Throwing out of the calculation the quantity held
back last year in the interior by planters, we have
actually less available supply than at this time last
yeak.

Letters from Vienna mention that two agents,
representing some English capitalists, had passed
through that city, on their way to Pesth and Semlin,
with a view to establish a steam navigation com-
pany on the Danube, so as to combine the interests
of Austrian and English capitalists.
Accounts from Palermo to the 3rd inst., state
that the government has formally declared that
the exportation of wheat from that state will be
interdicted after the 25th of the current month.

The French budget of revenue and expenditure
for the year 1857 has been published. The ordin-
ary expenses are calculated at 1,698,904,664 francs'
and the receipts at 1,709,874,512 francs, thus
showing an excess in favour of the latter, amount-
ing to 10,969,848 francs. _

According to a telegraphic despatch received
from St. Petersburg, the Russian tariff has just
been altered. Raw sugar is to be admitted at
3 roubles, and refined at 5 roubles per pood. A
pood is about 361 b English, the calculation being
63 poods to a ton English.

The Committee of Spanish American Bondhold-
ers have issued a long statement relative to the
assignment of the Custom duties at New Granada,
in payment of the interest upon the Government
debt, held by English capitalists, which explains
the agreement of the 15th January, 1855. It is
mentioned that twelve dividends are now overdue,
of which the bondholders are only receiving pay-
ment of six, by the last agreement concluded in
London with the agents of the New Granadian
government, in taking the Peruvian Bonds at par,
although they stand only at about 60 per cent.
With a view to render the customs duties more
productive, and to discourage contraband trade,
the committee's agents proceed to recommend,
in as delicate a manner as they can, that
an agent of the bondholders should be
appointed to, act with an officer of the
government in examining strictly the manifests
of every ship arriving in the ports of the republic.
They declare their belief that, if this step were
adopted, the revenue would quickly be doubled and
even tripled. As the debt carries a progressive
rate of interest, this measure is urged the more
earnestly. The language of the memorial is care-
fully worded with a view to avoid offending the
sensitiveness of the authorities, but the whole
document is suggestive of the utter corruption
which prevails in the administration of the state.
An instalment of 20 per cent, amounting to
1,00),0001 is due to-day on the loan of 5,000,0001.
This has produced very little increase in the gene-
ral demand for money, the event, as usual, having
been previously provided for by most parties.
There now remain only two instalments to be paid,
and the entire amount will have been subscribed
on the 18th of September.

An account is printed to-day with the parliamen-
tary pavers, of the public income and expenditure
for the year ending the 30th of June last. The
total income was 70,233,7781, and the expenditure
91,803,1811. The expenditure includes 28,319,1731
on account of permanent debt, 1,727,7151 charged
on Consolidated Fund, and 61,756,2921 for supply
services. The leading items of expenditure are—
army, 21,551,2421; navy, 17,813,9951; ordnance,
8,378,5821; which, with the addition of a vote of
3,000,0001 for the Russian war,' renders the total
war expenditure of the year about 50 millions. The
balance in the exchequer amounted on the 30th of
June, 1855, to 3,882,6101, and on the 30th of June,
1856, to 3,922.334/

The success which has so far attended the
operations of the National Discount Company is
likely to induce further joint stock competition in
this class of business.

The particulars are published of 91 bonds, repre-
senting 30,0001., of the Turkish Six per Cent.
3,000,0001. loan, which have been drawn for
redemption, and are to be paid off at par on the
10th October. The sinking fund commences this
year, and amounts to 1 per cent. per annum on the
total loan. Interest on the portion of the loan
redeemed will also henceforth be applicable to the
same purpose.
The Hertford and Ware Bank,under the manage
ment of Samuel Adams and Company, suspended
payment yesterday. This was a bank of issue
authorised to the amount of 23,6351, but the
circulation latterly has 'been reduced to about
