ever, a firmer feeling prevailed, and the closing
quotations were the same as those of yesterday. The
transactions were limited, the Stock Exchange being
now closed at two o'clock on Saturdays, and a dispo-
sition becoming daily more prevalent to regard the
last day of the week as a partial holiday.

Notwithstanding the absence of Australian remit-
tances, the imports of the precious metals this week
have been considerable. Our list includes the under-
mentioned arrivals, viz.: 1,688,000 dolt. by the Bal-
tic and 105,000 dole. by the Arago, both from New
York; 789,794 dole. (of which about 230,000 dole.
were in gold and 559,794 dole. in silver) by the La
Plata, from the West Indies, Bto. ; 1,1801. in gold
dust, besides a small quantity of specie, by the Great
Western, from the Brazils; 10,4781. by the Iberia,
from the Peninsula; and a small'quantity of gold by
the Derwentwater, from Hobart Town.
The total value of these imports may be stated at
between 507,0001. and 508,0001. Large quantities of
silver also continue to be drawn from the continent
to meet the demand for India and Chios, and this
isfhienoe would appear to operate as a check to any
tendency towards recovery is the continental ex-
changes. Thus the Custom-house lists record the
arrival of 15 oases of bullion by the Baron Osy,
from Antwerp; 45 cases of silver bars and 34 cases
and 12 casks of bullion, by the Raveneboarne, from
the same port; 26 casks of silver by the Batavier, and
9 casks of bar silver by the Fyenoord, both from
Rotterdam ; and 28 boxes of silver coin by the Flora,
from Oporto. The value of these silver remittances
is not stated.
The Custom-house statement of the exports of the
precious metals direct from London during the week
comprises 84,700 ounces of silver, chittly to Belgium;
and 1,710 ounces of gold, chiefly to Hamburg. These
shipments represent • total value of about 28,0001.
The particulars are annexed, viz., Gold ban: to Bel-
gium, 450 ounces. Gold coin : to Hamburg, 1,200

200 ounces ; to Boulogne, 700 ounces.
The only other shipment officially reported is
49,3171. by the Avon, for the Brazils, Sea, by which
the ascertained shipments of the week are raised to
about 77,0001. There have also been some consider-
able shipments of gold in private hands to the con-
tinent, but, on balance, the Bank of England's me-
tallic stock is believed to have received an accession
this week.
The Admiralty will receive tenders on the 26th
inst. for the supply of 50,0001b5. of tea, 5 tone of
pepper, 27 tons of tobacco, 60 tons of 'trap, and 200
