To-day being Good Friday, no business is going forward in the City. The more satisfactory appearance of the continental exchanges and the check which has apparently been given to the drain of gold, encourage a hope that some relief may soon be experienced, especially if the expected supplies of gold from Australia C3lllO forward promptly. On the other band, the com mercial engagements already contracted are evidently heavy, and must keep up a good demand for money. Yesterday great activity prevailed in the discount market, owing to the extraordinarily heavy repayments required at the Bank, and the market remains tight and without relief from the dividend'. The expectation of a very unfavourable Bank return on Saturday morning tended materially to check the improvement in the Stock Exchange. The repay ments now in progress, however, will of course add to the Bank's resources. Further parcels of newly arrived Australian gold, to the amount of 30,0001. or 40,000!., were yesterday sent into the Bank, the Continental demand allowing as yet no symptoms of revival. The Jura arrived at Southampton yesterday with about 86,000!. in Australian gold, including the remittance brought to Suez by the Simla. This supply will probably be in hand on Saturday. The Nimroud has arrived from Sydney, whence she sailed on the 7th Jan. ; but is not lcnown to have any gold on freight. In addition to the specie remittances already an nounced as on their way to this country front Aus tralia, we learn that the Ellenborough sailed from Sydney on the same day u the Nimroud, with 30,000 sovereigns. An arrival from China is announced, viz., the Abdul-Medjid, from Shanghai. The late improvement in the foreign exchanges is fully supported. To-day being Good Friday, the usual business in foreign bills of exchange was trans acted yesterday afternoon. The rates were in all eases firm, and as regards Hamburg and Frankfort a further improvement was established. The rates on Vienna and Trieste were also quoted higher. The current qquotations are subjoined, viz. : three months, 11.18, to 19; ditto, short, 11.151 to 161; Rotterdam, three months, 11.181 to 19; Antwerp, and 13rassele, three months, 2.5.46 to 60 ; Hamburg, three months, 13.8 i to f ; Paris, th ree months, 25.61 to 70 ; ditto, abort, 25.271 to 221 • Marseilles, throe months, 25.65 to 70 ; Frankfort-on-the-Maine, three months, 1191 to 1; Petersburg, three months, 37 to 1; Vienna, three months, 10.36 to 40 ; Trieste, three months, 10.36 to 40 ; Naples, three months, 421 to 431; Geste, three months, 25.70 to BO; Leghorn, three months, 29.40 to 3t' Palermo, three months, 1291 to 130 ; Messina, three month*, 1291 to ISO Oporto, three months. 62 to 1; Lisbon, three months, 511 to 62. It ls estimated that 350,000/. has been paid in du ties on tea at the reduced rate at the port of London during the present week. A considerable sum has also been pardon sugar and coffee. Adding the amounts similarly absorbed at other ports, we arrive at an aggregate the withdrawal of which is sufficient in itself to affect the money market. It has already been mentioned that the steamer Transit, for the Car, has put back in a very da maged state. Partses having correspondents at the Cape express a hope that her mails will be placed on board the fine steamship Himalaya, which is upon the point of departing for China. It seems difficult to understand why the authorities did not in the first instance select the latter vessel to convey the mails. If not too late, a notice to this effect might even now be issued. With reference to the Illinois Central Railroad Company, the circular of Mr. E. F. Sattcrthwaite remarks: 1 At tlyear ly general meeting of the Illinois Central Com pany, held at Chicago, on the 18th ult., the shareholders adopted the =graben et some of the most inli uentiid of the English end New York stockholders to raise the nominal 7pits! of the company actual coat of the work (ay 5,500,000 del..), instead of further eresionents upon the originel 170,000 to lane 86,000 additional shares, with 30 per cent. calla, to make them road to the others. The new issue to be placed at the dispet.id of the old stock holders, at par—one share for twe, or 50 new on every 100 original sharee. Instead of paying the 30 dole. by instal ments on the new 'lmre+, the stockholder will pay in full for such portion of his allotment as may be railed for by resolu tion of the directors. That it, a party entitled to 80 new shares will be celled upon to pay the full 30 dole. on 20 shares, Instead of 10 d..h. on the whole 60, and in like proportion until the whole allot ment is retired. The proceeds of the new lone will go, as further instalments upon the original iraue would have goes, to complete the work sod liquidate its unfunded indebted mac The practical effect will be that 256,000 share., at 30 dole., will represent the same expenditure ea 170,000 shares et 46 dole. slimming that further assessments of 16 dole. on the original kern would have bees I The new stock will be distributed to those who litirlei registered se stockholders on the books on some future day (to be determined by the directors) probably the 16th June, Jost soffkient time to make up the books for the opening on the let July. The intention of the directors ie that no cilia beyond the 30 per cent. paid will be made on the stock. The optional right holders on Freeland Bonds are, of course, not required to elect whether they take their pro rah: of the new stock until January next. They can, at any time between now and the let January, ISM, become actual shareholders, and then lave the same right to the new lune. The stock holders can elect to take one-third of their pro raki, or the whole, at their pleasure, on the Ist July. The remaining two-thirds to be taken up (end the 30 dole. paid on them) on the Ist January, 1888. It Is stated in New York by the directors that the proposed measure to thermal the stock of the Illinois Central origi nated with the English holders. No official action, as yet, bas been taken by the board, but there is no doubt that Elea been duly canvassed, and that the suggestion of the general meeting will be adopted, sd promulgated se a decree by the directors. TRUING/a EVENING. The stock markets opened with more firmness this morning, yet operators manifested much caution, pending the sitting of the weekly court at the Bank. The directors having separated at a somewhat early hour, without the announcement of any further alteration in the rate of discount, the markets at once assumed a buoyant appearance. The funds at one period attained a recovery of / per cent.; and although there was again some inclination to press sales towards the close, the latest quotations were still per cent. better than those of yesterday. In the railway share market a rally of to per cent. is shown ; and in the other departments of the Stock Exchange, as well as in mercantile circles, an im proved feeling was observable this afternoon. Consols, which closed yesterday at 92! to I for the 7th May, opened this morning at about 92/. ad vanced to 93/ to on the breaking up of the Bank court, and closed at 93 to 4. For money the last price was 921 to 1. The official business report is as follows:—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 921, 1 4 ; ditto, for account, 7th May, 93,921, 931, 931 . Three per Cents.

