THE PRESS.

paper this evening hints that the suspension would be
refused, but in case of necessity the Government
would be compelled to give way ; and it seems pro-
bable that such necessity is fast approaching. When
the experiment was tried in 1847, it was immediately
and largely beneficial. Money which had been
hoarded, returned to its usual channels, and the
relief to trade and the fall of discount were prompt
and decisive. The Bank of France contemplates, it
is believed, a suspension of cash payments, should the
pressure continue.

The advance in the Corn Market has been ss. per
quarter in the price of wheat during the week. This
advance will now be severely felt.
The advices from St. Petersburg (says a daily journal)
continue wholly devoid of any remarks beyond the sim-
plest commercial topics, with the exception of an occa-
sional assertion adroitly intended to create a belief that
the greater the disasters she sustains, the more distant
will be the probability of hussia seeking peace. The
amount of produce being sent forward to the frontier was
comparatively small, and the rate of exchange had dropped
to Mid., thus increasing the profit of smnggling gold out
of the country. The bad accounts of the grain crops in
the northern provinces are fully confirmed, and this new
element of embarassment is likely to prove important.

In Foreign Funds and Shares we have not no-
ticed any movement during the week calling for
special notice. Shares have, on the whole, been de-
pressed, and several of the leading lines are lower
than when we last wrote.
