Much disappointment has been experienced among
the mercantile interest at the vague tenor of the advice,
received from the Brazile. At the same time we believe
that there is 'little doubt but that the iuformation we
have before mentioned will turn out to be correct, and
ft a favourable treaty will be concluded with the
Government. So satisfied are many of the
erchants, that such will be the case, that they
have commenced fresh speculation in goods suitable for
the Brazilian markets. There are large supplies of Bri-
tish goods now lying on hand, arid should the informa-
tion we hare receivede prove correct, there is not a doubt
entertained but that within a very short period after the
new treaty comes into effect, almost all will be cleared off,
and a fresh impetus be given to our trade by the concessions
made on both sides upon the basis of which the com-
merce between the two countries will hereafter be
carried on.
There is not a single arrival from the colonies to-day.
The weekly return of the Issue and Banking Depart.
ments of the Bank of England afford little matter of con-
vent to-day. In the notes issued there is a slight in•
crease, as also in gold coin and bullion. The rest is also a
shade higher. The public deposits have increased about
875,0001. ; ether deposits about 36,000/. ; whilst seven
days' bills show a decrease from 1,007,670/. to 972,959/.
The other items comprised in this fresh mode of deline-
ating the Bank's accounts vary but little from the
statement of last week.
It is stated that the Committee of Spanish American
Bondholders have postponed till next week the con-
sideration of the propositions of New Granada, which
were, to recognise 50 per cent. of the Colombian loans
as her debt, and to issue new stock to that amount, to
bear interest at the rate of 1 per cent. per annum, with
an annual increase of I per cent, until it reaches 6 per
cent. For the arrears of interest now due and accruing
till that time, new stock to be issued for cent.
per cent, of the principal, but these not to bear interest
for sixteen years, wheri they would commence at one per
cent. per annum, and increase 4 per cent. yearly until
they reach 3 per cent. The interests to be paid in to-
bacco of the factories of the Republic at the price of 16e.
per arroba. Bonds to be taken at par in payment for
national properties, and the entire tobacco revenue and
half the Customs to be pledged to the payment of the
dividends.

first transfer day next week. and 1004 to 4 for Account.
