The Bank of England return, completed to the
21st Nov., shows some rather satisfactory charges.
There is a slight addition to the stock of bullion,
while the reserve of notes have been augmented by
fully a quarter of a million. The public and private
deposits both show an increase, and there is a small
diminution in the other securities. The active cir-
culation has fallen off by about a quarter of a mil-
lion. In the other items of the balance-sheet there
is no change of importance ; they will be seen in
the subjoined table :

The Money Market is much easier, and as the
rates in the open market range as low as 5i per
cent., a decline in the Bank minimum is antici-
pated.

_
Since Monday last the imports of specie have
been about X 41,600, and the exports £1,015,000.
The Funds have remained steady at previous
quotations, but very little business has been trans-
acted either for investment or on speculation. Con-
aols have closed at 934 fi for money, and 932 1 for
'the account. The encouraging Bank return, and
the increasing easiness of money have produced a
favourable effect although the quotations are un-
changed. The New Threes and the Reduced are
steady at 911 3, India New Loan is flat at 1031 a ;
ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper remained at 95;
ditto 53 per Cents. is firmer at 101, and Bank Stock
at 222 and 224.

581; to 59 ; Brazilian 41 per Cents., 1852, are firm
at t 39; ditto, 1860, are flat at 88! ; and Russian 4
per Cents. have improved to 95.

lateen moderately active, and priCes have shown a
further upward movement. Caledonian, Eastern

North-Western, and South Eastern, have improved
; Great Western, South Western, and Man-
&nester, Sheffield and Lincoln, 10s., and Mid-
land, £1 10s.

Mr. Cobden arrived at Nantes early in the after-
noon of the 21st, accompanied by M. Voisin, Receiver-
General of the Maine-at-Loire. At about three o'clock the
two gentlemen visited the Bourse, and Mr. Cobden was
re-
ceived with marked BYmpathy. That gentleman afterwards
had interviews with M.
Bank; with M. Fruehard, ' Director
____ count
Gatla of the Discount
Commerce, and with several president of the Chamber of
eminent shipowners and mer-
chants. In the evening /qr.
From was to be entertained
at dinner by the Prefect p Nat4es he intended to go
to St. Nash bia
°. The object of visit is, it is believed, to
collect commercial information.
Advices from Paris state that the drain from the
Bank of France has been checked, and that there has been
a recovery of £680,000 in the bullion from last week when
the stock was reduced to £16,000,000. The arrangement
with the Bank of England has given groat aatisfaactnigo
the only ground for regret is that it was not adopted at
first the alarm, which was at ene time becoming serious
having resulted solely from the . clumsy character of the
operations in the early stage of the affair.
DESTRUCTION OF A CHURCH AT KILBURN.--At a
late hour on Thursday night a fire happened in the newly-
the Evangelist, in the
erected church dedicated to St. John
Carlton-road, Maida-hill, Kilburn. The building was one
of the corrugated iron structures, being for the most part
composed of iron sheets, supported by wood and iron
columns, which, it is stated, wore cemented together by a
certain portion of asphalte. It appears that the first dis-
covery of the fire was made by some of the choristers who
were practising at the time. The fire continued its ravages,
although the firemen laboured incessantly, until the whole
of the church, the pews, &c., were reduced to a mass of
ruins. The cause of the fire is unknown. _ ---

The _Dundee Advertiser says:—" Let those sneer
at Mr. Baxter who will, he is a notable man. Therais no
other man in or out of Parliament who in so short a speech
could have mentioned himself 109 times over, and could in
the first six lines have alluded to himself no less than eight
imee."

INTERNATIONAL SKIFF MATCH.—The prelimi-
naries for an international skiff match between Robert
Chambers, of Newcastle-on-Tyne, the champion oar of Eng-
land, and Ward, the champion of America, are being settled.
Chambers is likely to leave England with his backers for
America in February,' and the contest will come off on
American waters in the spring.
