fresh decline of nearly f per cent. compared with
the quotations current at the close of the Bonne

The demand for gold for the Continent has sud-
denly revived ; and, in addition to the absorption of
the whole of the recently-imported supplies, about
166,0001. in gold was yesterday taken from the Bank.
These remittances are stated to be partly in payment
for silver, of which metal about 60,0001. worth has
reached the Thames, from the Continent, during the
last day or two.
The demand for money at the Bank and else-
where was moderate; but no bills are discounted in
the open market below 21 per cent.

The gold (except the sovereigns) ex the Brazilian
mail steamer Tyne, his been taken for transmission
to the Continent.

The 165,5491. in specie (81,7801. in gold and

was spoken with on the 11th instant, in lat. 48 N.,
lon. 23 W., by the steamer Atrato, from the Welt
Indies, and may perhaps arrive off the coot in the
course of a few clays.
In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon the
variation was confined to a slight unfavourable
movement in the rates for bills on Hamburg and
Bt. Petersburg. As regards paper on Vienna, the
rates were a trifle higher than on Friday. The cur-
rent quotations are shown below, viz. :

The principil movement in the Stock Exchange
yesterday was again in French railwayslares, which.
after attaining • fresh advance, elapsed to the
closing quotations of Monday. It is said that the
recent influential purchases by a combination of
capitalists, who have contrived to get the speculators
for the fall into a difficult position, are partly based
upon the prospect of the French government being
induced to grant a guarantee of 4.85 per cent. per
annum on the capital required for the extensions and
other new works. It is alleged that, until the year
1865, the new capital will not participate in the
profits of the old lines ; an arrangement, by the bye,
in which the interests of the holders of the
new shares scarcely seem to have been suffi-
ciently consulted ; but that after 1866, in the
event of the new lines not yielding 4.65 per cent.
per annum interest, the government will make up,
the difference. In some quarters it is alleged that
an extension of the period for the construction of the
new works is conceded ; but this statement requires I
confirmation.

The Peruvian agents have notified to the holders of
the Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cent. liriberren

TLIBUDAY lIVZIITNe.

The funds this morning, though dull, were steady
in price, the firmness of the Paris Bourse and the
announcement in the French advice. of the retire-
ment of the Military Minister of the Interior being
viewed with satisfaction. Later in the day weak-
ness became apparent, and the market closed flatly
at a reduction of hilly } per oent. Amongst the
considerations which led to the unfavourable move-
ment were news of a reaction on the Paris Bourse,
and a rumour of a large withdrawal of gold from
the Bank.
