Sons attention kw been directed during the het few days to the renewal (A the flow of gold num Loll4oll — and, what la .---- :-1—.. 141,1 "on , the Bank of E. 4 o.agl—to Freon. It need not be repeated here that for gold to pass through this eountry to the Continent is quite in the natural course of things. This is the greatest bullion market and banking-house in the world. To it converge a large number of ocean steam lines, forming the most perfect system of communication ever known. Through our medium a vast number of balances due bet;seti distant places arestruck and liquidated. For example, it is through Eng land that America pays India for her indigo, and China for her tea and silk. Again, the treasures of our rich colony. Australia, are distilled through the mother country before they are spread over the surface of the earth, to fertilise it and to stimulate both production and consumption. The same is the ones in no small degree with the golden produce el California. Occanonally, when the general balance of trade is in favour of Ezsgbind, and the exchanges amend to a high level, we retain the whole of the gold imported. This state of things produces a rapid accumulation of gold in the Bank, and an easy money market. Why money should be abundant under such circum stances it is very may to understand, since for every million of gold that puma into the " Issue Depart. meat " of the Beak of England, a million of Reid( noted aro created, forming an absolute addi tion to the amount of the circulating medium._ It was only • few weeks back that nearly half a million of gold arrived from Australia in a single bottom. Two or three days saw it consigned to the bands of the Bank of England, our great bullion depot, which takes custody of the gull, and issues warrants against it. This half million of notes or gold-warrants immedi ately entered into competition with the rest of the money in existent*, seeking employment, and tend ing to cheapen the rates of interest. When gold leaves the Beak, as it is doing now, a precisely contrary effect is produced. On Thursday last, for instance, 130,0001. in gold was taken from that estabbihment for despatch to the Continent, and on Saturday a further sum of 110,0001. As a matter of course we have in some form the full equivalent of this MIS of treasure, it matters not whether in French goods, in public securities, in grain, cotton, silk, or any other of the num,- raw articles from all parts of the world, the settl► runt for which is embraced in the astonishingly wide scope of the exchanges. But what is most interesting to remark at the moment is, that u this treasure left London there was an extinction of currency to precisely the same amount. There are now 240,0001. lees of Bank of England notes in existence than before the operation was effected. Leas money being in existence, it is natural the the remainder should command • somewhat better price or rate of interest. Considering the meg. nitudu of our present stock of gold, end also the damn' of trade, which tends to built the erettion of mercantile paper requiring discount, it will, of course, bo some time before the efflux of gold —or, in other words, the extine tion of currency—will exercise any material effect upon the money market, where the surplus ap pears still to be very large. But it needs se prophet to foretell that a continuance of the per aces„ oven at the moderate rate experienced during the past week, would ultimately, in the very nature of things, enable capitalists and holders of money to get a better price for it. It was of course known that we could not go on accumulating gold for ever, since the mere fact of the rate of interest falling gradually to a point below that current in most of the markets of the Continent would cause houses possessing foreign connexions to endeavour to avail themselves of the more remunerative rates obtainable abroad. Am oordingly, in proportion as the value of mosey here fell, the exchanges gradually went to • lower level. They are now at rates at which, though there may not yet be any profit worth mentioning on the exportation of gold as • mere exchange operation, bullion is nevertheless a more advan tageous moditun of remittance than bills. That it is tho more advantageous medium is proved by the very fact that it goes. People don't send gold to Paris to make a loss upon it, or for the pleasure of the operation. Towards the latter end of Decem ber the London "short " exchange on Paris was quoted 25.271 to 25.32 i, and all the gold im ported remained here. Last Friday's lists quote the exchange 25.121 to 25.171, and gold goes out. Some reports put itas low as 25.10 to 25.15. The decline is quite sufficient to account for lie move ment now witnessed, without any of the special explanations attempted by a contemporary who has been characteristically unfortunate in his selection of a date for a reduction of the Bank rate of dim count to 2 per tent. Neither political considera tions nor M. Fould's Budget have had anything to do with Use decline which has been going on in the exchanges during the last two meal's, and which has arisen partly from the relatively lower value of money in this country, as compared with that current abroad, ash partly from the fact that trade balsams have sewed fu favour of the foreigner. Them has bars irelia hitherto of any of those exceptional paper ope ration., by means of which French daaaaisio, THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVG, FEBRUARY• 3, when hard premed at home, are fond of attract ing a temporary supply of money to their relief from this country. It is true that, *Mord* to a Gazette return published a few days age, we sent to Franca in the course of the year 1861 es much as 8,903,1721. in goods and commodities of various kinds, against 5,249,9801. in 1860, showing an excess of 3,653,1921., of which 953,1711. seems to have arisen on corn alone. But our trade with France has not been one-sided. If, under the new Treaty, she has taken an increased amount of our goods, we have helped to adjust the •balance by increasing our imports of hers, as any one may see for himself by merely walking along the tho roughfares of the metropolis and noticing the vast variety of articles which, from their elegance of design and delicacy of finish, claim a French origin. The Owette has somewhat eagerly antici pated the lagging monthly Board of Trade returns, by telling us what the year's exports to France have been, but it does not say what the imports from France have been, so that the means of com parison are wanting. After all, the exchanges are the best barometer. The great advance which bank share property has latterly made in public estimation does not seem to have met with the attention it deserves. Our banks perform so influential a part in the e 130110111 ), of COVIEIOIOII that it is very important they should be confided in and recognised as worthy of implicit trust. A gratifying proof of public confidence has been afforded daring the last few months in a constant and very eager demand on the part of investors for the shares in all the more important establishments, particularly the metropolitan, properly so called. The demand has been uniformly in exams of the supply, and the rise in the market value of this kind of pro perty has been far greater than most persons imagine. Below we give a comparative statement of the prices of the shares in some of the principal banks now and at this date bet year : 11 Isms. Psil Prim at *la 91 , 04499 dm. P m " piss. Awe. i... ~..

