The preparations for the Duke of WELLINGTON'S
Funeral are proceeding rapidly, and never, I believe, since
the coronation of the QUEEN, has public curiosity and

so universally excited. This funeral
ceremony will be, without doubt, the most solemn and
grand ever witnessed in the metropolis. The authorities
seem to have succeeded in accomplishing that hitherto

the standard charge. Any more would be extortion.
Although the Parliamentary campaign will nominally
open on Thursday next, it will be for formal business only
—the election of Speaker and the swearing in of members,
and some other routine and unopposed matters. The
First Minister and the Leader of the House of Commons
(Mr. DISRAELI) will give their first Parliamentary ban-
quet on the 10th, at which the QUEEN'S Speech, to be
delivered the following day, will be read. There will be
smart debates in both houses on the Address, but there
will be no adverse motion—at least none that will be
sanctioned by the leaders of the principal opposite sec-
tions. Indeed it is now avowed, by one deep in the secrets

of the Cheshatn-place clique, that " of regular, organised,
concerted opposition there will be actually none—at least
not at the opening of the Session," after all the bluster,
the bragadocio, and the threats.

COM..IIERCIAL AND MONETARY NEWS.

MONDAY NIGHT

OUR markets generally maintain their buoyant
character, resulting apparently from the abundance
of monetary accommodation more than from any
other cause, although, no doubt, increased con-
sumption in the manufacturing and iron-mining
districts is an important element. The rather con-
siderable decrease in the specie held in the Bank of
England, this week, might, under ordinary circum-
stances, have created a little uneasiness. We seem,
however, to have ceased in a great measure to watch
very closely that once universally-received barometer
of our commercial weather. Half a million, more
or less, is nothing to us now ; and in the present
instance we know that the recent large arrivals of
specie are nut contained in the account.
The Returns from the Bank of England for the
week ending the 23rd of October give the following
results when compared with the previous week :
Public deposits .. £4,449.346; Decrease £449.222
Other deposits .. 13,670,230; Increase 562,799
Rest .. .. 3,098,897; Increase 2,701
On the other side of the account—

Government securities £13,950,375 ; the same as before.
Other securities.. .. 11,179,558 ; Decrease £7,503
Notes unemployed .. 11,576,015 ; Increase 183,570

The amount of notes in circulation is £23,160,215,
being a decrease of £499,645 ; and the stock of
bullion in both departments is £21,244,315, show-
ing a decrease of £426,143, when compared with
the preceding return.
