The Increased Confidence in Amer,ean Securities
This week the purchase of American stocks for
account of continental and English houses has
again been large; and even Florida stocks, so long
neglected, have changed hands at higher prices,
"a every prospect of our stocks increasing in
value, as the English STOCKHOLDERS find that by
placing confidence in the sneers and satire of the
Times, they have been prevented from investing
in American stocks, which are so productive, and
have risen more than any other, and proved gold
en- harvest to those who followed the views and
advice given so continually in your Herald since
the last five years; and some few American mer-
chants here-Mr. Melvll Wilson and MIR. Peabody
who, like you, have proved true prophets
CARDS American stocks, have made much money
BY them MIR. Bates, since his return from the
United States, appears also to have greater conh-
dence, and is doing more in American stocks than
formerly. 1t is unfortunate for the Rothschilds
that they have not been In America, and have in-
vested so much In continental stocks, which ere
long will be little better than Waste paper, Aus
tria, France, and Prussia must now soon have I'M
mense loans to make, and little prospect of any
one taking them. Our 6 per cent United States
stock is now high here that 1t produces only Al
per cent interest, and many think 1t will not go
much higher, whilst others believe it will still rise
8 to 8 per cent.
The article in the Times, reviewing the Senator
from MIssisslpps letter, about the Reputation OF
that State has attracted great attention here, and
they are now awaiting the reply Of the American
press.

The fashsnables are leaving London very fast,
either from fear of the cholera, which disease is
making sad havoc among the poor, and increases
daily its number of victims, or to follow in the
wake of her Majesty, who departs from Osborne
House, her present residence, for Ireland, early
IN August. Quite a fleet of three-deckcrs will
escort the royal family to the Cove of Cork, where
they will disembark, and become the guests Of the
Lord Lieutenant.
