had commenced, and that those of the section comprised
between Florence and the Roman frontier, vid Arezzo,
would be carried on with activity. The contractor is an
Englishman, Mr. John Gandell, who has undertaken
to complete the line within 42 months.

AMSTERDAM AND ROTTERDAM PRODUCE MARKETS.—
The weekly reviews from these markets mention that,
although transactions had been limited, quotations were
on the average well supported. The demand for coffee
was steady, and previous rates were unaltered. Sugar,
raw and refined, showed little change, but a slight dis-
position had been manifested to increase purchases.
The prices of dried fruits were maintained ; indigo ex-
hibited firmness, but rice had in some few cases been
sold on easier terms. The accounts from Hamburg and
Antwerp represent a similar postion of trade.
NOUVEAU MONDE GOLD COMPANY.—The following
memorandum is from the Nouveau Monde Company :
" The Nouveau Monde Gold Company have this day
received advices from their superintendent in California,
dated the 25th of July, in which, after reporting favour-
ably of the progress making at the mines, he states that
the English crusher is now at work, and that it grinds
60 tons per 12 hours, with ease, through a four-hole
sieve. The ore will be put through again, but the sieve
will be changed for an eight-hole one—thence it will go
to the amalgamators, two of which were to be in course
of erection in a few days. He further adds that this is
the first mill of the kind put up in California, and while
he laments the unavoidable delays that have taken place,
yet, with a little patience, he looks forward with oonfi-
dence to be able to reduce every 12 hours 50 tons of
paying gold quartz."
ARRIVALS OF GOLD.—The Kent, Coleman, has arrived
to-day from Port Philip, whence she sailed the sth of
June, with 26,263 ounces of gold, valued at 105,0001.
The Marco Polo, which left Melbourne the Bth of the
same month, is not yet announced. Two other vessels
are also reported—The Cornhill, from Hobart Town,
with 570 ounces of gold, and the Ann Miln, from Port-
land-bay, but the quantity the latter brings has not been
ascertained.
FRANKFORT BANK.--The Journal (le Frankfort of the
10th says :—" A report, which has been put in circula-
tion here, that at the next subscription for shares in the
Frankfort Bank an immediate payment in cash of 25 per
cent. must be made, has caused such an unfavourable
impression on the quotations and on the circulation of
money, that a great number of bankers and merchants
assembled yesterday to draw up a petition to the Senate
demanding that the said provision should be modified,
and that subscribers should be authorised to deposit the
sum required in public securities of the States of the
Germanic Confederaft at the price of the day."
