According to a notice in last night's Gault*, the
tables hitherto used by the government for granting
annuities upon single lives, and for terms of years,
are revoked, and now tables issued in conformity
with which annuities will, of course, continue to be
granted. Trustees of savings banks and parochial
societies are called upon to apply for the new
tables.
The money market remains fully as easy as last
week, but any further reduction in terms can 'comely
be expected, as capital has now for some time been
quite "a drug" in the market, so far as regards the
means of its profitable employment. Meanwhile, the
railway companies continue to take 'advantage of the
present state of affairs. The terms on which loans
on debentures are now received by the companies
generally vary from 31 to 4 per cent., being in most
eases a very material reduction from the rates pre-
viously current. The directors of the Bristol and
Exeter Railway announce that they are ready to
pay off immediately in cash any debentures which
bear interest at 5 or 41 per cent., or to grant per-
petual preference 4 per cent. stock in esehunge fur
them, allowing the holders in either case the differ-
ence of interest. . . .

The imports of bullion and specie this week in-
clude 58,000 ounces of gold by the Statesman from
Port Phillip; 12,0001. by the Arctic from New York ;
1,373!. by the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Tagus
(of which 2301. was from Gibraltar, 2401. from Cadiz,
9201. from Lisbon, and 1601. from Oporto); and
29,260/. by the Severn from the Brazils. The total
value of these imports is about 260,0001. It is also
known that parcels of gold coin have come in from
the continent, but of thew) we have no return.

The shipments of the precious metals direct from
London (for the week ending Thursday) have not
been very large, comprising 142,620 ounces of silver
and 4,670 ounces of gold, of the aggretrate value of
about 64,0001. The account in detail is u follows:
Gold coin : To Hamburg, 3,70$ oz. ; to Dunkirk,
230 or.; to Belgium, 80 oz.; to Amsterdam, 100 os.

Silver coin : To Rotterdam, 20,620 oz.; to Belgium,
14,000 oz.; to Boulogne, 634 oz. Silver bars: To
Itotterdam, 86,000 oz.; to Dunkirk, 18,000 oz.; to
Boulogne, 3,366 oz.
The shipments from the outports, according to our
returns, embrace 40,128/. by the Tay, for the Bra-
zils; 138,000!. by the screw steamer Chusan, for
Australia; and 50,000/. by the Propontis, for the
Cape. The total exports from the kingdom arc thus
raised to about 282,000/.

An analysis of the railway traffic returns of the
United Kingdom for the last week, published by
Iforapath's Journal, shows the total receipts on 6,515
miles to be 282,4741., or at the rate of 43/. 10s. per mile
per week. The receipts for the corresponding
period of last year were 262,2221. on 6,366 miles, or
411. ss. per mile per week. There is thus an increase
of 20,2521., or 7.72 per cent. in the aggregate amount
received ; an increase in the mileage of 149 miles, or
2.32 per cent.; and an increase of 21. ss. in the
amount received per mile per week. The aggregate
receipts from the Ist of January to the present time
are stated at 4,862,7671., against 4,532,945 k in the
corresponding period of 1851, being an increase in
the nineteen weeks of 329,8221.
