The return from the Bank of England completed
to the 28th inst., is of a rather satisfactory charac-
ter, although there is little change of importance
to notice in most of the items. The bullion shows
a slight increase, and the other securities have de-
creased to about a similar amount. The reserve of
notes has been augmented to the extent of about a
quarter of a million, and the public and private
deposits show some important alteration. The
former has been increased over three quarters of a
million, and the private deposits have decreased
rather considerably. The active circulation shows
a slight falling off, bat in the other items of the
balance-sheet there is little variation of importance.
They will be see from the subjoined table

About 80,0001. in American gold was taken into
the Bank yesterday, and should fresh arrivals soon
be announced, the bullion will be further aug-
mented, because the amount required for expoit is
very limited.
Money, although it is in rather more request,
continues easy and abundant. The terms are
without the slightest alteration.
The directors of. the London Discount Company
have issued their half-yearly report, from which
the following is an extract :—The net profit after
the payment of current expenses, making ample
provision for loss on overdue bills, and allowing
for the rebate of interest upon bills not matured,
amounts to 10,8741. 7s. 6d. With so favourable a
result the directors have deemed it advisable to
write off the balance of preliminary expenses,
amounting to 3,0001., thus leaving an available
surplus of 7,8741. 7s. 6d. This sum enables the
directors to recommend a dividend for the past
half-year at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, free
.of income tax, which will amount to 4,5481.145. 2d.,
leaving a balance of 3,3251. 13s. 2d. to be carried
to the next half-yearly account. The directors
recDnicaend an addition of two to their present
number, to be elected by the shareholders at this
meeting.

Accounts from Liverpool report that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed with rather more firmness,
and a fair amount of businegs was transacted, at
about former rates. The sales amounted to 8,000
bales, 2,500 of which were taken on speculation
and for export.
Since Monday last the imports of specie have
been 482,1681., and there have been no exports
exclusive of the following shipments direct from

Subscriptions have been invited from all persons in-
terested in the Australian Colonies to purcti.se a flock
of 23 alpacas now in London, which may be obtained
for 1,0001. It is proposed to present them to the
colony of Victoria. Hitherto the efforts to obtain there
animals have been defeated by the jealousy by which
the Peruvian Government have prohibited their exporta-
tion. The present flock were driven overland from that
country at cohsiderable risk across the continent of
South America, by the Istbmu4 of Panama, to Aspin-
wall. Messrs. Westgartb, Wilson, and Sargood con-
stitute the cironaittee, and Mr. J. B. Tootal acts as
honorary secretary.
