The Persia has arrived from New York with
95,0001. in specie.

HALT-PAST Two O'CLOCK.
Console have not changed, being quoted 94 to 1,
both for money and the 11th inst.
There were no gold operation, at the Bank yester-
day. The 61,0001. in gold by the Shannon and Tyne will
be lent abroad.

There was rather more demand for silver yesterday
for Bombay, consequent upon the advance in the
exchange. Government will make no remittance of
specie by the steamer of the 12th inst., but it is said
that the private shipments may reach 200,0001.
This estimate, however, is contingent upon the
receipt of orders expected from the provinces.
The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon, in one
or two instances, were rather flat, but the alteration
in the rates was unimportant. The Frankfort ex-
change ruled rather lower, whilst that on Vienna
exhibited an upward tendency, paper being offered.
The quotations are shown below :
Amsterdam, three months, 1L164 to ; ditto short, 11.14 i

Mr. John Bonnie, C.E., the managing director of
the Oriental Inland Steam Company, has returned
from India, and has addressed to the board a report
on the performance of the steam trains on the Indus.
Hs contends that the result of the experiment thus
far is quite satisfactory, and confirms his belief that
the principle on which the company's steam trains
are based is a correct and economical one. He re-
commends, however, that the steam power be in-
creased, in order to vanquish the rapidity of the
current of the Indus.

The subjoined weekly summary of the produce
markets is extracted from the circular issued last
evening by Messrs. W. J. and H. Thompson
There is not any change of • importance In the Colonial
markets this week. Sager has experienced a slightly in*
proved demand. and for doming cargoes rather bever prier
have been obtained. Coffee continues to be freely offered.
and, excepting for flue qualities prices are in favour of the
buyers. Rice hes again been Inquired for, and qootationsi
are maintained. Saltpetre has dectined about GS. per cot. AA
active dement has existed for white pepper, and to-day's miles
went at a rime of fully Id. per lb. Tat remains hustles, with
very limited operations.
With reference to the silk market, Messrs. Durant
and Co. report as follows, under date last evening :
We have a changed market In silk—so longer the deter-
mined quiet of the two previous mooths—nill without any
general currency of demand. In Chloe silk a relnittion on
the part of the importers, towards the close of lest month, to
the extant of le. per lb., and the necesaities of our home con.
ruiners, combined to produce business, and comiderable
parcels were sold, leading almost to buoyancy of market,
sufficient oven to induce the expectation of the feasibility of
• return to the highest prices of August. Thus far this bee
not been fully realised, end the attempt seems to have re-
pressed the apparently growing demand with our home con-
sumers, and effectually to keep off the foreigners, who were
just beginning to show themselves; thus marking the de-
termination of the trade to resist to the uttermost any step
towards higher pricer, which might otherwise be expected,
and, perhaps, not oasturally so, as the result of short stook
and cheap money. In Bengal silk. transactions have been

The return of the Bank of England for the week

vious weekly return, shows the following results:

These changes are of some importance. The re•
serve has diminished 824,0691., owing to the large
decline in the Treasury deposits, coupled with the
moderate extension of the Bank's discount business.
Of the semi paid away on government account, as
usual at the end of the quarter, a large proportion
must have consisted of coin. This would explain
the smallness of the inmate in the bullion, of which
not ler; than 435,0001. was purchased by the esta-
blishment during the week referred to.
The Cia:ette statement of the movement of the
precious metals for the week ending Wedneeday last
gives the following totals, viz.:—lmports of gold,
626,4301.; exports of gold, 100,1211.; imports of
silver, 348,1431.; exports of silver, 105,4931.
