combination of operations, are turning against us,
and may be expected to become still more unfavour-
able. The approaching resumption of specie pay-
ments by the National Bank of Austria is causing
the administration of that establishment to absorb

as much coin and bullion as it can obtain, and
Germany and France as well are feeling the effects.
In Germany many of the banks have, in order to
protect themselves, raised their rates of discount.
Then, the arrangements connected with the Lorn.
bardo-Venetian Railway and the New Turkish Loan
are such that it will probably be found profitable to
complete them by remitting gold from this country.
Indeed, the contractors for the Turkish Loan sent
150,000 sovereigns yesterday to Constantinople, and
they are preparing to forward 300,0(X) more. Mean-
while the bullion both in the Bank of England and the
Bank of France has as shown above undergone a dimi-
nution. In the face of circumstances such as these, and
the contingency of their being continued, how could it
be expected that the Directors would reduce' Yet
they are roundly abused, this very morning, by the
leading organ of the private banking interests, not
only for not reducing but for fixing a minimum at
all. Under all the circumstances we are decidedly
of opinion that the Bank is acting prudently for the
general interests, and most persons will be disposed
to applaud the firmness of the Directors in resisting
the ill-concealed dictation to which they have been
exposed during the last month.
The specie arrivals reported during the week have
amounted (including those by the West India mail,
reported this morning, and which are 184,9371.) to
406,427/. Of this sum 221,0001. have been sent into
the Bank. Large sums are expected from Russia in
the course of the next eight or ten days, and further
amounts from the United States. But on the other
band there will now be some exports to the Continent
in addition to the sums sent, and to be sent, to
Turkey. We rather expect that under these circum •
stances it will hardly be possible to maintain the
stock of gold in the Bank at its present large

aggregate.
The Funds have not maintained the highest prices
of the week, though they are now somewhat better
than those of last Friday. Railway Shares have not
very materially changed. Somewhat less business
has been done in Public Securities generally, and
hitherto the amount of re-investments of dividend
money has been comparatively small. This is owing
in a great measure to an opinion that, notwithstand-
ing the cheapness and abundance of money, public
stocks are at a high price.
Consols at one time stood at 984 to Z. This was
the highest price of the week, and it was made in the
course of the settlement which concluded on Wed-
nesday. Afterwards there was a gradual decline to
981 to 4, attributable in some respect to the charac-
ter of the Indian news, but more to sales influenced
by the considerations at which we have glanced
above. The operations of the Government broker,
who has been a moderate purchaser of stock, failed
to arrest this tendency. To-day the Indian news
was more favourably regarded, and the market WWI
firm ; but it afterwards gave way when it was known
that the exchanges were again lower, and that the
Bank Return would not be very good. The closing
price was 984 to 4.
In the Foreign Market there has been some
degree of firmness, particularly in the new Turkish
Scrip, both of the first and second issues. They
have both advanced to a considerable premium, and
are both firm, from the certainty that no further
issues will be made until a fixed period in 1859, at
a less price than 90.
Railway Shares have, on the whole, been firm,
and in some cases a decided advance has been estab-
lished. To-day they closed steady, but not at the
highest prices.
Banking, Mining, and
been quiet.
Atlantic Telegraph Shares are flat ; the closing
quotation to-day was 340 to 380. Those of the Red
Sea Company are steady at d to 3 premium, and
those of the Indian and Australian at to I
premium.
The Continentai Exchanges this afternoon were
generally against this country.
The abundance of money has told upon the value
of Exchequer Bills. Those of the March issue are
at 355. to 38s. premium, and those of June 275. to
30s. premium, being in each case an advance of
from Is. to 2s.

Shares have

The directors of the Unity Bank have made a
further call of W. per share, payable on the 4th of
December.
The Scinde Railway Company have paid to the
credit of the Secretary of State in Council for India
the sum of 108,3001. on account of the second issue
of capital.
The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation
Company have obtained the new Australian mail
contract. Its duration is seven years. The service
may now be expected to be effectually performed.
The allotment of the new shares in the Lombardo-
Venetian Railway was made on Tuesday, and they
have since advanced to a considerable premium.

The African Steamship Company have given notice
that their vessels will in future Fail from and return
iract to Liverpool. ceasing to call at Plymouth.
Goree and Monrovia are likewise to be omitted ; but
Cape Palma, Benin, Nun, are ports that will be
called at.

