The anticipated withdrawal of £1,000,000 (chiefly in Russian Imperials) fortransmission to St. Peters burg, took place yesterday at the bullion office of the Bank. An active demand prevails in all discount quar ters. In the open market the brokers refuse bills under 21 per cent., and in some instances advances have been made on the understanding that the rate is to be fixed on Thursday next, when it is expected that the official minimum will be raised 1 per cent. The upward movement should be re garded with much favour, as it is a positive indica tion of stimulated enterprise ; if caused by legiti nlate investment and expansion of a trade, a steady rise to 5 per cent. will be satisfactory to the com munity at large. At the half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the Chartered Mercantile Bank of India, London, arid China, held to-day, Mr. George G. Nicol in the chair, the directors' report and statement of accounts were adopted. The chairman said he ho ped the - whole of the bad debts of 1865-66 would finally extinguished by the end of the present Year. I ° the matter of the Atlantic and Great Western Rail way,,_ Company, which has been before Vice- Chancellor Giffard, all parties having consented to Withdraw the various pending suits, a decree was granted sanctioning the carrying out of the pro tho3als of th e new di rec t ors f or a reorgan i sa ti on o f b e at c ompany's affairs, and the receiver for the de , e ,uce trust in England was duly authorised to 'aKe the n ecessary steps f or t h e i mme di ate remova l or the receiver at present in control of the property in America. _ The D epartment of Agr i ca l ture i n t h e U n it e d States has issued its report of the crops of the pre sent year up to the close of the past month. From this it appears that the full promise of the early summer has not been realized in the wheat har leet. The i n c rease o f area over th a t of last year in its effect upon aggregate production is nearly neu tralized by a small diminution in some of the prin cipal wheat-growing States in yield per acre, so that the increase in total quantity is scarcely more than 3 per cent., and this has been obtained mainly from the Pacific coast, California, showing au in crease of 25 per cent. The amount of old wheat on baud is rather less than usual throughout the coun trY, with the exception of the cotton States, whiel, with the exception of Texas, have a higher average th an last year.

GREAT SCULLERS RACE BETWEEN HENRY KELLEY AND JAMES RENFORTH FOR £4OO. The following appeared In our Latest Edition of yeatertay craning:— The contest for the championship of the Thames is, under any circumstances, a feature of great in terest and speculation in the sporting world, and its interest was materially enhanced on this occa sion by the peculiar circumstances attending it. The last champion from the Tyne was the de ceased Bob Chambers ; the present aspirant to the proud distinction is James Renforth of Gateshead, of the same calling as Chambers, viz., a puddler in an iron-foundry, but otherwise there is nothing to make 'them assimilate, on the contrary, there is this marked distinction : Robert Chambers had, by a series of brilliant victories, climbel the ladder .of aquatic fame before he was backed for the cham pionship, while Renforth has literally suddenly rushed into notoriety. The former gained his posi tion by degrees, and by many a hard-earned victory. The latter, should he win, may fairly be said to have acquired it in one race, for two years ago the name of Renforth was unknown in aquatic circles, neither north nor south. Until the Thames Regatta of this year he was an obscure iulividual ; the, Chronicle tells us of two or three wagers in his native place for insigni ficant sums ; but it was destined that in the Thames Rtgatta he should emerge from obscurity and be come the leading star of the Northern division. the sporting men of that part of the world are pretty good judges of what to back, and his amazing speed in his triumph at the regatta aforesaid stamped him as a man whose pretensions fairly entitled him to the appellation which had been in some quarters bestowed upon him as " the coming man." Of Henry Kelley, the resident champion, Renforth's opponent of to-day, it certainly is not necessary to say much ; he gained the much coveted honour of champion from James Messenger in 1857, lost it in 1859 to Robert Cham bers, of Newcastle, and some years after regained it from the same oarsman, and has since been en gaged in a physical and legal contest against Joe Sadler, of Putney, to maintain it; and when the Northerners expressed their desire to put up Ren forth for the seat of honour, the Southerners were not wanting, and willingly backed Kelley to get in before him. Both trained hard, and inspired full confidence in their friends and admirers. The course was from the Star and Garter at Put ney to Mortlake, and the stake £2OO a-side. _ The weather was as fine as could be expected for this bleak time of year ; there were eight steamers besides tugs and rather less than usual of the small fry. Mr. John Ireland, of the Loudon Rowing Club, was sole umpire and starter, and the stringent orders issued from Scotland-yard under a recent act of Parliament, kept the steamboat captains in order, and gave both men a fair chance. On shore and on the boats the betting fluctuated considerably, but at the start Kelley was slightly the favourite, and as they rowed at three o'clock from their boat yards the burst of applause that greeted them must have seemed ill-timed to some of the denizens of Putney, who are generally so quiet at this time of the year. The toss for choice of sides was won by Ren forth, who took the inside or Middlesex berth. Both stripped to their buff, and after one false start they got away together, Kelley having a momen tary lead. Of this he was dispossessed at the Duke's Head, and then Renforth, amid the plaudits of his countrymen, rushed to the front at a tremendous pace. At the Point he was a length in front, and shortly after crossed his man ; towards the Soap -works Kelley drew up slightly and again after they passed Hammersmith Bridge ; but it was evident thus early that the North-countryman had the race in hand ; he con tinued to get away, and although Kelley drew up at Barnes, Renforth ultimately won by three lengths clear. Time, 23 min. 15 secs. MARKE7 S-2 HIS DAY. MARK-LANE. Fresh up to Mark-lane this morning the receipts of wheat from Essex and Kent were limited. For both red and white parcels the demand ruled heavy, at Monday's reduction in value. There was a good supply of foreign wheat on the stands. In all des riptions sales progressed slowly at about late rates. Floating cargoes of wheat were quiet. Maiz) and other articles affoat were firm in value. Moderate supplies of barley we.te on sale. Very little business was passing in any description at the late de cline. Malt sold slowly, but at full rates. Oats changed hands quietly at barely previous quota tions. TALLOW. The market is firm. Town tallow, 51s 3d; Petersburg; Y.C. on the spot, 52s ; December, 52s ; January, 52s 6d March, 535. _ Yesterday the appeal in the St. Albans ritual case, "Martin v. Mackonochie," came before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. Mr. A. J. Stephens, Q. 0., opened the case for Mr. Martin, and had not con cluded when the court adjourned. The case will occupy several days. RAILWAYS.—PREFERENCE SHARES AND STOCKS. With Dividends contingent on the Profits of each separate year. SHARE LIST. BAN )I{OI:\TARI att.:Lab Ak4D STOCKS.

