The stock market opened this morning buoyan' ard active. Reading Railroad led the list. Erie was in fair request.

This is but the beginning of the movement. The earnings of this company for the first quarter of the present fiscal year are sufficient to satisfy all that the gross in- come for the year will not vary much from five mil- lions of dollars. The compavy have raised the charge for transporting coal to tide water to two dollars per ton, being an increase of sixteen per cent. This alone will give an increase in revenue of nearly five hundred thousand dollars during the present year, without the increase of a ton of coal. In December, 1854, there was an increase ip gross ircome of $21,000, and in January, 1855, an increase of about $90,000. The receipts of Feb- ruary have not been made up yet, but we under- stand they willshow a large increase. Tae returns for the quarter when officially given will show most favorable reeults. Of the railroad stocks, all but Reading and Erie were very dull to-day. Railroad bonds were in demand to-day at prices current at the close on Saturday. Illinois Central were steady at 75 per cent cash and seller's opticn. State stocks were ‘not much operated im to-day, but prices were firm. Nicaragua Transit was in demand at 16} per cent. The gold lost by this line has been recovered. The company were not responsible tor the loas, and their bills of lading exempt them from all dangers, by sea or any other way, incloding robbery. Although the company in no way suffer. ed, the recovery of the movey has had 4 good The answer toeach of these memorials was couched effect on the market value of the stock.

Rothschild, which loan falie due the 1st of March, and will be paid by the Obio Trust Company; and, secondly, to fund the floating debt of the city. To pay the interes! on the above loan the city has levied a apecial tax cf $1500 ayear, and the reveane from the wharves of the city ia placed monthly in the hands of commirsioners to form a sinking fund for the ultimate redemption of the principal.

The Whig says:— The disappearance of Mr. Schuyler, who had a control- Jing interest in this road, and the general crash that succeeded, brougnt matters to a crisis, and all attempts to renew the mortgage were stopped.’ We suppore the stockholders of the Rensrelaer and Saratoga road will endeavor to get the control of it now, to run it in con- nection, clesr through, which will cause a materia: re- duction of the aggregate expenses of the line, The loco- motives, passenger and freight cars and other personal property of 1) company, were sola by the Sheriff ‘week, and were bought mostly by the Rensselaer and Saratoga Company. They brought a little over $34,000. A bill has passed the Delaware House of Repre- eentatives to allow the city of Wilmington to sub- ecribe $250,000 to the stock of the Brandywine Rail- read.
