There were no transactions in bullion yesterday at
the bank, but 50,000 sovereigns were withdrawn for
exportation to Brazil The Vanderbilt has arrived
from New York with 77,00 W. for England, of
which 30,0001. is in Mexican dollars.
The Blue Jacket sailed from Melbourne for Eng-
land on the 17th of June, and is known to have
372 ounces of gold, worth 125,0001.
The Mexican dollars by the last packet have
been sold for China, principally on account of the
English and French governments, at se. 2did. per
ounce, showing a rise of id. compared with the
pries obtained for the remittance by the previous
Mexican steamer. This price is thought a favoura-
ble one, considering the magnitude of the supply.
The bar silver has not yet been sold, the demand
for India being slack, while exporters to the Con-
tinent are holding back for a reduction.
The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon ex-
perienced no alteration of importance. In some
cases bills were in demand, and the tendency rather
flat. The rates are shown below :

Masers. James Reinach and Co., tea merchants,
of Great Tower-street, have failed. It is feared
that the liquidation will be unsatisfactory.
Mr. G. Holborow, wholesale cheesemonger, of
Clare-street, has also stopped payment. His lia-
bilities are estimated at only about 8,0001.
It appears that the Melbourne Commercial Cir-
cular, just to band, which announce, the failure of
Messrs. Cornish and Bruce, railway contractors,
has exaggerated the matter. We learn that the
government of Victoria having withheld payment
of a large sum due for work done, Memos. Cornish
and Bruce, with a view to put a pressure upon the
government and enforce a settlement, suspended
the payment of the workmen. The government
engineer subsequently passed the works in question,
payments were resumed, and at the date of the
departure of the mail all was going on satiafac-
torily.
A report that the Grand Trunk Railway Com-
pany of Canada contemplate bringing an action
against the Great Ship Company to recover 60,0001.
damages, incurred through the latter company's
breech of contract in not sending the Great Eastern
to Portland, is very inaccurate. The facts
of the case stand thus. The oorporation of
Portland, in anticipation of the arrival of the Great
Eastern in their port, advanced 60,000 'dollars
(12,0000 to the Grand Trunk Railway Company,
with a view to the provision of adequate accommo-
dation. The Grand Trunk Company, who them-
selves expended a like sum of 60,000 dollars for
the same purpose, appear to have no intention of
appealing to the law for redress ; but it is said that
the corporation of Portland contemplate adopting
that step, in order to obtain compensation for the
fruitless expenditure of the sum advanced by them.
The dividend of the London and Blackwell Rail-
way Company was officially announced yesterday
at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum, against 21 at
the corresponding period of last year, and that of
the North London Railway Company at the rate
of 5 per cent. per annum, being the same as that
declared for the corresponding period of 1859.
The half-yearly meeting of the General Iron
Screw Collier Company took place yesterday. The
operations of the past half-year exhibit a net profit
of 4,534/1 after the payment of all charges, out of
which a dividend at the rate of 10 pea cent. per
annum was recommended and agreed to. A sum
of 70,0001. has been offered for the company's fleet,
being 10,0001. above the previous offer, but certain
conditions stipulated by the directors were not com-
plied with, so that the negotiation has fallen to
the ground.
At the meeting of the Mediterranean Extension
Telegraph Company yesterday the directors' report
I was adopted. It announced that they are unable
to recommend a dividend upon the original shares,
but proposed the payment of the interest due on
the preference shares.
The half-yearly meeting of the Eastern Counties
Railway Company is convened for the 21st inst.
It appears that the motive of the Stock Exchange
Committee in withholding the privilege of quota-
tion in the official list from the shares of the Latium.
Coal Company is, firstly, the small number of the
shares ; and secondly, the fact that the bulk of
them have been taken privately.
The Norman Morrison has arrived from China

The following is from the Singapore intelligence
in the London and China Telegraph :
The telegraphic cable between this and Batavia has been
broken for the last six weeks, and great difficulty is ex-
perienced in repairing it. The fracture is close to this ; but
what with the rocky bottom and the weal banks, it is •
matter of great difficulty to overhaul it without breaking
it ; added to which, the current, generally mooing four to
five knots an hour, increases the difficulty of the operation.

MINES.-THIS DAY.

Two °Two&

The mining market is as quiet as for some days
paA. The transactions this morning have been
few, and the variation in prices is unimportant.
Business has been chiefly confined to shares in
Toloarne, South Condurrow, Great Caradon, and
East Rosewarne.
St. John del Rey Mining shares are weaker, and
have been sold at 24. Linares have been dealt in
at ; and English and Australian Copper at 2k.
The pmspeotus of the Lower Taldrors and Clodd
Fa Coed Slate Company (Limited) is in circulation.
The object of this company is to purchase and work
a slate quarry, about 134 acres in extent,
situated in the parish of Taldrws, in Car-
narvonshire, and held under a lease for twenty-four
years from May, 1859, at moderate royalties. The
quarry is about eight miles from the port of Car-
parson. Amongst the promsing features are the
small expense at whic ih can be worked. The
capital is fixed at 25,0001., in shares of 21. 10s.
each, and the prospectus contains estimates of large
dividends upon a working capital of 10,0001. The
sum to be paid for the lease and plant is 7,5001., of
which 4,0001. is to be in paid-up shares.
A general meeting of adventurers in Great Wheal

