Last tuning a public meeting to promote the Claims of the inhabitants of f'helsea, Kensington. Hammer south, and Fulham, to be represented in parliament, took eacc at thy Commercial Ilan, King's-road, Chelsea ; Mr. Tuomax V.K I: 11. in the chair. In opening the pnweedin,rs, the ellAlltMAN observed that thee were assembled on this occasion for the purpose of concerting measures with a view to secure the enfranchise • moat of this populous district. The government had already been appealed to, bat they had not yet acceded to the wishes of the people. It was not a great boon they asked. seeing that the House of Commons had been sitting fora long time past with two members short of that num b-. which it professid to require to constitute the legisla tive body. The population of the district comprised an amount of wealth and intellectuality which could not be surpassed in any other locality of similar magni tude. It was, therefore, a matter of much surprise that their request had nut been complied with, but it would :Mathat government had always attended as little as pm tzo the wishes of the people, and it was not until they found themselves compelled to make conccs.sons that they ever listened to the s ince of truth and justice. The last two great questions—namely, the Reform Bill and the Anti- Corn-law qaestiou, were instances in which the government would concede nothing, but at hot they conceded every thing that was d. sired, and even more. They must, there fore, be unanimous in their feelings on this subject, and continue to appeal to the House of Commons until they succeed , .d in :iecomplishing their object. (Hear, hear.) Mr. OASIS IiLL. jun., moved a resolution to the effect, "That this district, comprehending a population of 130,000, nialeontributing so large an amount to the public burdens of the country, ought to be directly represented in parliament by w it...t two members." Mr. W. noll'sON, of Hammersmith, seconded the re eulution, whieli was carried unanimously. Mr. T. J. nEttLE proposed a resolutiou, that "the House of Commons, as at present constituted, does not repo aent the opinions and want. of the majority of the nati.,n, and that, without the people are more fully represented in parliament, no efficient mea sures of retrenelunint and good government can be co peettd." The motion having been seconded was unanimously agreed to. A petition to parliament was then presented fur signature, and the meeting separated. AM) CLERICAL.

A special general meeting of the proprietors was held yesterday at noon, at the Paddington-station, M r . C. Itimmett, the chairm an of the company, presiding. The attendance was not very large. The meeting was called to consider and approve of the copy of " a bill fur enabling the company to construct new lines of railway to connect the Birmingham and Oxford Junction Railway with the London and North Western Railway at Birmingham, and for ether purposes ;" and secondly, to consider and approve or otherwise, of "an agreement entered into conditionally between this company and the Shrewsbury and Birmingham and Shrewsbury and Chester Railway Companies, for an application to parlia ment to authorise the fut u re lingliramation of the said throe companies, to take effect on or after the Ist of January, PM, upon certain terms and conditions recited therein, with power to make an interim arrangement, under likeau thority from parliament, to apply, if necessary, the earnings of the' Londonghrough traffic 'over certain lines of the three companies, to secure to the proprietors of shares in the two last mentioned companies a minimum dividend of three per cent. per annum for three years, and of four per cent. for one year, those railways being worked in connexion with each other, in manner provided under the subsisting agree ment between the same three companies, dated January 10, 1851. It was proposed also to consider and determine as to the propriety of making, in conjunction with the said two companies, or either of them, any agreements with the Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire Junction Railway Company, in respect of the working over, or use, or lease of the railways belonging to the said last mentioned company, as well as for any future amalgamation, if thought advis able, of the four companies into one undertaking upon such terms and conditions as may be mutually agreed upon be tween them." The meeting having been opened in the usual manner, by reading the advertisement, of which the above is the sub stance,_ The . CHAIRMAN said, in conformity with the standing orders of the House of Lords, we have conceited you for the purpose of obtaining your approbation ,of a bill which it has been requisite to introduce into parliament during the present imam. Its object is to make a very short branch, not amounting, I believe, to a quarter of a mile, from our Birmingham and Oxford Railway into the London and North Western station at Birmingham, or to join their lino at a short distance to the south of that station. I think you will remember that our Birmingham and Oxford line of railway was originally undertaken at the suggestion