RATE OF INTEREST.—An advertisement of tenders for
loans to the London and North-Western Railway Com-
pany, to be paid . nterest for at the advanced rate of 5 per
cent. per annum, has excited much attention, and rather
taken people by surprise. It was considered, rather super-
ficially, perhaps, that a powerful, high-dividend-paying
and large capital-endowed company like that, should be
enabled to borrow money upon easier terms. Its securi-
ties, in many quarters, are held to be scarcely or little
inferior in value and solidity even to those of the govern-
ment. The fact should, however, rather be taken as
sign of the times, and with a regard to accompanying
circumstances. For it must be observed, that no sums of
lass than five thousand pounds are to be accepted, and
that the rate of interest quoted is not gauranteed for more
than three years.

CELEBRITY OF THE LONDON OYSTERS.
The acknowledged superiority of the London Oysters, and
the difficulty of obtaining them regularly even in this great
commercial town, 'has induced the Proprietor to arrange with
one of •the first Fishmongers of Billingsgate, from whom he
daily receives AN A'RUNDANT SUPPLY OF THE NATIVES; but
as all the Liverpool journals have eulogised them, Mr. F. sub-
mits their recommendation rather than his own_

"A, dish of the finest Oysters we ever remember to have seen
or tasted ; we can honestly recommend them."—Mercury.
