25th Suly, shows little change of importance. The
Public deposits have been augmented to the extent
of about half a million, while there is a correspond-
lig decrease in the private balances. The bullion
outing to the limited arrivals from Australia and sstt
the increased demand for the contineat, has been
slightly deminished. In other items of the balance
sheet nu alteration requiring special notice has
taken place;
they will be seen in the subjoined

We understand that the order for the return of
regiments from India has been countermanded, so far as re-
gards the Ist battalion sth Fusiliers, Ist battalion 24th,
etih:tse home, corps,
7th, and 73d Regiments ; and that the usual drafts to rein-
forcewhich had been ordered to await their
arrival

''S ago announced that the Indian Government intended
to
r, semi home a cavalry regiment, either the 3d Dragoon
'',,uards or Inniskilling Dragoons, from the Bombay Presi-
ue.neY ; but it is now very doubtful whether that intention
will be carried out. As many of our correspondents are
