cent., the present price being 93 to 1. Some of

The amount now owing of the loans raised in
this country by Brasil is 14,032,0001., not
14,500,0001. as stated in • contemporary. The in-
accuracy is probably owing to due allowance not
having been made for the operation of the sinking
fund on these loans. In 1867 the amount applied
to the amortization of the debt, as shown by
Messrs. Rothschild's advertisement, was 240,0001. ;
and it is, of course, annually increasing. The re-
mittances of the Brasilian government to this
country, in payment of the interest on its debt
=dot its otherengagenient•inEuro. of late,
it is understood, been unusually large, and the
balance at its credit is believed to equal, or
nearly so, to a year's expenditure. In addition to
the foreign loans, the Brazilian government has
liabilities in London on guaranteed railway capital
amounting to 5,200,0001. ; but as two of the rail-
way companies are worked at a considerable profit,
it goes in diminution of the pressure of those
s on the Brazilian finances. In March,
guarantees
latest date to which official statistics ex-
tend, the internal debt of the Empire was
10,600,000/. The statement that the war in the
Plate 15 costing Brazil 200,0001. a month is a great
andanobvionsexaggeration. The suusetionthatthe
time has come when an offer of mediation by Eng-
land, Prance, and the United States might usefully,
and probably successfully, be made in those hostili-
ties, is, it may be added, generally received with
favour in the City.
About 45,000 sovereigns from South America
were sent into the Bank yesterday, while 7,000
were taken out for Egypt.
The silver market was quieter yesterday, the wants
of exporters to the East having been supplied for
the moment ; but the quotation for bars was not
below ss. it per ounce. Mexican dollars have
not varied, in the absence of supplies here, but any
fresh - izunsactions would doubtless be at an
advance of id., in =twee* the movement in bars.
The steamer Syria will take to-day only 5,0001.

was bought on Thu . The packet which will
leave Southampton next week with mails for the

a ppoorrttiron of the remittances will be made via
Mareilles.
