The Coi

statement of the shipments
West from London during last week includes
110,675 one. and 10,0001. in gold, and 2,946 oz. of
silver, representing a total value of about 91,0001.
Those supplies were despatched chiefly to Hamburg
aid Belgium. The particulars are subjoined, viz. :
gold : to Belgium, 275 ors. Gold coin : to Hamburg,
8,500 on.; to Belgium, 2,100 ort.; to Tonning,
10,0001. Gold bars : to Hamburg, 7,800 on.; to
Belgium, 2 000 ore.

The only other shipment officially reported com-
prises 49,2961. in gold by the Avon for Rio Janeiro,
by which the asoertained shipments are raised to
about 141,0001. It is known, however, that the chiet
efflux has consisted of the private remittances of gold
to the continent, which have comprised the whole of
the available imports, and further considerable
amounts drawn from the Bask of England.
The monthly return of the Bank of France, as made
up to Thursday last, exhibits the following import•
ant results (exchange taken at 25f. to the pound):
' Coin and bunion £11.645 800 decrease £2.006,600
Bills dismounted 17,26.5,600 decrease 1,291,900
Circulation
Trossury deposits
Private deposits
Advances on French
government stocks 2,179,800 decrease 260,700
Advaaaes ow railway
sbares 4,668,700, deerrue

The most serious teatuis in this return is the dimi-
nution of upwards of two millions sterling in the coin
and bullion. The total amount of bullion held by
the Batik is now only eleven millions and a
half. Last month this item showed an in-
crease of 966,1001. The heads of " discounts"
and Treasury deposits were largely swelled
last month by the operation of the French loan, and
now exhibit a great reaction. On the whole the
position of the Bank is proved to be mull lees strong,
and indications of approaching tightness in the
French money market are afforded. At the same
time the heavy amount of the advances on French
government stocks and railway shares shows that
considerable speculation is afloat.
The Admiralty will receive tenders on the 18thl
inst. for the conveyance, from the River Thames, of
1,700 lona of stores (planks) to the Crimea ; and 600
tons of naval stores (masts, timber, &e.) to Malta.
The Canada Land Company's shares continue to
show an upward tendency. British American Land
shares were flatter on Saturday. The stock of the Van
Diemen'a Land Company was in request at a sensible
advance. In Bank Shares the feature was a rise in
those of the English, Scottish, and Australian Char-
tered Bank. Australian Royal Mail Steam shares
were dealt in at 41; and Peninsular and Oriental
at 69.

The annual meeting of the Unity General Assurance
Association is called for the 10th of October, and will
be made special, to alter the deed of settlement.
Subjoined is a statement (extracted from the Liver-
pool Weekly Share Liet) showing the rates of interest
yielded by ordinary railway stock at present prices.
The calculation is based on the dividends paid for the
half-year ending the 30th of June, 1855, and for tha
year ending with the same date.
