      London , Triday Evening , March 27 , 1857 . The turmoil and excitement of the General Election , has nigh banished business from the Stock Exchange . The "Funds up to this forenoon seemed inclined to be firm , but sellers this afternoon have made them give way . Railway heavy shares have been exceedingly buoyant all the week , those of the really progressive lines , Leeds , Midlands , South Westerns , East Lancashire , being most in demand . Berwicks , York and North Eastern , Dovers , and Caledonian have improved since last week . In foreign and colonial share 3 there has been a marked firmness , Paris and Lyons having been as high as 62 f . per 20 ? . share . Northera of Fiance have risen with Centrals and "Westerns . Grand GPrunk of Canada are as high as 14 f , £ _ , and are going beyond Great Western of Canada in proportion . Trunk Bonds have risen three and four per cent . Indian shares meet with good steady purchasers—those that have received a guarantee from the East India Company . Ceylon Railway and Riga shares are not so good . The depreciation of Joint-Stock shares , particularly those which are established in Australia , is very notable . That favourite property , Union of Australia , has fallen from 74 76 to 54 56 . Recent disclosures of the utter incapability , not to use a harsher term ^ of the directors of certain Joint-Stock banks , make the public distrustful . The good account of the prospects of the Ottoman Bank has sent these shares to 1 J premium ; but as the account approaches , there seems a desire to continue , and not take them up . Bank of Egypt are not in favour . In miscellaneous shares , there have been a few bargains —in London General Omnibus , Australian Agricultural , &c ; Mines are left untouched ; the Cornish men are so busy with their election , that they have no time to waste upon shares . Turkish Six per Cent , stock is rising with the prospect of the declared dividend of three per cent , for the half-year being soon paid . .

      "m-n-bably end by electing him to-morrow . It is Avith great pleasure that we see the announcement of a company which undertakes the important task of providing us with wholesome food . The recent discoveries made by analytical chemists of the revolting adulterations of almost every article of consumption have opened our eyes to the fact that we are practically reduced to this dismal alternative—that wo must either starve or be slowly poisoned . Not without reason do we execrate the bakers of Hong-Kong , who endeavoured by poisoned bread to sweep off their enemies ; but our own bakers are not free from impeachment on somewhat similar , if not quite such diabolical , grounds . And not only the bakers , but other tradesmen too . Even the druggist , to whom wo go to bo cured after his follow shopmen have made us ill—oven he , the representative of iEscuIapius , the ostensible devotee of HyRBOia , the inheritor of the mantles of GaVen and Hippocrates—evon he " pestles a poisoned poison behind his crimson lights . " Therefore are we glad to see that there is in existence such a company as " The London Unadulterated Pood Company ( Limited ) , for the Importation , Manufacture and Supply of Food , Drinks , and Drugs , in a pure state , " with a capital of 100 , 000 ? . in 5000 shares of 20 Z . each . Some admirable names are to bo found in the lists of Trustees and Directors ; as , for instance . General Sir John Forster Fitzgerald , K . C . B ., M . P . ; the Right Hon . Lord Thomas Pelliam Clinton ; the Hon . V . II . F . Berkclby , M . P . ; Captain W . Peel , &c . Dr . Lethetoy is to be the chief analyst , and tho Company will bank at tho Bank of London . If thero is any doubt of the success of tho undertaking , thero must also ' bo a . doubt of tho common sense of tho English people .
