The continued decrease in the present circulation of the
Bank of England, and in the amount of the securities,
strongly evidence the fact of the falling off in the general
commercial business of the Bank of England in the shape
of discounts ; which sufficiently accounts for the desire of
the direction to promote loans, through the agency of the
branch banks, and establish to a great degree the success-
ful rivalry of the newly-established joint-stock banks. The
deposits have increased, which shows the difficulty of em-
ploying capital profitably in commercial enterprise. The
amount of this item has been considerably lessened within
the past three or four years, but it has, with the exception
of the year 1834, always increased at this particular sea-
son: This return, however, shows that the amount
of bullion in. ;:itite coffers of the Bank of England
has increased in the small sum of 23,0001. But this
circumstance, however, does not afford any contradiction to
the fact that large amounts of bullion have been lately ex-
ported to the Continent and the colonies, chiefly in silver,
as the large sums lately received from South America
nearly balance the account, and it is to be borne in mind
I that large operations for export have been effected both by
the Bank of England and other monetary firms since the
II th of December, the date of the return which is the sub-
ject of the present comments. It is, however, well under-
stood in the best-informed monetary circles that the bank
direction are desirous of reducing their stock of bullion, as
too much, in proportion to their circulation is more bur-
densome than profitable in times of steady commercial
credit, whilst it interferes with the circulation of their
notes. The great decrease in the amount of the " rest,"
or surplus profits of the Bank of England Corporation, fur-
nishes a confirmation of the defection of their general busi-
ness, and though this may be a mere question for the con-
sideration of the proprietors, as to the management of the
business of the Corporation, it affords evidence that great
monopolists, like the improvident old woman's goose, do not
always produce golden eggs.
There is a general impression abroad that the January
returns of the revenue will show but rather a Flemish
account, which must, however, not be placed altogether to
the circumstance of the existing low rates of duty upon the
importation of foreign corn, inasmuch as, if our corn-markets
had remained at low rates, there would have been no
foreign corn let out of bond, and, consequently, no duty at
all would have been paid.
The British Funds have not improved, and the business
has been very limited to-day. Consols left off barely at 934f0r the opening. The Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Re-
duced Annuities are 100 a for Money ; and the New
Three-and-a-Half per Cents. 1011 a for time. Bank
Stock has receded to 2021. The premium upon Exche-
quer Bills is 64 a 66.

A few more bargains have been effected in the Foreign
Market to-day ; but in most instances the quotations indi-
cate the continuance of heaviness, and a reduction in the
quotation. The private accounts of the miserable state of
the Portuguese finances confirm those which have appeared
in this Journal, and have caused some fluctuations in the
hoods of that kingdom. Portuguese Five per Cent. Bonds
are 69 ; the new Five per Cents. have ranged between
24- a I, and 24 a - ; and the Three per Cent. ditto from
181 a 19 ; Spanish Bonds, with the May Coupons are 16
; Passive are 38 ; and Deferred 6* a 7. Brazilian
Bonds are 7g- to 77 ; Buenos Ayres 16 ; Colombian 054
a ; and Mexican 22i1-, a 23. Danish Bonds are 74-1-.
The still questionable position of the dispute between Bel-
gium and Holland respecting the Luxemburg and Limburg
occupation has caused the securities of both States to
slightly decline. Belgian Bonds have receded to 99i al,
Dutch Two-and-a-half per Cents. to 54+ ; the Old Five
per Cents. 1005 ; and the New Loan to-98i.
The Share Market continues in a state of much inacti-
vity. Great Western Railway Shares are 10 a 4- premium.
Brighton are 3i discount, and Blackmail 21 discount.
Greenwich are 31 discount. Southampton are 19f,and Man-
chester and Birmingham are 34 prem. Colonial Bank
Shares arc 31 per cent., and those of the London Joint
Bank are 3 a premium.
The private letters which have been received from the
n-
inufacturing districts, particularly those of Lancashire,
express much anxiety respecting the discontent which pre-
s ails amongst the working classes, and serious apprehen-
sions appear to be entertained for the result, which we
would fain hope may prove to be more imaginative than
real. At the same time it is openly expressed, in many of
the communications from the country, that this malcontent
feeling has arisen partly from the high price of bread food in
proportion to the rate of wages, and the grinding oppression
of the present administration of the Poor-laws.
The labours of the Committee which was appointed by
the late meeting held at the Jerusalem Coffee House to
inquire into the comparative merits of establishing a
steam communication with India by the Cape or the over-
land route have nearly terminated ; and we can state with
some confidence that the report of the Committee will be
decidedly in favour of the shorter route, and that a em-
puny will
be formed to carry out the proposition to create a
steam navigation with India by way of the Red Sea, pro-
vided

