The following interesting particulars relative to
the Merino wool flock of M. Amed4e Philibert,
of Atmanai, in the government of the Taurtde,
district of Millitopol (South Russia), are from a
circular issued by Mr. John Draper, of London-
wall :

The flock of Atosansi, situate on the shores of the Sea of
Ara, 35 vents from the port of Goenitechesk, and 150
vents from Berdiansk, cousists of 80,000 head of sheep.
The race springs from a flock of Negretti, iotrodnoad
1823 by the late Mr. Louis Phffilbert, the founder of the este-
blisluuent. The amelioration of this flock, tended with par-
ticular care, has had for result to produce a race of sleep
combining richness of fierce and the strength (nerve) of
the Negretti wool with the softness of the doctoral raw,
as may be verified by inspecting the fleeces ex
which obtained a priremedal at the InternationalTrlne%tfan
of 1862 (Claes IV., Section B, No. =3). The four ewe Omen
weigh 9i, 11, and 12j lbs.; and the two of rams, 21 and 961ba.
The commercial house of Othon Trithen, of Odessa, annually
sells the produce of this fleck at from 27 to 28 silver roubles
per pool, washed at 0. Trithen's wuhery at Cherson.
Since the death of the founder of the flock, the old mark
P has been retained by his son, Ame&e Philibert, the pre-
sent proprietor. Large sales of the ewes and rams are
effected every year. The sheep, kept in the open air during
almost the entire year, are inured to the great heats of
S,lnthern Russia, a. well as to the exceedse cold of the
steppes, and are, therefore, iodepeiriently of the merit of
the fleece, much sought after in consequence of their strong,
hardy, and robust nature. The ewes of the general class
sell at from 3i to 4 silver roubles (10.. to 12s. 6d.) each,
without the Beene, or at least two or three months after
shearing. The nuns fetch, according to their merit, from 10
to 150 silver roubles (from 30.. to 231.) each. Rams similar
to those which in Germany realise 150 to 200 theism (211.
to 281.) are sold at 75 roubles (11/.) In the year 1863,
10,000 ewes, shearlinge, and lambs, sad 300 to 400 rams,
will be offered for sale.
The return of the Bank of England for the week
ending Wednesday, Sept. 3, compared with that
for the previous week, shows the following changes :

The rather considerable addition to the private
securities indicates an increased demand for money,
but the reserve is only slightly treuched upon,
owing to the compensation afforded by the influx of
deposits. The increase in the bullion is less than
might have been expected, 390,0001. in imported
gold having been sent into the Bank during the
week, but at this saloon there are many with-
drawals of coin for harvest purposes.
