what is officially recorded as shipped; great guam.
tity has also been brought home privately by pas
sengers, and we should not be far wrong in esti-
mating this amount at 60 5000 900 more; besides
which there remains to be taken into consideration
the quantity remaining in hand in the vasious Aus
tlalian settlements, and In Van Dieman's Land aud
New Zealand.
We fnd then, that, despite the large production
Of gold, no QUE country has been able to retain per-
manently any considerable hoard of the precious
metals Out OF the ESQ 900 900 raised in Aus
last two three years, have stock in the Bank
of England ccarcely as large al we had previous to
the gold discoveries, and our monetary require
ments are more stringent than ever. The
United States, although parting with only
the balance Of coin slipping out OF their
bands in continuous stream. The European States
and Eastern countries seem to be prodting most by
the absorption of bullion. The void In the metallic
currency CT most Of the continental nations IL fast
filing up and deprecated paper currency has been
to great extent withdrawn. Still, like quicksilver
you can scarcely follow the movements Of specie,
for it travels almost rapidly from place t, place
as the electric fluid.
The requirements of the great European Powers
for the.war now carrying on make heavy inroads
On the supplies of coin and bullion, and serve to
alter materially the usual flow of the metallic
tide. But these unusual circumstances must react
into the chief centres Of manufacturing production.
The Bank Of France and ts branches had, in 1874,
Gl0 $50 600 Of bullion in its cofers, which increas
ed 10 s25 800 ,o42 in June, 1882, and has de-
creased from that date to f13 ,430 ,255 at the
last return issued early il May this year. The
Bank of England has at present little more than
100000 OF specie in its vaults whilst the de.
maud i for discounts ~as never 80 continuously
heavy. The United States banks have little more
than El2000 900 sterlicg in specie, besides some
GOO locked up in tie government Treasury.
Every commercial country seems, therefore, as bare
OF coin and bullion as before the gold discoveries;
and, instead Of repletion, there are general COM
plants Of scarcity.
Such are the more salient features of the vast
picture presented by the oscillations Of this impor
liant metallic current, which Families and extends

NJ lie Baron-His Majesty the Gear wishes you to
take an opportunity Of expressing the dis asure
which he must feel at the singular behavior of the
Boyards towards the Russian troops which entered
the Princpalities for the purpose Of delivering them
for ever from the unbearable Turkish yoke. His
Majesty the Gear does not consider it permissible
that in such times as the present persons Of the same
faith as his Orthodox Majesty should be under any
other than Christian government. II the Walachi-
ansare 0omuch under the heterodox influence OF the
west Of Europe his Majesty cannot as the head Of the
orthodox Christians renqush the taak interested to
him by heaven which is to deliver for ever the fol-
lowers Of the true Christian-nAmely, the Greek re-
ligi0n, from the suzerainete Of Turkey. Since the
glorious accession of his Majesty the Gear this
thought has occupied him, and now the time has ar
rived for accomplishing his Majestys so long enter
tanned resolve in spite Of the opposition Of the other
powerless States Of heterodox Europe. We are with
God, and God is with M, and the victory viii be
ours. His Majesty the Gear orders you, Baron, to
give the B0yards aud the superior employees
ieprinand for their disloyal behavior towards our
troops. The time will soon come when these dis
y al Wsllachians VINO have excited the displeasure
Of his Majesty in the highest degree will be pun
shed severely for their behavior. Only be severe,
Baron, towards these lawless Wallachians; the Sc
verer you are, the better. Such is the will Of his
Majesty the Gear.

NEWS OF THE SCHUYLER FRAUDS IN

The London Times, of July 10, has the following
in its money article column:-"The advices from
the United States to-day by the Canada, which has
brought f48,000 in gold, contain nothing new re-
garding the stock and money markets. excepting
that a tendency to recovery had been suddenly
checked by the failure of Messrs. Robert & George
Schuyler, who had long occupied in railway affairs
leading position. Their liabilities supposed to
be extremely heavy; but the serious illness Of Mr.
Robert Schuyler and the absence in Europe of the
bookkeeper Of the firm had prevented the publica
ton of any statement Of their affairs. An expecta-
ton was held out that with time the assets will fully
cover all the debts; and, although this assertion is
too common to be worth anything, it is not impro-
bable that in better state Of the money market q
rise in railway securities may be witnessed sufi-
cient to cause it's fulflment."

in this article i intended IA reflect on HIM. But
in arguing n question of public Law. we are con-

is the security for the remaining S25O,0OO!-