All the others have risen, and in the cm of most of the establishments which confine themselves strictly to English banking busmen the difference is very great. The London and County, London Joint Nock, and Union Bank of London, ell exhibit a eonsiderable advance, but the rine in City Bank shares la no lees than 151., and in London and Westminster 131. The most rapid movement of all, however, has been in those of the Bank of London, which stand now at 75 to 77, against 51 to 53 last year, being a difference of no less than 241. a share. The slam paid per share in this Wiliam being 501., it may be said that, in point of market vans, the Bank of London is esteemed to be better than it waist this time last year by a sum equal to one-half of the paid-up capital. The rise represents nearly 150,0001. London and Westminster Bank Shares are now at a premium of 551. on 201. paid ; London and County at a premium of 221. on 201. paid ; London Joint Stock at a premium of 26/. on 101. paid, and City Bank at a premium of 351. on 501. paid. These facts testify surely enough to the exceed ingly profitable character of the very useful funo tions discharged by the London joint-stock banks. All the existing establishments have long ago passed the point at which there were real difficulties and dangers to contend against. Their position and business are now recognised and established; their con nexions grow even faster than does the trade of the country, with which they are indissolubly bound up ; and they have a wide and assured field of success before them. The high position accorded within the last two year. to the Bank of London, the youngest of the banks in operation, is perhaps the moat significant fact of all. We cannot won der that :new competitors seek to enter so pro- ' seising a field. Indeed, were not the public alive to the wide difference between merely forming • bank and acquiring a large and paying business (which canuot be attained without great time and pains), there would almost be room to apprehend a bank mania.

LATICBT INTELLIGENCS. MEXICO.

It is further stated' that General lingua, as well as many other of ' Juarez' generals, and the great majority of the population, are pacifically disposed.

There is, I believe, little doubt that the two new members of the French Academy will be the Prince de Broglie and M. Octave Feuiilet. Many people think that one De Broglie in the Academy is enough—the duke, the prince's father, is there already—nevertheless, the influence of this family defies competition.

Hitherto that power has not taken rank as a dogma, but the court of Rome probably thinks it should now do so.

HPe satirical pencil continued as the but to give the journal its high position, and the loss of this able co-operator will be severely felt.

The house has been crowded to •10411111 since the 'lwamoto was produced. A letter from Naples, of the 28th ult., says : " Vesuvius still performs, though not as brilliantly as heretofore.

An English gentleman lately losthis opera glass. He applied to the police, was shown it in their sate keeping, and asked to pay just twice the price of a new one. An artist lost some miniatures, and also some 70 or 80 scudi (crowns) in money. The miniatures were restored to him, being quite destroyed by wet ; but the , money, though found withthem, could by no means be given up. " Could he pretend to identify scudi fn heavier crimes the matter is worse, for bribery of the official can effect anything. As the old song says, " The church has remission while you have pistols' ;" but without pistols' there is no hope. A man murdered his young wife in the cruellest way, having taken a " capriccio " for another woman. He was condemned to death, but his family subscribing the small sum of 150 solidi, he was saved. Another poor peasant near Tivoli only threw stones at a neighbour and a neighbour's pigs tree • an his field, and be was condemned hope -1 yto the galleys for six years. Of the frightful misappropriations of the funds of the public hos pitals, the rates raised for roads, &a., I will speak in my next letter. 0110 x ♦ COI ROME, Ja.x. 28. The following is the circular issued for the con. vocation of the great meeting of bishops at Whit suntide.

It is certainly a popular delusion of the Miele, mind which persists in considering the Italians as a hot-blooded and impulsive race. On the contrary, there is no nation on earth (certainly none of Anglo- Saxon lineage) which would submit fora week to the curb and whip of such tyrants as they have known, and yet continue to display the same calm ness and caution in the expression of resentment. Assuming (as I suppose is only right) that this self-restraint is the result of true wisdom, and that it covers a stern resolution to attain freedom the moment it becomes humanly attainable, it is yet an astonishing sight.
