We learn by telegraph that the Champion of the
Bees arrived off Liverpool this morning with 92,000
ounces of gold on freight.
Great secrecy continues to be observed in the with-
drawal of gold from the Bank for exportation, but it is
known that at least 100,0001. was taken out yesterday.
The Bank of France continues a buyer of gold in this
market, as its position imperatively demands, and
there seems no prospect whatever that thole pur-
chases will Deese ; but we are assured that there is no
foundation for the rumour transmitted from Paris that
the Bank of France has just entered into contracts
with eminent parties in London for the sup-
ply of a fixed sum of 6,400,0001. in gold.
The overdue supplies of gold from Australia
ars impatiently awaited, inasmuch as they would for
the time obviate the necessity of having recourse to
the Bank for the means of meeting the foreign demand
for the precious metal. It is scarcely necessary to
remark that the movements of bullion are watched
with the closest attention, owing to the general belief
that, should the existing rates of discount prove insuffi-
cient to cheek the drain upon the Bank's metallic
stock, a further advance in the Bank terms will be
made.

To-morrow will be " making-up day" in the share
market.
The Asia has arrived from New York with
190,0001. in specie, a portion of which is probably on
Coatinental amount. The whole of this remittance is
expected to be immediately sent away.
,The corn market yesterday was dull. Fine wheat
was nominally quoted the earns as last Monday; but
secondary qualities were not saleable unless at a ra
diction of le. to 2s. per quarter. The arrivals of
foreign grain in London last week were large. The
arrivals off the coast since last Friday comprise only
seven cargoes of grain, of which six are wheat. In
this brush of the market yesterday buyers refused to
pay the extreme rates of last week. Most of the
English sad Irish markets held at the close of lest
week wee dearer, whilst many of the French markets
ars reported flat.
From correspondenes forwarded to us by the Coto-
mitts, of Spanish American Bondholder., relative to
the Bona Ayres foreign debt, it appears that Mr.
Giro, the bondholders' commissioner has returned to
London to consult with his conetitimente; and that
the Buenos Ayres Government is about to transmit
to the bondholders by the next mail, through-Masers.
Basing Brothers and Co., farther proposals for the
settlement of the debt.

An auction of the foreign redeemable debt of Spainl
is to take place at Madrid on the 31st inst.; for
which purpose 376,000 reale have been wigged by
the government.
Thursday next has been appointed special settling
day in the lksek Exchange for the new preference
shares of the Netherlands Imre Enclosure Company,
and foe the Five per Cent. 74 Ouarenteed Shame of
the North British Railway Company, with leave in
each ow to be officially marked.

The following circular has been addressed by
the Committee of the Stock Exchange to the se-
cretaries of the various railway companies. The
initiative taken by the committee in this matter does
them much credit, and will tend greatly to the pro-
tection of the public. Any companies which hence-
forth permit laxities of the description referred to
will expose themselves to severe census after the
admonition now administered. The public have
hitherto had a high opinion of the superiority of the
sahriards surrousding inscribed share property, u
compared with bonds; but the revelations made in
connexion with the Crystal Palace frauds have given
a shock to this feeling of security. We trust the
Stock Exchange Committee will not refrain from
farther measures of a more particular bearing in the
event of future delays or other laxities being brought
under their attention.

LONDOX: STOOL RICRANOI, RAILWAYS DEPARTMENT,
October 13, 1836.
Dear 81r,—Ice emsezion with recent alleged irregularities
is the share department of the Crystal Palace Company, it
hes been represented to the oommittee of the Stock Es-
sheep that broken naive frequent rompleicts from their
priceipals, of the delay which Man, la come aloes, be•
twins' the deposit of a manna with the eompany and the
receipt of the Meek coupon by the purchaser ; three weeks
or a mesa would appear to be no uncommon period, aad
instances have been adduced involving delays still mors in-
tended. lea therefore desired by the committee to 'enrol-
ling the extreme Ineonenience and danger to purchasers
occasioned by the practice alluded to; sad, penusded be-
forehand of your readiness to consider any suggestion tend• I
log to ensure the public safety, to submit the expediency of
such arrangements being made in the company's Triode:
dam, as will reduce the interval in question to the shortest
possible period. You will of course understand that this
oommunication is not made invidiously as regards your
own company, but rather in the form of a suggestion for
the public good.—l am, dear Sir, your obedient servant,
Mums, SLACONTIR., Secretary-

MONDAY EV1711740.

The funds were fairly supported in the morning,
but gave way in the afternoon. The 4 o'clock quota-
tions were percent. below the final rates of Satur-
day; and after the recognised hones of business a
further reduction of 1 per cent. was established.
Saturday's rally is thus quite lost. The public con-
tinue to invest to a fair extent, and this process of
absorption of stock will be stimulated by the
reinvestments of the recipients of dividends;
but, on the other hand, the continued of-
flux of gold from the Bank checks all
tendency towards recovery. A special meeting of
the directors of the Bank of England is understood
to have been held today, and this foot contributed to
promote an uneasy feeling. Rumours are freely
circulated that the Bank authorities are disposed to
abbreviate the period for loans upon stock. Other
measures of a similarly restrictive tendency are also
hinted at as not improbable, but nothing of an
official character has transpired upon the subject. An
bonus in the demand for mosey in the Stock
Exchange, and news of a decided fall on the Paris
Bourse, contributed to depress the funds this after-
-00011.

In answer to applications made to the Bank to-day
to renew advances made upon stock, them loans were
renewed until tomorrow, when the dividends will
be payable to the public.
