A marked improvement in the position of the
Bank of England is exhibited by the return com-
pleted to Wednesday last, which shows an increase
of notes and gold, and a falling off in the discount
Operations of the establishment. Subjoined is our

During the last few days the operations in the
Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets have not
been extensive. Tea has been dull, while sugar,
except for good grocery qualities, has been a shade
cheaper. Coffee has remained inactive at pre-
vious rates, while a good enquiry has been expe-
rienced for rice, but the fresh rates demanded by
importers have, in some measure, checked busi-
ness. The tallow market has exhibited more
animation, and a slight improvement has been
apparent for both present and forward delivery.
Although there is very little alteration either in
the demand for accommodation or the terms upon
which it is supplied, the discount market appears
a little easier, chiefly in consequence of the favour-
able alterations exhibited in the Bank of England
return.
The Pot:1E111h, which leaves to-morrow for India
and China, will take £140,289.

Scarcely any business has been transacted this
Morning in the English Stock Market, which still
Continues to exhibit a quiet and dull aspect. A
more encouraging feeling has been occasioned by
the favourable Batik return, but it has led to no
change in the quotations, Consols being now
just the same as those current last evening, viz.,

deavour to maintain undisturbed. Thanks to the

intellectual life is everywhere being rapidly deve-
loped, and its influence and position as a great
power aro continually becoming more powerful.

" The financial condition of the empire is becom-
ing more and more satisfactory. The credit of the
