the same period 780 bake China, and 620 Bengal.
' The total arrivals for the month of March were
1 6,326 bales. The following report of the silk market
is from the circular of Messrs. Durant and Co. :
The last few days have afforded rather more symptoms of
business, otherwise the silk market has been almost unin-
terruptedly quiet for six weeks. The arrivals have been-
cocaiderable, the deliveries rather lees fevourabie. Is China
silk the quaaelty is the kande of importers has been in-
creased to 4,000 bales; this inched.* the Ameer and Caroline
just arrived. In Bengal silk a very large proportion of the
recent arrivals prove to bs of inferior quality, for which, at
present, there is no demand ; the smell portion of medium
quality was taken on landing. In Italian silk the weekly
arrivals are very small, still there is a disposition on the part
(aroma of the importers to press sales. In Brutia silk some
business has hien done at a alight reduc.ion of price. Perlin
silk is allowed to accumulate.

The Antwerp Chamber of Commerce, at a recent
sitting, resolved upon addressing a memorial to the
Minister for Public Works, stating that letters dis-
patched in the evening from London, and conveyed
by the mail between Dover and Ostend, do not reach
Antwerp till some time after the commencement of
business on the Bourse, whilst those conveyed by way
of Calais, arrive at Malines at about eight o'clock in
the morning, and can thus be fo7warded to Cologne
by the first train—a state of things which must be
speedily put an end to, or the result will be the with-
drawal from the Ostend and Dover packets of the
carriage of letters destined for Belgium and
Germany. As a remedy the Chamber pro-
poses that the mail steamer should start
from Dover for Ostend at the same time
that the other packet leaves Dover for Calais, 1. e. at
eleven o'clock at night; and that the express train
at present leaving Ostend at half-past eight a.m.,
should be despatched a few hours earlier, so as to
arrive at Matinee simultaneously with the first train
for Cologne from Antwerp and Brussels. The Chsm-
ber further recommends that the mail-packet for
Dover be in future despatched from Ostend at 11
p.m., whatever may be the state of the tide, in order
that it may arrive at Dover before the departure of
the quarter-past 7 train for London.
From the usual fortnightly returns we learn that
the total amount of the note circulation of the two
banks of Brussels, on the 13th inst., was 42,003,720 E,
of which 31,453,720 f. were hustled by the "Societe
Generale," and 10,550,000 f by the 13.t0k of Belgium.
The discount business done by the three discount
establ shments of Brussels from the Ist to the loth
amounted to 5,794,806 f. ; whilst that transacted by
the Bank of Flanders out of the special fund at its
disposal made up a total value of 311,379 f.
