Showing a decrease of 499,6171. in the note cir-
culation of England and Wake, and a decrease
of 309,4381. in the circulation of the United King-
dom when compared with the returns for the previous
four week', ending the 15th of May.
On comparing the above returns with the fixed
issues of the several banks, we find the following to
be the state of the circulation :

—The fixed jam es ofthe private banks of England
and Wales being at present, after deducting those
which have ceased to issue, 4,698,0751., it follows
they were below the amount 1,193,1991.
The fixed issues of the joint-stock banks being
3,409,9871., it follows they were below the amount
359,488/.
The fixed issues of the Scotch banks being
3,087,2091., it follows they were above the amount
493,093!., but with specie in hand to cover the excess
and issues for 487,7691. besides.
The fixed issues of the Irish banks being 8,354,4941.,
it follows they were below the amount 1,826,508/.,
with specie in hand to cover issues for 1,194,9831.

Ws find, therefore, that the note circulation of the
private and joint stock banks of England and Wales
was 1,762,68.51. below the amount authorised to be
issued; and that, inclusive of Scotland and Ireland,
the circulation was on balance, 3,085,0981. below the
fixed amount.

The average amount of coin and bullion held by
the Bank of England in both departments during the
four weeks ending the 12th ult. was 20,834,5051.,
showing an increase on the previous month's return
of 828,2521.
The average stock of specie held by the Irish
banks during the same period was 1,194,0831., being
a decrease on the return for the previous four weeks
of 13,8281.
The average of specie held by the Scotch banks
during the ssme term was 960,8821. ; increase on the
previous month, 9,5141.
In the item of specie these returns consequently
show an increase, on balance, of 814,8531. on the
month.
