Paton Esq., in the chair—for the purpose of bringing before
' Sir John Lawrence the injurious effect which the late Mr.
Wilson's Indian budget would have on British manufactures.
Strong opposition was expressed to the protective impost of
15 per cent, customs duty which had been introduced by
Isar. Wilson. Sir A Lawrence stated that the council would
take the @object into consideration. It is probable that the
subject will come before parliament in the ensuing eesion.—

The Dover Cantle, from Melbourne, has arrived,
with 228,0001. in gold.
The steamer Tasmanian arrived at Southampton
yesterday from the West Indies, with the enormous
sum of 1,128,0001. in specie, of which 1,074,5001.
consists mostly of Mexican dollars and 53,6001. of
gold. This masa of treasure weighs from 180 to
200 tons, and is the largest ever • received
iu a single steamer. No fewer than 40 wag-
guns will be required to convey it from the
Waterloo Station to the Bank of England.
The assortment of the specie at the Bank will
occupy some time, and the bullion brokers do not
expect to have it placed in their heads until Mon-
day week, so that no portion can be despatched to
China by the next outward steamer. Owing to the
mtude of the supply the price of Mexicali
dollars is expected to be considerably reduced.
There wore no bullion operations at the Bank
yesterday.
The Calcutta and China mails vid Marseilles will
be distributed in Loudon to-morrow morning.
The stoppage was announced yesterday of the old
and respectable firm of Thomas Smith and Co.,
gut distillers, of Buck's-row, Whitechapel-road.
The liabilities are believed to be considerable, but
the estate is expected to show a surplus ; and in the
circular lamed to their creditors the firm express a
belief that they shall be able to pay in full. The
business was at one time a very large one, but has
become contracted of late years through the com-
petition of other houses, combined with the gene-
rally depressed state of the trade. The accountant
employed is Mr. S. Lowell Price, of Gresham-
street. Messrs. J. S. Smith and Co., of the
Phceuix Distillery, -Mile-end, have no connexion
with the house that has stopped.

Messrs. Henry Brooks and Co., who have carried
on a considerable business as veneer merchants and
makers of pianoforte "actions," at Cumberhind-
market and the Hamprtead-road, bane also stopped.
The amount of their liabilities has not transpired.
The accountant engaged is Mr. C. F. Kemp, of
Gresham-street

interim dividend for the half-year ending the 30th
June last.
We hear of shares in the London District Tele-
graph Company (Limited) being offered at a merely
nominal price, in order to escape liability to future
calls. These are bl. share*, with 2/. 10a. paid.
With reference to the Great Eastern, we have
received the following letter :
TO TRW =MR OW TIM RIPRIne.
Sir, —As rumours utterly false have been freely circulated
about the Great Bosateru, and as a friend observed, '• There
are some people who are determined to run down the great
ship, and ruin the company," you will oblige the share-
holders and myself by stating that I called at the office to-
day, and found that so far from the certificate of the Board
of Treat being suspended, the inspector of that body had
=he bottom of the Great Eastern, sod declared
non at her condition, and only required that the
bearings at the main screw shaft should be bushed"
who, as it was before her departure on the last voyage to
New York, ea the previous "bushing" had worn away.
Inn operation will always have to be repeated after about
10 or 21 days' steaming, and will con about 2UOI. or
3001. Ultimately it will be desirable to give that part of
the screw shaft a metallic casing and bearing, at a oust of
probably 3,0001. or 4,0001., if some more economical inven-
tion is not assanwhile discovered.
These suinonre may serve the purposed of jealous or
"bearish" speculators, but are very unjust towards the
proprieties, whose hopes and shares are depreciated, sad
must be most disheartening to those gentlemen who in good
faith and devotion are enamouring to make the best use
or their joint preperty.—l ans, Stc., T. G. TAYLOR.

With reference to the market for American se-
curities, Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co. report as
follows :
In the market for American securities there is no pare.
color fosters to notice. There has been a fair amount of
business trenaseted during the past week, and the market
continues firm and prices steady.
The following is Messrs. Culverwell, Brooks, and
Co.'s report of yesterday's hide sales :
At the nineteenth series of sales yesterday there was
but a limited demand for all descriptions of hides. Ex-
porters were not buyers to any extent. The home trade is
still quiet. Ent India.—Ox and Cow—Calcutta : The de-
emed for these hides was small, partly owing to the paresis
iminghhiseward being of middling quality, and
het adapted for export; prices, however
Ist at then previous value. There were no Madras, Peat-
teeny, or Beeday offered. The analysis of the sales is
11.,101 Oaleinto sew parcels, and 29,713 brought forward
beta former min of which 57,545 were add. East Indio—
Brifialo : The few sold realised last sale's prices. Leather
was in fair request, and realised about previous rates.
Salted hides The chief portion of the quantity offered con-
misted of Australian, which, being held firmly at late rates,
were only part sold. The Cape were mostly sold at fair
prices for the quality, which was inferior. West India and
thkraltar also maimed tsar prices. Rio Grande and Brazil
r In. Dry hides—Went Coed: The few sold
irerli b lserit rates. Dryealted—Mauritius : All paned.
Myrabolanes sold at fair prices. Valonia : Only one lot mid
at fair value for the duality.
