The return of the Bank of England liabilities, &e.,
for the week to the 20th inst., gives us the remnant of the
changes produced by the quarterly payments, and these
were not of particular magnitude. The active cireu;;
lation and bullion were further drawn upon, the public
deposits were slightly reduced, sad the advances upon
securities were larger. The following is a comparison

We have received from the committee of Spanish
American bondholders the following summary of their
recent advices from Venezuela:—
" The Government will appoint a commission in Lon-
don for receiving the remittances and ming the divi-
dends, to be composed of the Venezuelan Consul, and
two other gentlemen to be named by the committee.
" The fourth part of the customs duties appropriated
towards the domestic and foreign debt is to be distri-
buted as fellows:-221 per cent. to the domestic, and
771 to the foreign debt. ,
" The Executive haVe recommended to the Congress a
plan for liquidating the arrears.
" The Government declines acceding to the committee's
tuggesion for appointing agents in Venezuela (similar
to what takes place in Mexico), fir receiving the funds
from the custom-houses, and remitting them to Eng-
land, but undertakes to make the remittances itself.
"The committee have nominated the following gentle-
men on its part to act with the Vow zeelan Comet' as
the commission of agency in London, viz.:—Baron de
Golismid, the chairman, and J. D. Yowler, Esq.,deputy-
chairman of the committee."
