ment for the stock, ana Dir. Flsgg himself, o.
we are informed, has entire confidence in the road
II is however, undoubtedly true that the statement
published by Mr. Fagg has seriously injured the stock,
not so much from what might be considered the inhe-
rent damaging character Of his pamphle, from the
fact that Mr.. Flagg, while Treasurer of the road, has
fet mpeled against The declared wishes Of the Com
pany, to mike public such statement over his ind.
vidal signature. This has alarmed Lolders of
the etoek, who have thrown it on the market fearing
there is something worse behind. We have the best
reason TO believe thot Mr. Fagg did anticipate any
such result from his publication, but rather supposed
II would help the market price of the stock. The
actual result however has been that about 1000 shares
Of new stock has beea thrown upon the street. There
will b. meeting Of the Directors next week, and pos
sibly reply TO Mr.. Flagg will be prepared, In Cum
berland there is very strong speculative movement
and the market continues advance. The clique which
have been operating Cor the rise recently are the only
purchasers, and it is supposed have bought about
1900 shares. The scheme understand to be to
obtain controlling amount of the stock, remove the
present managers, fund the floating debt said to be
$?50OOO and then test thoroughly the question of the
profitable working Of the mines of the Company.
Pacific Steamship Company was pressed on the mar
ket to-day and declined to O. l. under rmers that one
OF our steamboat conmodores about to put on
boats to Aspinwal and Panama, in opposition to the
boats of this Company, and in anticipation of the open
ing Of the new route through Nicaragua. The Pacific
Steamship Company is, however, well fortified for
such opposition, should there be any serious
intention of starting it, having surplus on hand Of
ssj0O0O after paying 80 p cent dividend in 1851 But
for this phantom oS opposition which has been the
incubus upon th;s stock it would certainly be the
cheapest the LET, having, think paid 30 cent
dividend upon par in the last two years. Parties
have bought stock within that time and received back
in dividends the fell cost. Panama also heavy;
scripton in Lesdon 10 the loan has been increased
about 100000 since the previous steamer. Bank
