*ael,' cent., was demanded, and in several instances
rm higher rates were paid. A failure of a Greek
t,qll. was reported in London to day, with liabilities
es;',4l't-ai at £70,000. An increased demand now

ePatched. Gold, therefore, will again be freely

ext?ea having already been forwarded. Unless
dr-rLiuvala of gold take place from Australia, the
~pareferio of m the Bank may recommence. Indeed,
£30,000 of that metal was withdrawn
;r,e_ll,l Threadneedle street to-day, according to one
abatement ; but there is reason to believe that the
-vfolT‘e,t, quantity taken away was about 60,000/, orders
ith the removal of that sum having been given. If
the former amount only has been sent away to day,
remainder will probably leave early in the
lar,„ek: Still, there is no cause for uneasiness, as
1111 plies by several vessels are shortly ex-
tti'''eut from the Antipodes. With these receipts

to the extent of 4to 3-16 took place. Notwith-

remained heavy to the close. The speculative
