FRENCH BANDlTTl.—lnformation having been received
at Retournac, in the Upper Loire, that three ferocious ban-
dits—Grand Guillaume and his brother, and their associate,
called Bras de Fer—who had long been the terror and scourge
of the country, were concealed in a lone house, on the sum-
mit of the hill called the Madeline, above Beauzac, a party
of gendarmes were a few days ago sent to arrest them. The
house was surrounded, and they were summoned to surrender.
The brigands, however, were armed, and fired upon their
assailants. One of the gendarmes received a ball on the
breast, but fortunately it was prevented from penetrating by
striking upon the brass plate of his belt. Another gendarme,
less fortunate, received two balls in one of his legs, which
was fractured. Nothing daunted by this resistance, the other
gendarmes forced their way into the house, and after a
desperate struggle, secured the three prisoners. Grand
Guillaume was under sentence by default to the hulks for
life, but his brother and Bras de Fer have only to answer for
the misdeeds they have committed since in his company.
These, however, are quite enough, for only a week before
they, in addition to their other attrocities, ravaged a vine-
yard, and burnt down the house upon it. The inhabitants
of the country armed themselves, and aided the gendarmes
in conducting the malefactors to prison, and also in carrying
Besson, the wounded man, to Nloristrol,where he received
every medical treatment and other care his case required.—
Galiynani's Messenger.

The usual average return under the old act of the liabilities
and assets of the Bank of England, embracing the period
from the 16th of July to the Bth of October, both inclusive,
which appeared in Friday night's Gazette, gives the following
results, viz. :
That the average of the thirteen weeks ending the Bth of
October, as compared with the average of the thirteen weeks
ending the 16th of July, shows
An increase in the circulation of .. 1,725,000
An increase in the deposits of .. 803,000
An increase in the stock of bullion of 1,815,000
Wherefore it appears that the increase in the liabilities is
£2,528,000, and this represents the increase in the total quan-
tity of money in the thirteen weeks ending the Bth of Octo-
ber, as compared with the thirteen weeks eading the 16th of
July, in so far as regards the administration of the currency
by the Bank of England.
The yearly comparison is as follows .
The average of the thirteen weeks ending the Sth of Octo-
ber 1842, as compared with the average of the thirteen weeks
ending the 12th of October, 1841, shows
An increase in the circulation of .. £2,412,000
An increase in the deposits of 1,839,000
An increase in the stock of bullion of 4,920,000