on the happy results of approximating, as it were, our vast
India possessions to this country, by these means, we need
not dilate, since they have been well exemplified in an en-
thusiastic, but able pamphlet, published by Smith, Elder,
and Co., wherein the respective routes are considered, and
the facilitieasrefocromesptaarbelciishainndg

plan,may byway
of conclude
remarks by quoting the careful opinion of Lord
BentinckWil-
liam upon this important question, amongst many
oltitlemEji[slee rgs yeporroborative of the same, in reply to the following
proposition
Supposing the scheme were carried into effect, the
great mass of Europeans would prefer the short to the long
route ?" To which his Lordship's expressions are, " I have
no doubt of it ; I think also there would be a very consi-
derable addition to the number of passengers ; at present
all the passengers come from the United Kingdom exclu-
sively ; whereas I conceive that from the continent of
Europe, and from the tide of travellers generally, you would
have a very great addition of numbers by the Red Sea to
visit India."

If the Magistrates do their duty, and act up to the
spirit of the proclamation, the physical force men will be
put down and brought to justice. It is satisfactory to
learn that before the proclamation issued, the Magistrates
acting for Wakefield completely succeeded, by taking the
proper precautions, in preventing a meeting which was to
have taken place on Monday last. A meeting by torch
light was advertised for the evening, and inflammatory pla-
cards were posted on the walls of the town ; but the magis-
trates being prepared with sufficient force, and having made
known their determination to preserve the peace, and
having taken the necessary steps for obtaining evidence
against the principal movers in the intended meeting, the
affair came to nothing, and no public meeting took place.

VIENNA.,--The Russian Grand Duke, after 20
days' stay here, left Vienna in excellent health on the 4th
of December, in the morning. He spent his time chiefly
i" nerving the celebrated monuments and works of art, and
visited the studies of the principal living painters and sculp-
tors. He commissioned Natale Schiavene to paint a
portrait, which was an admirable likeness, and bespoke for
his son Felix a little picture, representing Raphael painting
La Fornarina. Count Von Spaur, the Governor, gives two
brilliant balls in honour of the august traveller.—Allge-

There is but a small portion of the old Royal Ex-
change now standing, which will be soon taken down, and
the whole of the rubbish of the ruins be removed without
delay. The front of the new Royal Exchange, facing that
of the Bank,
will be on a grand scale, the view of which
not be obstructed by any other building, and will be
altogether a great improvement to that part of the City.
The Exchange will be erected and finished in three years
after the foundation has been WO%

THE MIDDLESEX MAGISTRACY AND THE MA-
RYLEBONE VESTRY.—On Saturday the Marylebone vestry
assembled to consider the demand of the Middlesex Ma-
gistrates for a county rate amounting to the sum of 2,447/.
due to them, and for which arrear they had issued
warrants of distress against the overseers of -the parish of
St. Marylebone. After considerable discussion the follow-
ing resolutions were passed :—" That the vestry, in order-
ing the payment of the county rate, strongly protest against
the unconstitutional and irresponsible authority exercised by
the County Magistrates of Middlesex, the mischief arising
from which has been recently exemplified in their levying
rates which the highest legal authority has pronounced tr,
be illegal." " That the vestry consider the proceedinr ,of
the Magistrates of the County of Middlesex unjustifirld,le in
signing, on the 14th of December, a warrant of; distress
against the overseers of the parish
~,of I\--I",,ry'..ebone for a
county rate made on the Ist day of i'overr:oer when they
were aware, by the custom of the parish, the current half
year's poor-rate, out of which 'Ellis county rate is payable, is
not collectable till the of the half year ; viz., the 31st

