By this rapid transmission of intelligence, the alternations in the prices of the markets at Manchester, &c. &c., being almost simultaneous with those of London, the merchants of the former are saved from being victimized by the latter. It is true that by great exertions prior intelligence may electrically be sent by private message; but as the wary ones cautiously wait for the despatch of the Telegraph Office, it has but little effect. At one o’clock information is sent to all the electric reading-rooms of the London quotations of funds and shares up to that hour, thus showing the actual prices at which business has been done. The closing prices of the French funds for the day preceding are usually annexed, and the state of the London wind and weather at that hour. Early in the morning the instrument boys are to be seen greedily devouring (for, with the curiosity, eagerness, and enthusiasm of youth, they appear to take great interest in their duties) the various matters which from all quarters at once are imparted to them. One has just received intelligence by telegraph from Ely, announcing the result of the Lynn election. Another, a copy of a ‘Moniteur’ extraordinary, containing the first message of the President of the French Republic to the President of the National Assembly. Another, that “Stewart’s and Hetton’s were nineteen and sixpence. Gosforth eighteen shill. Holywell fifteen and sixpence. Hastings Hartley fourteen and ninepence. S Q--market one hun. fifty one, sold one hun and three--S Q. Market very good--P Q.” Another, the following characteristic description of the winds and weather of Old England at 9 A.M.:-- _Places._ _Wind._ _Weather._ Southampton W.S.W. Cloudy. Gosport S.E. „ Portsmouth S.E. „ London E. Rain. St. Ives W. Very fine. Cambridge S.W. Cloudy. Newmarket E. Cloudy. Yarmouth E. Fine. Lowestoffe E. Stormy. Norwich E. Fine. Chelmsford N.E. Cloudy. Colchester S.E. Fine. Ipswich Fine. The above description of our changeable climate, it occurred to us, would not very incorrectly represent the present political state of Europe. During the day telegraphic information flashes upon these boys _from the_ STOCK EXCHANGE, informing them of “prices and closing prices of the funds and principal railway shares. With remarks.” FROM THE LONDON CATTLE MARKET, stating “the number and quality of beasts, sheep, calves, pigs. _Holland_ beasts, sheep, calves. _Danish_ beasts. With remarks.” FROM THE MEAT MARKET, stating “the prices of every description of meat, with remarks.” Also similar returns from all the other markets we have enumerated.
