Turkish Si Aer Cents. have been in strong request

but the price has since relapsed to 891 to
903 exp. The Guaranteed Four per Cents. are

The quantity of specie brought in by the Orinoco,
from the West Indies, &o. is 1,000,24t1 dole., or about
212,00 W., of which the bulk is believed to oonsist of
silver. The other arrivals reported last week corn-
pries 190,0001. (of which 76,300/. was on French ao-
count) by the Asia, from New York ; 92,000 enmity
of gold by the Champion of the Bees, from Mel-
bourne; 212 ounces by the Star of Peace, from
Sydney ; 6,000 dole. by the Kangaroo, from Phila-
delphia; 8,0001. by the Easing, from the Peninsula ;
and 1,9001. by the Colombo, from Alexandria.
Tne total value of the week's arrivals is not lees
than 780,0001. Amongst the imports of silver from
Antwerp we also notice 46 packages by the Baron
Osy, and 38 bags by the Raveesbourne.
The shipments have also been considerable. The
Custom-house statement of the exports of the pre-
cious metals direct from London during the week
eeding Thursday last includes 998 oz. of gold and
46,480 oz. of silver, worth in all about 16,5001. The
details are as follows :—Gold coin, to Boulogne.
100 oz.; to St. Petersburg, 898 oz. ; silver coin, to
Boulogne, 400 oz.; silver bars, to Hamburg, 46,08d0z,
The shipments of specie and bullion by the Indus.
which will leave Southampton for Alexandria to-
day, amount to 602,0911., of which 8,9801. is gold
and 403,1111. silver. This vessel takes no direct mail
for China. The particulars are subjoined, viz.:—
For Alexandria, gold, 1,8001.; for Bombay, silver
193,9811.; for Ceylon, gold, 5,300/.; for Madras,
gold, 1,8801., and silver, 10,1401. ; and for Calcutta,
giver, 288,9901. The Atrato has also taken out 1,2001.
in specie for the West Indies; and the Fuxin',
16,3001. for the Peninsula.
The total shipments of the week, as officially re-
ported, are thus raised to 636,00 W., nearly all in
silver. The private remittances to the Continent have
comprised, in addition, the whole of the gold ex the
Champion of the Seas and Asia, besides some parcels
drawn from the Bank of England.
We do not hear of any more gold having been
taken from the Bank during the last day or two, the
supplies brought by the Champion of the Bess and
Asia having apparently satisfied the Continental re-
quirements for the mamma. Further arrivals of the
precious metal are looked for with impatienee, PS
otherwise it is feared that recourse will ere long be
had to the stook at the Bank. _ _ _

The specie ex the Orinoco is expected to be deli-
vered about Wednesday next.

veyance of soldiers' wives and children to Gibraltar,

SATURDAY ETINIXO.

The tendency of the stock markets to day was
again in the direction of a rally, the Bank return
being leas unfavourable than was anticipated, and the

public ; and, although the tone of the market at the
close was not so strong u in the morning, the Anal
quotations were still per cent. above those of yea.