Ic EA OF TIIE ARMY.—An augmentation of
the raPt. and file of the army has, as we
previ an-
noi:;eced, been ordered, and the total increase
is ously
about
10,000 men of the infantry of the line. The twenty-one
regiments of infantry in India have some time ago received
orders to enlist 74 over their regular establislunent ; the
twenty-two regiments in the United Kingdom to 80 over
their regulated numbers, and the remainingregiments serving
abroad to 110 men over establishment. The exertions now
remind to raise the men, in every district of the kingdom,
remind us of the energetic measures of the war time. We
have been informed, that, during the last fourteen days,
recruiting has been very successful, and that a fine class of
men are offering themselves. The mere chance of a war
seems to have induced a large number to enlist, who would
not else have left their agricultural or manufacturing .
pur-
suits. The spirit of old England, if once roused, is that of
a lion, and the Russian bear may well fear even his distant
I roar,---Nav/ and Military Gazelle.

A motion for an injunction to restrain the defendants
from crossing the river Dunn with their railway, except
where the line was drawn in the plans accompanying their
-Railway Act, waa. trved some days back, and stood for
jtidament.
The LORD CHANCELLOR made an order to restrain the
defendants accordingly.
SWART V. WELCH AND POSTLETHWAITR.
This was an interpleader bill filed by Messrs. Swart and
Simpson, ship-brokers, at Liverpool, against Messrs. Welch
and Co., and Messrs. Postlethwaite and Co., calling on
them to interplead in respect of certain rights claimed by
them to insurance money received by the plaintiffs in the
ship James. Welch and Co. owned 7-16ths of the ship
James, and Postlethwaite and Co. owned 3-I6ths, and
Mrs. Roper was owner of 6-I6ths. The plaintiffs had, at
the request of the owners, insured the ship on her last voy-
age for 2,4001., and 5001. on the freight. The ship was
wrecked, condemned, and sold to pay the expenses. The
plaintiffs received the insurance money, for which Welch
and Co. and Postlethwaite and Co. brought separate ac-
tions, each party claiming the whole of the insurance mo-
ney, except the proportion of Mrs. Roper, to the payment
of which they did not object.

The further hearing was adjourned to Monday (this day).

ROLLS' COURT, Dsc. 15
HUGHES V. HUGHES.

The bill in this case was filed by William Hughes, who
is a journeyman baker, praying for an account of the estate
of his late father, Thomas Hughes, of Eton, who carried
on the trade of a baker ; and also for an account of the
estate of his late brother George, and for a declaration
that he is entitled to a moiety of the profits of the business
which had been carried on since his brother's decease, as
well as to a share of the good-will, and such interest as he
might be entitled to under the will of his brother.
Lord LANGDALE, after referring shortly to the facts, con-
sidered that the plaintiff was entitled to the account called
for, up to the time he was informed of his right by his uncle
Thomas, to have the value of the good-will of the business
ascertained, to both of which it was declared that he was
entitled to a moiety. His Lordship also directed an account
of the residuary estate of the testator George Hughes, to
be taken, and declared that the plaintiff was entitled to the
legacy of 501., and to a moiety of the residuary estate.

COURT OF Q UEEIV'S BENCH, Dim 15.
HARRIS V. HUNT.

This was an action to recover compensation for the in-
jury, the omnibus of the plaintiff had sustained in conse-
quence of the negligent driving of the servant of the de-
fendant, who is a builder at Sydenham. The accident oc-
curred at the corner of Fenchurch-street, and the damage
done was the fracture of the panels and windows of the
omnibus, by the timber on the waggon of the defendant.
The defence was that the injury was entirely accidental.
The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 3/.
