PARIS, FaIDLT
Ins Bank of Francis monthly returns, which were
oo.tel for with unusual impatience, are generally
considered better thin they were expected to be. It
appears from them that the metallic reserve has de-
Cined both in the Paris and branch establishments—in
the former 2:5 =lamas, and in the latter 26; mil-
lions. The discount accommodation has been in-
creased in Paris 40} millions, and in the provinces
41; millions. Advances on French securities have
fallen oft two millions in Paris, and have in-
creased halt a million in the departments. Ad-
vances on railway meuritini show an augmen-
tation of 31 millions in Paris, and of two millions
in the branch banks. The item of advances to the
State, by the treaty of June 30, 1848, is at present
only 55 millions, five millions having been paid back
by the government within the month. On the side
of the liabilities the notes in circulation have in-
creased both in Paris and in the departments—in
the former 16; millions, and in the latter 61 mil-
lions. The account current of the Treasury shows
a diminution of 13; millions. Private accounts cur-
rent have increased 27 millions in Paris, and de-
clined half a million in the provinose. The whole
amount of the metallic reserve at present is 232
millions, with 832 millions of notes in circulation.
Now although the rumour prevalent on the Bourse
during the week that there was a diminution of be-
tween 40 and 50 millions on the metallic reserve is
confirmed, the fact, as explained by other items, is
neither extraordinary nor alarming. There is an
increase of 88 millions in the discount accommoda-
tion which was not expected, and instead of a consi-
derable augmentation in the advances on public '
&scarifies, which had been feared, there has been but
an insignificant increase of three millions. Indeed
the advances on Rentes have diminished by nearly
three millions. The increase is entirely under the
head of advances upon railway shares and
augmentations. There is always a greet demand
for money at this time of the year to buy new wool
and silks. The situation is evidently better than last
mason, for the returns of July 12, 1855, showed that,
while the metallic reserve had declined 83 millions,
the 'scream on the discount accommodation was only

71 millions. On the item showing a diminution of
131 millions in the account current of the Treasury,
it is to be remarked that, daring the month of June,
the Treasury has repaid the Bank five millions on
account of the advances made pursuant to the treaty of
June 30, 1848. The figures, 332,659 fr. 78e., premiums
paid for the purchase of gold and silver, indicate that
the bank has bought as mach as thirty millions of
bullion; but having regard to the pressers of com-
mercial necemities above alluded to, it is observed
that this specie cannot have gone out of France, and
mut return to the bank cellars in the course of a
few months. On the whole, while those sonstorned
to me financial matters couleur do rose, described the
returns as emi►ently satisfactory; the habitual
grumblers say very little to the contrary.
The Bourse wu very inanimate, but several items
it the bank returns being considered pedalo:dory,
there was no material fall. The Rent* fell 100. for
sash, and 6c. for account, closing at 71fr. 800., and
71fr. 80e. To give an idea of the extraordinary
stagnation of affairs, It may be mentioned that meet
of the parquet brokers were lounging about all day
outside the ring waiting for orders. Railways were
firm. Mediterranean was in demand, and rose 16fr.
Credit Mandist fell 61r.

The only new of the Rowena is that ha oontiness
to asks walking and riding excursions in the
seighboarhood of Plombieree. On the 9th, after
taking a walk on the St. Loupthed, he went in a
terrier towards lipinal.and returned as foot as far as
the weed jest Gaud& Plesabieres, en which stands
&states of the Virgin, which he went to look at. At
the village ot Rrraitage several peasants were
allowed to approach his Majesty sad present pad-
ees.

The evaseation of the Crimea by the French
troops having bees completely terminated on the
6th, sad the laadiag of the allied army having taken
piste ea September 14, 1864, it follows that the
Frank meepation lasted twenty-one months sad
twenty days. As however the &abode°, pima os
February 1, 1866, by Russia to the preliminaries of
poor, was followed by a easpeolies of arms, tram

M. Beason, Minister of the Interior, returned
this evening. Inseadiary fires have been lit up in
various parts of the province of Toledo, but without
doing roach damage. An investigation has been
instituted.

A letter from Munich says that Prince Adalbert,
wbo,se already announced, is to marry Donna Amelia

the dividend claim,. The pared character of
return accounts for the maintenance of the Bank's
rate of dimount.

Two o'Ciocz.

