per cent.

It appears that the contract for the new loan has
been fully ratified by the government of Venezuela.
But Messrs. Baring, with their usual scrupulous
exactitude, will not formally announce the comple-
tion of the loan till after receipt of the necessary
documents which are expected to arrive by the
mail due at the close of this month; and notice to
this effect will be issued at once by Messrs. Baringto
the subscribers to the loan. The customs duties upon
which this loan is secured as • first charge amount
to 164,000‘ per annum, while the annual charge
for interest and sinking fund only reaches 80,0001.
The British Consul-General, Mr. Orme, has already
consented to receive the sums specially set apart
for the interest and sinking fund of the loan. As
the first half-year's dividend will be deducted from
the next instalment, the loan practically stands,
the present quotation being 3 prem., at par.
About 06,0001. in gold, principally sovereigns,
for Venezuela, on amount of the new loan, was
withdrawn from the Bank yesterday, while 26,0001.
was bought by that establishment.
Owing to the tenor of the telegrams just re-
ceived from Bombay, there has been an active de-
mand for bar silver, and the supply by the Atrato
has been sold for that port at an advance of 51.,viz.,
at ss. 15d. per ounce.

The following gold ships are now on the way from
Melbourne to England, via.:—The Aloe (out
190 days), with 81,0001. • the Roxburgh Castle (out
79 days), with 254,5001. ; the Moravian (out 65
days), with 197,0001; and the Wellesley (out 55
days), with 136,5001. The aggregate is 669,000/.,
of which not more than 81,0001.—the amount by
the Aloe—is yet due.
A circular, just issued, announces the failure of
Messrs. Maxwell and Co., publishers, of Fleet-
street. A meeting of the creditors will be held on
Tuesday next, when a proposition will be submitted
to their consideration. The books have been placed
in the hands of Messrs. Coleman, Turquand,
Youngs, and Co., the accountants.

An extraordinary meeting of the Universal
Marine Insurance Company is called for the 23rd
inst., to determine whether the undertaking shall
be registered under the Limited Liability Act, and
the directors be increased to 16 in number.

Subjoined is an extract from a letter dated Cal-
cutta, Sept. 8, relating to Indian tea companies :
The tea gardens are thriving, and we shall get dividends
from some of them next year. The shame of the Bengal
Tea Company are emcee, at 25 per cent. premium. They
are cheap at this figure.
