The advance in the rate of dipolint at the Bank of
England is-still the topic of 'genertal conversation in the
~City, and the weekly returns of,iii'ssets and liabilities in
this evening's and next Friday's 3azette will show how
decided the drain of gold had set in. The directors should
have taken their precautionary step last month, for the
rates of exchange, as regards the principal continental
cities, have:not been arrested in their downward course,
and whether the balance of trade be against this country
or not,lFii. certain that gold to some amount bag

merchandise, is scarcely to be met with, and i°
unusually dear. The arrivals of bullion and gold

tively trifling. Owing to the holidays, fiery few buyer
were in „attendance, and the demand for all kinds of
