United Mandan 24,223,738 33,232,246 1 973,312,

Showing a decrease of 1,0.50,2951. in the nets threw.
lotion of England and Water', and a decrease of
973,5124 In the circulation of the United Kingdom,
when compared with the returns for the previous
month ending the 18th of May.
On comparing the above returns with the fixed
issue of the several banks, we find the following to
bo the state of the cimu:ation :

The fixed issues of the private banks in England
and \Vaks being 4,805,4234, it follows they were be-
low the amount, 1,232,3821.. . . .

The fixed issues of the joint stock banks being
3,400,9871., it follows they were below the amount
664,760/.
The fixed isms of the Irish banks being 6,351,1911.,
it follows they woe be!ow the amount 2,112,6831.,
with specie in hand to cover issues fur 1,423,9011.,
besides. _ _ _ _ _ . _

The fixed issues of the Scotch banks being
3087,2094, it follows they were above the amount
351,3191., but with specie in hand to c3ver the ex-
C 4 rig, and issues for 472,04 IL beaLles.
We find, therefore, that the note circulation of the
private and joint stock banks of England and Wales
was 1,917,1421. below tho amount authorised to ha
Lined ; and that, inclusive of Scotland and Ireland, it
we., on balance, 3,615,506/. below the fixed amount.
Th 3 average amount of coin and bullion held by
the Bank of England in both departments during the
f Air weeks ending the 15th ult., was 16,811,9364
showing an increase on the previous month's return
of 207,8654
The aver. ,e stock of specie held by the Irish banks
during the same term was 1,423,9011. ; being a de-
crease on the return for the previous four weeks of
16,3371.
The average of specie held by the Scotch banks
during the same term wu 856,363/. ; decrease on
the previous month, 23,1791.
As compared with the corresponding period of last

The le:mints received to-day from the German
wool markets now in progresq report as follows :--At
Kirchheim upwards of 131)00 eentner wool had ar-
rived, of which a great portion had already been dis-
posed of at 6tl to 881 for middlicg fine Bastard wool,
being 10 to 15 per cent. higher than last year; and
100 to 1409. for fine, or 8 to 10 percent. advance over
the prices of 1849. The low and inferior qualities
realised from 30 fl. to 50 fl., and 0 rman country
wool GO R., bring 10 per cont, higher than last year.
The accounts from Vienna estimate the produce of
this year's clip in the neighbouriog districts at 15
per cent. leas than in 1849, in consequence of which
and the advance obtained this year at all the German
wool fairs, the proprietors were firm in demanding
high priers, especially for the better qualities. Little
therefore had been done for export, but for native
consumption a fair amount of business had been

done for Bruno account, at 106 A. to 120 IL for single
clip ; whilst for ordinary cloth wool there was
little inquiry. Zigag and tan wool of the
better qualities were in good request for
export at 2 fl. advance. It is gratifying to find
that the Brum and Vienna clothiers have made seve-
ral purchases of Australian wool, with a view to try
its properties. It is represented as likely to come
into competition with the Austrian and Russian
wools, and that the time is probably not very distant
when the import of foreign and the export of native
wool will be about equalised in the Austrian
dominions.
Accounts have been received from Pernambuco to
the 11th of May. The rainy season had set in, and
consequently the receipts of produce were small; little
however was left in the interior. Sugar wee quoted
2,300 to 2,850 rs. for good white in bags, and 1,600
to 1,680 re. for browns. The price of cotton had
been maintained at 6,300 to 6,400 rs. Hides had de-
clined to 100 rs. Freights were depressed ; 30s. for
the channel, and 355. for sugar to the continent were
the last charters. There were but few vesgels in port
disengaged. Exchange on London had been nego-
tiated variously from 28d. to 27d., but at the latter
rate there were few buyers. The yellow fever had
almost ceased and casualties were confined to the
harbour.
