The Bank has purchased between 20,0001. tend 30,0001. bullion ; but all the rest that was upon the market has been cleared for the Continent.

According to the official return published in the Gazette this evening, the imports of gold and silver in the week ending Wednesday last, the 28th inst., amounted to 212,5251., and the exports to 488,2951. The Continental Exchanges are, upon the whole, about the same as last week. The American Exchanges are be coming favourable for the transmission of bullion to this =Wry, Consols, which closed last Friday at 981 to 97, gradually improved, until on Wednesday they were quoted at 971 to 1, ani this price they maintained until yesterday morning. The diuppointratnt at the maintenance of the existing rate of discount by the Bank, added to the fact of the Credit Bobilier paying no dividend, caused a series of speculative sales to realize profits, and the reaction pro duced a decline to 971 to 1. This morning the opening (lactation was 971 to ; and they left off at 97$ exactly. Railway Shares are about two per cent. better than this day week, end the disposition of the market to-day has, on the whole, been favourable to holders of stock. The traffics are improving, though they still compare badly with those of last year. Foreign Securities have partaken in the generally up ward movement; and Banking and Miscellaneous Stooks are firm. Large dealings have taken place in the Indian loan. The Debentrres were yesterday dealt in at 1001, and the Script at 1001. These are the highest prices yet attained by these securities.
