COMMERCIAL r TELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLoex
The Bank of England weekly retern of liabilities
and assets made up to the 24th inst., is of very
satisfactory charac-er, and although the private
securities have increased to the extent of about a
quarter of a million ; there is a large increase in
the public deposits. The reserve of notes has
also accumulated to a large amount, the total
Mow standing at more than thirteen millions ;
and the bullion, owing t ) the arrivals of Australian
gold and the large remittances of sovereigns from
the provinces, shows an accumulation of over three-
quarters of a million. There is also a small in-
crease in the amount of the active circulation, but
a decrease in the private depo•its. In the other
portions of the balance-shtet, there is little
variation of importance to record. The various
items, and the changes they present, will be seen
from the subjoined table :

The operations in the Bullion Deparmeut yes-
terday were unimportant. Several ves eli Ere ex-
pected from Australia, which wall no doubt ensure
a further accumulation at the Bank, as the quan-
tity absorbed for export purposes is very limited.

There was very little change yesterday in the
rates of Continental exchange, but they ,xhibited,
if anything, increased firmness. Rather mere
business was reported.
Money continues in limited request, and there is
no alteration to describa in the general position
and appearance of the market.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday
business was quiet, at steady rates. The sales
were 6,000 hales, 2,000 of which were taken for
export and on speculation. Business in the Rail-
way Share Market was rather in:.ctive, at late
rates.

Since Monday last the imports of specie have
been about 111,1501., and the exports 78,5651.,

The market for Engl►sh Securities is rather
depressed, a decline of /- pQr cent. having
been produced by a few speculative sales, and
some unfavourable rumours which, a:though

97i both for money and account. Thy June Ex--
chequer Bills are 355. to 38s. premium ; and the
Bonds are 1001 1011. India ditto are 20s. pre-
mium. Bank Stock is 227.

We (Derby Reporter) are happy to say that Mr. Bags,
M P., has rapidly improved, and that he has now marly
recovered from the effects of the accident which we men-
tioned last week. Mr. Bass was sufficiently recovered
to accompany a dyputation to the Chancellor of the
Exchequer on Tuesday hat with reference to the excise
duties on malt.

Taz LATE ArimiaAL SIB JOHN Ross.—The effects i f
this diet nguisheri arctic voyager have been disposed of
by public auction, at North-West Ca•tls. The gallant
veteran had gathered, during his lorg life-time, a mass
of articles of every description. The sale was nuruerou4y
attended, and the whole effects were eagerly bought up,
in many cases at high prices. The people in the district
seem.d all to be anxious to possess therr,elves of some
souvenir of the gallant admiral.—dyr Observer,.

METROPOLIT,IIN BOARD OF WORKEL—At the usual
weekly meeting yesterday at the Guildhall, Mr. J.
Tbwaites in the chair, the general cash balance as re-
ported to be 47,6081. 4s. id. Memorials on the main
drainage question were presented from a meeting of dis-
trict boards and vestries from the parish of Lambeth. Mr.
Leslie moved that the board should ascertain if any
and what pecuniary interest appertained to the copy=
holder* of Hampstead beyond the rights of the free-
holder of the heath. The motion was seconded by Mr.
Chatmer and carried.

ST. PANCRAS VESTRY.—At the weekly meeting of the
vestry yesterday, Mr. Church warden Wyatt in the chair,
it was resolved to affix the corpora`e Peal of the vestry
to the authority to the London and Westminster Bank
to place 8.0001. to the drawing accoutt of the parish,
and that drafts tor the Metropolitan Board and Imperial
Ga4Company be Et once drawn. A repOrt suggesting
a considerable redaction in the salaries of the medical
staff, except that o' the surgeon of the workhouse, which
it proposed to raja* from 1401. to 1801., was ordered to
be considered at the next meeting. A motion for a com-
mittee to inquire iito the qualifications el certain mem-
bers to bold their era's in the vestry was negatived by a
large majority.
WItEOK ON THE lOAST OF THE FALKLAND ISLANDS.—
A letter written frim the Falkland Islands in behalf of
the crew of the IsTrrth American ship Antoinette, states
that that ship has ,een wrecked on the coast of the Falk-
land Islands, while ou its way to London. "We got to
Berkeley Sand," itsays, "on the second day after we left
the ship, or rather b a settlement at Port William, where
we fourth an Amercan consul, to whom the captain told
our loss, and that there was a boat and five men adrift,
whom wet had luslaight of. The gocd old gentleman
got•a vessel the saneafternoon, and at daylight the nuei,
mornieg p►oceededto look for them, although it blew a
gale of w ind. Hit last worus to us were, 'Don't fear,
if they a.re alive will find them ;' and find them he
did on one of the small is'ands, with boat stove and
without water ; aid the crew informed me that be
never left the deckor slept until he did find thew, when
he showed them ;very kindness in Li.; power. He
was absent but forr days. I am informed by the in-
habitants of the coony that he bas always been in the
habit dilating in Lis way for many years. He is the
same man. who welt in pursuit of and foand Captain
Gardner and the nissionsiies who were starved to
death at Cape Hero, rescued a French crew on the
coast of Patagoeia and in the Straits a Magellan, and
a Danish crew at Eattenland, and all at his own ex-
pense. The inhabitants say he is better acquainted ano
has more, knowledge of the place and coast than any
man living. He is kind, generous, and liberal in the
extreme."
