London, England, 1856-10-14 00:00:00

Although the arrivals of gold from Australia and
America during the last two days have been large
they have not produced any change for the better
in the present position or future prospects of the
Money Market, and it is questioned whether the
further sums which are known to be on their way to
this country will be sufficient to supply the wants
of the Bank of France, without causing a further
reduction of the bullion in Threadneedle-street.
On Saturday and yesterday about 150,0001. is be-
lieved to have been taken for the continent, and if
the withdrawals continue at this rate, the stock of bul-
lion will speedily be reduced to a very low figure.
About 196,0001. in specie arrived yesterday from
America, Ike., and 368,0001., viz., 92,000 ounces,
are reported this morning from Australia by the
Champion of the Seas. Other ships, among them
the James Baines, are supposed to be near at hand,
with heavy specie freights, which will probably
render some assistance to the Money Market.
The advices from America, per Asia, mention
that the money market was getting tighter on ac-
count of the stringent policy pursued by the city
banks, whose last weekly return showed a decline
in the loans and discounts of $723,230. The specie
in the same time, owing to the large remittances
to England, was smaller by $1,397,465.
The intelligence received from Australia, per
Champion of -the Seas, has generally been antici-
pated by the overland mail. We have frequently
called attention to the slovenly manner in which
the letters by the Australian mail ships are for-
warded from Liverpool to London, and further
complaints are now made with regard to those
brought by the above vessel. Part of the letters
were delivered this morning, and telegraphic ad-
vices just received state that other portions of the
mail were sent away by the 4 and 7 o'clock a.m.
trains. Surely such repeated carelessness as this
requires •fficial remonstrance.
Public Securities are rather heavy, but the deal-
ings are limited. The payment of the dividends
on Government Securities has commenced, and the
public continue to make purchases of stock for in-
vestment. These keep up the prices of the Funds,
which otherwise would probably have been still
further depressed. Speculators, however, operate
with diffidence and limit their engagements. The
further decline of the Rentes at Paris tends
to increase the weakness of English Securities.
Consols for money this morning have been 914 to
and for account, 92 to 921, and 91i 92. Tney
are now about 911 for the former, and 91/ for
the latter. The New Three per Cents. are 911,
and the Reduced 90,1 s. Exchequer Bonds are

91 and 911. The 4 per Cents. are also flatter, viz.,
99# R.. Spanish Threes have r; en to 42/ Rus-

Business in the Railway Share Market is now

the settlement commence to-morrow. Great
Western and Brighton sh;ixes have slightly
improved. The Colonial Lines have been steady,
and French have declined abottt per cent.
