the moral example we set them, and would fain
trample on the civil and religious liberties- we
enjoy ? We have no desire to appear as though we
were resorting to swagger, but since our commerce
must suffer by any serious occurrence on the
Continent, it is time that we directed the attention
of this mercantile country to palpable facts which

must have so strong a reassuring tendency

Accounts from Spain mention that the instal-
ment of the 13 million francs paid by the Credit
Mobilier Company to the Spanish government, on
account of the loan of 200 million reals, had arrived
safely at Madrid, where it was dsposited in the
Treasury under the • control of the new Minister of
Finance. Contrary to what had been understood
(that this sum would be paid in silver), it appears
that it is entirely composed of French gold pieces ;
therefore, before it can be made current in the
Peninsula, it is to be converted into Spanish
money.

The specie arrivals reported yesterday comprise
the important total of about 416,0001., including
60,000 ounces of gold by the Oliver Lang, from
Melbourne; and 880,000 dols. by the Canada, from
th 3 United States. These supplies are expected
to be in hand to day, and to be sent to the Conti-
nent.

Assuming that the steamer Royal Charter sailed
from Melbourne for Liverpool at the date fixed,
viz., the 25th of May, this vessel has now been at
sea 65 days. The new Great Britain ship from
Port Philip was telegraphed this morning off Pen-
zance, with gold on freight to the value of 20,0001.
Her date of leaving has not yet been ascertained.
The usual report of the French Bourse yesterday
has not yet come to hand, in consequence of the
non-arrival of the mail. By telegraph the closing
prices of the 3 per Cents. show an improvement of
5c on the previous quotations, for money and
account.

Friday next, the Ist August, has been appointed
special settling day in tho Stock Exchange for the
shares of the Italian Junction Railways Company
and Ceylon Railway Company. In each case the
shares are to be officially marked. The shares of
the former company were more inquired for yester-
day, owing to the statement relative to new con-
cessions.

The prospectus of the South Western Hotel
Association (limited) is issued. In addition to th©
general business of an hotel, this company pro-
poses to combine some new features. Instead of
erecting a large mansion, arrangements have been
made for securing a property described as pecu-
liarly suitable f,pr the purpose. Reference is made
to the profits realised by the Great Western Hotel
Company, the last dividend of which was at the
rate of 25 per cent per annum. The capital is
fixed at 50,0001 (subject to increase to 100,0001) in
51 shares. One pound is to be paid as deposit,
and 11 on allotment. Amongst the provisional
committee we notice Sir C. E. Douglas, Sir John
Easthope, Bart., Sir F. G. Moon, Messrs. James
Anderton, Charles S. Mortimer, J. G. Frith, &c.
The English Funds are quoted at yesterday's
closing prices, with a slight improvement in the
money quotation. The Money Market is much in
the same position, as the imports of the precious
metals more than balance the exports. Consols
for Money are now 05 951; for the 7th August,
951 658; and for the September Account, 96 964.

pared with Monday week's rates, was generally