HmTE os LoriWlC—The weekly return of the
Registrar General states that the deaths in London, which
were 975 in either of the two previous weeks, rose to 1,047
in the week that ended last Saturday. The average number
of deaths has been obtained for the weeks corresponding
with last week of the ten years 1830-59 ; and this, with a
correction for increase of population, is 1,287. The deaths
in the present return are, therefore, less by 190 than they
would have been if the average rate of mortality had ruled-
But it is necessary to remark that epidemic cholera had
made some progress in the beginning of August, 1654, and
raised the average, as above stated, higher than it would
have been if derived exclusively from the returns of ordi-
nary years. It is satisfactory to notice the continued de-
crease of the mortality- from smallpox. The disease was
fatal last week in only six cases. But diarrhoea, as u usual
in the present month, continues to increase : in the last
four weeks the deaths from it were 21, 32, 52, and 65. All
of the 65, except 7, occurred amongst young children. There
were also 6 deaths from summer cholera, 5 of whisk
were those of infants. Three deaths from diarrheas. occurred
in the subdistrict of Christchurch, Marylebone, 4 is 'Alin&
ton West, 3 in St. George Bloomsbury, 3 in the South sub-
district of St. Giles, 3 in St. Paul (St. George-in-the-East),
and 3in Briteliff. Diarrher, however, is by no means so
prevalent as it was at the same time last year, when the
deaths from it (in the fur week in August) were 312, and
from cholera 24. Forty-seven children died from measles ;
4 of these in St. Mary (St. George-in-the-Feat). Scarlatina
was fatal in 36 cases, diphtheria in 10. The son of a brick-
layer, 0p42 ran- and the son of a labourer. aged 6. were

died at the age of 95 years, and 3 men at the respective ages
of 92, 94, and 99 years. Last week the births of 921 boys
and 831 girls, in all 1,752 children, were registered in
London. In the ten corresponding weeks of this years
1850-59 the average number was 1,963.

0 the motion that the report of amendments be reerived.
The Manlius of SALISBURY objected to the clause_by
a io. h the bouts ..f age between which persons were liable
to .eret• in the militia had been resluoed from 1$ and 3B to
Is and :id The whole system of the ballot was nothing Ism
than a neat odious form of and it was obvious
that the alteration in the law wo render it more opprer
sive to the class which still remained liable to its opera-

Enrl DE GREY and RIPON denied that the abolition
would make the law more onerous than it wee in 1800 cc
even in 1815, when the limit was between the ages of 18
sod 48. In 1800 the number of male persons between those
ago. was 1.900.000, and in 1818 it was 2.320.000. The
estimated number now between the ages of 18 and 30 was
2;41.251. Of cownme the younger a man was when called
upon to serve, the leis likely it waa to prove of intone,-
weave to hi= By the.. age of 38 a person, especially if he
were a good workman, had protubly 144111Wd some perma-
nent situation, which it would be extremely desirable for
bum to :stain • and the government had therefore thought
it best to relieve: every man who had passel the age of 30
from all apprehension of being mile: upon to nerve. In
1852 the government of the noble earl opprsite reduced
the limit from 4.8 to 35 ; showing that at that time the
noble nueluis dal not insist on the principle of keeping the
art* out of which the militia was recruited as wide as pos-
sible. He (Lord De Grey) might add that the clause had
receive' the approbation of several militia colonels of emi.
orrice, although it had not hail the good fortune to obtain
that .4 the noble marquis. Under these circumstances be
venture' to bap that their lordahips would agree to the
la en. it .toadaa
The amendments OD the bill were then agreed to.
GAME CERTIFICATES BILL.
Thu bill was reed a third time and passed.
RIFLE VOLUNTEER CORPS BILL_

Doi the cedar 'tithe day for the second reading cd this bill.
Earl DE GREY and RIPON moved the resolution
of %irreg. He mid the object et the bill wee to afford
faalittes to volunteer °peps throughout the country to obtain
practice pounds. The bill was introduced in the Other
house by a private member, and it appeared to her
Majesty's government that it was a bill which their lordship
would .lo well to give their median to, and it we. a matter
of real tupecv. It we. quite unnecessary that be .bould
remind their lordships of the public spirit and patriotism
with which the young men of the country bad come forward
is aid of the volunteer movement. Thev had seen in the me-
tropolis a proof of the discipline to which the various corm
in this country bed attained, and hr had no doubt that the
review which her Majesty would hold at Edinburgh this
would show that the corm in Scotland were equally
effi....at. It was essential, however, to the success of the
movement that the rifierom should be good theta. To this
end they eh oeld practise onetinually, and they could only
do th,. havMg geed pactice.gruunds. Conaiderable
colts had bees experimiesd in Tarim. parte of the country
in rnquirlog pounds. This bill when it was first introduced
ntained cougaia, hut that clause had keen
struck out. however, gave facilities for obtaining
the object in view, and he therefore trusted that their lord.
ships would epee to the resolution.
Earl SPENCER remarked that the pod of the rifle amps
movement depended on its permanence, arid be thought
that there were many elements of permanence in it. Drill
eras .roe of those elements and society another, but the
mildest charm of all in volunteering wee rifle shooting.
RMe shooting was highly popular in Switeedand, in
America, and in Germany, sad he saw no reason why it
should not become equally popular in

a charge which had been brought agaitiathini, namely, that
in some remarks he hail made on a former oemaion he had
ignored the services of the local troops.

which hail taken place on this bill had done some
good, by showing that there was • body of men iu
that house who did attach importance to the necessity of
doing justice to the army in India, and he could not
help thinking that it would compel his right
honourshle friend to act in future with couaiderahle
caution in the matter. The House of Conuooes had lei in.
tere-t but to uphold Britoil• power in India, and that would,
he thought, be beet effected by allowing one-third of the
