The letters of allotment of the New Peruvian
Loan were sent out last evening. There were no
" letters of regret," a pro raid distribution having
been arranged. It is stated that subscribers will
receive leas than 50 per cent, of the amount applied
for.

No operations occurred in bullion at the Bank yes-
terday. Owing to the firmness of the exchanges,
there is at present no demand for gold for the Con-
tinent, but the recent remittances from Australia
and America may all be sent away in connexion
with the new loans. The amount of gold (about
400,0001.) to be despatched by the next West India
steamer, previously referred to, will, it is under-
stood, be supplied out of late arrivals, which have
been refined.

The Borussia, from New York, has brought
about 9,000/. in specie for England.
The mail steamer Tyne will take to-day only
7,0001. in specie (gold), for Brasil.

- - - Private telegrams received from Shanghae yes-
terday state that sickness prevailed amongst the
population there, and that some opium frauds bad
been discovered, in connexion with which the
banks would suffer. The exchange was quoted
6s. 20.
The Liverpool cotton market yesterday was firm.
The dividend of the Lancashire and Yorkshire
Railway Company was officially announced yeder-
day at the rste of 3 per cent, per annum, against

We are glad to be able to report a considerable
accession of strength to the board of the Universal
Marine Insurance Company. The additions are
Mr. John Fleming (of the firm of Smith, Fleming,
and Co.), Mr. Peter Bell (of the firm of Scott,
Bell, and Co.), and Mr. Wm. M'Kinnon (of the
firm of M`Kinnon, M`Kensie, and Co.)
The Caledonian Railway traffic return shows
this week an increase of 2021.

The annual meeting of the shareholders of the
Royal Insurance Company took place yesterday at
Liverpool, when the report, which was read and
adopted, disclosed the following highly satisfactory
results during the past year. The Fire Branch
showed a further surprising advance, the premiums
for the year 1861 having attained the sum of
292,4021., being an increase over the preceding year
of 29,4251. It also appeared that the total increase
of the last six years amounted to no less than
160,0001. The company's previously large Are
revenue has more than doubled in six years. The
expansion of the Life Branch during the last year
is equally great, for the sum assured on new poli-
cies alone amounted to 521,1011., exceeding by more
than 70,0001. the new insurances of the preceding
year, which was itself greatly in excess of any pre-
vious like period. An increase of 61,1071. was
carried to the Life funds last year, being about 70
per cent. of the premiums received.
The shares of the Canadian Native Oil Company
were allotted yesterday. Arrangements are being
made for immediately proceeding to business.
The following is from the monthly silk circular
of Messrs. Durant and Co., dated yesterday :

We have • quiet market in silk. Cheap moue, and the
ides of possible difficulty in supply from China bare pre-
vented anxiety to sell, and consequently any fall in prices,
but have not had the effect to induce soy desire to pur-
chairs es the part of oousumem either here or on the coati-
nent. The result of their meson's trade has been, we fear,
to say the least, unsatisfactory. In China silk the Maniac-
tions of the mouth have not been altogether unimportant,
but during the last fortnight they have been upon a small
scale. The arrivals have been rather large, and the deliveries
searosly up to average, hence a slight loam* is our stock.
Of Quito° silk the first ►rrival is just lauded, about 300
hales--at present nothing does. In Japan silk we have some
reduction of price, but this has failed to 'educe a eon.
responding Matisse of business. Bengal elk had °sly a
moderate share in the little that has been done. In halms
and French silk nothing of moment. Persian silk matinees
to come forward in comparatively large quantity, but the
larger portion, only to In delivered, having been sold for
arrival.

The Gazette specie statement for the week ending
Wednesday last gives the following totals, vit. :
Imports of gold, 86,8531. ; exports of gold,
432,8371. ; imports of silver, 81,9731. ; exports of
silver, 122,0811.

Flunky Evunra.

The demand for money today was brisker. Some
effect seems to have been produced on the market
by the indications presented in the Bank return.
Good bills were taken in many quarters at If per
cent., but some discounters demanded an advance.
In the Stock Exchange to-day there was • fait
demand for money at 14 per cent. for short loans on

The foreign stock: market showed increased heavi-
ness in the morning. Turkish securities were
particularly depressed, for reasons already re-
leered to. The scrip of the New Leas
was marked as low as prem. A derided
recovery took place, however, in the after-
noon, and the closing quotations of Turkish
securities were only a fraction below those of yes-
terday. The scrip of the Peruvian and Poetuguese
loans has fallen i per cent., and the Venezuelan I.
The principal feature in this department, however,
was the continued demand for the Egyptian Loss,
which has experienced a fresh rise of nearly 2 per
omit.

and in several instances, including more espemally
the new establishments, prices were lower. la
