..110NEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The Bank of England return, completed to the 3d
inst., shows some rather important alterations.
The bullion, notwithstanding the large arrivals
from the continent and the West Indies and Pacific,
only shows a slight addition, in consequence of the
augmented circulation of coin. In the reserve of
notes there is a diminution to a small extent, while
the other securities show a moderate increase. The
public deposits, owing to official disbursements,
have been diminished by about half a million, while
the private deposits show nearly an equal augmen-
tation. In the other items of the balance-sheet the
changes are not of much importance. They are
shown in the subjoined table :

tern, and Midlands have improved ss. ; and Great
Westerns, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and No.th