Dr. Miller, who early recorded his vote for the two Liberal candidates), intimated his intention, before the day of nomination, of forbidding the parish church bells to be rung in celebration of the triumph of either party. On the day of nomination they were rung according to custom, but he refused to allow the bells to bo used for celebrating a triumph of ono party of his parishioners over the other, as he frhought such a use of them unseemly and irritating. THE TRANSIT OF MERCURY.—The Rev. Charles B. Gribble, Chaplain to the English Embassy at Constantinople, writes that the transit of Mercury was well seen there on the morning of Thursday, the sth in stant. The weather was very fine ; a slight haze hung before the sun soon after its rising. At 7.20 a.m., or 4d. 19h. 26in., the dark body of the planet was clearly visible ; its movement was gradual but perceptible until it neared the sun's limb, when its motion seemed more rapid. Its disappearing from its first contact with the limb until it was lost to view occupied about thirty seconds. Its disappearance was complete at 10h. 48m. Bs. a.m. THE AMERICAN HAY QUESTION.-At the meeting of the council of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, on Thursday, it was decided to memorialise the Chancellor of the Exchequer to remove the restrictions uponthe impor tation of American hay. _ _ The auction sale of S.

A stump-puller was taken by Agent Hill, of Thorndike; and other farming tools wore bought by various parties at fair prices. The "Brown fattening pasture" of 50 acres sold flr $2O per acre Rev.

