The return from the Bank of England completed
cts
to the Bth August shows some important charges.
The public deposits, owing to the active collection
of the revenue, have been augmented by over half
a million sterling, while the private deposits have
been diminished by nearly three-quarters of a
million. The increased demand for the Continent,
and the absence of arrivals from Australia,
has caused a reduction in the stock of bul-
lion of nearly a quarter of a million. In the
other securities there has been a decline of about a
quarter of a million, owing to the payments due on
the 4th of the month. The reserve of notes also
shows a slight increase. The other items of the
balance-sheet have trot undergone any material
ehange. The particular's will be found in the sub-
joined analysis :

THE KENSINGTON-GARDENS ENCROACHMENT.— st(
At a well-attended meeting of the united committees of *Ai
Marylebome, Paddington, and Kensington, formed to oppose
the new horse ride in Kensington-gardens, held yesterday ,
morning at the Court-house, M arylebone• lane (Mr. Michell, .4"
of Marylebonegin the chair), it was reported that up to the 4,
present time the memorial to her Majesty against the said
ride had. received upwards of 30,000 bona fide signatures.
The meeting then unanimously resolved that they should
continue to receive signatures up to Tuesday evening next,
when they should hold their next meeting for making the
necessary arrangements for the presentation of the memo-
rial. Ntunbers of the committees expressed their confidence
in the belief that up to that evening many thousands of ad-
ditional signatures would be added. .Communications were
also received from St. Luke's, Chelsea, stating that that
parish had determined to memorialise the Queen against
the ride, and also from other parishes which had resolved
onursuing a similar course.

LIVERPOOL VOLUNTEERS IN CAMP. —For nearly
a fortnight past the let Battalion of Liverpool Volunteer
Rifles, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Bousefield,
have been out in camp on the Blundell Sands, at Crosby,
about six miles north from Liverpool. Notwithstanding
the inclemency of the recently very stormy weather this
gallant band of Volunteers continue to occupy its quarters
among the sandhills at the place named, and there thp
regulations of military camp life are strictly observed.
Morning and evening drill, outpost duty, and the other pre-
cautionary measures of martial field duty are strierly and
regularly practised. The men seem to thrive and enjoy
themselves amazingly " under canvas."
In the matter of defences we are unjust to Napo-
leon—very unjust to ourselves. Our security lies in our
own state of preparation, not in the French Emperor's
want of it. He is perfectly right when he says that his
army. and his fleet, are not more numerous than they were
during the days of the monarchy ; although it is one thing
when a rifle is in the hands of a rifleman, another when it
is in the clumsy grasp
.of a grocer. Tho ruler of France,
exposed, as he always is, to the chances of a collision with
the great military monarchies of the Continent, must keep
a considerable army a-foot. We cannot blame him for this.
As long as France was governed by a Parliament and in a
constitutional way, this gave us no cause for alarm ; but
now things are changed. One man, alone, can restrain
that army within its camps and cantonments, or let it loose
on the world ; therefore we must be prepared.—Once a
Week.
