The Bank of England return, completed to thr sb

increased demand for coin for circulation in Scot-
land. There is an augmentation in the reserve of
notes of about a quarter of a million sterling.
The increase in the demand for money, owing toA et

be advanced has caused an addition
of

The official returns relating to trade and naviga-
t
tion for the nine months ending the 30th Septem- :t;
ber have just been published. From these it
st:
appears that the total declared value of the exports st(
from the United Kingdom for the above period it):
have been £101,724,346 against £98,037,311 in the
like period of 1849. showing an increase of ;
n
£3,687,035. The increase is most perceptible i
cotton manufactures, cotton yarn, earthenware, linen gt(
yarn, machinery, salt, silk manufactures, British
spirits, sheep and lambs wool, and woollen manufac- st!
tures. The importations of the principal articleshave st(
been larger as regards live animals, cocoa, coffee, st(
st
wheat, flour, raw cotton, fruit, leather manufac-
tures, provisions, spices, unrefined sugar, tallow-,
tea, tobacco, wine, and sheep and lambs' wool. The
shipping accounts exhibit a slight decrease in the :t4
amount of tonnage employed in the foreign trade
of the United Kingdom for the nine months for the ;
entries inwards ; but for the clearances outwards
there is an increase of 327,303 tons. In the coast-
'I
ing trade for the like period there were 455,940
tons more employed for the entries inwards, and
520,968 tons for the clearance outwards than they
were in the previous year.
Increased business is apparent in the Market for
Public Securities owing to some speculative sales.
Further withdrawals of gold are anticipated, and
the movement it is thought will precipitate an ad-
vance in the rate of discount. Consols are 924 3 for
money, and the Bth inst., and 923 93 for the De-
cember account. The New 3 per Cents. and the
Reduced have declined to 911-, d ; Bank Stock has

TRANSMISSION OF WHEAL—The American a(
vices report a further increase of activity in the transmis-
sion of wheat from the West under the influence of another
rise equal to about Is. 6d. per quarter at New York. On
the whole there is every sign that our dealers will find, as
on former occasions, that they have hitherto underrated
the extraordinary capability of the 'United States to send
us supplies. In other respects there is no important intel-
ligence. The money-market remains easy, specie is accu-
mulating, and confidence in the restored railway traffic is
well maintained. The formal completion of the first sec-
tion of the Atlantic and Great Western line, which is ulti-
mately to connect the Erie Railway with the entire rail-
way network of the west and south, was to take place on
the Ist of next month. According to the New York Tri-
bune the remainder of the work is being rapidly pushed,
and, " so far as finished, it has been well done in every re-
spect."
GOLD COINAGE IN AMERICA.—The experiment
of a small gold coinage in Amerioa, appears to have ended
unsatisfactorily. When the dollar pieces were first intro-
duced, shortly after the Californian dicoveries, they were .
eagerly sought in all quarters, and since that period the
value of the quantity struck off at the various mints has
amounted to an aggregate of £3,60.0,000.
that But they are
now so unpopular' from their smallnesss they pour
rapidly back into the hands of the Government collectors,
and the Secretary of the Treasury has just odered 600,000
worth to be remelted and converted intoj double eagles. It
is expected, therefore, that no more will be t
are especially annoying, it is said, to the Custom-house and
Sub-Treasury officials, since, whenever any amounts are
exchanged, they must be counted one byontae,mthe facility
with which they can be counterfeited and _ pered. with
rendering it unsafe to determine their number by weight.
IRON-PLATED SHIPS.—On Wednesday evening
the Admiralty issued letters to the following iron-ship
building firms, calling on them to send inn nders ont or
before the sth of November for the contion oftwo
West-
iron-cased frigates, viz. :—Messrs. Sarauda,
s Yard
wood, Baillie, Campbell, and Co., and the Co,
Messrs.
Company, aof London; Messrs. Napier and ,of
Glasgow; Messrs. Laird, of Birkenhead; and Messrs.
Palmer, of the Tyne. These two new ships are to be as
nearly as possible similar to the Warrior, now in the course
of building. The ship which it is intended to construct a
Chatliam dockyard will be also of the same class. Array
and Navy Gazette.
SERIOUS BOILER EXPLOSION.—About one o'clock
yesterday afternoon three men were seriously injured by
the explosion of a boiler, in the waggon shop of the Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire Railway Company's locomotive
works, at Miles Platting, near Manchester. The boiler
was one of a pair of 30-horse power, horizontally fixed.
Each is about 23 feit long and 6 feet diameter, and manu-
facture 1 by the company. The one which burst (both ends
giving way) was the one nearest the engine, which was just
being started again after the dinner hour,
