The changes in the Bank of England return,
Completed to the 21st inst., are again of a favour-
able character. 0 wing to the arrival of Australian
remittances, and the falling off in the supplies
forwarded to New York, the bullion has been
increased to some extent. In the Reserve of Notes
there is also a large addition, while the Public
Deposits have been added to by about three quar-
ters of a million sterling, in consequence of the
active collection of the revenue. In the Private
Deposits there is a small falling off, while the
other Securities have only been slightly aug-
mented. A favourable feature, however, is a
further addition to the Government Securities. In
the other items of the balance-sheet the changes
are unimportant. Subjoined are the particulars :

Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and the late

exceedingly moderate, and the quotations, although
not lower, still tend downwards.
Rather less animation has been perceptible in
the market for Public Securities to-day, but the
Funds have been firmly maintained, Consols being

continuance of favourable weather for the harvest