and, iqdced, at the earnest solicitation of the Grand Junc tion Railway, and its object wee an interchange of traffic with that company. Such being the GSM:, our that project was to use the Grand Junction station for that purpose, but the policy of the Grand Junction was afterward. change d. They abandoned their alliance with us , an d th e y f orme d an amalgamation with the Londe,, and North Western Com pany. We arc not only wider an obligation to make this branch, but a penalty has been imposed upon us by parliament, in case we do not; and it is to fulfil that obligation, and to avoid that penalty, that we hive brought this bill into parliament, which wo now submit to you for your approval. (Cheere.) In answer to question, the CHAIRMAN stated that he was perfectly aware the London and North Western now represented this as a hostile act, but they had previously insisted upon it. He then moved a formal resolution, to the effect that the bill be approved of. Carried unani mously. The CHAIRMAN—We now proceed to the considera tion of the other important subject mentioned in the cir cular calling this meeting. At our helf-yearly meeting in February you will remember. I stated to you that our ne gotiations for an amicable arrangement with the Loudon and North Western Railway having entirely failed, otter the most earnest exertions on our part to accomplish it, no alternative was left us, if we were to render our northern lines of any use to us, than to enter into an arrangement with the Shrewsbury companies for an interchange of traffic between us. 1 think it was impossible that any arrangement could be mote fair, or more legitimate; for the Shrewsbury lines are a direct extension of our own lines. We made, however, every effort in our power to come to terms with the London and North Western Company; fur we should have preferred such an arrangement, because it would have brought peace end agreement between us. We waited pa tiently till all negotiation between us had completely ter minated; and we nut only did that, but we took great pains to ascertain that the Shrewsbury companies were nut themselves engaged in any negotiations with the London anal North Wretern before wo en tered into any arrangement with them. (Hear, hear.) That arrangement was completely within the mope of our legal powers, and was entirely consistent with the policy under which these lines were granted by the legislature ; but the London and North Western thought tit to adopt every means in their power to thwart us in this arrange ment. The course of proceedings which they took on this occasion hears a striking resemblance with the measures they adopted in the case of the Birmingham and Oxford line. At the half-yearly meeting of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company, in the month of February last, the proprietors in the interest of the London and North Western obtained proxies without making known to the directors the purpose for which they were to be applied, and they used them for the purpose of constituting a small committee, whose duty it ehoulat be to supersede the autho rity of the directors, to subvert the agreement which 111,111 been entered int, by them with us, and to enter into a new agreement with the London and Nurth Western Company. When the chairman, advised by an eminent Queen's coun sel, who sat at his right hand, that the motion was illegal, refused to put it, a shareholder jumped up and put it for him. When the chairman like wise refused to put the question of adjournment, because it was illegal, the same course was taken—a gentle man put it for him. When the chairman, acting under the same advice, told them that he would not produce the com pany's seal to be used for an illegal purpose, anal affixed to an illegal instrument, the chairman of that committee, amidst the cheering of the shareholders, produced a new seal, and applied it to the decd. It was by means such as these that that committee sought to set aside the agreement with us, and to make a new agreement with the London and North Western Company; and these means were pre cisely the same as were adopted in the case of our struggle with them respecting the Birmingham and Oxford line. The directors of the two boards felt that they were perfectly justified in taking any steps within their Power for the purpose of strengthening and maintaining the alliance which we bad made with the Shrewsbury com panies, before the intervention of the Loudon and North Western. Negotiations between the boards ensued, and the arrangement which we to-day propose to you, was the result. It has already been confirmed by the proprietors of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company, and we shall now submit it to you for your approbation and confirma tion. The principal conditions of the agreement are, that front a fund to be specially set apart for the purpose we shall give to them a guarantee of three per cent. fur the first three years; and of four per cent. for the fourth year, at the expiration of which an amalgamation shall take place between the three companies. The special fund from which that guarantee