THE return of the Bank of England for the week ending the 2nd inst., shows the following cuanges compared with that for the week preceding : Increase in Circulation Increase in Public Deposits Increase in Other Deposits Decrease in Government Securities 32,903 Increase in Other Securities 681,819 Increase in Bullion Increase in Rest Increase in Reserve Bullion iii Both Departments Circulation, including Bank Post Bills The demand for money in the week included in the present return appears from the increase in the amount of private securities to have been very active; for it was suffi ciently large to absorb all the Bank's means wising from the public and private deposits during the period, besides necessitating the sale of some amount of stock. The Bullion shows only a nominal increase, and the whole stock remains at barely above nine and a half millions ; while the addition to the Reserve is only trifling. On the whole, the return presents little or no peculiarity, its chief feature being the evidence it contains of the unabated demand for money. Although the liabilities of the 4th were exceedingly well met, it is very doubtful whether there were not more re newals this month than at any previous period of the year. We seldom remember a time when there were more extensive complaints of a general want of money ; while its dearness is certainl j causing great embarrass ment, limiting production in some cases, destroying profits in others, and restricting legitimate commercial enterprise. Symptoms of impatience at this state of things are not wanting; but the time has not yet arrived for them to assume a specific and definite character so as to be com pressed into a general sentiment. It will, however, come, and come speedily, unless the market shortly presents fewer perplexities, and the profits of trade are retained by those who have legitimately earned them. The pressure this week h is been severely felt by large dealers, particu larly during the last day or two; but its intensity seems not to have been generally suspected until yesterday, when the Bank Directors not only called in their short advance., but refused to lead on Uovernment stock on any terms. Previously to this resolution they granted loans for seven days at seven per cent. Although this measure is regarded as aimed partly at the speculators on the Stock Exchange who carry on their operations by nseaus ri borrowed capital, and partly at the agents concerned in bullion operations with the Continent, its effect was far more general, as it was, apparently, an indication both of present difficulty and of future uncertainty. It was indeed re • g inled as essentially a part of the process, voluntary or otherwise, which is gradually rendering capital dearer in this country than elsewhere, and which, if continued, must produce effects not very pleas mt to contemplate. At, the same time it was also considered that the measure will tend to regulate the market by forcing the holders of stock to take it into the market in order to obtain the means for embarking in farther operations ; and as discounts remain unaltered at six and a half percent.,the inference was drawn that legitimate trade cannot be embarrassed by a special measure for a special object. There is some Inundation for this view ; but legitimate trade, nevertheless, regards all such changes as barometers of the state of credit, so that, although the immediate effect may be to regulate the market, the measure itself is cons dered an indication that some. degree of adversity is rot improbable. At all events, the change caused great dissatisfaction, and the Bank Directors are justly blamed for having made it without notice, and at a tune when it was sere to produce great inconvenience. Some palliation% have been suggested on theit behalf, such as that they are not bound to make such ntlyances at all, and that no one should depend upon ob taining them. No doubt. Then they should have con• tinned these loans for a few days longer, or have made the notification at an earlier period of the day. The explana tions, therefore, are not satisfactory ; and we are much mistaken if the Batik policy in such particulars will not be made the subject of animadversion in the coining par liamentary discussions upon the renewal of the charter. The arrivals of specie this week have been tinder 200,0101. The a hole of the guild brought by the Anglegen has at length been taken to the Hank ; but, on the other hand, the Bank has parted with various small amounts. The demand from the Continent has relaxed, and it seems probable that we shall reta.n a good deal in this country. The Continental and American Exchanges are favourable. Mr. Gladstone's C series of 2,000,(10)1. Exchequer Bonds were paid off today. A large proportion of them were hell by the savings banks ; and the Government broker to•day purchased 30,0(101. Exchequer Bills in their behalf, sc that it appears that a portion of the amount is to be reinvested in those securities. The purchases will, it is stated, be resumedlito•roorrow and next week ; but many persons think that either Consols or the New Threes will also lts• bought. In the early part of the week English Securities of all descriptions were held at improving quotations ; and the market retained much firmness until yesterday morning, when it suddenly fell upon the movement made by the SATURDAY, Bank. Afterwards they partially rallied, and to•day they fully recovered, except some rrilway stocks. Consols, which left off