The prise of iold yeateniay at Paris was 'bona
teilie prim. (new tariff rate), which, at by
mint prow of 3L 17s. 101 d. per ounce Om
gold, 'fives an exchange of 26.22; and the
at Parson London at short being 26.421,
that gold Is about 0.816 per oent. dearer in Lend=
than in Paris.
By today's advice@ the price of gold at

W. 17e. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, MI
exchange of 13.71; and the exchange at
Loudon at short being 13.81, it follows that
is 0.466 per amt. dearer in London than in
bmiLeerding to the last soconnts the course el =-

Most of the changes shown in this account, includ-
ing the decrease in the bullion, public deposits,
" other" or private securities and reserve, and the
increase in tLe circulation and "other" deposits, are
the natural consequences of the dividend payments,
the first portion of which was made in the week
embraced. At the same time, it may be
observed, that the relief to the Bank is
rather more considerable than had been anticipated,
at least such is the inference to be drawn from the
numerical amount of the differences shown in the re-
spective items of the balance-sheet. This result,
however, is in a great measure assisted by the
large augmentation in the stock of government se-
curities held by the institution, a movement which
proves the anxiety of the directors to further the in-
terests of their proprietary by giving the fullest pos-
sible extension to their means of profitably investing
the available means that have been at their
disposa for so long a time. With the discount rate
ahead y very low, and with so slender a prospect of
a further reduction tending to the enlargement of
their business and profits, it is manifest that this is
almost the only opening that offered. The demean
in the " Rat"w of course, owing to the transfer
from that account of the amount coming forward in
the alive of dividends on Bank Stock. With regard
to the stock of bullion, it may be observed that any'

se imports ham various quarters have
extremely large, and the re-action from the
internal circulation will ere long begin to be sensibly
felt.

According to the official returns published in the
Garal.4* of last Tuesday, the total note circulation of
all the private banks of England and Wales, during
the week ending the 3rd of April, was 3,546,7281;

the same week was 2,879,096:.; and the previous
I week's return being 2,821,7941., the increase m shown

On taking into consideration the active circulation
of the Bank of England, which in the week in ques-
tion was 20,887,4561. (being 537,2101. more than the
week preceding), we find the aggregate note circular
tion of England and Wales to be 27,113,2781., which
shows an increase of 885,9441., u compared with the
Mums for the previous week ending the 27th of
',larch, and an increase of 1,813,9021. compared with
hose for the corresponding week of last year.