is to be given is, as has been stated to you in our circular, the earnings of t hel London through traffic and these earnings we shall owe entirely to our alliance with those companies. It cannot be expected that the Birmingham and Shrewsbury company should be able to maintain a (Tposition entirely independent; but it is compelled almost the force of circumstances to form an alliance with one its two powerful neighbours. If it places itself under the influence of the London and North Western company, of course it will transmit all its through traffic over the London and North Western lines; and in the same man ner if an alliance be made with us the traffic will pass over our line. It is to that alliance, therefore, that we shall owe this specific traffic, and it is this traffic and not the general revenues of the Great Western Railway by which the guarantee is to be afforded to these companies. (Cheers.) The amalgamation which is to take plaice at the expiration of the fourth year, will be upon the fairest of all possible terms—upon the actual ascertained value of the three lines. (Cheers.) The traffic which passes over the other lima will be treated as belonging to them, the traffic which panes over our line as belon to us; and upon that basis the amalgamation will be f ormed. (Hear.) Of course we arc not, I need scarcely say, competent to enter into the agreement now ; but what we ask you li the power to go to parliament, to confirm such agreement. (Cheers.) It will be quite clear that the Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire Company, locally constitutes a portion of this continuous system of railway that we are now about to establish ; and that their interests are identical with the two Shrewsbury Companies. This is the view that they themselves take of it ; and this reduces the question en tirely to a question of terms—of the terms upon which they shall be associated with the other companies. Several ne gotiations have passed between us on that subject, but at present we have come to no result, and the resolution merely asks for powers to make an arrangement with them if a satisfactory one can be made. (Cheers.) When the whole arrangement shall have been completed, and I firmly believe we stall be able to complete it—(hear, hear)—we shall have made good our position, and shall be able to claim the rights that justly belong to us. (Cheers.) The first question that will arise is a legal one. Is the agreement with the London and North Western Rail way which was made by the committee of shareholders, or me that which was made by the directors, and has since been confirmed by the proprietors, with us, valid ? That is the first question that must be settled. At the last meeting of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham the deputy-chairman stated, on behalf of his board, that the counsel upon each side—Sir Fitzroy Kelly on behalf of the committee of shareholder', and Mr. Butt on the part of the directors— should meet and prepare a ease to be salemiNed to a compe tent legal authority, all parties to be bond by the decision of suck legal authority ; but that pregesel, I am sorry to my, has not been Needed to. One seine, however, is dear before us. It is to ahem ly tithe engagements which vas have made wI the wgwbsep Bats, and to stand firmly and issarialely oir ova just rights. I do amen you, as I have said ant we by lnfinitely prefer that those rights shod= eahafilabod means of an amicable arrangement rather then by a hostile struggle with the London and North Western Company. (Loud cheers.) 'lite heads of the agreement were then rend over. Mr. WARDLE, the chairman of the Shrewsbury and Chester Company, expressed his full concurrence in the statement of the chairman ; and said that their prospects of success were very large indeed. (Cheers.) In answer to a question, The CHAIRMAN assured the proprietors that he was , quite alive to the desirability of not making an improvident bargain with the Birkenhead Company. In justice to that company he should say that its directors hail always ex pressed themselves of opinion that their line properly be longed to that system of railways which the Great Western was about to establish, but the board of the latter company were quite sensible that there were other ways of getting to Birkenhead if the former company should demand an exor bitant price. (Cheers.) On the subject of the extension of the broad gauge he did nut think it prudent to make any declaration. (Hear.) The SECRETARY (Mr. Saunders), in answer to another proprietor, stated that tho distances, as far aa he bad been able to gather them at the spur of the moment from Brad shaw's tables, were as follows : . _ By the By the Great Western. North Western. To Birmingham 127 .... 112 To Wolverhampton 139 1211 To Shrewsbury l6B • • • • 170 To Chester To Birkenhead The agreement was then unanimously agreed to and con firmed. Mr. GRIFFITH drew the attention of the board to the late dreadful accidents which had happened, and hoped that measures would be taken to prevent the occurrence of similar catastrophes to the special trains that might he ex pected to come up to town during the summer.