It is assumed from the results of the above figures that
the Bank Directors are on their " good behaviour" now that
the Bill for the renewal of the Charter is in its progress
through the House of Commons. Good policy this, and per-
fectly safe too. The decrease in the amount of the immense
stock of bullion is too insignificant to attract attention.
Foreign grain is, however, coming in freely, and this will
require specie in liquidation to some extent, probably before
the harvest, to the extent of a million sterling or over.
A brisk market has prevailed for most of the Stocks to-
day. Consols for Money, and the Account have been at
994 a, and Reduced Annuities at 981. Bank Stock has
marked 1984 for the Account, and 198 for Money. Exche-
quer Bills are at 745. 72.. premium. India stock at 2854,
and the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. at 1024 a
A shade of improvement must be quoted in the Foreign
Market. Spanish Three per Cents. have been sold at 354,
and the Five per Cents. at 241. The Dutch Five per Cents.
are at 1004 ; Austrian, at 1134 ; Chilian, Deferred, at 544 ;
and Mexican, at 31.11 .
The principal feature in the Railway Share Market, is a
fall in the London and Birmingham to 123 premium. In the
other Shares the alterations have been slight this morning.
Santiago de Cuba Shares have receded to 414 premium ;
Bolanos Scrip has been sold at 7, the United Mexican Mines
at 4, and Union Bank of London Shares at 124, or 24 pre-
mium the share.

DUTCH AND FLANDERS MAIL.
BRUSSELS, MAY 22.—The King arrived at Brus-
sels this afternoon, at half-past five o'clock, end im-
mediately went to Lacken.
The King of Saxony is to leave Dresden on the
25th, and to arrive at Brussels on the 27th.
A German journal announces, on the authority of
recent accounts from St. Petersburgh, that the Em-
peror Nicholas will go, at the beginning of July, to
Carlsbad, where there will be important negotiations.
A French Ministerial journal contains this state-
ment in the following terms :—" The Emperor of
Russia, the Emperor of Austria, and the King of
Prussia are to go to Carlsbad at the end of the month
of June.
The storm which raged on Sunday night did con-
siderable damage in several parts of the country about
Namur. The crops have suffered severely ; whole
fields are laid, since which there have been high
winds and incessant rain ; and there is reason to fear
great disasters.
The Chamiser continued the debate on the several
questions put by M. Dumortier, and by the Minister
of the Interior. It decided,
Ist. That differential duties shall be established in
favour of the flag and the place or origin. -
2d, That, with some exceptions, they shall be for
the first year only half on certain raw materials.
3d. That the productions of Asia, Africa, and
America coming to Belgium, direct from the place
where they are produced, and under the flag of the
countries to which they belong, or from which they
come, shall be admitted on the same terms as under
the Belgian flag, when that flag shall be treated in
those cases on the same footing as the national flag,
and that to establish this reciprocity, which shall not
exist of right, nothing more shall be necessary than a
decision of the Government.

MAY 23.—T0-day the Chamber decided in the
affirmative, three questions relative to the entrepots
moved by the Minister of the interior.
Ist. Teat there shall be an intermediate category
for certain articles coming from the place where they
are produced on this side of Cape Horn, and of the
Cape of Good Hope.
2d. That there shall be an assimilation to articles
coming from the place where they are produced for
certain articles coming from the entrepOts beyond
Cape Horn.
3d. The same assimilation for certain articles com-
ing from the entrepOts beyond the Cape of Good Hope.
A confused discussion then arose on the question of
the European entrepots, and then M. Delfosse asked
that the question should be put whether exceptions
should be made in favour of the Dutch entrepots.
The Minister of the Interior declared, that if that
question were to be discussed, he should demand a
secret convention. The question was then decided in
the affirmative, as it had been moved by the Minister,
that is to say, that there shall be for an indefinite
term an exception in favour of the entrepOts of the
Mediterranean, the Baltic, and Holland, on certain
articles to be hereinafter specified. The application
to be discussed in a Secret Committee.
To-morrow the Chamber will commence the dis-
cussion of the tariff.
AMSTERDAM, MAY 22.—We learn from the Hague,
that the Commissioners for the projected railway be-
tween Maestricht and Aix-la• Chapelle have arrived
at the Hague, in order to learn from his Excellency,
the Minister of Finance, whether they. may hope to
obtain the Royal license required for undertakings of
this nature. It appears that the 'subscription of the
capital necessary for the purpose is full, and there-
fore that the Government would not have to add to
the fund; but the Company_ which undertakes to
construct and work this railway wishes that the
State should cede to it, for a certain number of
years (ninety it is said), the coal-mines of Kerkrade,
in the Duchy of Limburg, belonging to the State, as
a guarantee for a minimum of interest; at the expira-
tion of that time the State would recover the posses-
sion of its mines, and the railway would become the
public property.—Neeive .Rotterdamsche Courant.
TUE HAGUE, MAY 24.—His Excellency the Mi-
nister of Finance has communicated to the States-
General the result of the subscription to the voluntary
loan, and the gratuitous donations decreed by virtue
of the law of the 6th of March last. The first in-
stalment on the eighth part of the 1:17,0.00,00f.
would amount to 14,087,5000 f.. 25c. The sum
actually paid in, up to the 18th of May, inclusive, is
28,815,370 florins.
PETERSEURGH' MAY I.—The Emperor has issued
an Ukase which (as already in the. Guards), the
punishment of the bastinado is prohibited in the whole
army, except in case of extraordinary criminality,
and that, id such cases, the punishment is not to be
inflicted at the discretion of the colonel of the regi-
ment, but by virtue of a sentence pronounced by a
court-martial. Those persons who act against those
orders are to be severely punished.
STETTIN, MAY 17.—:Our Government has resolved
considerably to enlarge our harbours, so that the
largest merchantmen will be able to come up to the
town.
