- It is announced this morning that the ship Nor-
folk has arrived from Melbourne, with 85,070 oz.
of gold, and 80,000 sovereigns on freight, the
total value of which is about 423,8001,
She left Melbourne on the 6th of July, and has
therefore made a quick passage of 74 days ; never-
theless, her advices have been anticipated by the
overland mall delivered this morning. r
The 98,0001. in gold ex the George Marshall
from Sydney, together with the 84,0001. in gold ex
the steamer Atrato, from the Isthmus, were yester-
day purchased for transmission to the Continent. The
whole of the recent large supplies have now been
disposed of, and no portion has been retained here.
The exact amount of gold shipped on board the
Norfolk, which sailed from Melbourne, for London,
on the 6th of July, is 85,970 ounces, worth about
343,8001. The lied Jacket also sailed from Mel-
eoarne, for Liverpool, on the 18th of July, with
66,000 ounces, worth 264,0001. The former vessel
hes now been at sea 74 days, and the latter 62 days.
Including the 373,0001. brought to Sues by the
steamer Columbian, and the remittances by the True
Briton, Nonrmahal, California, and Montmorency,
previously enumerated, the amount of gold known
to be actually on the way to this country from Ana-
trona is no less than 1,548,0001.

The steamer North Star has arrived at Southamp•
ton, from New York, with 10,0001. in specie, besides
20,0001. for Havre. Several additional failures are
reported in various cities of the Union, hut the
general appearance of financial affairs is described as
decidedly improving. Assuming that the recovery
proves permanent, A is expected that moderate re-
mittances of gold to this aide will be resumed.

The BaronOsy, from Antwerp, has brought about
14,0001. in silver.
The steamer Tagus has taken out 5,1001. in specie
to Cadiz.

The amount of specie and bullion shipped on
board the Ripon, which will leave Southampton for
Alexandria to-morrow, is 663,9861., the whole
of which consists of silver, with the exception of a
few thousand pounds in gold and jewellery. The
sum destined for China Proper is 232,4731. The
particulars are shown below, viz.: For Alexandria,
8801. ; for Ceylon, 4,0671. ; for Bombay, 157,0521. ;
for Madras, 31,3671. ; for Calcutta, 182,3021. ; for
Penang, 6,6001. ; for Singapore, 50,9251. ; for Hong
Kong, 101,3121. ; and for Shanghai, 130,9601.

The subjoined exhibits the aggregate shipments
by each of the last six steamers:

The tendency of the continental exchanges yes-
terday was again rather unfavourable' owing
partly to the more stringent appearance of some of
the continental money markets. The actual altera-
tion in rates, however, was slight. The current

The reserve of unemployed notes presents a small
increase, but the additional departs were princi-
pally employed in satisfying the commercial demand
for money, as evinced in the increase in the " other
securities." The decline in the coin and bullion was
mainly occasioned by the shipment of nearly
200,0001 in sold to the Brazils and Peninsula.

FaIDAT EVENING.

The funds opened this morning with increased
heaviness, owing to the generally unsatisfactory cam.
plexion of the Indian news, which strengthens the
belief that a government loan must ultimately be
raised. This reduction, however, rendered stock
procurable at 90 for cash, and as there were ne-
magus " limits" in the market to invest at that
price, the absorption of stock induced a firmer feeling
This was subsequently strengthened by news of es
important rally at Paris, and the closing quotations
werea shade better than those of yesterday. A great
rise in French railway shares formed a striking
feature of the Stock Exchange this afternoon.
In the discount market and at the Bank to-day
the demand for money was extremely brisk, and the
current rates in the open market are rather above
those of the Bank, except for really first class bills
There is no prospect whatever of any decline in the
value of money forsome time to come. In the Stook
Exchange money in fairly supplied at live per cent.
on government securities.
At Paris yesterday the Three per Cent. Renter,
which were quoted in the morning 66.60, recovered
at the close to 68.70 for money and account. To-day
the Bourse exhibited great buoyancy, and the
closing quotations were 67 for money, and 67.20 fir
the end of reptember, showing a further advance
of 1 to * per cent. since yesterday afternoon. Credit
Mobiller shares fell yesterday to 702 ft. 60c., being
the lowest price ever known, and closed at 736f1r.
The recent severe depression in the shares of this
company has, it is stated, been aggravated through
the inability of some speculative holders to fulfil
their engagements. To-day the stock experienced
an extraordinary rebound, closing at 817 fr., as re-
ported by telegraph. It is whispered that M. Ps-
reire's recent interview with the Emperor may have
assisted in bringing about this favourable change in
the aspect of the Bourse ; but the advices from mast
of the other continental marktts also indicate a
more cheerful feeling. Austrian stocks exhibit a
general rally of to # per cent.
. .

Consols, which closed yesterday at 901 to 1 for Bo
14th Oct., opened this morning at 901 to 1, and
stood at 4 o'clock at 901 to 1. For money the pm*
opened at 891 to 90; and closed at 90 to k. After
4 o'clock the price for the account improved to 901
" buyers." The official business report is as fol-
lows:—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 90,
891, 90k, ; ditto, for account (14th Oct.), 901,
k ; Bank Stock, for account, 2181 (with div.).
Three-and-a-lialfper Cent. Exchequer Bonds, falling
payable in 1859, 981.
Exchequer Bills were heavy, and declined
closing at Bs. to 4s. dig.
. . .

Scarcely any business wan done in foreign stocks.
Turkish Six per Cents., after being marked 94k,
closed the same as yesterday, at 94i to 95. The
Guaranteed Four per Cents. were quoted 991 to I.

New Deferred Three per Cents., 253. Turkish Six
per Cents., 93; ditto, for account (30th Sept.), 9%
941 ; ditto, Guaranteed Four per Cents., 99k, 991.
Illinois Central Railway Ronda were better to-
day, but the shams showed some reaction after the
late rise.

Bank shares today were very quiet, at former
rates. The shares of the two discount companies
were inquired for, and rather better. Land, steamy
dock, and other miscellaneous shares, present so
change of importance.
The nominal closing quotations for the shares La
some of the new undertakings are subjoined, via.:
