CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The Bank of England return completed to the
31st July shows some rather satisfactory changes.
The bullion has been augmented by about half a
Million sterling, owing to the limited remittances
of specie to America and the influx of Australian
gold. The reserve of notes also show a rather
large addition. In the other Securities there has
been a considerable decrease in consequence of the
easier state of the Money Market. The Public
Deposits, however, show a reduction of about half
a Million, and there is also a diminution in the Go-
vernment Securities. The other items of the
balance sheet present no feature of importance;
they will be seen in the subjoined table :

About £20,000 in gold were sent into the Bank
Of England yesterday.
The Seine, which left to-day for the West Indies,
took £9,700 in gold and £4,600 in silver.
A dividend at the rate of 51 per cent. per annum
will be proposed at the ensuing meeting of the
Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company.

The Joint-Stock Banks, following the movement
in the minimum rate of discount, have reduced
their allowance on deposits to 4 per cent., the Lon-
(1°11 and Westminster, however, as usual offering
1 per cent. less for sums under £5OO. The discount
411118 give 4 per cent. for money at call, and 41
"With 7 days' notice of withdrawal.'.:
Owing to the engagements of the 4th of the
Month, which will have to be settled to-morrow, the
demand for money is rather more active, although
the market still presents a very quiet appearance.
The supplies are abundant for the requirements of
the mercantile community, and capitalists being
anxious to employ their resources are still actively
competing with the Bank of England. The result
is that the best description of commercial bills can
now be negociated as low as 4/ per cent.
During the last few days there has been very
little business transacted in the Foreign and Colo-
nial Produce Market. Tea has been rather cheaper,
and sugars have declined about 6d. per cwt. The
operations in coffee, rice, and cocoa have been on a
limited scale, without material alteration in values.
Saltpetre, however, has advanced about 6d. per
cwt., and tallow has continued dull for both present
and future delivery.
Increased quietude was perceptible in the Liver-
Pool Cotton Market yesterday, but prices were
tolerably steady. The sales were 6,000 bales.
At the meeting of the London District Telegraph
Company, today, the directors' report referred to
the progressive increase in the receipts, the open-
ing of twenty new stations since the previous state-
kent, and the income derived from private tele-
graPhs, which are now becoming an important
source of revenue. The directors continue to urge
neon the shareholders the desirability of individual
co-operation to make known the advantages and
Objects of the company.

The English Stock Market to-day has presented
to new feature of importance, although continued
buoyancy has prevailed, Consols being 94 for
honey and the 7th instant, and 90Z 2 for the
September account. The New Threes are firm at
SO I, the Reduced romain at 90 -} ; Bank Stock
has advanced to 234; India New Loan Scrip to
1001, ; Exchequer Bills are heavy at 14s. to Bs.
41.8- ; June ditto are 4s. and ls, dis.

The Foreign Securities have shown increased
'buoyancy, particularly Turkish Bonds, the Old
6 per Cents. being quoted 791,-- to 80; the Loan of
1858, 69 1, being an advance of about 1 per ct.; do.
4100 Bonds have improved to 71 and 72 ; Sardinian
t° 79L Russian to 1021, Dutch 4 per Cents. to 100,
and Danish to 821 83.

A limited amount of business has been transacted
111 the Railway Share Market, and little variation
has taken place in prices. Caledonians and South
"u4asterns have improved 55.; and London and Brigh-
ton, 10s. ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, South Wes-
terns North Western, and Midlands declined ss. ;
and Great Northern A stock, 10s.

Ile Foreign and Colonial undertakings have
folly_ maintained former rates. South Austrian and
Indian,
have improved to 161 .!, ; East
"la; to 99-1- ; and Great Indian Peninsula, to
95.1 .2.
