A further statement of the French loan, issued by the

of subscriptions, shows tho following results (taleigt
the exchange at 25:r. per 11.)—viz., total applica-
tions from all quarters, 146,103,8761. ; total of sub-
sciptions of 50fr. Rente and under, which aro not
liable to reduction, 9,276,8041. The 101,330,5361.
subscribed in Paris included about 21,000,0004
from abroad. The deposit of 10 per cent. represents
a total sum of 14,610,3611. temporarily withdrawn
from circulation. Of this amount, however.
4,800,0001. has been already released in Paris, and
the reimbursement of the rest of the surplus deposits
is to be carried on as quickly as possible. Thu entire
loan being tor 30,000,0001., in addition to a supple-
mental amount of 1,200,0001. the exact propor-
tion to be allotted to each subscriber for mote
than 30 fr. of Rente would be 15.02 per cent. of the
amount applied for ; but to prevent the difficulty at-
tendant upon a factional division, the allotment is to
bo effected by mu:tiplt a of 101. for Rentta of I,ooof.
and under, and by multiples of 100 f. for those of a
higher amount.

The imports of the precious metals last week
have been considerable. Our list includes 77,001)
ounces of gold. by the George Marshall, from Port
Phillip; 6,685 ounces by tho Catteux Wattell, Irons
Sydney; 900,000 dollars by the Pacific, and 100,000
dollars by the Arago, both from New York.
The total value of these snivels is about 033,0001.
Owing to the continued demand for silver for India
and Chins, large quantities of this metal continue to
be drawn from various points of the Continent. Thus
the Custom-house returns record the saliva of 23
barrels of silver bars, by the Diana, from Amster-
dam ; 8 cases of coin, by the Baron Osy, trans
Antwerp; 15 cases of silver bars by the Seine, from
Calais; and 26 boxes of silver coin by the Ceres,
front Oporto.
The shipments have been less considerable. Tho
Custom-house statement of the exports direct from
London includes 2,160 ounces of gold and 1,1500
ounces of silver, representing a total value of only
about 8,8001. The particulars are annexed, viz.:
Gold coin : to Hamburg, 1,000 oz. ; to Boulogne,
110 oz. Gold bars: to Boulogue, 1,000 cz. Gold bul-
lion : to Havre, 50 oz. Silver coin : to Boulogne,
1,800 oz. The Tay hes also taken out 40,9801. in
specie for the Brazils, &c.; and the Alhambra
51,0001. for the Peninsula.
The total aecertuined shipments of the week are
thus raised to little more than 100,0001. The private
remittances of gold to the continent, via the Kentish
ports, aro believed to have been small.
The prospectus is issued of the Brussels and Farces
Junction Railway, forming a junction with the West
Flanders and Ghent and Brussels lines and the sea
coast, at the village of La Patine, a short distance
from Fumes. The Belgian government, it is men-
tioned, intends, as soon as the railway is sufficiently
advanced, to form a harbour at La Panne, the road-
steed of which is stated to possess several advantages
over Ostend. Upon the capital of 200,0001. the
Belgian government hes guarentei d a minimum
interest of 8,0001. per annum for 50 years, and es the
contractors take 40,0004 in shares, for dividend on
which they look solely to the traffic of the line, the
remaining 160,0001. of capital offered to the public
will enjoy the Belgian government guarantee of the
per cent. per annum. During construction the share-
holders are to receive 5 per cent, per annum interest
from the contractor,. A future extension of the lino

is also hinted at. The shares are to be ,t 31. each,
