The return of the Bank of England for the week
ending Wednesday, May 23, compared with that
for the previous week, shows the following change,:
Circulation issue 626,300,435 Decrease 2551,390
Circulation active 25,469,570 Decrease 651,425
Public deposits 5,994,761 Mecum 58,542
Other deposits

Governnient securities in
banking department 10,837,056 No change.
Other securities in busking
department 31,060,406 Increase 107,147
Ooin and bullion in both
departments
Seven day and other bills 551,121 Increase 21,*11.
The Best 3,385,677 Increase 42,466
Notes in reserve
Total reserve (notes & coin)
in banking department— 1,388,216 lumens 186,406
This return shows that we have not yet got
through the crisis. The only unfavourable change,
however, is the decrease of 466,0191. in the coin
and bullion, following the decrease of 832,3361.,
shown in the previous return. The withdrawals
are now almost wholly on continental account, and
are prompted by the feeling of distrait abroad
which it was the object of Lord Clarendon in his
recent letter to the British ministers abroad, to

allay. Still, with nearly twelve millions of sieete
and bullion in the Bank, the idea of the converti-
bility of the Bank note being endangered is pre-
posterous. The advances on private securities are
not only maintained at the extraordinary amount
lately reached, ed, but show afresh increase of 107,1471.
The BA having gained slightly, however, in de-
posits, the reserve of notes has increased 100,0361,
the total being 830,8681. With this reserve it has
of course not been necessary for the Bank directors
actually to violate the act of 1844.

closed at a fresh fall. Danubian and Turkish
Bonds of 1858 declined 2 per cent., and Turkish
of 1862, Egyptian, Russian, Spanish (including
the Passive), and Venezuelan, about 1. The Com-

spectively.
