A further importation of specie, viz., 76,6441., is
4lb3llnced by the Maidstone, from Victoria.
There were no gold withdrawals from the Bank
• terday, and it is imagined that the recent sup-
tba from Australia will suffice, at all events for
e Present, to meet the requirements of exporters
til
the Continent. The whole of the remittance by
the Norfolk will be absorbed, but it is not yet
ige In
lltioned to what purpose the amounta brought
iY thelndemnity and the Maidstone will be
:lied. It will been seen from the table given
~_°ye, that the efflux of silver to the East has in-
19d, and the diversion of gold to the Continent
the purchase of the requisite quantity of silver,
"41 he augmented in proportion.
The demand for money continues steady, but the
"ems are easy.
The • market for English Securities is very fiat,
Zd business is inactive. Sales preponderate, and
're is evidently a want of confidence among the
I.,_l*4lllators, although it is difficult to find any sub-
rtial reason for a decline in prices. Consols
the account, ex dividend, are 95i 1. The New
Threesi and the Reduced are 951 Indian De.
'Auras are 998- ; and Exchequer Bills, 30s. prem.
Lsince Monday last the imports of specie have
"°•etl about 870,3781., and the exports 304,3701.,
Zollsive of the following shipments direct from
ildon to the Continent during the week ending

GOVERNMENT EmloßaTloN.—The Government emi-
grant ship Alfred, 1,278 tons, Captain Cossey, sailed
from Liverpool ou Thursday, the 17th inst., for More-
ton Bay, New South Wales, in charge of Surgeon-
Superintendent J. Hayden Brownfield, with 76 married
couples, 126 single men, GO single women, 3$ boys be-
tween the ages of 1 and 12, 42 girls between the same
ages, six male infants and 10 female, making a total of
434 souls, equal to 378 statute adults.
We (Northern Whig) understand that Mr. William
Sharman Crawford has been summoned to appear be-
fore the parliamentary committee at present investigat-
ing the distress in Donegal, for the purpose of giving
evidence on the question. Mr. Crass f vrd left town last
night (Wednesday) for London. We anticipate that he
will be able to lay some important ieformation before
the committee.
Representations are made of the necessity of extend-
ing to the principal outports the plan by which the
Warehousing of tobacco iu London has been thrown open
to public oonapetiti m. A letter from Newcastle-upon•
Tyne complains that holders of tobacco at that place,
compelled to bond it in the Customs' warehouse, find the
rent charged extravagantly high. Bales, it is said, are
now lying at the Victoria Docks at a charge of N per
cent, per annum upon the value of the goods, which, if
removed to Newcastle to suit the convenience of owners,
Would cost 17 per cent.
SouTnAmrToN, June 18.—The screw steamer Bo-
ttis•ia, Captain Trautmacu, sailed hence to-day, at 2
P•ne, for New York, with over 400 passengers and '4
large cargo. The Royal Mail Company's steamer Der-
went, Captain Taylor, having been thoroughly repaired
and refitted, leaves on Monday next to resume her in-
ternational service on the West India station. The
Cambria and Valetta steamships are both expected
here on Sunday, the former with the Australian and
the latter with the Bombay mails. The Northam leaves
on Sunday with the outward mails for Calcutta,
China,
CnosSEn CUEQUEs.—Communications continue to be
received suggesting methods by which bankers may be
Protected from the ranger of paying cheques from which
crossings have been erased. One correspondent points
out that crossings might be made by means of a stem")
which should produce perforations. Another, that
Cheques intended to be paced through the clearing-
house might be printed in red, the others being in
black. Neither of these methods, however, would
afford facilities for OA casual holder of a free cheque to
tie it up subsequently, either iu a general way, by
!axing the words "and Company, or by making
!t special to his own banker. The true plan consists
in the use of chemical paper, and if bankers do not
Choose to resort to this there need he little sympathy
for any losses they may sustain. They can wake it
a condition with their customers that cheques drawn
upon plain paper shall not be paid, or that they shall be
Paid only through a banker. Should they consider i
against their interests to impose this re-trictiou, they
must accept the responsibility in such cases, few i
u”taber, of oxen:Wag a little extra vigilance.—Tenter.