-11r. G. was assured that all due precautions should be t iken. Thanks were then voted to the chairman, and the meeting broke up. BRISTOL AND EXETER RAILWAY COMPANY.-A special general meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Lion Hotel, Eristol. the meeting was con vened for the purpose of considering the provisions of a bill promoted by the Taw Vale Railway and Dock Com pany, entitled "A Bill for authorising certain deviations in the raw Vale Extension, and for other purposes." J. W. Esq., chairman of the company, wits in the chair, and briefly stated that the meeting had ' been called at the request of nod fur the convenience of the Taw Vale Com pany. He did not imagine that there could be any objection to their agreeing to the provisions of the bill, inasmuch as they were the exact counterpart of the provisions of their own bill which had just received the royal assent, the only difference being that the eighty 201. shares which they were to subscribe, were converted into one hundred DW. shares, and that it was provided that these shares sliould he paid up in full when one-half of the proposes' capital of the Taw N ale Company was subscribed. The chairman then moved the necessary resolution, which, having been duly seconded, was, after a few observations from Mr. Boucher, put and carried unanimously. Thanks were then voted to the chair man, and the meeting broke up. THE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY COMPANY AND ITS GUAILANTSES.—The North British Mail says The va rious vexed questions between the Caledonian ltuilway Company and its guarantees has been amicably arranged. 'the terms of the arrangement are, we believe, nearly as follow:—The Garnkirk Company to receive their gua ranteed dividend of 8 per cent. as at present, in full. The holders of preference stock, and the Clydesdale , Wishaw, tireenock, and Barrhead Comp:ones to make an abatement I from their guarantees of 30 per cent. for the nut three years. and 2.5 per cent. in perpetuity thereafter. These last atoned companies and preference shareholders to have the abatement of 2j per cent., which they yield up converted into ordinary Caledonian stock at 20 years' purchase. The rates ot dividend and amount of stuck guaranteed in the different lines (exclusive of the Garnkirk) arc as follow : Clydesdale, G per cent. on 150,000/. ; IPi.huw, 101 per cent. on 240,0001; Greenock, 4 per cent. on 500,000/. ; Iturrhead, 51 per cent. on 300,000/.; Preference stuck, 6 per cent. on 745,1801.; total, 2,2311,1801. On these stocks the annual guaranteed dividends amount to 133,410/., which will be subject to a reduction of 30 per cent. fur the next three I years, and 2.1 per cent. in perpetuity thereafter. This will reduce the annual amount payable ley 40.023/. for the first period, and by 33,3421. per annum thereafter. 'the arrears of dividend due to these various guaranteed interests is to bo commuted into a payment of 54,000/., which the Caledonian Company are to liquidate as soon as they have borrowed I the necessary funds. 200,0001. are to be borrowed to coin- plete and improve the line ; and 100.000/. more to pay off, the floating debt. The former loan to be preferable to all other claims; the latter to rank after the modified guarantees. Each guaninteed company to retain a lien over its own line fur payment of its modified guarantee.

YORK AND BERWICK PassEsomas.—retitions have been sent from the town councils of Newcastle, Sunderland, Tynemouth, South Shields, and other towns in the north to the !louse of Lords against a clause in two bills that the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway have before the house, by which tho minimum spred of third-elass passenger trains may be re duced from 20 (the present parliamentary rote) to 12 miles an hour. The discovery of those clauses in the bill has roused great agitation sit the north, more especially in the maritime towns, as such a reduction of speed would prove very prejudicial to seamen and their wives, and other 111 CM. ben of the humbler classes who arc obliged to travel by rail. MINING ENTERVRISE ON VIE OTHER SIDE OF Tun ATL INTIC appears to be attracting quite as much attention as in this country, and the prospects of mi n e ra l operations throughout the United States are represented as having never be. n more encouraging than at the present time. The discoveries of recent years, which have engaged the laborious researches of scientific men of high attainments, and which all tend to show the vast extent and richness of the mineral resources of North America, added to the suc cessful applications of labour-saving machinery, effecting an increased economy of expenditure, both in time and money, have given an unwonted impulse to the efforts of enterprising capitalists and speculators, so that the future gives pro mise of a great increase of activity. After the whirl of excitement that has attended the discovery of the gold regions of California, public attention is now being directed to the sources of wealth in the immediate vicinity of the thickly peopled states. The copper mines