A farther eon ofeiont 60,0001. in gold is known to
have been taken from the Bonk yesterday for expor-
tation to the Continent. These are not ordinary ex-
change operations, but are presumed to be ocouwned
by purchuse of silver on the Continent, coupled with
the steady investments on English account in the
chief French securities.

The shipments of specie and bullion by the
Enxine, which is to leave Southampton for Alexan-
dria this day, ars even larger than we had said-
paMd, amounting to the sepreeedmited sum of
810,3224, of which only 42,6261. is in gold, the re-1
meaning 787,7974 conmating entirely of silver. The
shipments ars chieSy swelled to this extraordinary ex-
tent by an increase in the demand fordollars for China.
The amount despatched to the three Chinese porta is
no less than 468,4371., being more than one-half of
the total remittances. The particulars are subjoined,
viz.: For Alexandria, gold, 29,1004, and silver,

We notice that the General Bank of Switzerland,
with a view to 'WSW* transactions in the French
Restos, intend to take upon themselves the risk of
transmission of the scrip certificates, and also to pay
the dividends on all stock purchased through them.
There is no ?moon why the English public, which
invests so largely in the bonds issued by nearly
every state of Europe and America, should not ex-
tend equal favour to French government mock.
That this disposition is gaining ground is proved by
the resent extensive investments of English capital
in French securities. In Paris there are constant
discussion' as to the best mode of inducing the
English public to take an interest in the French
feeds, and it is everywhere admitted that the first
step in this direction must consist of arrangements
for the payment in London, tree of °barge, of the
dividends on the Ratites.
