„The Bank of England return, completed to the
`'l November, is of a satisfactory character. The
Chief feature, however, is a large increase in the
Public deposits, the augmentation amounting to
labout a million and a half, owing to the active col-
etion of the revenue. In the private deposits
cthere is a decrease of nearly one million. The
billion has
been slightly augmented, and the re-
serve of notes shows an increase of over a quarter
ofa million sterling. In the other securities there
has been a small accumulation, the circulation
having„, been diminished to a rather large extent.
The other items of the balance sheet, and the
