CITY, Two o'CLocK.
The Bank of England return, completed to the
10th of
April, is of a satisfactory character ; some
m4thtlier important variations, however, are apparent.
_ließullion, notwithstanding the demand for coin,
r sing from the payment of the dividends, shows
slight augmentation. The Reserve of Notes,
.
the same cause, has been slightly diminished,
bile there is a decrease of nearly three millions in
the Public Deposits; the Private Deposits have
been Proportionally increased. There is also an
tensive falling off in the Other Securities. The
payment of the dividends on Bank Stock has caused
a diminution in the Rest of about £700,000 sterling.
Another important feature in the return is a de-
e.ase to a large amount in the Government Secu-
rities,The other items of the balance-sheet, and
theu changes they present, are shown in the sub-
loined table :
