The statement of the Bank of England for the week
to the 10th instant is more conclusive than was the last,
as to the limitation of its business ; bat this is not an
unusual movement at the present time of year. The
circulation was smaller, and the increased amount of
public deposits will account for the reduction,
taken in conjunction with the contraction, of
loans upon other securities; while a partial withdrawal
of private balances, and investments or advances on Go-
vernment securities, will serve, with increase i❑ the seven
day and other bills, to explain why the circulation was
not even is a comparison of the last with the previous
week's extra demand for the precious metals. The follow-
ing more contracted, and why, also, there was a slightly
return :
