PLAT1SlzIYG RIFLEs-A correspondent of
the London Mechanics Magazine gives the
following recipe for preventing rifles rusting
in the interior OF tho barrels: "If nitro
muriate Of rlatina be mixed with one-fourth
fits bulk Of ether, and the mixture then al
lowed to settle, the platina solution will fall
to the bottom, when the lighter liquid will
be poured of. The platina solution is then
poured into well cleaned rife barrel, when
galvanic action quickly takes place, and
thin coat of platina is deposited upon the
surface of the barrel, and prevents it from
rusting."

There was fair business done in stocks to-day
and nearly all descriptions were fraction better
than yesterday-the exceptions being Miss uH
skies and New York Central. The former were
unfayorably affected by the advices of the passage
OF the Railroad bill through tho Missouri Assem-
bly-adding over three millions to the debt Of that
State. This result was entirely unexpected, .
very few weeks having elapsed since that same
body, animated by Q conservative spirit, rejected
the same bill. OF the prospects Of the bill be-
coming law we shall know more in o day or
two; the Governor is known to be favorable to its
passage. Meanwhile Missouri bonds, which sold as
high "a s2l yesterday declined to s2t at the open
ing this morning, and closed sl4 bid. New York
Central was in demand at one time this morning at
734; but a Geographic despatch from Albany,
stating that the Legislature had refused to recon-
NIT the Torg BILL by II to IA, caused the price to
decline to IS, and sales were made on time as low
as 723. In the afternoon it rallied and closed 7s3
bid. The uncertainty attending the movements of
the Legislature keeps our market In feverish
state; even should the toll bill pass, it is doubtful
whether the result would be a. injurious to the
market values of the properties concerned as the
present state Of suspense and anxiety The Western
road shares are in good demand Rock Island sold
at 64a on time, closing 64i bid; Galena at 49, clos
ing 500 bid Illinois Central at 6la, closing 6li bid.
There is also some inquiry for the Michigan
shares, which are rather better. Panama and
Pacific Mail are quieter. The advance in the lat
ter stock, SO confidently predicted by many, is re-
tarded by the operations of some SPECTATORS who
hold large blocks, which they may at any time
throw on the market All desirable bonds and
State stocks continue to be much sought for. This
afternoon the market was quite active, and stocks
closed very firm at the following quotations.