The funds opened flatly, but have once ad-
vanced, owing to a large purchase for the Court
of Chancery. Prices are now quoted i per cent.
higher than they closed yesterday, Consols
standing at 951 to 1 en div. for money, and 961 to
96 for the 7th of August. The Three per Cent
Reduced have been dealt in at 961 to 96 ; the New
Three pee Cents. at 961 to 97 ; Exchequer Bills at
17s. to 22a. prom.; Exchequer Bonds at 1001 to 1;1
and India Bonds at 20e. to 235. prem.
Foreign stocks are quiet, with no important change !I
in price. Turkish Six per Cents. are rather firmer,
being marked Kai and 103 j. The other sales include
Brazilian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., at 97i ; Buenos
Ayres, at 86 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., at
851 ; Mexican, for account, at 23i and 23 ; Russian
Five per Cents. at 1121; ditto Four-and-a-Half per
Cents. at 99 and 981 ex div. ; Spanish Old Three
per Cents. at 461 and 48 for account ; and the Com-
mittee's Certifs. at 61 and 61 per cent.
The demand for gold for exportation continues, but
the parties engaged in these remittances prefer to
wait for fresh arrivals, instead of drawing upon the
Bank's stock. The Bank's fixed price for selling
gold is 31.175. lOid. per oz. standard, and for buying,
81.175. 9d. Under ordinary circumstances, intending
exporters of bar gold to the Continent are eager to
intercept the precious metal upon its arrival here en
route to the Bank, as by this means they save the
difference of lid. per oe., or at least a portion of that
difference. The 30,0001. ex the Arago is expected to
be in hand to-day, and to be sent away.
The sum brought in by the Gertrude, from Con-
stantinople, is 200,0001. The Catharine Adamson,
from Sydney, has on freight only 1,610 ounces of
gold and 9,876 sovereigns, worth together about
16,9001.
The Sydney Griffiths has arrived from Portland
Bay, and the Victoria Regis from Adelaide, but
neither of these vessels is known to have any gold
on freight.
The corn market yesterday was quiet, but firm.
Wheat was held at fully Monday's prices, and in some
cases ls. per qr. more was asked. Since Friday week no
lem than 80 &sting cargoes of grain have arrived off
the coast—viz., 29 of wheat, 28 of Indian corn, and 3
of beans. Amongst these is the Beatrice, with wheat
from Odessa, being the fiat arrival from that port
since the conclusion of peace.
The prospectus of the Calcutta and South-Eastern
Railway Company is announced. The capital is
fixed at one million, in 60,000 shares of 201.,
on which the deposit is limited to 2s. per
sham The immediate object is to con meet
Calcutta with the head of the Mutlah River,
a distance of 2$ miles, over a country which
is described by competent authorities as presenting
almost a dead level. At the latter point it is proposed
to construct wet dooks, in connexion with the rail.
From the reports of the government engineers, it
appears that there is nothing to prevent the largest
ships from proceeding up the Mutlah River at all
times, and that the engineering facilities for the pro-
posed railway are remarkably great. As avoiding the
difficult anddangerous n avigation of the RiverHooghly,
it is assumed that the Madill maybe advantageously
made, to a great extent, the port of Calcutta, and
that the traffic will be very large. The sum required
for makingadouble line of railway from Calcutta to the
Mntlah is estimated by Colonel Baker, the consulting
engineetto the government of India, at 568,0001. Upon
the entire completion of this portion of the under-
taking, it is contemplated to ultimately extend the
line to Chittagong, Armen, &o. The Indian autho-
rities in this country have been communicated with,
and the directors state that they rely with confi-
de's°, upon the support of the home government
and East India Roues. No guarantee of interest has
yet been solicited, bat the hope is held out that,
should the East India Company take further atop.
in this direction, this company will receive favoura-
ble consideration. Until the completion of a single
line of railway from Calcutta to the Matlah, inte-
rest at the rats of 6 per cent, per annum is to be
paid by the company on all calls.
Another new project is the "St. James's Hall
Company," provisionally registered under the
Limited Liability Act, for providing a building suit-
able for musical performances upon an extensive
scale at the West-end. It is mentioned that a site
peculiarly eligible for the purpose has been secured,
and that the building will have the advantage of
four distinct entrances, with frontages in Regent-
street and Piccadilly. Thep capital is fixed at 40,0001.
In 101. shares, on which the deposit is to be 21. A
sum of 10s. per share is to be lodged upon sub-
scribing.
Mr. David Waddington, the chairman of the
Eastern Counties Railway, announces his "intention
immediately alter the approaching half-yearly
meeting of the company, to retire from the seat in
the direction,* to which the shareholders recently re-
elected him. His remarks in explanation of this
step are rather segue, but appear to indicate that
some of the measures which he proposes encounter
inoonvenient opposition from his epilogues at the
board.

