The seat remarkable changes here exhibited con-
sist of the Worms in the other or private securities,
and the decrease in the bullion and reserve.

Our list of the quantities of the precious metals that
have reached our ports during the week is as fol-
lows:—By the Africa, about 800,000 dole. ; by the
screw steamer Andes, 150,000 dole. ; and by the
Washington about a quarter of a million of dollars,
all three from New York ; 600 ounces of gold by the
Undine, and 744 ounces by the John Sonchay, both
from Van Diemen's Land; and 1,550!. in specie by the
Iberia from Gibraltar and Portugal. This afternoon we
are also advised of the arrival at Liverpool of the City
of Glasgow, with 180,000 dole. on freight, from
Philadelphia, and of the Eagle, at the same port,
with 64,000. ounces of gold (as stated in the telegra-
phic despatch), valued at 256,0001., from Melbourne,
whence she sailed on the 28th of July. These sums
may be taken to represent an aggregate value of
about 535,000!. sterling, of which 2,1,0001. was from
New York, and 260,0001. from Australia. About
two-thirds of the receipts by the Andes, however, the
major part of the specie freight of the Washington,
and a considerable portion of that of the Africa, are
stated to have been destined for the continent ; so
that the actual arrivals for this market must be con-
siderably less than the aggregate sum above stated.
The shipments have also been rather heavy. The
Custom-house account of the exports of the precious
metals direct from Londan during the week ending
Thursday last includes 20,818 ounces and 3001. in
gold, and 38,950 minces of silver, representing an ag-
gregate value of rather more than 90,000!. sterling,
chiefly in
.gold for the continent. The statement
in detail is as follows:—Gold coin: To Hamburg,
7,740 ounces; to Calais, 3,000 ounces; to Belgium,
2,650 ounces; to the Mauritius, 1,428 ounces. Gold
bars : To Boulogne, 6,000 ounces ; to Hamburg, 3001.
Silver coin : To Hamburg, 4,600 ounces. Silver bars:
To Hamburg, 32,350 ounces.
The other shipments reported to us comprise
284,330!., of which only 10,750/. was in gold, and
the rest in silver, be the Indus, for Alexandria and
the East, 61,899!., chiefly in bar gold (besides 3,5001.
in jewellery), by the Orinoco for the West Indies
and the Isthmus • and 2501. in specie by the Tagus,
for Gibraltar. The total ascertained shipments from
the kingdom for the week, are thus raised to about
336,0007., of which the major part was in silver.
Allowance must also be made for the shipments of
gold to France, which have been going on during the
whole week via the Kentish and other ports.

Land shares remain very dull. Australian Agri-
cultural were rather cheaper, closing 33 to 34. In

for the new issue 3-16 to 5.16 prem. London Dock
