The Dank of England return, completed to the
3d inst., shows some very unfavourable changes.
The large remittances of gold to New Yell-, with
the absence of Australian arrival, have caused a
diminution of fully hallo. million in the stock of the
precious metals. The reserve of notes has also been
largely reduced, viz., to the extent of a million and
a quarter. The preparations made for the engage-
Zents due on the 4th of the month, and the forth-
coming Indian Loan, has caused a large addition to
the other securities, which have been increased by
nearly a million and a quarter. The public de-
posits, owing to official disbursements, have been
diminished to a considerable extent, while a large
increase has taken place in the private balances.
The other items of the balance-sheet show little
variation of importance. Subjoined are the par-
ticulars

At the Bank of England yesterday a further sum
of £9,000 in bar gold was purchased, while 50,000
sovereigns were withdrawn.

The silver, by the last Mexican packet, was dis-
posed of yesterday, the bars at 600. and the dollars
at 580. per oz., being Id. and Id. lower respec-
tively.
There is still a good demand for discount accom-
modation, notwithstanding the completion of the
engagements duo on the 4th.

In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday there
*was again a good demand, and the sales exceeded
15,000 bales, 5,000 of which were for export and
on speculation. Prices of all descriptions exhibited
ta. further slight upward tendency.
The operations in the Foreign and Colonial Pro-
duce Markets during the last few days have been
on a very limited scale. Sugars have barely main-
tained former rates. Tea at public sale declined
about ld per lb., while coffee, rice, fruit, and spices
have remained at former quotations. Tallow has
been dull, and quotations have slightly declined,
I.Y.C. on the spot being 535; and for the last three
months' delivery, 50s 6d per cwt.

Mineral Land Company, at their meeting to-day,
adopted the directors' report, and agreed to the

At the meeting of the London Dock Company,
held to-day, the proposed dividend, at the rate of
£2 10s. per cent. per annum, was deslared.
A moderate amount of business has been negoti-
ated in the market for public securities to-day, and
the quotations have been well maintained. Consols
are 89a I for money to the 10th inst., and 90 to
90-1 for August. The New Threes and the Reduced

India Loan realised 981 d ; India Debentures 95.1
96; and the June Exchequer Bills were heavy
at ss. dis.

fairly supported. Old Turkish 6 per Cents. realise
449 75; and the Loan of 1858, 601 601; Mexican
Stock is steady at 22-1- ; Grenada Bonds declined
to 15; Portuguese 3 per Cents. realised 46} ;

The operations in the Railway Share Market
have been extremely inactive, without any change
of importance in prices. Great Western, North
Western, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln de-
clined about ss.

in the Foreign and Colonial Markets business
has been exceedingly inactive. Great Luxembourg
brought 8 ; East Indian, 98 to 981, and Great
Indian Peninsula, 951.

mained at about nominal values. Crystal Palace

TILE CAREER OF PEEL.—When he entered Par-
liament at one-and-twenty, graced by extraordinary uni-
versity honours, and independent in fortune, he was on the
winning side in every way. It was in 1809, when Perce-
val was minister, and Castlereagh and Canning were his
colleagues, that Peel began his career; and when the mur-
der of Mr. Perceval caused a recomposition of the ministry,
Peel had become well enough known as a man of business
to be appointed to the Irish Secretaryship. O'Connell's
party called him Orange-Peel; O'Connell himself pursued
him with insult till they came to a challenge ; and if -there
'was an Englishman who could be pointed out as the repre-
aentative of an anti-Catholic policy, it was Peel. He was
honest in his opposition to the Catholic claims, but he was
hot satisfied with the method of governing Ireland, and
here perhaps a close observer might have found a basis for
*Peculation as to whether Peel would prove to be a sta-
tionary politician, after all. He made the best speeches
Igainst Catholic emancipation, session after session, but,
then, he did not relish or approve of the sectarian quar-
rels in Ireland, and he had a notion that a sound popular
secular education would be the best thing for the country.
The Smack of the pungent orange flavour was wanting in
re Peel, his party observed : and when 1829 came, there
vre Persons who said they had long ago thought what
would happen.--Once ei Week.
