China and the Straits. Nearly the whole of it is
silver, the gold being only 5,3801.

The steamer Labuan has arrived in the Downs,
from Hong Kong, with 275,400 lbs tea on freight.
A telegraphic despatch, dated St. Petersburg,
Saturday, quotes the exchange on London again
somewhat lower—viz ,at 371 I. This rate would
certainly allow of remittances of gold to this side,
but it is still found very difficult to obtain gold
from the government establishments. The
authorities nominally permit the exportation of
the precious metal, but throw every obstacle in the
way of its collection. The price of Tallow was
quoted 182 ro. on the spot, 78 for delivery in
Anguat, and 176 ro. for September. The quantity
of Tallow shipped this season up to date was 9,804
casks.
From Paris we have the official announcement
that M. Andouillet, of the office of the Minister of
Finance, has been definitively appointed deputy-
governor of the Bank of France.
The imports of specie and bullion announced
yesterday were very heavy, forming a total of
about .713,8001., and comprising 280,0001. by the
Arabia, from New York, and 433,8001. by the
Parana, from the West Indies and Mexico.
Of the amount by the Arabia, the entire,
with' the exception of about 20,4001., is on
English account. Of that by the Parana, about
327,4001. is in silver, and 106,4001. in gold. In-
cluding the 171,900/. in Australian gold brought by
the Lightning and Scatnander (the arrival of which
was announced on Saturday), the total amount of
newly-imported specie and bullion is no less than
885,000/. The whole of this is expected to be sent
away, the silver to the East, and the gold to the
Continent, to buy more silver for that destination.
Indeed, the 131,400/. in gold, ex the Lightning, has
already been sold for the Continent, with
the exception of a sum of about 5,000/., which
was sent into the Bank, the parties into
whose hands it came being apparently ignorant
that a better price could be got for it from the Con-
tinenal buyers. These supplies will at least tend
to check the drain upon the Bank ; but a sum of
10,000/ in gold is known to have been taken from
that establishment yesterday for exportation to the
Continent.

The specie and bullion ex the steamer Parana are
expected to be delivered in about a week.
A sum of 8,000/, in Russian half imperials, has
arrived from St. Petersburg, and will be sent to the
Continent in payment for silver.
The steamer Sultan has also brought 3,9871 in
specie from the Peninsula.
On Saturday the steamer Rhine arrived in the
Thames from Boulogne, with 87 oases of silver,
and the Belgium, from Ostend, with 14 cases
These remittances represent a total value of about
100,0001., and are understood to have been com-
prised in the freight of the Ripon, the particulars
of which have already been published.
It frequently happens that when the pressure
incidental to the remittances by each Eastern
steamer has subsided there is a temporary flatness
in the silver market, and this is to some extent the
case now. Transactions took place yesterday in
bar silver at ss. 1. and ss. 2d. per ounce standard,
but the former is now the more general quotation.

LIVERPOOL CORN MIRKET.—AuousT 4.

Having a small attendance of buyers at our Corn
Exchange this morning, the trade in Wheat ruled slow
at a further decline of 23 per 70 lbs on the reduced rates
of Friday. Flour was but little inquired for, and prices
the turn in favour of buyers. In Barley, Beans, and
Pease, we notice little alteration. Oats and Oatmeal are
also without change. A moderate coufitry demand was
experienced for Indian corn, which holders met more
freely, and the value may be quoted 3d to 6d lower.

striking change. Business is generally :quiet. In the

the shareholders in Wheal Samson Mine is called for the
11th inst., to take into consideration the state of the com-
pany and the application of a patent process to the quan-
