The Bank of England return, completed to the
13th inst., is again of a very satisfactory character.
The bullion, owing to the arrivals of specie from,
the continent and Australia, has been augmented
by about a quarter of a million sterling ; in the'
reserve of notes there is an increase of half a million,'
and the other securities share an important diming-1
Con. The active collection of the revenue, as usual,
at this period of the year, has augmented thel,
Public Deposits, and a small diminution has conse-
quently taken place in the private balances. The;
Government Securities show an increase of about
half a million. The other items of the balance-1
sheet exhibit no alterations of importance ; they,
