FNGLAND.-The drain Of bullion from the
Bank OF England continues on even larger
scaic. The reported withdrawal since the
date nj the late return amounts to no less
than ESQ.,, 900. AT the commencement of
business on the 2lst the announcement went
forth that the maximum rate OF discount was
| advanced ; to 4 per cent. The price was re.
garded with general satisfaction but did not
| stop the withdrawal of gold, the withdrawal
| OF that dag amounting to ESQ, 900. The
Times says there is belief that the Bank
minimum will yet touch per cent. The
pressure, however, 10 likely TO be more than
| permanent.
The riotous proceedings at the Church OF
| st. Georges in East London reached most
disgraoeful height on sunday the Goth nlt.--
| The church was crnmmed with noisy mob,
who not only prevented the service from be-
ing performed, but endeavored to demolisa
the altar, and INDUCED in the paetime OF
throwing about cushions, prayer books, DO.
The officials OF the church we're treated with
personal violence, and considerable property
was destroyed. The matter had claimed the
attention of both Houses OF Parliament,
and the Government had promised TO adopt
measures to put stop to the disgracaful pro.
ceedings.
The following additional particulars in re-
lation to the loss of the New York packet
ship Endymion, will be interesting She was
lying in the stream ready to sail, when fire
suddenly brake out, from some cause un.
known, about O'Clock in the morning. In
addition to the crew, numbering 80, there
were 25 second cabin passengers on board
All Of them were saved, together with their
luggage. The vessel was scuttled, but the
receding tide left her we'll out Of water, and
in spite Of every exertion the flames ragged
for many hours. She had large and val
liable cargo, consisting of machinery, silks
and satins, crate goods, and general ner-
chandise, some portions OF which il was
supposed would be saved in damaged con-
dtion. Loss estimated at 100000. Ship
insured but il is not known whether the
cargo is covered.
The London Times in m editorial explains
the present position OF the San Juan diff
Guilty. 1t SAYS we havo reason to think the
proposals made to the Americans are such nv
may fairly satisfy both countries. Instead of
standing out for the Rosario Channel and the
whole group Of islands, as against the De-
haro Channel, q third channel is proposed
for the boundary line, which will not only
evade the two disputed courses, but will leave
the Americans IN possession OF the largest
share of disputed territory. This channel in
it's course cuts off the Island of San Juan
alone to the west, and Consequently leavesus
but this leland only, while the Americans
viii retaia the remainder. So considerable
in fact il tho concession thus made that II
reasonably suggests little compensation,
and we bolicve the American Government
will be asked to give US The whole of GER

lei now cuts 10 two. We hope this reasonable
proposal will be accepted.