of Lake Superior have for some time supplied large quantities of ore, and reeearch.es have been stimulated, resulting in new discoveries of copper in Connecticut, which have already been worked with considerable success. The gold mines of Virginia are yielding larger profits than heretofore, and bid fair to I become exceedingly important, as many new adventures have been organised during the last twelve months. The zinc mines of New Jersey are also yielding largely and pro fitably. Prom this state came the immense mass of zinc ore, weighing about eight tons, which was imported by the frigate Ft. Lawrence for the Exhibition. In Arkansas the argentiferous galena has been worked with profit, and the' ore is now shipped to Europe, as owing to the quantity of silver contained, it pays a good per tentage, notwithstand ing the a :pease of transportation. Some of this ore yields 100 ounces to the ton. In Rhode Island and Pennsylvania the working of the coal mines is being extensively pro-1 mended, and the revenues of those states are vastly in creased. American enterprise seems not to be content with the fields of operation opened up in the various states of the Union, extensive as these are, for companies have also been formed in New York for the prosecution of mining opera tions in Cuba and New Orenada.—Daily News. INCENDIARISM IN THE NEIGHBOVRHOOD OF WIN D soß.—On Tuesday night about eleven o'clock, • large oat rick on the Burnham estate, belonging to Mr. Aldridge, an opulent farmer of Chippenham-court, near Salt-hill, was discovered on fire, and before the progress of the devouring element could be got under control, although the most strenuous exertions were made, the following amount of valuable property was consumed :—Two large oat-ricks ; a large barn; an extensive granary, containing a quantity of beans, ca shed, a new waggon, two tarts, eight store plea, • valuable dog, a large quantity of straw, and some valu able machines and implements of husbandry. There is no doubt entertained but that the disastrous occurrence was the malicious act of an incentliarT. The property destroyed is insured in the Norwich Union Fire Office, and it is sup posed that 1,000!. will scarcely cover the damage done. THE WEATHER AND CROPB.—o The last fort night," says the Worcestershire Chreniele, " has pro duced seasonable weather, and vegetation now wean a very luxuriant appearance. An ear of wheat was shown at Pulborough market, annex, last week, which had been gathered by Mr. Boxhall, at Stopham-farm, in that neigh bourhood.' The Hereford nines says: " The prospect of a good crop of apples and pears was more promising at this time of year than in the present. The pears are well knit and look healthy. The apple trees are now in full bloom; the blossom is kind, and the tress are free from insects. The chesty trees bloomed beautifully, and the and currant trees are laden with fruit. We M se tlt e st, "Y ht Mei caw, the late lever. &thee have destroyed the Ira bah." RAILWAYS. Tlllt3 DAT. Two o'CLoeu. The share market presents a very different aspect to-day, as compared with yesterday. With the pro gress of the settlement of the account the market has not been thrown back, as many persons feared would be the ease, by the occurrence of any failure beyond the one alluded to yesterday, and the rates charged for carrying over are not by any means so heavy as they were yesterday, a circumstance which affords encouragement to many operators whose means would have been enppted had the rates ruled high. Much more disposition is evinced to operate for a rise, and the market has advanced with great rapidity, especially for the heavier descriptions of stocks, several of which have attained a rise of 21. to 31. per share, whilst other lines arc proportionately better. MONEY MARKET. THIS DAT. Two O'CLOCK. The dealers in the Stock Exchange to-day show much more confidence, and a marked rally has taken place in all the departments to which attention is at present directed, whilst the general tone has acquired a considerable increase of firmness. Many of the smaller operators have for some time past watched with more or less anxiety the weekly board meetings of the Bank of England,' the uncertainty which h as at various period; prevailed as to the director's views having done much to restrict speculative operations, which otherwise would certainly have taken a very wide range in some departments. With the breaking up of the court to-day without the announcement of any change,—though, as we have on former occasions intimated, no alteration was expected in the best informed circles, some confidence has been shown, and the !ionic funds have rallied full though un supported by any purchase by the government broker, who appears, for the present, to have discon tinued his investment. Consols, which left off yesterday 971 to 1 for delivery, and 97 for account, have rallied to their present quotation of 971 to I and 971 to 98, at which they scent firm. Tha 081eia/ btwiness report is: Three per Cent. Commas. WM ft ditto it Ilisotust, Wit 111. Three per Cent. Reduced, 97, j • Three-and-a-Qaaster per Cents., 981, 98, 1.