FRIDAY EVINING.

We are informed that several holders of Guatemala
Bonds intend presenting a memorial to Lord Claren-
don, praying that he will insist upon a just and ade-
quate settlement of their claims, amounting to about
170,0004 in case the Island of Rutin should be
oeded to any Central American State. Not a single
dividend has been paid by Guatemala Niece 1827 ; the
I overdue coupons amount therefore to 180 per coat.
The advice, from Constantinople mention that a
project is on foot for the construction of docks in the
111ohorus.
The directors of the North of Europe Steam Com-
pany have declared a half-yearly dividend at the rate
of 8 per cent. per annum.

The monthly return of the Bank of France,
SS made wp to Thursday lut, the 10th of July,
shows the following results (the exchange taken at
261. to the pound):

Coin and bullion £9 272,400 Decreue£2,l72.4oo
Bills discounted
Notes is circulation
Tummy deposits
Private &omits
Advances on Franck go-
vernment amorltles
Advances on midway secu-
rities

The striking feature in this return is the heavy de-
crease of more than two millions sterlicg in the bul-
lion, and the increase of three millions and a half in
the bills diaeounted. Concurrently with the serious
decline in its metallic resources, the Bank's note cir-
culation has increased by 806,8001. The enormous
increase in the diaconate must be interpreted as indi-
cating a sudden revival in the mercantile demand for
accommodation, and assists to explain the efflux
of gold from the Bank. The payment of
the divideade which fell due on the Three
per Cant. Bented on the 22nd ult. must
also have required a considerable amount of coin,
and aocounts for the decreeee in the Tressury balances
and tor the increase in the private deposits. After
making every allowance, however, the falling off in
the coin and bullion forms a very serious teature,
and leads to the inference that the Bank of France
will oontinue to draw gold from England, to the
derangement of our market. The general position of
the institution is evidently weakened.
The return of the Bank of England for the week
ending Saturday, July 5, when compared with the
preying return, shows the following restilts:

The Stock Exchange war generally flat to-day,
owing to the anticipation of an unfavourable return
from the Bank of England, coupled with the de.
cidedly unsatisfactory balanoe•sheet jut issued by
the Bank of France. The decline in the funds wee
limited to s per cent., but the other departments of
the house were marked by increased heavinees,
especially the railway share market. The uncer-
tainty which prevails as regards the extent of the
future remittances of gold to the Continent exercises
an unfavourable influence. It is oonfirmed that the
Bank of France is at present a steady buyer of gold in
this market. Under these circumstances, although
the rates of discount out of doors oontinue decidedly
below -

those of the Bank, a further reduction of the
Bank terms is considered improbable at present, and
speculators who had purchased in anticipation of this
event are now selling.

day. The Guaranteed Four per Cents. receded 1 per

curities were also more offered. Other stocks
were quiet, with less disposition to purchase.
Buenos Ayres Bonds are marked 86 to 881.
In the foreign exchanges this afternoon, the rates
on Holland, Paris, and Frankfort were quoted a little
higher, a feature which may be partly occasioned by
the recent heavy remittances of gold to the continent.
Paper on Vienna met with We demand. In the case
of Hamburg the quotation ruled much the same as on
Tuesday.
Great dissatisfaction is expressed in the Stock Ex-
change at the unusual delay in the allotment of the
shares of the Ceylon Railway, and also at the fact
that, now that the allotment has at length been
made, the members of the house appear to have been
altogether excluded from the distribution. Owing to
the scanty character of the allotment, the shares ex-
perienced a considerable rise, but closed below the
best point of the day, at 2to n prem. We cannot
help thinking that the best security against future
disappointments of a similar nature would be attained
by a refusal on the part of the members to deal in the
attires of new companies previous to the allotment.
Though nominally discouraged by the rules of the
Stock Exchange, the practice of dealing in securities
which, at the date of the bargains, have inexistence,
is becoming injuriously extended.

In the metal market the decline in the price of
copper has caused many orders to be given out, mer-
chants being desirous to avail themselves of it to
replenish their rtocks, which run had become very
smalL The makers are now fairly supplied with
orders, and it is hoped the demand will continue
steady. In iron, the determination of the Stafford-
shire masters to keep prices firm ha had a beneficial
effect on the market, as orders are being given out
which had been kept back for some time in the ex-
pectation of a fall in prices. The orders received from
the United States by the last mail have been consider-
able, sod a good export demand is expected abort:y.
In Scotch pig there has been little variation. Lead
remains quiet, but there hu been rather more dis-
position to do bulimia. Tin has declined in price u
anticipated, 41. per ton.
