The Express.
London, England, 1851-07-07 00:00:00

The results presented by the revenue returns fur the
quarter published this morning are generally regarded
with satisfaction in the city, and, though a decline
of has taken place in the quotation of- Consols, as
compared with Saturday's closing price, it is not at-
tributable to any consideration connected with the
financial position of the country, as, the trifling
amount of the decrease exhibited is very eu-
couraging, in face of the heavy reductions of
taxation that have been effected, but it is
rather owing to the opening of the books
this day for special transfer having brought
forward a number of operations hitherto
held back, as is usual at this period. The market
has shown a fair amount of activity, and is generally
steady, the case of tho money market having a fa-
vourable influence.
Consols arc quoted 96; to 97 ex div. for the 17th
inst. Business is officially reported as follows:
Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 97, 4, 994; ditto

•SATURDAY EVENING.

Money is abundant, and the rate of discount is ra-
ther easier, as it is likewise at Hamburg and Paris.
Unless commercial affairs assume a greater impor-
janec than they now do, the topes of those who
await a rise in discounts are likely to be disap-
pointed.
The Bank of England returns exhibit an increase
in the government deposits preparatory to the divi-
dends liaid next week, and a considerable and conti-
linens increase in the bullion.

The Bank of France returns for the week ending
Thursday, the 3rd of July, show the following
results (2:1 francs for 1/.):—
Bullion £23,523,212 Dccreaso £178,961
Buuiva on deposit 138,88 Increase 13,50 G
Circulation
Public deposits
Private depu,its 6,087,268 Decrease 229,803
Bill, discounted 4,167,344 Increase 141,133
Government securities 7,0411,1i22

The chief change to be noticed in the above return
arises out of the payment of the dividends on the
Three per Cent. Itentes which was in progress. The
stock of bullion which has been steadily increasing
since last autumn, seems at length to have reached its
highest point, within a trifle of the enormous amount
of twenty-three millions and three quarters sterling, as
this week's return at length shows a diminution.
The increase in the bills discounted is caused by the
return under review including the usual accumula-
tion at the end of tho month.

The bullion market here is unchanged, but a slight
alteration, as reported by us, has taken place at
Paris.

The last prices of fine gold arc :—London,
3/. 17s. 9d. par ounce; Amsterdam, 11 to 114 per
cent. preen.; Bombay (leaf), 161 rupees per toms;
Buenos Ayres, 3 per ccut. prem.; Calcutta (China
gold), 15.9 to 16.2; Canton, 15 debt. per ounce;

prem.
The imports of bullion this week include 223,0001.
by the Asia from the United States; 1,000,000 dole.
by the l'acific from the United States; and, by the
Montrose Peninsular and Oriental steamer, 1,4111. •
(515/. front Gibraltar, 895/. from Lisbon). The total
imports are about 450,0001.
The total amount of the precious metals exported
direct from London, during the wed: eliding Thurs-
day last, we learn from official sources, was as follows:
Gold dust : to Havre, 156 oz. ; to Hamburg, 100 oz.
Gold bars : to Hamburg, 45 oz. ; to Dunkirk, 1,500
oz. Gold coin : to the Mauritius, 950 oz.; to Bel-
gium 13,900 oz. ; to Dunkirk, 3,560 oz. Silver bars:
to Belgium, 50,000 oz.; to Rotterdam, 18,000 oz.;
to Hamburg, 30,202 oz.; to Dunkirk, 7,800 oz. Silver
coin : to Rotterdam, 75,000 oz.; to Belgium, 38,000
oz. ' • to Boulogne, 11,120 ak. ; to Dunkirk, 62,000 oz.
This gives a total export fur the week of 20,211
ounces of gold, and 292,122 ounces of silver, of the
aggregate value of about 151,6001.
Besides these exports the Dee, West India steamer,
took out 9,000!., and the Tagus, Peninsular and Ori-
ental steamer, 4,950!., both from Southampton.
Our usual analysis of the English railway traffic'for
the last week (published in the Express of Fri-
day), was of a very favourable character, and the
statement of the traffic on all the lines in the United
kingdom is not less satisfactory. The total receipts
on ,6,209 miles are 325,451/., or 52/. ss. per mile per
week. In the corresponding week of last year the
amount was 271,7121. on 5,800 miles, or equal to
47/. per mile per week. There is thus an increase
of 53,7391., or 19.77 per cent., in the gross receipts ;
an increase in the mileage of 409 miles, or 7.05
per cent. ; and an increase of 5/. ss. in the amount
received per mile per week. The total receipts
on 6,312 miles for the 26 weeks of the present
year are estimated at 6,579,0841., which is at the
rate of 1,044/. per mile for the half-year. In
1850, the receipts on 5,800 miles, were 5,867,364/., or
1,011/. 10s. per mile. This shows an increase of
321. Dis. per mile over the preceding year, a circum-
stance which has not occurred for six years.
