About 31,0001. in gold was withdrawn from the
Bank yesterday for exportation. As the demand
for the continent continues strong, while the remit-
tances from America and Australia are upon a very
moderate male, it is not unlikely that further
amounts will be taken from the Bank.
The steamer Ceylon will take to-day 92,8731.
in specie, of which 1,9224 is gold and the rest
silver. 57,940/. is for China, 17,1501. for Singapore,
16,9231. for Madras, and 8601. for Point de Gallo.
The season for larger remittances of silver to the
East will shortly commence, but it is thought that
they will not be so extensive as they were at the
corresponding period of last year, owing to the
increased exports of cotton goods, by which the
balance of trade against England is of course pro-
portionately reduced.
Very little alteration occurred yesterday after-
noon in the foreign exchanges, which were quoted
