As we anticipated, 1.10,0001. in bar gold was with-
drawn from the Bank ot. Saturday, for exportation
to the Continent, in paymee't for the large supplies
of silver.
We believe that the shipment.' of specie and W-
IWI' for the East, by the Ripon, OD Wednesday, will
be little below a million sterling.
The amount of specie shipped try the Arabia,
which mailed for the United States oa Saturday
morning, is 204,6921. in sovereigns, beside* a large

The total value of these imports is about 270,0001.
The imports of silver from the Continent into the
Thames amounted last week to about 230,0001.
This is inclusive of 40,0001. which arrived on Friday,
but exclusive of the considerable quantities which

representing a total value of about 70,0001. These;
remittances were despatched chiefly to Franco. The

The announcement that the Hon. Mr. Cadogen
has resigned his post as Deputy-Chairman of the
Submarine Telegraph Compamy has been received
in the City with satisfaction ; but it was considered
that, as a matter of course, he would be compelled to
do so. Mr. Cadogan hints a wish for re.eleo-
Ron. The shareholders in the Submarine Telegraph
Company are now, therefore, about to be called upon
for an answer to the plain question—Do they wish
to retain at their board a gentleman who is avow-
