The Bank of England return, completed for the
Week ending June 2, is of a satisfactory character,
and shows that a gradual extension of trade is
taking place. The bullion and the reserve of notes
both exhibit a slight augmentation ; and ix the
other securities there is an increase of about
200,0001. sterling. This has, in some measure,
been occasioned by the preparations made for the
Payments on the fourth of the month. In the pri-
nt° deposits there is an increase of about a quarter
of a million, but the active circulation shows a
slight falling off. In the other items of the balance-
sheet there is little requiring special notice, and the
various changes will be seen from the subjoined
table :

There were no specie moyements of importance
at the Bank of England yesterday.

The commercial payments of the 4th of the month
were completed in a satisfactory manner, no serious
Cues of default having been reported. It is stated
that the aggregate amount of paper which arrived
at maturity was not so large as usual, and the
important increase of " other securities" at the
Bank, although partly accounted for by the sub-
scriptions to the Brazilian Loan, shows that those
having engagements to meet were cautious enough
to be well provided with the necessary capital.
It has been intimated that a meeting of the
creditors of Messrs. Rawson Sons, and Co., will
take place early next week, when a balance-sheet
will be presented, and a course decided upon with
regard to the winding-up of their estate. Payment
in full, with 5 per cent. interest is expected, and it
is thought that after all claims are discharged a
surplus will remain of 35,0001. or 40,0001.
Letters from Liverpool report that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed firmly, and prices were
Well supported. The sales were estimated at
10,000 bales, 3,000 of which were taken on specu-
lation and for export.

Since Monday last the imports of specie have
been about 557,0241., and the exports 188,1021.,
exclusive of the following shipments direct from
London to the Continent during the week ending

The''market for the English Funds has been very
dull to-day, owing partly to the closing of the Trans-
fer Books, but there is a general disinclination to
engage in extensive speculation. The depression of
Paris seems to exert a very unfavourable influence.