Bank Stock is firmer, having been dealt in at 2101 lid 211 1 0 Exchequer Bills have experienced a considerable rally, business being marked as follows: Exchequer Bills, 1,0001. and 5001., 41s. prem. ; ditto Small, 11s. ditto advertised, 395. and -12 s. prem. India Bonds, under 1,0001., 525. prem. Very little business is n•oiniforward in the foreign bond market beyond th e 2 few arrangements requisite for the settlement of thelortnight's account, and not the least inclination to operate is shown by the dealers. The change in prices is limited to a rally in Mexican bonds, which have reached 331, but the tone, gene rally, has participated in the improvement noticed in the other departments of the " house," and prices are much more firmly held. The list of the day's bargains is limited to :—Bacnos Ayres Six per Cents. for account 13th June. 584, A. Mexican Bonds, 311 ; ditto for account, 34(, Ili. Peruvian Five per Cents., 1849, 82 8 31; ditto Defers-et', 38. Portuguese Four per ‘i;ents., 32. Spanish Active Five per Cents., 201, 1 . The traffic returns on nearly all the chief lines of railway are now known. The London and North Western return is 50,2031. against 47,617/. in the corresponding week of last year; the Great West ern, 20,193/. against 17,621/. ; the Midland, 21,805/. ; against Z 1,604/, ; the London and S.

It will be borne in mind that the corresponding week of last year was Whitsuntide, so that where the reterns are lower a satisfactory explanation is afforded; and where higher, the increase of this year must be looked upon as virtually higher. City Navigation Bonds, bearing 3} per cent. inte rest, continue quoted 06. Upper Canada 6 per cent.

The prices noted are :--General Steam Navigation, 271, 28; Peninsular and Oriental,llBi, 70, 691; ditto, New (5/. paid), 101,1 ; Royal Mail Steam, 761. Ininsurance shares the only alteration is a slight decline in Rock Life, which have receded to 61. • Church of England shares are quoted 'V to 3. Shares of reversionary interest and investment societies remain unchanged. General Reversionary and Investment are quoted 91 to 92. Among the miscellaneous securities —Assam Tea Company's slums, which were quoted only 61 a week ago, have risen considerably. South Australian are firmly held. The prices quoted in the official list are—Assam Tea Co., 7,8, 9; Australian Agricultural, 15; Australian Trust, 20; Anglo Mexican Mint, 25; British American Land, 144; Canada Co., 47 ; ditto Five per Cent. Bonds, 951; Hudson's Bay stock, 205; Price's Patent Candle Co., 231; South Australian, 211; Van Diemen's Land, 1 to 2., The rettlement in the railway share market is pro ceeding, and has been attended with a failure of an other of the speculators in Scotch shares. Last ac count he brought forward a considerable sum to make up his differences, and though his liabilities now • are comparatively trifling, he has been obliged to give in. Fears arc expressed with regard to others, and a strong impression prevails that the Scotch directors and bankers arc mixed up with these specu• lotions, by which worthless lines have been run up inordinately. Another class of speculators who arc now suffering is that of the Liverpool cotton-men. For some time past many of the Liverpool men have been in the habit of investing their floating funds in railway shares, as others do in London in Exchequer Bills and stock. These shares have been mortgaged with the bankers at moderato rates fur the cotton and other speculations, on the failure of which the rail way accounts have had to be closed. Hence heavy salts of South-Eastern and other stock in which the , Liverpool men are interested. Very large quantities of these stocks are now being delivered, and on 1 others continuations are being paid at high rates. The continuation on South-Easterns was effected to day at A to 3-16, or from 13 to 20 per cent. prem. The heavy losses of the Liverpool men in cotton have necessarily forced them to contract their rail way operations in French and English shares, and it will be seine time before the Manchester men who I will benefit by the fall of the raw material will be in ‘ a position to take the place of the Liverpool men in the railway market. Other causes arc, however, at work, which must greatly improve tho condition of the share market. The rates of continuation which ruled yesterday arc not heavy in comparison with the crisis by which the market has been affected, though still considerable. On Great Northcrns and small shares the rate has been from 1-16 to 3-32, on South Eastern, and shares of the like class, 1 to 3-16, and on London and North Westerns, Great Westerns, and Midlands about j. On French shares money has been bor rowed at from 6 to 10 per cent. per annum. The bullion market is now undergoing that great change which we have indicated on several occa sions lately. Following on the fall in bar silver, Mexican dollars have receded!, those by the Severn having been sold at 4s. 111 d. perm. The bar silver is not yet sold, and may perhaps be subjected to a reduc tion in price. At Pans yesterday material changes took place in the quotations. Bar gold rose from 21 to .5 per milk premium ; Louis d'ora from par to d per milloprem. ; while bar silvor receded from 10 per millreprem. to 9 prem: ; sovereigns are a shade lower since the improvement in the exchange on London. Spanish dollars are in demand, but doubloons and Mexican dollars have receded.
