COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK:
Within the past few days there has been a
gradual increase in the inquiry for monetary assist-
ance, and the rates have consequently been tend-
ing in an upward direction. This morning the
brokers have been charging 71- per cent. for the
very best description of short dated commercial
paper, and there are still symptoms that higher
quotations may yet prevail,
A further sum of £5,000 in gold was taken into
the Bank yesterday.
The Seine, which left this morning with the West
Indian mails, conveyed £11,480 in specie.
The Norfolk has arrived from Melbonrnelwith
£31,300 in gold.
The return issued by the Bank of England for
the past weak is less satisfactory than was ex-
pected, notwithstanding the recent large purchase
of gold, and the small derrand for discounts at that
establishment. Subjoined are the particulars'--

the Bank of France return for the past week. The
cash has been decreased by £50,000, and the ad.
vances by £20,000. The discounts exhibit not the
least change, while the notes in circulation have
been increased by £26,700, the treasury balances
4104,000, and the current accounts £466,700.
