.POST.—We find we rather understated the liahi-
Eties- of the house of :NLisrs H. and J. Johnston and
Co. They amounted at the time of their failure to
About 300,0001. Their immediately available assets, in
their own hands, were at that time more than 150,000/.
Besides these they have property and book-debts which
appear to leave a considerable ultimate surplus, and
their friends have every expectation of their being able
to resume business at an early period. Though, when
they stopped, there was an apparent loss of 100,0001.
f-am the fraudulent abstraction of funds, the chances
f recovery of a part are even more favourable than at
:first entertained.

SUN.—There was a continued steady improvement in
all English Stocks, within a fraction up to the close of
)usiness to-day. Consols were at 89-4- to 891 for Money,
and 891 to -gbi for the Account, the latest value of
both being 891 to The hostile attitude assumed by
the Nepaulese has led to a decline in India Stock of
about 6 per cent., the price at present being '23 8 .
There is, however, scarcely any business doing in it.
Bank Stock has been 1581 to 1591, which is also rather
loWer. The Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cent.
Knntitties touched 97 a to 98, the New Three-and-a-
1-Tall par Cents. 98k to 991, and the Three per Cent.
Annuities 881 to 881. Exchequer Bills ware at par
to 3s. premium, and India Bonds at 14s. to 10s. dis.
There was a good deal of animation in the Foreign
litarket, accompanied by a general advance in the
eitTotations. We belAve the payment of the Chi-
ban Dividend, and the promise of half a dividend
from Portugal, together with the proposal for
converting all the foreign debt of the latter country
into a Five per Cant. stock, has given the impulse to
that rash speculation which is beginning to show itself
again. Spanish Active Bonds got up from 224 to 2.24
to ; Portuguese Nang Five per Cents. from 35 to
361 37, but closing a 361 ; the Three per Cents. from
to 261 ; Chilian from 56 to 57 and 60 ; Colom-
bian of 1824, from 25 to -251 ; Mexican deferred ire
94 to 10 ; and Peruvian from 154 to 16 and 151.
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. rallied from 511 to
51/ ; the Five per Coals. from 981 to 99} ; and French
Five per Cents from 110 f. 25e. to 110 f. 75c.
The Railway Shares were in moderate request. Great
Western realised 191 to 21, the New 8 to 7i, the
Fifths 41 ; the -Birmingham 75 to 4: and the South
Westeo 14i-to. 131 premium. Croydon Trunk Shares
were at 2 discount ; Birmingham and Derby at 31 to
30 ; Eastern Counties at 141 ; and Brighton at 124 to
121 discount. Union Bank of Auskralia Shares were
71 to 8 premium.
The advices of the 26th ultimo, from the United
States, by, the Garrick packet, are still more o political
than commercial interest, the elections absorbing all
attention. The exchange on France had been so much
against the United States, that $BOO,OOO in specie were
shipped off to Havre, in the preceding few weeks. The
exports of specie from New York to all parts, from the
Ist September to the 22d October, were $1,749,114,
and the imports )1900,000, showing a balance against
the United States of $849,814. The total amount of
bullion in the coffers of the banks of New York was
$6,088,461. As regards the United States Bank, there
is now no longer any doubt of its resumption in Jean-

ary next.
In the advices from British North America, we have
intelligence of the resignation of the administration of
the Government of Nova Scotia, by Sir Colin Camp-
bell, who is succeeded by Viscount Falkland. The
Halifax military stores were about to receive an im-
mense supply of gunpowder from England, more in fact
than they had ever contained for nearly thirty years
before. inhabitants of Canada had petitioned the
Governo=r for more ample protection along the Lakes.
