CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The Bank of England return, completed to the
4th January, shows some very important changes.
The bullion, owing to the increased demand for the
continent, has been diminished to a considerable
extent. In the reserve of notes there is a falling off
of upwards of a million and a quarter sterling ; but
the other securities, owing to the augmented in-
quiry for money and the advances made by the
authorities on Government stock, owing to the
shutting of the transfer books, have been increased
to a like amount. The public deposits, in conse-
quence of the usual quarterly disbursements, shows
a large diminution, but an addition has been made
to the private deposits ; and the active circulation
has been augmented by nearly one million sterling
The various items, and the changes they present
are shown in the subjoined table :

them,
they refused to partake of what had been prepared

and it soon became apparent that they were suffering
?rfrom illness. An investigation proved that arsenic by
.iistalte had been used with the mash instead of the altera-
tive powder. Mr. Swan, veterinary-surgeon, was sent for,
atid he aPplied thenecessary remedies, but it is feared that
tnot one of the ' team and three young horses that par-

-"e Tnash given on Friday, and not eaten by the horses,
was thrown away ; some of this was partaken of by a beast,
Which is also suffering from its effects. Not one of the
Working' horses was worth less than £45. In addition to
this serious loss several of Mr. Pateman's sheep died dur-
iitg the summer from a prevalent disease. The arsenic had
been in the cupboard about two years.—star ford Mercury.
