The market derives great support from the
ampresitlentedl7 heavy imports of the precious
metals. It 15 true that the Bsnk's stock
has e. yet derived little emersion from
these arrivals, owing to the necessity of paying
for the large quantities of silver drawn from the
Continent: neverthelcu it is scarcely to be believed
that the whole of the enormous remittances of gold
now to hand will merely pass through this country
en route to the Continent. A very favourable im-
pression was also produced on Saturday by the par-
ticulars afforded by the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer relative to the position of the national exche-
quer. From these it appears that at the end of
March last, owing to an increase in the estimated
revenue and to a decrease in the estimated expenditure,
the balance in band was no less thenl,B6l,oool. in emo
am of the Chancellor's previous calculations. Out of
this sum he will be enabled to pay to Denmark the
satire 1,125,000 E under the Sound DuesTreaty,with-
est having recourse to borrowing in any shape. Thel
islasticity of the revenue is certainly marvellous.
The next monthly return of the Bank of France

The 317,0001. in gold brought by the Sydenhun

. in silver and only 84,600 in geld),
&dolt Parana, from the West Indies and Mexico
by the Sultan, from the Peninsula) and
130,7001. by the Pera, from the Mediterranean.
The total value of the week's imports cannot be
estimated at less than 1,731,0001.—an amount per-
ks* unprecedented. Of this enormous aggregate
mine than half a million is in silver, which- will be
transferred on board the next steamer for Alexan-
dria, en route to the East. The imports of Austra-
lian gold reported last week are no less than
877,6001.
Amongst the direct imports of silver into London
from the Continent we also noti 43 cases by the
Seine, from Boulogne, and about 60,0001. by the
Leo, from Antwerp.
The Custom-house weekly statement of the exports
of the precious metals direct from London lea-easel
26,266 oz. of gold, and 2,000 oz. of silver, represent-
ing a total value of about 104,0001. The particulars
are subjoined, viz. :—Gold coin—To Boulogne,
7,670 oz. Gold bars—To Boulogne, 17,842 oz. ;to
Copenhagen, 744 oz. Silver coin—To Hamburg,
1,200 os.; to Boulogne, 800 oz.
The shipments from the outposts have embraced
761,6131. (of which 756,2991. was in silver, and only
6,3141. in gold) by the Indus, for Alexandria and
the East ; and 31,7501. (of which 11,750/. was in
gold, and the rest in silver) by the Orinoco, for the
West Indio, &e.
The total ascertained shipments of the week, as
officially reported, are thus raised to about 900,0001.,
of which more than three-fourths were in silver.
