Applications for Boxes,diti. to be made at the Box-office at the Theatre. all the bullion that has come in, and inasmuch as there is no external demand it will continue to do so. According to the Gazette returns of last evening 'the imports up to Wednesday were, of gold, 1,343,7681., and of silver, 223,3074 making a total of 1,507,135/. ; while the exports were, of gold, 19,8831., and of silver, 294,3231., or an aggregate of 314,2061., thus leaving a balance in the country of 1,252,9291. This is only 64,6971. more than the purchases made by the Bank, as given in the weekly return. A semi-official announcement of a loan for India has appeared during the week. No particulars are stated explicitly, but the amount required seems likely to bo about 7,000,0001., and the mind of the City has been calmed a little by an explanatory assurance that the greater part of the amount will be expended at home. Consols have improved since our last, mainly from the banks having repurchased large amounts of stock which they had parted with during the late crisis. Last Friday they left off at 941 to 1. Yes terday they were done as high as 05 without the dividend, this quotation being due to the anticipa tions of a reduction in the Bank rate. The death of General Havelock and the defeat of General Wind ham, though deeply regretted, were both neutralised, as far as concerned their effect upon securities, by the victory of Sir Colin Campbell, and by the easy state of the Money Market. After the lowering of the rate there was a reaction to 941 to I, and this was the final quotation for money, that for the account of the 4th of February being 95 exactly. To-day there was a good deal of fluctuation, but in the end an advance was established, the closing price for account being 951 to 1.. Fo - reign - Securities have generally been very firm, but the highest prices of the week have not in all cases been maintained. Joint-stock Banking Shares are generally a little higher, but the chief improvement has been in those connected with Australia. Exchequer Bills have advanced to a prsmium of from Bs. to lls. Investments continue to be made in these securities, and a further rise in them is probable. Trade remains depressed in all branches, but the feeling is a little more hopeful, particularly in some of the manufacturing districts. The silk trade is in a most deplorable position, as far as the operatives are concerned. BRITISH FUNDS.— Closing Prlool. ,OFFICIAL QUOTATI ,Mosul.

METROPOLITAN MARKETS.-FILIDAY. Coax EXCRANOIL—The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, was limited; consequently, the show of samples small. For most kinds we bad a steady but by no means active demand, and Monday's advance in the quotations was well sunported. Nearly lilt* ouarters of foreign wheat base come fresh to hand this week. Good heavy ample* ruled steady, at full prices, but inferior qualities were neglected. There was • fair demand for both barley and malt, and prices were well supported. The show of oats was limited. Most kinds were in request, and the turn dearer. In beans and peas very little was passing, on former terms. We bad a fair demand for dour, and Norfolk qualities were rather higher than on Monday. CATTLZ Mas[ar.—Although the supply of beasts to-day was only moderate, the demand for all breeds ruled very inactive. The show of sheep was rather limited; nevertheless, the trans actions in them were comparatively small, at late rates. We had a dull inquiry for salves at Gd per albs less money. The top quotation was 54 per Alta. Pigs and mulch cows were very dull . Bogooos Floe kL•az ZT.—There is st ill a fair, but by no mesas active demand for good coloury hops of last year's growth at about late rates. All other kinds move off slowly, and prices are barely supported. XARRL&GES. HOBHOUSE—BRODRICK—On the let instant, at Wells, the Rev. Edmund Hobbouse, son of the late Right Hon.
