The following appeared in our later editions
of Saturday :

The traffic returns of the railways in the United
Kingdom, for the week ending Nov. 10th, exceeded by
£32,270 the corresponding week of last year.
The Times says that yesterday the railway market

improved at the opening, but afterwards relapked,_and

Mere cOldenee shown in financial circles, par-
the afternoon. The arrival of £570,000 in
geld from Australia, although instantly taken for the
Bank of France, has prevented any further withdrawals
from the Bank of England. It appears from the
accounts from Paris that although the pressure for gold
upon the Bank of France continues, the council of that
establishment have decided not to raise the rate of dis-
count further than at present. The Rinds have accord-
ingly risen * per cent., and closed tith a strong appear-
ance. British railway stocks exhibit a general recovery,
bona fide holders havinc, refrained from selling. The
most remarkable rally, however,b was in the stock of the
Grand_
_Trunk Railway of Canada which rose about 3
per cent. All the markets 'Closed A the best point of
the day, and a kith& TraProVement occurred in several
instances atter the close of the stock exchange. The
discoat market presented an anxious and unsettled
appearance. No business appears to have been, done
below the -Bank minimum, and in many quarters 6
per cent. was the lowest rate. Three months' paper
could not be negotiated below 7 per centy *Mitt on six
months' 8 per cent. was asked, AdoonamOdation Was
not freely granted even to regular customers. The
amount of business at th:e though not amounting
to a pressure, abas large. In the stook exchange the

There has been specie, arrivals ta-day. Australia

shop time to meet the wants of the buyers on behalf of
the Ilank.of Fratiee. No further withdrawals having
taken pinua from London, the stock market is compara-
tively firm, and in all departments of business there is
an absence of distrust and exeitement. The advices
from Paris state that the Bank of France do not intend,
at all events for the present, to make any, farther advance
in their rate of discount. As the inn for gold still .con-
tinues to be very. active, it Mast, therefore, be inferred
that they will cdttinne their system of obtaining supplies
from this side. This contingency, however, need excite
no uneasiness. The Bank of France cannot obtain more
from us than we owe. Their present plan consists in
buying up all the bills upon London that have been
lying in the portfolios. The Paris bankers wait
maturity, and by suddenly causing the whole to be
transmitted hither for discount, a great Mini can be
raised. OWing to the advance in Our rates, a French
merchant can get his bills discounted in gold at the
Bank, of France for 4 per centi andhean eiltplq the '
amount at 6 per. Cent. by Sending it to.hi:s eintesponding
company in London, if he Is sufficiently acute to do so.

the Ceittlitent. After the first difficulty, therefore, the
entire affair adjusts itself by a natural and infallible
process. At the same time, the limitation of orders for
foreign produce, and the postponement of investments,
operate to reduce our commitments in every quarter,
and the ground work is laid of a general reaction. Under
these circumstances, all persons can fully estimate future
possibilities, and free themselves from vague apprehen-
sions. The effect of the clear view taken by the public
of the monetary events' of the weak has been satisfac-
torily exemplified in the Stock Exchange, where consols
have experienced a rebound of .1 per cent.; which has
almost brought them back to the highest prices previotisly
current. The demand for discernit at the tank *as

The last pried front NHS this evening was 69f. 95c.,
showing a recovery of more than I, per cent. In the
foreign exchanges this afternoon the rise in the rate of
discount caused bills to be less in demand. A general
advance took place, especially as regards Paris and
Hamburg. The silver market was fiat at a decline of
