      Friday Evening . Bills are discounted at the Bank terms , 2 £ per cent ., which is the general rate . Money is easier to-day than it was yesterday and in the previous days of the week , and the probabilities are that it will become still easier . Tlie funds were firm to-day at the close of the market , though yesterday and to-day at the beginning they were weak . Consols closed at much the same prices as yesterday . The telegraph brought an improvement in the prices on the Bourse at Paris , which had a favourable effect on our market , and gave all things a

      of English capital and enterprise to be extensively applied ' in . India under the fostering care of the new . Government , is the Madras Irrigation and Canal Company , of . which the prospectus has just been issued . Of the wonderful utility of water in a country like India , no p roof is now required . Fertility depends on it . The object , of . the company , which is incorporated by act of Parliament , is to form a complete system of irrigation and canals as a means of transport . The company

      contemplates extending its operations over a district of four hundred thousand square miles , ¦ throughout which cotton can be cultivated , while the canals will place the district in easy communication with the ocean . Hitherto such works have been undertaken in India by the Government exclusively , which has monopolised their immense advantages . Private enterprise , if duly protected , may succeed cveu better than Government , and the Government will not only protect this enterprise , it will guarantee the company a certain reward .

      cheerful aspect . , . . ,, , .. Railways have been steadily rising through the week , owing to the favourable reports of the traffic on them ; and the public , which has for a long time stood aloof , is beginning to invest in them . For the moment the Great Northern is less in favour than some other lines , while the Midland has been much sought after . Altogether business in the public securities wears a more cheerful aspect than for some time past . There is no unfavourable news from , the Continent ; money is as abund ant there as it is here , and the dealers in them , who have of late had but little to dolook forward to improved times .

      , It may be of some use to the members of the shipping interest if we states—though many of them probably know the fact already—that in Holland , according' to recent accounts , the shipping interest is in a worse condition than has been known for a long period . There is so little employment for much of the shipping there that the shipowners forego all remuneration , happy if they can only find employment for it which pays the expense of preserving the vessels . We are not surprised that all the dock companies have written to the Times to explain that warrants for goods in their keeping are as sound and securely

      as ever they were supposed to be . buch goods are never parted with but to the holder of the warrants properly endorsed by the parties who deposit the foods . We have no recollection of any such frauds eing perpetrated by means of dock warrants lor goods deposited with the companies ; and till the time of Messrs . Windle Cole and Co . such frauds were , we believe , unknown . Accordingly , dock warrants , till that time , were esteemed a perfectly safe securitv , and great was the consternation when it was practically demonstrated that they could be vitiated . The dock companies have done well to explain the nature and vindicate the character of warrants , thouch the work was chiefly made necessary by the

      erroneous description of these documents which was put forth by the Times . The arrivals of bullion in the week seem about equal to the exports , though the latter include 120 , 000 / . as part of the loan to Chili , and 200 , 000 / . expected to be sent in silver to India on Monday . The very old banking firm of Robarts , Curtis , and Co . has admitted Mr . P . M . Weguelin and Mr . W " . Cotton Curtis into partnership , the firm being in future Robarts and Co . The cable of the Atlantic Telegraph Company has been underrun from Valentia to the extent of eleven miles and found uninjured . The dofeot in the cable is therefore further off , and we regret to

      learn that the finances of the company are insufficient to enable them to repair the deficiency or lay anov cable . What will be done the compan y cannot yet say , but the enterprise is of too much importance and too sure ultimately to succeed , not , on some terms or other , to be carried on . The company had a meeting on Monday , at which several projects were discussed and nothing decided . A second , however , called the South Atlantic Telegraph , has been announced , which is to connect the Land ' s

      End with Cape Emiatere , Gibraltar , the Cape Do Vcrd Islands , and ultimately Brazil and North America . This is the most gigantic plan of . ocean telegraphs yet Announced : whether it have a chance of success we will not undertake to say . The- Government of India is about to ' issue in London bills at three days' eight payable at Bengal and Madras , for interest on Government promissory notes previously indorsed in India for payment hero . '

      The railway tfafllo for the week continues to show an improvement—another indication of not inactive businoss . One of the earliest and most satisfactory examples

      but in all Stock Exchange operations ife must niir ^ K ¦ - " for cash , and never for time . The GoycrXS f ^ time since , proposed to the Directors of the Corn t ¦ d'Escompte to increase their capital to 60 000 OOOf condition that the Government should appoint a Gm ° nor and a Deputy-Governor . Tlie Comptojr would ¦ ' that case have been charged with all advances on nnhr securities , the negotiation of warrants and advanW ! ° the bakers' fund , and that of the public works e »™» 2 by the . city . of Paris . The proposal of the GovernmS was rejected by a majority of three votes . The CoaI . Supply of London . — It appears that the importation of coals , culm , and cinders into thenort of London in the past month were 271088 ton brought in 845 ships . In the corresponding ' month iff 1857 , the importations were 333 , 166 tons . The impor tations by sea have increased , while the deliveries b ~ railways and canals have decreased , as com pared with last year . The total receipts from all sources have been 4 , 013 , 397 tons in 18 . 58 , against 3 , 923 , O 7 C tons ifi 1857 leaving an increase of 90 , 321 tons . ' Christmas Cattle Market . —The pendant to the great cattle-show in the market at Copenhagen-fields presented one of the Gnest exhibitions of the kind witnessed in the metropolis for years . The number of short-horns was greatly in excess of all other kinds , and they were remarkable for beauty , breed , and condition . The " Herefords ranked next ; while smaJlness of bone and medium weight were the leading characteristics of the Devons . The show of Scots was a magnificent one and not a few of that splendid breed were as heavy as their statelier neighbours . Neither the Welsh ' Irish supplies were remarkable , and the condition of the few foreign beasts brought forward was only of a middling character . The total import of foreign stock into London last week amounted to 4323 head , and it is computed there could not have been a less number in the market than between 5000 and 6000 . The attendance of both town and country butchers was very large , and there was a fair , but not active demand , for all prime beasts .

      Finance in France . —A principal topic of conver » ation during last w « ek was the establishment of a great discount bank on a large scale , to be called the Imperial Bank , " or " Commercial and Manufacturing DiacountofHce . " The statutes have been laid before the Council of State for its approval . The capital of the now establishment is to bo GO . . OOOf ., of which one-third is to be applied to the discount of commercial bills having ninety days to run . The new establishment will be allowed to lend money on deposit of dock warrants , bonds , transferable aecurltios , and pa mortgages , to which a'third of the capital la to bo devoted . The last third of the company ia to be employed , according to circumstances , in the support of public credit . The now Bank may propose for Government lonns , may purchase Government rentes or railway BUaroa and bonds ,
