The Express.
London, England, 1853-02-12 00:00:00

At Vienna, on Thursday, the Five per Cent. Me
tallies remained quoted 941, but the exchange on
London had again risen to 10.57.
Hamburg letters of the Bth, received this day,
report that bills on London were in demand, and
scarce. Business was done from 13.31 to a, to 13.51
for short. Discount ruled at 2 per cent. only.
With the exception of Paris, which remained the
same as last post, the market for foreign exchange
tc-day showed an improvement, especially for Ham-
burg, which was done as high as 13.71, and on which
place bills remained over. Amsterdam was done as
high as 11.19 for three months paper; St. Peters-
burg at 37,; to 381, and Frankfort, at 1191 to 1. In
Austrian places thero was an unfavourable reaction
of a decided character. Bills on both Vienna and
Trieste were much offered, and transactions took
place on the latter as high as 11.16. Business gene-
rally was but limited, there being few takers. Our
usual broker's list is annexed :

The price of gold, yesterday, at Paris was about
par (new tariff rate), which, at the English Mint
price of 31. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold,
gives an exchange of 25.17 ; and the exchange at
Paris on London, at short, being 25.05, it follows
that gold is about 0.487 Eer cent. dearer in Paris than
in London.

By to-day's advices, the price of gold at Hamburg
is 420 per mare, which, at the English Mint price
of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives
an exchange of 13.31; and the exchange at Hamburg
on London, at short, being 13.3, it follows that gold
is about 0.234 per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in
London.

According to the last accounts, the course of ex-
change at New York on London for bills at sixty'
days' sight is 1001 per cent., and the par of exchange
between England and America being 100 23.40 per
cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally
O.OS per cent. against England. After making
allowance for difference of interest and charges of
transport, we find that the present rate leaves no
profit on the importation of gold from the United
States, nor on the export of the metal from this side.
The Bank of England return for the week ending
Saturday, the sth February, is as follows :

This rebarnpreesets no feature calculated to excite
unetudeses. The decrease in the bullion had been
anticipated. The "other" or private deposits, conti-
nue to decline, individuals who keep an account at
the Bank doubtless finding that the media of profit-
ably employing money have extended. The private
securities, after experiencing a steady decline since
the second movement of the Bank, show this week
the trifling increase of 51,6471. only, so that there is
no evidence of any rush for discounts at the Bank.
These several changes have caused an augmentation
of only 53,9831. in the Bank's reserve, although the
payments on government account have been flowing
in as usual.
