The Express.
London, England, 1852-02-13 00:00:00

Showing an increase of 1,659,213/. in the note cir-
culation of England and Wales, and a decrease
of 1,349,1221. in the circulation of the United King-
dom when compared with the returns for the previous
four weeks, ending the 27th of December.
On comparing the above returns with the Reed
issues of the several banks, we find the following to
be the state of the circulation :

The fixed issues of the private banks of England
and Wales being at present, after deducting those
which have ceased to issue, 4,6911,0751., it follows
they were below the amount 1,203,3251.
The fixed issues of the joint-stock banks being
3,409,9571., it follows they were below the amount
666 6361 _ . . . .

The fixed issues of the Scotch banks being
3,0K7,2091., it follows they were above the amount
196,343/., but with specie in band to cover the ex-
cess, and issues for 740,19ti1. besides.

The fixed issues of the Irish banks being 6.354,4944
it follows they were below the amount 1,674,0301.,
' with specie in hand to cover issues for 1,211,1281.
more.

We find, therefore, that the note circulation of the
private and joint stock banks of England and Wales
was 1,870,1611. below the amount authorised to be
' issued; and that, inclusive of Scotland and Ireland,
the circulation was, on balance, 3,347,8161. below the
flied amount.

The average amount of coin and bullion held by
the Bank of England in both departments during tho
four weeks ending the 24th Jan. was 17,682,863 L,
showing an increase on the previous month's return
of 639,6931.

The average stock of specie held by the Irish
banks during the same period was 1,211,1251., being
an increase on the return for the previous four weeks
of 30 1061. ,

ThC average of specie held by the Scotch banks
during the same term was 936,58 i I.; increase on the
previous month, 25,8661.
In the item of specie these returns consequently
show an aggregate increase of 695,66.51., on tho
month.

As compared with the corresponding period of
1&51, the returns under review show the following
differences in the circulation :

SMITHFIELD MARKET.—THIS DAY.
The number of Beasts fresh up from our owu grazing
districts is very small; the supply chiefly consisting of fo-
reign and those left over from Monday last. Trade is dull,
and sales are with difficulty effected at late quotations. The
supply of Sheep has rather increased; there is, however,
a demand for them, and they are readily sold at Monday's
prices. Good Calves are nut plentiful, sod, consequently,
make nearly as much as of late; but trade is very twisty for
inferior qualities, at lower rates. Our foreign supply con-
sists of 127 Beasts, 9.50 Sheep, and 144 Calves. The num-
ber of milt* Cows on sale is 130.

STRANGE MODE. OF SUICIDE. —(From a Coe-
respondent.)—About two o'clock yesterday morning, one
of the city police, in passing along King William street,
was startled by observing fire suddenly issuing forth from
a man's mouth, who was standing at the corner of the
Street. The °Nicer ran ferward to ascertain the muse, and
discovered the party to be a Frenchman, and that he had
attempted eel..-destruction by the following means :—Having
withdrawn the yolk of an egg from the shell, ha had tilled
the latter with gunpowder, and, placing it in his mouth,
ignited the same with a fusee. His mouth and throat ware
greatly burned, but otherwise be escaped material injury.
lie was immediately conveyed to Guy's Hospital, when he
was searched. The only articles found on him war, a large
canker of powder and a box of fusses. He gave his tome
as Henri Repine, belonging to Aix-la-Chapelle, and said he
was by trade a watchmaker and jeweller. He remains in
the hospital. It is expected he will be sufficiently recovered
by to-morrow to be brought up at the Maasion-house for
esamination on the charge of attempting his lift.
