about 1 per cent. better than at 4 o'clock yesterday.

investments. In the other departments of the
Stock Exchange much steadiness prevails, notwith-
standing the dulness of badness.

and 911 to 911 for the 7th of June. The present

The arrival is announced of the Morning Star from
Melbourne, with 34,6001. in gold.
In the discount market the feeling of vague alarm
is subsiding, and the leading establishments are en-
couraged by the enormous amount of deposits poured
in upon them to take at the Bank minimum bills
having so long as two months to run. The demand
at the Bank was good, bat not urgent.
The Mermaid, from Melbourne, has brought
63,900/. in gold. This supply, as well as the
128,0001. by the Great Britain, reached London yea.
today, and about two-thirds were taken for the
Continent. The 108,4001. by the Europa, from New
York, also came to hand, and a portion was pro-
chased for exportation. The foreign buyers were
not quite so *Kee as of late.
The Ellen Stuart sailed from Melbourne for Liver-
pool on the 28th Feb., with 28,400/. in gold. Up-
weeds of 400,0001. in Australian gold is now known
to be at see, of which folly roe-half is due.
The steamer Ceylon will take to-morrow 197,3501.
in silver for Bombay, besides 50,0001. in gold foe
Malta. The whole of the gold and 160,0001. of the
silver is transmitted by government.

of the remittances of specie to Bombay by the last
five paskets that the drain is decidedly slackening:

About 150,0001. in silver has arrived in the Thames
during the last day or two from Boulogne and Ant-
werp. Meat of the supplies that have of late reached
London, however, have bees purchased for transmis-
sion to Hamburg and Holland. The silver market
here is firmer, at 821 d. per ounce standard.
