This return, which embraces the second week of
the dividend payments, confirms our view, previously
expressed, that the available resources of the Bank
arc undergoing a steady augmentation, such an can-
not fail to exercise a beneficial influence on tho
money market. The stock of bullion has increased
by the respectable sum of 177,6611. Duriag tho
period included the Thames arrived from the %Vest
Indies with specie to the amount of 264,0041/., by
which the total imports of the week, as chronicled by
us at the time, were raised to nearly. 380,0004
Owing, however, to this vessel having armed late in
the week at Southampton, the effect of this import
will not be seen till the next return, which may bo
expected to present a further considerable rise in the
Bank's metallic stock. The other changes exhibited
by the return are usual, and, beyond the remark
that they fire of a highly satisfactory character, do
not call for particular notice.
According to the official returns published in the
Gazette of lust Tuesday, the total note circuation of
all the private banks of England and Wales during
the week ending the lsth of October list, was
3,636,515/. ; in the week preceding, the amount was
3,5-12,503'. There is consequently an increase of
93,7121.

The note circulation of the joint-stock banks
during the
.same week was 2,903,700'., and the pre.
Timis week's return being 2,868,142/., the increase is
shown to be 37,558'. . . .

On taking into consideration the active circulation
of the Bunk of England, which in the week in ques-
tion was 20,676,005/. (being 1,101,3831. more than the
week preceding), we hod the aggregate note circula-
tion of England and Wales to be 27,216,220 t, which
shows an increase of 1,235,655 f. us compared with the
returns for the previous week, ending the I lth of
October.

As regards the fixed issues, the private banks wero
1,061,560 f., and the joint-stock hanks :506,2471.,
below the amount authorised to be issued, making a
total of 1,567,8471. below the fixed amount.
