The Bunk of England weekly return exhibits for the
period to the 13th inst. various important changes, in-
duced by the dividend payments and the termination of
the financial quarter. There was a repayment of loans
to a large amount, and an addition to private balances,
while the sum to the credit of the Government was
lessened by more than one third. The active circula-
tion was augmented, and in unison therewith there was
a decline in the precious metals. The following is a
comparison with the previous return:—

Trieste 10 56 to 11.
The following particulars were received by the lasi
steamer from the United States, and are dated Prinza,
palka, Mosquito, July 22 :
" Since my last, affairs on this part of the Spanish
Main have taken a more definite turn than heretofore.
The English agent, or Consul. General, has virtually
abandoned the government of affairs here. In the
following extract you will be able to judge of the laws
and order existing hereabouts. I would premise that it
is an extract from a letter of Mr. Christie, in answer to
complaints concerning the depredations of the Indians in
this neighbourhood:—
" But I must inform you that it is my strong im-
pressioa that the present state of the Mosquito revenue
twill not enable me to take efficient measures for keeping
in order the Indians living at a distance from
*is place (Grey Town, or St. John's), of whose
lan lessness I have complaints; and that if you look to
the Mosquito Government to enable you to prosecute,
without interruption, your mahogany cutting, I cannot
tell you to rely on aid from that quarter. It is true, as
you say, that English laws have been adopted as those
of this country. In the advice which I give for ad-
ministering affairs here, I endeavour to guide myself, as
far as the circumstances of the country will allow, by
English laws ; but 1 am sure I need not inform you that
the proclamation of English laws will not of itself pro-
vide the funds necessary for an efficient police or for
tribunals constructed after the model of EnglanS.'
" From this you will perceive that there is at present
no protection for settlers on the coast, although the
country holds out inducements offered by few other
parts of the world. Mahogany is growing in great abun-
dance, and a great many hundred logs are rotting on
the Barquediers; yet such has been the miserable ad-
ministration of affairs hero that trade hae received no en-
couragement. The hold that Great Britain has upon
the Mosquito shore has never been known ; and by
what right a Consul-General has administere the at-
fairs of his Mosquito Majesty is yet a problem. He
(the so-called king) bears nominal sway, and yet has a
hold on the feelings of the natives; but as far as ruling
is concerned or a xercising any authority, he might as
well be in the tomb of his ancestors, for all the good he
does to the country. Leaving the beginning of British
rule on this coast for future speculation, I will briefly
say, that the American and English settlers here are
more than ever awake to the necessity of some form of
Government being speedily adopted, and it is therefore
that I have suzgested the appointment of an American
Consul at St. John's.
" Mr. Christie goes home in the steamer of this
month, and the Vice-Consul is left with the high-sound-
ing title of Governor.' To conclude, affairs here are
undergoing a change, and Uncle Sam,' if his eyes are
not dazzled with California gold, had better turn one of
them this way."
The accounts received to-day from all the great manu-
facturing towns are of decidedly a more favourable com-
plexion, and greater activity prevailed both in the mar-
kets for goods and yarns.
