COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The Liverpool cotton market, yesterday, closed
very heavily, and most sorts of American qualities
were id. per lb. lower than last week. Brazils were
per lb. cheaper, but other sorts unchanged.
The sales were 6,000 to 7,000 bales (500 for ex-
port and 500 on speculation); comprising 100
Pernam and Maranham, at 5:241. to 6id. ; 50 Bahia,
at 61-d. ; 500 Egyptian, at 6d. to Bd. ; and 1,000
Surat, at 3-41. to 41d. ; and 160 Sea Islands, at
105 d. to is. 3d. per lb. The Railway Share Mar-
ket was quiet, but steady yesterday at a slight
advance upon Monday's prices.

The last commercial advices from New York
contained the local Board of Trade Returns, and
they are cons;dered to be satisfactory. The im-
ports of specie into the United States during the
quarter ending June 30 represented 684,481 dols.,
the free goods 15,098,990 dols., and the dutiable
46,614,192 dols., making a total of 62,327,663 dols.
The shipments of specie during the same periodwere to
the extent of 19,947,803 dols., merchandise
41,287,039 dols., foreign 7,668,572 dols., giving an
aggregate of 68,902,414 dols. From these figures
it will be observed that the value of exports ex-
ceeded that of the imports by 6,504,751 dols., and
the result appears to be rather an unusual one, as
the exportation at the particular period which
these returns embrace is generaly limited.
Every one was surprised yesterday afternoon to
hear of the stoppage of Messrs. De Lisle and Co.,
the well-known merchants, connected with the
Brazils and Canada, and acting likewise as agents
for several of the Jersey and Guernsey Banks.
Large advances to their correspondent in Canada,
who had failed to send the remittances expected,
and who have not fulfilled their engagements
entered into some timo back, are the immediate
causes of the suspension ; and, although Messrs.
De Lisle have as much as 100,0001. at command,
it was felt that there would be a useless sa-
crifice of property, now that the hope is
abandoned of any considerable liquidation of
the moneys due on the other side of the
Atlantic, if they continued business. It is
extremely satisfactory to learn that the agencies of
the banks named will not in the least be affected,
and that already arrangements have been made for
protecting their drafts by Messrs. Hankey, the Lon-
don bankers. The total debts of Messrs. De Lisle
are stated at 300,0001. to 400,0001., and there will

be an early dividend, as a large portion of the assets
in hands consist of hard cash. One reason why
this failure was the more unexpected is that at the
very time of their stoppage Messrs. De Lisle had
money deposited with the discount houses on
" call," and it was only upon the honourable con-
clusion that their total assets would be insufficient
to meet their liabilities their determination to
stop forthwith was adopted.
The demand for money in discount circles cer-
tainly does not increase from any activity in trade,
and it would be consolatory, no doubt, if it did.
There is, however, another source which promises
to take away our surplus money much faster, and
for much less legitimate purposes, namely, to keep
alive the fictitious cheapness of money at Paris, to
push on at this inconvenient period Austrian rail-
way schemes, and, worse than all, to furnish the
sinews of war to Russia. If ever there was an
occasion for legitimate interference on the part
of the Bank of England it is here, and, instead of
distressing the industrious artisan or the enter-
prising merchant at home, it would be as well to
look after such foreign houses as by various expe-
dients are lending themselves to the abstraction of
our bullion for purposes which cannot be con-
sidered beneficial to this country. We know full
well the course that should be adopted if the
Bank directors had the nerve to carry it out, and
this is neither more nor less than refusing, on any
terms, the discount of foreign bills that are sup-
posed to emanate _'.rom the erge;eme-its above re-
ferred to.

Very heavy markets still re.le in the Stock-Ex-
change, and the depression which occurred yester-
day afternoon, when Messrs. De Lisle's failure be-
came known, has not yet been recovered. It is
stated, nevertheless, that the public are buying
small parcels, and that if the bankers ceased their
large sales there would speedily be a rally. While
specie is sent away faster than it arrives we can
hardly look, however, for the cessation spoken
of ; but we believe it is in the power of
the Bank of England to check it by other and more
effectual means than simply raising its discount
charge. Consols were first quoted 871,173-, but have
since been 87i1, I, both for money and time. The
speculators must be heavy Bears at present, but
they have in their favour the support &rived from
money sales, and whatever the " chapter of acci-
dents" may bring about between this and the 12th
instant. Exchequer Bills are par to 4s. discount,
and India Bonds par to 2s. discount.
The resumption of speculative sales of Turkish
Bonds this morning has forced down the prices of
the 6 per Cents. another to 1 per cent., the
prices having rangcd from 841 and 831, at which
latter figure they are at the present moment
quoted. The New Scrip is heavier, being 21 and
2 discount. Spanish New Deferred are 19,1;-. Pe-
ruvian Active Bonds are flat, at 75 and 741.
Chilian 6 per Cents, are worth WI, Brazilian
5 per Cents. 09, and the Small Bonds 991.
The following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 18 to 20; Mexi-
can, 211 to 2111 ; Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per
Cents., 74 to 76 ; ditto Three per Cents., 54 to 56;
Portuguese Four per Cents., 43 to 45 ; Russian
Five per Cents., 97 to 99 ; Four-and-a-Half
per Cents., 85 to 88 ; Spanish New Deferred,
371 to 381 ; ditto Three per Cents., 10g to 19R-;
ditto Certificates, 41 to 41 ; ditto Passive, 44 to 5.
The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up
to this day, are in round figures as follow :

The Magdalena has brought advices from Chili
as to commercial and mineral progress. The
Bergmann had sailed from the smelting works of the
Mexican and South American Company at Hena-
dura with a cargo of about SC) tons of copper,
copper regulus, and silver copper regulus, and two
other ships were loading. The company's steamer
is carrying large quantities of ores from the ports
on the coast. At the Caldera works of the same
company several hundred tons of copper regulus
were ready for shipment at the last dates.
Railway Shares continue langaid, and most of
the quotations are ss. to 103. lower than yesterday,
while the dealings are exceedingly limited. Ant-
werp and Rotterdam aro cheaper, and Paris and
Lyons are down about ss. The Colonial shares
also rule flat.

Mining Shares are nominal. City Dank shares
are lower, and in the Miscellaneous market there
is little change.
