The Paris advises state that the applications for
the new French Government Loan of 12,000,000!.,
the lista for whish opened yesterday, are expected
to reach an astounding total. According to the
belief of some, au aggregate of four milliards, or
160,000,000/. sterling, will be attained, being more
than 13 times the amount of stock offered. The
Bank of Franca is stated to be still losing bullion
rapidly, but it is said that a portion of the with-
drawals are effected by persons who intend to sub-
scribe to the new loan.

The following is an extract of a letter addressed
to the committee of the holders of Greek Bonds of
1824 and 1825, and dated Athena, the Bth lust.
"I understand that a project is on foot to bring on
a discussion in the National Assembly on the claims
of the bondholders, and my informant said that the
idea had been favourably received,"
The particulars are published of a considerable
number of Bonds of the Austrian Five per Cent.
Loans of 1852 and 1859 which have been drawn for
redemption.
About 93,0001. in bar gold and 48,000 sovereigns,
making a total of 141,0001., were withdrawn from
the Bank yesterday for exportation. The former
amount is probably intended for the Continent,
and the latter is known to be for Alexandria.
The amount of Australian gold now on the way
'to England is 242,5001. The Suffolk has 115,500/.
on freight ; the Water Nymph, 56,0001. ; and the

The failure is announced, under discreditable
circumstances, of Mr. J. P. Moll, silk broker, of
Old Broad-street, with liabilities for about 80,00i.N.,
• considerable portion of which, however, are se-
cured. The unsecured creditors will, it is stated,
get no dividend. Some of the creditors, with a
view to have the facto in dispute thoroughly sifted,
are about to make Mr. Moll a bankrupt. This
stoppage has also caused that of the respectable
firm of William Chappell and Sons, silk throwsters,
of Coventry, whose liabilities reach about 40,0001.
In this case, however, it is thought the unsecured
creditors will obtain a dividend of 7s. or Bs. in the
pound.
