'EJOMIIIERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. - - CITY, Two o'CLocx. The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed firmly, and prices of all descriptions were unchanged. The sales amounted to 7,000 tales, 1,000 of which were taken by the exporters, and 500 by the specu lators. The Railway Share Market closed dull, and prices of all the leading shares were a shade lower. Accounts from the manufacturing districts de scribe business as still being exceedingly dull, but prices are firtr, and hopes are entertained of an early alteration. The advices from America by the steamer Niagara state that the last return published by th► City Banks, viz., for the week ending 31st ultimo, showed an increase of 530 dollars on the loans and discount., but a decrease of 811,219 dollars in th specie, 41,332 in the circulation, and 48,670 in the deposits. The Niagara brings 1,220,108 dollars in specie, and La Plata, from Mexico, 1,059,732 dollars. During the last two or three days the demand for money in Lombard-sire •t nd at the Bank of England has slightly increased, but no ahsolute pressure has teen expetienced. On the Stook Ex change also the inquiry has ra . her augmented, but there is, nevertheless, a strong disposition tit believe that the improvements in financial affairs generally will be gradual and uninterrupted. The steady influx of spe , lie from Australia, America, rtc., and the retention of a fair proportion in this country has promoted a s•tnguine fer ling, and the amelioration which has been observed in the Bank veturns for some weeks past encourages the belief that a decline in the minimum rate of discount will soon take place. The contraction of trade, and the absence of speculation mint exercise some effect in limiting the demand, but there are numerous obligati ns that have periodically to be discharged, and which prevent an accumulation of capital. In Paris, where monetary relations are in a similar situation to t . at witnessed here the strin gency is still sustained, but hopes based on the satisfa e ory Bank returns, and the contemplated issue of 50 franc notes, are indulged of a speedy alleviation. The ahserption of money for the de velopment of joint-stock enterprise under taken by the Credit Mohilier is still rapid, but signs of amendment which are not likely to prove decep tive, are visible. The determination of the authorities to avail tl'emselves of the privi leges of the new charter at the earliest op portunity by issuing 50 franc notes is hailed with con-iderable satisfaction by all persons, espe cially those who have had a stake in the financial prosperity of the country for years past, and have seen the numerous advantages derived from former extensions of credit. There can be no question that a similar policy, if pursued in this country, would be highly beneficial, but at present no immediate Prospect exists of any such change. It must even tually be resorted to, however, despite the views, whatever they may be, of the Committee now sit ting on the subject of the Bank Charter. Last week the imports of specie amounted to 1,054,6801., and the exports, t.s far as they are known, were to the extent of 206,7701. Notwithstanding the late very con-dderable arri vals of the precious metals, and the additional im ports announced to-day of ab ut 511,000/. more, Making for a period of less than a month about 4,200,0001., and. thekno wledge that of his extraordi nary supply above 500,0001. win' into the Bank last Week the tone of the market for the English Funds undergoes no m+terial change for the better.

The Rubrick weighed anchor at nine o'clock and left fur the point of her destina4.ion. On leaving the harbour she was ssluted by the Danish corvette Heimdal with twenty-one guns, which were replied to by the Russian frigate. SILK CROP.—The general result of the European a n d Asiatic silk crop can now be appr ximatrly estimated, and according to ad vices from M. Arles Dufour, of Lyons, dated Friday, it is likely to prove better than was at one time anticipated. From a résumé which hs furnishes the following statements are ga' bered respect ing each of the producing countries. The news from Turkey and Greece is as favourable as possible. At Naples the first crop, although reduced to one-half, is much better than last year. In Sicily and Calabria the prospects were encouraging, but the latest advices an 311.,runce that at their fourth stage the worms have become severely affected. In Spain there is only half a normal crop, but it is still much better than the last, both as regards quantity and quality. In Tuscany and the Roman States appearances are very promising. From Lombardy it is stated that in the districts of Brianzia, Brescia, Bergamo, and the lower Tyrol the seed has not succeeded, and the produce will be very poor ; but that in the Frionl and the high Tyrol all is going on most satisfactorily. In Piedmont there are general complaints, but the results are much better than tbo.ie of last season. In France, also, which next to China and Lombardy, is the richest silk producing country in the world, it is now believed the yield, notwitnstanding all drawbacks, will be superior to that of 1856. M. Dufour adds that, assisted by the generally tavourable temperature, the crop, but for the disease in the seed, would have been !marvellous. This persevering malady, he considers, bad its origin in the bad food which the worms have re ceived during six or seven years of moist and warm winters followed by harsh springs ; and, as the season hits now returned to a natural character, the hope is entertained of gradual improvement 18 100 100 100 20 20 20 St. 20 100 100 20 SHARE MARKETS—(Tins Day.)

Barley was very scarce, and quite as dca-. All other spring corn realised extreme rates, and the flour trade was firm. On the Continent about an average business is doing in grain generally fur shipment to England. The value of pryluce in the Udited States continues to fluctuate: Only moderate supplies of English grain were received up to our market last week. The imports were limited, viz., 5,131 quarters of wheat, 2,625 barley, 11,722 'oats, 122 beans, 70 , eas, 6,748 linseed, 6,330 rapeseA, 70 mus tard seed, '251 sacks and 75 b Irrels of flour.

