BIMETALLISM.
The collapse of the bimetallic movement in the House of Commons during Friday, May 4, when Mr Samuel Smith's motion that the Government endeavour to secura a stable par of exchange for gold and silver by an international agreement was counted out, has caused much comment. The secretary of the Bimetallic League says the apathy of the House is due to the fact that Mr Smith's motion had only a second place at the evening sitting, and the attendance waa bo small that a fall day's discussion will be secured later when a division could occur.
