MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY EVENING.
In addiiton to the large arrivals of gold • an-
nounced in the NORTHERN DAILY TIMES of this
day, we have to report 8,000 ounces by the Hope,
which arrived on Saturday, according to our Lon-
don advices, from the West Coast of Africa. The
Jane Charlotte, from Adelaide, and the Duke of
Richmond, from Portland Bay, are also reported to
have a considerable quantity of specie on freight.
The amount was not known when our despatch left
London. The importations of gold for the last
week were 535,0001., which, when added to
those now stated, makes the aggregate amount
about 660,0001., while the exports for .the
week ending Saturday, amount to 336,0001.
only. The Duke of Richmond brings 1,432 bales
of wool. _ _

The influx of gold is now considerably greater
than the eflux, and consequently it may be fairly
inferred that the Bank of England will not advance
its rates of interest, but on the contrary, will
shortly be disposed to make some slight conces-
sion to the trading community. We are watching
closely the movements of bullion, subsequent to its
arrival in this country, and thus far it does appear that
the large quantities of the precious metals which
have arrived within the last few months, have not
found there way to the cellars of the Bank of Eng-
land. The Joint Stock Banks have now stood the
test of. time, and their increasing popularity may
in some measure account for the fact we have
alluded to. Recent returns show that the deposits
in the Joint Stock Banks of London alone,
amounted to 14,000,0001, which is an increase
of 14 per cent. over the same period last year.
We have been favoured with private advices
from St. Petersburg, date d. the 17th inst., from which
we make the following extract :
" The Minister of Finance desired the attendance of a
deputation of four English merchants, in consequence of
which Messrs. Gwyer, Anderson, Cattley, and Bell waited
upon him, when they were told, in the name of his Majesty
the Emperor, that British merchants might continue to
transact their business in the usual way, as both their per-
sons and property should be respected, whether this country
be at war with England or not. This is both noble and
reassuring to all those who have property in Russia, and
ought to produce the best impression on your side. Not a
word more is so far heard of the Manifesto, which was to
have appeared, it is therefore presumed that the rumour was
without any foundation."
The Liverpool Cotton Market was firm again
to-day, and 6000 bales were sold at yesterday's
prices. Of this quantity 500 bales were taken on
speculation. We here submit to the trade a care-
fully prepared return of the Cotton now at Sea
for this port, from the United States of America,
with dates names of ships, clearances, &c.,

The Liverpool Share Market is still in a de-
orably inactive state; yet wo cannot help predict-

ing that it must soon rally.
The London Stock Market was firmer and more
active to-day, and the fears of war are for the pre-
sent subsiding. Consols advanced e, and for
both money and time were quoted at 914 to 911.

at the enormous interest of 10 per cent. Great
pains have been taken to injure the credit of the
