accounts Last week. Land warrants are held in

signable, the old ones sought for by settlers /;
and about 1000 per month are located, the num-
Der issued will soon be absorbed, there not being
10000 - 900 INDICATED. The easy state of
the money market has caused a rapid advance in
nearly every description of securities. The high
prices of Government, State, and City Stocks have
turned the attention of capitalists TO cheaper div-
dend-paying Stocks and Bonds. Large invest-
ments in Erie and Reading Railroad Mortgage
Bonds have been made. They are becoming n ia
vorite investment, and advancing in price.
The business of the Reading road is immense

mated that $50, 900 tons Of coal will be transported

REruBLIcAS NAmEs.-Sunday next ia the first

which the terrible National Convention of $50 fixed

more extraordinary is, that many of them actually

substituted in the calendar for those saints. The

drolier than to hear them applied to children and
men. Cabbage my boys" "My Son Potato;''

as the former telegraphs could only work by day,

EXCURSION TO LONDON AND BAcK-A CORE
spondent suggests, that as the great Worlds Fair
in London next June will probably attract more
strangers TO that city than ever there before
at any one time, there many Bostonians who
would like to go. if they could accomplish the trip
for about 500. He has ascertained from good
authority. that provided hundred passeng gers
can be obtained, the proprietors Of line of first
class packets will agree to furnish passage to Lv
erpool and back, and provide good accommoda-
tions and excellent fare for the of srtg dollars
EACH IL IL intended to leave Boston about the mid
die OF May, and arrive in London somewhere near
the 9th OF June allowing three weeks for the passage
across, which is the ustlal time occupied Passen-
gers can remain in London three weeks and make
excursions TO Gravesend, Woolwch, Greenwich
Richmond, Windsor, and other places in the neigh
borhood Of the Great Metropolis; also visit the the
atrcs and public gardens and have "good time"
for the space of three weeks, when they again go
on board the packet, bid adieu to msrrie Engian6
and arrive in Uncle Sans doininions about the
hrst of August, having been absent ten weeks and
gained any quantity of useful iuformation-and all
for the sum of one hundred dollars.
The vister must of couree content himself with
plain accommodations while in London; but our
correspondent, speaking from personal acqusint-
ance says they will be far superior TO those of any
three-dollar boarding house in Boston. In tn.
course OF few weeks some definite propositions on
this subject will probably be made. The idea is
