FIVE MINUTES PAST Two.
Consols are slightly flatter, at 9511 " sellers," for
the account.

The steamer Royal Charter has arrived off Queens-
town from Melbourne, after a quick passage of 58
days, with advice, about a week later than those
by the last mail. The amount of gold brought by
this weed has yet to be ascertained. The Asia, from
New York, has brought 45,000!. in specie.
The tenders for the 423,6001. of Victoria Govern-
ment Six per Cent. Debentures, forming part of a
total of 7,000,0001. (of which the first batch, amount-
ing to 1,000,0001., was negotiated in January last),
were opened yesterday at the London andNestminster
Bank. The attendance of gentlemen interested was
large. Mr. Donald Larnach, Chairman of the
Bank of New South Wales, presided. The tenders,
nearly 300 in number, having been opened, the gen-
tlemen composing the committee of the six banks
associated in the transaction were about to retire,
when it was represented, on behalf of the tenderer'
present, that it would be more satisfactory were
the minimum or reserved price, contained in a sealed
letter lying on the table, made known. The commit-
tee hesitated for a few minutes, and one of the mem-
bers explained that they had come to the determina-
tion not to state the minimum price, in the event of
the whole amount being taken at an advance upon
that price. This explanation, followed by the with-
drawal of the committee, was not by any means well
received, bat the feeling of dissatisfaction was
promptly allayed by accession of the committee to
the expressed wish of the persons present : the letter
was opened, and the minimum declared to be 108
per cent. The result of an examination of the ten-
ders shows that the aggregate applied for is 1,860,7001.,
of which 723,0001. is above the minimum. The

highest bid was 109, and the lowed 971, but the
latter, it was said, involved a clerical error, the price
meant being ten per cent. higher. An amended
tender from this bidder, put in after the opening of
the rest, was rejected. The average price of the
whole has not yet transpired, but is probably between
1081 and 1081. The result of the adjudication willl
be that, of the tenders above the minimums, all the
highest will be accepted in full, and others in part.
The bidders of 108, or a trifling fraction over, will
get none. Amongst the tenderer, for the principal
sums were the following firms, viz. :—Mesers•
Hitcbens and Harrison ; Mullen., Marshall, and Co.;
P. Cezenove and Co.; George Burnand and Co. ; I
(lapel, Norbury, and Co. ; Haggard, Hale, and
Pixley; Hill, Fawcett, and Hill; Steer, Cuerton
and Lawford ; Sebag ; F. Geilatly ; Linton and Clarke:
D. Salmons, and Raphael and Son.
Late in the afternoon the price of the New Bonds
advanced to 109 to 1.
The demand for money yesterday was brisker, and
the supply rather limited. It was, consequently, diffi-
cult to get even the best bills discounted at 21 per
cent., 21 being generally insisted upon. There wu,
however, no revival of business at the Bank.
At Amsterdam yesterday the Austrian Metallic.
opened at a decline of 1 per cent., probably in an-
swer to a reduction of about / per cent. which took
place at Vienna on Saturday.
The New Indian Loan, in which yesterday was
" settling day," was strengthened by continued with-
drawals by investors, and advanced 1 per cent. The
scrip was last quoted 1031 to 1, and tke stock, 1031
to 1.
About 18,0001. in bar gold was taken from the
Bank yesterday for exportation to the Continent. The
whole of the 118,0001. Australian, by the Yorkshire,
has been purchased for the same destination, to-
gether with 18,0001. in Russian and Turkish gold
coin which has just came to band. The British
Trident has arrived from Melbourne (in 79 days) with
131,0001. in gold, which will also be meat away.
The Orwell, which was to leave Melbourne for
England about the 20th of August, is known to have
at least 77,0001. in gold. The advioes by the corning
Australian mail are also expected to announce the
departure for this country of the undermentioned
vessels, with large consignments of gold, viz. :—The
Andromache, Switture, Red Jacket, and Royal
Charter.
It is anticipated that the shipments of silver by
the Bombay steamer of the 27th inst. will not ex-
ceed 200,00u1. or 250,0001., inclusive of 150,0001. on
government account. Government, it is said, will
remit a considerable sum to China by the following
packet.
The bar silver by the last West India packet has
been sold for the East at ss. 11d. per ounce standard,
being the same price as that obtained for the previous
supply. In the interval, however, sales have oc-
curred at 5.. 2d.
The ships Ellen Rodger and Thracian have arrived
from China with 1,415,400 lbs. of tea. One of them
brings the new season's cocgou, of which some small
sales have been made at 2s. 7d. to 2s. Bd. per lb.

holders in the London General Omnibus Company

9,5001.; that the dividend on the paid-up capital was
fixed at the rate of 6 per cent.; and that the com-
pany had organised branches in London, Manchester,
and Glasgow, besides agencies in many of the prin-
cipal towns of the kingdom. A motion for
a dividend of 5 per cent. was carried, and thanks
wen voted to the directors and manager.
