The Bank of England return completed to the
Bth of October is of a less favourable character, par-
ticularly as regards the bullion, and the reserve of
notes, which show a considerable diminution in
both instances. The other Securities have remained
without material change, while the Public and
Private Deposits also have not varied to any im-
portant extent. Subjoined are the particulars :

There is no material change in the condition o
the money market to-day, the inquiries being
numerous and the quotations firm. The general
appearance of the Bank of England return, however,
has attracted attention in discount circles, and it
also seems to have rendered some of the discounters
less eager for the negotiation of business at the
current rates.
The guaranteed interest of 6 per cent. on the
Royal Danish Railway shares will be payable on
and after the 25th inst.
An extraordinary meeting of the East India Coal
Company has been called for the 30th inst. for the
purpose of authorising the directors to borrow
money, on mortgage or otherwise, for a sum not
exceeding £25,000.
Notice has been given that all claims against the
South Sea Company are to be sent in without de-
lay.
Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets during the last few days has been rather
inactive. Tea at public sale sold slowly at about
previous rates. Sugars generally have been a
shade cheaper, but higher rates have been obtained
for coffee. Rice, fruit, and spices were in limited
request at about previous quotations. The tallow
market has been dull, and prices have slightly given
we, &or both present and forward delivery.

The Liverpool cotton market to-day was quiet,
at yesterday's prices; sales about 2,500 bales.
At Paris this morning, the Three per Cent. Rentes
were quoted 71f. 85c., being I per cent. lower than
yesterday.

The Commercial Gas Company's half-yearly meet-
ing took place to-day—Mr. C. S. Butler, M.P., in
the chair. The balance-sheet presented to the
shareholders exhibited a clear profit for the half-
year of £16,000, which is an increase of £2,000
over the corresponding period of 1861. The direc-
tors in their report, which was unanimously agreed
to, proposed a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent.
per annum for the six months.
Towards the close of business yesterday after-
noon the Funds dropped per cent., and a further
similar decline has taken place to-day, Consols
being now depressed at 93t 6 for transfer, and at
931 84 for the 6th pros. This heaviness has resulted
from speculative sales partly based upon the Bank
of England return, which shows a reduction in the
bullion and a falling off in the reserve of notes. It
is generally imagined that a further adverse move-
ment will take place in the next two or three
returns, and the possibility of the money market
assuming, under the circumstances, a rather firmer
appearance has led to a little speculation for a fall.

In the Foreign Market the transactions have

In the Railway Share Market there has been
very little animation, and prices have not -iaried
to any important extent. Great Westerns, North
Westerns, and North Eastern (Berwick), have im-
proved Sr., and Bristol and Exeter, 10s. Great
Easterns and Lancashire and Yorkshire have de-
clined 55., and Midlands 10s.
Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
are, in one or two instances, rather firmer. Lon-
don and Brazilian have improved to 16*; and Peel
River Land, 53.

Some citizens of Offenbach, in Hesse. Darmstadt

" General—A lively sympathy and high esteem induces the
Liberals of Offenbach to ask for news as to your health."

the brave citizens of Offenbach. I suffer, but do not com-
plain. All is going on well. The treatment will be long;
the cure is still distant,"
