pared with the returns for the previous month ending

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 issues of the private banks in' England
and Wales being 4,805,4234 it follows they were
below the amount 1,208,4061.
Tee fixed issues of the joint stock banks being

752,0111.

The fixed issues of the Irish banks being

1,718,7531., with specie in hand to cover issues fur
1,538,0381. besides.

3,087,209 L, it follows they were below the amount
32,7461., with lipeciu in hind to cover juries for

We find, therefore, that the note circulation of the
private and joint stock banks of England and IVales
was 1,960,4171. below the amount authorised to be
issw•d; and that, inclusive of Scotland and Ireland,
it was 3,711,9164 below the fixed amount.
