Swiss 1lleht HG5 consented 70 TIE principle Of
ffemunerating the King Of Prussia forthe abandon
ment of his claims on Neufchatel. The only news
from Spain is that there will be large Ministerial
majority in the new representative body. The
i" sparring' between Austria and Piedmont is likely
to continue; but there is little danger of their
ing to blows, as France, England, Russia, and Prus-
STA are by inclined to permit them to dis
turb the peace of Europe. The statement that the
Prussian Government is mediating between the
Western Powers and Naples is correct; the Aus
TRANS do not believe that the mediation will be sue
cessfu as it is patent fact that his Neapolitan
Majesty is resolved on making none but seeming
concessions" The beautiful piece of ground at
Pera, which the Sultan has presented to England
for the site of Protestant church, is said to be

The returns of the Bank of England for the week
which ended April 4th showed the following state
ments: Decrease in the coin and bullion, e643 ,S39
in the reserve of notes. 81, 120 ,645; increase in
the discounts and advances, e40T ,035; and de-
crease in the private deposites, e76S, 44S. These
changes are fully as unfavorable had been antic
pated There is room to hope, however, that the
worst of the immediate pressure is past The heavy
repayments falling due at the bank will soon strength
en- its immediate resources, provided the commercial
public not again rendered borrowers OF the IN
stitution to an inordinate extent.
The condition of the Bank of France is consider
ed favorable; the bullion has increased s5l0, 100
and the circulation increased e563, 900. The low
amount of the Government deposites is occasioned
by the payment of the halfyearly dividend on the
4 per cent rentes. The export of silver from
England to India is one principal cause ofthe di-
minished resources of the Bank of England. Last
year the expectation of silver averaged one million
per month; this year it has, so far, averaged
81, 1906 900 per month. Bearing in mind that
these enormous supplies of silver are drawn prnoi-
pay from the continent and paid for il gold, there
will need very little further explanation of the re-
ducton of the stock of the latter metal held by the
bank
