6th of February, is again of a very satisfactory
character. The stock of bullion has been increased
by nearly a quarter of a million sterling, while the

extent. In the other securities there is a diminu-
tion of about a quarter of a million, and the public
deposits show considerably over half a million,
while the private deposits has been diminished to
about a like amount. In the other items of the

character; they will be seen in the subjoined
