The imports of specie from the United States con-
tinue. The Pacific, just arrived at Liverpool, has
brought in a further sum of 143,0001. The more
interest attaches to this import, as from the decline
in the exchange at New York on London previously
advised, in connexion with the ordinary movement
of trade at this season, an opinion was entertained in
some quarters that no further large supplies of specie
could be expected from the United States. At this pe-
riod of the year it must not be forgotten, with the im-
mense mass of United States loans held on English
account, the necessary dividend arrangements have a
very important influence on the movement of the
Lecdi.ous metals, as between that country and Eng-

The traffic returns for the last week on the under-

The total receipts upon the corresponding lines
being 179,2801. against 171,9041. in the same week
of last year, the increase is shown to be 7,3261.,
or 41 per cent. The number of miles open in 1832
was 4,2611, and in 1831, 4,173, being au increase of
881 miles, or 2 per cent. The aggregate average
return per mile per week was, in 1832, 421. ls. 2d.,
and in 1831, 411.3*. 1C81.,50 that the difference remains
in favour of the present year to the extent of
17s. 4d. per mile. The London and North Western
return is rather improved this week, owing partly to
the Oundle steeple chase.

The quotations of foreign exchange this afternoon
have not varied much from those of last post, but in
several instances, owing to a very scanty supply of
bills and a considerable demand, the rates have gone
a shade lower. The prices negotiated are as follows :

ance this week ; prices arc unaltered.

however, to comply.
