The influx of bullion continues to engage attention.
To-day the Europa has brought in a further sum of
nearly 50,0001. in specie from New York.
At the commencement of business Consols were

an extensive business, and nearly all the Spanish
American securities are in demand at rising prices.
Buenos Ayrcan, Chilinn, Equador,Granada, Mexican,
Peruvian, and Venezuelan, all show the effect of the
movement. Granada Deferred have been purchased
as high as 111. Spanish Bonds are also in better
favour, and the Committee'. Certificate have risen

Notice has been issued of the numbers of the bonds
of tho Greek loan destined for redemption on the let
March next. Of the series guaranteed by England
218 bonds are to be paid off; of that guaranteed by
Franco 215 bonds, and of the Russian guarantee 220
bonds. The 215 bonds of the series guaranteed by
France were purchased below par, whilst the others
were drawn by lot in presence of the proper parties.
There has been no movement in the money market,
but there are signs of further competition on the part
of the dealers. Rates may be ceded 1; per cent. on
call and 2 per ccut. for discount on first-class bills.
IBank of England rates arc 21 percent. for discounts
and 2 per eout. for advances on stocks and Exchequer
Bills during the closing of the books, the latter terms
being the same as those prevailing in the last quarter.
Bullion is flowing in from several quarters, and accu-
mulating in the great European banks; and if the
peace of Europe, or anything like a state of political
quietude, is maintained for some time, a period of
much speculation, attended with a considerable, and
in all likelihood a permanent, rise in prices may take
place. At the same time, it must not be forgotten
that events may take another direction, political agi-
tation arise here, and an impulse be given to disturb-
ance on the Continent. The seeds of evil are lurk-
ing everywhere, and public confidence will be easily
shaken.
The amount of bullion at this time in the two
great banks of England and France exceeds 42 mil-
lions, an enormous and unexampled sum. The par-
ticulars are as follows :
Bank of England
Bank of France 23,643,636
£42,101,666
This is exclusive of bullion in the mints of London
and Paris.
The circulation of the two banks stands thus :
Bank of England
Bank of France 22,651,275

£42,838,695
While the circulation of the two countries seems
to have reached its limit, it cannot be safely said that
the accumulation of treasure, vast as it is, will not
continue with the increased production of bullion.
The government has given its sanction to a new
class of investment, by granting a charter to the
West of Ireland Land and Investment Company.
The Board of Trade is not very liberal in its conces-
sions to joint-stock enterprises, but undertakings
connected with Ireland meet with more favour, and
accordingly the charter provides that the liability of
the shareholders shall be limited to the amount of
their shares. The company have thus received •
great concession, and on them lies the responsibility,
by their operations, of justifying the contidenco re-
' posed in them, and of hying open • new and untried
1 branch of enterprise, but eue which if successful
presents a vast field.

- The imports of specie and bullion this week in-
clude 198,0001. by the Niagara from New York ;
2,146!. by the Peninsular and Oriental steamer
Madrid (from Gibraltar, 80111.; from Lisbon, 1,0951.;

sterling.
There do not appear to have been any shipments
of specie from the out-ports this week.
An analysis of the railway traffic returns of tho
United Kingdom for the last week, published by
'lmpales Journal, shows the total receipts on 6,600
miles to be 242,6361., or at the rate of' 361. 16s. per
mile per week. The receipts for the corresponding
period of last year were 223,160 i. on 6,269 miles, or
361. per mile per week. There is thus an increase of
17,4361., or 7.73 per cent. in the aggregate amount
received, an increase in the mileage of 331 miles, or
6.28 per cent., and an increase of 15s. in the amount
received per mile per week.
The Railway Times estimates the total receipts
since the Ist of January ut 1,586,3801., which, on
6,601 miles, gives an average of 2901. 3e. 4d. per mile ;
and as the amount for the corresponding period of
1831 '.us L 7664173/. on 6,262 miles, or• 2821. os. 11d.
per mile, the difference is shown to be in favour of
the present year to the extent of 8!. 24. per mile.
The total amount of railway calls falling due in
the month of March is as follows:
