The statement of M. Stephanos Xenos, to the effect that

the present Greek Government intend to disregard the debt of 1824-5, has created a panic in the market for Greek bonds, and a heavy fall has taken place in prices, business having been done as low as 25 and 24/. All other foreign securities have ruled heavy, and the quotations show a reduction of from 2 to 3 per cent. from last week. The Confederate loan has been done at 50. Railway shares have declined in price, but the market yesterday was some- what firmer. The first train passed over the Charing Cross Rail- way on Tuesday last.
