most of those which have taken place since Puketakauere)
in which the enemy's loss has not greatly exceeded our
own. I can assert positively, moreover, that with the one
exception alluded to above, the troops have never been re-
pulsed in any attack which they have made, nor have the
enemy ever seen their backs, except when they themselves
were concealed and invisible.

"My attention has just been directed to another leading
article in the 'Argus of the 20th instant, in which the
writer finds fault with the conduct of the war on grounds
which are, as far at least as the military authorities are
concerned, altogether unfounded and untrue, and which
subsequent events have completely refuted.
" hi giving prominence in that article to the silly fable
about Col. Leslie and the grog and ammunition of his men,
the Argus has, I believe, the rather poor excuse that the
falsehood was copied from a New Zealand paper ; but for
the statements published to-day I can find no excuse.
" Believe me yours, very truly,
" C. PASLET.

MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

Some very important changes are shown in the
Bank of England return, completed to the 9th
inst. The bullion, owing to the extensive remit-
tances to the United States and the East, has been
diminished by nearly half a million sterling, and
there is else a large decrease in the reserve of notes.
In the other securities, however, a diminution of
about a million and a quarter is apparent in conse-
quence of the repayment of loans granted during
the period the transfer books for Consols remained
shut. The distribution of the dividends has caused
a decrease of about three millions and a half in the
public deposits, and an increase in the private
balances of about two millions and a quarter. The
Government Securities have been augmented to the
extent of about half a million. In the other items
of the balance-sheet the changes have been of an
unimportant character ; subjoined is our usual
analysis :

No alteration of importance was exhibited in the
Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon.
About £20,000 in gold, and 20,000 sovereigns
were withdrawn from the Bank of England
yesterday.
_ _ _

Notice has been given that 294 special Sar-
dinian 5 per Cent. Bonds of the value of £21,940
have been cancelled.

Continued activity prevailed in the Liverpool
Cotton Market yesterday, and prices exhibited no
charge of importance. The sales were 20,000 bales.
The Royal Mail steamer Niagara, which sailed
to-day from Liverpool, for Halifax and Boston, took
out £190,000 in specie.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Ellora, sailing from Southampton to-day, takes out
for Bombay, in specie—gold, £16,360, and about
£380,000 in silver.

There has been very little animation in the
Market for Public Securities to-day, but the quo-
tations have continued steady, Consols being 91,1 I
for money, and 92 for the account. The New
Threes are firmer at 911 d ; the Reduced at 91,1- 4 ;
Long Annuities remained at 161, but Exchequer
Bills receded from 6s. to 2s. discount, and Bank
Stocks to 232.

A fair amount of business was recorded in Foreign
Securities, and prices exhibited no change of im-
portance. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 70 to 701 ;
ditto New (1858), 56 to 562; ditto £lOO Bonds, 58;
Mexican are firm, at 21k; Spanish, at 481; ditto
Deferred, at 401 ; Buenos Ayres Deferred are
291 ; and Dutch 2i- per Cents., 631 ; Russian, 104.
The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
been on a very limited scale, and prices have shown
a further slight depression. Caledonian, Great
Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North-Eastern
(Berwick), and- South-Eastern have declined 55.;
and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, 10s.
The Foreign and Colonial lines have been very
quiet, without any material change in value.

Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have
continued in moderate request, Union of London
realise 261 to 261- ; Australian Agricultural, 301- to
321 ; Crystal Palace Stock, 30 ; Peninsular and
Oriental Steam, 721, and Scottish Australian
