The only ship arrival with later news is from the Cape of
Good Hol,e, whence the dates are to the 15th of March,
though only to the 6th of that month from the frontier. The
Kafirs were quieter, and the prospects of the agriculturists
were good. Steam navigation had not answered the expec-
tations formed of it, but like all similar enterprises, no doubt
it would require time to establish it in public favour, and
make it pay. There is nothing new from Natal.
There was a slight change in the Bank of England's posi-
tion during the week to the 26th ult. The issue of notes
instead of being further reduced, were increased by 69,725/.
The Rest was 24,956/. greater. The public-deposits were only
2,643,4481, or less by 574,902/. The other deposits were
749,6301. less. The other securities were 973,8131. less, and
the bullion 43,018/Jess.
There has been to-day a heavy market for the public
Securities. Consols have been 98% to 98% for the first
transfer-day next week, and about 98% fur Account. The
illness of M. Guizot, and the expected news relative to the
Oregan question excite still a doubtful feeling. The pre-
mium on Exchequer-bills has been 595. to 575. ' • and on
India Bonds, 725. Bank Stock has been done at 210% for
'
Account • anti India Stock is steadier at 278. The New
Th ree-and. a- Quart er per Cents. are 100% to 100%.
Spanish Stock is still very inactive, and the quotations are
merely nominal. Portuguese Converted obtain 67% to
674. Mexican are 38 to 37%. Dutch Four per Cents.
are 97% to %.
There is a fair business doing in Railway Shares, but the
quotations, in most instances, are rather flatter. • From the
position as respects the market price of the South-Eastern
and North Kent shares, there would appear to be a good
deal of anxiety touching the decision of Parliament.

OVERLANDROUTE TO INDIA.--It would appear that
this route is gaining as much favour for the transit of
goods as it has for the conveyance of passengers. The
comprutively short period employed compensates for the
additional expense, more particularly with such Indian
wares as materially depend upon their novelty for a
market in this country, and which, if they did not arrive
punctually at particular seasons, would disappoint the
connoisseur and beau monde. The elaborately wrought
Cashmere shawls, for instance, without a newness in
which a fashionable season would suffer a depression,
and for which thousands and thousands of pounds are
annually expended by the house of Everington and
Graham alone, who have adopted the overland route in
order to Law the lead of Europe in being the first in the
field with this costly article.
