpoint Railway is the line
to which we allude, and which, for so short a line, will ac-
complish more than many similar and expensive under-
takings. It will connect Newry, an important commercial
town, with its shipping, port, and harbour, and be an im-
portant adjunct to the Newry and Enniskillen and Dublin
and Belfast Railways.
The Public Securities have been very firm to-day, and
there has been a good business doing. Console have realised
99% to for Money, and 99% to 3/4 for Account. Ex-
chequer-bills have been 61s. to 635. premium. Bank Stock
is rather firmer, at 210 to 209%. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. have realised 101% to N. The Three
per Cents. are 91% to %. The Government broker continues
to purchase New Three-and-a-Quarter and Three per Cents.
The Foreign Bonds are dull, as the Acceunt will be ar-
ranged to-morrow. Spanish Actives have been 2934, and
Portuguese Converted 663/4 ; Mexican have been quoted
36% to 37%. Brazilian are firm at 90. Dutch Two-and a-
Half per Cents. were 633/4.
The Railway Shares have been rather brisk again, although
the settlement of the Account is in progress. The old lines
are best supported.
