CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The Bank of England return, completed to the
25th inst., shows some rather important alterations.
The bullion, owing to the continued demand for
export to the Continent, and for shipment to the
East, has been largely diminished, but the reserve
of notes has been slightly augmented, consequent
upon the reduction in the Government Securities.
The private deposits show a falling off of about
three quarters of a million sterling, but there is an
augmentation in the public deposits of more than a
quarter of a million, and the active circulation has
been diminished by noarly half a million. In the
other items of the balanee-sheet there is little varia
tion of importance. They will be seen in the sub
joined table :

A further sum of £136,000 in bar gold was
Withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday.
The Foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon ex-
hibited a further decided advance is the Austrian
rates; the quotations on Amsterdam and Ham-
burg were also rather higher:
The Liverpool cotton market yesterday closed
With rather less animation, and prices exhibited
no material alterations. The sales were estimated
at 8,000 bales.
A decline of k per cent has taken place in the
market for English Securities to-day, increased
depression having been caused by the efflux of gold
to the continent, which exhibits no signs of dimi-
nution. Consols are 94?-, 4 for money and account.

A FOREGONE CONCLUSION.-THE

LYC.EUM AND " THE CRITIC."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
'ir,—Permit me, through your columns, to give s
t: emphatic denial to a statement, most prejudicial
My interests, which appears in the Critic of this s
4113% Under the head " The Drama" will be found SI
,e following remarks :—" The solo event of any
d'44nerit which has taken place at any of the metro- t
°litan theatres during the past week is the pro-
tiction of Mr. Tom Taylor's dramatised version of 91
• Dickens's Tale of Two Cities ;' but as it has s
,leh even more unsuccessful than similar attempts
' convert a novel into a dramatic piece usually
NQ' We shall refrain from any detailed criticism."
01, as no other theatre in London besides the g
,'Tale
has announced for performance Dickens's St
Taylor
of Two Cities," dramatised by Mr. Tom ;11
.:Ylor, the foregoing statement can have no re St
-
rence to any theatre but mine. The publication si
er so reckless a misrepresentation, involving serious
t°llBequences to my personal interests, cannot be
stronglyop deprecated, and I am sure that the
public will lend
me their aid in refuting any misap-
Prehensiox
St
alluded: to.
Which may arise from the article gt
Permit me, sir, in conclusion, to say that the
St
It
(` Tale of Two Cities" has never been produced in sr

'INEs.—In the Mining Share Market things
tuve continued as they were last week, with a good steady
i-41and for dividend stocks, and a deal of speculation in
tZlaller ones. The present price of metals, we have often
deillarked, is very satisfactory; and with the increased
treat likely to arise throLgh the new comnprcial
pros MY With France, mining will become every day more
therous. We have heard it said, by those in the secret,
even the smelters consider the present high price of
topper must continue for at least 12 months ; the stock of
it4l,7ißn copper in the country being very small indeed ;
tt °Wing to the revolution in Chili, to which we referred
e," Months ago, when venturing to anticipate the present
~.14.641 Copper, very little has been raised in that country.
