cent , per annum , which has been joyfully acceded ; to by the sfiareholders . The lugh interest gained by the shareholders of the joint-stock banks M only a reward for the integrity with which they are conducted , It is , in truth , an exemplification , on a large ^ scale , o ± integrity and skill appropriately rewarded . They have gained because they have deserved the confidence of others . By confidence which is more valuable than capital , and supplies its place , they are enriched ; they carry on their business with very little capital , ana the less they have , provided they deserve and . obtain confidence , the better . All men may be pleased , the poor as well as the rich , at the confirmation which tins iact supplies . That in man himself , and not in accumulated work , which may be as useless as that old fort at ti . au , now to be sold and pulled down—making the H umber secret of
shore available for commerce—lies the source au success ; not capital , which the millions may in vain sigh for , but integrity—winning confidence which every one can practise- ^ -secures large pecuniary rewards . The effect of the peace on the Stock Exchange has been a general improvement in the nature of securities . In Paris the rise has been very considerable . Here some doubt as to the consequences still perplex people , and there has not been such a gust . of confidence as in laris . Nevertheless , the general tendency has been upwards . To-day Consols opened at 95 £ for the Account , and went to 98 * , sellers . Then the telegrams from Paris brought a little retrocession in the price there * and Consols at the close were 95 f £ . Other securities are rather flat , -without any marked alteration in price . A great improvement is noticed in the half-yearly returns of the French Railparticularly those which run to the south ..
ways , . The averag-e increase as compared to the first six months of last year is not less than 20-9 per cent ., while our railways have only yielded ah increase of 5-6 : 4 per centi These large gains of the French railways paid out of the public revenues will have , with other gains , to be subtracted from the cost of the war to the French nation . There was np demand for money in our Stock Exchange to-day , business not being very active , and the accounts of the speculators being tolerably evenly balanced .

From the Continent-we hear favourable reparts of the harveati and the weather is here every , thing we could wish , promising us a Very early , which is generally a very good , harvest . Consequently the corn markets , in spite of the-riisease amongst the potatoes , which is now recognised to t » e very general , are very dull . Farmers are too busy in their fields to send great quantities of corn to market , and the quantities they do send generally fetch a lower price . A good harvest is a great encouragement ± 0 trade , and the autumn of 1859 , now that an end is put to the bloody strife in Italy , inay yet be extremely prosperous ^ . In industry , skill , and propitious weather , there are all the elements of prosperity ; and now that a good use can be made of them , we may see reason for believing that trade generally will be rapidly extended .

At The Half Yearly Meeting Of Tlie Londo...
At the half yearly meeting of tlie London and Greenwich Railway Compan y the accounts were read , showing an available balance in favour of the proprietors of £ 11 , 912 7 s . 4 d . out of wliich the directors now declared a- ^ ividend of 5 s . 6 d . per share on the ordinary capital , which is at the rate of £ 1 7 s . 6 d . per cent . "The accounts having been passed , the meeting adjourned , A preliminary notice has been issued of the City , Thames , aki > West End Hailway , an undertaking which is proposed to be carried out by a capital of £ 1 , 250 . 000 , in 125 , 000 shares of £ 10 each , the length of the new line required being about nine miles . The route proposed is fronithe City side of JLondon-bridge ,
via the Middlesex foreshore of the Thames , to Blackfriars . Charing Cross , Westminster , and Pinilico : thence by way of Chelsea , Belgravia , Brompton , Kensington and ' -Nptting-lull , to the Great Western Kail way at Paddington , and to the North Western Railway at Kilburn . The project is proposed on the ground of the imperative necessity of facilitating intercommunication between the distant parts of the metropolis , and for affording that relief to the overcrowded traffic which already interferes with the ordinary progress of every-day life . The scheme merits consideration , as it will involve a system of cast-iron sewage drainage , aud effect , at a comparatively economical cost , the operations to be followed out by the Metropolitan Board of Works .

Yesterday ' s prices ranged from 16 s . to 21 s . per cran Tho weather is so very mild and clear , and the nights are eo short , that , bflt for a large body of fish being on the coast , there could not have been such a general and good fishing . The total catch to this date is about 470 crans , against . 260 in 185 ( 5 , and nil in 1857 and 1858 . About forty boats were out last night from the JLybstor district , and have from one to five craias , average two , price 13 s . to 15 s .