'the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada will pay no
dividend for the past half-year. But in a report
issued this day the directors announce the complete
success of the plan for the conversion of 500,0001.
consolidated stock into seven per cent. debentures,
and the opening of thirty-one miles additional line,
from London to Stratford, by which some important
points of Western Canada are connected with Toronto
and the East.

With very few exceptions the Provincial Trade
Reports of the week are favourable. The prin-
cipal exception comes from the Manchester spinners,
who, owing to the firm price of cotton in the Liver-
pool market, and to a reduced demand for yarns and
twist from most parts of Europe except Russia,
complain of the difficulty of effecting sales except
upon lower terms. The India and China letters,
however, are likely to restore animation to the most
profitable branches of the market. The manufac-
turers of goods are well occupied with orders, and
there are no complaints from them except the stand-
ing one of reduced profits. The woollen and worsted
trades are all active and remunerative, notwithstand-
ing the high price of the raw material, and the same
may be said of those in silk, flax, and other staples.
The Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Sheffield
trades are improving, large orders from the
United Stales having, in the course of this week,
added to a demand already stimulated by our own
domestic wants. As a necessary consequence, the
receipts of most of the railway companies, derived
from the conveyance of goods and merchandize, are
increasing week after week, though they are still
lower than those in the corresponding period of last
year; and the shipping interests are enlivened, after
a long period of depression, by a demand for freights.

VICOLL'S NEW REGISTERED PALETOT
11 has all those advantages which secured such general popu-
rarity to Messrs. Nicoll's original Paletot, that is to say, it avoids
giving to the wearer an outré appearance, so that professional
men son all others can use it during morning and afternoon in
or out of doors. Secondly, there is an absence of unnecessary
seams, well known to secure a more graceful outline, as well as
to effect a great saving in wear; the latter advantage is consi-
derably enhanced by the application of a peculiar and neatly-
stitched binding, the mode of effe .ting which is patented. Great
exertions are being made to supply Messrs. Nicoll's agents
throughout the country and the colonies with an assortment of
this new garment simultaneously with the display in London,
but it is necessary to inform the public that a 1 Messrs. Nicoll's
manufactures may be distinguished by a trade mark, consisting
of a silk label attached to each specimen ; to copy this is fraud,
and may be thus detected. If the garment is dark-coloured, the
label has a black ground, with the firm's name and address
woven by the Jacquard loom in gold-coloured silk ; if the gar-
ment is light-coloured, the label has a pale drab ground, and red
silk letters. Each Paletot is marked in plain figures , at a fixed
moderate price, and is of the best materials. In London the
NEW REGISTERED PALETOT can alone be had of 11. J.
and D. NICOLL, 114 116, 118, 120, Regent-street, and 24,
Cornhill.

A NEW DEPARTMENT FOR YOUTH, 140.
IT J. and D. NICOLL recommend for an Out-
4. side Coat the Havelock, and for ordinary use the Cape
Suit, such being well adapted for Young Gentlemen, as exhi-
biting considerable economy with general excellence. Gentlemen
at Eton, Harrow, Winchester, the Military and Naval Schools,
waited on by appointment. A great variety of materials adapted
for the Kilted or Highland Costume, as worn by the Royal
Princes, may be seen at
WARWICK HOUSE, 142 and It 4, Regent-street.

FOE LADIES.
VICOLL'S PATENT HIGHLAND CLOAK
is a combination of utility, elegance, and comfort. No
Lady having seen or used such in travelling for morning wear
or for covenng full dress would willingly be without one. It
somewhat resembles the old Spanish Roquelalre, and has an
elaattc Capuctue Hood. It is not cumbersome or heavy, and
measures from twelve to sixteen yards round the outer edge,
falling in graceful folds from the shoulders ; but by a mechanical
contrivance (such being a part of the Patent) the wearer can
Instantly form semi.eleeves, and thus leave the arms at liberty
at the same time the Cloak can be made as quickly to resume
its
original shape. The materials chiefly used are the soft neutral-
coloured shower-proof Woollen Cloths manufactured by this firm.
The price will be two guineas and a half for each Cloak; but
with the Wehanique and a lined Hood a few shillings more is
merged. This department is attended to by Cutters, who pre.
pare Mantles of all kinds, with Velvet, Fur, or Cloth Jackets,
either for in or out door use. These at all times—like this
l'inn's Riding Habit—are in good taste and fit well. Female
attendants may also be seen for Pantalons des Dames b. Choral,
partially oompo,.ed of Chamois. As no measure is required, the
fsatent Highland Cloak can be sent at once to any part of the
Country and is thus well adapted for a gift.
