men ? 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.

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
Increase 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. 911 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.
