Some considerable quantities of silver have already
been purchased for transmission to Calcutta and
China by the next steamer; and it is believed that

show, little alteration.
The Kent. from Melbourne, has arrived in the
East India Docks, with 97,888 ounces of gold, valued
at 390,7001. This remittance was delivered yesterday,
and about 150,0001. has already been taken for the
Continent. Unless another parcel of 120,0001. of the
residue be purchased for transmission to Chili, on
account of the loan, by the next steamer, some
amount is likely to be sent into the Bank. The pas-
sage of the Kent to Gravesend occupied 80 days.
The Europa, from Boston, has brought 15,9001. in
specie.
Intelligence is shortly expected to reach London

anti Twy i Bride, with a large amount of grid.
It is apprehended that telegraphic communication
between Cagliari and Malta will not be resumed for
some little time to come. Advice" received in Lon-
don mention that her Majesty's steamer Caradoo had
been placed at the disposal of the agents of the Medi-
terranean Extension Telegraph Company, who were
thus enabled to examine both ends of the cable. The
result of their investigations leads to the belief that
a fracture will be met with about the centre of the
cable, the shore ends being perfect. Fortunately a
steamer belonging to Messrs. Newell and Co., who
originally laid the cable, is now in the Mediterra-
nean, and will prove very useful in the carrying out
of the requisite operations, which will probably in-
clude the raising of the central portion of the cable,
and perhaps the splicing on of a new piece.
Advice@ received from Aden by the Royal Mall
Steam Packet Company mentioa that a new screw
was put in the steamer Oneida on the sth inst. As
the trial trip which took place on the following day
was considered satisfactory, this vessel has doubtless
