BArozDAT EYRNDIO.

Although the Bank return was not satisfactory, and
the declining tendency of the exchanges threatens to
lead to further withdrawals of gold from the Bank,
the funds opened this morning with increased firm-
ness. An advance off per cent., however, was
merely temporary, being met by sales. After a total
decline of j per Gent. from the best point of the
morning, the market finally closed par cent. lower
than yesterday. The market was prejudiced in the
afternoon by an erroneous report that another special
court had just been summoned, and was then sitting
at the Bank. No meeting of the directors took place
to-day. The public) must learn to be on their guard
against the various prejudicial rumours which are so
freely circulated at periods of disquietude like the
present.
In addition to the 40,0001. in gold which was with-
drawn from the Bank yesterday for exportation,
farther sums to the amount of 20,0001. are known to
have been taken out today. The continental demand
for gold is at present so active as to induce a belief
that unless considerable arrivals of the precious metal
take place, there will be a steady but moderate efflux
from the Bank from day to day. The considerable
supply brought over by the Persia from New York
will thus be highly opportune. The wind having
now changed to the westward, the arrival of the
tames Baines, with 700,0001., may also be hourly
expected. It will be as well, however, for the public
not to buoy themselves up with the belief that the
arrival of this supply, now so long expected, will
exercise any material influence on the money market,
as it will probably be quickly absorbed by the Con-
tinent.

There is no essential change in the discount market,
the rates being fully maintained; but it is noticed
that the supply of money continues more liberal than
that witnessed a few days back.
