About 32,0001. in gold was bought by the Bank on
Saturday. In consequence, however, of the decline
in the value of money, there is a partial revival of
the demand for gold for export, so that the influx
to the Bank will probably be henceforward on a
reduced scale. Of the 224,0001. by the City of
Washington, from New York, a considerable
portion has been taken for Spain.

The Atrato has arrived from the West Indies
with 422,0001., of which 253,0001. is silver, and
169,0001. gold.
The International Financial Society and the
Anglo-Italian Bank have just announced that
they are prepared to receive applications for the
capital of the Italian Land Company (Limited).
The capital of this important undertaking is
1,50010001., in 30,000 shares of 501. each. It is
mentioned that this company has been in prepara-
tion for several months, and has now succeeded in
uniting influential interests in Italy in its favour.'
The objects proposed are very legitimate, com-1
prising the development of the visit agricultural
resources of Italy, than which probably no
country in Europe presents a more pro-
mising field for the investment of capital in
land. Advances of money to landowners, especially
where the estates are situated near the lines of rail-,
way now in course of construction, form au im-
portant feature of the company's programme. The
present is also a peculiarly favourable opportunity
for the purchase at low prices of large tracts of
crown land, many of which have been allowed to
lie unproductive itor centuries. The respectability
of the project is vouched for by the following list of
directors, the first five of whom are also directors
of the Anglo-Italian Bank, viz. :—The Baron
Ricasoli ; Sir James Hudson, G.C.B. ; Sir James
P. Lacaita, K.C.M.G., member of the Italian Par-
liament, and director of the South Italian Railway
Company ; Mr. Julius Bordier, of London ; the
Chevalier L Leonino, of London ; Mr. James Caird,
IL P. ; the Commendatore Corsi (late Minister
of Commerce), member of the Italian Parliament,
and Director of the South Italian Railway
Company ; the Hon. L. G. F. Agar-Ellis, If. P. ;
Mr. Sabin° Leonino (of Fratelli, Leonino, Genoa);
Mr. Revile Lubbock (of Cavan,Lubbock, and Co.) ;
Colonel Vincenzo Ricasoli, member of the Italian
Parliament ; and the Commendatore Devincenzi,
President of the Royal Commission for the Cultiva.
tion of Cotton in Italy, and member of the Italian I
Parliament.

The prospectus of the Chamonix United Hotels
Company (Limited) is also issued. The object of
this undertaking is to purchase seven leading hotels
at: Chamonix, the great rendezvous for tourists
from all parts of the world. The hotels comprise,
in all, accommodation for more than 500 visitors.
By the amalgamation now effected competition will
be prevented. The management of all the com-
pany's hotels is to be entrusted to the present pro-
prietor of three of the principal ones. The board
includes two directors of the London, Hamburg,
and Continental Bank. The capital is 100,0001.,
in 5,000 shares of 201. each, and of these 1,500 are
already plsoed.
A call of 6/. has been made on the shares of the
Commercial Navigation Company of India(Limited),
payable by the let of July. The directors of this
undertaking have issued the annexed circular:

The Directon have thought it advisable to postpone the
annual several meeting of the company for the present, is
order that the result of important negotiations now pood-
les may be laid before the proprietors at the same time.
The secretary, who has left for Calcutta on other bruiser, is
empowered to mmolude them, if possible, and as his retorts,
or on mosipt of his report, a meeting will be at once coo.
