The exportation of gold on this account will therefore bo chested, while the imports from Australia, California, and New &O land continue on an important scale. The expecta tion of an easier money market ere long is coita -1 quently entertained iu most quartets. At the same time, political affairs present a mere fa vourable aspect. An instalment of 15 per cent. falls due to day (Tuesday) on the Confederate Loan, less the half-yearly dividend of 31 per cent. This will make 75 per cent paid, and will leave a final linstalment of 15 per cent. to be met on the Ist of October. An instalment of 15 per oast. is also payable to-day on the Italian Irrigation Com pany's Loan. Advioes from Madrid state that the meeting of the Cortes is fixed for the 4th November. The change which has taken place in the Ministry of Finance is favourably looked upon in Madrid. The new minister, Moreno Lopez, is said to be liberal and capable. About 55,0001. in gold was purchased bythe Bank yesterday. The Oneida has reached Southampton front Brazil with 42,6141. in specie. The Stock Exchange will be closed on Saturday next, the sth of September, so as to allow the cleansing process which is now going on in the establishment to be effectually carried out. The first section of the French council of state have already approved of the statutes of the " Socidtti Generale pour favoriser le developpemeut du Commerce et de l'lo dustrie," or society for aiding the develop ment of commerce and industry, and it only re mains to be approved by the general body of the council ; this, as a matter of course, follows ea the decision already of the department of commerce, and on the re-assembling of the council the matter will be one of the earliest brought forward. As this company is to be iu direct concert with the General I Credit and Finance Company of Loudon, and will be largely subscribed to by the latter, it is invested with a substantial English interest. The promoters of the undertaking are, besides, gentlemen of the highest standing in France, including amongst others iM. Davilliers president of the Chamber of Com merce ; M. Pittard, director of the Comptoir ' d'Escompte ; M. Schneider, vice-president of the Corps Legislatif ; M. Talithot, director of the Mediterranean Railway • M.

The primary object of the company is the encouragement of the commerce and industry of France, to which all the means and appliances of the local board and its London agency (the General Credit Company) will be directed. The brilliant results of the harvest have already nearly stopped the chartering of vessels from the Baltic, and the rates are down to u low as 2a. 6d. to 3s. per quarter, while from SL Petersburg the rate is down to la. 64.1. per quarter, and even leer.
