The notes in the banking department were dimi-
nished from 4,216,413/. to 3,774,6731., difference less
441,7701.
This large slecrease of the notes in reserve, and in
the stock of coin awl bullion, are the disagreeable
features in these returns which will attract the most
attention, and make the most impression. They fur-
nish an unmistakeable clue to the motives which
have influenced recent Bank action in a considerable
degree. The gravity of those motives will scarcely
be lessened by the continuance of the same disturb-
ing causes during the week now closing. For it is
understood that the Bank was drawn of kelt a mil-
lion more in the commencement of the present week
by a firm largely connected with foreign exchange,
banking, and financial operations, for transfer to Paris,
though not passing through the custom-house of this
port. The sum so drawn away consisted of si leer in bars.
It will be observed that more than one-half of the me-
tallic deficiency in the returns now under notice con-
sisted also of silver. These exports would seem to
indicate that some portion of the French loan has
actually been contracted for, as indeed reported in
Paris, and the coffers of the Bunk are operated upon
in consequence fur the metallic supplies required. The
present position of the establishment under these and
other circumstances does not appear to be so desirable
as might be wished, as may be observed upon more
fully on another occasion.
The corn market was thrown into confusion, not to
say consternation, this morning by a circular letter
announcing their suspension of payments by the
highly respectable house of Charles Douglas and Son,
of Mark-lane. The extent of the liabilities is
variously reported, but the more current account is
that they may amount to about a quarter of a million.
This unfortunate casualty is understood not to be at-
tributable to any excess of speculation in corn, or to
speculations at all, of the parties on their own account.
'they are known to be very large holders of grain, but
entirely on foreign account, and consigned to them for
sole. A merchant, himself a sufferer to rather a large
Irmunt, has expressed his conviction that the firm arc
sot directly interested for a single quarter of wheat
,in their possession. But, although acting in the capa-
haty of agents only for sale or purchase, and on the
largest scale as one of the most considerable houses
in the trade, it is clear they most have come under
engagements, say acceptances, for very heavy sums
to their foreign consignors, at a time when corn
bores. probably twice or more its present value.
Therefore, although on the usual mercantile rale
they 'might only have accepted for two thirds of
the values shipped, yet at the present prices of the
commodity, they could not fail to be seriously unco-
vered. It is stated, also, that they have been !eft in
default by parties for whom they had executed large
purchase orders on commission. The more immediate
cause of stoppage was said to be the failure of Messrs.
Langdale and Co., of Stockton-on-Tees, whom they
had been supporting with advances, and arc conse-
quently involved with them for some 30,0001. or more.
It is believed that Messrs. Douglas and Son, who are
spoken of in all quarters with respect and sympathy,
will be able eventually to satisfy all their engagement'.
A correspondent, who writes to point out a
supposed error under this head in the Daily News
of the 3rd instant, is himself in error. The matter
in question was the higher rates of money, es exem-
plified in the greater difficulty of obtaining loan
accommodation even at such Ligher rates. It was
observed that railway debentures of the first lines
at 5 per cent. were offering on terms to pay 6 per
cent. (to the lender, of course), but there were no
takers: not buyers, as the correspondent misquotes it.
The debentures were not offered fur sale: therefore,
the broker applied to for the purchase of some was
misdirected. As parties in want of temporary
accommodation do not usually advertise their neces-
sities in the open market, for obvious reasons, it may
readily be conceived that the knowledge of such
transactions does not transpire far beyond the
quarters interested.

sir G. Lerma in the ch.d. The dton' report stated that the
terms they had now to submit for consideration were as follows:
The East Indian is to undertake to construct In the first in-once, and
to keep up, and work when eon-trusted, two sections of their pro-
pored line of railway between Calcutta and the north-western pro-
nieces of India—one section in Upper and the other in Lower India—
and to remold thereon the sum of 3,000,0001. sterling. The railway
compary is to carry the government mail free of coat, and the
troops and military stores at the lowest farm charged to pmseugers
and goods. In oonaideration wbereot the Emit India Company is to
guarantee a minimum dividend of 5 per sent per annum upon
sums which, in the tour.e of three years from the date of the rail.
way company signing the first contract with the EMIL India
Company, shall be paid Into the East India Company's treasury
by the railway company, to an extent nut exceeding 3,000,0001. der-
lm;. This guarantee is to continue for a period of 25 mare, and the
payment of the Interest to commence to soon us the payment into the
beet ladle company's Deviltry shall amount to 100,0001„ and Is to be
made in London half-yearly. The East India company is to prorlde
and lease to the railway company, without charge or expewe, for 99
years, all the lead required tar the railway, the land remaining the
property of the government. When the prodis of the railway exceed
5 pee cent the excess a to be divided between the Last India vompony
and the railway COO pany, until the amount which may bare been ad-
vanced by the Fad India company dual bare been repaid thus, sup-
posing the line to pay 10 percent., the meprktary would receive 71 per
vent, and the government 11, until the advances thonle be repaid, when
the whole of the prothe would revert to the proprietors. The direetorn
unanimotoly recommended the proprietors to adopt theta terra, and
sated authority to clone with the East India Onmpany. They added ;