Till recently very little has been known of the climate and resources of the northern shores of the Pacific ; but the report on the investigations of the United States Coast Survey furnished to the No vember number of ‘, Lippincott's Magazine" has thrown new light on the subject. Their instruc tions were to observe and study the law of the tides, to observe and collect information of the ocean currents, and discuss their influence upon the climate and vegetable productions of the coun try, and their bearing upon the important question of the ocean steamship routes between San Fran cisco and Japan and China ; to search for fishing banks ; to collect statistics of the furs and mine rals, and of the inhabitants and their prospective relations to the new order of rule and trade. The fishermen of cod have hitherto been compelled to resort to Francisco for their stores, but now Alaska enables them to fish in its bays when stormy weather drives them from off the open cod banks. Instead of making the long trip to and from San Francisco, and of keeping the imperfectly cleaned fish for a long time in salt, now it will be cured at stations and depots, where the fish may be col lected and conveyed to Asia and Australia. The number of American fishing vessels em ployed among the Shumagin Islands, off the South east shores of the peninsula of Alaska in 1867 was 27, the average catch nearly 100 tons, the average cost of outfit and labour $3,000 in gold, the average value of the codfish nine and a half cents per pound iu coin. The suiiply Loin the Alaska banks, it is stated, has already closed th,; i , nportation of cod fish from New England ports into C.ilifornia. The eastern part of Bchring S.:a is fall of cid, au I Vie area within the limits of 50 fathoms of water is no less than 18,000 square miles. The banks along the shores of Alaska bordering the Gulf of Alaska and south of the Aleutian Islands will add, it is stated, not less than 45,000 square miles, and thus the fishermen will have a surface of 63,000 square miles, with an average depth not greater than 50 fathoms over which to ply their vocation. The Gulf of Alaska has always been renowned for whale. The waters of the Archipelago Alexander abound in this fish. In June and July every bay, harbour, and strait is covered with the " whale's food." This mollusk is carried by the currents along the shores of Alaska Gulf, and collects under the lee of the Pamplona Reef, at the very height of the fishing season. This field is very rich, and it is suggested that whaling can be more profitably and effectively carried on here, by means of small vessels especially constructed for the purpose, and then by storing the oil at a depot, to be shipped thence to the large markets. The United States Coast Survey, fol lowing the traces of lignite and water-born speci mens of coal which were to be found in the St. John Valley, arrived at the conclusion, from well known geological indications, that abundance of coal would be discovered in that part of Alaska ; and after the departure of the corps news was received by telegraph that the bed of coal pointed out by the geologist of the expedition had been opened, and the substance, when tried on the war steamer Saranac, pronounced to be anthracite. The Japan warm ocean current has an important influence upon the climate, and consequently upon the habitability of Alaska, this stream, which is much more marked in its effect than the Gulf Stream iu the Atlantic Ocean, being of greater volume, greater velocity, and of higher temperature. The main body of this Pacific current runs from the coast of Niphon, in 35 degrees latitude, 3,300 nautical miles, to latitude 48 degrees, and longitude 148 degrees east from Greenwich, where it is within 900 miles of the American coast. At this point it divides, the larger branch striking Van couver's Island, and thence running along the shores of Washington Territory, Oregon, and Ca lifornia ; the smaller branch continuing to th coast of the Alexander Archipelago, and thence running along the shores of Alaska. This immense volume of warm water (the temperature of the surface in latitude 57 degrees being from 50 to 52 degrees in September), exhibits its effects upon the climate of Alaska, especially in the, vegetation. The condensation of the warm, vapour-laden air by the colder and drier air of the continent, produces heavy rains ; hence the enormous and rapid growth of the trees, the luxuriant grasses, plants, and mosses. The difference in temperature between the wet and dry bulb thermometers is very small, indicating slow evaporation, and ice cannot be formed clear and solid enough to be taken to San Francisco. On the Pacific coast large trees are to be found seven degrees farther north than on the eastern side, and gay flowers and rare and beauti ful plants give the shores of Cape Lisburne, in latitude of 59 degrees, the appearance of a garden.

The Price of Gold. ^ The quotaliin of gold at Paris is about at par, and t le short exchange on London is 2M. 171.1. per £1 sterling, Un cJeiparing these rates with the English Hint price of .£1 iis. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears tlisc gold is about the same price in London and Paris. The course of exchange at Near York on London for bill at 60 days' sight was on the last date about 1 9k percent. At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold from the Uni , cd `tales. - - - The iron four-masted North German ship Pal merston, Captain Kolln, from Hamburg, with a general cargo and 437 emigrants, men, women, and children, for Now York, was towed into Plymouth Sound last Sunday morning by the steamtug Secret. After being out six weeks the Palmerston sprung a leak 300 miles west of Scilly, and last night dropped anchor near the Eddystone. For six days she has been in jeopardy, th e passengers, both men and women, being compelled to take their turn at the pumps. Twenty-five men are gone off to their relief, and to-morrow she will be placed in the Great Western Docks. The Palmerston registers above 1,800 tons, draws 11 feet, and was origivaby a steamer under the Spanish gag. ~~iy
