J-he mining districts continue inexhaustible, and
ki Products are constantly increasing ; new discoveries
Oantinua.lly being made, giving employment to hun-

Lthe accumulation of specie in the Bank of Eng-
has been even more rapid than might have
expected, except that under this head it has
noted that a good proportion of the bullion
iTrred from abroad was being paid into the Bank.

° and check the accumulation. The million
must be presently remitted to Sardinia ;
with the navigation opening in the United
Lrap and at Hamburg and other ports,
will be grain and produce coming in.
