MONEY MARKET.

The stability of the monetary and commercial interests of this
country, have been fully proved during the past month. Although
the political atmosphere has been lowering or stormy; and it can
scarcely be said that a government has existed, the British funds
have hardly yielded a fraction. The news of the Caffre war
produced but a transient depression. The half-yearly dividend
declared to the proprietors of the Bank of England was 4 per
cent., which, with 3½ paid for the previous half year, makes the
rate 7½ per annum. .

As speculators could do nothing in British funds, their attention
has been turned to the Foreign and Railway markets. The
enormous accession of passenger traffic anticipated from the
coming Exhibition in Hyde Park, has induced a belief in the
certainty of correspondingly large profits, and shares in all the
great highway lines have been eagerly bought at prices which
considering that those most in request have been non- dividend
paying concernsrange, in proportion, higher than during the
mania in 1846. Of Belgian and French shares, one broker alone,
on Monday, the 10th March, sold 7000, and two others 4000 each!
