At Paris the Three per Cent. Bente., which cloud

The Weimer La Plata has arrived from the West
Indies with about 104,0001. in specie.
We have much satisfaction in announcing that
Lord Stanley has responded with commendable
promptitude to the representations made respecting
the inconvenient character of some of the loan
arrangements. A supplemental notification, Wald
last evening from the India-office, commences es
follows :

It booing bees broaght to the notice of the Soordery ef I
State for India in Connell, that inconveniasos may rout
from the ;sprout of se Imp an instalment se 90 Format of
the Indian loan on the ard of May, and also that Torbay
the 19th instant is observed as a holiday by a porilca of the
community, the following amended advertisement is Lewd
in substitution of that dated the 11th instant.

It is accordingly intimated that the latest period
for sending in tenders will be twelve o'clock on
Thursday, the 21st inst. (instead of the 19th), and
that so much of the amount tendered must be paid ea
the 6th May (instead of the 3rd) se will leave 76
(instead of 60) per oent. of the capital for future
liquidatioa. The payment of the remaining 76 per
cent. is fixed as follow., viz., 26 per cent. on the
14th Jane, 26 per cent. on the 19th July, and 26 per
cent. on the 16th August. The rest of the amended
notification (which will be found in extemo in our
advertising columns) is identical:with that already
published. Assuming the impression to be correct,
that numerous tenders will be sent in at 96
per cent., the min to be paid by the 6th
May will lie 1,400,0001., and a longer period
by one month will be allowed for the liquidation
of the remaining 6,260,0001., completing the total of
6,650,0001. The 2,000,0001. to be paid on the Bth
May to holders of Exchequer Bonds will form a par-
tial set off against this demand.
In the discount market the demand yesterday was
active, but the Bank minimum was not exceeded for
the best bills. At the Bank the applications are to
a fair extent, but by no means pressing. Including
various sums liquidated yesterday, the bulk of the
loans granted by that establishment during the abut-
ting of the transfer books have now been repaid.
There are still no withdrawals of gold from the
Bank.
The steamer Royal Bride has arrived from Mel-
bourne, with 117,W01. in gold, which will be sent to
the Coritinent.
Upon the delivery of the letters from Calcutta and
China yesterday private shippers of silver to the Rest
evinced little disposition to operate for the steamer of
the 20th inst., and the quotation for bar silver con-
sequently declined to 621(1. per ounce standard. The
principal remittances will be on government
amount.
The advioes from Calcutta report a reduction of 1
to 2 per cent. in the price of government securities,
compared with those transmitted by the previous
matt, although the market had derived a certain de-
gree of support from telegraphic intelligence of the
arrangements in progress for supplying the necessi-
ties of the Indian government from the home
market. The local journals concur in declaring
that the subscriptions to the open government
loans are unimportant in amount. The exchange
on London was quoted rather lees unfavourable
for this country, the closing quotation for first clam
credit bills being as. lid. to lid., against 2e. 1/d.
by the previous mail.
In the tea market yesterday, upon the delivery of
the China letter', an advance of id. per lb. was
paid for some descriptions of congon. Jute con-
tinues to decline.
Letters from Marseilles. mentioning the failure of
the firm of Aquarone file, Porro, and Co., state the
liabilities at about 92,0001., and the assets at 80,0001.
or upwards. The bulk of the latter, however, is at
present locked up abroad. It is anticipated that the
firm, whom transactions are principally in the corn
trade, will merely ask time from their creditors.
The London and North Western Railway traffic
return shows this week an increase of 6,6491.; the
Great Western an increase of 1,6921. ' • the Great
Northern an increase of 1,6661. ; and the London and
South Western an increase of 1,1781.
The report of the directors of the Bahia Railway,
ionised this day, describes the preparatory operations
which have been carried out in the engineering de-
partment, and characterises the progress made by

is 29,2891. Beyond the call-of 21., payable on the
6th May, no further call will be required during the
present year.
