CITY, Two o'CLocx.

Some important changes are shown in the Bank
of England return completed to the 4th inst. The
public deposits, owing to the payments of official
salaries, &c., have been diminished to the extent
of about a million sterling; while the private
deposits, consequent upon the preparations
made for outstanding engagements, have been
augmented about a million and a quarter sterling.
The reserve of notes has been largely trenched
upon, and there is a slight diminution in the stock
of bullion. The other securities, owing to the ad-
vances made upon Government stock and the in-
creased accommodation afforded to the commercial
community, show an addition of nearly a million
and a half; a large portion of this, however, will
be refunded upon the payment of the dividends.
In the other items of the balance sheet there is no
material change to call for special observation.
They will be seen in the subjoined table :
