81 and 81 ; London and Westminster (201. paid) at
231 ; Provincial of Ireland (231. paid) at 41} and 41.
In dock slums dealing. have taken place as under :
East and West India at 142 ; East Country at 21 ;
London at 119; St. Katharine at 81 and 801.
The exports of the precious metals direct from
London this week have been about 118,000 ounces of
silver, and 3,788 ounces of gold, all to the continent.
The market fur railway shares this week has been
gloomy and depressed, though the depreciation in
value has not been to any considerable extent as
regards the majority of Hoeg. Various reasons have
concurred to produce this unfavourable state of the
market, but the chief influencing cause during the
week has been the p-sition of the account. Contrary
to general expectatio3, the settling developed a Mfg-
derable sanity of sock, more eepteially in Great
Westerns, upon which a very high rate of " backward-
'Rion" wss given, but the improvement which might
naturally have occurred in consequence was nullified
bf the effect exercised by the depression in the
Zeglish stock market, attendant upon the disquieting
elt‘rsoter of the intelligence from the French capital,
and the heavy fall in the Renter. Devon shares have
receded since the meeting, as have she Newcastle
and Berwick South Eastern. have been unfavour-
ably affected during the week by the uncertainty as
to the result of the meeting, and have not since
rallied from the depression. Since last Saturday the
decline in price amounts to 30a. in Great Westerns,
IL in Lancashire and Yorkshires, 11. in Brighton.,
South D-vone, South Eastern', and South Westerns,
10s. in North Westerns and Midlands, Sm.

According to advice. received this afternoon from
Amsterdam, the public sales of Java coffee on the 14th
had passed off with great languor, and not more than
a fourth of the 173,962 bags had been disposed of—
say 386 lots sold and 1,127 lots withdrawn. The
lowest price paid was 321 c., and the highest 380. ;
the greater part sold realising 3240. to 331 c. The
price'' on the average, were a trifle under those ob-
tained on the previous Monday at Rotterdam. The
same parks who bon4ht largely on the previous oc-
casion attended tbe 'sleet Amsterdam,and madeevery
effort to sustain prices in which they are so deeply com-
promised ; bat as this could not be dote, the Com-
pany, to save the previous buyers from the conse-
quences of any material decline in price, which sp•
peered inevitable if the sale had proceeded without
reserve, withdrew about three-fourths of the quantity
offered from further competition.
From Antwerp we learn that the demand made by
the government for a credit of two million, of franc.,
for the purpose of defraying the expenses consequent
upon the experiments in the manufacture of linen
cloth, which have been for some time past carried on
with great success by the managing committee of St.
Bernard's Prison (sa noticed in the -Express a few
days ago) has been granted by the Chamber of Re-
presentatives by a large majority, the votes being 53
for, and only 15 against the bill.
