timriti,d at 10,000 bales, of which 3,000 were taken on

The weekly return of the Bank of England to the
6th inst. is the last which we shall have that does
not include the dividend payments, and the changes are
merely premonitory. The active circulation was rather
smaller, but upon balance there was an increase of de•
posits, and a decrease of bullion, both tending to diminish
the employment of notes. The repayment of loans was
effected also to a small extent. Compared with the pre-
vious week, the following are the results:—