last Friday at 921 for the 7th May, fi na lly closed fir that account yesterday at 92/. They had been at 931 to lat one time. For the account of the 4th June they opened yesterday at 931 to 94. and they bad improved to 91 to 1, when the restrictive measure adopted by the Hank was announced. The immediate effect was a fall of a half per cent.,followed by a grave state of perplexity as nothing of the sort was expected, and ail the dealers, were operating for higher prices. One dealer, however, of well known connections, was a constant seller from the opening • but this circumstance was n u t p art i cu l ar l y remarked until after the announcement. The lowest price of the day was 931 to a ; but subsequently less anxiety was felt concerning the change, and a gradual recovery took place to 93a to 1. Tne decline established during the day was therefore a quarter per cent. Today they opened at 931, and closed at 91 to 1, after having been several times at. 1/41 to 1. The settlement has passed off well. Railway Shares have generally shown an improving character during the week. Certainly they did so up to yesterday morning, but the change made by the Bank led at once to a fall or fully five-eighths per cent., and a heavy market, which at present does not appear likely to recover very rapidly. Grand Trunk of Canallas have declined four per cent. during the week, in consequence of some unfavourable rumours with regard to the tieancia! arrange ments with the Government ot . Canada. French shares have rather recovered, but the market is not yet steady. To-day the market was unsettled, in constquence of a large operator having sold heavily some of the principal stocks. Caledonians, however, improved one per cent.; and Sheffields considerably. The Foreign Market has not changed much.

Miss ARABELLA GODDARD brought the sixth and last of her soirees to a close on Wednesday night. These performances have been remarkable in more than one point of view as regards art, and have as suredly been most glotions to the artiste, who has proved herself to be the greatest pianiste this country has ever produced. The speciality of these enter tainments has been in a complete revival of the in tense interest which was created in musical circles some years since by the formation and progress of the Beethoven Quartet Society, under the auspices of the well known amateur, the late Mr. Alsager. After his death the society, after a vain struggle on the part of M. ltousselot to prolong its existence, soon ceased to exist, and then the later works and post humous productions of Beethoven were only heard at rare intervals; but eventually, in more senses than one, Miss AraLella Goddard had the courage to attack the grand sonata in B flat, op. 100, with a tremendous " fuga a tee voci con alcune licenzie," to borrow Beethoven's designation. This per formance will not easily be forgotten. It was given without a book by the juvenile player, awl she earned the highly honourable sobriquet from some entliu siastic amateur of the Key of the Sonata. It was pr. bably this triumph which suggested the present Beethoven soirees, at which Miss A. Goddard has taken in turn those sonatas numbered as Op. 101, 100, 100, 110, and 111, marvellous elaborations, exacting executants of totally exceptional gifts and abilities to render; and it has been by the trium phant interpretation of these works that a complete impetus has been given to the Beethoven contro• versy. Art gains by such discussion, and it is a proud distinction for a young English pianiste to have provoked the agitation of the question how far the imaginings at the close of the Beethoven works are to be accepted as the commencement of a new era in musical writings. It is all very well for tie inferior order of pianoforte players to pronounce the last sonatas of Beethoven as impracticable and abstruse ; but such assertions arise mainly from in capacity or from a want of energy to overcome the mechanical intricacies of the works. The Beethoveh Qaartet Society proved that clear and intelligible interpretations of the posthumous compositions coald be effected ; and Miss A. Goddard has been equally successful in demonstrating that the sonatas are as "plain as a pikestaff," and that those who " run may read," if• they will take the trouble to listen to her magnificent. development of the composer's inten tions. As an intellectual player the Beethoven soirees have unquestionably placed Miss Goddard o❑ tile I ighest pinnacle of executive skill ; ant it is not on the ground, therefore, of her mastery of the minutest details that we pin our faith on her future, astounding as was the ease with which every in tricacy was vanquished—really the most difficult feats seemed like child's play to her—but it is on the sentiment which she evinced in the slow movement. The composer marks this, " Adagio sostenuto, appassionata e con moito sentimento." Now, this was completely realised. The gloom and despon dency which the musician so vividly presents in this adagio were most poetically brought out, displaying indeed an amount of profound feeling which on no firmer occasion had we conceived Miss Goddard to be imbued with. After the ovation so justly be stowed on her at the close of the 13 flat sonata, it would be useless to dwell on her execution of those curious thirty two variations on the theme in C minor, which run on in such an extraordinary manner, nor on her share in Mozart's sonata in A, in which she nad a clever violin coadjutor in M.
