The ,imports of the precious metals last week
were cionaulerable, amounting to about 480,0001.,
although our list comprises only two an ivale--viz.,
646,088 dole by the Atrato, from the West Indic? ,
&a.; and 87,281 oz. of gold by the Blackwell, frot4
Melbourne. Silver also continues to be received from
the continent. Amongst thew arrivals we notice 19
cases by the Baron Osy, from Antwerp.
The Custom-home statement of the shipments
direct from London during the week represents a
total of only 16,0001. or 16,00 W., including 4,116 oz.
of gold to Hamburg, 6131. to HMO' and 700 oz. of
silver to Hamburg. The Midrid has also taken out
13,6621. for the Peninsula, and the Tyne 4001. for the
Brazils. The amount of specie and bullion shipped
on board the Indus, which is to leave Southampton
on Monday morning. for Alexandria, is 366,6741., of
which 361,3741. consists of silver and 6,2001. of gold.
This amount is considerably less than that shipped
by recent mails. The destination of these supplies
is as follows, viz.: for Alexandria. gold. 2,6001.; for
Bombay, silver, 209,9934; for Ceylon, gold, 2,7004;
for Madras, silver, 14,8761.; and for Calcutta, silver,
126,4864
The aggregate ascertained exports of the week
are thus raised to about 386,0004 It is known,
however, that oonsi4erabie shipments of gold con-
tinue to be made privately to Turkey against the late
loan of 6,000,0001.
We understand that two of the directors of the
Great Luxembourg Company are upon the point of
visiting Paris, in connexion with the negotiations
with the Eastern Railway Company of France.
It is stated that, notwithstanding the expressed un-
willingness of the French government to authorise
new railway companies at present, a• decree may ere
long be expected conceding the Pyrenean network
of railway. to the Great Central of France and Bor.
&aux and Cette Railway Companies, which are now
negotiating with a view to effect en equitable
division of the proposed lines. There is an Impression
in some quarters that the Carmesux Railway apneas-
skin may perhaps be made at the same time, es by
its construction the Great Central Railway would be
made one unbroken line via Toulouse from Paris to
the South of France and to Spain.
We learn from a report it-oed by the committee
of management of the North British Aastralulan
Company that the Kamm mine has been aban-
doned, after an expenditure of 28,6004, besides
an additional liability of 8,0004 or 10,0001.
The ;net profits on the other branches of the
company's operations are stated at 9,8731., and the
position of Its property is described as favourable; but,
owing to the disappointment in connexion with the
mine, no dividend can be declared at the meeting

present were :—Lord Naas, Sir John Pakington, Mr. Ad-
derley, Mr. Dudes, Mr. Beckett Denison, Mr. M. Milnes,
Mr. Massey, Mr. Wickham, and Mr. P. &roue.
The committee examined Mr. Elliot, of the Colonial-
office, at much length, relative to the operation of the old
treasportatios system. He stated that owing to the
complaints of ti e colonies, tuaspertation to New South
Wales was abolished in 1840, and after that con-
victs were tent in greater numbers to Bermuda,
Gibraltar, Peatonville, tad the hulks, but still
transportation was continued to a limited extent Is
South Australia. This species of transportation was con-
fined to exiles or tenons who had been convicts but had re-
ceived pardons from the Crown. About 2.000 of these were
sant out, but the colonists still of jtctiog, that species of
transportation was discontinued in 1848. Subsequently
transportation to Van Diemen% Laad was considerably in-
cruised, but the crimes amongst the convicts themselves ►a-
ssets so horrible that it had bun greatly reduced, and then
it was that Lord Derby euceived the ides
of sstablishieg a penal colony in North Australia foe
the caption of probationary convicts. That 'champ,
however, although approved of by Mr. Gladstone, was die-
cutteued by Lord Grey, and then resort was bad to
the present ticket-of-leave system, combined with increased
transportation to Van Diemen's Land, against which the
cooloalst- were now calling out loudly.
