The return from the Bank of England, for the
week ending the 14th inst., shows some important
variations. In the bullion there is a decrease of
about half a million, consequent upon the late
large shipments to the continent and the tardy
arrival of supplies from Australia. The public
deposits show a considerable decline, owing to
the payment of the usual half yearly divi-
dends, while in the private deposits there is
a large accumulation. The private securities, owing
to the repayments of the advances made by the
establishment during the closing of the transfer-
books, show a very large decrease. In the reserve
of notes there is a falling off of about three quarters
of a million, and the actual circulation has been
extended to about a-quarter of a million. In the
other items of the balance-sheet there is little
alteration requiring special comment—they will be
seen in the following table :

The specie movement is at the present moment
attracting considerable attention among the specu-
lators at the Stock Exchange and others interestQd
in the subject. Besides the 405,0001. brought by
the Royal Charter, about 166,400/. has just
been announced by the Shooting Star, also from
Victoria, and in a few days 138,8091. in Australian
gold, via Suez, will be received by the European.
The announcement of these supplies, a large por-
tion of which will, no doubt, be absorbed for ex-
portation to the Continent, has not stopped the
efflux from the Bank, but it has checked it,
only 12,0001. having been taken from that estab-
lishment yesterday. The Orinoco, which is ap-
pointed to leave for the West Indies to-day, takes out
8,8001., but the Magdalena, just in from that quar-
ter, has, it is believed, brought a large amount.
There is a limited demand for that metal on Eastern
account, and the Colombo, on the 20th, is not ex-
pected to take out more than 50,0001. or 60,0001.
The decline shown in the stock of the precious
metals at the Bank is larger than was expected ;
but the partial employment of coin in the pay-
ment of the dividends has no doubt assisted to
increase the outward movement.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
quietly, but prices were fully supported. The sales
were estimated at 8,000 bales, 1,500 of which were
taken on speculation and for export.
It has just been mentioned that the Magdalena,
from the West Indies, has brought $1,194,000,
or about 240,0001., and the Persia, from New
York, $570,1801,, or 114,0361.

Since Monday last the imports of specie have
been about 922,9921., and the exports 8801., exclu-
sive of the following shipments direct from London
to the continent during the week ending Thursday
last :---
Gold Coin. Boulogne ... 340 Ozs.

IMPORTANT LEGAL DECISION AFFECTING COTTAGE
OWNERS.
I—During the past week the Liverpool etipe!:-
`wiry, Mr. Mansfield, has been considering a case, in
Which Mr. Henry Rooke, the owner of a oJnsiderable
amount of clttage property, is the defendant, and the
Liverpool Corporation the plaintiff. Mr. Rooks seeks
ex-at:option from the paymes t of water rate on certain
tid"tkly rentals of 4s. 6 (though willing to pay the late
:eon 4'.), on the ground that though he receives 44. 61.,
that d 3, 'iX
pence is abeco bed by othe-r Tate charges., and
43. is the nett weekly value df the property to him.
Y sterday Mr. Mansfield decided in favour of the
Claim of the Corporation, observing that the act re-
cognised the "annual value" as the basis of asst
ss-
meat, and that the actual rent paid must be ccn-
sidered as the or ly true and legal measure of
such annual value. This decision, by consent of Mr.
}tooke's solicitor, was applied to other cases, in which
the principle was the same though the rents were diffe-
rent. The eolicitor for Mr Rooke announced his intention
of appealing afiainbt the decision to a superior court.
