It may be interesting to note, while on the subject of specie reserve against aoto circulation, that many of the banks in Engla id are not compelled to hold any such reserve. There are, wo believe, ovor alty joint-stook banks in the provinces

to the extent of over two millions ster- ling without in bolag compulsory to hold any gold in reserve against them. It is also an error to believe, as many per- sons do, that the Bank of England covers its israd of notes with gold depo- sited in its vanite. The Bank can issue notes to the amount of fifteen millions without any gold being placed as k reserve against them, brat no notes can be issued above that amount except in exchange for gold, The Bank holds Government securities for the fifteen millions sterling against which it bas not necessarily any specie lying in its raults.
