This return exhibits some curious and once...
features. The week to which it refers included two
days dividend payments, whilst the additional heavy
disbursements on government account, in the shape
of civil list payments, official salaries, &c., had also
to be deducted from the item of "public," or trea-
sury " deposits," which is consequently, it is worthy
of note, reduced to a remarkably low amount as
compared with the corresponding week of former
years. From the large and extraordinary increase
in the amount of government securities held by the
Bank we arc at once led to infer that the directors
have been lending largely to government on
Deficiency Bills, &c., with a view to assist
it over the immediate pressure of the mo-
ment, hampered as government must undoubtedly
be by the partial repayment of the June Exchequer
Bills. The " other," or private securities show a
further considerable diminution, which is partly
traceable to the repayment of advances made by the
Bank to the public during the shutting of the trans-
fer books. The continued downward movement of
this item shows clearly that the commercial public
have deserted the Bank and applied for accommoda-
tion elsewhere. In fact the opinion is strengthened
that the Baok of England, by fixing so high a rate
for accommodation, has been reserving itself to assist
the government at their period of need at the begin-
ning of the new quarter. Whether such
a course is calculated to serve the com-
mercial community, and whether trading interests
generally would not have been benefited had
the Chancellor of the Exchequer abstained, in the
then temper of the market, from carrying forward,
at all hazards, his project for the reduction of the in-
terest on Exchequer Bills, are questions respecting
which two opinions will now be scarcely entertained.
The decrease in the Bank's stock of the precious
metals, although partly due to the demand for coin
caused by the heavy quarterly disbursements above re-
ferred to, is yet a remarkable feature, inasmuch as it
is in face of a very large importation of gold from
Australia. The movement in this item comes in con-
firmation of our assertion that, of the heavy imports
of Australian gold by the last Australian steamer,
and numerous sailing vessels, seemly any has been
presented to the Bank for purchase, these supplies
being shipped off to the continent as soon as the
--as of melting can be gone through.

THE CHOLER.I IN DENMARK—A letter from
Copenhagen, the sth, says, " The cholera continues to
incree'e in our capital, and, as on former occasions, more
than the half of the persons attacked are carried off by it.
Oa the 3rd there were 26 new cues, and 16 deaths ; on
the 4th, 33 cases, and 20 deaths ; and up to noon to-day,
there have been 8 cases, and 6 deaths. Since the com-
meLeeuicnt of the disease there have been 188 cases, and
106 deaths. The cholera at Copenhagen has not been
preceded by soy of the gastric affections, such as diarrhcei,
dysentery, &c., which have always been its forerunners. On
the contrary, on the 12th of June, the day on which it first
appeared, the sanitary state of Copenhagen was perfectly
satisfactory, and the weather delightful ; the temperature
moderate and steady.
