I send you these few hints in the hope of eliciting the opinions of others, or, what is better, the mutual co-operation of the Church and the Con servative party, who are the natural supporters of the Church. I send you my name, with some little evidence of my continued earnestness and activity in the good old cause of Church and St tae.—Yours truly, L. S. E. Nov. 25th, 1857. Cotter . '"ltarket anb dttg FRIDAY EVENING. TILE return of the Bank of England for the week ending Wednesday last, the 2nd inst., shows the following changes compared with that for the week prece , ling : Decrease in Circulation Increase in Public Deposits Decrease in other Deposits 513,330 Decrease in Government Securities 465,800 Lecrease in Other Securities I n crease in Bullion Increase in Rest .......... 1%177 Increase in Reserve 1130,670 Bullion in both Departments Circulation, including Bank l'ost Bills The specie movements of the week have been important. About 250,0001. in silver have been de spatched to Hamburg, and farther amounts will follow. Considerable amounts of gold have arrived from Russia, all of which have been sent into the Bank, which since this day week has purchased to the extent of 250,0001. To the United States less than 20,0001 has been sent, end about an equal amount has been received thence. The royal mail steamer Orinoco brought 3110,0001 ; of this sum 200,000/. was in silver, and 100,0001. gold. The former is likely to be sent to Hamburg, and the latter into the Bank. The packet which leaves Southampton to day takes out 408,9011., nearly all in silver, for India and China. Silver, owing to the demand, is firm, and the stocks nearly cleared out. About l,200,00::/. Australian gold is now at sea, a great portion of which may arrive any day. Consols have been generally steady during the week. Last Friday they closed nt st il to I, and on Monday they advanced to 011 to if, which were the highest quotations of the week. This price induced sales, and subsequently they were as low as 90i to 91, but the average price has been 911. This morn ing they opened at . 9 11 to I, and after declining to 90} to b in consequence of some adverse rumours, they rallied and finally closed at Oli to 4. A considerable advance has occurred in Turkish Six per Cents. since our last. It is about three per cent. This is the only prominent feature in the Foreign Market. Railway Shares have generally supported the im proved prices of this day week; and though there have been some fluctuations, the market on the whole has been steady and firm. Some of the lines running to the north, and those connected with the manufac turing districts, have suffered in their traffics ; the shares consequently are flatter, but whenever there has been a favourable opportunity the public have become investors, and quotations thus maintained. Joint-stock Beaks have now effectually recovered the late fall, and are generally firm. The Trade Reports from the provinces are bad. Employment is diminishing, and no profits are being made by employers. Per Cent., Basilian 6 Danish 5 Dish. (F.:12 Guil )2i 'ration 3 Do. 4} Do.

Sir,—l read some weeks ago with very consider able interest your remarks upon the present relative position of the Church and the Conservative party ; and I have waited with no less anxiety to see whether any Churchman would respond in any way to your vety pertinent and excellent observations. But, as I have hitherto waited in vain, I have thought that, as one deeply interested in the subject, T would just say that I perfectly agree with you that the Conservative party is the only party to which the Church can look for her best support and protection ulider present circumstances ; and, also, that it only requires a little wisdom and prudenee on the part of the Con • servatives to secure to themselves all the support which the Church can afford to them. And that support, I will add, is not under present cirettm• stances to be despised or neglected by them ; for it is my conviction that if roused to a healthy state of activity and earnestness the Church, in conjunction with the Conservative party, could carry everything her own way. The great loss to both has been the pandering of Conservatives to Liberalism, and the consequent distrust of the Church in the Conserva tive party, and her casting about to see who would take up her cause in earnestness and sincerity. I cannot, of course, enter into particulars, especially with regard to the past, but only to refer to the recent Divorce Act and the Burial Acts. What are the latter but a series of studied injuries and insults and annoyances to the clergy—anti what is the Divorce Act but an act for divorcing of the Church from the State ? And, as you have already shown, if the Coronation Oath be not snfficient to protect th 3 liberties, and immunities of the Church, to what are we to tly for that protection which the Crown has hitherto failed to award us, but to what is exiled the Conservative party? But where was the Con servative party on the passing of the Divorce Act in the I louse of Lords, when two or three votes would have thrown that iniquitous act to the winds? Will the Conservative party now unite and exert their power and influence for the repeal of that abominable act ? IL' they do, so unanimous are the clergy in condemn -1.4 it, that the Conservatives would obtain a vast accession of solid and lasting strength by opposing it with that pluck with which O'Connell, for instance, would have opposed anything which he believed to be detrimental to the Popish community and interests. To whom, indeed, are the clergy indebted for the more powerful opposition to the Divorce Act but to Mr. Gladstone and his small band of good Church. BANK OF ENGLAND.

The malt trade has ruled steady , on former terms. Large supplies of oats have come to hand, and the oat trade has been less t acive, at last wek's currency.
