London, England, 1851-10-18 00:00:00

The bullion market remains at former quotations
but at these rates, it mar be noted, much inure firm-
ness is apparent in the silver market. Present quo-
tations are thus reported by Messrs. Sharps and
Wilkins :—Bar gold, 31. 17s. tki. per ounce standard;
American gold eagles, 31. Ws. 3d. per ounce ; bar
silver, without gold. as. Old. per ounce standard ;
Spanish doubloons, V. 19s. per ounce ; Columbian
doubloons, 3/. 10s. per ounce ; bar silver, containing
gold (all gold above five grains in the pound to be
paid for), ss. 04d. per ounce ; Mexican and South
American dollars, 4s. 104 d. per ounce ; Spanish pillar
dollars, ss. per ounce ; United States dollars,
4s. md. per ounce.
The imports of bullion into England this week
include, by the Jupiter Peninsular and Oriental
steamer, 60,0001.; by the Europa from New York,
10,400 dollars ; by the Adonis from St. Petersburg,
70,0001. in Russian gold coin'; by the Lion steamer,
at Hull yesterday, from St. Petersburg, 80,0001. ; by
the lberm and Montrose Peninsular and Oriental
steamers, small parcels of specie. The total imports
are about 213,000/., a considerable sum at other
times, but now rated us small in comparison with
the large sums which have poured in from Califor-
nia. It will be sceu, however, that the imports of
specie from Russia during the week have been no
less than 130,11110/. The Tay from the Brazils
brought no bullion, the gold dust, which ought to
have come forward, having been used up for local
purposes. The remittances from that country have
been very scanty this year.
There have been no largo shipments of gold or
silver this week from the outports.
The price of gold, on Thursday, at Paris, was
about par (new tariff rate), which, at the Eng-
lish mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for stan-
dard gold, gives an exchange of 23.17, and the ex-
change at Paris on London at short being 23.261, it
follows that gold is about 0.383 per cent. dearer in
London than in Paris.

By last accounts, the course of exchange at New
York on London, for bills at 60 days sight, is 110,1
per cent.; and the par of exchange between England
and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows
that the exchange is nominally 0.67 per cent. in
favour of England. Upon taking into consideration
the difference of interest and charges of transport,
we had that the present rate leaves a small profit on
the importation of gold from the United States.
After some delay, transactions have been resumed
in bar silver at Paris, which has been dealt in at
0.83 to 0.9 per cent. prem. Sovereigns have like-
wise risen to 25fr. 20; exchange at short being a
shade better.

land for the week endulg Saturday the 11th of Oc-