At that amount of im provement the supply was speedily cleared off. The bulk of the arrivals, however, went into very few hands. The show of foreign wheat was seasonably good ; yet, as there was some inquiry for export—believed to be on ac count of the French Government—an improved business was passing in most kinds, and prices were 2s per quarter higher than on this day se'nnight. There was a moderate supply of oats in the market. The tr •de ruled very firm, on 1 prices were well supported. The few beans on offer changed hauls slowly, at barely late rates.

The sick were landed at the Apostles' Battery, and the remainder, landed at Kingston, were marched up to Newcastle. Precautions had been taken to prevent the spread of contagion, and no case of smallpox having broken out in the island had been heard of up to the la.est dates. The de tachment of the 2d West India Regiment, which was sent - to Belize, Honduras, had been sent back in consequence of smallpox being prevalent at that place. The "May seasons" had fairly set in, and heavy rains had fallen for the last two or three days, completely flooding the streets.

From our grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up this morning were moderately good as to number, but, compared with Monday last, there was a deficiency in qua lity. The attendance of both town and country buyers was tolerably numerous, avid the beef trade was far from active, at unaltered currencies. The top figure for the best Scots was 4s 101 per albs. The receipts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire amounted to 2 , 10 ) Scots and short-horns ; from other p3rts of Englani, 309 of various breeds; from Scotland, 140 Scots ; and from Ireland via Liverpool, 21 oxen. • There was a good supply of sheep, both as to number and quality. For most breeds, we had a slow inquiry, yet last week's prices were supported. The best old Downs sold at 5s per 81ba. Lambs—the supply of wl'ich was moderately good— moved off slowly on former terms, viz., from 5s 8d to 6s 8d per tabs. The market was well supplied with calves, and the veal trade was in a sluggish trade, at Friday's decline, in value of 2 per Sibs. The top quotation was 5s per 81bs. For pigs the demand ruled heavy, at barely stationary prices. The City authorities have passed a resolution to alter the market day from Friday to Thursday.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS. There have been full average supplies of pot does on sale in these markets, coastwise and by railway, since our last report. The trade generAlly has ruled heavy at drooping prices. Last weeks' importi were 675 bags from Ilatnbro, 158 baskets from Oporto, and 19 baskets from Antwerp.

The demand for hops coniinues steady, owing to the advices from the plantations, which aro far from favour able, and the estimated duty about 120,; 007. In prices, compared with last week, very little change has taken place. The imports have been only 78 bales from Hombre.

AMERICA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—l have read with much pleasure the letter of your correspondent, " M. C. C.," in which she suggests that the ladies of England should raise a subscription for the purpose of presenting Lerd Lyndhurst and Sir Erskine Perry with a testimonial, in the shape of some work of art orarticle of vertu, as an expression of the deep gratitude of onr sex for the noble exertions of those gentlemen in our behalf in opposition to the many objectionable clauses in the Chancellor's Divorce Bill. I am one, I hope of many, who responds most cheerfully to M. C. C.'s proposal, and beg to offer her my thanks for her admirable and well timed letter. lam sure that thousands of our country. women will respond with equal cheerfulness. M. C. O. iisks that some lady of position will give to her sugges tion a more tangible shape. I can only say, I shad be most happy to send my name and 201. subscriptior, whenever M. C. C., by advertisement or otherwise, in your paper, will do me the favour to say how I can communicate with her. —I am, ecc., A LADY OF TITLE. FIRE AT MESSRS. PICKFO.RD AND CO.'S. The following letters have been addressed to the editor of the Times : Sir,—The exaggerated statements which have ap. peared in reference to the results of the late fire at the premises occupied by Messrs. Pickford and Co., at Camden-town induce me to request the favour of your giving insertion to this note in your next issue. It is, of course, impossible for me to ascertain exactly the loss which has been sustained ; but suffictert ie already known to enable me to deny the accuracy of many of the statements. For instance, it ►s said t hat 40,000 quarters of corn were destroyed. The entire quantity in the building was 400 quarters, with 1,200 quarters of beans. The number of horses is greatly overstated, and I sat happy to add that, only one animo. met with any case. alty. The area of the warehouses astroyed is little more than an acre, instead of five as stated. The quantity of goods within the warehouses at the time of tee confla gration was very small, owing to the fact that all the important trains for the north had been despatched, and time was given by telegraph to atop the incoming trains. The entire weight of good= (many of them of very small value) which wes destroyed is about 60 tons, and the insurances eff-cted upon them will cover the loss. The building itself was insured for a considerable amount, and the loss on it will be small. I need naraly say that, as the warehouse is separated from the railway by the Regent's Canal, neither the line nor other works of the railway were affected. The various reports which have appeared in the public prints all seem to as-ess the damage at exactly 250,0001. ; without being able precisely to state the amount, I have little hesitation in saying that in all probability this sure is about four times the real amount, including the building. I may add that the business has not been interrupted. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, MARE Huisg. General Manager's office, Euston Station, June 1:3. Sir,—ln reply to a letter from your reporter relative to the above, appealing in your insertion of yesterday, I beg to state that the greater part of the books in us• in the 0 C. office (the only office ope❑ at the time of the tire) w. re saved, several of which I took out myself. Moreover, I can testify, that the principal of our (ffice, at the Lazard of his own life, waited until he saw all that was possible moved from the office. Apologizing for again intruding upon your valuable space and time, I am, Sir, yours obediently, RICHARD STEEL. Camden Station, London, June 13. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.---(This Day.) LoNnorr, June 15.
