THE PUMA •
PRICK OP STOOKS THIS DAT AT ONE O'CLOCK :
Reduced 73-i 72{ ex. div.--Consols 74 79f 74j 731
Cons. for May 741 74 per Ct. 82% ex. div.

Bank Long Annuities 19 3-16 # ex. div.
India Bonds 37 38 pre.—Exchequer Bills 2 dis. par.

This being settling day, and so great a fluctuation
having taken place on this account, a considerable
sensation was created early in the morning. Every
exertion was made by the Bulls to take their Stock,
and Consols settled at 73i. Up to one o'clock no
defaulter of any consequence was declared, and busi-
ness on the whole went off very smoothly. The re-
port of a new Loan still gains ground, and a number
of persons hitherto favourable for a rise in the mar-
ket, have turned their iecounts,.being of opinioe
that Ministers must have recourse for a temporary

supply. The Commissioners gave 73.1 for Reduced,
and were served by the Jobbers generally.

•
From the business yet to be gone through in the
House of Commons, of which we this day give an
official statement, it seems probable that the Session
cannot close before the end of June. Several of the
financial details yet remain to be settled ; and among
these, notwithstanding what has been said to the con-
trary by some ofour contemporaries, probably a Loan.

We have not received any French Papers to-day,
Monday having been kept as a strict holiday at Paris;
nor have foreign journals of any kind reached us--A

not very usual of late.

A large portion of our columns is this day occu-
pied with an Address by Mr. Owes, of Lanark, to
the Working Classes.

On the Ist instant, aRy waggon travelling near
Bosley, in Cheshiw, separated at the bolt confining
