e sum of £12,000 in gold was taken to the
Bank yesterday.
LaPlata has arrived at Lisbon from Brazil and
the
River Plate with £106,634, and the Scotia,
from New York, has brought £103,855.
Subscriptions have been invited by Mr. J. I'.
Mackenzief for £650,000 Perpetual 5 per cent. Pre-
erence Stock of the Metropolitan District Railway,
at the price of 681. The amount of this stock
authorised to be created is £1,500,000, and the
!hole was last month offered to the shareholders at
70. On that occasion £850,000 was subscribed, and
the present sum will therefore complete the trans-
action, and enable the line to be finished within 12
Westminster-bridge
by the construction of the portion between
Westminster-bridge and Cannon-street. The stock
Will rank next to the 6 per cent. debentures of the
company, which are now at 102, and before the
£2,250,000 ordinary stock already issued, and fully
id U. The total length of the line and its
, branches is seven miles, and the net revenue, calcu-
lating it on the basis of that of the Metropolitan
Railway, would be £200,000, while the require-
ment for debenture interest is £70,000, and for
the present Preference Stock £75,000, leaving
£55;000 for the ordinary shareholders. Looking at
the character of the traffic to be opened up, and its
constant prospects of annual development, the secu-
rity seems likely to be regarded with favour.
'hen the subscription was opened at 70 and par-
tially completed there was no certainty on the part
of those who entered into it as to the way in which
it would be generally received, or the proportions of
it that might at once be thrown upon the market.
With the definitive absorption, however, of the
entire amount the investment will assume a more
steady character, and it is also a favourable cir-
cumstance that in the interval the supply of float-
ing capital seeking employment has greatly in-
creased. In any case the advantages to he deriv..d
by the public from the completion of this long-
delayed channel of communication are such that the
final raising of the means will be a subject of gene-
ral satisfaction.

Letters from Mexico describe the accident on the
Mexican Railway, which appears not to have been
from any inherent imperfection in the works. It
happened about two miles from Otumba, at a point
over which a train had passed with perfect safety
two hours previously, and was caused by the fall
of a waterspout, which occasionally, though rarely,
occurs on the plains of Mexico. The body of water
Was beingso great that, unable to discharge itself
th,
_ough the bridge of 40ft. span which crossed a
ravine,, and which, in ordinary times, is almost
urv,
it overflowed the embankment of the railway,
washing away the approach to the bridge, while the
rails remained in their place suspended over the
gap. Ten lives were lost, but considering that
the train contained nearly 100 passengers, it is
satisfactory there were not more victims.

A Cabinet Council was held this afternoon at
the residence of the First Lord of [the Treasury, Carlton-
terrace.

ON THE 12TII OF JULY, 356, OXFORD-STREET.--
This mysterious announcement in the various papers for
the past throe weeks is at last solved by the appearance of
ono of the novelties of the day, exactly in accordance with
the times. Mr. Pownceb,y, the proprietor, has opened one
•f the most unique and useful establishments in London,
for the sale of genuine wines and spirits, imperial measure,
either for domestic or medicinal purposes. At the same
time those persons (and there are many) who object to
frequent a public-house, have an opportunity of having a
splendid glass of wino at a really nominal charge. A pur-
chaser can now have a choice of winos of the finest brand
by ,ordering from what they practically drink, and at
wholesale pr:ces. The place alone is worthy of a visit,
being fitted up in the best possible taste, and peculiarly
adapted for the purpose. Our advice is, "Be sure you cal
as you pass by."-356, Oxford-street.
A SOLICITOR SUSPENDED FOR TEN YEARS.—The
Master of the Rolls delivered judgment to-day in re Best.
His lordship said that in his opinion the evidence fully
established the petitioners' CAS:,. Ho would not strike the
party off the rolls, but ha would suspend him from prac-
tising for ten years.
[ADVERTISEMENT.I—HoIIoway's Pills.—The slightest
indisposition, to prevent it rapidly running from bad to
worse, demands attention during the changeable weather.
A few doses of these thoroughly purifying and strengthen-
ing pills will always be beneficial when the least disorder
reigns or when nervous fears oppress. Two or three pills
at bed-time have the happiest effect in promoting perfect
digestion, whereby the muscles are rendered more vigor-
ous, the spirit more buoyant, and the entire frame more
hardy. Holloway's medicine increases the quantity of
nutriment derived from a given quantity of food, releases
the stomach from the disagreeable feelings attending in-
digestion, and the mind from the hypochondrial thoughts,
more annoying and more exhaustive to the nervous system
than absolute pain. I
