The monthly return of the Bank of France, which
will be published in London to-morrow, is looked
forward to with
_great ;anxiety. It is believed that
the Bank is making great often to procure fresh
supplies of bullion at the present moment, with a
view to making a good show in the forthcoming ba-
lanoe.shest. In addidon to the considerable sums in
gold which have been drawn daily from the Bank of'!
Ragland for some time past, further parcels were

la dims withdrawals, but it is believed they
Ispasented yesterday upwards of 40,00 W. There
is as idea in some quarters that this temporary ob-
Fbeing as far es possible attained, the Bank of
rance will now ;casein these operations, and await
the long expected supplies from Australia, which are
now overdue. In the event, however, of the premiere
open the French Bank cootinning ewers, the diree-
Ins will of course be compelled, unless the oontin-
gsss of a suspension of cash payments he admitted,
to continue the drain of gold from the Bank of
England, or from any other available quarter, re-
gardless of the immediate loss attendant upon the
operation.
In emergence of the recent arrangement of the
foreign debt of Po4.pal all theses of Portngnrse

gold from Africa.
The steamer Madrid has taken oat about 6,00 W. in
specie for the Peninsula.
The corn market yesterday was firm, at last Mon.
day's rates. The arrivals of foreign grain in London
are considerable. The number of grain laden vessels
arrived off the coast since last Friday is 24, of which
13 cargoes consist of wheat and 9 of Indian eon.
Most of these cargoes have already been sold. To-
day the tendency of prices in this branch of the
market was upwards. l'iearly all the country mar-
kets held yesterday report an advance of Is. to 2a.
per quarter in wheat. The French markets are quiet.
According to private advicee received yesterday
front several districts north of the Humber, the gran
crops exhibit a deficiency. The potato crop is also
unfavourably spoken of.
The call of 44 per share just enamored in Pads
upon the shares of the French-Austrian Railway
Company, involving a total of 1,600,00 W., must
weigh heavily upon the market at the present period
of difficulty. A call of 44 has also just been made
upon the shares of the Panto-Amen= Company,
payable batmen the 16th and Slat instant. A
notice has likewise been issued to the shareholders

of the Gnat Central Railway Company of France,
healing them of the necessity of immediately
poring the call of 41. pmr share which fell due on the
nth nit. These constant demands militate greatly
' against any rally on the Boone.
A failure was announced in the Stock Exchange
Lail=lbat the amount involved is not believed to
cable. The losses appear to have partly
aimed through dealings in Crystal Palace shares.
Is the BWrruptey Court yesterday the summons
boned against Mr. Alderman Kennedy, in respect of

It appears from the report just issued by the
diresters of the Great Western Railway Company of
Grands. that, although a surplus of 8,0551. is carried
forward to the current half-year, after payment of a
dividend at the rate of 8 par cent. per annum, this
rate of distribution is only maintained through the
directors prong to the credit of "menu" a sum of
27,0004 ended from premiums on shares and hoods
of the company which have been sold in the market.
As sae of the redoes foe this arrangement, the report
eteseves, "the ass of the amount at the present time
having the effect of maintaining the rate of dividend
hitherto paid." The directors, however, express a
hope that the same rats of dividend will be paid
during the current six maths "without extraneous
assistance."

The funds showed a decided barium of firmness
this morning, and a resovery of I per cent. wm at
one time attained. In the afternoon, however, a
reaction set in, sad the closing quotations were

almost ultaitMal with those of yesterday. The public
