As we notified last night, news has been received by the American Mail that the United States Legislature is about to resume specie payment in silvo. This will tend a little to allay the palio- for the recent abnormal state of the silver market has been nothing more nor less-which has brought exchange on dollars to the lowest known ebb in the ever fluctuating tide of of silver money value. Exchange bus rison a trifle here already, or, more correctly, there is now some market for silver. As we have before indicated there is little chance of the Germans being able to carry to a sud- cessful issue the bold game they are playing, probably for political reasons, with a view to reduce the value of silver. Germany will have to follow the example of the United States, and silver will, in the not very remote future, resume its proper position, not only as a marketable com- modity, but as a monetary standard.

This month's steamer took 106 cabin passengers from Sydney, and 100 from New Zealand, principally visitors to Philadelphia Exhibition. The two next steamers will be equally full.

Special efforts are now being made to test the contiguity of our coal measures to the port of Sydney. Two trial shafts will be sunk close to the harbour.

Subscriptions are asked by the lung. kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation for £274,915, being the unissued balance of the Imperial Chinese Loan of 1874. The bonda bear interest at 8 per cent., and are repayable by yearly drawings within nine years, so that, if China really means to pay It will be borrowing at a very high rato. After the experience which the public have had of such wonderful investments it would be surprising if the money was subscribed here.

The Manchester people have contrived to get up considerable exoltement with respect to the duty of 5 per cent. imposed in India upon British Cotton Goods.
