bers of the London Stock Etchange, taken with the private advices received to-day of the failure of three mors. Australian banks, gives a lowering aspect to things financial Fears are entertained of a panic in London, and

this week will doubtless be an auxious

one in commercial cirles at Home and elsewhere. It is possible the tension caused by theaa repeated bank fallures in Australia may cause a great rup on gold in London and if such run bogins, is may be asked where is the gold to sono from. There is not enough to go round, as Mr Goschen intimated not so very long age, when things looked less black than they I do now; and, if it is demanded, what will be the consequence? Those who favour the sing of silver, and so put- ting our metallic curcaner (and that of the world generally) on a wider and firmer baza, are in hopes that out of evil good may come. Peoples eyes, they hope, may then be opened to the folly of burdening gold with the entire weight of the biggest portion of the world's commerce, while the white metal is practically kicked out of its place by nearly every European Go- vernment. Whatever may be the prac- tical outcome of the present bimetallic gitation and of the unfortunate crisia in the Australian Colonies, think. ing men are coming round to the belief not only that something must be done that concession has been generally made for a long time-but that England should take the lead and favour the use of silver so as to ense off the undue pressure upon goki. The old argument of supply, and demand, which he ever been the refuge of monometallista, cuts both ways, an international agreement to cease the demonetisation of silver would certaiúly affect the question of supply, and denrod, and restore in some MASKERTO the old relative values of the metala, the abandonment of which has been so disastrous, and still threatens to bring dire calamity upon all concerned. I may not be altogether wise to make deductions upon the callapes of the banking system of Australia, which is perhaps to be explained by reasons entirely apart from the metallic con-
