chants Exchange.
The subscribers TO the Southern Michigan guaran-
teed Construction Stock continue to come in freely,
and the amount taken up this afternoon is %, iOS
shares representing 23iO 800. There is now every
appearance that the subscriptions will exceed the
amount asked for by the Company.
We hear of 81 900 900 to 81 300 900 in gold, mostly
coin. going by the Africa, which is a much larger
shipment than was anticipated. This amount will
probably be replaced on Thursday by the arrival of
the Aspinwa steamer 1t is the opinion of one OF the
leading banking houses in the California trade, based
upon information received by the previous boat that
the coming steamer will bring nearly OOOO 900, and
that the two June shipments from San Francisco will
aggregate 100000.
We learn from official source that the first section
Of the Galveston, Houston and Henderson Railroad,
twenty-five miles, has been completed on the Both

B. Kmbal esq, the President of the Company, who,
for the last three months has been the ground to
supenntend the completion of the work, is daily eI-
pected in the city, and on his return we shall be able
to lean more in regard to this enterprise.
The annual election of the National Insurance Com
pany took place to-day when the Directors of the pre-

having paid in ten years ls7 T. cent in cash dividends
