10,00 J bales, oi a e-half on speculation and for ex-

dull and quiet a: ;pee% but closed at its best point.
The Colonial 'roduce Markets have been rather
more active this -week, and the prices of some

stock of this art isle in the principal ports of Europe
en the Ist in 3 t. was estimated at 74,890 tons,
against 75,66C1 tons last year and 75,180 tons in
1854. Cocoa h as been dull, rice 3d. per cwt. dearer,

The Belgian. Moniteur publishes the returns of
the State rail• ways in that kingdom for the month
of July last, c ompared with the corresponding
period in 1855, which exhibit a decrease of about
12,000 tons in the merchandise transported, also
in baggage an d treasure, and a considerable dimi-
nution in the number of animals. The following
are the chief items :—Total receipts in July 2,
384,730 f. against 2,131,752 f. in 1855 ; ditto for
the six mont bs previous 10,570,854 f. against
10,441,723 f. i n 1855. The increase is mainly
Owing to the p asseuger traffic, and the telegraphic
receipts for the I month amounted to 32,887 f.
Accounts fr.( )in Berlin of the 10th inst. mention
that the Bank of Darmstadt, which had taken the
initiative Of fc arming a general congress of all the
German bank s, has addressed a circular to the
various banki: og establishments in Germany, in-
viting them to. send delegates to the conference for
the purpose of drawing up certain general principles
relative to the circulation, such as reciprocal con-
ditions of accel sting bank notes, bills of exchange,
a common monetary unit, Ace. This idea is, how-
ever, but coldl: r received at Berlin, and is not ex-
peoted to be re: ilised.

The Bank of England return for the week ending
the Yth inst. is not very favourable, a further ma-
terial reduction being apparent in the stock of
bullion. The Reserve of notes, however, has not
seriously diminished, but there is a large addition
to the other securities. The following exhibits the
