the same time they will establish greater unity in
the amount of the higher notes in circulation.
Already the Mint has issued a considerable amount

of new coin

A. General Court of Proprietors was held this
day in the parlour of the Bank for the election of
a governor and deputy governor for the year
ensuing. The names of the house list are, for
governor, Thomas Matthias Weguelin, Esq., and
Sheffield Neave, Esq , for deputy. The ballot
glasses were opened at ten o'clock, and closed at
four. The Court was then adjourned until to-
morrow, for the election of twenty-lour directors.

The suspensions are announced of Mr. Thomas
Harrison, shipowner, and asphalte manufacturer,in
consequence of a connection with Messrs. Syers,
Walker, and Co., and of Messrs. Woollett and
Nephew, ship and insurance agents.
The Funds opened at a further decline of at per
cent. this morning, but afterwards rallied, and
closed „I per cent. higher than yesterday—the quo-
tations being 928 93. Despite the considerable
outstanding speculation for a rise, which is devel-
oped at the settlement now in progress in Consols,
the market retains great steadiness, confidence
being felt in the future. The large arrivals of
gold promote this favourable feeling. Not-
withstanding the preparations for Thursday's
instalments on the new loan, there is no

pressure in the Discount Market, the dividends
being payable tomorrow, Wednesday. In the
Stock Exchange, however, partly in connection
with the consol settlement, money was in active
demand at six per cent on government securities.
The recent failures have excited a cautious feeling,
the depreciation in many articles of produce
having been serious, and the losses consequently
severe. Confidence continues to be felt, however,
in the general stability of trade. At Paris to-day
the three per cent Rentes closed 4 per cent higher
than yesterday. The amount of gold brought in by
the Red Jacket from Melbourne is stated at no less
than 100,600 ounces, worth about 402,0001. The
purchase of gold on account of the Bank of
France having apparently ceased, it is hoped
that the bulk of this large remittance will be sent
into the Bank. The Foreign Exchanges this
afternoon generally showed more firmness. In
the case of Paris and Italian places a
slight advance in rates was established.