ROBBERT OF TIIEHOB ART TOWN COMMERCIAL BANG.—Advice§ from Tasmania Mate that cashier of the Commercial Bank bad been apprehended on a charge of enaberzling monera to the extent of some thousands of pound,.

The half-yearly meeting of this bank was held at the office of the Corporation, Swanstonetreet, Melbourne, on the 3rd of February; HENRY MILLER, Esq., M.L.C., chairman of the board of director" presiding. The following re po rt wu submitted : " In submitting their eighth half-yearly report, the board of ' management have again to congratulate the proprietors on the steady progress and continued success of the Bank of Victoria. According to the notice given in their lan report, the board have at this time to take the necessary steps to comply with the provinces of the set of incorporation and deed of settlement, viz., to Increase the plid.up capital stock of the company to the sum of 500,000!., retaining at the same time a reserve fund of not less than 30,000/. A call is there , fore now made of 101. per there, to be paid on or before the let day of March next ; this call will produce the sum of 200,000/., being theamount rembed, in addition to the 300,0001. dead) in hand, to increase the capital stock of the bank te the half million presided to be paid up in three years from the date of the Hank Incorporation Act coming into force, that la to say, the let day of March, 1854. In aid of ibis all a bonne is hereby proposed to be declared from the velem fund of St per share, which will yield the sum of 100,0001., leaving the proprietor to make good the balance at 40,000?., or 40s. per share only.

In a former report it wee mentioned that a con tract had been entered into for the erection of a banking home at Castleman. This new building was finished .In December last, when the bushier was removed from the temporary premises into it, The building has been executed in a - substantial and workmanlike manner, and will afford sufficient accommodation for the in neming business at Cmtlemaine for come time to come. The usual inspections of the branch banks have been made during the half-year, and favourable reports have been re mised from the inspecting efficient. There is, however, one exception to this statement at Warnambool, in the are of the Louse of William Batman, jun., and Co., against which then this bank has been compelled to take steps in the Insolvent Court, which have ended in the compulsory sequestration of the estate in quertion. The Board of Management have gone carefully through the liabilities of the insolvent firm to this bank, and have also examined and valued the eeetultles held as against those liabilities, and the board arc happy to report that they have arrived at the conclusion that in this matter very little, if any, ultimate pecuniary lose will be sustained. It was with much pleasure that the directors found themselves warranted, at the close of the half-year, in ordering the payment of the usual gratuity of 10 per cent. on the amount of their respective Palariee, to the tellers and clerks in the employ of this bank.
