. The Bank of England return completed to the
12th September, shows some satisfactory altera-
tions. The bullion, owing to the arrival of Aus-
tralian arid American gold, with the influx of coin
from the provinces, has been slightly augmented.
The reserve of notes shows a large addition, there
being a corresponding decrease in the circulation.
The public deposits, owing to the active revenue
collections, have been considerably increased, while
there is also a slight addition to the private depo-
sits. The other securities show a diminution of
about a quarter of a million sterling. In the other
items of the balance sheet no change of importance
can be recorded. Subjoined is our usual table of
variations :

THE LATE THOMAS 1100 D Dundee Ad-
vertiser says :—" It may not be generally known, but it
ought to be that Thomas Hood, who so pathetically sung
the Song of the Shirt,' spent two years
thofe columnshut outh
in
Dundee, and began his literary career inof
the Advertiser, the only newspaper then published in the
town. It was in 1814, when Hood was 15 or 16 years of
age, that he came to Dundee to live with his father's r_e_ai-
tives for the " benefit of his health, which was always del -
cate. Here he found himself in the midst of aunts, uncles,
and consin.s, of whose existence he had never preTiously heard,
and whose language and manners were quite strange and
.uncouth to one who had been born and bred in Co ckneedoni ;
it was,' he observes, like coming among the Struldftrugs.'
During these two years his amusements were walks
fishing, and boating, occasionally relieved by writing for
the columns of the Advertiser, then under the editorship of
the late Mr. Rintoul of the Spectator. He also centri-
bated a few trifles to the Dundee Magazine. On examin-
ing a file of the Advertiser, extending over the period of
Hold's sojourn in Dundee, we cannot to a certainty iden-
tify any article, either in poetry or prose, as Hood's Own,'
the contributions in general assuming fanciful names; yet
We alight on an occasional whimsicality' which might
have come from the pen which eketchecl s 0 b.uracr9uBlY
Min Silmanpegg.'
