should be well informed that the estate will yield

announcement of this stoppage, communicated in the

The following statement, prepared and condensed
from various official returns, will be found to present
an intelligible view of the note circulation of the I
United Kingdom, and of the coin and bullion held by
the banks indicated, both positively at the date of the
accounts last made up, and comparatively with re-
turns for corresponding periods.
The aggregate average note circulation of the
United ICiegdom, according to the returns last collec-
tie completed for all_ the banks of iusae. stood for

avely
the four weeks ending the 6th instant, as follows:
Bank of
Private 1=124 00,226,713
4,209,317
Joint stook
Irish banks
Soolob banks

3,084,361
5,419,314
3,606,718
Totnl circulation on weekly average £36,736,453
Total for the four weeks ending Oct. 9

The iscreue was thus composed on balance ; for
the Bank of England the increase was 1,885,8811.
For the private banks, decrease, 32,3811. For the
joint-stock banks, decrease, 22,9361. For the Irish
, increase, 163,7011. For the Scotch banks, in-
crease, 46,7421.
The fixed issues of the private banks (with deduc-
tions for the non-returns of banks which have abso-
lutely failed as under), being reduced to 4,961,6131.,
it follows they were below the amount 662,2661. The
following private banks are omitted for the weeks
dated, for which no returns were made, because of
their failure meanwhile; viz., the Shaftesbury bank
for the week ending Oct. 23, and since; the Hutton
bank for and from the week ending Oct. 30; the
Shrewsbury and Market Drayton bank for the week
ending Nov. 6. Various corrections still require to
be made in respect of the fixed issues both for private
and joint stock banks, but as some of the banks
which have suspended payments may resume, and
some doubtless will, it is not deemed necessary at
present to make any more particular alteration.
The fixed issues of the joint stock banks, subject to
the foregoing explanation, being 3,418,2774, it fol-
lows they were below the amount 333,9161.
The fixed issues of the Irish banks being 6,334,4941.,
lit follows they were below the amount 835,1801., with
specie in hand to cover issues for 1,536,526/. more.
The fixed issues of the Scotch banks being
3,087,2091., it follows they were above the amount
519,5091., but with specie to cover the excess and
596,3511. more.
The average of coin and bullion held by the Bank
of England during the four weeks ending the 6th
instant was 8,477,829/. ; decrease on the previous re-
turns of October 9, 181,483/.
The average of specie held by the Irish banks
during the same term was 1,336,5264 ; increase on
the October return, 18,814/.
The average of specie held by the Scotch banks
during the same term was 1,116,0604 ; increase on
the October return, 7,232/.

ences in the circulation :
