MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK,

The Bank of England return, completed for the
week ending the 8d inst., shows some important
changes. The bullion, owing to the increased cir-
culation of coin, shows a rather large diminution,
and the reserve of notes has also been diminished
by nearly a million and a half. The active demand
for money has caused an increase in the other secu-
rities to the extent of a quarter of a million. The
public deposits, in consequence of the payments of
official salaries and other disbursements usual at
this period of the year, have bee. decreased by
about a quarter of a million. The various items
of the balance-sheet, and the changes they present,
are shown in the subjoined table :
